WEEKLY asvmwor TRADE.
R. G. Du’n 8: Co. Declare That the Pros-
pect Is'a Hopeful One—Another Re-
duction In the Output of Coke.
Failures of the “'80): Reported.
NEW YORK,’ Feb. 15.—B. G. Dun. 8.:
Co’s weekly review of trade says: '
The weather still hinders business, and
continued closeness of money and pro-.
longed inaction of congress, but confidence
increases. The treasury has been placed
on a. safe basis for a time. and foreign iiu
tions have been impressed by, the spirit
and power of the people displayed 'in the
purchases of bonds. The British g0vern-
meiit virtually assures peace with regard
to Venezuela, and apprehensions of other
foreign difficulties distinctly lessen. There
is a little more demand for some manu-
factured products. Exports improve with
yielding prices of staples, and for the week‘
from New York exceed last year’s 30 per .
cent, While imports have increased 15 per
cent. January exports of the principal
products increase except for cotton, and
were in value $59,797,193 against $59,030,-
900 last year. Considerable gold comes
from abroad for bonds, and better railroad
earnings warrant larger investments in
stocks than have yet appeared. Hope has
therefore much to encourage it.
The production of pig iron, 198,599 tons
Weekly Feb. 1, is 4.3 per cent less than
Jan. 1, and 8.6 per cent less than Nov. 1,
while the unsold stocks increased (53,188
tons in January, showing an output much
exceeding the present demand, and, more-
over, larger stocks than for a long time
are carried by the grunt steel works. Pig
iron at the east and at Chicago has not
advanced, southern coiiipotition continu-
ing at prices so low that several Alabama
furnaces have stopped, but bessemer is a
shade lower at Pittsburg. The donniiid
for plates, sheets and wire nails continues
fairly good, and there are more orders for
railroad cars and bar iron at. Chicago. but
no further sales of rails appear. and the
demand for finished products keeps but
about 70 per cent of the capacity em—
ployed.
The Various Branches.
The coke output is again much reduced.
Copper is a shade firmer, at 10 ‘4’ cents,
while tin and lead are not active and un-
changed. The demand for boots and shoes
is still disappointing, saveral factories have
closed and few are working full time, be-
lief in lower prices still prevailing, al-
though further reductions have been made
in most lines, amounting since Jan. 1,'to
6 per cent. Some makers get good orders
for women’s light shoes, but others scarce-
ly any, and Boston shipments thus far are
'21 per cent less than last year. .
Textile work shows little change, thong
the cut in print "cloths to 2.75 cents and
general concessions in brown and bleached
staples, averaging for the whole list quoted
6 per cent since Jan. 1, induced more buy-
ing, which the known accumulation of
goods ahead of demand has hindered.
Many mills are reporting great profits last
year from the rise in cotton, but the pros:
pact of a larger crop this your (loes'iiot',
promise repetition of such gains. Though
goods still average 12.7 per cent above
their lowest point a. year ago. cotton is
now 44 per cent higher than it was then.
Sales of wool have been small for two
weeks of February, 9,320, 700 pounds,
against 10,250,550 last year and 12,502,550
in 1893, but higher prices abroad, sustain-
ed by heavy shipments of goods to this
country, incline holders of wool here to
make no concessions. so that manufactur-
ers have the more difficulty in meeting
competition. Many cancellations of orders
for clay worsteds and mixtures are report-
ed since the reduction in prices.
Produce markets tend downward, main
ly because supplies exceed expectations.
Wheat has declined 3% cent, with western
receipts 3,022.306 bushels against $75,199
last year, while Atlantic exports for two
weeks have been only 3,639,195 bushels
against 2,721,514 last year.
Com, Cotton and Stocks.
Corn is a shade lower and both pork
and lard a little lower. Cotton receipts,
at this season never large, still indicate a
supply for the current crop year, includ-
ing stocks brought over, much in excess
of the world’s needs, so that the prospect
of increased acreage has the more power
to depress prices, and spot cotton has de-
clined an eighth for the week. Exports in
January were $8,653,566 less than last
year. though prices were 45 per cent
higher
Stocks were first a little depressed by
heavy realizing since the sale of bonds,
and the money market has not yet fully
settled. ‘ Railroad stocks average 10 cents
per share higher, though trust stocks aver-
age $1.36 per share higher. The busi-
ness of railroads is large enough to justify
better results. East bound shipments from
Chicago, 159,440 tons in two Weeks against
121,788 last year and 149.948 in 1893,
show a. heavy, movement of products.
Earnings for the first week of February
were 9.6 per centlargcrthun last year, and
January reports are the best since Septem-
ber, showing 10.8 per cent over last year,
though 5.0 per cent less than 1893. Lon-
don bought about 40,000 low priced shares
more than it sold, in value $1,500,000.
Money has grown easier, as settlements
for bonds have progressed. and shipments
of $3, 500,000 gold from Europe have been
announced, and there has been more ac-
tivity in commercial loans, though the
volume is still small for the season. The
increase was mostly in iron and steel man-
ufacturing paper, which has been taken at

THE HANSEN STORY.
His Alleged Discovery Is Skeptically Re-
garded In London.
Loxnox, Fob. 15—Tlio reported discov-
cryby Dr. Nansen of the north pole is
much discussed in the press today both in
London and. according to foreign tolu-
gruiiis. elsewhere. and the general opinion
seems to be, somewhat skeptical, without
denying the possiliilityof the truth of the
report. But this report is held to at least
indicate that Dr. Nansen is safe and re-
turning. The Royal Geographical society’s
, officials consider it strange that they
should. have received no word, as Dr. Nan
~ sen promised that the society should have
. the very first news, and they have as yet
received nothing. The Times prints vari—
cludcs that if’ the news is true Dr. Nansen
has accomplished the task more rapidly
than was expected. .
Every. effort possible is being made by
the Royal Geographical society to ascer-
tic explorer, has been" heard from is true.
and in addition the Russian and Swedish
governments have taken active steps to
find out the real facts in the case.
ST: PE’i‘EiiSBUiiG, Feb. ILL—The newa
from‘Dr._-Naiisen which Was telegraphed
here froniin'kutsk, Siberia, was received
there from Ust Yacht, at the mouth of the
Yana river. '
The Yana. river falls into the Arctic
ocean by several mouths in latitude 70
degrees north and longitude 137 degrees
east: of Greenwich. Ust Yacht. or Ust
Yansk, is one "of these. In fact, ust, or
cost, is the Russian name for the mouth
of a river. Ust Yacht is only a little more
than a hundred miles from Liakov island,
which‘is one of the New Siberian islands.
The mouth of the Yana is considerably
over a. hundred miles east of the Lena
delta. ‘
The ill fated Jeannette was crushed in
the ice 77 degrees 15 minutes north lati-
tude and 155 degrees east longitude on
June 13, 1881. This point is to the north-
east of the New Siberian islands. Those
of the expedition who reached land came
500 miles in boats and sleds to do it.
Their point of arrival was west and north
of Ust Yacht.
KOCHLER CAGED.
Chicago Man \Vanted His \Vife and Three
Children ltlurdcred.
CHICAGO, Feb. 15.—John Kochler is in
jail in this city accused of attempting to
hire an EISSEISSID to kill his entire family.
The alleged plot, it is claimed, was frus-
trated by three men. These are John
Meade, a miner of West Superior, Wis... a
trump by force of circumstances; Captain
Schuettler of the Sheffield avenue police
station, and Detective J. Baumer of the
same station, who disguised himself as a
tramp, and, it is said, was hired to com-
mit murder. Kochler broke down when
arrested and was so limp that officers had
to carry him to a patrol wagon.
He is an Alsatian. 42 years old, and has
amassed a small fortune in Chicago, where
he has lived for 15 years. Four months ago
he married Mrs. \Frederika Tuebbecke,
who had, besides a handsome face and
form, a four story brick house on Ciybourii
avenue. The widow had previously
brought suit for $10,000 damages for
breach of promise against Kocliler.
The affections of the couple began to
cool soon after marriage, and it was not a
month before quarrels were frequent. The
many disputes finally led to a separation,
and then the plot to murder the’wuman
and the children followed.
Saco \Veavers Strike.
SACO, Me.. Feb. 15.—Between 400 and
500 weavers of the York corporation in

The Committee of Safety Opens Its Eat-
tcties on the Aldermen. '
. ’ CHICAGO, Feb. 15.—Chicago‘s commit-
tee of safety, Which numbers 100, hashe-
gun its war against the combination in
the council. It has decided to issue an
appeal to the voters to forget party lines
in local afi'airs. The committee regards
the condition of the city as desperate, and
believes that the community is disgraced
in the eyes of ' the nation by the personal
and ofiiicial conduct of its aldermen.
The committee has held its first meeting.
Lyman 'J. Gage. who called the meeting
to order, told the reason for the public
uprising. Chicago’s reputati' , he said,
was at stake. Its government had been in
the possession of unscrupulous men. Its
council chambers had been scenes of vio-
lations of trusts. Its tax systems were
wrong and the revenue insuflicient. He
believed that thesentiment of the people
was for better things. This new move-
ment, he concluded, sought men. It did
not want politicians who brought national
issues into aldermanic elections.
The platform which was then presented,
after reciting how the committee had been
called together to remedy the present de-
plorable government, concludes: .
“We believe that the great mass of our
citizens and voters desire honest, efficient
and economichl local government. We be-
lieve that while in national and perhaps
state politics government through polit-
ical parties is essential and wise, yet we
believe that where either political party
shall fall in presenting proper candidates
for the local Ofllces the people themselves
of such- locality have the right to protect
themselves by selecting proper officers to
represent them in such local government.
We believe that an earnest and honest
effort to remedy the evils under which we
are suffering, made by the good citizens of
this community, will be as efficient today
as it has been at every period of American
history to give to this community the hon-
est, fair, just and economical administra-
tion of our local governments which every
citizen so much desires.”
THE FARMERS’ CONDITION.
Grange President Thinks It
Could Hardly Be Worse.‘
CLEVELAND, Feb. 15.—J. H. Brigham of
Delta, 0., master of the National Farm-
ers’ grango, who is now in this city, speak-
ing of the general condition of the farm-
ers says: '
“Over the entire country there seems to
bea common suffering among farmers and
also a very unequal yield of crops. In
some parts or‘ the country the crops have
been heavy. but in other sections farmers
have been particularly unfortunate. Prices
are lower this year than they have ever
been. The suffering among farmers all
National
over the country is a great deal worse this
year than it has been for years. Prices
are lower than they were during the panic
of 1893 and 1894. Oats, hay, corn and po-
t-ut-oos are not selling for over half the price
that was secured last year. The farmer
who was fortunate enough to have large
crops is not in an enviable position and
the farmer who suffered by small crops is
worse off. Their general condition is not
encouraging and I cannot see any indica-
tion of future prosperity until some defi-
nite action is taken by the government on
tariff and monetary questions.
“Thefarmers feel that they were grossly
discriminated against when wool was
placed on-the free list, and many of them
.have sufiered from this.
The theory that
free wool would benefit us has not been
substantiated by results and we have suf-
fered from this among many other things.”
. Big Suit Over a Small Sum.
Los ANGELES, Feb. 1.5—An important
'matter was argued in‘the United States
district court in the case of the Atlantic
and Pacific railroad versus the United
States. The railroad is ostensibly suing to
secure $12.50 for the transportation of a
soldier over its line. The real point to be
decided is \\ hether the road is a land grant
aided road or not. If it is, it is only en-
titled to half rates for carrying soldiers.
If it is not, it can collect full fare.
‘ A Preacher Enjolned.
BOSTON, Feb. 15.—Judge Morton in the

roe Street, Brooklyn, N. Y.,
writes:
“November 27, 1895.
“SALVA-CEA is the best friend I
have had for .six years. Having been
a. sufferer for that length of time
with Salt Rheum, and after trying
almost every remedy known, without
getting any relief, I tried abox of
SALVA-CEA, and can honestly Say I
was cured before using the entire
n
box.
In advertising SALYA-CEA
we mention nothing butfacts.
We do not say it will do
things that it will not do, and
the public appreciate this.
'It is the best remedy for
piles, ulcerations, old sores, -
skin irritation, chilblai its,
colds, and nasal catarrh.
