Dun & Co. ’5 weekly review of trade says: Clearing house certificates have not been issued, but instead gold is coming hither largely on the swiftest'steamers, about $10,000,000 being already on' the way. Higher lending rates bring it, notwith- Lcndon markets. The shrinkage of mér- chandlse imports and the increase of ex- ports help, for comparing with last year _, exports have increased 9.6 per cent in Au- .gust,'while imports have decreased 30.4 per cent, and for last week 40 per cent. Liabilities in failures for three weeks end- ing Aug. 20 were $20,932,285 against $6,519, 366 5 last year and $8,214,470 in 1894'; manufacturing were $11,199,938 against $3,519,877 last year and $2,845,- 338 in 1894; trading were $4,904,362 against $2,852,989 last year and $3,884,- 414 in 1894', while brokers and other com- mercial concerns added $4,827,985 . . st $149,000 last year, and $1,884,718 in 1894. _ The stoppage Of Hiltcn, Hughesdz Co. this week is of course not included in these figures. - . The stoppage of works continues, in- cluding, among other iron concerns, the Illinois Steel plant at Hammond, Ind., and the Lakeside ' Nail works there. Dis- \ ruption of the Tin Plate' association re- sults from inability of many concerns to go on paying wages demanded. and will presumably be.followed by the stoppage of some. Other iron works are getting very light new business, many contracts having been deferred"‘until after the election,” and there is so little doing that quotations are almost nominal. ' ‘ Iron Products. Numerous small contracts for rails, a few bridge contracts fonthe Baltimore and Ohio, a contract for ,150 miles four inch pipe from Indiana oilfields to Chicago and a fair demand for’ platesnand‘ sheets are bright spots, though p ices are extremely burg, but it is said that speculative pur- chases amounting to 100,000 tons of pig have relieved the Chicago market The billet pool in session'at Cresson was ex- pected to change its basis and fix price on open hearth steel. Coke production at Connellsville decreased 10,000 tons last week, further decrease being expected. Anthracite has again been advanced 25 cents Sept. '1. Minor metals are dull; tin 13.35 cents for spot; copper said to be sold lowest open quotation, and lead only 2.65 cents, with small dealings. . Boot a d‘shoe shipments continue large, 348,506 . s_ for the month against 356,- 376 last year and 355,754 _in 1894. New business is scaroeexcept in w ' en‘s grain and buff shoes, though "i'n‘th'a ": anvil and men’s bufl _shOes some works'<__ ve orders for six‘ to: eight weeks. Quick deliveries are urged, but advance in prices deters buying beyond actual needs. Leather is a shade “weaker, and hides again alosenbout 2 per cent '- for. -the.waek.,, .Sales of 'wool, including some-for speculation and some for export, have been in four'Weeks only 9,535,300 pounds against 23,200,400 last year and 29,155,600 in 1892. Actual quo- tations are hard to get, but sales to realize are at bargain prices, and exports of‘dc- mestic and reshipments of foreign are in considerable quantities. No gain is seen in the demand for woolen goods. Cottons show a stronger tone and in a few quali- ties slightly better prices, but the change has been in selling from store without dis- position to order ahead of current wants. The Speculative Markets. Speculation in products caused an ad- 'vance of 1.62 cents in wheat, but by Thurs- day it had been lost, and Friday made the price a quarter lower for the week. Heavy Western receipts continue, low as prices are, amounting for four Weeks to 14,896,- 947 bushels against 10,665,268 last year, but begin to be balanced by gain in ex- ports, which have been for the week 2,074,. 516 bushels, flour included, against 1,373,- 356 last year, and for four weeks 6, 967,176 against 4,268,589 last year. It is known, too, that all freight room has been engaged ahead for more than a month.” Corn has declined until its price, 26.25 cents here and 20.37 at Chicago, is close to the lowest ever known. Crop advices continue most favorable, but western receipts indicate less disposition to sell at current figures. Cotton has reacted sharply from its ad- vance to 8.62 cents, and 8.19 is now quoted with little demand. A large estimate by Neill is said to be forthcoming. Latest re- ports are somewhat more favorable, and the narrovVness of demand with many mills closed has an influence. ' Domestic business shown by clearings is small, for-the week 16 per cent less than last year and 23 per cent less than in 1892. The railroad earnings for the last week re- ported are slightly more favorable than for the second week, and the month’s returns thus far, 2.7 per cent less than last year, are 14.5 per cent less than in 1892. The loss is partly due to cutting of rates at the wast and partly to small westward move ment of goods, but east bound shipments are 158,645 tons against 143,406 last year and 157,262 in 1894. lowing the talk of issuing clearing house certificates, has exceeded the income by $5,000,000, ‘but' since shipments of gold hither began have fallen 011'. Close money must be expected until gold arrives, and ,as much as 15 per cent‘ has been paid on call, with commercial loans few and hard to make. Failures for the week have ,been 288 in the United States against 186 last year and 33 in Ganada against 42 last 1081'.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ‘ 29.—,-,Minister Ter- rell, in a cable dispatch to the department of state, says that the Armenian revolu- tionists who seized the, Ottoman bank at Constantinople announcedthat their pur- pose was to secure reforms, and that un-, less these reforms were granted within three days the bank and initiates would be destroyed by bombs. Several hundred Armenians ware killed that night, and at the time of cabling the minister said that all the houses in the city. were closed. He yided that after negotiations the revolu- tionists in the bank surrendered and were placed on board a steamer to be conveyed to some foreign port, and the employees were released. ' ALL QUIET AT ZANZIBAB. a... Crisis Regarded as Ended—The Status Quo to Be Maintained. . .ZANZIBAR, Aug. 29.—The crisis here is regarded as ended. The new sultan, Ma- moud bin Mohammedbin Said, is expected to follow the peaceful lines of his prede- cessor, and it is understood that Great Britain does not intend to make any change in the existing form of govern- ment. The suggestion that the presence of the suppressed usurper, Said. Khalid, at the German consulate implies a political intrigue is not credited here, and it is ex- pected that Khalid will be handed over to the British officials as soon as the German consul receives the necessary instructions from Berlin. LONDON, Aug. 2.——A dispatch to The Times from Zanzibar says that 200 Indian troops are expected tomorrow from Mom- basa, and that the British forces on the island of Zanzibar will be strongly re-en- forced without loss of time. , The Times, in its editorials. apparently regards the neWS from Zanzibar as indicat- ing that England is resolved to preserve the status quo, and that Lord Salisbury evidently considers that financial and po- litical reasons stand in the way of ~ the an- nexation of Zanzibar. The Times is of the opinion that Lord Salisbury is not certain that France and Germany would readily consent to abandon their rights and con. sular jurisdiction on the island of Zanzi- bar.

A BRIEF TALK AT ,Lookrosr. , Republican National‘Commit'tee’s “sign- ' ment of Speakers—Bryan vandz‘théf New York, Democratijj—chegr Political News Notes. ' 4 NIAGARA FALLS, Aug. 29.-—Mr. and Mrs. Bryan left Buffalo at 8 O’clock to be- gin a two days? campaign among the smaller cities of' northern New York. Tl. ‘I were escorted to a special car'on the Buflalo and Niagara Falls Electric railroad by a party consisting of State Committee- man John _Cunnen, Judge Robert C. Titus of the supreme court, United States'Dis- trict Attorney William ,F. Mackey, Judge Jacob Stern, Norman E. Mack, 0:13." Mat- thews, a prominent oil merchant; A. J. Elias, a Vermont lumber dealer, and Simpson Brown of Lincoln, Neb., a_neigh-_ her of the Bryans who chanced . to be in Buffalo. As the car entered the village _of Tonawanda men ran‘ from shops, stores and fields and followed in“ its wake, some of them coatless and hatless.» The‘troiley car stopped in the center of the town, and Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, standing on the plat: form, shook hands with a typical country crowd. ‘ Mr. Bryan spoke to them briefly, his voice in its huskiness showing the wear and tear of the Week’s work, and when the trolley moved'off it was follotved by three cheers, which somebody proposed, “for the next president.” In his speech Mr. Bryan Said: ' ‘ ‘ ' ‘ “The Chicago platform. while 'it was written and adopted by the Democrats of the west and south, does not raise any sec- tional question. It simply reasserts the Democracy first taught by Thcmas Jeffer- son and ,afterward defended by Andrew Jackson and the Democracy upon which the Democratic party must alwa‘ysstand unless it decides to abandon the principles which have been its principles from the beginning and substitutes the plutocracy that some have called modern Democracy. - “The Chicago platform simply reiter- ates those fundamental principles upon which our form of government‘must rest. The keynote Of the Chicago platform is found in the. Declaration cf IndependenCe, that all men are created equal,‘a'nd that therefore no citizens have the right to 'ap- propriate to themselves the blessings that the Creator intended for all the people of thiscountry. Laws ,shOuld not be made so that themany‘will toil and ' the few enjoy the fruits of the toil of the many. That platform ‘means that every man shall be defended in ' the enjoyment of that which he earns,_but that no man shall be permit- ted-to enjoy what somebody'else has earned and which is ‘taken from him by vicious legislation. The reason they use abusive epithets and apply hard names to those whO'su'ppOrt that platform is, because they know that the platform is a menace to _the Wrongdcer, not the smaller” Lwrongd’oer o'nly,‘.but" also to” the larger, ,‘transgreSSOr who; attempts tofuse the government as an instl-umentto' wrong others. . f,’ ' "“I (it) think itis going to require a great deal of talk in this campaign.__ We are not going to have any difficulty to find Speak- ers Vic can’go out into any Of the “totes, the machine “shops, the funds or '5, the men who'wcrk' along the road andjfind th’ere _men, Who“ knowenough about the principles of 'this government'to be this to discuss these‘QuSStiOns and apply them to themselves. ~The great common‘ perple do not need any particular class to"'tell them what they shall do. Theycan think for themselves. And I trust that when November_'ccmes they will act' for them- selves. "’ ' Mr. Bryan’s Views of New York; NIAGARA FALLS, Aug. 29.—Mr. Bryan today gave to the press a statement of his views concerning the party outlook in the state of New York. ’ Coming after his re- cent visits to Senator Hill, State Chair- man Hinkley and minor party men in the largest cities of the state, the statement, may be considered significant. Mr. Bryan said: “I am more than gratified with the demonstration of last evening. It far sur- passed anything which I had expected. I am also pleased to find so unanimousia sentiment in favor of the indorsement of the action of the Chicago convention. From what I have seen in New York and from the sentiments expressed by mem- bers of the state organization I am Satis- fied that the-state convention will indorso the platform as well as the ticket. Some of the‘Democrats may'cppose parts of the platform, but it is the national platform and will be accepted as a whole.” ' .. McKinley’s Busy Day. CANTON, 0., Aug. 29.—Tomorrow prom- ises to be one of the busiest days yet for Mr. McKinley. Five delegations are sched- uled to arrive here during the day.
