Bulusguluua. The Employment of More ,Men Will Extend Purchasing Power. MONETARY TROUBLES GONE. Banks Are Now Anxiously Looking For Borrowers For Surplus Money—Wheat In Its High Mounting Act Again. The Failures of the \Veek. NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-‘—R. G. Dun & Co. ’s weekly review of trade says: 2 When the rush of orders after the elec- tion slackened, many began to think busi- ness dwindling. From one town in Illi- nois, not by many the most -. populous, 56 trainloads of manufactured goods went out the day after election. But subsidence of such deferred orders is not decrease of business. Disappointment is observed in the iron and steel industry, because vari- ous combinations have been and are still retarding orders by prices which buyers be- lieve cannot be maintained, and the same istrue in boots and shoes and in a few branches of textile goods. But business in on the whole enlarging, and the employ- ment of many more hands will extend pur- chasing power. The settlement of the win- dow glass controversy, starting many thou- sand hands, and the collapse of some im- portant iron combinations with the same effect, give promise of more buisness. Broadly speaking, the gain has been great- er than anybody expected, and it is not surprising .if a small part of it is in excess .of the present consuming demand. . Reports from all parts at t1?! country show clearly the enlargement of trade, not at all points in the same branches, but ev- erywhere helped by a more confident feel— ing. Extremes of weather have made the week not altogether good for retail trade, but in that line also there is improvement on the whole. Monetary difficulties have vanished as if by magic, and banks with' an uncomfortably large supply of idle mon- ey are hunting borrowers, as the borrowers were recently hunting lenders. The buyers of sterling exchange here, who are sup- posed to hold $10,000,000 or more with the expectation that it must be stronger after the beginning of the new year, are in fact speculating against themselves, because their temporary loans are helping Ameri~ can exports and American manufacturers. Enormous gains in bank deposits, $37,- 000,000 in two weeks, indicate something of the amount of funds recently hoarded. \Vheat’s Big Rise. Wheat has risen over 5 cents for the Week, without material change in foreign advices, which have been, on the whole, less stimulating. Western receipts are fall- ing behind last year’s, and for four weeks past have been only 19,012,584 bushels against 27,902,512 last year, while the At- lantic exports, flour included, have been 6,270,981 bushels in the same week against 6, 265, 018 last year and are not large enough to create excitement. But 13 cargoes have left Tacoma in November, and 30 have left San Francisco, with 12 more loading and 40 engaged. The milling demand in the Atlantic states is also large, and at four western cities the output of , flour in five weeks has been 2,655,415 barrels against 2,613,300 in the same weeks last year. Corp has sympathized with wheat only a little and 1s coming forward freely. The most important factor in the wheat market is that the visible supplies do not gain as much as has been expected. Cotton has remained unchanged, after its considerable decline, and the remark- ably heavy movement puts the speculators for an advance in constant difficulties, and yet there is all the time to be remembered the fact that the crop was nearly a month earlier than usual, and the present excess over last year’s movement may be materi- ally reduced hereafter. Nevertheless the fact appears that northern mills are taking much less cotton than in previous years, and the demand for goods is evidently dis- appointing. It cannot be said that prices in this department . are the hindrance, for even with some recent reduction in quota- tions the sales of staple cottons are com- paratively small. The “’001 Market. Wool was and is still bought largely for speculation, and earlier purchasers are un- - loading on the later, but the mills are not yet doing much more than in October. A few more have been started, but there is scarcely more demand apparent for staple ' goods. Including speculative operations, the sales of wool have been for four weeks 37,814,100 pounds, of which 26,212,000 were domestic, against 24, 296,050 last year, of which 13,381,750 were domestic and 24,- 371,821 in 1893, of which 21,639,196 were domestic. But the producing capacity in operation does not seem to be half the ca- pacity of the works, and the stoppage of several large carpet mills within the past ten'days is of importance. The boot and shoe industry is still hindered by the gen- eral refusal of dealers to pay the advanced prices demanded by manufacturers, except for the limited quantities which are imme— diately required. The collapse of the nail combination, and probably of the beam combination, and considerable reduction in quotations for nails and beams, give reason to look for a larger demand for products of iron and steel, but at present the sales against speculative purchases made some time ago . are depresIsing\prices, and bessemer pig has sold at $12.25, and, according to some reports, a little lower at Pittsburg. The demand for such products as are not con- trolled by the combinations is somewhat increasing, but by no means as rapidly as expected. In minor metals tin is scarcely as strong as it was a week ago, but copper and lead are stronger. ‘ Failures for the week have been 300 in the United States, against 279 last year, and 38 in Canada, against 47 last year. Dutton’s Trial Resumed. NEW YORK, Nev. 28.——The trial of Ste- phen A. Dutton was resumed today.

As one of the results the British second class cruiser Pique has gone to the Philippine islands. Chaotic Madagascar. PARIS, Nov. 28.—Dispatches received here from Antananarivo, dated Nov. 13, say that the rebellion in the island of Mad- agascar is rampant, though the vicinity of the capital is quieter.

PAUL, Nov. 28.-Reports received here from Winnipeg say ' that the worst blizzard in years is now raging throughout the Canadian province. At Winnipeg snowdrifts eight to ten feet high are com- mon. The wind is blowing at the rate of 50 miles an hour. Telephone and tele- graph wires are down, and railroad traffic is seriously delayed. ABERDEEN, S. D., Nov. 27.——The worst snow and wind storm in years has raged all over this region for the past 12 hours. Should it continue another 12 hours the losses on cattle ranges will be heavy. - CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Nov. 27.—The storm which commenced on Tuesday with sleet has developed into a serious blizzard. A strong northwest wind is blowing, caus- ing the snow to drift badly. Uneasiness prevails as to the effect on stock on the range west of the Missouri river. The thermometer registers a little above zero. ASHLAND, Wis, Nov.' 27.-—The steam- boat Ericsson and the schooner Corliss of the Rockefeller fleet, which cleared on Wednesday night, returned to the harbor today after a vain battle with the terrific gale which prevailed on Lake Superior all day. The steamboat and her consort were unable to make any headway against the sea and were finally compelled to run for shelter to save themselves. The steamboat Cumberland left a short time before the Ericsson. She has not yet returned. The captain of the Ericsson says he saw the Cumberland endeavor to turn back, but she could not do so. He is certain the Cumberland Was not able‘ to breast the gale and fears she has gone ashore on one of the islands at the entrance to Chequam< egon bay. The storm is from the north!E east, and nothing like it has been seen this season. It shows no signs of abating. PORTLAND, On, Nov. 27,—The ther- mometer registered 21 degrees above zero today, which is one degree colder than it has been in Portland for 24 years on or be- fore this date. In eastern Oregon the Weather is also very cold. JOHN BULL AND UNOLB SAM. Consul Parker on the Present Closeness of the Ties of Trade and Kindred. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—George F. Par- ker, United States consul at Birmingham, while on his way to Nebraska to visit his aged father, remained in Washington long . enough to pay his respects to the president and see a few other friends. This is his first visit to America. since his appoint- ment to Birmingham. From across the sea, however, he has kept closely4 in touch with home affairs. “Never since I have been abroad,” said he, in conversation with a friend, “has any question affecting matters outside of England awakened there so lively an in- terest as our recent presidential campaign. Singularly enough, many British manu- ' facturers held American orders contingent upon McKinley’s election, and so the morning of the 4th of November witnessed the turning of additional mill wheels in the old country as well as here. “ The feeling in England toward the United States is very much misunderstood. I never haye heard aword there indicating unfriendliness for us. Arbitration senti- ment is very strong, and, while the peace societies may be less in vogue than former- ly, the great idea back of them is much stronger now than ever before. There was never any serious belief in England that we should have trouble over the Venezuela question, and I believe the feeling of friend- liness has been intensified by the final out- come, because the agitation has aroused in the British midd a real sense of the close- ness of kindred which exists between the mother country and the United States.” Duke of Brunswick's Estate. PARIS, Nov. 28.—-MM. de Civry have been nonsuited before the Seine tribu- nal in their action against the Geneva municipal authorities, to whom the Duke Of Brunswick left all his property. The court decided that it could not set aside the Duke of Brunswick’s will because MM. de Civry had failed to prove, as they tried to do, that their mother was the Duke of Brunswick’s recognized natural daughter. Deportation of Tom Mann. HAMBURG, va. 28.—The report circu- lated in London last night and subse- quently denied that Tom Mann, the well known English labor leader and prime mover in the proposed universal dockers’ strike, had bequ arrested is confirmed to— day. Mann was taken into custody at Eimsbruettel, charged with inciting to create disorder, and placed on board a steamer fcc England. Thinks Peace a. DelusiOn. _ LONDON, Nov. 28.——A Berlin dispatch says: “Signor Crispi, the former. Italian premier, in an autograph letter to a char- ity bazaar, declares that it is a delusion to suppose that Europe is in favor of peace. ‘The ambitious and revengeful powers,’ says Signor Crispi, ‘are only waiting until success is assured to plunge Europe into war.’ ” Dishonest Army Contractors. OTTAWA, Nov. 28.—A scandal is being investigated in the militia department. It has been discovered that blankets supplied to the militia were made half of wool and half shoddy when the contract called for their being all wool. It is said that there was collusion between the department and the contractors. Pope Will Not Sanction It. MONTREAL, Nov. 28.-—J. P.

SHE HAD FAITH IN CATALDO. The Rory of the Wrongs Which Led Her to Kill Her Italian Lover—She Had Only Requested That He Should Make Her His Wife. NEW YORK, Nov. 28. —Maria Barberi went on the witness standlefigday to be cross examined by Assistant istrict At— torney McIntyre. The young woman had braced herself for this ordeal. She Walked to the stand with a steady step, and seem- ed to be composed as she began'to answer the questions of the prosecutor. Mr. McIntyre made the cross examina- tion as easy as possible for the girl. He spoke to her kindly and encouragingly. First‘he asked her about how she learned English. She told him that at the last trial she could speak only Italian, but that her friends at Sing Sing had taught her to speak English. The assistant district at— torney then questioned her about her rela- tions with Cataldo and had her repeat much of her testimony of Wednesday. Concerning her allegation that Cataldo took her to a saloon in Chrystie street‘and there gave her a drug the prosecutor in- quired closely. . “You testified that when you were in the saloon you drank some soda; Cataldo had some stuff in a glass. and after he had drunk half of it poured it into your glass; you took it and became‘sick. Is that true?” he asked. i l Yes. H “You testified at your last trial that Cataldo tried to take you into a house in Baxter street where there was an Italian woman and you were afraid to go in. How long was that before he took you to the Chrystie street saloon?” “A long time.” “ Then you were afraid of Cataldo a long time before he took you to the Chrystie street saloon? Why did you go with Ca- taldo after that?” The girl made an answer that was un- intelligible, and Mr. McIntyre asked her if she would not rather speak through an in- terpreter. She replied that she preferred English. Lawyer House declared that it was only fair that both examination and cross ex~ amination should be in English. “Have you not been told what you ought to testify to?” 4 5 No. l , “Do you remember talking to Police- man O’Rourke in the station house?” “Yes, but it seems just like a dream.” Bad Faith In Cataldo. “Before you went to live with him in Thirteenth street did he tell you he would give you half the money he had in the savings bank?” “No; we never spoke about money ex- cept once. I asked him to marry me, and he said he would give me money. I said: ‘I don’t want money. I want you to mar- ry me and make me good.’ ” “Why did you not refuse to go and live with Cataldo before he married you?” “He said he would marry me if I lived with him.” ' The girl became restless a little as Mr. McIntyre asked her about events that oc- curred about the time of Cataldo’s death. The mention of the razor made her cry a little, but in a few moments she recovered her composure. , “At the last trial did you not say this razor was Cataldo’s?” asked Mr. McIn- tyre. “Yes, but I did not know whether it was or not.” “Is it true that you did not tell the truth at the last trial?” “I don’t know what I said. I just wanted to get out of the chair, I felt so sick. I might have said anything. I do not tell lies ever. ’-’ Mr. McIntyre read the girl’s testimony at the last trial concerning the incident in the Chrystie street saloon. She then told the.story exactly as at the present trial, ex- cept that she did not say that she became dizzy and ill after drinking, and they went to a house just adjoining the saloon. The prosecutor wanted to know if the defend- ant rcmembered giving the story in that manner, and Mr. House objected vigor- ously on the ground that the question was incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial. Justice Gilderslceve overruled the objec- tion. “I don’t remember,” was the reply of the witness. The Oregon 3 Success. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28.—The battle- ship Oregon has returned from a short cruise undertaken to give a board of in- spection an opportunity of looking her well over.
