Dun’s Review Of Trade.
AN ENCOURAGING ' REPORT.
3131. Price and SmallYield of Cotton W111
Tend to Discourage Exports—Every-
body at Sea About Iron and
‘ Steel Manufacture».
NEW YORK, Sept. 28.'—B. G. Dun &
00. ’s weekly review of trade says:
The full statement of about 2,800 com-
mercial failures for ,the third quarter of
1895 shows liabilities of about 330,000, 000,
of which about $11,000, 000 have been of
manufacturing and $17, 600,000 of trading
concerns. In the same quarter of last
yearthe failures were 2, 868 and the liabil-
ities $29,411,196, of which $12, 331, 892
were of manufacturing and $15,181,230 of
trading cOncerns, while in the third quar-
ter of 1893 the commercial failures were
4,015, with liabilities of $82, 469, 821. In
the three quarters of 1895 the cominelcial
failures have been about 9, 400, with lia-
bilities of about $118, 000, 000 against
$131,144, 502 last year and $251, 334, 265 in
1893. The liabilities in manufacturing
failures this year have been about $51,-
000, 000 against 853, 863,148 last year, and
in trading about $63,000,000 against 866,-
527, 208 last year.
The week’s reports are highly encourag-
ing as to monetary matters, although
exports of gold still continue, and also as
to the cotton manufacture, but not as sat-
isfactory regarding iron, woolen, leather
or silk manufacture. The volume of busi-
September thus far is 3.8 per cent larger
than last year, but 12 per cent smaller .
than in 1892. The exchanges through all
the principal clearing houses have been
'21.4 per cent larger than last year, but 8.1
It is the fu-
men are trying to base business calcula-
tions, and at present the outlook as to fu-
ture business is nearly as encouraging as
it was a week ago. The one drawback is
that, while imports of merchandise con-
tinue about 30 per cent larger than last
year, the exports of cotton, the main re-
liance at this season for debt paying, are
likely to be materially restricted by the
great advance in price.

DUNRAVEN’S WISHES.
Ile Is Anxious to Sail Against the '
. Defender Again Next Year.
STILL SIGHING FOR THE OUP.
The Programme Contemplates a Race
After the Meeting of Defender and
Distant Shore—Splendid Sport
Promised Next Year.
BOSTON, Sept. 28. —A. G. McVey, the
‘yachting expert of the New York Herald
and one of the authorities On the sport,
sends the following to his paper:
When I last talked with Lord Dunraven,
the suggestion was made to him, in view
,of the unfortunate outcome of the cup
races of 1895, that he allow the Valkyrie
to remain over here, and so have it out
again with the Defender in 1896. He
made no reply to my suggestion and would
not say whether such a thing would be
agreeable. In fact, my proposition took
him unawares, and he was not prepared
to give an immediate answer. I conclud-
ed, however, that he would not be averse
to meeting the Defender again in 1896,
because he would make no statement
either way.
Teclmicalities shOuld have no place in
the supreme sporting contest of the world.
To give Lord Dunravcn a race in 1896 is‘
to silence unjust criticism of the New
York Yacht club and the American peo-
ple, and besides furnish a. complete an-
swer to the blackguardism indulged in by
some of the British newspapers.
There is a precedent for accepting two
challenges in one year—that of the Genesta
and the Galatea. The club has the power
to rescind the rule that two ’years must
elapse before a defeated yacht can again
sail for the cup, because, under the mu-
: tual agreement clause of the deed of gift,
quotations here are so much higher than .
. at Liverpool that free exports cannot be
expected. It seems no longer possible to
‘- hope for a good crop, and Neill Bros. have ,
issued a. circular predicting a yield of only
7,000,000 bales. The accounts of injury
and loss grow more dismal each week, and
while they may be somewhat exaggerated
the general outlook is decidedly unfavor-
able. But for the extraordinary supplies
carried over from last year the manufac-
turers here and abroad would be in trou-
ble. But prices of goods rise each week,
adding to the profit of mills, which on
both sides of the ocean 'can use for some
time to come old cotton bought at low
prices. It is not yet clear how far the con-
sumption will support the manufacture at
the present rate and at present prices for
goods, though the demand from dealers is
naturally urgent, while the market for the
raw material is constantly rising. There
is still some chance Of a strike in Fall
River mills, though the rise in prices will
make it easier for the mills to grant some
advance in wages.
The wheat market has been excited
without much discoverable reason, and
the price has advanced over 5 cents for
’spot and 2% cents for December deliveries.
It may be said that crop prospects abroad
are not quite as favorable as they were, a
month ago, and with a short supply at
best in this country the market is liable to
be unusually sensitive. Western receipts
for the week have been 5, 601, 568 bushels
against 5,432,254 last year, and for the
month 22,393,228 bushels against 21,923,-
883 last year. . The experts from Atlantic
ports, flour included, have been 1,887,501
bushels for the week against 2,410,584 last
year, and for the past four weeks 7, 524, 631
bushels against 8,772,318 last year. Hold-
ers of corn have judiciously declined to
“ sympathize” with wheat to a great ex-
tent, and the price is practically un-
changed. Pork and hog products are
somewhat lower. ’
Iron and Steel.
Nothing is clear about the iron and
steel manufacture, but some of the largest
Pittsburg concerns, professing to have or-
ders for many months ahead, are bidding
for, small contracts in eastern markets at
$1 to $1.50 per ton less than the quoted
rate. Some say that it is done to depress
the market, and again it is thought that
the object may be to buy materials,
but contracts have been made at the cast
for 250,000 tons of foreign ore, to be used
in bessemer iron making at'eastern fur-
naces, and the termination of the Mar-
quette strike sets free about 500,000 tons
more of bessemer ore within the period of
lake navigation: The strike of coke work-
ers at Connellsville seems to have been
avoided.
The advance in wool at LondOn sales
stimulated the speculation here, but
prices are, on the whole, unchan ed, and
sales have been for the month 34, 75,970
pounds, of which 10,566,370 were foreign
against31', 021,000 for' the same weeks of
1892, of which 9,523,900 were foreign.
While the demand for dress goods eon-
tinues fair there is no discoverable im-
provement in men’s woolens, and the im-
portations continue very heavy.
The exports of gold, though not as
large as they were some weeks ago, cause
some disquiet in view of the disbanding
of the bdhd‘fiyndicate. Money has gone
to the interior rather largely, and there
is considerable increase in volume of
Commercial loans.- Stocks have slightly
declined for railroads during the week,
though the market shows much stubborn-
ness, and trust stocks average 42 cents per
share higher than a week ago. but are
growing stronger in tone. Failures for
the week have been 216 in the United
States against 235 last year, and 50 in
Canada against 55 last year.
.I .
“any and all conditions of the deed may
be waived by mutual agreement.” So
there is no barrier to allowing the Val-
kyrie III to race again in 1896 if the mem-
bers of the New York Yacht club so elect.
Another precedent has also been estab- ,
lished which might be applied ' here.
Should Mr. Rose issue a challenge under
the same terms as Lord Dunraven, then,
under the terms gove1 ning the match for
1895, Mr. Rose, the challenger for 1896,
could, in case his yacht proves to be not
so fast as the Valkyrie, name the Valky-
rie III as the challenging boat. In the
conditions made between Lord Dunraven
in 1895 and the New, York Yacht club it
was agreed that if the Valkyrie III, after
trial, was not the fastest British boat,
then Lord Dunraven had the option of
naming as the challenging yacht a British
yacht faster than his own.
Dunraven “’11! Race.
If the Defender should be sent to the
Mediterranean, it is most likely that the
Valkyrie will start across and take part in
the winter races at Nice and elsewhere
against the Defender.
Lord Dunravcn, while 118 does not say
so in words, shows by leaving the Val-
kyrie over here that he is willing to race
the Defender in 1896. If the New York
Yacht club should unfortunately happen
to take anarrow view of the situation,
then Mr. Iselin should renew to Lord Dun-
raven the offer that he made to the Amer-'
ica’s cup committee and inform him that
he will sail him a private match of three
out of five races at such time and place
as Lord Dunraven may select. This
would be a most honorable thing to do,
and Mr. Iselin can be assured that such
sportsmanlike conduct on his part will
receive the applause of the whole Ameri-
can people and put him right in places
where he has been unjustly wronged and
criticised.
_ If no race can be had for the America’ s
cup, then let the members of the New
York Yacht club ‘ offer a cup to he raced
for between the Defender, Valkyrie, Vigi-
lant, Jubilee, Navahoe and Colonia. Such
a match would be most interesting and in-
structive, and in the end it would do a
heap Of good. In any event the Valkyrie’s
remaining with us over the winter will be
a good thing for the new challenger, for
she can be used as a trial horse for the
Distant Shore, and in this way Mr. Bose’ s
yacht could be worked up to true racing
form.
After all, matters have turned out much
better than it was thought they would,
and yachting writers on both sides will
be doing their duty to yachting if they
write more for the sport and less about
unfair play.
A Sensible Suggesfion.
Now that the Valkyrie is to remain
here, would it not be a good thing for the
members of our leading yacht clubs to call
early meetings, arrange regattas on non-
conflicting dates, and thus make 1896 the
red letter year of yachting up to date?
The Atlantic, Seawanhaka, Larchmont
and Eastern yacht clubs could well give,
splendid cups, and there are many thou-
sand dollars left in the hands of the New-
port committee. This money could be
given for cups next year.
Such sportsmen as Messrs. Ogden Goe-
let Jr. ., Pierpont Morgan, John Jacob
Astor, F. W. Vanderbilt and George J.
Gould can each be depended on to offer
suitable cups to be raced for off N ewport;
during a. carnival week. N 0 outside in:
ternational challenge cup will ever take
the place of the America’s cup. and this
is exactly as it should be.
Should Mr. Rose’s challenge be received
in ten days, according to the ten months’
notice, the cup races for 1896 can be sailed
in July, when better breezes are likely to
be had than in September. There is now
plenty of time to arrange all matters
quite satisfactorily, and in the meanwhile
let Commodore Arthur Glennie. Sailmak-
er Ratsey and Captain Cranfield stop talk-
ing. Cheap remarks are now more than
ever out of place. The men in the front
ranks of yachting .on both sides of the
water have no patiepee with disturbers.
General Paine said a good thing the
other day, “The least said now the soon-
est mended. ” This sentiment finds favor
.with all true yachtsmcn.

Molr's Challenge—Ti) Have a Boat
{heady For 1897.
LONDON, Sept. 28.—Herbert Moir, who
is organizing a syndicate to build a yacht
to sailfor the America’s cup, is the head
of a large West Australian corporation,
with headquarters in Cannon street, Lon-
don. In an interview today he said:
Mr-
compete for the America’s cup. I wrote
1. challenge, which was published first in
The Financial News last week. Since
then Mr. Rose has challenged for the cup.
I first started yachting in Sydney harbor.
Like all good yachtsmen and Australians,
I did not see why the cup should remain
in America. I traveled "all through the
United States last autumn. I understand
that Valkyrie III cost the. Dunraven syn-
dicate $80, 000, with designer’s fees, and I
‘ am quite prepared to span an equal sum.
I shall call the boat after the colony where
I have made my greatest successes, West
Australia. It will be a fin keel craft and
will be built upon somewhat similar lines
to Britannia. I cannot disclose the
measurements yet.
“The acceptance of Mr. Rose’s chal-
lenge for the America’s cup will preclude,
the possibility of my racing in 1896, but
I shall=have my yacht ready for 1897. In
this enterprise Iam associated with a syn-
dicate of wealthy yachtsmen and sports-
men of the west end. I cannot disclose
the names of these men a present, how-
ever. I am ready to sail a, ywhere. Any
water that is good enough for Defender is
good enough for me. The challenge will
be sent to the United States soon. - .
“The question as to who shall design
the West Australia has not yet been set-
tled. I am negotiating with four design-
ers. I must say, however, that I prefer
the Clyde to the south of England yacht '
builders.”
HARRISON TALKS.
The Err-President Gives His Views About
the Enforcement of Laws.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 28.—Ex—President
Benjamin Harrison has expressed himself
on the enforcement of the law, which is
the. chief issue in the present municipal
campaign. He said:
“The importance of an honest, econom-
ical, business administration of city offi-
cers and the firm enforce1 ent of ‘all the
laws cannot be overstated, A city so
managed attracts business and population.
I believe we have now these things. and
that we shall continue them if Mr. Trus-
lcr (Republican candidate) is elected may-
The idea that a mayor or chief of po-
lice is at liberty to permit any law or or-
dinance to be violated is monstrous. We
choose executive Officers to enforce laws
and not to 1epcal or s IEREDQTIJEIB at their
Thei1 oath is so. It is subver-
sive of our system and destructive of so-
cial order and of the peace of communi-
ties to allow our executive officers to
choose what laws they will enforce. It is
not at all a question whether I like the
law or whether the officer likes the law.
What sort of co 1rlition of society would
we have if no man obeyed the law and no
officer enforced it unless he liked it? Such
questions are for the legislature and the
council. To find fault with an officer for
enforcing the law is to repudiate our sys‘
tem of government, and to vote ,against a
candidate because he is pledged to enforce
the laws is. to associate oneself with the
lawbreakers. ”
Ireland Disaster Indictments.
NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—It was stated to-
day on ofiicial authority that it was prob-
able that the grand jury would present in-
dictments in connection with the fatalities
resulting from the collapse of the Ireland
building on West Broadway. No intima-
tion could be obtained of the names of the
men to be indicted.
will probably be manslaughter in the sec-
ond degree.
To Elect the House of Lords.
LONDON, Sept. 28.—The Daily Chroni-
cle, an organ of the Liberal party, states
in its issue of today that the leaders of the
Conservative party intend to make the
house of lords an elective body, either
adopting the principle already existing in
relation to Scottish peers sitting in the
house of lords or to have the house of
commons elect an upper chamber frOm the
peerage.
Murderer Carter \Vanted.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H ., Sept. 27.—The po-
lice authorities of this city received a. tele-
gram from the chief of police of Baltimore.
to hold Martin Carter, who has been de-
tained at police headquarters since Tues-
day night, a self confessed murderer. Car-
ter, who is about 31 years old, claims to
be a sailor and says he belongs in Balti-
more, though rccently making his home
at Laurel, Md. ~He asserts that he mur-
dered Annie Jones in Baltimore Aug. 17,
by stabbing her with a sheath knife.
