The Result of a Conference of Leading Manufacturers —-.Some Encouraging Reports of Leading Crops—The Failures of the Week. NEW, YORK, June 27.—R. ‘ G. Dun & Oo.’s weekly review of trade says: The monetary outlook is not yet clear to some. The strength shown in recent conventions by advocates of silver coinage and—expectation that all the elements fa- voring that policy may yet be concentrat- ed incline them to a waiting attitude. Their uncertainty retards improvement. But many mills have waited as long as they can with safety, and signatures have been given by enough cotton mills of Fall River to insure a temporary stoppage, it is stated, the nature of which is now under discussion in conference with the Provi- . deuce manufacturers. Meanwhile the Pa- cific of Lawrence and. the Naumkeag of Salem' have closed for a time, and practi- cally all the southern cotton mills will be represented at a meeting on Monday with the same object. Woolen mills are acting without concert, but 14 are mentioned in dispatches as having closed this week. There is no similar movement in other in- dustries, though the period of summer clos- ing is at hand in many of them, and im- portant controversies as to wages of iron puddlers and other hands make it likely that the annual stoppage in that industry may last longer than usual. Although $1,350, 000 has been sent abroad this week, bankers generally be- lieve that a change in foreign trade will arrest the outgo and cause imports before long. The increase of about 30 per cent in exports of merchandise from New York, with decrease of 16.6 per cent in imports of all foreign goods for four weeks past, shows a favorable balance, which should soon have effect on the specie movement. Currency comes hither from the interior, but only $2,000,000 net for the week, while the commercial demand for money is not large anywhere and there is scarcely the faintest posibiilty of any financial disturb- ance. Although the treasury deficit con- tinues, it is for this month only about $1,000,000. Speculative conditions have depressed stocks about 80 cents per share and trust stocks about $1.36, heavy opera- tions in sugar engrossing attention. Wheat and Cotton Weak. The weakness of wheat, which has de- clined 1.62 cents, and of cotton, which is an eighth lower for spots, though less for futures, have full explanation in decidedly good crop prospects. Returns of harvest- ‘ing thus far support the best estimates as to wheat, and the condition of cotton has been decidedly improved by rains. The closing of many mills also threatens to cut off the demand between this date and Sept. 1 by 30,000 to 40,000 bales, but in ' any event the stocks on hand are ample. Wheat receipts at western ports have been 2,696,692 bushels against only 787,291 last year, and for three weeks past 9,551,278 bushels against 5,954,005 last year, and while Atlantic exports have sharply in- creased, amounting to 7,867,527 bushels, flour included, against 4,913,437 for three weeks of June last year, there is no reason to doubt regarding the sufi‘iciency of sup- plies. The hay crop has also been exceed- ingly good at the west. ,It is not wholly a Welcome but a necessary conclusion that prices for the great staples are not likely to be higher. It may be doubted whether the boot and shoe industry has ever been in better shape on the whole, though manufacturers com- plain that an advance in price is neces- sary, which dealers are very reluctant to pay. The evidence of exhaustion of stocks grows stronger, but the demand is very largely for low priced goods. Shipments from Boston amounted to 359,185 cases in four weeks of June against 389,836 last year and 342, 500 in 1894, but the gain in value has not been corresponding. Many shops have work until September. Many others have current orders exceeding out- put, but a number probably much larger is nearly at the end of orders. Leather is slightly lower for kinds not controlled by and at Chicago packer hides are steady, while country have advanced a shade, with small re- ceipts. Copper is held at 11.75 cents, lead is' hardening at 3.05 cents, and American tin plates are well sold at 15 cents below foreign. , Combinations’ Eflect on Prices. The great combinations, which, The Iron Age wisely reasons, tend to cause dis- astrously low prices hereafter, still control the markets both for material and finished products of iron and steel, though it is re- ported that lower prices will soon be made for coke, owing to better utilization of by- products, and for nails owing to the heavy decrease in consumption. The billet pool reports no large sale, but middlemen or The new demand for finished products is very light, and while quotations average a shade lower most of them are cut to secure business. Bessemer pig is a shade lower at $12.25 at Pittsburg. The textile manu— facturers, as has been said, are generally devising curtailment of production, and the only change in prices is downward. Sales of wool have been 12,855,600 pounds for four weeks, of which 7,506,100 were domestic against 33,583,965 last year, of which 16,132, 485 were domestic. Commercial failures in three weeks of June, exclusive of one for about $1,000,000 not yet reported, show liabiliites of 37,- 658,614 against $16,509,022 last year, in- cluding the Cordage company, and $9,683,- 465 in the same week of 1894. Manufac- turing were 83,848,495 against $2,106,293, exclusive of Cordage, last year and $3,395,- 464 in 1894. Trading were $3,732,387 against $5, 112, 329 last year and $5,519,520 in 1894. Failures for the week have been 217 in the United States against 256 last year and 24 in Canada against 22 last year. , New York’s Alleged Contract Frauds. NEW YORK, June 27.—-Michael Red- mond, the contractor, who was indicted for affixing the names of Michael O’Ccn- nell and Fred Schraeder to a. city bond, was today called upon to give bail in the sum of $2,500 for his friend, John J. Clarke, indicted on the same charge. Clarke was arraigned before Judge Cow- ing and pleaded not guilty. Steamship Scuttled and Sunk. LIVERPOOL, June 27. -— The British steamship Lucerne, while loading for an' east bound voyage, was discovered to be on fire and was scuttled and sunk to prevent filer total destruction. The fire is supposed to have been caused by .the explosion of a lamp. ~ Advertise. in the Guerra. resurrrme’s 'so’r DEAD. “*3 ' He Was the Due de Nemours, \Vhose Iii ther “’33 Louis Philippe. 'LONDON,-June 27. —A.dispatch to The Times from Paris says that the Due de Nemours died at Versailles. Louis Charles Philippe Raphael d’Or- » leans, Duc do Nemours, one of the Orleans princes, was the second son of King Louis Philippe and was born in Paris in 1814. He was still a child when Charles X, in accordance with ancient custom, appoint- ed him colonel of the First regiment of Chasseurs a Cheval, at the head of which he made his entry into Paris in 1830. In 1831 he was elected king of the Bel- gians, but his royal father declined this offer of the national congress on his be- half, as he did also at a later period a sim- ilar offer of the crown of Greece. Subsequently the Duc do N emours served with distinction in the two Belgian cam- paigns and in Algeria, being in 1837 pro- moted to the rank of lieutenant general. The premature decease of his elder brother, the Due d’Orleans, in 1842, placed him in a position of great importance. Contrary to the traditions of the old monarchy, which were in favor of the mother of the heir presumptive being de- clared regent, a bill was introduced con. ferring the regency on the Duc de Nemours and carried in the chamber of deputies and afterward in the peers. . » The general apprehension of. danger, however, caused this law to be abandoned in 1848. After the revolution the Duc do No- mours quitted France and joined the other members of the exiled family at Clare- mont, and he did not return to his native country until after the downfall of the empire in 1870. He had since played a vpry insignificant part in royalist affairs. In 1886 his ndme was stricken off the French army list when his family was expelled from France. His sons are the Comte d’Eu and the Due d’Alencon. BBRZ IS COMING OVER. He \Vas Mixed Up In the Panama Scan- dal and He Fled to England. LONDON, June 27.——The Post announces that Cornelius Herz will sail from South- ampton for New York with his family in a few days. . It was only in May that the authorities of Great Britain finally determined to re- fuse the request of the French government for the extradition of Dr. Herz for com« plicity in the Panama scandals, after he had been under the surveillance of the au- thorities on a sickbed at Bournemouth for over three years. It had been repeatedly stated by eminent medical authorities that Dr. Herz was not able to appear before a magistrate for ex. amination. A special modification of the treaty of extradition with France was made so as to allow the magistrate to conduct the ex- amination at Dr. Herz's bedside. Sir John Bridge, who conducted this examination, the patient being supported by two nurses and his wife, in declining to grant the sick man’s extradition said that the proceedings formed the saddest spectacle he had ever seen and filled him with pity for the wife and children, who wore so carefully attending the dying man. The Chinese Attack on a Mission. LONDON, J une 27.—The Daily News has a letter from Canton giving an account of the attack upon the American mission at Kiang-Yin on May 13 last. A crowd gath~ ered on account of the slander that the missionaries were kidnaping infants. “Sure enough,” the letter continues, “the body of a child .was found beneath some dried leaves in the garden. The mission- aries would certainly have been killed if they had not escaped over a wall to the fort. ” Suit For a. Large Sum. SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.—The Central Trust company of New York has com- menced suit in the United States circuit court against the California and Nevada Railway company for $367,050, alleged to be due for interest on bonds issued by the company in 1884. A new receiver is asked, and the suit includes foreclosure. Irving- L. Ford Hanged. WASHINGTON, June 27,—Irving L.

The ‘Artioles For a Finish Fight For 310,-” * 000 a Side. Have Been Signed. 1‘ SAN Fnancrsco, June 27.—-It is now a‘ settled met that James J. Corbett? and Thomas 'Sharkey will ‘meet in a finish.‘ fight for $10,000 a side. _ Both men are anxious to settle the question of suprem- acy, COrbett to retrieve the laurels he so. nearly lost and Sharkey to make good to the world the statement he has~repeatedly made that he can defeat the champion} The preliminaries have all been arranged,—'» andthe men met at 2 o'clock this after- noon to sign the articles of agreement. They call for a meeting before, anyelub in the UnitedStates offering a's'uitable' purse, and if the match cannot be held before a club the men are to meet on Mexican soil. The battle is to take" place within six months, the exact date to be agreed upon later. Both. men will begin preparatory work immediately, and it must be admit- ted that the champion will need long and careful training to put him in condition for the hurricane battle that is sure to take place. Corbett says he will train as faithfully as he ever did in his life for his next match, and he will have to win. Shar- key carries a full blown eye as a reminder of his last mill, but otherwise is unmarked. His confidence in himself is unbounded, and he says that now he has Corbett’s- measure he will simply let the champion wear himself out punching him, and then. he will go in and end the trouble. Choynski After Sharkey Too. CHICAGO, J une 27.—Parson Davis is anxious to arrange a mates between Shar- key and Joe Choynski. Davis sent the fol- lowing challenge to the sporting editor of a San Francisco paper: “I have deposited $1,000 with Will J. Davis, manager of the Columbia and Hay- market theaters, this city, in support of the following offer tQTom Sharkey, who has lately made such a splendid showing against James J. Corbett in your city. I will match Joe Choynski against Sharkey for a finish contest, Queensberry rules, for a side wager of $5,000 at any reasonable time after signing articles. In the event of the contest taking place in or near your city I will transfer my money to your pa- per, which I trust will act as the final stakeholder. In the event of Sharkey not desiring to engage in a finish contest with Choynski I am prepared to make a match of eight rounds, Choynski to attempt to stop him, under the same conditions which governed their former contest, and the marine champion failing to accept either of the above offers the following proposi- tion is made to James J. Corbett: “Joe Choynski will box him eight rounds. Should Corbett stop him he is to take the entire gate receipts. Failing to do so, he is to forfeit the same. As Choyn- ski’s showing with Fierkey was far su- perior to Corbett’s‘, and as Sharkey public- ly stated that Joe was the greatest fighter he had ever met, this should prove a good contest. I trust I will receive an immedi- ate answer to the above, as I am arrang- Maher for Joe. The above propositions, however, hold good irrespective of the re- sults of the contests with Maher and Cree— don.” . . 13 SEE PAIR’S WIDOW? Mrs. Craven Springs is Big Surprise, In Her Suit For 31,090,000. " SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.—Mrs. Nettie R. Craven has at last 'reveaied her rela- tions with the late James G. Fair. In the presence of a score of attorneys and a courtroom full of people she told Judge Slack that she was the widow of the dead millionaire. _ The marriage was by contract, she swore, and took place on May 23, 1892, at 823 'Sutter street, where Mrs. Craven was then living. The record of the ceremony, with Fair’s signature attached, was in her possession, she said, and would be pro- duced at the proper time. Mystery surrounds the event. Accord- ing to Mrs. Craven, the contract nuptials were celebrated in the evening. The record of the affair was drawn by herself at her' husband’s request, who feared it might be disagreeable to his children. The revelation was made in connection with two deeds recently filed by Mrs. ,Craven, in which the late senator is said to have transferred to her property worth $1,000,000. Plan to Rob a Bank Vault. Los ANGELES, June 27.—0ne of the boldest attempts at bank robbery ever made on the Pacific coast has just come to light. The object was to enter the steel vault of the First National bank, and to reach it the robbers dug a tunnel 102 feet in length, extending from a street adjoin- ing the bank and running thence under the cellars of three other banks. This tun- nel had progressed to a point directly be- neath the vault when the police authori— ties learned of its existence. g Henley Regatta Entries. ‘ LONDON, June 27.—-'I‘he entries in the Henley regatta closed today.
