DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.
Treasury Receipts Show 3 Stem]:
Increase—Big Output of Iron.
‘New York, Dec. 18.—Close to its
annual holiday and 'halt, the busi-
ness of the year is surprisingly large.
Payments through banks are again-
2.5' per cent.‘ larger than in 1892,
heretofore the year of greatest pros-
perity; , the production ‘of iron? and
woolens and boots and shoes is larger
than ever before; exports eclipse all
past records, and failures fer twc
weeks} have been the smallest for cor-
responding wee-ks i five years. Treas-
ury receipts show a steady increase 1501
the first half of December over previ-
ous months, both in‘customs and inter-
nal revenue, and heavy payments to
Government ‘on Union Pacific account
caused but slight stringency in money
markets, with preparation for large
cancellation of bonds. Probably all rec-
ords are surpassed by exports for this.
year, which 'have been $974,600,000 in
eleven months, and the excessover im-
. ports in five months has probably ex-
ceeded $289,000,000. '
The output of pig iron Dec. ~1' was the
greatest ever known, ~ 226,024 tons
against 213,159 Nov. 1 and 217,306 in No:
vember, 1895, the highest point hereto-.
fore.=,Unsold stocks also decreased in.
' November 29,652 tons, indicating con-
sumption of about 'two hundred and
thirty thousand weekly during the
month. Bessemer declined in the face
of such production 10 cents, and Grey
Forge 25 cents at Pittsburg, without
change in pig at Chicago or Philadel-
phia, and no finished products declined
except bar slightly' at Philadelphia,
though there was general looking for
new orders. Yet the demand was, on
the whole, greater, and- unusual struc-
tural contracts, for the season were
placed, with sales of 10,000 tons steel
rails at New York, and the largest 0r-
ders ever booked by the Illinois Steel
Company, it is said, and unexpectedly
heavy business in plates.
Wheat is just now the backbone of
foreign relations, and Atlantic exports
in two weeks have been, flour included,
7,880,942 bushels, against 5,413,677 last
year, while receipts rose to 12,060,122
bushels, against 6,625,382 last year. The
price gained a fraction in spite of the
speculative decline in Chicago. Corn
exports continue to exceed last year’s,
in two weeks 6,326,894 bushels, against
5,074,626 last year, which is a particu-
larly significant feature. The price rose
but a fraction, and receipts in two
weeks were 8,023,001 bushels, against
5,449,181 last year. -
The cotton manufacture is in diffi-
culty, due to production last‘ year far
in excess of demand, and to partial
transfer of the demand to Southern
mills. Goodsare generally weak, and
the range of prices is now the IOWest
ever known, the reduction in bleached
goods, prints and wide sheetings hav-
' ing caused considerable increase in the
demand. '
The demand for woolen goods is in-
creasing, and some mills are in the
market providing for a greater pro-
duction, though most are still waiting,
and the wool market is remarkably
dull. While prices are said to be held
without change, manufacturers are
hunting for bargains, and foreign wool
in considerable quantity is coming this
way. Prices of woolen goods do not
change, and transactions thus far
made in heavy goods for next season
appear to be mainly at previous prices.
- In actual'performance the boot and
shoe industry runs ahead of all others,
because it surpasses its' greatest weekly
shipments from the East by 9,000 cases. ‘
and its shipment for half of December
last year by 25 per cent, and those of
1892 by 39 per cent. The West is buying
largely in Eastern markets, wh'ile
Southern business is relatively small.
Leather is unchanged, but hides aver-
age 21/.. per cent. at Chicago.
The stock market has been steady,
rising a fraction for railways, with es-
pecial strength in coal and Granger
stocks. Railway tonnage is larger than
for many weeks, and'the Westbound
movement. of sugar, coke, coal, ma-
chinery and railway supplies is heavy.
, FREIGHT COMMISSIONERS MEET.
Seeking to Secure Equal Justice for.-
Shippers in the United States.
Washington, Dec.» 18.—Thc first regu—
lar meeting of the National Association
of Freight Commissioners was held
here yesterday for the general purpose
of effecting a permanent organization.
The members of the associationrepre-
sent commercial bodies in their re-
spective cities, and are charged with
the duty of securing equal justice for
shippers in their dealings with trans-
portation companies. It is not, it is
said, essentially antagonistic to trans»
portation lines, but acts in the capac-
ityof mediator between such lines and
shippers. Another purpose of the or-
ganization is said to be the proper pre-
sentation of the shippers’ side of ques-
tions which maybe at any time under
consideration by Congress.
Addresses were delivered by E. B.
Kelly, commissioner of the Trades
League of Philadelphia, who spoke in
favor of pooling, and by W.- P. Trickett,
of Kansas City. ' .
New Citizens Must Read.
Wjashington, Dec. 18.—-When the‘Im-
migration bill'is taken up after the
holidays it will be promptly passed.
The Democratic and Populist caucuses
of the House have indorsed it, and the '
Republicans who voted for it last year
are still in favor of it. The bill, which
will pass, will provide an educational
test, prescribing that all immigrants
shall be able to readand write at least
one language.
. Cotton Mill Wages Cut.
Boston, Dec. 18,—The directors of the
Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, of
Manchester, N. H., at a meeting held at
the Boston office of the company yes-
terday afternoon, voted to reducethe
wages of its employes 10 per cent. on
Jan. 1. The Amoskéag plant is one of
the largest engaged in the manufacture
of cotton in the country and employs
between eight thousand and nine thou-
sand people.
Stute Ollie-in! Sued.
,Trenton, N. J., Dec. 18.—Former Sec-
retary of State Henry C. Kelsey was
Sued yesterday ‘by Attorney-General
Grey On behalf of the State in the. Su-
preme Court to recover for the State
$25,000 in fees, which Mr. Kelsey re—
tained, it is alleged, illegally. The suit
is brought by direction of Gov. ‘Griggs.

«You can tell just as well as a. physi-
cian whether your kidneys are dis
eased or_ healthy. The way to do is to
take a bottle or glass tumbler, and fill
. If there is a. sediment.—
a powderlike substance—at the bottom
after standing a day and night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys.
Another sure sign of disease is a desire
to urinate often, and still another sign
is pain in the back. If urine stains
linen, there is no doubt that. the kid-
neys are afl’ecte’d.
Any andall diseases of the kidneys,
liver, bladder and of the urinary pas-
sages and constipation 0f the bowel
are cured by Dr. David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy. There is no ques-
tion about its being the«best. and surest
medicine in the world for such trouble.
It. quickly releves and cures inability
to hold urine, and people, young or- old
who take it are not compelled to . get
up a number of times during the night.
For putting an end to that scalding
pain experienced in passing urine,
nothing is so good as Dr. David Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy. It corrects
the bad effects of whiskey and beer; is
pleasant. to the taste, and does not
seem to be medicine at all. Diseases
of the kidneys and. bladder often re
quire the use of instruments to push
back the sandy matter so the urine can
be avoided. In such cases Favorite
Remedy should be taken Without fur-
ther delay or the disease may prove
fatal. 'It is sold for one dollar a bottle
at all drug stores. It is well worth
many times its price. , -
