[tiles Increased Somewhat, Though
Prices Have Lowered.
MORE HANDS NOW AT WORK.
lllvAppr-ehension Of- Foreign Disturbance
of Money Markets Has Disappeared.
“’heat, Cotton and Corn—The
Failures of the \Veek.
New YORK, Jan. 23,—R. G. Dun &
Do. ’3 weekly review of trade says:
There is more business, though not at
. better prices. It is interesting that almost
all prices which change at all are lower
than a week ago, and yet business is un-
questionably larger. There is larger pro-
duction, but as yet not as much increase
in consumption, and there is larger buy-
ing of materials, but at present only be-
cause better prices are expected in the fu-
ture. A few conspicuous failures during
the week have had no material influence.
The market for securities is slightly
stronger, and yet there is very little doing.
The number of hands employed, all indus-
tries considered, is slightly larger than a
‘week ago, without adverse change in the
rate of wages. All apprehension of foreign
disturbance of money markets lfas passed
away, but there is still great caution in
making loans. It is a mistake to reckon
these as symptoms of depression. On the
contr. , in spite of the lower range of
prices in important industries, the condi~
bions all indicate larger production and a.
consumption increasing, not as yet largely,
but steadily. -
The earnings of railroads in January
have been 4.7 per cent smaller than last
year, but 10.1 per cent smaller than in
1892, and while the decrease in full returns
for December is less 2.7pcr cent compared
with last year and 8.1 compared with
1892 that is entirely natural at this sea-
son, as the roads which report earliest in
January make relatively the worst show-
Ing. ,
Wheat, corn and cotton exports are the
key of the financial situation, and during
the past week wheat has declined five-
eighths and corn five—eighths, while cotton
is a sixteenth higher.
No Improvement In “7001.
The woolen industry is as slow as ever,
and no real improvement appears in the
demand for goods, although owing to the
lateness of the season there is alittlcunorc
doing, both in spring and in winter goods,
without quotable change in prices. The
heavy buying of wool mentioned last week
has continued, with smaller concerns par-
ticipating, and is understood to be in an-
ticipation of expected duties, the sales at
Boston alone having amounted to 11,856,-
000 pounds. ' Quotations have not changed
as yet, although western holders are quite
stiff. In the minor metals a stronger tone
is general, and with an output of 17,619
tons in the United States and 7,685 in
other countries, which is larger than in
any other month since July in other coun-
tries, and, except in October, larger than
in any other month since March last in the
United States, copper is slightly stronger
at 12 cents. Lead has improved a. little,
with 3.07% cents asked, and tin is steady
at 13. 40 cents, with a stronger market at
London. In boots and shoes the actual
shipments from Boston are but 4 per cent
less than in January, 1895, and larger
than in any other year on record. Although
there is still the common report that new
orders are extremely light, shops devoted
to the making of certain grades of goods
are preparing to close, and prices of some
grades are a little lower.
The Iron Industry.
The iron industry is engaged in settling
relative prices, and the slow operation re-
tards business in many branches, since the
future of prices is uncertain. Bessemer
pig is a trifle lower at $10.40 at Pittsburg
and gray forge at 39. 40, though no further
decline has occurred in eastern markets
or at Chicago. But the competition of
new concerns tempted to manufacture nails
by the high prices recently maintained
causes slightly lower sales of wire nails at
$1.35 and of cut nails at $1.25. The bar
association has been in session to consider
the reduction of steel bars to 1 cent, and
in large contracts even lower, and the bil-
let association has again been called to-
gether to meet on the 29th, although there
is no prospect of its reorganization and
billets are selling at $15.25 at Pittsburg.
The increase in manufacturing is perhaps
’ more definitely shown than in any other
way by the prOduct-ion of coke, which
steadily increases, 9,817 ovens being in
blast against 8,173 idle, and the week’s
output, 100,886 tons, is over double the
output of Oct. 1. .
In the money market there is no anxiety,
although supplies of commercial paper are
comparatively scanty. But the operations
in the sterling exchange market; make it
clear that foreign operations in stocks for
the, moment lean toward buying rather
than selling. The interior money move-
ment has been comparatively light, though
receipts have exceeded shipments, so that
the accumulation of» unemployed money
here increases. The treasury receipts for
the month thus far fall $8,107,119 below
expenditures, but a considerable deficiency
usually appears at the time of annual pay-
ments of interest. Failures for the week
have been 409 in the United States against
373 last year and 65 in Canada against 61
last year.
The Sullivan Murder Trial.
MONCTON, N. B., Jan. 23.—In the trial
of John E. Sullivan at Dorchester for the
alleged murder of Mrs. Eliza Dutcher and
her son the defense has presented 12 wit-
nesses, and has about 15 more. Lucy Sul-
livan, a sister of the prisoner, says Sulli-
van was in this city on the night of the
murders, and the defense will offer other
evidence toward proving an alibi.

CANTON, 0., Jan. 22.—Lyman J. Gage,
president of the First National bank of
Chicago, can be President Elect McKin-
ley’s secretary of the treasury if he wishes
the place. A special representative of MO-
Kinley is now in Chicago to urge the Chi-
cagoan’s acceptance, and it is not improb—
able that he will be successful.
There is a pretty well established belief
here that General Horace Porter of New
York will be in the cabinet and that Mr.
Lauterbach’s trip was not wholly satisfac-
tory to the organization men of the Empire
State.

LYMAN J. GAGE.
Be Ruytcr, N. Y., and is the son of Eli A.
and Mary J udson Gage. Both of his pur-
snts are also natives of New York, and their
immediate ancestors were residents of New
England.
At the age of 10 he entered the academy
at Rome, N. Y., and studied fOur years,
when it became necessary for him to earn
his own living. He was employed in the
Rome postofiice when he was 14. years Old.
A year‘latcr he was made mail agent on
the Rome and Watertown railroad. In
1854 he became clerk in the Oneida Central
bank at the salary of $100 a year.
Followed Greeley’s Advice.
As the great west was then attracting
the bright sons of the east, Mr. Gage went
to Chicago when only 19 years old and
found employment in a lumber yard and
planing mill as bookkeeper. Through the_
great financial crash of 1858 the firm sus-
pended, and he, with thousands of others,
lost his position as bookkeeper and became
watchman for his employers. He then se-‘
cured a position in the Merchants’ Saving
Loan and Trust company on a salary of
$500 a year. In five months he was paying
teller at $1,200 a year and six months
later assistant cashier at $2,000 a. year.
After one year he became cashier and occu-
pied that position until 1868. He then be-
came cashier of the First National bank of
Chicago. In 1882 he was elected a. director
and later president when his genius in
financial affairs was discovered.
With a. capital stock of $3,000,000 it had
then in deposits $30,000,000 and half that
sum in loans.
He was chairman of the Chicago com-
mittee which fought for the holding of the
World’s fair in that city. He, with three
others, then signed a pledge guaranteeing
$10,000,000 if the fair was held in Chicago.
He retained his position until the fair
closed. , _
Mr. Gage is a gentleman of fine presence,
distinguished bearing and quiet dignity.
He is a member of the Chicago Union
league and of the Commercial and Bank-
srs’ clubs.
A Californian Under Consideration.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.—United States
Circuit Judge McKenna has just returned
from Canton, 0., where he went to visit
Major McKinley. It was this visit, very
suddenly made, that disclosed the fact that
Judge McKenna may be ofiered a. cabinet
portfolio. Judge McKenna, in talking of
his visit, admitted that the cabinet ques-
tion, particularly in relation to himself,
called him to Canton. While he qualified
all his remarksin relation to his accept-
ance of a place, he said he is sure that Ca1-
ifornia will have a man in the cabinet. He
said: “I consider that too much significance
has been attached to my visit. Many
changes may occur. There is perfect free-
dom on the part of Major McKinley todo
as he may wish and perfect freedom (in my
part. There are some difficulties in the
way of my acceptance of a portfolio. I ex-
plained that very fully, and they are not
yet definitely settled. Neither the vacancy
on the supreme bench nor my present posi-
tion is in any way involved in the question
of my acceptance of a place in the cabinet.
There are other difi‘iculties in the way.”
Scheme For Summer Amusements.
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.—A syndicate of man-
agers and representatives of the principal

were John D. Hopkins, Chiflgo; John
Deverc, Cincinnati; Henry Scherf, St.
Louis, and Joseph Friedman, Paducah,
Ky. The preliminary details were ar-
ranged, and Colonel 'Hopkins will assume
the general management.

HOLD UP OF A TRAIN.
An occurrence ~\‘Vhich Is Getting to Be
Monotonous In Alabama.
BIRMIXCHAM, _Ala.., Jan. 23.—For the
second time in a month three unknown
masked men held up train No. 35 of the
Southern railway pear Berry station,
nearly 70 miles west of Birmingham, and
robbed the Southern express car. The
scenes of both robberies were within amile
of ouch other, and they were almost iden‘
ticnl in every detail. ‘
Train No. 35 left here for Grccnvillo,
Miss, in elmrge of Conductor Wilmot and
Engineer Brown. It reached Berry 30
minutes late. As it pulled out from that
station, which is a. small place in the wild-
est section of Alabama, a masked man,
heavily armed, climbed into the engine
cab, and presenting pistols at the engineer
and fireman ordered them to obey his com-
mands at the peril of their lives. At the
same time two other masked robbers board-
ed the forward platform of the express car.
When the train reached a secluded spot
near North river, three miles from Berry,
it was halted, The engineer and fireman
were ordered back to the express car,
where the two other robbers were in wait—
ing. Under the direction‘ of the outlaws
the express car doors were broken open by
engineer and fireman and pistols thrust
into Messenger \Vard’s face. His safe keys
were secured and the local safe quickly
opened and rifled of its contents. The rob—
bers then backed out of the car and disap~
peared in the darkness. The entire time of
the robbery was 12 minutes.
, A posse headed by Chief Detective D. P.
Burns left here on a. special train for the
scene of the robbery. There is no doubt in
the minds of the express and railroad offi-
cials that both this affair and that 01
a month ago were committed by the same
parties, and that the robbers reside in the
mountains near the scene, which is the
old stamping ground of the once famous
Burrows gang of train robbers.

SPEAKS FROM EXPERIENCE.
Anderson Has Lost Faith in the Eye as a
Beast Tamer.
It is the belief of George Anderson,
a trapper up in Maine, that all the
stories he has read about how wild
beasts have been cowed by the steady,
unvarying gaze of a man was non-
sense. This belief is a result of an ex-
perience he had with a cow moose on
the little branch of'Rifle creek.
Anderson was looking after some
traps he had set for mink and mar-ten,
and his only weapon, was a 23-ca1ibre
rifle. He was walking along a ridge
beside the stream, when, about fifteen
yards away, he saw what appeared to
be a. rabbit. Drawing down on it with
his rifle, he fired, whereupon a big,
ungainly moose calf jumped up from
the brush and stood still, bellowing
with pain and fear.
The trapper was so startled that he
forgot to work the little grip that
throws new shells into his rifle. Five
seconds after the shot a. big cow
moose came through the woods on the
run, and, without sto ping to lick the
calf, as a bear woul have done to a
wounded cub. she made for the man.
She was too close to be escaped by
tree climbing or running. Anderson’s
mind worked fast, and he’ decided at
once that his only hope was to stam-
pede the cow by gazing at her severe-
ly. I-Ie gazed all right, and thinks that
he looked more severe than scared, but
the moose kept right on coming with
her eyes twinkling and looking
straight at him. Anderson began to
be worried by the time she was ten
feet away. He realized that so far as
stopping a. charging cow moose was
concerned, the human eye isn’t what it
is cracked up to be. The man turned
to jump, and the moose buttcd him on
the hip, and knocked him a good three
yards down the back of the ridge,
landing him out of sight in the brush.
Both moose and calf went away, ‘and
Anderson limped home, and sleeps on
his left side now..—Lewiston Journal.
Notes of a \Veiglity Bell.
The second bell in weight in the
world, that at Mingoon, in India, has
lately been raised from the ground and
arranged so as to ring again, after a
lapse of nearly a. century, says the
"lVestlninster Gazette.” This bell
weighs between ninety and one hun:
tired tons. It is surpassed by the giant,
at Moscow in weight, but the latter
has lost a large piece out of it, and, as
it is used as a chapel, cannot now be
rung. There is, however, another bell
at Moscow which is used, and is said
to weigh 128 tons.
The Mingoon bell is twelve feet high
and about eighteen feet in diameter at
the rim. The immense wooden beams
on which it formerly hung have long
since been broken down at the shackle.
It has recently been rehung on a steel
girder at a height of twenty-five feet
from the ground. It is proposed to en-
case the supporting columns and gird-
ers with carved teak in a Burmese de-
sign, and then erect a cupola over the
whole structure. The bell at Pekin,
which is the third largest in the world
that can still be used, weighs only fif-
ty-eight tons. "

How Gnrabuldi Captured Naples.
A writer who reached Naples a few
days after the event heard from the
lips of the people on'account of the
taking of that city by Garibaldi. The
king was still there; the Neapolithn
police were sullen and inactive; what
the action of the military would be
was not known, and upon it depended
the fortune of the hour. The people
turned out in a body to witness the ar-
rival of Garibaldi. Numbers of them
climbed upon the engine and cars of
the slowly-apprOaching train which
bore the general and his stafi to the
city. Entering a carriage with Coz‘
enz, Garibaldi started, followed by
three other carriages containing his
staff-Officers. The fortress of St. El-
mo bristled with guns and gunners,
and they were ordered to fire and clear
the streets with grapeshot’as soon as
the’ Garibaldians were within rang?
On came the carriage slowly, amid a
roar of “Vivas.” As it approached
the guns of Costello l\'uova, the artil-
lerymen, with lighted matches in their
hands, pointed the guns. At that mo-
ment the voice of Garibaldi rose clean
ly above the uproar—“slower, slower-
drive slower!” This he reiterated un-
til the frightened coachman instinc-
tively obeyed the man whom no one
disobeyed. Then, under the very mouth
of the guns and before the gunners
who were already under orders/t0 fire,
Garibaldi rose to his feet in the «can
ringe, with one hand on his breast, and
looked fixedly at the artillerymen. 'A
silence fell upon the tumultuous crowd;
those who Were present declared it
was as if Garibaldi magnetised. them.
'l‘hr’ee times the order to fire was
given; and, with his own fate and
ltuly’s in the balance, the general stood
looking upon the men. At the third
order the gunners flung away their
matches. throw their cups in the air.
and shouted. “Viva Garibaldi!” The
city was taken.
