.——4——

NEW YORK, Sept 26.—Dan’s trade re-
view says:

A very moderate and yet distinct im
provement is seen, no longer only in the
buying of materials, which continues and
stiflens prices, but also in orders for prod-
nets of some industries, in money mar-
kets and in exports of staples. It is as yet
little more than a step toward better
things, but has already started some im-
portant works and prompted a few consid-

goid, about $28,600, 000 since the move-
ment began, have raised the treasury re-
serve above 3125, 000, 000, strengthened the
banks and relaxed the stringency in com-
mercial loans, so that at about 1 per cent

in three previous weeks. Hoarding is no
longer reported, but some boards are be
ing unlocked. The movement of crops con-
tinues large, and purchases for export
have advanced prices or prevented depres-
sion. _

Advance In Produce Markets.

An important change is the general ad-
vance in produce markets,'especially in
wheat, which rose 4% cents‘at one time
Thursday and closed 5/ higher for the
week, with much buying, apparently on
foreign account. Reports of crops abroad
were supposed to be the chief cause, as
visible supplies in this country increased

western receipts fell below those of ,the
same week last year. They are still large,
and for. the first quarter of the crop year
thus far have been 52, 721,158 bushels
against 40, 414, 351 last year, a gain of about
30 per cent. Atlantic exports, flour in-
cluded, were for the week a little ore
than a year ago, for September 2,0 0,000
bushels more and 21,807,553 bushels since
July 1 against 14,128,308 last year. If
there should come an unusual foreign de-
mand, it would make a great difference
with future business.
Cotton and Wool.

Cotton advanced an eighth a week ago,
but fell back a sixteenth, and with full re-
ceipts might have gone farther but for re-
sumption of work by several important
mills. Much less than the full capacity,
of mills is working, and the demand for
goods has been quite slack, with a decline
of a sixteenth in print cloths, but in other
goods recent advances are maintained.
Speculative buying of wool does not abate,
sales for four weeks having been 24, 844,-
400 pounds against 23,758,970 last year
and 31,021,000 in 1892, but no gain in
prices results. A few of the woolen mills
are resuming, the belated ' demand for
heavy goods constituting most of the gain
visible, but manufacturers show confi-

when the future is more clear. ~
Iron and Steel.

Finished products of iron meet more
inquiry, and the placing of contracts for
15,000 tons of steel for three new battle-
ships, for one large building here and for
several bridges explains the starting of two
or three works, but after such months as
have passed a little business is a gain. A
sharp fall of $2 per ton in low, phosphorous
pig and a slight rise in grey forge at Pitts-
burg and in steel plates are the only
changes noted in prices, but billets are
still sold by outsiders at $19. 50, bar steel
at $1.05 and furnace coke below $2, with
an output of only 50,177 tons weekly at
Connellsville, though all the combinations
maintain their prices. Exports of 50,000
tons of rails this year at prices far below
those current here and 25,000 tons of pix;
to England at $8. 93 at Manchester, freight
being at least $3.15, indicate unloading a
surplus abroad to avoid weakening mar-
kets here. Tin plates are slightly lowered
by home competition to $3. 55 against
$3.90 for foreign, and tin is a shade weaker
at 13 cents, copper at $10. 75 and lead at
$2.80.

There is no change in the boot and shoe
manufacture, spring orders being held
back to a great extent because of the ad-
vance in prices asked, but filling in orders
for immediate needs keep part of the shops
busy. Completion of old orders resulted in
shipments during four weeks past 2.7 per
cent larger than in 1894 and 6 per cent
larger than in 1892. Leather is a shade
higher for some grades, and hides are still
lifted a little at Chicago by large pur-
chases.

Speculation Shows Increased Confidence.

Speculation in stocks shows increased
confidence, and the average of prices for
railway shares has advanced $1.03 per
share‘and of trust shares $1.17 per share.
It is notvpresent business, but faith in the
future, which gives strength, for earnings
in September thus far have been 3.3 per
cent below last year’s and 11.5 below those
of 1892. The tonnage east bound continues
large, nearly 3 per cent larger than in
1892. and the decrease in earnings is due
partly to lower rates and partly to narrow
west bound movement. The hesitation in
business has been very real, and there is
not yet time for recovery to show itself in
shipments or payments. Foreign trade is
also small.

Failures have been large, liabilities in
three weeks of September $18, 019, 232
against $6, 633, 990 last year. Failures for
the week have been 315 in the United
States against 216 last year and 32 in
Canada against 50 last year.

Four Murderers Hanged.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. 11., Sept. 26. —Dio—
nicio Saldoval. who shot and killed Vic-

port, bound for Queenstown, with their
holds full of California grain, and'the
masters of all four sailing vessels had sail-
ing instructions to rush their. cargoes
through.

Gladstone‘s Strong Speech Wired to
Europe’s Sick Man. »

GERMANY AND “Tue ‘TURK.

Alleged Attitude of the Emperor William.
Reports That Over 1,000 Armenians
Were Slain' In the Recent Mas-
snore—English Press Opinions.

I

LONDON, Sept. 26. —The Turkish em-
bassy here has telegraphed Mr. Gladetone’ a
speech, delivered at Liverpool, verbatim
to the ports. The Times says of the speech
in an editorial: “The spectacle of the vet-
eran statesman quitting his retirement to
plead the cause of the oppressed is well
calculated to move the sympathy and ad-
miration of the nation. The ardor of Mr.
Gladstone’ s feelings on this subject is
notorious. All the more striking and sig-
nificant are the comparative restraint and
moderation of the speech. We cannot ap-
prove of his advice for a rupture of diplo-
matic relations, which would leave the
sultan free for further vengeance on the
Armenians,w while to threaten coercion
while shrinking from war seems both a
dangerous and a cowardly policy. ”

Salisbury's Great Responsibility.

The editorials in the morning papers
on Mr. Gladstone's speech are rather col-
orless. The Liberal organs lavish praise
upon it, while the Conservative papers
follow The Times’ line of criticism. The
Standard (Conservative) says: “Never a
greater responsibility rested upon a states-
man than that upon Lord Salisbury. Hap-
pily Mr. Gladstone appears to share that
conviction. ’ ’

A dispatch to The Times from Berlin
says that well known Armenian, Profess-
ar Thoumaian, was advertised to address
a meeting there to protest against the Ar-
menian outrages, but the police warned

,. him to desist from the agitation on pain

of expulsion from Germany.

The Berlin correspondent of The Chron-
icle reports that the Frankfurter Zeitung
asserts that ten days after the massacre at
Constantinople the German embassador
presented to the sultan, in the name of
Emperor William, a large photograph of
the German imperial family. The gift
was received as a special mark of friend-
ship. The incident, adds The Zeitung,
was much commented upon.

One Thousand Were Killed.

The correspondent of The Chronicle at
Paris says that it is stated that the Ar-
menian ex-patriarch Izmlrlian is confined
in the same citadel in which Midhat Pasha
died.

A Vienna dispatch to The Chronicle as-
serts that the dreibund has arrived at a
full agreement on the eastern question be-
fore spnding their 5 adrons to the east.

This Vienna distch also alleges that;
according to advices from Constantinople,
the sultan is alarmed for his life and wears
a mail shirt in fear of an assassin. . .

A dispatch from Constantinople states
that 1,000 Armenians were killed during
the recent massacre at Egin, in the Khar-
put district, and it is reported that 100
Armenians have been killed at Divrig, in
the same vilayet.

Ian Macias-en Talks.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26. -——The Rev. John
Watson, who is better known in America
as Ian Maclaren, the author of “Beside
the Bonnie Brier Bush, ” arrived in this
city on the steamship Germanic. Dr.
Watson is a tall, genial Scotchman, with
a decidedl clerical cut and get up, except.
for his ta shoes. ”I came over here on
a lecture tour,” he said, “and I will be
here until December. Today I am to go
right to New Haven, where I will be two
weeks delivering at the Yale Theological
seminary some lectures on theology.
These Yale lectures were really the cause
of my trip to this country. No American
church ever called me, but had any one
done so ,I would have esteemed it an honor.
I admire your country very much and
have a great many friends here.”

The Temple Cup Series.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 26.—According to
Captain Tebeau, the Temple cup series
will begin in Baltimore the last three days
of next week. “Baltimore wants the first
crack at us on their grounds,” said Te-
beau, “and I am so confident of winning
the cup again that I am willing that the
arrangements should be so made. I will
suggest that the next three games, if
Cleveland does win before six: are played,
be on the Cleveland grounds on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of the following
week. One extra game will be played if
each team 'wins three out of. the first six.
The decisive game will be on neutral
grounds, and my vote will be in favor of
New York.” .

Death In a Mine.

Por'rserLE, Pa.. Sept. 26.—An explo-
sion of gas occurred in the Philadelphia
and Reading company’s Middle Creek col~
liery, near Tremont. Five men wore
burned and otherwise hurt, two of them——
Jasper Newton, Sr., and his son-in-law,
John Sogrove—so badly that they died.
The ' others—Charles S. Hofistall and
James N orton—were so badly burned that
their death is momentarily expected. Ed-
ward Dunmoyer of Tremont has a - frac-
tured arm and collar bone.

Gold Still‘Comlng.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—The Hamburg-
American line steamship Normannia.
from Hamburg via Southampton and
Cherbourg, brought S3, 227, 575 in gold
coin. Messrs. Lazard Freres, the bankers,
announced an importation of gold to the
amount of $2,100,000 by the steamshlps
sailing from France this week. The total
amount of gold imported by this firm is
now $16, 350, 000.

Gold From Australia.

SAN anxcrsco, ‘Sept. 26.—The steamer
Mariposa brought 85 boxes of English sov-
areigns valued at $2, 125,000.

‘gold will be recoined into American $20
goldpieces. Great quantities of wheat
have been shipped from here to Australia,
and in consequence the balance of trade
has been greatly against that country;
hence the shipments of gold to San Fran-
cisco.

A Cyclist Killed.
ALLENTOWN, Pa., Sept. 26.—A trolley
carat noon struck and instantly killed
Gottlieb Price, a tanner of Easton, Pa.,
who rcde'to Allentown on his bicycle to
visit the fair. Price leaves a widow and

five childrea .

The Dervish Defenses Were Strong, but
' the Defenders Lacked Nerve.

DONGOLA, Sept. 26.—~An, inspection or
the dervlshdefenses at this place shows
that they were constructed with great
skill; thatthe positions were'well chosen,
and that if they had been held by resolute
men they would have caused an immense
amount of trouble and loss to the Anglo-
Egyptian expedition. About 900 dervish
prisoners were captured, besides a large
quantity of arms of all kinds, great quan-

 

 

tities of dates and grain and large supplies-

of sheep and cattle.

The honors of the fighting fell to the
gunboats and the artillery, whose shells
reached the healing enemy far out. in the
desert. Deserters from the dervish forces
continue to arrive here and are anxious to
serve under the Egyptian flag. - ‘

The work of perfecting the chain of de-
pots and forts connecting this- place with
Wady-Halfa is being pushed with energy,
and from here Work on the ,railroad em-
bankment begins, so- as to join the line
being pushed southward as rapidly as pos-
sible. All the troops are in excellent
health and spirits, and the provisions cap-
tured have considerably strengthened the
position of the sirdar.

No announcement has been made as to
the course of the expedition in the future,
everybody being busily occupied in the
work of establishing advance posts, clear-
ing away, the dismantled fortificatiOns
preparatory to reconstructing a number of
them on a larger and more important
scale, landing and storing ammunition
and supplies and constructing camps for
a possible stay of some length.

TO FIGHT r011 TYNAN.

Evidence That the Government Will 0p-
pose His Extradition to England.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—That the United
States government intends fightin’g the
extradition of P. P. J. Tynan, the so
called “No.1,” now under,a1rest in Paris
on the charge of conspiring to commit
dynamite outrages, is evident from a let-
ter received from the American legation
in Paris

The letter was sent to the district attor-
ney’ s oflice asking that copies of Tynan’ s
naturalization papers be at once sent over.
Assistant District Attorney Lindsay sent
the request to the county clerk’s office,
and the records of the naturalization bu-
reau were searched. Tynan, it was discov-
ered, had been naturalized in 1888. Copies
of the document were at once forwarded to

‘Paris, as was also the certificate of natu-

ralization of John F. Kearney, another al-
leged dynamiter, who is under arrest at
Antwerp on the same charge.

James F. Egan, the delegate from the
Amnesty Association of Great Britain, has
received a draft for $500 from that organi-
zation to be handed over to the family Of
John Murphy.

Forger Denizot Sentenced.

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, N. J., Sept.

ley Warner made famous in his novel
“Our Pilgrimage,” pleaded guilty of for-
gory and was sentenced by Judge Douglass
to six months in the county prison and to

years of age, and as this was his first of-
fense the judge took both facts into * con-
sideration and was lenient with him.

Earthquake In Hawaii.

HONOLULU, Sept. 17, via San Francisco,
Sept. 26.—A severe earthquake shock was
experienced at Hilo at 5 a. in. Sept. 13. In
the center of the town a crack opened from
the sea half a mile inland and remained
an inch in width. The houses, all being of
wood, were uninjured. N 0 such shock had

his earnings. Braun arose early and took
a bottle of cyanide of potassium. He died
in great agony.
