Business Continues to 'Gain 'With
Gratifying Steadiness.
AMANUFAGTURING RE VIVAL
[otton’s Advance Thought to Be Due to
Sympathetic Causes—Mills Resuming
“’1“: a” Bush—Stocks 'Strong.
Failures of the Week.
New York, Aug. 28.——R. G. Dun & Co.’s
weekly review of trade says: Specula-
tive markets have their seasons of reac-
tion, but business has none this season.
gaining with a- steadiness which is most
gratifying. The starting of works, in-
crease in hands employed, advance in
wages and in prices of products, and
the heavy movement of crops, are facts
before which all speculative influences
have to bow. The week’s dispatches
mention 16 iron works which have start-
ed against one closing, 15 woolen works
I started, and so in many other branches,
while many more works have increased
force and many are preparing to resume, '
.and some have increased wages.
While
these things continue—with grain rising
and going abroad in enormous quanti-
ties—money markets have reason for
abounding confidence and speculative
markets for strength. Crop prospects
are contradictory, as usual at such a
time, but it is noteworthy that none of
them indicate anything less than an
ample supply of the great staples.
Wheat rose. over 6 cents Saturday
with exaggerated reports of injury, fell
nearly 8 cents, and has since advanced
over 4 cents, closing 2% cents higher for
the week. That some harm was done
to spring wheat in three states appears,
but no accounts entitled to respect in-
dicate damage reducing the yield below
540,000,000 bushels, which would be 25,-
000,000 larger; than any other crop ex-
cept that of 1891. In spite of great lack
of cars, wheat receipts were 4,349,594
bushels for the week, and for four weeks
15,589,681 bushels, against 14,896,947 last
year, and Atlantic exports, flour in-
cluded, though somewhat checked by
.‘iigher prices, were 3,568,369 for the week,
against 2,207,516 last year, and for four
weeks 13,387,687 bushels, against 7,310,-
177 last year. Receipts of corn bear
strong testimony to the seriousness of
foreign needs, being 6,840,144 bushels for
the week, against 2,813,919 last year, and
Atlantic exports in four weeks have
been 10,466,478 bushels, against 5,617,110
last year. The price closed 1% cents
higher for the week.
Cotton’s Advance.
Sympathy with other markets rather
than reports of injury which capable
authorities deem not important ac-
counts for the advance of three-six-
teenths in cotton, but the mills are re—
suming work with a rush and will re-
.quire heavy supplies of material to
meet the large demand for goods which
has advanced the prices of ma y. A
general replenishment of stocks by
dealers will call for heavy additional
supplies. The wool market also reflects
in greater strength and further advance
in some grades the heavy buying of
woolens which has set many mills at
work night and day and caused makers
of many grades to withdraw them en-
tirely from the order market, but, while
the mills have been buying somewhat
more, most of them hold large stocks,
and the trading has been mainly specu—
lative between dealers.
At last demand has so far overtaken
capacity of iron works that prices are
growing stronger, bessemer and gray
forge 25 cents higher at Pittsburg and
pig in eastern markets as much stron-
ger, because rebates and concessions
are stopped. Billets are $1 per ton high—
er, structural angles, bars and plates
about as much, rods $1.50 to $2.50, and
wire nails 5 cents per keg higher. The
demand is also heavy for merchant,
pipe and steel, and sheets are very ac-
tive. The advance in iron and steel
prices averages 2.7 per cent for the
week. Buying of ore continues heavy,
400,000 tons in two weeks at Cleveland,
and among the iron Works starting are
four more furnaces. While tin is weak-
er at 13.75 cents, with largearrivals,
copper is held at 111/; cents for lake by
large orders and deliveries, and lead is
scarcely obtainable below 4 cents, sales
having been heavy. Connellsville coke
works have increased their output to
123,614 tons for the week.‘
nldes. Leather, Etc.
Hides are again stronger at Chicago, ’
though packers no longer lead. but
country hides are called scarce although
cattle receipts at the four chief mar-
kets, 151,400 head, are the largest for
the corresponding week since 1892. Both
kinds have advanced about equally, 26
per cent since April 29, while in leather,
although a. general advance was made
this week, especially in hemlock sole
and union, the average is not quite 3
per cent higher than April 29, and in
boots and shoes the average is as yet a
shade lower than at that date. While
the dealers are still holding back orders
for future deliveries as far as possible,
the factories are kept busy by unusu-
ally large orders for winter, some hav-
ing ch orders for two monthsahead.
Evidently distribution has exhausted
dealers’ supplies .much more than was
expected, and although shipments from
the east. in August have been the small-
est since.1893, they are not 4 per cent
behind either of the three years, and
are ahead of 1892.
Stocks have been strong without large
dealings, because of the constant ab-
sorption, closing with an average ad~
vance of $1 per share in spite of the
usual reports of foreign, selling. . Rail-
road earnings continue cheering, for
August so far 8.6 per cent larger than
last year and only 4.7 per cent below
those of 1892, while east bound tonnage
from Chicago is larger in August than
in either previous year. Bank exchanges
continue to exceed those of 1892, for the
week 5 per cent and for the month thus
far 12 per cent, being 40 larger than last
year. The commercial loan .market not
only increases in volume, but grows
broader, showing clearly increasing dis—-
tribution as well as increasing produc-
tion, and of the banks reporting, such
loans now average 60 per cent of their
total loans. Foreign exchange is held
near the gold importing point by offer—
ings of bills against future export.
Failures for. the week have been 223
in the United States, against 288 last
year, and 34 in Canada, against 33 last
year. "

IDISOEIMINALING DUTIES.
An Explanation :1- d an Apology Pub-
lished b; Senator Elmndler.
Boston, Aug. 23 -In a. letter to~The
Herald Senator I‘v'illiam E. Chandler
explains the introduction of the clause
of the new tariff. law imposing a 10 per
cent extra duty omall foreign products
coming through t....nada to the Unitec-
States. Senator Chandler holds tha:
the legislation was passed by what is
known as a trick of legislation—that is
by writing it as new matter into a con-
ference report, where it was adopted by
both houses of congress without its be
ing noticed by more than those person:
engaged in the‘scheme. The senato;
points out the fact that the conference
committee went beyond ~its powers
when it inserted. this ela‘borate tricl.~
into a clause of the law, to about onlf‘
five words of which the senate anc‘
house had disagreed.
The trick so much affects New Eng-
land trade, Senator Chandler says, that
each- one of her senators and represent-
atives may be finally called upon tr
state what, if anything, he knows about
it and why he did not expose and try to
defeat it. Continuing, he says:
“‘For myself, I regret to say that I did
not notice what the conferees had done.
Senator Cannon had in open senate
asked whether they intended to do any-
thing but settle differences between the
two houses, whether they intended to
put any new matter into the bill, and
Senator Allison had replied emphatical-
ly that of course they did not, yet the
provision was inserted, and as no at-
tention was called to it in the report it
was passed without being noticed. Hav-
ing had experience with conference re-
ports which should have warned me to
read every word of this report, I have
no excuse to offer for not doing so. I
hope to be forgiven by my constituents.
but I shall never forgive myself.”
THE e. A. a. CONVENTION. _
Comrade Alfred Lyth of Buffalo Elected
Senior Vice Commander.
Buffalo, Aug. 28.—The second day’s
session of the Grand Army convention
was opened today. General Clarkson
presided. The session, like that of yes-
terday, was strictly private. Guards
with muskets were at the doors, and
only Grand Army of the Republic men
wth the countersign were admitted.
Alfred Lyth of Bidwell-Wilkeson post
of Buffalo was unanimously elected
senior vice_ commander. Major A. J.
Smith of his post presented his name to
the convention. The nomination was
seconded by Colonel Shaw, commander
of the department of New York. The
adjutant general was instructed to cast
the vote of the encampment for Mr.
Lyth.
When the nominations for junior vice
commander in chief had been declared
closed, Representative Pickler of South
Dakota, who was chairman of the com-
mittee on pensions at the last congress,
rose and endeavored to nominate a man
from his state. Commander In Chief
Clarkson ruled that he was out of order,
but Mr. Pickler persisted. On a vote
the ruling of the commander in chief
was sustained. Mr. Pickler yielded with
great reluctance.
At 1:25 o’clock Dr. David MacKay. a
practicing physician of Dallas, a vet-
eran of the Seventy-ninth, New York
Highlanders, was elected unanimously
surgeon general of the Grand Army.
The first ballot for junior vice com-
mander did not result in a choice, but
later the adjutant general was instruct-
ed to cast the vote of the encampment
for Francis B. Allen of Hartford, the
candidate of the Naval Veterans’ asso-
ciation.
Carried Off by Pirates.
Madrid, Aug. 28.-—The Portuguese bark
Rosita Faro has been attacked off the
