DUN’S WEEKLY fiEVIEW.
This January is Best Kno'wn Since Busi-
ness Records Have Been Kept.
New,York, Jan. 22,—VVith a volume
of business remarkable for the time of
year, 33 per cent. larger than a year
ago, and 10.4 per cent. larger than in
1832 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
'rcrscrds exist. ' .
The. rise of wheat above a dollar in
regular sales was not“‘accompanied by
signs of speculative excitement.- In
.:‘2rt, the continuance of extraordinary
EILLCI‘CS, 2,945,705 bushels, flour included;
in: the week from Atlantic ports,
against LIZ-73,215 last year, and for three
:C‘s 9.032.493 bushels against 5,559,532
last: year, besides 4,036,940 from Pacific
ports for three weeks, would give ex-
’ once for high prices even if 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
beth to Egypt and Russia, the very
countries upon which Europe most re-
lies for breadstuffs next to the United
States, affected trade not unreason-
ably. Evidently- the markets of the
world are this year quite at the mercy
of American supplies, and it is fortu—
na‘. 3 for this country that the prevail-
:in,;: disposition is to market grain in
large quantities rather than to force
up speculative prices and lessen for-
gn consumption.’

acts appears. For this season. at
.east, the general demand is beyond
precedent, including 150,000 tons steel
rails for the week, and 1,200,000 already
this year. orders for plates so large
that Pittsburg works send away some
to Other concerns, unable to fill all they
receive, orders for bar such that many
son-cents are obliged to refuse more,
an excellent demand for sheets. and
fair for structural forms.
The great strike of operatives in cot-
{£211 mills of New England seems as
enjurcnient to mill o,wners with their

enough 'to work off stocks, and the

Mormons Must Leave_\'i1~givii:t.
Norfolk, Va.. Jan. 22.—Advices from
Mecklenburg County say that the bor-
der counties of Virginia and North
Carolina have been invaded by some
‘Zflfl Mormon missionaries. The large
number of converts made in the ru-
ral districts by the first delegation of
elderssen-t from Utah has encouraged
iihesflhurch 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-'
lilies, 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 DIaryland.
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 ..icComas and Major
Shaw hold a key to the situation. W'ith
a full attendance, and all clinging le-
gally to their respective candidates.
rdxere can be no election. This is de-
sired by the~Democrats, who will make _
no overtures to 'the Republicans, but 1
who could if they wished settle the '
deadlock at any time. '
It Involves llIillions.
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
acncluded 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 million dol- .
l‘ars.
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 tract of
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. On
the tract will be put quail, pheasants,
partridge, snips, woodcock and numer-
ous other birds, besides, rabbit, fox and
squirrel. .
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 the place. The anti-Hanna
leaders are confident that they have a
case.

The New Scientific Treatment, In-
dorsed and Employed by All Not-
cd Physicians, the Only Safe and
Sure Antiseptic Treatment for All
MucousIDiseases, Wherever Lc-
cared, is Tried and Proved in Nor-
walk.
Catarrh and similar diseases of the
. 'mucous membrane have long baffled
the highest medical skill. Arising
exposure and neglected colds, nurtured
in a climate of sudden and extreme
changes, many physicians have seen in
them a threat of the certain depopula-
tion of the country. ,V’Vit-hin a few
years a- certain form of local treatment
has been tried by medical men with
great success; and discarding the old-
fashioued, and dangerous—beCause
useless—treatment by odorous inhalers,
which are doubly dangerous in sudden
climatic changes, by constitutional
remedies which tax the system with-
out benefit, by all the foul and unclean
snufi's and powdered drugs with which
quacks and conscienceless advertisers
have exhausted. the patience of the
public, they have used this new method
in relieving the persistent diseases
that had become so menacing. And
following out the lines of this treat-
ment, patient workers, after long in-
vestigation, have produced a remedy
which, in comparison with the results
of the old method, - is wonderful. It
cures catarrh,eren when extended over
the mucous membranes of the Whole
body. It breaks up the severest
colds at once. It cures deafness
and it prevents "grip,” diptheria, ton-
silitis, hay fever, and all similar trou-
bles. And containing an element
whose odor is the strongest germicide
known, it creates 1n the nasal passages
an atmosphere in which disease germs
cannot l1ve." After using California
Catarrh Cure, as this now famous treat-
ment is named, for twelve hours any
air passing into the lungs will be
charged with this faint and subtle
odor, suliiciently strong to_ destroy
every germ that can exist in the broni-
chal tubes or lung's. And thus, to its
users, bronchitis and consumption are
unknown.
As one proof of what California. Ca-
turrh Cure is doing, we refer you to the
testimony of Norwalk people, whose
names we have been publishing for the
past year.

THE DANGER OVER CUBA.
Apprehension as to Continued Agitation
in Congl‘ess-J‘l’ashington‘s Defenses.
Washington, 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.
Between 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. -lepublicans 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
precautions should be taken. A rumor
was started yesterday, and afterward
denied, that the President was going
to send a special message to CongreSS
asking for the- appropriation of 3. mil-
lion dollars for the transportation of
troops in case ofvnecessity.
‘ The denial disposes of this story ,but
it is true that Gen. Miles has called
the attention of members of the House
l‘lilitary 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 W'ashington, 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
Pleases 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 oppositio manifest to the
California Senator ear ier 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-
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 that the 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
