Curtailment of Production Offset by the Starting Up of BIanufactories—‘Vheat a. Perplexiug |Foature—Fall-. ures In J an nary. J NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—R. G. Dun 4& Co. ’5 weekly review of trade says: N 0 important change in business ap- pears, but the number of manufacturing establishments starting much exceeds the number of those stopping during the week and so much that the curtailment of work- ing time in many cotton mills probably does not lessen the aggregate productive force or amount of wages paid. There is distinct increase in orders for woolen goods, some gain in the silk manufacture, a wait- ing condition with gain in one branch of boots and shoes and indications Of better things coming in the iron and steel manu- factures. All symptoms are favorable in the money market, and a large sale of se- curitics in connection‘with the Northern Pacific and Oregon navigation interests to THE-n vnsme ' "9,-523414 1E . i 1 European purchasers will put off still fur- : thcr the possibility of r." l ? experts. To many it is the I: ,. t: pcrpkxxing fea- ture of current. event-a IL... chat does not rise much, though it has advanced 1% cents for the week. The condition of the market is not explained by any special in- formation, but current prices show that no great confidence is felt in the estimates of supplies available for the rest of the year. Cotton fell to 71/; cents after the agreement to close Fall River and other print cloth works became known, but recovered the quotation of a week ago, 7.31 cents, with- outfunther news. Spinners’ takings have been sosmall this year those of northern flills about 400,000 bales less than in 189l-5—that the admitted narrowness of demand for goods has at present consider- able weight. It appears that foreign trade is also somewhat restricted by narrowness of demand. . Sales of wool have been smaller than in other recent weeks, and yet are far in ex- cesscf the consumption of all mills for a week, if all were fully employed. At the three chief markets the aggregate for the week has been 13,563,700 pounds, and for five weeks since Jan. 1 it has been 51,111,- 300 pounds, of which 31,890,700 have been domestic, and some of the largest mills are arranging with sellers to store the wool purchased for 30 or 60 days because the are overcrowded with stocks on hand. A London account states that prices of Australian would have gone lower but for American buying, and rumor credits 3. single concern with purchases of 15,000,- 000 pounds Australian, here or abroad. There has been only a slight stiffening in prices, but more foreign wool will be taken and stored, it is believed, if western hold- ers continue to demandhigher prices. Other hIarkets. Prices of bessemer pig and gray forge at Pittsburg have slightly advanced, with a much more hopeful feeling, notwithstand- ing the comparative narrowness of the de- mand for finished products, and in wire and wire nails there is much more busi- ness, with good products. Billets are quoted at $15. 25, with scarcely any demand at present, and rods at $21, while No. 27 black sheets are quoted at only 2 cents. Reports that 25,000 tons of steel plate and sheet bars have been exported to England are only indications of the temporary ex- cess of supply over demand in this country and are not supposed to have realized any profit. Yet it is stated that prices of cast pipe are from $2 to $3 per ton lower at New York than at Scotch works. Bars are quoted at the loweSt'price ever known at Philadelphia, without much im- provement in the demand, and steel rails are still inactive and unchanged in price, the railroads waiting for a decline corre- sponding to the fall in billets. But on the whole the demand for iron and steel prod- ucts is slowly gaining, and a. considerable proportion of the works is fully employed, though the gain is not yet enough for those who have taken large stocks of ma- terial or products on speculation. In the money market there appears no embarrassment, and the large sale of Northern Pacific and Oregon Navigation securities to European capitalists has given additional assurance that balances due to this country will not be canceled for some months to come, so that the point of pos- sible gold exports is removed still farther. The course of the stock market has been uninstructive, and dealings have not been large, but the average of railroad. stocks has advanced a small fraction, and the average of trust stocks has slightly declin- ed. The earnings of railroads during the year thus far have been 6. 3 per cent smaller than last year and,10.9 per cent smaller than in 1893. Returns of clearings at the principal clearing houses are 15 per cent larger than last year, but 30.8 per cent smaller than in 1892. Failures for the month of January, now fully reported by branches, show liabilities smaller than last year by $3,376,158, with a. slight decrease in number and a decrease of about $1,573 in average liabilities.

Curtis, member of congress from the Twenty-second district of New York, pram tically denied that at the banquet of the New York commandcry of the military order of the Loyal legion, in New York, on Wednesday, he used the words“cow- ard,” “liar” and “our,” which have been attributed to him in some newspaper re— ports, when he made a reply to statements contained in the paper read by General Ames of Lowell, Mass, on the capture of Fort Fisher during the civil war. General Curtis'said that General Ames’ paper put very severe strictures upon General Torry, who commanded the successful expedition against Fort Fisher, and some statements were very uncomplimcntary in relation to the part. performed by him (Curtis). At the close of General Ames’ paper the de- mand was general and emphatic for Curtis to respond at once. He made a statement in plain and direct terms, disputing some . of the assertions which had been made by General Ames concerning Terry and him- The incident closed with an invita- tion for General Curtis to prepare and read a paper before the society on the capture of "Fort Fisher, and this, General Curtis says, he intends to do.

The winds‘were ac— companied by a heavy rain which ruined ‘ u . ~ . . , the furniture in residences and goods in 7stores which had been deprived of their l . :OD. roofs. The telegraphic wires were demoral- ized by the storm, and consequently news from the scene of the disaster is meager. The rain. and lightning started on Monday, Jan. 4', and rain was pouring on the fol- lowing Thursday, when the barometer be- gan to fall and the wind to increase. ing and continued all day. The rainfall Monday and Wednesday was 4.30 inches, and on Thursday 1 inch was re- corded. Secretary Carlisle's Plans. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-—Sccretary Car- lzlle has gone to New York. While his mission has not been made public, it is believed here that it is to investigate cer- tain business propositions which have been made to him looking to his opening a law office in New York after March 4. It is understood that the secretary’s prefer- ence is to open an office in Louisville, but his final determination of the matter is not yet certain. It is said inducements have been held out for him _ to go to Chi- cage. FINANCIAL ANDW-OOMMBROIAL. Closing Quotations of the New York Stock Exchange.

Beware of imitations of Same Color Wrapper, RED. The * wind was at its height by Thursday morn- ..office and Factory, Pacific Street-- Found dead l_ Thefe is something so shocking about sudden death that the mere mention of it wrenches the nerves of sensitive people. Millions of people pray for deliverance from it. Every Sunday in every Episcopal church in the world, these words are said : ' “ From battle, andmurder and sudden death, Good Lord, deliver us." Just why sudden death should be shock. ing, and death after lingering disease easy to bear, would puzzle any one to tell. I: would seem that it would be more terrible - to see some loved one wasting away, daily becoming weaker—daily slipping toward a death no less certain ‘ because it was slow it coming. Consumption causes more deaths than heart disease—more than cholera— more than yellow fever~more than any other disease the world has ever known. And yet people are careless about it. A man in danger of sudden death from heart dis- ease can avoid the danger simply by keeping quiet and avoiding excitement. Consump- tion goes right on with its deadly work, no matter what the man does or how he con- ducts himself, if he doesn’t take the right medicine to cure it. Consumption affects the whole body. Itis a. blood disease. it permeates the whole system. It shows in the lungs because the blood goes to the lungs for purification. It carries impurities there to be made pure. If there is tooamuch impurity, the lungs are over-worked-over- loaded—the impurity stops there. The germs of disease stop there. They develop and multiply and then consumption takes definite form.

Probably 'the best method of feeding bees in winter“ is to give them a frame of honey. All colonies do not consume the some amount of stores, and by examining a number of them, combs of honey can 'furnish the needy colonies with stores. If some colonies must be fed. and honey is not available, the best substi- tute is a candy made of granulated su— gar. Put in sufficient water to dissolve the sugar. then boil the syrup until it will burden in cooling. To learn when to remove the candy from the fire, take out a spoonful every few minutes and ,allow it to cool. As soon as it is suf- ficiently hard, remove it from stove and pour it into shallow (lishes‘to , cool.‘ Be :arcful not to get it too hard. if it ifs hard enough to retain its form when placed over a colony of bees. that is .suliicicnt.

I‘hnvc had experience with both Os- age hedge and barb wire fences, as well as board fences. I know thatimy hedge fences are by far the most ex- pensive fence that I have. ' My advice to the farmers would "be, do not set out a hedge for a fence, but if you are unfortunate enough to have one and it is not in good condition, get rid of it as soon as possible. As for the barb wire fence, I’believe that the farmers are themselves to blame for the greater part of the accidents. It is no uncommon thing to See a ‘broken wire dangling from a post, or the wires hanging nearly to the ground- where the staples have dropped out, or to see where one or two wiresihave been put in one and one-half to three feet from the ground to stop a hole in a hedge or willow fence. If good posts are used, properly set and not further than six- teen feet apart, then make the fence four and one-half feet high, put on tight and stapled to the posts, a fence will be secured which will turn any and all ordinary stock. but little danger of animals getting hurt upon it. It will not blow over, and there is but little expense in keep- ing it up after it has once been erected. as long as the posts are sound. I would prefer such a fence to any hedge that l have ever seen. But if one can af- ferd'it, a still better fence is agreed woven wire fence with one barb wire on motel), and the posts not'farther than sixteen feet apart—Charles Prouty. Notes on Hog Cholera. It is almost impossible to cure hogs after they are once sick. The only way hogs which are thoroughly vigorous and healthy. To do this, avoid breed-- lug young, immature stock, and, do not practice close inbreeding. Feed health- t'ul foods and give a variety. Alvays have the water pure. Infection is’chr- vied more largely by water than by any other emethod. Give plenty of- , salt, ashes, rotten wood, brokentlle, mor; (or, soft coal, etc. I-Izlve these where the hogs can get at them at any time. Feed apples, pumpkins, and the like, whenever they are obtainable, If dis- ease should break out among the ani- mals. take away the well ones and put them into a lot that has never been oc- cupied by hogs. Disinfect the quarters of the diseased pig and give extra care and attention—American Agrici’iltur—. ist. ' The Amount of Water in Butter. The amount of water in butter varies widely. As a general rules. the. more, water there is in the butter, the poorer its quality and the lower its price.

Out of nearly 600 cases that were ex- hibited at the permanent Danish but- ter exhibition. very few had over 16 per cent of water and the average for all was 13.7.
