The Volimle is Much Larger, Though the Values Are Smaller. UN NOTICED IMPROVEMENT. Delay In Recovery Caused by the Possi- bility of Decisive Action at Washing- ton —' Plenty of “’hent Still on , Hand—Failures of the \Ve‘ek. New York, May 29.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: People are actually doing more busi- ness than they realize. They reckon by values, but these are much lower than in any previous year of prosperity and leave little margin for profits. In quantity there is almost as much busi- ness being done as in the years of greatest prosperity, and though the in- crease in population would call for a. material expansion the comparison is not discouraging. The recovery is slow, hesitating and gradual, but more has been done on the whole in‘May than in April, while returns in April showed the volume of business only 10 per cent smalleréthan that of the best year-here- tofore. Yet hesitation is doing its work every week, and multitudes are waiting because of possibilities at Washington who ought to be swelling the demand for labor and the products of labor. Exports of $2,300,000 gold cause no alarm, as they are obviously the results of the premium paid by Russia, and it is well understood that goods imported in May, thus far 51 per cent larger than last year, are supplying wants for ”months to come, while exports of prod- ucts, in May thus far 27 per cent larger than last year, will much increase with— in two months. The treasury is doing well, and the money market has gained $2, 000, 000 from the interior during the week and has no apprehension. The en- couraging increase in the demand for commercial loans still continues in vol- ume as large and in quality of paper of- fered even better than last week. Events have proved that the crop of Wheat going out is much larger than any of the markets expected, and west- ern receipts for the week were 30 per cent larger than last year, while At- lantic exports have been for four weeks 6,315,329 bushels, flour included, against 4,988,777 last year. At this season ac- tual receipts count rather than predic- tions, and the truth is that the country has exported an extraordinary quan- tity of wheat and flour, and yet has so much to spale that prices have not risen more than a fraction of a cent for the w eek. Delay In Manufactures. Manufacturers have especial causes of delay, owing to the possible compe- tition with foreign goods largely im- ported, but there has been no setback in prices, although cotton goods are dull without large demand and print cloths are at the bottom price. It is evident that production far beyond the consuming demand has forced the in- dustry into a. waiting attitude. Distri- bution of all dry goods is at present re- tarded also by cooler weather than is usual at this season. The woolen mills are producing more than they have done for years, though much less than they could or would .like to produce; and manufacturers are doing almost nothing in the wool market, though speculation has kept the sales large. The iron manufacture gains in spite of the closing of some furnaces. he production of pig exceeds consumption and is somewhat decreasing, while the consumption has gradually gained, this week in part because of several struc- tural contracts, including 7,000 tons for this city alone, and in part because agricultural implement works have made larger demands, and also because of the proposed leasing of nearly all the rod mills in the country, which has caused some buying. Pig iron shows no change in price, but it is noteworthy that an advance of 25 cents in the British price of American pig is considered relief, as lessening the urgency to sell southern pig in northern markets. Cotton ties at 50 cents per bundle have quite shut out foreign competition. Leather is weaker in tone without much change in nominal quo- tations, while hides have been raised by packers at Chicago nearly as high as they were last February. The Stock Market. The stock market has not answered the gloomy visions of the pessimists, although advancing only 59 cents per share on the average for railroads and 80 cents for trusts. Transactions have been so small that brokers have realiz- ed but narrow gains. The tonnage of railroads is larger west bound at St. Louis and Indianapolis than last year, but only 3 per cent smaller east boa nd from ‘Chicago than in 1893, though 9 per cent, smaller than last year. Earnings are only 3.1 per cent smaller than in 1892. There. is a little for— eign buying in the stock market and a grotving impression that American securities are better worth holding than Kaflirs or other British" fancies. The money market is undisturbed. and the strong demand for commercial loans continues to give encouragement. Bank exchanges for the month have been only 1.9 per cent less than last year outside New York and 8.5 per cent less than in 1892. Failures for the week have been 214 in the United States, the smallest in any week since Septem- ber, 1895, against 239 last year and 22 in Canada against 20 last year. . Had a. Close Shave. Starkey, N. Y., May 29.—Hiram Pot- ter had a close shave here. He was driving across the railroad tracks when a passenger train came along. Be- fore he could check his team the en-. ‘ gine struck the horses. They were in- stantly killed. Mr. Potter was left sit- , ting uninjured in his carriage. American Officer Killed In Cuba. Havana, May 29.—Colonel Charles S. Gordon, a brave American officer of the Cuban army, was killed in a skirmish between a. body of Spanish guerrillas and 50 Cubans near. Cierifuegos. ,An- other foreign soldier, unknown, was killed, and it is said that important Cu— ban documents were captured. Colvin’s Confidential Clerk. 1 - Albany, May 29.——St_ate Treasurer Ad- dison B. Colvin has appointed John S;— Hosmer of Potsdam, St. Lawrence county, as his confidential clerk. This position was created by the revision of the civil service rules last year. \n THE EVENING GAZETTE. IIOIIE SEGBETS. Mothers Keep .Them;i.'.But .With» a Little Light There Need Be None, How carefully mother guards the se- crets of hel boys and gills. At night as she carefully tucks the bed cloths round them she chides and warns 1h1t mother will be angry if they repeat last night’s offense, softly saying to her- self it s only a habit, but. I must break them of it. This is mother’s mistake. The children cannot help it, and sweet, clean dry beds can be the l esting place of every child when it is understood that the cause is not a habit but a weak- ness that can be cured. Active life of the little ones tends to weakening the kidneys and weak kidneys mean ina- bility to retain the urine. This is a condition not a habit, and should have the same prompt attention you would give to the marked symptoms of any disease. One Doan’ sKidney pill, taken twice a day and at bedtime, will strengthen the kidneys of a child, and in a short time there will be no cause to scold, for the so-called habit will disappear promptly. Her’e s a grateful mother that adds her endorsement to our words: Mrs. William Wood who lives at 130 Colony street, Meriden, Conn, says: “ My little boy of ten years'of age has always been troubled with weakness of the kidneys, causing him to wet the bed. So many mothers punish their children for this, but I know he could not help it. I read about Doan’s Kidney Pills culing incontinence of urine in adults and I thought they might help the lit- tle fellow. I procured a box and their use produced a marked benefit at once. It is very seldom he does it now and I shall continue giving him Doan’s Kid- ney Pills until the kidneys are sound and strong. It is only out of gratitude that I permit publication, but the trouble is a very prevalent one and most people from modesty or difiidence do not speak of it. Physicians do not appear to be able to cope with the trouble and I consider it a mother’s duty to tell others about it when she has found a- specific for this terrible an- noyance.” Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6 boxes for $2.50.

The Call For a Constitutional Convention Overwhelmingly Defeated. Richmond, May 29. —The queriidn of calling a constitutional convention was overwhelmingly defeated at the elec- tion in this state. In all of the coun- oificers were elected under the provi- sions of a. bill passed by the legislature at its last session, and the question of calling a. constitutional convention was submitted to the people at these local eleCtions. All ,the returns thus far re- ceived indicate that the proposition for calling a. convention has met with com- plete defeat. The whole southern val- ley and the greater part of the south» west, so far as heard from, have voted against the question. The only coun- ties reported in favor of it are Char— lotte, Southampton, Surrey and Nan- semond. There was a. small vote cast in this city. Out of a registered vote of about three precincts not reported. This is accounted for by the fact that the only oifice to be filled was that of city treasa urer, and he had no opposition. Some of the old Democrats refrained from voting lest to do so might commit them in the gubernatorial election next fall. The vote on the constitutional conven- 747 for, three precincts to hear from.
