They Are Caused Only by Russia’s Need of the Metal—Better Business In the Iron Industry—_~Railroad Earnings Also Picking Up. _ h \ New York, May 22.—R. G. Dun a- Co.'s weekly review of trade says: ‘Unmistakable evidence of improve- ment comes in the general increase of commercial loans, mostly for eastern merchants or companies, though some well known houses in the middle west appear, with considerable rediscounts from the south. Not for a. long time have commercial loans been fully half the whole. The distinct change gives proof that new business has been larger than many have supposed. Receipts of money from the, interior exceed ship— ments $1,500,000, mostly from the mid- dle west. Exports of gold have no in- fluence, and only signify the willingness of Russia to pay a. price for the gold ' needed. The excess of merchandise im— ports to answer demands for half a. year to come involves a greater excess of exports when the anticipatory move- ment ends and crops begin to ‘move, which fact renders large outgoes of gold less likely and gives the country a. stronger position in international markets. Meanwhile there is a contin— uing increase, distinct though gradual, in the volume of business, in demand for products of manufacture and, con- sidering the time of year, in movement of grain and produce. Wheat again cheated hopeful buyers and fell nearly 4 cents, closing 23 /8 lower for the week. Corn was a. shade weak- er. Cotton once more hopefully ad- vanced to 7% cents, but fell back to 7%, with poor support here or abroad. Both the volume of stocks and the condition of domestic and foreign markets for goods hinder advance, and later acre— age reports are better. The Iron Industry. The iron industry has quite an in- crease in new business, though not in all branches. Part was due to the rup- ture of the steel beam pool and the fall in price from 1.55 to 1.25 nominally quoted, and some good structural con- tracts were at once secured. Part is due to a better demand for plates and for pipe, of which one large contract for Indiana fields was placed, and part to growing needs for cars and vessels. There is also some increase in rods, though the season for wire and nails is nearing an end, because of an expected pool of rod mills. Low southern freight rates marketed a little'more iron at the north, and eastern foundry is slightly lower, with gray forge only $8.25 at Pittsburg. The Carnegie works-are now turning out 3,000 tons of rails daily, nearly all on old orders, and exports of finished products increase. Sales of copper, said to be nearly 60,000,000 pounds, have stiffened the price to 11% for lake, and tin rose to 131/2 cents in spite of larger arrivals, though lead was weaker at 3.25 cents and tin plates at $3.30. Coke is also a‘shade lower. A general yielding in prices, though averaging only about 2% cents per pair, has materially improved trade in boots and shoes, and factories in women's shoes have orders for some time ahead, while there advance over last year. Hides and leather were unusually high a year ago, but comparing with ten years ago hides are now 9 per cent higher, leather 11 per cent lower and boots and shoes 14 per cent IOWer. Woolen goods are dull, but prices are firm. The strike of cloth- ing hands here somewhat restricts the new demand. Cotton goods are without change in prices, print cloths still at the lowest on record, and the demand is still indifferent, with talk of temporary closing of mills at the south. The Railroads. Railroad earnings reflect material in- crease in west bound movement, espe- cially of high class freight, in part be- cause of cutting of rates, and in spite of small grain tonnage earnings of all roads reporting for the first half of May were 1.5 per cent greater than last year and only 3 per cent less than in 1892. Pleasanter accounts are made by in— clusion of Canadian roads with a heavy gain, but on United States roads only reports are, on the whole, the best yet made this year. An east bound tonnage from Chicago is 10 per cent less than last year and 8 per cent less than in 1892, the increase in freight of other kinds having been large. Stocks have been inactive, and, but for Jersey Cen- tral, which declined $5.62 per share, other coalers sympathizing some, the average would‘have been scarcely low- er. Evidence of gradual gain is found in clearing house returns, though in or- dinary statements hidden by the great decline at New York due to speculative stagnation. Imports continue extraordinary, for two weeks at New' York 71 per cent larger than last year, but are anticipat- ing business belonging to later months: MeanWhileo exports from New,York for the week are 19 per cent and for two weeks 17 per cent larger than last year. Failures for two weeks of May have been- put at $6,728,731 against $6,719,153 last year, $5,178,756 in 1895 and $5,071,116 in 1894. Manufactur- ing were $2,657,666 against $2,003,157 last year, while trading were $2,792,715 against $4,635,983 last year. The excess over last year, as in April, is wholly due to manufacturing failures, those in trading being smaller than for three years. Failures for the week have been 248 in the United States against 227 last year, and 37 in Canada against 28 last year. The Yerkes Telescope Finished.

Yonkers’ Ex-Mayin' Exrmine the Manner In Which His Money “79.5 Takcn. Yonkers. N. Y., May 21 —E:-; 2.2ay'or John F. Peene, of whom it was [report- ed in today’s papers that he had been robbed in Springfield, Mass. ., last night, when seen today, said: . “Yes, it is true that I was robbed, .but it is an unqualified lie that I was robbed in the manner described by sen- sational papers. I was at Greenfield, Mass, yesterday afternoon for the pur- pose of purchasing some cattle. I had $1,000 with me. I left Greenfield, Mass, at 5:18 in order to connect with the New York train at Springfield at 6:31. I sat in the train reading the New York papers, and at Chicopee some one got out from the shady side of the train, and I took’his place. “On leaving the train at Springfield I felt some one push me from behind, but I took little notice of it. As I de- scended among the crowd Ihioticed a man on the platform, almost on all fours, groping as if in search of some- thing he had lost.‘ At the same time I felt some one evidently trying_to get his hand in my pocket, and as soon as I could get my hand behind me I felt for my money, only to find it missing. Then it flashed upon me that the man on all fours was a decoy, and, looking around, I saw a man sneaking down the plat- form casting an eye over his shoulder. I started for him, and he ran toward the outer end of the platform, where an iron fence barred further prcg.es 5. Here I cornered 'him and said: ‘You have got my money. Give it to me,’ at the same time seizing him by the two arms. Quick as lightning he threw up his knee and kicked me in the left groin, stopping my breath. “The man then ran swiftly away and I, as best I could, went to the other end of the platform and notified the train men that I had been robbed. While engaged in talking to them I noticed the man who had robbed me on the train, which was on the point of start- ing out. I yelled: ‘There is the man who robbed me. Stop the triain.’ The conductor, after a. few seconds’ hesita- tion, waved his hand, saying, ‘We can‘t stop for that,’ and the train passed out. Had I received proper attention from the trainmen both men would 1'13le been captured. ” Mayor Peene says he conversed with no representatives of the. press,1and only,3 o“ave a description of the man \1 no robbed and assaulted him to a local po- liceman.
