EKOEMODS GRAIN TEADB AT CHICAGO
tEr-EciAL telegram to the sisrXTCn.t
Xew Tobk, April 4. Special telegrams
to Bradstreet's corroborate previously re
ported indications that, while the volume of
general trade is heavy, there has been a dis
tinct check to the movement of staples to re
tailers' hands ss compared with the dis
tribution some months ago. Improvement
in trade is reported, following more season
able weather at Omaha, San Francisco and
. Cincinnati. There are no signs of increas
ing activity at Boston or Philadelphia. The
overflows along the lower Mississippi Val
ley have checked trade at Kew Orleans, and
even at St. Louis a similar influence has
been felt. Advices from Chicago are mod
erately cheerful.
At Xew York, while the quarter's total of
bank clearings is 4 per cent larger than in
1889 for March, the total this year is 2 per
cent less than in March, 18S9. Bank clear-
ings at S6 cities for March segregated $4,
532,514,831, a gain over a year ago of 1.5
per cent, as compared with an increase of
18 per cent in March, 1889, over 1888. For
the first quarter of 1890 the gain is 5.8 per
cent over the first quarter of 18S9, but the in
crease in the bank clearings in the first
quarter of 18S9 over 18S8 was 17 per cent.
SLOW BXTAIL TKADE.
Special investigation by Bradstreet's into
general trade for the past quarter and into
mercantile collections (at 21 cities) shows
that the late mild winter, low prices and de
pression in the coal trade have had unfavor
able effects upon retail distribution of heavy
wearing apparel and kindred goods, and
the influence of the heavy stocks carried
over by retailers is reflected in a less active
demand than anticipated and slow col
lections at many points, lhere is less dis
counting of bills and small demand for ac
commodation. The only assignable cause for the existing
depression in the iron and steel market, in
the face of the extraordinary consumption
and prospects for a still heavier consump
tion, is found in the fact that the productive
capacity has been developed iu every de
partment to an extraordinary degree. Tne
increase in the production of crude iron
within the past six months amounts to bnt
little less than 50.000 tons per week. The
capacity for puddling, heating and rolling
has also been greatly enlarged. The pig
iron market is dull, prices are low and
there are no signs of an early reactions as
users of all kinds of finished and rolled iron
decline to place heavy orders.
BEEADSTUFrs LOOKETG UP.
"Wheat has not varied in price much.
tending upward toward the close. Be
dnced stocks abroad and crop damage at
home are the stimulating features, lor our
exports have declined visibly, notably lrom
the Pacific coast. The total shipped this
week, both coasts (including flouras wheat)
is 1,521,896 bushels, against 2,401,156 bush
els the week before. From Julv 1 last to
date exports equal 81,215,675 bushels,
against 69,040,120 bushels in a like portion
ot 18SS-9. Indian corn is firmer on lighter
interior shipments and continued heavy ex
ports. Oats likewise are lractionally
higher.
Drives in spring dress goods are the lead
ing featureslf the Eastern drygoods jobbing
trade. A considerable movement has been
effected at rut rates. Trade with agents is
only moderate. Cottou and wool dress goods
show the most notable activity. Prices are,
an a rule, unchanged. Cotton is dull and
unchanged, as is all raw wool.
Keports to Bradstreet's ot mercantile fail
ures throughout the United States during
the first quarter ot the current year show a
total of 3,326 against 3,569 in the first quar
ter of 1889. The aggregate liabilities of
failinc traders are 533,814,301 against $41,
761,096. and actual assets 516,082,212 agaiust
20,376,798 in the first quarter of 1889.
A, CHEERFUL OUTLOOK.
B. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: The first quarter of the year has
passed without the financial disturbance
which many saw reason to fear, with lewer
failures than in the same quarter of last
year, and smaller by 12 per cent, with a
larcer tonnage, than in the same quarter ot
any previous year, and with larger permits
than ever through bankers' clearing houses,
outside of New York. Foreign trade has
been heavier than ever for the season, and
domestic consumption was much smaller
than usual in coal. "Woolens and heavy
winter goods have been at the maximum in
nearly all lines.
The new quarter begins with no appre
hension ot monetary difficulty, with the
general level of prices recovering from the
depression of February, and with signs of
improvement in many quarters, though the
recurrence of failures ot woolen commission
and manufacturing concerns calls renewed
attention to the evil effects of long credits
and to the unusual strain to which it has
been subjected by a succession of two mild
winters.
STOKET IS FAIBLT EAST.
The money market is no longer a center
of apprehension. Beturns of commerce
indicate an increase of exports over im
ports in March, and the tradingin securities
appears to have resulted in no considerable
outgo of capital. The money markets of
the interior are more satisfactory, Boston
noting comparatively little change; Phila
delphia reporting money easy though not
plenty, because of many" large investments
in Southern enterprises; Pittsburg reporting
a fair demand at C to 7 per cent; Chicago
firmness, with ample supply; St. Louis, no
change from t.ie 6 to 7 per cent rate; New
Orleans, au easy market, and of other
"Western cities, Cleveland only reporting
Borne stringency.
The failures of a woolen commission house
here and a manufacturing establishment in
Pennsylvania came just when there were
signs of better demand by manufacturers for
wool at Boston, here and'at Philadelphia.
TABIFF ASD THE WOOL SIABKET.
On large sales concessions are still made,
bnt the manufacturers reason that the pend
ing tariff" bill will probably prevent sales of
the new clip at lower than current rates,
while it may give them a better market for
goods. The long credits demanded on pur
chases of materials by clothing manu
facturers expose this entire department of
industry to exceptional disadvantage where
consumption is from any cause curtailed,
as on account of mild weather it has been.
Beports of the boot and shoe leather in
dustry are nearly all lavorable, and im
provcment.is noted Fast and at Chicaeo, but
strong onposition is made to the proposed
duty on hides.
The coal trade has not been helped by the
various meetings and consultations and
anthracite stove is selling at ?3 50 withbitu
miuou? quoted at S3 25.
IBON" STILL HEAVT.
In the iron business theie is another effort
at Philadelphia to create more encouraging
impressions, but it is now admitted that, in
spite of hopes there entertained, the demand
lor the past quarter has been slow and at re
ceding prices. Southern iron is still pressed
for tales. In bar some little improvement is
seen and the market for structural iron and I
nails is better; but nails are not selling
freely even at 534, the rate quoted, and it is
said that large orders can be placed at lower
Igures.
Conner has been weaker abroad, though
English and French stocks are placed at
20 tons against 95,150 March 1, and
"5 a year ago. Tin is dull, anl the
week for a long time in lead closed
1.65.
of trade from interior cities are
generally favorable. New Orleans notes the
sensational exacgerations of injury by over
flow, but the actual interruption of distribu
tion at the South is sufficient to be felt at St.
Louis. Other "Western cities report a good
business and outlook, dealings generally
equal to or in excess of the last year's trade
to date, and collections really satisfactory
but usually fair, though Cleveland notes
some falling off" in that respect.
Chicago grain trade continnes enormous,
corn receipts for a week being 3,250,000
bushels againsts 250,000 last year, dressed
beef showing a fourfold gain, other meats a
large increase.and drygoods sales a gain over
last year of 10 per cent thus far. At Phila
delphia the leather trade is unsettled, the
drug trade fair, and tobacco more active,
particularly as to Sumatra, because of pro
posed duties, bnt building in March falls
below last year's record.
SAXD SEPARATORS SUED.
Channel Gonffcr In Each Other! Wood In
tho U. K. District Conrt.
The United States Circuit Court devoted
Good Friday to hearing the case of N.J.
Kellar and Thomas E. "Williams versus
Henry E. Stolzenbach et al., D. F. Patter
son and "W. L. Pierce for plaintiffs and
George H. Christy for defendants. It is a
suit for damages arising from alleged in
fringement on a patent for a sand and gravel
separator. Plaintiffs ask for 54,000 damages.
Defendants claim that N. J. Kellar, partner
of P. M. Pfeil, one of the defendants, ob
tained the patent and that Pfeil, one of the
co-defendants, is entitled to its use per
agreement with Kellar. The patent ex
pired May, 1889, and suit was entered in
February of the same year and damages are
only claimed to date of expiration. It had
been determined in a former suit that Pfeil
had a right to use the patent on the boat
which betook when the partnership between
him and Kellar was dissolved. Subse
quently in a suit in equity the infringment
was sustained, and an account ordered.
Subsequently defendants builtanother boat,
on which it is claimed the device was used,
and this suit is for damages for the use of
the device on this boat.
The Court reserved decision.
GDS 0TTERS0S HOME.
He Is In Allegheny, bat Kefnses to Tell
Why lie Lett.
Gus L. Otterson, who disappeared from
his home last fall, returned about 1 o'clock
yesterday morning. He came direct from
San Francisco and went at once to the home
of his father-in-law, James Brown, on Per
ryville avenue, Allegheny. It will be re
membered that he was a member of the
firm of Swindell & Otterson, wall paper
dealers, on Federal street, Allegheny.
He had started for New York on busi
ness for the firm and forgot to return.
It was rumored that he had been done
away with and also that he was afraid to
come back because of a shortage in his
accounts. Detectives were put on his trail,
but were unable to find him. Yesterday
morning he surprised his friends by return
ing. A number of attempts were made to see
Mr. Otterson, but he would not allow him
self to be interviewed. His wife, however,
said he would probably have something to
say in a few days, but could not say any
thing at present. She said she and her hus
band would live together and would stay at
her father's house for a few weeks. Mr.
Otterson's partner, Harry Swindell, said he
did not know why Mr." Otterson had dis
appeared. He had not seen him since his
return.
HIGH SCHOOL CHASGES.
The Committee Fnlls to Agree In the Selec
tion of a Teacher.
The High School Committee met at the
Central Board rooms last night in regular
monthly session. Superintendent "Woods,
of the High School, read bis report for the
month, in which he recommended that in
making up the list of text books the Greek
course be transferred from the 'C" year to
the "B" year, thus giving students two
years on that study instead of three, as it
has been. He also recommended that Shen
ard's text book ou chemistry be substituted
for the Avery text book, which has been in
use for the past 12 years, and that a book of
German poems and a manual of elocution
be added to the list nf High School studies.
The resignation of Miss Elizabeth Jillson,
as teacher of mechanical drawing, was ac
cepted. In an attempt to elect her successor
13 ballots were taken, but no result reached,
and the matter was relerred to the Central
Board of Education. The fight was between
Miss Emmons and Miss Bostwick. They
then adopted all of Superintendent "Woods'
recommendations.
SENATOR QDAY HERE T0-DAT.
The National Chairman' Lighten Word
Awaited With Considerable Interest.
Senator M. S. Quay will come up from
Beaver this morning, accompanied by his
son Bichard, and will proceed to the Seventh
Avenue Hotel. There will be several con
ferences upon State and local matters, and
it is quite probable that some interesting
developments will be the result of the day's
work.
The "Quay Quintet," Messrs. McKean,
Lyon, "Warmcastle, Dravo and Harragh,
have considerable to suggest in the matter
of municipal politics, and the tried and
true adherents of Congressmen Bayne have
lots to say. A great many people are won
dering what the wild waves are saying in
the matter of combative politics, and the
life to be infused into the local situation.
It won't take many words from the Senator
to determine these and many other matters,
and his silver speech will be awaited with
interest.
WHERE THE MATTER, STANDS.
Mr. Francis Itnwle Snjs n Word or Two
About Connt do Montercoll.
Francis Bawle, the attorney of the Knox
ville Land and Improvement Companv,
spent the day in Pittsburg yesterday. Mr.
Bawle is the lawyer who represented the
Countess de Montercoli in Philadelphia
when the Count was circulating his little
tract. In speaking of the event, Mr. Bawle
said:
"He is the most insignificant man I know.
Miss Knox is now in New York, but she
can't get a divorce until she selects a domi
cile somewhere, and stays there lor a vear.
This is true of the New York and Pennsyl
vania laws.bnt even if she did settle down
for a year, if the Count skipped out of the
State at the end of that time, it will avail
nothing. Process couldn't be served on
him."
AIJiEGHEXI CITY SOLICITOR.
A Warm Fight on Between Messrs. Elphln
stone nnd Allston.
It is a hot fight in Allegheny over the
City Solicitorship. David Allston, O. D.
Thompson and the present incumbent,
George Elphinstone, were the original
starters, but Mr. O. D. Thompson dropped
out yesterday. leaving the field to his com
petitors. The fight is waxing warm between Messrs.
Elphinston nnd Allston. There are said to
be recent political developments on the
Northside, which make the fight much
closer than hitherto presumed. The politi
cians are puzzed over the peculiar features
of the fight.
A Skillet n a Weapon.
Mrs. Margaret Datz, who lives on Old
avenue, made an in ormation bc'orc Alder
man Itcilly yesterday charging Mary
Crowan with assault and battery. Mrs.
Datz alleges that Mrs. Crowan struck her on
the head with a skillet. She was arrested,
and committed to jail in default of $300 bail
for a hearing Monday.
In tho Bates for Transporting Pitts
burg Coal to the lakes.
LAST YEAR'S SCHEDULE ADOPTED
At Testerday's Heetinj of the Interested
Railroad Companies.
HOCKING TALLEY PATORED AGAIN
The railroad companies Interested in the
transportation of coal to the lakes met at the
Anderson Hotel yesterday, and reaffirmed
last year's schedule. That is, the rate on
Pittsburg coal will be 90 cents per ton to the
lakes, and the Hockinc Valley 85 cents.
The differential of 5 cents was allowed the
Hocking Valley road after the officials of
the line had solemnly promised to maintain
it. Last year they offered a rebate of 25
cents and upset the markets. Vice President
McCullough, of the Pennsylvania Company,
receded lrom his position to give nothing,
and when this decision was announced the
old rates were re-adopted. All the roads
were represented except the "Wheeling and
Lake Erie, but it is understood that it will
abide by the agreement.
NOT DISCUSSED AT ALL.
The question of radius was not discussed,
and some of the freight agents hoped it
would never come up again.
When "W. P. De Armitt, as representing
the coal men, was asked how he liked the
rates, he replied: "Well, I suppose I ac
cept them on the principle of the man who
thanks God for some favors, and is glad it
is no worse, but how the Pennsylvania Com
rjany can recede from its position to at
least insist on an even rate to
the lakes is what puzzles me. God has
made geography, but the railways make
rates. The geographical position of this
city is unique. On coal going west to Chi
cago we pay 25 cents more per ton than the
Ohio operators, because our distance is
longer; on coal to the lakes we pay 5 cents
per ton more than the Hocking Valley peo
ple, because our distance is shorter. The
position of the railroads is a veritable para
dox, but that is how it stands.
NOT SUEE ABOUT IT.
"Now, I am not so sure that the Hocking
Valley road will maintain the rates or not.
It didn't last summer and it failed
to make anything by it. It up
set the market, and contracts that
Pittsburg operators had made had to be re
duced in price, but it was Pittsburg coal
that was delivered anyhow. The Hocking
Valley people were not any richer by the
operation.
"The problem ol reducing the limit, also,
is not dead. I believe in a fair and equita
ble grouping, because I believe that is one
of the necessities of the evolution of rail
roads. The Imperial Coal Company, in its
suit before tbe Inter-State Commerce Com
mission, made the mistake of attacking the
group in itself, and they lost. It is the in
equalities that should have been pointed
out,"
Card.
Owing to our nnprecedentedly large trade
during March we did not advertise our
opening. Had we done so our trade would
have overwhelmed us. "We desire to say to
the public and onr friends "come with the
rush." "We are convinced that "we are the
people" to suit you in the best styles in cen
tlemen'shats,and,what with Dunlap's as the
leader and all the other best makes and
styles, and our care and attention to your
wants, we cannot fail to please. You may
not be suited it you don't call on us.

An Italian Who Killed nn Invader Is Ac
quitted of Murder.
Utica, April 4. Early one morning last
December James Gilson, a young man re
siding with his parents in Borne, burst
in the door of his father's house,
shouted to his mother that tie was
shot and fell dead at her feet.
She had heen watching for him all night,
and, a moment before his abrupt entrance,
had heard a pistol shot. Michael Cibo, an
Italian living near, was arrested for the
murder of Gilson, and indicted for man
slaughter in the first degree. Forthis offense
he has been on trial at Borne all this week.
The trial developed the fact that Gilson
had twice attempted to gain admittance to
Cibo's house while the latter was away and
while Mrs. Cibo was there with her little
children. On the morning of the murder
he repeated the attempt and had
raised the bedroom window from the
outside and caught the woman by the
arm as she got out of bed and was trying to
pull her out of the window. Cibo was at
home on this occasion, and after calling on
Gilson to desist and receiving curses in re
sponse, shot over his wife's shoulder with
the result stated above.
The case was given to the jury last night
and this morning a verdict of not gniltv was
returned. "When the verdict of the jury
was interpreted to the Italian his demonstra
tions of joy were so great that it was thought
he had become insane.

We will ofier the prettiest line of
Ladies'
Wraps and Shoulder Capes
that ever crossed the ocean. They are
the latest and most exquisite styles of
Berlin and Parisian manufacturers and
were imported by us especially for our
EASTER TRADE.
Unfavorable weather delayed their ocean
passage for a week, which gives us just
ONE DAY to sell them, and that will be
TO-DAY.
We want every one of these lovely gar
ments to grace the form of some fair lady
on Easter Sunday, and the prices we have
put on them will certainly effect the de
sired result.
