Circumstances Which Indicate a Bet-

Efi'ect of Enormous Porches? of Steel
Bails—Other Industries Also Report-
ed .to Be Gaining Somewhat.
Failures of the Week.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—R. G. Dun &
Co. ’s weekly review of trade says:
A large increase in the iron and steel
business on account of sales covering 8 to
12 months production of the largest Works,
a better demand for woolen goods, and
slightly better for cottons, a. gain which
may prove lasting in boots and shoes,
slightly better prices for wheat, cotton and
wool and iron, and a money market well
adapted to encourage liberal purchases
against future improvement in business
have rendered the past week more hopeful
than any other since early in November.
The heavy excess of merchandise exports
over imports in January, the continuance
of exchange rates showing that Europe is-
still largely indebted to this country on
current account, and the prospect that
congress will adjourn without any disturb-
ing action all have their favorable influ-
ence upon the money market and upon
future undertakings.
In nearly every branch the great iron
and steel industry feels the upward 1m-
pulse supplied by purchases of steel rails,
said to be half a million tons each from
the Illinois Steel company and .from the
Carnegie company, besides from other
companies, in part as low as $15 per ton,
about 100,000 to foreign purchasers at $17
to $18, but ail recent sales at $20 at east~
cm and $21 at western mills. Nearly all
the great railroads of the country have
seized the opportunity to supply them-
selves with rails for one or two years’ re-
quirements. These enormous orders have
advanced bessemer pig at Pittsburg only
15 cents per ton, with Grey Forge a shade
lowor there, and no considerable change
appears in finished products, although
plates are unchanged in price with good
demand and nails are held at recent
prices. The Bar association no longer
controls anything, and iron bars are quot-
ed at $1.05 per 100 pounds, wlnle‘steel bars
are quoted at 95 cents per 100 pounds.
Structural forms are steady, although 100,-
000 to 150,000 tons are said to be required
in New York alone this year, and Ameri-
can tin plates are still selling at $3.20,
which is 70 cents less than the price for
the same quality of foreign plates.
Other Industries.
Other industries are gaining also, though
less conspicuously. The shipments of
boots and shoes in February have been
about 3,000 cases larger than in any pre-
vious year to date, and the increasing or-
ders have enabled some-works to start, al-
though very many buyers still hesitate to
pay the advanced prices demanded. But
leather is well supported at the recent ad-,
vance in prices by larger purchases and is
a shade stronger, while hides, although
irregular and peculiarly sensitive at Chi-
cago, are also a shade stronger in quota-
tiOns. The recent decline and subsequent
rise in raw cotton have not materially af-
fected the manufacture, which is gradu-
ally getting rid of its accumulated surplus,
though there seems to be but little increase
as yet in the demand for goods. The sales
of wool have sharply declined, amounting
to 7,409,300 pounds for the week against
9,157,900 for the previous week, but owing
to the heavy transactions early in the
month the sales for three weeks have been
30,130,900 pounds, of which 18,057,300
were domestic against 13,168,700 pounds
last year, of which 5,997,500 were domes-
tie, and 16,996,200 in 1892, of which 10,-
944,200 were domestic. The larger mills
have acquired full supplies for the present,
and at any advance of prices they appear
ready to drop out of the market. The de-
mand for woolen goods does not seem to
have expanded materially, andvno quot-
able change in prices has appeared during
the week.
The volume of business is not accurately
represented by clearing house exchanges,
owing to the extra holiday this year at
some commercial centers. But the daily
average appears to be about 3.4 per cent
smaller than last year and 30 per cent
smaller for the month thus far than in
1892. The railroad earnings begin to show
improvement, being 12.8 per cent larger
than last year for the second week of Feb-
ruary and 8.3 per cent for the month and
only 7.4 per cent less than in the some
weeks of 1892. The fuller returns for
Januarynow show a decrease of 6.9 per
cent from last year and 6.6 per cent from
1892. Failures for the past week have been
303 in, the United States against 280 last
year and 58 in Canada against 66 last
year. '
Auburn Bank Settlement.
’ AUBURN, N. Y., Feb. 20.—The affairs of
the First National bank, which failed in
1888, are to be finally settled within a. few
weeks. Past due paper, notes, etc., and
the furniture of the bank were sold at pub-
lic auction. The face value of the paper
and property disposed of, according to Mr.
Hayes, the receiver, is estimated at be-
tween $800,000 and $1,000,000. The
amount received from the sale was about
$800.
Inlay Yet Hear of the Oaks. .
TACOMA, Feb. 20.——-The third mate of
the steamer Olympic throws some light on
the disappearance of the T. F. Oaks, which
sailed from Hongkong for New York on
July 4 last. It is customary for vessels at
Hongkong, when making the passage to
New York, to sail through the China. sea
Some shipping
men think the Oaks may yet sail into New
York uninjured.

TO MOVE WAYLAND SEMINARY.
Will Be Established In Richmond—Bol-
Ions For Leaving ‘Vashington.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—-Wayla.nd semi-
nary, an institution for the education of
colored youth under the control of the Bap-.
tist denomination, has decided to move to
Richmond. This decision has been reached
after several years spent in a careful study
of the situation. It is held that the educa-
tional opportunities for the colored people
which Washington affords, both in public
schools and in the Howard university, are
so much superior to the opportunities
farther south that this institution would
do more good in such a city as Richmond,
and the conclusion 15 further supported by
the fact that that city would be more con-
venient for a majority of the pupils as the '
school' 18 at present constituted.
The immediate occasion for moving
is the rise in land values, which affords
a tempting inducement for the institu-
tion to not a handsome endowment fund
by simply selling out its present lo-
cation and buying elsewhere. In 1868
Wayland seminary bought a. piece of land
for $10,000 on what is known as Columbia
Heights, :1 high ridge about two miles
north of the White House. This land today
is rated at $150,000 for building purposes,
whilo’a location a little farther from the
center of the city, either here or in Rich.
mond, would answer the needs of the
school just as well. In fact, it is proposed
to invest about $10,000 in land in the out-
skirts of Richmond, the amount originally
invested here, and it m‘ay be that the school
will in time net another handsome return
from the same source.
Fitzslmmons' Training Quarters.
CARSON CITY, Nev., Feb. 19,—Martin
Julian has selected training quarters for
Fitzsimmons. The place is known as
Cook’s ranch. It was a clearing covering
several acres of land, about three miles
south of Carson City, and lies in a little
valley at the foot of a. spur of the moun-
tains. The dwelling house contains eight
comfortable rooms and is surrounded by
a. pretty grove of trees. About 50 yard:
from this building is a pavilion, 100 feel
square, where Fitzsimmons will do most
of his work.
To Strengthen the Browns.
"ST. LOUIS, Feb. 19.-——Stanley Robison,
vice president of the Cleveland Baseball
club, passed through here on route tc
Cleveland. Mr. Robison said that? the
League clubs would have to come to the
aid of Mr. Von der Ahe. He added that
four of the eastern clubs would, at the
coming meeting of the League, turn ovci
to the Cleveland club a,pla-yer each, and
the Cleveland club would, in turn, give
Mr. Von der Ahe a quartet, of its stars, so
as to strengthen the Browns.

Trying to Protect Their Salmon.
VANCOUVER, B. 0., Feb. 19.—Two oi
the British Columbia members of the Do-
minion parliament, representing the salm-
on canners, are in the state of Washing-
ton trying to persuade the legislature to
pass a. law prohibiting salmon trappingni
Port Roberts, just over the line. The traps
used by the United States fishermen cost
from $25,000 to $30,000. They are placed
in the way of the Salmon as they swarm
up the Fuca straits, heading for the Brit;
ish Columbian rivers.
Utah May Honor Brigham Young.
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 19.—-Communi-
cations were read in the house from Sena-
tor Frank J. Cannon and Governor Wells
asking the legislature to take advantage oi
the law granting the privilege of each
state in the Union to place in the hall of
statuary at Washington the statues of two
of its distinguished dead whom it wishes
to honor. It was suggested that the legis-
lature take advantage of this privilege and
place in position a statue of Brigham
Young.
Cleveland to Go Yachting.
GREENWICH, Conn, Feb. 19.—The crew

ATHENS, Feb. 19.——An
what may be expected in the way of as-
sistance il‘Olll Macedonia in any possible
cont int with the Turk is shown in the
steady accessions of Macedonians to the
Greek ranks. .
A force of 1,000 Macedonian volunteers
in one body crossed the frontier and joined
the G1 eek army.
In reply to the demand of the diplomats
repiescnting the great powers here that
the Greek flotilla
commanded by
Prince George be
withdrawn from
Cretan Waters at
once, M. Skouses,
minister of for-
eign afi'airs, sent
to each minister a
note saying the
withdrawal of the
flotilla will be
impossible until
Crete is complete-
ly pacified, and,
furthermore, that
- ‘KING GEORGE.
ment will not rescind its orders to the
Greek forces in Crete to oppose the landing
of Turkish troops upon the island.
Colonel Vassos, commanding the Greek
military forces in Crete, has established ‘
headquarters at Gonia and is making prep-
arations to attack the town of Selina.
Despite the action of the powers in re-
straining the Greek troops in Crete from
aggressive operations against the Turks
and the probability that that island will
eventually be handed over to Greece with-
out the necessity of her fighting for its
possession, the war feeling here is increas-
ing hourly.
The enthusiasm with which the reserves
responded to the call to arms has been
fully equaled by the military order of vol-
unteers. who are flocking into the city
from all parts, eager to take part in battle
against the Turk.
It is announced today that the king of
Greece intends to take command of the
northern army in person, and this report
has had the effect to still further inflame
the martial spirit of the people.
Russia Expects \Var.
LONDON, Feb. 19.—Russia. is evidently
preparing for war. In addition to her
forces now massed at Odessa and the Black
Sea. fleet, which is kept constantly ready
for action at that port, she has three war-
ships cruising. in the Black sea. within an
hour‘s sail of the mouth of the Bosporus.
Prince Nicholas of Greece has left Ath-
ens for Larissa. He is in command of a
regiment of artillery, which includes seven
batteries of larupp guns. All the reserves
who have been called out, numbering 16,-
000 men, have also been ordered north.
The forces under Prince Nicholas, to-
gether with the reserve re-enforcements,
are believed to be sufficient for the protec-
tion of the Grecian frontier. The moun‘
tain passes on the border are narrow and
may be easily protected.
The Turkish forces in Macedonia num-
ber some 40,000 men, but they are in hos-
tile territory, and in case of hostilities
Macedonians, Bulgarians and Servians
would certainly side with Greece.
The exact position of the great powers
with regard to the disturbance is still an
uncertainquantity. The independence and
absolute assurance which have marked all
the movements of Greece compel the belief
that she has the backing of some powerful
ally. Russia is singled out as the power
behind the scenes.
The dowager czarina, it is reported, has
telegraphed to her brother, King George of
Greece, expressing, her anxiety about the
present situation and offering the assist-
. ance of Russia. in case it is needed.
Reports from Russia confirm the belief
that she is secretly backing Greece. The
Russian army is being placed on a war
footing, and the Black sea fleet at Odessa
is constantly ready for action.
Germany alone of all the great powers is
not in absolute sympathy with Greece.
Greek Flax: Hauled Down.
KHANIA, Crete, Feb. 19.——Everythingis
qui 13 here. The foreign marines who are
in occupation of the town are still flying
their respective fags, but the Greek flag
has been lowered from the Greek consulate
in compliance with the notice sent to the
consul by the Euchean commanders yes-
terday.
The Turkish troops have occupied forti-
fied positions around the town with the
co- operation of the E111 opean officers.
The mutilated c01pse of a sister Of the
Russian vice consul has been found lying
on the ground at Halepa. The discovery
of the body has created an intense feeling
of indignation among the foreigners here.
Turkish volunteers and refugees who
have been brought. here by a. transport
state that 100 Mussulmans have been kill-
ed at Sarakincs and Selinos and that an
equal number have been killed in the sur-
rounding ‘cOuntry.

a. Few Allegations.
MANY FAGTORIES STOPPED.
Investigating Committee Initiated Into
Mysteries of the “Factor Agroc-
“. ment"—Why the Wages of an
- Employee Were Reduced.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-—The first witness
called today by the legislative trust inves—
tigators was Henry Burn, president of the
National Wall Paper company, who was
asked if he had brought a copy of the
agreement upon which his goods were sold.
He had given the chairman a copy.
The chairman read one paragraph, by
which the dealer agrees not to purchase
any wall paper from any other concerns
National company and asked if this plan
had been in force since the formation of
the combination.
“No, sir.”
Witness said that during the first few
years they issued an option to the entire
trade, and those who wished to avail them-
selves of it could get a. rebate. The rebate
varied from 10 per cent the first year to 20
per cent the last. year.
“Is it not true that you have forced 60
of the largest. jobbers to go out of busi-
ness?”
“NO, sir.”
“Did you not find that the jobbers were
selling goods of your competitors and have
a. struggle with them a few years ago and
try to destroy them?”
“No, sir. They could not sell other
goods if they had an agreement with us,
as the contract stipulated they should not. ”
Failing to get any evidence tending to
show that the National company controlled
the jobbing trade and retail prices, Mr.
Lexow turned to the matter of labor and
asked if Mr. Burn could produce certain
statistics. Witness replied that he could,
but that it would take two weeks to pre-
pare them.
“How is it, then, that you could swear
yesterday that you still employed as many
men as formerly and at as steady employ-
ment?”
“I know that all our factories are fully
manned, and that we have an agreement
with the labor organizations to the effect
that these men shall be employed 11 months
out; of the year.”
The chairman then asked many ques-
tions regarding the minor details of the
labor employed in the various factories.
He referred to one or two factories which
had been closed, and asked what had be-
come of the employees. The witness ex-
plained in detail how the skilled men had
all been transferred to other factories, the
capacities of which had been increased.
The chairman then asked:
“How many competitors did you leave
in the field when you consolidated?”
“Eight.”
Factories Closed.
“How many were there then in the
combination?’ ’
“ Twenty-four. ”
“ You then closed up eight of those in
the combination?”
“ Yes, four the first year and then six
subsequently, making ten in all. ”
“They employed 15 per cent Of the la.-
bor?” ‘
“No, about 10 per cent.”
Again referring to the labor question,
the chairman asked if he did not have an
ugreement with his employees by which
they bound themselves not to enter the em-
ploy of a. competing concern.
“No, sir; I never heard of such athing,”
replied the witness in amazement.
He then gave many statements regard-
ing the scale of wages, showing how the
grades had been changed, skilled labor be-
ing advanced and inferior being reduced.
_ “Did you reduce the wages of a Mr.
Young from $30 to $20?”
Mr. Burn then explained that the reduc-
tion was made at the instigation of the la-
bor unions, which insisted on a. uniform
scale Of wages for the different grades of
labor, demanding an increase for certain
skilled labor and a uniform price to be
paid for unskilled labor. This had result-
ed in their being compelled to reduce the
wages of many employees who were not
skilled workmen, but they were also com-
pelled to increase the wages of a like num-
ber. He thought the reductions would
about equal increases.
“Was not that reduction ordered by the
committee on economy?” . '
The witness finally admitted that it
might be true, but insisted on explaining
that it was nevertheless caused solely by
the labor unions, which insisted on higher
wages for the skilled workmen 1n the labor
unions.

WILL SHARE ITS PROFITS.
The Illinois Central Road Inaugurates a
Co-operative Scheme.
For the first time in the history of
railroading railroad employes have
‘ been offered .an opportunity to try pro- _ I
fit sharing with the road for which
they work. The Illinois Central, one of 1
the greatest railway corporations in the
world, has decided to adopt the sys-
tem, though in a somewhat curious‘
fashion. .
In an announcement to its employees
it offers to permit any one in itsem-
ploy to purchase Shares of stock of the
company at a figure for below the reg-
ular market rate. Quotations will
change with each month, and these
changes will be made known to the
heads of the Central’s departments.
The price made at the beginning of
each month will stand until the first
of the month succeeding.
An employe purchasing stock or a
share can pay down if. he chooses, or
in installments of $5 per month, or any
multiple of $5. When the share of
stock—for only one share can be taken
at a time—is paid for the subscribing
employe receives from the company a
certificate of the share, which is regis-
tered in his name on the corporation’s
books. Just as soon as this is" done the
1purchaser of another share may begin
in the same way, and so on, without
limit. The certificates of stock thus
purchased are transferable on the com— ,
pany’s books, and entitle the owner to
such dividends as the Board Of Direc-
tors may declare, and also give him the
privilege of a vote in the election of.
these same directors who vote the divi—
dend.
The marked advantage to the em;
ploye who takes thiS offer is evidenced
by the fact that all during the time he
is paying by installments for asingle
share he will receive interest on the de-
posits hc makes at the rate of four per
cent per annum, provided he does not
allow twelve consecutive months to
elapse without making any payment.
Should he do this—that is, allow the
lapse referred to—the payment of inter.
est will cease to accrue, and he will be ‘
given whatever sum he has deposited 1'
whenever he makes application for this
same—New York Herald. _ a;
Curiosities of Nomenclature.
Perhaps the strangest specimen of lo-
cal nomenclature in the United States
