THE DEMAKD FROM THE INTERIOR Continues to be EicessiTe, Thereby Forcing Up the Sates. STEEL FAB MOEE ACTITE THIN IKON. rSrXCTi.1. TXIIPBAX TO THX DISPATCH.1 New Yobk, November 1. Special tele grams to Bradstreet'a point to further mod erate checks in the movement of general ' merchandise from first and second hands, but the bulk of interior jobbers' needs are thought to have been filled. Even now xhe volume of general trade is in excess of that one year ago, the total of October's bank clearings at 50 cities being the largest on record tor one month. Chicago, Kansas City, St. JJoais,!Boston, Philadelphia and New York each report moderate declines in the distribution in some lines. The drouth in Louisiana has hufl the sugar, and unfavorable reather in Ne braska, Iowa, Kansas and Missonri has had Eome efiect upon the interior trade. The mild fluctuations in the Chicago hog pro ducts market did not- prevail here, pork leaving off steady and lard only 1 points down. At "Western centers hogs close Jower, but cattle are steady for better grides. FOEEIGN C03ISIEBCE. Reduced calls for steam tonnage for Black Sea and Mediterranean trade, especially for iron ore, as cabled from London, resulted in weakness in tonnage rates which shows itself here. Sail rates, too, are unsettled. Out of 30 cities with close money markets or slow mercantile collections on October 25, additional ease was reported to-day at New Orleans, and improving collections at Toledo only. Those which showed a ten dency to tighter money to-day are San Prancisco, MilwauKee, Cincinnati and Bos ton. At Omaha, Kansas City. Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York monev was actually closer, with call loans a point'higher at Baltimore and Philadelphia , and np to G12 per cent at New York, against G per cent at the close a week ago. The drain on Chicago banks to the coun try has increased and receipts are not show ing like gains. At New York funds are in short supply, and ,the call loan market is feverish. This is in part due to November disbursements and is regarded as temporary. Bailroad share speculation is quiescent in spite of supposed pending deals. The mar ket at the close of the week was unsettled by an advance in money rates and vigorons bear attacks on the trust securities, which are exceedingly weak on unfavorable dis closures regarding the Cotton Oil Trust. Bonds are active and generally strong, foreign exchange is weak and declining. Demand sterling, 4 84 85. IBON AND STEEL. Steel is relatively more active and has advanced more in price than iron, foundry pig having gained about $3 this year from the lowest point reached, and Bessemer pig about 55. Steel rails are up fully S5G per ton from prices reached earlier this year. None of the steel mills are fully supplied with raw material. There is an apparent lull in foundrv pig iron, with best grades firm at 18i8 50, a gain of about 50c Copper is firm at lie for lake, and in more active demand. Higher rail rates for coal and iron tend to stiffen prices asked. Prices of leading cereals have advanced, wheat being up 11c, Indian corn 2 2c and oats yic Wheat receipts at primary markets are freer, but holders are firmer and ocean steam freights weaker. The gain in price is in the face ot decreased exports and renewed buying by London of Itussian futures. Lighter interior and for ward movement of corn, but better home and foreign demand stimulated prices, while oats sympathized. What flour did not change mr jh in price. AGBICUXTUBAIi EXPOBTS. The exports ot wheat (and flour as wheat) this weet (six days ending to-day) aggre gate 1,593,352 bushels against 2,197,469 bushels last week and 1,342,814 bushels lor the like week last year. Total exports July 1 to date, one-third of the current cereal year, are 34.234,455 bushels, acainst 40,240, 000 bushels in tne like four months of 1888, and 57,603,000 bushels in 1887. Foreign shipments are declining sharply as they did one year ago at this time. Haw sugar shows signs of weakness again on pressure to sell and refined has gone off KGsX cect easily. European crop advices lator holders? Others do not. Coffee op tions have declined about 3540 points on improved Brazilian crop reports. In dis tributing channels the movement is light at irregular prices. Teas, for good qualities are quite steady in price. Infeiior grades have sold off" some. Movement of Louisi anarice is sluggish and prices are weak. Trade with dry goods jobbers at New York and Boston is quiet, but compares well with last year. Cotton goods are in active demand at agents hands for spring delivery and prices generally firm. Wool ens are in light demand. Heavy weight goods have begun to move at a slight ad vance. XHE WOOL MARKET. Interior wool markets are active and higher. At the seaboard manufacturers are showing a slightly renewed interest. Outlook for woolen goods is unchanged. Cotton is 4C lower at New York on equal ization of spot prices with November quotations. Deliveries on October con tracts at New York larger than expected. "Business failures reported to Bradstreet's number 251 in the United States this week against 190 last week and 220 this week last vear. Canada had 35 this week against 26 last week. The total of failures in the United States since January 1 to date is 0,383 against 8,294 in 1888. It. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Money has been working closer during the past week, Jailing to 4 per cent last Sat urday, but then rising steadily to 9 per cent, even more being asked in some cases. It does not appear that the change has any other cause than the demand from the in terior, which continues later this year than usual, and on account of great business activity is unusually large. The foreign situation has not essentially changed, the Bank of England having gained $1,640,000 lor the week, while the Bank of Prance lost $580,000. There is no serious evidence oi an IMPORTANT MOVEMENT of securities either way, but the sale of the Minneapolis (lour mill to an English syn ' dicate for 56,250,000 is a sample or many in dustrial operations in progress, which in the aggregate bring a vast amount of foreign capital into the countrv. The volume of business continues very large, though signs of a reaction begin to appear at some of the larger centers oi distribution. Thus the gain of 9J4 per cent in exchanges at New York last week was due to stock operations, and the clearings at Boston fell below last year's again, and at Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago together the increase was bnt 2.4 per cent, but at all other points together it was over 10 per cent. Prices are stiffening, though the general level has advanced scarcely a quarter of 1 per cent in two weeks. In the speculative market there has been more activity, and.ex cept in pork products and coffee, an advance. These changes call for more money in the movement of products. Liquidation in trust stocks continues, particularly in Cot ton Oil, which has been heavily sold at a severe decline. EATLEOAD STOCKS. Bnt railroad stocks have been very stub bornly helc and average in price almost ex actly as thej did a week ago. Arrange ments between the Chicago and Northwest ern and the Union Pacific, and a rumored sale of the Chicago and Alton look toward ".consolidations of great systems, and in the 1 a projected railroad trust of gigantic ""proportions, bat meanwhile 'popular dis- favor may lead to interruptions by Con gress or 8tate' Legislatures. For the pres ent, at all events, the visible tendency toward consolidation encourages holding of securities, and the traffic in progress is large and profitable. Speculation on breadstufis has advanced wheat X and corn 2y cents on sales of 25, 000,000 and 10.000,000 bushels respectively, bnt exports do not increase. Oil has ad vanced Z cents, oats and cotton i, not withstanding reports continue larger than last year, both receipts and exports showing fains of 40,000 bales for the -week. Coffee as declined y upon larger crop and esti mates from Brazil. The sugar market is only nominal, and prices of refined are not well maintained, bnt the trust stock has been more firmly supported. COOL WEATHER AND COAX. Coal has been stiffened by cooler weather, but still sells about 40 cents below circular prices. Iron and steel in all lorms are in great demand and firmly held, with a shade of advance in bar iron and nails, but the feeling is expressed that improvement has been too rapid to be maintained, and some reaction is deemed possible. xne accounts irom other cities are un usually encouraging. Chicago reports money becoming tighter becanse of demands but no apprehensions regarding the im mediate future. At Pittsburg window glass has been advanced 10 per cent and a rise in coal is expected; iron products firm. At other points trade is full and active for the season. At Detroit the shipyards have good contracts and manufacturing works tullv employed. In general the outlook continues good, though at some points the monetary situation is for the time not en tirely satisfactory. The business failures during the last week number for the United States 229, and for Canada 38, a total of 261 failures, as compared with a total gf 225 last week and 223 the week previous to the last For the corresponding week last year the figures were 243 failures in the United States and 32 in the Dominion of Canada. SUING THE LAKE EEIE. Rirermen Fear ibo Sunken B arses win Interrupt Navigation. The coal operators who owned the barges sunk at the Beaver bridge, O'Neill & Co., Forsythe & Blackburn, W. C. & A. Jutte, have determined to bring suit for damages against the. Pittsburg and Lake Erie Bail road Company, which owns the bridge at Beaver. Captain Jutte said yesterday that they would not be ready to bring their actions until some of their captains returned from down the river and gave full particu lars oi the casualties. The coal shippers are sanguine that they can hold the railroad company for the losses they have suffered, and thev will let the railroad company.look to the Keystone Bridge Company to make itself whole in the matter. As already stated in The Dispatch, the Pittsburg and Lake Erie people will defend the suits by the plea that the matter of the construc tion and removal of the work at the bridge was not in their control ac all, bnt rested solely with the bridge company. Other coal losses were reported yesterday. It was rumored on the wharf that the Sam Miller had sunk a barge by running it against the bauk at Marietta, and also that a barge has been sunk at Grandview. Neither of the reports could be substantiated. Captain George Lysle did not credit the re port concerning the Sam Miller. Some of the river men fear that the sunken barges may prove serious obstructions to naviga tion. The river has fallen so low that the shipment of coal barges has ceased. The marks yesterday indicated 5 feet in the harbor. The Scotia, of the Cincinnati Packet Line, departed down the river yesterday, with a very heavy cargo. This was the first boat of that line to leave this port during the fall season. The Scotia is almost a new vessel, having been completely overhauled. The Abner O'Neill, which has taken the place of the Batchellor since that vessel sank at Beaver last Wednesday, also de parted down, with a good cargo. BUILD1KQ PERMITS ISSUED. - Eight 3Iore New Dwelling Booses to Go Up In the Eait End. The Building Inspector, yesterday, issued a permit to Mrs. Eliza S. Harbaugh to bnild four two-story brick dwellings on Finance street, Twenty-first ward, to cost $4,500. Peter Goettman got permission to erect four irame two-story dwellings on Boqnet street, Fourteenth ward, to cost 50,300. appetite is generally restored to delicate children by the use in tonic dose- of Dr. D.

' Charges Against Ministers Should Not be Thoughtlessly CIRCULATED WITHOUT EVIDENCE. A. Fair Hearing Should be Accorded Before Judgment Is Given. KEW8I K0TES OF CHUBCH PfiOGRESS. Unfortunately at times charges will be brought against ministers pf the gospel. Some of these are true, some are false. It is necessary, however, that these accusations shall be heard and investigation be had into the merits of the case. If, however, there is to be a tiial of a minister by the church authorities, why should he not have as fair a hearing as those who are brought before the bar of justice in our court rooms? Is it not too often true that those who are thus to be tried have to face 'a body of prejudiced inquisitors? Notice the process of judicial inquiry under what is called the congregational polity, Baptists, Congregation alists, Unlversalists and others. Someone starts a story that a minister has gone astray. Too often It is taken up and rolled as a sweet morsel under many a tongue, till charges are preferred. s The day conies for the hearing; but who shall publicly specify the wrong deedsT Those who did the talking. Who shall argue the caseT Those who bring the defendant to trial. Who shall compose the jury to decide on the guilt or innocence of tho accused? The same as brought the complaint. Who shall be the judge to decide what punishment shall be in flicted? The very selfsame ones. So here we have judge, jury, lawyer and accused all in ons combination. What criminal in the land would be asked to submit to such a travesty on justice? Of course a council can be called, bnt there is no op portunity afforded for the one tried to object to any who have responded to the call, although the accused may be fully persuaded of their prejudices. We call to mind one caso whore the charges were not known by the accused till the "Council" met, and. then one of their number when evidence was offered to show the falsity of the accusations, said in the presence of the Council, he "would not believe one word of it,no matter how well authenticated the evidence might be, not even if there were a suck of It" Is not a minister entitled to a fair j ury as well as Cronin suspects? Here is a disease, although we have no medicine at hand to prescribe for its healing. Surely a minister ought to be allowed to object to some jurors as well as others who are on trial; yea, he onght even to be allowed peremptory challenges. Ministers are bnt human. They meet temptations; they fall. Other ministers are just as human. They eet their prejudices aroused so that they are not competent jurors. They may have studied the lane u aces, but forget the old maxim: "Fiat justitia, mat cesium." This is a serious matter, and should receive the earnest consideration of those whose province it Is to direct the churches. . Dear Lord, my heart Is weary and sore-broken, And slfths for rest. On! give me of Thy love some tender token, And make me blest. No longer then shall hatred, race or malice Cause me alarm; My hand In Thine. I'll drain the bitter chalice. And know no harm. 'Tis good to be by earthly friends forsaken. Betrayed, belled. If to the bleeding heart more closely taken. Of Him who died. Church Notes.

J. H. Baldwin, Esq. EXEMPTED FK0M WATEB TAXES. A Recommendation to Slake City Chiefs Genera! Dlannsers. At the meeting ot the Finance Committee yesterday a resolution was presented exon erating the Home for Destitute Women from the payment of water tax for 1838 and 1889. Mr. Robertson said the Home did a great amount of good for the city. It took caroof all the women who come into the hands of the police department, gave them shelter and food for nothing. If this were not done destitute women wonld have to stay at the Central station and the city would be com pelled to pay for their meals. The resolu tion was affirmatively recommended. Mr. Keating moved to amend a pending resolution which fixed the titles of the Chiefs of Departments as "Directors" of Depart ments. He moved to make it "General Manager." His reasons for this were that there are so many "superintendents," "di rectors" and "chiefs" in the city govern ment that the average man has no idea.from the title, of the position of the real head. The amendment was adopted and the reso lution recommended for adoption to Coun cils. ' DIDN'T SEEM 8ANGUINE. No News Received of Ihe Effect of Sir. Porte's Dlliston to Ncir Orleans. Some time ago James H. Porte, Esq., went to Sew Orleans and tnndd an effort to recover some of the money invested in the Louisiana State Iiottery by Harry Plann, who is now doing time for embezzling money from the Marine National Bank. As money could only be refunded on order by the board of directors, nothing but the filing of the application could be effected at the time. Officers of the company agreed to present the petition to the board with a favorable recom mendation. It was thought somethingmight be done yesterday, but last evening Mr, Porte stated that he bad not heard anything from New Orleans, and he talked as though he wasn't overly sanguine that anything wonld come of the mission. There is an impressionamongsome people familiar with business methods that Mr. Flann's investment will be regarded by the' lottery company strictly in the line ot busi ness, and Mr. Porte's manner last evening did not indicate that he hadimilt his hopes very high in the matter.

The Oshkosh Mutual Insurance Company has decided to go oat of business rather than submit tp the ruling of State Insurance Com missioner Cheek, requiring it to comply with the State law which provides that 50 per cent of the cash receipts be set 'asido for reinsur ance. J. Howard Jenkins, Viee President of the company, says that the company is solvent, and that reports to the contrary are malicious. The reports of destitntion in North Dakota are greatly exaggerated. While there are some isolated communities in need of assistance, the statement that "over 100,000 people are in want" does the State injustice. There is some suffering In Bodney and Kelso counties, but aside from these localities it is difficult to locate any one in actual want. The reports sent out from Minneapolis and St, Paul are in most instances highly colored. There Is noth ing in the situation to justify the reports that a famine exists in Dakota.

The University hazing case was resumed at Madison, Wis., yesterday in Judge Keyes' court, A. M. Long, a student, was called on to testify. He refused pointblanE, on advice of counsel, to be sworn or to testify, and pending a decision in the case court adjourned.
