DUN’S WEEKLY REVIEW.
This January is Best Known Since Busi-
ness Records Have Been Kept.
New York, Jan. 22.——With a volume
of business remarkable for the time of
year, 38 per cent. larger than a year
ago, and 10.4 per cent. largervthan in
1892 in payments through clearing
houses. it is not discouraging that one
or two industries are lagging. The de-
mand for most goods is more heavy for
the season, manufacturing works are
better employed, and orders booked
and prospects for the future are more-
encouraging, than at this season in any
other year Of which equally definite
records exist. ‘
The rise of wheat above a dollar in
regular sales was not accompanied by
signs of speculative excitement. In
fact, the continuance of extraordinary
exports, 2,945,705 bushels, flour included,
for the week from Atlantic ports,
against 1,573,215 last year, and for three
weeks 9,002,493 bushels against 5,559,532
last year, besides 4,036,940 from Pacific
ports for threedveeks, would give ex-
cuse for high prices evenif the corn
exports were not enough to suggeSt
great foreign need, amounting to 9,-
270,189 bushels against 10,774,293 for
three weeks. The fact that cargoes of
corn were shipped during the week
‘countries upon which Europe most re-
lies for bfieadstuffs next to the United
States, affected trade not unreason-
ably. Evidently the markets of Lthe
World are this year quite at the mercy
of American supplies, and it is fortu—
nate for this country that the prevail—
ing disposition is to market grain in
large quantities rather than to force
up speculative prices and lessen for—
eign consumption. .
Just when unprecedented production
Of pig iron was causing weakness, ex-
traordinary demand for finished pro—
ducts appears. For ,this season, at
least, the general demand is beyond
precedent,’ including 150,000 tons steel
rails forthe week, and 1,200,000 already
this year, orders for plates so large
that Pittsburg works send away some
to other concerns, unableto fill all they
receive, orders for bar such that many '
concerns are obliged to refuse more.
an excellent demand for sheets, and
fair for structural forms.
The great strike of operatives in cot-
ton "millstof New England seems as
convenient to mill owners with their
.heavy stocks unsold as if they had or-
dered'it. Probably it ,will last long
enough to work off stocks, and the
print cloth market is already about 1
per cent. stronger, while a slight ad-
vance is noted in some other cotton
goods; Failures for the week have been
.7374'in' the'United' States against 409
:last' year, and 53 in Canada against 65
last year.
Mormons ‘Must Leave Virginia.
Norfolk, Va., Jan. 22.—Advices from
Meeklenburg County say that the bor—
der counties of Virginia and North
' Carolina have been invadedby some
. 200 MormOn missionaries.
The large
number of converts-made in the ru-
ral districts by the first delegation of
'elders sent frOm’Utah has encouraged
the Church there to send. a large num-
ber of missionaries to this field. They
travel in pairs-without money or bag-
gage, and depend upon the charity of
the people of the' country through
which they paSS for subsistence. The
farmers along the Roanoke don’t like.
the attempted proselyting of their fam-
ilies, however, and have served notice
‘ on the elders to leave that section at
once. No violence has yet been offer-
ed the Mormons. ‘
-Deadlock in Maryland.‘
State House, Annapolis, Md., Jan. 22.
,—.——Two more ballots for United States
Senator were taken yesterday without
result. It is stated that the prolonged
contest over Hanna’s seat in Ohio will
fade into insignificance in the Mary-
land campaign, unless the McComas
leaders go to the bolting Republicans,
which seems impossible. Equally is it
so with the Shaw men, who will insist
upon a Baltimore city man, at all haz-
ards. Judge 1.icComas and Major
Shaw hold a key to the situation. With
a. full'attendance, and all clinging le-
. gally to their respective candidates,
there can be no election. This is de-
sired by the Democrats, who will make
' no overtures to the Republicans, but
who could if :"they.wished settle the
deadlock at any time.
. It Involves Minions.
Detroit, Mich., Jan. 22.——A special
from Battle Creek, Mich., says: “One
of the largest syndicate deals ever en—
"tered into in this State is about to be
concluded by New York capitalists.
They propose to buy both electric light
plants and the gas plant of this city,
the electric street railways of this city
and Kalamazoo, the new electric road
now in process of construction between
this city and Kalamazoo, the Kalama-
zoo electric plant, the electric light
plant of Albion, the electric railway
and lighting plant of Jackson and the ,
electric street railway of Lansing. The
deal will involve several
lars.
.Cleveland’s Game Preserve.
Trenton, Jan. 22.——Former President
Cleveland has purchased a game pre-
serve situated between Trenton and
Princeton. It is an 85-acre tractof
land and water admirably located. Mr.
Cleveland’s object in buying this prop-
erty is to make a game preserve which
will provide at all times a place for his
friends and himself to go hunting. 0n
the tract will be put quail, pheasants,
partridge, snips, woodcock and numer-
ous other birds, besides rabbit, fox and
squirrel. ' ‘ .
4 _Will Contest Hanna’s Seat.
Cleveland, 0.. Jan. 22.—The ‘ an—
nouncement is made here that Mayor
McKisson will contest the Senatorial
seat f0 Hon. M. A. Hanna. It is an-
nounced that the notice of the contest
has been drawn, and will be forwarded
at once from Columbus to the proper
authorities. The contest will be based
on the ground that Senator Hanna did
not receive enough legal votes to en-
title him to theplace. The anti-Hanna
leaders are confident that they have a
case.

Apprehension as to Continued Agitation
in Congress--Waoh1ngton‘s Defenses.
l

ashington, Jan. 22.—The. fact is too .
apparent to be disputed, that the ad-
ministration and the leaders in Con-
gress who are trying to hold to a con-
servative course are rendered appre-
hensive by the persistent effort to agi-
tate the Cuban question in Congress.
The discussion in the House has con-
tributed to the danger of the situation.
‘ etween hot-headed Spaniards in Cuba-
and impatient patriots in Congress,
there is a possibility of such friction as
might cause a. blaze. .
Every effort of the administration is
being directed toward pacification, but
the difficulties are great, and danger
is‘ always present to a greater or less
degree. 'Republicans who have obeyed
the decree of party policy, are still
grumbling and expressing their impa-
tience to get; a chance to show their
sentiment by a direct vote. This, and
the resentment that may be expected
from the Spanish on account of the ut-
terances on the floor of the House, con-
tribute to the complications and ren-
der it necessary that proper military
'. precautionsshould be taken. ' A rumor
was started yesterday, and afterward
, j denied, that the President was going
both to Egypt and Russxa, the very.
to send a special message to Congress
asking for the appropriation of a mil-
lion dollars for the tranSportation of
troops in case of necessity.
The denial disposes of this story ,but
it is true that Gen. Miles has called
the attention of members of the House
Military Committee to the defenseless
condition of Washington on account of
the lack of powder and projectiles or
the money to buy them for forts Mon—
roe, Foote and Washington, which
guard the approach to Washington by
the Potomac. He has told them., that
these forts can afford no defense in the
absence of ammunition.
This warning may, however, apply
to general conditions and not to the
present crisis. This defenseless state
: of the capital would naturally be a
matter of concern to the general of the
army and the existence of a possibility
of trouble, however remote, might be
availed of to give point to his argu-
ments in favor of a. suitable appropri-
ation. - .

DEMOCRATS ORGANIZE.
Selection of Senator White as. Chairman
Plea-sea the Silver Men.
Washington, Jan. 22,—The selection .
of Senator White, of California, as the
Chairman of, the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee, is pleasing to
most of the silver men. There was
considerable opposition manifest to the-
California Senator earlier in the day,
before the committee met, on the
ground that his silver vieWs were not
strong enough. This Opposition came
principally from .the Southern mem-
bers.
The selection is, however, gen- ‘
’00,...— .. .
erally looked upon as an excellent one,
as the Senator is fully equipped to -‘
make an aggressive campaign for’
members of the lower House.
’The opinion among Democrats in
Congress is that the campaign to be
fought this year will be begun early in
the doubtful States, and. particular at-
tention will be made to those districts
which returned Republican members :
at the last Congressional election by
only small pluralities. . '
'So far the, Republicans have appar-
ently done nothing in the way of or-
ganizing for the campaign, but mem-
bers of that party say thatthe .Re-
publicans will have a splendid organ-
ization for the work. _ They will not
admit that there is any possibility of
the Democrats capturing the next
House but they all agree that hard
work will be requisite in Order to re—
peat the victory won in 1896 for the
cause of “sound money."

‘ La Porte, Ind., Jan. 22.-—An effort is

zen S. Pingree, GovernOr of Michigan,
for the Populist nomination for Presi-
dent. Large and enthusiastic clubs
are being organized, and the movement

Blizzard in Colorado. .
Colorado Springs, Jan.22.-——A blizzard
is sweeping over the State. It is very
cold, and a high wind is piling the
mow in great drifts . The storm is very
severe in the Cripple Creek mining dis-_
:rict. and the wagon roads are impass-
able.

oo'rr YOURSELF.
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
it with urine.
If there is a sediment—
a. powderlike substance—at the bottom-
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 affected.
Any and all diseases of the kidneys,
liver, bladder and of the urinary pas-
sag es and constipation of 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 shduld 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 wort-h
many times its price. ,
Samples Free
If you wish to test Dr. David Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy before buying
it, send your full post-office address to
the the Dr. David Kennedy Corpora-
tion. Rendout, N. Y., and mention this
paper. We will then mail you a sample
bottle free. as well as circulars giving
full directions for its use. Every read-
er of the GAZETTE can depend upon the
genuineness of this liberal offer, and
all sufferers from kidney troubles
should take advantages of it at once.
