Dun-’s Review Holds That Responsible
For Depressed Prices.
THE HEAVY GOLD EXPORTS.
A Reflex of Foreign Rather Than Amer-
ican Conditions—The Big Drop In Cot-
ton—Prospects of a Large Crop.
Failures cf the Week.
NEW YORK, July 18.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’s weekly review of trade says: ,
The action at the Chicago convention
has had some influence in the markets the
past week, but a far more important factor
has been the feeling that the financial fu-
ture is still uncertain. This acute attack
of doubt, coming at a time when business
is for other reasons seriously depressed.
has made the week unusually gloomy in
speculative circles. The average price of 60
active railroad stocks has declined from
$47.22 to $44.76 per share and the aver-
age ofytrust stocks from $47.30 to $44.48
per share. The operations of speculators
caused nearly all the decline, but they
would not have been able to depress prices
in this fashion had there not been a. pre-
vailing sense of distrust.
The exports of gold, probably amount-
ing to $3,525,000 for the week, appear to
.reflect foreign rather than American con-
ditions, because the merchandise experts
for two weeks of June haw been 25 per
cent larger than last year, while the im-
ports for substantially the same weeks
have been 20 per cent'smaiier than last
year. Within a'short time the rapidly in-
creasing outgo of wheat will have an im-
portant effect and a little later the outgo
of cotton, which will probably be large at
low prices, and meanwhile the exports Of
animal products are heavy, prices being
exceptionally low. Current reports have
made European buying of securities con-
siderably in excess of selling, but it is
necessary to note that such reports ordi-
narily deserve little confidence, because
New York speculators know how to make
orders seem to come from foreign sources.’
The wheat market has been remarkably
well supported in spite of a very favorable
report by the government, and prices are a
shade higher than a week ago without any
discoverable reason connected with Amer-
ican supply or demand. Although the
government crop report was unexpectedly
favorable, it commanded little confidence
because previous returns have been mis-
leading. But it is claimed, with appear-
ance of reason, that new methods adopted
by the department have made the returns
this year more reliable than heretofore.
One old difficulty remains, however, that
comparisons are made with past returns
which are known to be absurdly in error,
though no one can say how far.
Cotton’s Big Drop.
Cotton has fallen almost 1 cent in op-
tions and three-sights in spot prices be-
cause the men who were sure there would
be a cotton famine in July, and have been
holding large qantities of cotton in expec-
tation of higher prices, have changed their
minds. The closing of about three-quar-
ters of the southern mills in producing
capacity and about half of the northern
mills for part of the time until the new
crop comes forward will help to prevent a.
disastrous decline in prices of goods, but
if accounts of condition are not mislead-
ing and the general rains in Texas have
helped the crop as much as many believe,
the yield is likely to be more than 9,000,-
000 bales. The decrease in consumption
here is not yet effective in helping the
prices of cotton goods, which are still sell-
ing at about the lowest quotations ever
made.
The woolen manufacture is waiting,
and as new orders are exceedingly slow,
the sales of wool at the three chief mar-
kets were for the week only 2,155,100
pounds, transactions at Boston being re-
ported the lowest ever known at that mar—
ket. For three weeks of July sales have
been only 8,556,981 pounds, of which
5,340,981 were domestic, against 34,480,-
114 pounds for the same week last year, of
which 22,494,109 were domestic. There is
no change in prices, the average of 104
quotations at Philadelphia being precisely
the same as June 1, and western holders
are still hoping for better times and ask-
ing higher prices than eastern markets can
pay.
The output of pig iron July 1 was 180,-
532 tons weekly against 182,220 June 1
and 171,194 tons a. year ago. The decrease
since the maximum was reached, Nov.
1. 217,306 tons weekly, has been mu-
teriai, and yet stocks are rapidly accumu-
lating, those held by producers, not in-
cluding the great steel companies, amount-
ing to 815,872 tons, an increase of 29,929
tons for the month of June, or about 7,000
tons per week, which indicates a consump.
tion of less than 173,000 tons. Considering
the fact that the accumulation by the
great steel companies must have been
large, the consumption is undoubtedly
smaller than it was a year ago.
Demand For Iron and SteeL.
The demand for finished products of
iron and steel is extremely narrow, al-
though one considerable building contract
is reported, 5, 000 tons for the San Fran-
cisco Call building, with a few smaller
Contracts. But in bars the combination
has found itself unable to maintain prices,
and there are renewed reports that the
great decrease in sales of nails will force a
reduction of price Aug. 1. Bessemer pig
has not changed in nominal quotation at
Pittsburg, although one sale of 10,000
tons to an Indianapolis concern is report-
ed at prices netting only $11 to the Valley
furnace. Grey forge has been sold at a
price equivalent to $9.75 at Pittsburg.
The average of iron and steel prices is the
lowest since a year ago. The manufacture
of boots and shoes is weakening under the
effort to secure an advance in price, al-
though most of the works have orders for
some time ahead. But the demand is very
light and nearly all the shops would have
to close if dependent upon new orders.
Failures for the week have been 269 in
the United States against 256 last year,
and 35 in Canada against 39 last year.

NEW YORK, July 18.—Harry Beckerle,

THE VENEZUELAN 'MUDDLE.
The'Marquls of Salisbury Speaks of the
Trouble In {Decidedly Ami- -
cable Tone.
LONDON. July 18.—Tho Marquis of
Salisbury laid before the house Of lords
today the papers on the subject of arbitra-
tion. His lordship said that the negotia-
tions between the United States and Great
Britain were not complete, but that they
are advancing amicably. On the smaller
question of Venezuela, regarding which
the UnitedStates had assumed an atti-
tude of friendly protection, dimoulties
arose out of the fact that Venezuela’s
claim placed two-thirds of the colony of
British Guiana subject to arbitration. The
first thing necessary was to ascertain the
real facts in regard to the controversy
from the history of Venezuela. When that
had been fully ascertained by a commis-
sion in which both countries had confi-
dence, he felt that the diplomatic ques-
tions which would follow would not be
very difficult of adjustment; but, even if.
they should be, those difficulties would be
overcome by arbitration. It had been im-
possible to move faster owing to the ab-
sence of a full knowledge of the facts in
the case. The labor involved had been
enormous.
THE REBELLION IN CUBA.
Another Story of Jose Maceo's Death.
Slain In in Charge on Spaniards.
HAVANA, July 18.—Private advices give
a difierent account of the death of Jose
Maceo, the insurgent leader, from the ver-
sions that have heretofore been given out,
the latest of these being that he was court
martiaied and shot at the order of General
Calixto Garcia fur insubordination. Ac-
cording to the story, after the insurgent
Colonel Cartagena had been killed in the
engagement in the Gate Hills, Macao, with
his staff and escort, put himself at the
head of the forces and led in a dash by
which he hoped to surprise the Spaniards.
He had, however, made a serious mis-
calculation and found himself confronted
by a strong force ”in a superior position.
Seeing his error and hoping to escape,
Macao shouted to his followers: “Back!
Let us retreat! There are too many for
us.” As he uttered the last word a rifle
bail struck him in the back of the neck
and passed through his head, emerging
between the eyes. The voileythat killed
Maceo also slew his friend, Dr. Peructo
Echavarria and several members of his
stafl'.
Pear-l Bryan’s Murder Recalled.
CINCINNATI, July 18.—An unknown ,
blond young woman was found this morn-
ing by a Fort Thomas soldier .lying un-
conscious on the ground on J. B. Locke’s
farm within a. few feet of the spot where
the beheaded body of Pearl Bryan Was
left by her murderers. The greatest ex-
citement followed, as it was soon reported
that another murder had been committed.
The girl was taken to Newport, where it_
was found that she had either been drug-
ged or had taken poison herself. ‘
Funeral of Fix-Governor Russell.
BOSTON, July 18.—The arrangements
for the funeral of ex-Governor Russell are

quiesce to this arrangement, and that the
body will be placed in state in the city
hall of Cambridge on Monday, and the
funeral will take place on Tuesday.
The Stranded Steamer Colombia.
PESCADEno, Cal, July 18.'—The Pacific

loons and in taking everything movable
out of her. There is not much cargo of
importance left in the steamer, and what
remains is ruined by the water.

A Discovery That He Probably Took-Fob.
son Before Hanging Himself. \ '
ROME, N. Y., July “18.—It is learned
that the rope found about the neck of
George Barnard, the defaulting cashier oi
theFort’Stanwix bank, was not the only
‘ agency that caused his death at the time .
of the discovery of the wrecking of the
bank last January. Mr. Huntington, the
representative of Receiver Griffin, who has
charge of the bank, found in the little
room where Barnard's- body was discov-
ered a bottle containing a few drops of
luudanum. On the label was the name of
the druggist, J. G. Btssell, from whose
store the poison was purchased and who
told Mr. Huntington that the laudanum
was purchased at his store by Barnard.
Mr. Bisseli says that hesold the poison to.
Barnard a day or two before he committed
suicide. The theory advanced is'that Bar-
nard used the rope to make death certain,
should the iaudanum not prove fatai;that
after taking the poison he soon became
unconscious, and. falling backward, the
rope tightened about his neck. As the rope
was found around the neck bythe coroner
be naturally supposed that to be the cause
of death without further-investigation.
