THE EAST BEGA1KS CONFIDENCE. Fears of Labor Troubles in the Spring a Cloud on the Horizon of the Coal Mining Indnstrj. IKON ACUTE AND GLASS DULL UEKE. Btjortt of the State of Tredt cf All tie Lctiizg Citks of the United States, EFECUX TELIGEAM TO THE DIErATCH.1 New York, Jan. 23. Special telegrams to Bradstreet's from leading trade centers throughout the United States show some signs of revival, due to a normal spring de mand for drjgoods and groceries, and at some points of distribution, hats and caps as well. The week throughout has been one of numerous declines in prices and barely steady quotations, prominent excep tion being sugar, coffee (c each), rubber, oysters, apples and potatoes. The industrial situation is only fair, with a prospect of some disturbance in the spring, if the coal mining organizations all demand an eight-hour day to go into effect May 1, as appears lisely. Ohio and Alabama iron furnaces are not blown in again, yet pig iron is as dull and weak as heretofore. Anthracite coal is weaker, the demand being less active than expected. Uncertau v about silver currency legis lation has brought about a marked dullnes in the share market Doubts of the Railroad Agreement. Investors and speculators are unwilling to take action, and prices are almost stationary on a very limited scale ol transactions. Doubts regarding the success of the new "Western railroad organization also have some effect. A fair demand for bonds is shown. At Boston there is some activity among jobbers in drygoods, as at Hew York and Philadelphia. Demand foryarns has gained. AVool is barely steady. On the whole, spring demand lor textiles is below expecta tions, except at Philadelphia, Chicago and Boston. Cottons are firm. Some makes of bleached are c higher. Print cloths are firmer. Free crop movement depresses cot ton 14c. At Cincinnati there is a fair move ment of general merchandise, as there is at Memphis, Chicago, St. Paul and New Orleans. Trad: is checked at Duluth by un seasonable weather, and collections there are poor. Orders for some staples are feely re ceived at St. Louis, but cotton, wool, hides, lumber, iron and hog products there are all dull. There is a lair spring demand at Omaha, except from the Southwest, where crops have failed. Collections Somewhat Difficult The general tendency of money through out the country is toward greater ease, but mercantile collections are not, as a rule, sat isfactory. Business Jiilures reported to Bradstreet's number 357 in the United States this week, against 360 last week, and 321 this week last year. The total Iroru Jan uary 1 to date is 1,260, against 1,342 last year. In the Province of Quebec the general volume of trade is light and is not expected to improve much before spring. Collections are unsatisfactory and banks are cautious as to loans. Recent failures there are not ex pected to have further serious effects. . In Ontario wholesale trade is active. There have been heavy arrivals of drygoods lrom the United Kingdom. Groceries are firmer. Money is easier. Collections are slow in Manitoba, owing to the farmers holding back wheat for higher prices. General trade is better than a year ago. The Dominion of Canada had 56 failures this week, against 51 last week. The total number from January 1 to date is 176,against 169 last year. Bank Clearings Stftl on the Increase. Bank clearings at 55 cities in the United States for the week ended January 22 are 1,145,279,195, an increase over this week last year ot 3.2 per cent New York Citv's clearings, which constitute CO percenlof the grand total, are a fraction more than those for the same period last year, while at n 54 other cities the gain is 8.2 per cent R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review says: It has been noteworthy throughout recent financial troubles that AVestern centers of trade have been comparatively free lrom disturbance or apprehension, and now the energy and growth ot the West have their eflect in larger trade and stronger confi dence in Eastern centers. In reports of this week, a moderate but steady increase in the volume of business, compared with last year, is the most striking feature. At Chicago a heavy increase m all grain re ceipts and in pure meats and hides is noted, with some decrease in lard and dressed beef; but in drygoods and clothins trade is much larger than a year ago, and somewhat larger in boots and shoes. Kcports Trom the Leading Cities. Trade is healthy and no fears are ob served. At Cincinnati the clothing and shoetrade3 are particularly active. At St Louis trade is strong in nearly all lines. At Kansas City the failure of a bank has scarcely any effect on business. Receipts of cattle are 22,000 and of hogs 34,000, and oanks are taxing care oi their customers. At Minneapolis the lumber demand is un usually good and the flour output 120,000 barrels, and at St Paul trade exceeds ex pectations. Omaha trade is quiet, monev close, and collections backward, and a't Milwaukee unseasonable weather checks business, though money is eay and collec tions very fair. Cleveland reports money a little closer and collections slow, but a lair trade and confident feeling, while at De troit money is easierat 7 per cent and busi ness conservative in tone. The State of Trade in the South. Turnine to the South, we find imnrnvinc business at Hew Orleans; fair receipts of cotton ana a strong martet for sugar, with ample supplies of money. At Louisville, trade opens well and the monetary situation improves. At Jacksonville good trade is noted, and at Baltimore, manufacturers and jobbers are well ahead of last yeir, and there is a large increase in the shoe, leather and hide business. In consequence, East ern centers show more activity. At Pittsburg somewhat more activity is seen in iron, though glass is rather dull and some factories temporarily closed. The iron trade is stiffened by the large decrease in production. The demand for bar dpes not improve, however. Orders for plates are somewhat scarce, and trade in structural iron is only about fair, but in pipes ex cellent The coal trade is comparatively quiet. Copper and tin are steady and lead a little weaker. Farm Products Higher and Lower. The market for breadstufis has been stronger, and wheat has advanced a quarter, corn one cent and oats three-quarters, while pork and lard are a shade lower. Coffee is IS cents per 100 pounds lower than a week ago on small dealings, and oil is three quarter cents higher, but cotton is one-eighth lower. There is no material change in the volume of money in circulation, though the Treas ury has put out $300,000 more of money than it has taken in, and has issued in addition $800,000 more sliver notes. The return of money from the interior pushes the rate downward here, and greater ease is noted at most Eastern points, with a belter demand for commercial paper. The exports of domestic products continue larger than a year ago, and the excess of exports over im ports is so heavy that sterling exchauge does not advance, though sales of stock on torelgn account occasionally appear.

A CHECK SHOViR'S HARD LUCK.. Enough Indictments Against Him to Keep Him In Prison Till He Dies. Joliet, III., Jan. 23. A Rochester de tective leit this city last night-with the notorious check Ebover, Charles Herbert, alias Theodore Mienstermannj alias Carl Iiebert Hcbert was sent up from Peoria for'grand larceny for one year, and his term expired yesterday. The detective was wait ing at the prison doors for him. Hebert's plan was to deposit money in a bank in the presence of some friend then go around and issue checks, being introduced by some one who knew he had money on deposit or by letter from the bank, then draw out his de posit and depart. At Peoria he got 52,000 in this manner. He then went to Rochester, where he secured a large amount and fled to Europe. He had previously beaten business men in New York, Hoboken, Philadelphia and Balti more. He returned to America and was caught in Philadelphia and brought to Illi nois. There are enough counts against him in the Empire State to fill out the balance of his life in prison. WIKDDIQ UP MIT.TTABY 0PEBATI0HS. Alotemcnts of Troops land Indian Police at Pine Kldge Agency. Pine Ridge, S. D., Jan. 23. In ac cordance with amended orders issued to-day regarding the departure of troops, two troops of the Eighth Cavalry marched to Fort Meade. The Seventh Cavalry, and also Capron's battery, started for"Rushville, and will finish the march in two days, when they will be joined by the sick and wounded, who will be moved to-night The cavalry's winter camp will be on the Rush ville road, about six miles from the agency. A company of scouts, to be organized lrom among the Indian police, whose term of enlistment expired yesterday, is to be sent to Fort McKinney under command of an officer of the Sixth Cavalry, and General Miles says be will select the "Indian delega tion to Washington in a couple of days. Captain Baldwin, Inspector of Small Arms' Practice, Division of the Missouri, and a member of General Miles' staff, is very sick, as are also a number of his o filters and men, with severe colds and rheumatism. AN ACCESSORY TO A SUICIDE. A Spiritualistic Medium Arrested for the Ituin He Wrought BEOCKTON, Mass., Jan. 23. Edith An derson, the second oldest daughter of the Anderson family, died last night lrom the effects of morphine administered by the mother yesterday. The other two children are in a precarious condition. The mother was expected to die at any time. This mbrning Mr. George, the spiritual' istic medium who told Mrs. Anderson that her husband was unfaithful to her, which information caused the tragedy, was arrest ed. A police officer is the complainant,and the complainant alleges that on January 2 the defendant was an accessory before the fact to committing the crime of suicide. The prisoner waived the reading of the complaint and pleaded not guilty. Mr. George is well along in years, and has prac ticed astrology for a long time. He was sent to jail in default of $20,000 bail for his ap pearance next Tuesday. CABLE LETTERS covering Europe and Great Britain are exclusive features of the Sunday Issue of THE DISPATCH. STILL GKOWING. Anticipating a Good Business. PRINTING FACILITIES INCEEASED. Percy F. Smith has just erected in his al ready thoroughly equipped printing and publishing establishment, Nos. 53 and 55 Virgin alley, another of CottrellV superb book presses. Three new cylinder presses erected inside of a year tells in emphatic language the growth of this branch of trade in Pittsburg. Mr. Smith's establishment is crowded with orders for fine book, catalogue and color wort, for which these presses are specially designed, and their introduction has caused thousands of dollars worth of printing to remain in Pittsburg that hereto fore was obtained in Eastern and Western .cities. Mr. Smith never allows bis orders to push him very hard. He promptly increases his facilities, invites work and his well filled order files show he gets it. He knows how to advertise judiciously. Pottery and glass manufacturer's cata logues, and fine book and cut work, and in fact everything from a three.sheet illumi nated poster to a visiting card may be ob tained at Mr.Smith's establishment prompt ly and at reasonable rates. Some idea of the extent of the facilities of Mr. Smith's establishment may be formed when it is stated that the pressroom capacity is now 100,000 impressions daily. Because Mr. Smith is always busy is no reason uhy you should not leaveorders with him. If he has not facilities to promptly serve you he will provide them, just as he has done in the past two years to a greater extent than all the printers of Pittsburg combined. Mr. Smith believes in address ing the public when he is busy. Too many merchants wait to advertise until business gets dull, and then there is another wait un til merchants "catch on." Call and examine samples, obtain esti mates, and see the quartet of beautiiul cyl inder presses in operation. BABGATN LIST NO. 4. Pianos S25 Organs S25. (EAST PAYMENTS.)

The only reliable treatment is of a surgical nature extirpation, abd even then It is apt to return in time. I have come across quite a number of polypoid tumors dunng tbe past few years, and always find them associated with catarrh, or a hypertrophic condition of tbe nasal mucus membrane, and have often thought in the light of tbe recent advance ment In the treatment of catarrhal tronbles.il patients would follow these treatments up a few months after removal it would prevent their return. ' a. S. McFalc E. H. Sorter. During tho last Exposition Mr. McFate. of Wurtemburg, Lawrence county, consulted me for nasal obstruction, supposed to be due to catarrh, as be bad the usual catarrhal symp toms. An examination revealed both nostrils filled with clusters of gelatinotd tumors. I ad vised extirpation, ana inside ot 80 minutes had both nostrils free wltb but very little pain and loss of blood. I bad him visit tbe ofhee next mornlug to note tbe result, when be said ho hadn't spent such a comfortable mgbt for a long time and couldn't find words to express his gratitude. 'A few weeks ago Mr. Porter, of the same town, was sent to me by Mr. McFate, as be was troubled tbe same way, excepting tbat his trouble was confined to nasal obstruction, bis general bealtb being good. I cleared both nos trils In tbe same manner wltb like results. Mr. Porter called next day and said bis brother-in-law, with whom be spent the night, noticed ba bad lost his nasal twang as soon as he spoke to him. TBEATMENT to A MONTH.
