NEW YORK, Doc. 19. ——R. G. Dun & Co. ’s
weekly review ’Of trade says:
Cuban reports, unusual closeness of
money in Germany and the decision that
there will be no action on the tariff at this
session have not really changed the 'situa-
tion, but have been talked about as if they
might change it. A sudden demand for
gold from Germany just before the close of
the year is not unusual, nor does it count
for much. N 0 facts, but only desires 'or
fears, have led some to look for a change
of tariff before March, and considerable
speculation based on that idea has been
arrested, but other business waits for the
gradual improvement of the consuming
demand. The holiday trade is generally
large, though at some points more con-
fined to cheap goods than usual, and the
influence of an increase in the working
force is felt in other ways. But until the
new year the only material changes ex-
pected are such asprcparc for a large busi-
ness next year, In the iron and steel in-
dustry these appear of the utmost impor-
‘pnce. '
Since events for some months to come
will turn largely on the state of foreign
trade, it is cheering that produce exports
in November were $109,091,937 in value,
amounting for three months to $307,749,-
577, more than double the value of im-
ports, which was $151,361,35l.. The enor-
mous excess, which has brought hither in
three months net imp/Orts of gold amount-
ing to $68,640,143, besides establishing
credits of many millions in London which
virtually pay in advance for future im-
ports, has not prevented, it is believed, a
special shipment of. gold to Germany next
week, for which the German bank pays a
premium to meet demands J an. 1 sup-
posed to be on Russian account. Lon‘don
effects the shipment by borrowing more
millions here, so that the amount of such
sterling advances is .now reckoned at 835,-
000,000. More of such borrowing may
cause advance in the rate of interest, real-
izing on exchange drafts, of which many
become due before or shortly after Jan. 1,
and a sharper demand on London than
may be convenient. But, with $2 worth
of produce going out for every $1 worth of
goods brought in, nothing of an ordinary
nature can cause gold exports of conse-
quence. In two weeks of December ex-
ports from New York have been 6 per cent
larger and imports here 12 per cent smaller
than last year.
Cotton’s Decline.
Exports of cotton are naturally stimu-
lated by lower prices, and with forced
liquidation Of important speculative opera
tions cotton has declined to 7.12, recover-
ing to 7.19 cents. July 15 the price was
7.06, short crop stories raised it to 8.87
Sept. 10, and it has now gone back about
to the starting point. Receipts from plan-
tations continue heavy, while commercial
stocks here and abroad are only about as
large as a yearago, when the movement
had been 17100,000 bales less. The demand
for goods in this countr'yfalls below the in-
creased production, and the market is weak
in 'tone, with prices of some jobbers’
bleached goods sharply reduced. Specula-
tion in wool has halted, sales for the week
being 3,721,200 pounds against 5,180,000
last year and 5,651,400 in 1892, and con-
cessions are more frequent, Ohio XX sell-
ing at 19 against 20 cents recently. The
demand for goods seems to have been post-
poned until after the holidays.
The control of the, Mountain Iron Mes-
sabi mine has been leased for 50 years or
purchased by the Carnegie. interest from
Mr. J. D. Rockefeller, the ore to his ship-
ped by his new steamship line on the lakes
and by the new railway which the Car-
negie company is building to Lake Erie.
This, with the erection of 16 new open
hearth furnaces, making 36, insures enor-
mous increase of product at extremely low
cost and will affect all combinations in
steel products or in ore. The billet pool
has practically dissolved, and sales are re-
ported at $16 to $17, with contracts to sup-
ply consumers through most or the whole
of next year.
and steel bars are a shade lower. The Rail
association has been in session, and our
Philadelphia dispatch states that rails are
sold at 325 against $28 so long maintain-
ed. Bessemer pig and gray forge are a.
shade lower at Pittsburg, Virginia and
Alabama iron are offered, 25 cents lower at
the east, and, with so much uncertainty
regarding great changes in progress, very
little is done in finished products and gen-
erally at concessions. A sale of 3,000,000
pounds Lake copper is reported at 11%
cents. Coke production is increasing with
contracts reported at $1.50. The boot and
shoe industry is near the end of orders, re—
ceiving scarcely any at advances asked,
but eastern shipments are slightly larger
than in previous years.
Brendstufl's. Etc.
Wheat rose about 2 cents Monday, but
declined nearly as much, closing one—quar-
ter. cent higher for the week. The receipts _
in two weeks have been 6,625,382 bushels
against -11,600,587 last year, and Atlantic
exports for three weeks have been, flour
included, 6,921,144 bushels against 5,907,-
824 last year. November exports, flour
included, were 15,835,136 bushels against
11,332,140 last year, of which Pacific were
5,818; 149 against 4,405,301 last year. For
three months exports of cotton and bread-
stufl‘s only have about equaled the total
value of 'all imports.
Stocks have been week, with earnings
in December thus far 5. 8 per cent less than
last year and 13 less than in 1892, Chicago
cast bound tonnage being only 130,523
against 156,162 last year. Speculation is
constantly affected by alarms about Spain
or Cuba or gold. But the' public is {lot
doing much in stocks, and the accumula-
tion of money is largely controlled by
those expecting to use it in manufacture
or trade. The rate for commercial loans
is higher, about 4 per cent against 3% in
recent weeks, and net receipts from the
interior have been $1.750,000 this week.
Business, reflected by exchanges is 9 per
cent. less than last year and 29 less than
in 1892. Failures in two weeks ending
Dec. 10 were $7,826,083 against $6,510,451
last year, $6,840,401 in 1894 and 311,679,-

' 017‘against $2,124,564 last year, and trad-
ing were $4,736,736 against $4,275,637 last
year. Failures for the week have been 387
in the United States against 377 last year

The Rev. Donald MacLeod, D. D., pas-
tor of St. Columbia, officiated. ‘
Mrs. Drayton was, before her marriage
to J. Coleman Drayton, Miss Augusta
Astor, third daughter of William Astor.
In 1879 she married .T. Coleman Dray-
ton, a wealthy Philadelphian.
The couple lived apparently happily for
over ten years and had several children.
The Draytons met at their summer
home, Bernardsville, N. J., Hailett Alsop
Borrowe, a Columbia student.
The young man frequently visited the
Drayton home, and unpleasant rumors
arose. '
Mr. Drayton to break up the friendship
between his wife and young Borrowe took
his family to Europe.
Borrowe followed, there were repetitions
of the American scandal, and Drayton at
length challenged Borrowe to a duel in
March, 1892.
The affair was arbitrated, and Borrowe’s
friends decided that Drayton had played
the part of a “complacent husband,” and
was therefore not entitled to‘satisfaction.
William Astor, dying about this time,
showed his disapprobation of his daugh-
ter’s behavior by leaving her nothing,
$850, 000 being divided among her children.
Young John Jacob Astor sided with his
sister, however, and promptly settled 81,-
000,000 upon her.
Drayton sued for divorce in 1894, and
his wife filed papers for a counter suit.
Mrs. Drayton sued on grounds of de-
sertion and won her case, her husband let-
ting it go by default._

LARGE FIRE LOSSES.
The Big Casino Ice Skating Rink at Pitts-
burg Burned.
PITTSBURG, Dec. 18.—The Casino ice
skating rink and summer theater in Schen-
1ey park was burned today? The loss will
approximate $500,000, and the insurance is
small. The fire was caused by the explo-
sion of an ammonia cylinder in the ice
skating plant. The gases which filled the
interior prevented the firemen from enter-
ing the Casino, and it was not long until
the flames reached the whole interior and
soon burst from the roof in many places.
By 4 o’clock the whole structure was burn-
ing. Hundreds of people soon assembled
in the vicinity and gazed on the spectacle.
Just before 5 o’clock the Schenley park
bridge caught fire and burned rapidly, but
the firemen by strenuous efforts succeeded
in saving it from total destruction.
Fire Started by an Explosion.
DETROIT, Dec. 18. —At an early hour an
explosion occurred at the Detroit medicine
factory and immediately following flames
broke from the third story windows. Less
than two hours later the ‘building was a.
mass of ruins. The loss on the building
will reache$75,000; partially insured. Be-
sides the building itself, valuable instru-
ments, microscopes, etc., were destroyed.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 18.—Joseph

burned, together with the building next to
it, owned by the Krech estate, The Times,
and Samuel Rosenfield’s store. The fire
was checked by the fire wall of John Hurst

the block. Total loses are about $75,000.

Anyone who under-

knows the need of
- . - acounter—balance to
equalize power and keep the. machinery
going with a steady even motion. \Vith-
out it the machinery would wrench itself
out of shape. It is the same way with the
' machinery of the human-body: it needs
to go on steadily and regularly to be in
good health—not by fits and starts. The
sudden wrenchin medicines which peo-
ple sometimeslta e to overcome consti=
pation, give a violent strain to the intes-
tines which weakens them, so that the
costiveness is afterwards worse than be-
fore. ,.
What costive people need is a natural
laxative like Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets
which are powerful without bein vio-
lent. They move the bcwels gra ually
and comfortably but surely. You can
regulate the dose—one, two or three
“ Pellets”—exactly as you need. They
strengthen the intestines to do their own
Work, so that after their movements have
become regular theykeep on naturally
of themselves. .
The “ Pleasant Pellets ” gently stimu-
late and invigorate the liver to throw off
biliOusuess; and tone up the stomach to
secrete the digestive juices, and over-
come dyspepsia. The entire digestive,
or alimentary, tract is put in motion in
the re lar steady way of nature and
health. This is what makes the “ Pleas- '
ant Pellets” so immensely superior to
the numerous purging pills which wrench
and weaken the system. Druggists may
get more profit out of those other pills
but you don’t. .

gm. GRANT HAD A MAJORITY or
234 OVER THE TRIBUNE EDITOR.
Mr. Greeley Had the Nomination of Two
’ Parties, but He Carried Only Six States
éMaryianrl, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-
' snnri, Texas and Georgia.
In many of its details there is a sin-
litical campaign and the Presidential
contest of 1872 between Horace Gree-
ley, the editor, and Gen. Grant, the
soldier. Mr. Greeley, with many oth-
er leading Republicans, argued that
the only method by which Grant could
be defeated for a second term, which
he sought, and perhaps a third term
afterward, was to nominate an inde-
pendent Republican ticket and ask the
Democracy to endorse it. As a result
National Convention met at Cincinnati
form of glittering generalities, on
which anybody could conscientiously
stand. At the outset there had been a
general disposition to nomina‘e Charles
Francis Adams as the most available
Presidential candidate to hold together
the heterogeneous elements Opposed to
Gra ism. But. through some unseen
causes, Horace Greeley was chosen on
the sixth ballot by a vote of 482 to 187
for Adams. Then B. Gratz Brown of
Missouri {was nominated for Vice-
_ President.
The nomination of Greeley twenty-
four years .ago was greeted with a
furor of general approval. In some of
its aspects it was dramatically proper.
It carried consternation into the ranks
of the regulars. Greeley had a great
personal following, and through his
newspaper wielded a powerful influ-
ence throughout the North. It was
feared that he would stampede the Re-
publican party. Many very intelligent
Republicans believed that if he was en-
dorsed by the Democracy, Greeley's
election was assured. The , country
awaited with» breathless anxiety the
action of the National Democratic Con-
vention, which metat Baltimore on
the 9th of July. A strong undertone of
hostility was manifested toward Gree-
ley, but the hope of success finally
overcame all objections. The conven-
tion adopted the Liberal Republican
platform in its entirety, and nominated
Greeley on the first ballot by a vote of
686 to 46. This proceeding seemed to
settle every doubt as to the result. It
was received with acclaim all over
the land.
Horace Greeley was now the nomi-
nee of two parties for the Presidency.
He possessed many elements of
strength. He was an old politician of
ability and experience, and read the
tered upon an energetic personal‘can-
vass, speaking everywhere and drawing
great throngs. For a time the Liberal
Republican-Democratic canvass was
marked by the greatest enthusiasm
and confidence.
As was inevitablefrom thefirst, Grant
had been renominated, and was vio-
lently assailed both in and out of his
party. He remained at home and main-
tained a dignified silence. On the sur-
face it seemed as if the Republican
party was on the verge of dissolution.
But little black clouds no bigger than
a man's hand began to over-spread the
horizon of the Tribune philosopher’s
hopes. His strength had been overes-
timated. He failed to draw away the
expected Republican vote.
The North Carolina election, which
occurred in August, gave the first im-
portant indication of public opinion.
The Liberal candidate for Governor
was defeated by a small majority by
the regular Republican candidate, a
result totally unexpected. It was a
deadly blow. Then followed the more
important elections'in Maine and Ver-
mont, both of which went Republican
by heavy majorities. West Virginia
also elected \a Republican Governor.
These disastrous results showed that
the bottom had entirely dropped out of
Greeley’s canvass.
continued his personal appeals for sup-
port with unflagging zeal. The Oc-
tober elections in Ohio, Indiana, and
Pennsylvania confirmed the verdict of
the September States, although
Thomas A. Hendricks, the Democratic
idol, was elected Governor' of Indiana
by less than1,200 plurality. The re-
sult in November was inevitable; Mr.
Greeley’s doom was sealed. He was
simply nowhere, carrying but six
Statespin the whole Union, viz., Mary-
land, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri,
Texas, and Georgia, with 66 electoral
votes. Grant. carried all the others,
securing 300 electoral votes, a major-
ity of 234. His popular majorities
were overwhelming: in Pennsylvania
137,000, in Massachusetts 75,000, in
Illinois 56.000, in New York 53,000, in
Iowa 50,000, in Michigan 43,000, and so
on. Grant’s majorities were greatest
in the very states where Greeley had
drawn the largest crowds and appar.
ently made the strongest. impression. '
The cause of this tremendous defeat
did not lie in Mr. Geeley himself. His
personality "was satisfactory enough;
many thousands who voted dead
against him would have been glad to
see the old man President under other
circumstances. His candidacy. atthat
time represented principles and ele-
ments extremely repugnant to. the
masses of the North.
