SLOW REVIVAL OF BUSINESS Large Orders For Boots and Shoes—The Wheat and Cotton Returns Point to Good Crops—The Condition of the Iron Industry. New York, June 12.——R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly trade review says: , The gain in business continues, not without fluctuations and at the best moderate, but yet distinct. It is still in quantities rather than prices, although in some branches an advance in prices ' appears, but on the whole the number of hands employed, the volume of new orders and the amount of work done are slowly increasing. Prospects of good crops of wheat and cotton help, grow- ing demand from dealers also helps, and in the money and exchange market large buying of American securities has an influence. Foreign purchases of stocks exceeded sales for the week by about 50,000 shares, and meanwhile commercial bills against products to be moved hereafter are larger than the market will take. The outgo of gold means only that a price sufficient to cover loss by shipment is paid, and the slackened call for commercial loans this week is but evidence that preparations to carry extraordinary stocks of raw material against future operations have been completed by many large manu- facturers. A Healthy Indication. Money coming hither from the west even as late as June ‘10, with great crops near at hand, indicates a healthy con- dition of producing regions. Indica- - tions of the volume of business we seen in clearing house exchanges, which for the week exceed last year’s 8.7 per cent, and in railroad earnings, which amount, in the United States alone, to $33,971,485 on roads reported by Dun’s review for May, 3.3 per cent larger than last year and only .2 per cent less than in 1892. Eastbound tonnage from Chicago is larger than in 1893, for two weeks 100,034 against 98,720 tons. Stocks have gradu- ally advanced the past week, averaging " - for railroads $1.06 higher for the 60 most active stocks and $2.04 for trusts. \Vheat and Cotton. Wheat looks well, and the best trade authority now estimates the yield at 515,000,000 bushels, with many state and railroad returns to support it. The price recovered nearly 2 cents after last week’s fall of over 4 cents, because visi— ble supplies are diminishing, but with 2,970,579 bushels received at western ports in June, Atlantic exports have been, flour included, 3,128,943 bushels against 3,704,827 in one more day last year. The outgo is steady, and since March has been 16,946,382 bushels against 16,115,421 last year, and yet the western receipts have leaped ahead of the exports. The annual report of cot— ton acreage by The Financial Chronicle shows an increase of 5.83 per cent in all the states, and an increase in every state would mean a crop of nearly 9,100,- 000 bales. The market is a. sixteenth weaker, partly because some southern cotton mills are trying to limit produc- tion. Large Orders For Boots and Shoes. Neither cotton nor woolen mills can expect other than a. waiting business With a change of tariff impending, but the demand for bleached goods is steady, though moderate; for print cloths slightly better, at 2.44 cents plus 1 per cent, and for prints good, .though not active. Some large woolen mills are preparing to increase output and have bought heavily. Carpet mills at Philadelphia, which have just resumed after a long idleness, were also buyers, arid all are now running nearly full time. A somewhat better reorder de- mand for woolens is reported, especial- ly in medium and high priced goods and fancy worsteds, without change in prices. The boot and shoe industry has also taken large orders. Prices average about half of 1 per cent lower for the week, while leather is unchanged, and hides again advanced an average of 1.8 per cent at Chicago. Hides are now at the highest point since Nov. 25. The Iron Trade. Iron furnaces in blast June 1 reported a, weekly output of 168,380 tons, against 170,528 May 1, and in unsold stocks, ex- clusive of the great steel companies, an increase of 11,613 tons for the month to 1,050,252 tons. Yet when an accident sent one of the large concerns into the market to buy quickly 50,000 to 60,000 tons of pig the price rose to $9.90 for bessemer at Pittsburg, receding after— ward to $9.75, with gray forge higher at $8.25. The main fact is that production of pig has for some months been much in excess of the demand in the manu- facture of finished products. The gen- eral demand for plates and sheets was better, and for bars much larger east and at Chicago, with some large orders taken at Pittsburg. Philadelphia re- ports decided improvement in finished iron, with fewer concessions, and Pitts- burg llarge structural orders. Failures for the week have been 262 in the United States, against 246 last 'year, and 30 in Canada, against 27 last year. France Congratulates the Czar. Paris, June 12.—President Faure and M.

Two Officers and Twenty-eight Privates Killed—The Mollah Lot Powindah Is Believed to Be Responsible For the Treacherous Attack. Bombay, June 12.-A dispatch receiv- ed here from Simla, the residence of the Indian government officials during the heated period of the year, announces serious trouble on the northern fron— tier and the massacre of a number of British ofiicers and native soldiers in p the government employ. According to the first accounts of the affair two guns belonging to at Bombay mounted battery, escorted by 300 men belonging to the Filst Punjab infant! y were treacherously attacked 111-th Tochi valley by a large force of hostill. natives. Colonel Bunny, 2 officers and 25 privates were killed, and 3 officers and 25 men were wounded. Numbers of mules and horses were killed. The Fighting Desperate. Later reports seem to indicate that. the affair is more than a mere conflict with warlike natives, and that the no- torious mollah of Powindah is at the bottom of the trouble. This account says that a political officer, Mr. McGee, was visiting Shirani with an escort of troops, when he was attacked at Maize. by vastly superior forces. The British troops were compelled to retreat, and were followed for several miles by over~ whelming numbers of the enemy. The fighting was desperate. All the British officers were seriously wounded. Captain Browne of the First sikhs, a son of the late Sir James Browne, and Lieutenant Crookshank of the Royal artillely were killed, and Surgeon Hig— ginson, Lieutenant Higginson of the First sikhs, and Lieutenant Seton— Browne of the Punjab infantry were wounded. The second dispatch does not mention the death of Colonel Bunny, but from the fact that it says that Colo- nel Gray from Miranshah has taken over the command of the Biitish force engaged, it is inferred that Col one! Bunny is also among the dead, as at first announced. The Mollah Actively Plotting. Tochi valley lies north of Gumal and on the road to Ghuzni and Waziristan. It has been controlled by the British since the delimitation of the Indo-Af— ghan frontier. But the tribes there have always been turbulent, and anxiety is felt lest the other tribes rise against the British. The mollah of Powindah is well known to the British Indian authorities. He is a. notorious fanatical priest and has always been hostile to British in- fluence. Owing to an attempt which the mollah recently made to stir up a rebellion he was expelled from British territory. This caused him to be de— serted by his own people, and he has since lived in Afghanistan, and is un— derstood to have been actively plotting against the British. He took part in the attack upon the British camp at Wano in November, 1894, where Colonel A. H. Turner, the British commissioner, was engaged in delimiting the Indo- Afghan frontier, when the British lost about 20 privates and 23 camp followers killed and the W'aziris left over 250 dead on the field. The news of the disaster on the fron- tier of British India has been officially confirmed. Commencement at \Vest Point. West Point, N.
