BUSINESS NO BETTER.
The Latest Commercial Reports fie
ceived by Bradstreet's Are
KOT OP AN ENCOURAGING NATUEE.
Iron Still Continues to be in
Depressed State.
, Decidedly
SPECULATION IS ALSO IN A BAD WAY,
is a Ecsult of tbe Failnrts of tie Eailroad ITtsi
denls' Agreement.
Eeports to Bradstreet's show no general
improvement in trade. Lack of orders and
Southern competition are affecting the iron
business. "Wheat is being bought largely,
but the exports are small. The failure of
the railroad agreement has caused a drop in
speculative matters. A few lines of goods
are more active.
tSFECIAL TEIXGKJOI TO ME SISrATCU.
New Yoek, February 21. Special tele
grams to Bradstreet's are not, on Jhc whole,
indicative of a general improvement in
business throughout tbe country. At New
York, St Louis, Chicago, St. Paul and
Boston fhere has been relatively most im
provement, in seasonable staples only. At
Philadelphia gains are noted in a few lines,
but there is no noteworthy activity. At
San Francisco, Omaha, Louisville, St.
Joseph, Cleveland and Memphis general
trade is about steady, and at Galveston and
New Orleans, where wet weather has inter
fered notably, and at Kansas City, the
movement of merchandise is less active and
not so satisfactory.
Coal at San Francisco has dropped 3 per
ton. Australian wheat reports promise an ex
port surplus of only 3,500,000 bushels,against
10,500,000 bushels a year ago. Louisville re
ports exceptionally heavy Indian corn re
ceipts and shipments, with lack of cars to
supply demand. St. Louis says the snow
in that region is helping grain and fruit.
Reductions of wages of ironworkers ranging
from 5 to 10 per cent are reported from
Beading, Birds boro, Pottsvillc. Pottstown
and other points in Pennsylvania.
IEOJf IK A BAD WAY.
Lack of orders is the reason generally
given. Competition of Southern iron is ad
vanced by one mill. The number of men
affected by the reduction exceeds 3,500. Tbe
prosperity of New England textile concerns
is indicated by the fact that several im
portant concerns are enlarging capacity for
production. "While the inter-State railway
agreement hung fire, stock speculation
hesitated, but vlien at the close ol the week
it seemed likely to fall through, the market
broke and bearish influences became pre
dominant Bonds continue strong.
Money is easy in spite of the resumption
of gold sbimncnts to Europe. Call loans
are 14(2 per cent. Fpreign exchange is
nigh and firm on the absence of either com
mercial or stock bills. Demand sterling
5t88lS9. It is evident that the extra
railway mileage of 18S7 and 1888 to some
extent proved a burden instead of a benefit
last year. The gross earnings of 35 railroad
companies in 1888 were ?C22,G59,427, an in
crease of $20,403,14", about SlA per cent over
those of 18S7. but net earnings aggregated
only 5202,514,611, a decrease of 14,481,990,
or 6 6-10 per cent
Drygoods for spring and summer are in
fairly active jobbing distribution at New
York and Boston. Agents note only a
moderate demand, with a fair movement re
ported on previous orders, and export cot
tons notablyactive. Print cloths are quoted
l-16c lower on slight accumulation of stock,
but manufacturers are slow to sell. Cutting
of prices by jobbers at New York continues
to be noted. Boston jobbers are cot as much
interested in this direction as those of New
York. "Wholesale clothiers Report trade
active, but the aggregate demand is limited
by small individual orders.
CUTTING TEICES.
Price concessions are being made to move
accumulations. Foreign goods are fairly
active, with silks moving in largest in rela
tive volume. Light stocks of raw wool and
strong foreign advices keep values firm.
The actual demand is light Raw cotton is
jl-16 cent higher on the statistical position
manipulation of March delivery and good
demand, u heat has not changed materi
ally since February 15, even with large pur
chases at Akron, Buffalo and other milling
centers, to cover requirements, and con
tinued confidence of the bulls at Minnesota,
Chicago and New York.
Flour is unchanged, and dealers arc
firm. Exports of wheat are exceptionally
bmall, owing to a heavy decrease of the
Pacificcoastshinments. The total exports, as
wheat, equal 666,000 bushels, against 1,270,
785 bushels last week, and 1,796,839 bushels
in the like week of 1888. Heavy buying by
interior millers continues. Hog products,
in sympathy with the "West, are weak and
declining. "Cattle and hogs are in liberal
supply and weak at "Western centers, with
few exceptions. Raw sugar has been in
light demand, and prices are unchanged.
Advices from primary markets favor hold
ers. Refined sugar is steady, with no new
features.
Failures reported to Bradstreet's number
302 in the TJnitel States this week, against
311 last week, and 183 this week last year.
Canada had 57 this week, against 46 last week.
The total of failures in the United States
from January 1 to date is 2,484, against
2,112 in 1S88.'
ABRUPTLY ENDED.
Hash O'Donnell Found Not Guilty Claims
Ho Was Deceived as to I.calicy's Identity
After the Killing of miller.
The case of Hugh O'Donnell, otherwise
known as "OysteriPaddy," charged as being
an accessory after the fact, in the killing of
"William Miller by his brother-in-law,
Daniel Leahey, was taken up jesterday. The
allegations arc that after the shooting, O'Don
nell was aiding leahey to escape.
The piosccution called a number of witnesses
wuose testimony was almost the same as given
at the trial of Leahey, and which showed that
O'Donnell took Leahey to Allegheny and in
troduced him under the same ot McUutchcon.
Richard II. Johnston, Esq., who appeared for
the defense, first placed Hugh O'Donnell. the
defendant, on the stand, and the witness told
his story to the effect that, cm the night of the
shooting he was at the Academy of Music, and
went from there to the restaurant of Charles
Manning, where he met llr. Manning, who first
told him of the shooting, and that it was Will
iam McKcnna who had done the shooting, such
i umor having been current. The witness, after
spending an hour in that locality, went to the
Albemarle Hotel, where he met a man who in
troduced himself ai McCutcbeon, and together
they went to Allegheny. He did not know
Leahey, and had never met him.
Charles Manning and Hugh McManus, Man
ning's barkeeper, were called, and corroborated
O'Donnell as to his visit Thecaso then went
to the jury without argument, and in 20 minutes
they retui ncd a verdict of not guilty.

A Faithless Wife Wnrns Ucr. Hnsband
Tbat She Was Going to Elope,
and &Iio Docs Chasing
Chickens nnd a Heart.
rsTJCCIAL TELEGRAM TO TUK DISPATCH.
Johnsville, Pa., February 21. Mrs.
John Schilling, a lovely brunette of 30
years, startled her husband the other day
by informing him that she loved him no
longer.
""Who do you love?" -snapped out the
startled hnsband.
"Harry Devine," replied the wife. "I'll
be frank with you, so that when you miss
me ycu'll know exactly what I have done.
Our two children you can take to your
parents, for they love them dearly."
The husband, who is a hatter in one of
the factories of the village here, and who
makes S2 50 a day. said: "Well, Sallie,
I'm making a fair living. Our home here
is neat and clean; our children are pretty,
because they look liko you, and I love you
better than any other man in the world ever
will. You had better not run off with that
man. You will rue it bitterly regret it '
all the days of your life."
"No, I will not," said the wife. "I've
made up my mind, and if I get tired of
Harry, I'll not bother you again."
The wife packed up her clothing, and
during the absence of the husband she de
parted with her new lover.
The wronged husband, when asked how
the new love affair originated, said-: "Well,
I blame it all to the Devine chickens. They
flew into our lot and Harry Devine came
over and chased them out. Every time they
flew over Harry would come, and while he
chased the chickens out he also chased my
wife's love for me clean out of her
heart. Then, again, before I knew what
was going on, I stayed at home with our
children, while my wile and Harry Devine
went to church together. It was while they
went to and returned from church that they
planned this elopement."
The injured husband has taken the chil
dren to his parents, sold out his furniture,
broke up housekeeping entirely and is busy
at work in the hat factory, trying to forget
his faithless spouse. The Devine family
has also removed from the place, ashamed of
the conduct of their handsome giant son. for
he stood over six feet tall.

SNEEZING GATARRH.
The distressing sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, the
acrid, watery discharges from the eyes and nose,
the painful inflammation extending to the
throat, the swelling of tho mucous lining, caus
ing choking sensations, cough, ringing noises in
tbe head and splitting headaches how familiar
the symptoms aro to, thousands who suffer pe
riodically,from head colds or influenza, and
who live tn ignorance of the fact that a single
application of Sanfokd's Radical Cuke
ron Catarrh will afford instantaneous relief.
But this treatment in cases of simple Catarrh
gives but a faint idea of what this remedy will
do in the chronic forms, whero the breathing is
obstructed by choking, putrid mucous accumu
lations, tho hearing affected, smell and taste
gone, throat ulcerated and hackine cough
gradually fastening itself upon tho debilitated
system. Then it is that tbe marvelous curative
power of Sanfokd's Radical Cure mani
fests itself in instantaneous and grateful relief.
Cure begins from the first application. It is
ranid, radical, permanent, economical, safe.
Banford's Radical Cuke consists of one

GREATSUFFERING.
"My system had become so poisoned with ca
tarrh that it caused mo great suffering. Tho
tough tenacious mucus in my throat would
choke me terribly. My throat was so inflamed
that I could not swallow without great pain.

pieces of bouc camo from my nose, and it even
ate holes through the roof of my mouth. I had
ringing sounds and much pain in my cars, diz
ziness and belching ot gas from my stomach.
After trying many tieatiaents of various kinds.
I began treatment with the physicians of
tho Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, at No.
