J 8 FECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 JsEW Yoek, Feb. 20. The volume of general trade has tended to decrease rather "than the reverse during the week. Tele prams to Sradstreet's from Philadelphia, Duluth, Omaha and Chicago point in that direction. Mild weather and a disposition on the part of jobbers to discriminate in the matter of credits are largely responsible, thoucn colder weather has appeared at the "West, cumulating the demand to some extent. Jobbing in drygoods has sot improved, nnd the movement of staple groceries is somewhat less than last week. The chief activity in drj-goods is in cotton and wool dress goods. Print cloths are firmer, but brown and bleached cottons are quiet The demand for wool is limited by small stocks of choice at leading markets. Full prices Bre paid for Australians, which are active. Eaw cotton is 3-16 cents lower on a heavy crop movement and the lack of a correspond ing increase in demand. No Sen Life in Iron Yet. Sugar is dull after last week's activity. Tne receipts at New Orleans are checked, as are those ot cotton and of rice. Iron is as dull as ever, the exceptions being some varieties manufactured at "Western centers. Lumber is moving more freely West than East Anthracite coal is in slack demand, with no sign of prices or restriction being maintained. The business failures in the United States this week number 213, against 250 last week end 253 tins week last vear. The total irom January 1 to date is 2,301, against 2,353 last year. Net railway earnings for December show the mtluence of heavy operating expenses upon liberal gross receipts. The exhibit is slightly better than in November or Octo ber. The gain in December, gross, was 5.3 per cent, while in net little or no gain, as compared with December. 1890, was shown. For 12 months of 3890 the net earnings of 13G niilwayJJ companies aggregate S2S1, 65G,137, an increase over 18S3 of 3.8 per cent The gross earnings oi those roads showed a gain of 7.2 per cent. Tne gain during 18S9 over 18SS by 120 railway com panies was 5 per cent in gross, but 12 per cent in net Western and Southwestern Roads. The Central Western roads make the best showing as to net earnings in 1S90, closelv followed by the SoutLwesterns. The Grangers are the only group reporting de creases in net Stock speculation is lifeless though quo tations display a strong undertone and resist bearish attacks. Activity is checked by a tendency to await the adjournment of Con gress. The fact that two half holidays and a full holiday come between last Wednes day and Tuesday of next week, also checks trading. Bonds are firm and dull. The heavy decrease of the available stocks of w heat on the Pacific coast last week,l,075, 000 bushels, was due, no doubt, to enormous clearances of wheat, which aggregated 83G, 211 bushels from Sau Francisco, 120,490 bushels from Tacoma, and 283,000 bushels from Portland, Ore., or 1.239,611 bushels of wheat.lexclusive of the clearances of flour, nggregating from Portland and San Fran cisco about 30,000 barrels. Heavy ship ments to and irom San Francisco point to the desire of holders to get rid of wheat prior to March 1, when taxes are assessed. Tho Exports or Wheat Decreasing. The exports oi wheat (and flour as wheat), both coasts, this -reek segregate 2.0S6.879 bushels, againU 2,236,283 bushels last week nnd 2,272,819 bushels in the like week of 3890. The total exports from the United States and Montreal, irom Julv 1 to date, are 61,420,563 bushels, agiiri-t" 68,507,000 bushels in a 'ike pjrt or 1889-90, 60,600,000 bushels in 1888-89, and 89,900,000 bushels in 38S7-8S. Bank clearings at 56 cities for the week ended February 9 are 51,016,443,69$, au in crease over this week last year ot .9 oi 1 per cent New York City's clearings are 1.5 per cent les than for the like period last year. At 55 other cities the gain is 4.6 per cent The excitement attending the political canvass in the Dominion ot Canada natur ally tends to check the volume ot trade there, Jobbers, notably of drygoods, are not pushing sales at present Collections are not as prompt as desired. Hog products and barley are lower. There is a good de mand for wheat for export. The Dominion of Canada reports 52 failures this week, against 38 last week and 34 this week last year. The total number from January 1 to date is 383, against 356 last year. Decrease of Shipments T"rom Chicago. It. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review savs: There is still much uncertainty about the future of trade. Fastbound shipments from Cnicago lor half of February have been 116.957 toes, against 205,283 last year, a loss of 26 per cent This is mainly due to the shortness of crops, but the output and move ment of iron are also much smaller than a year ago, and the foreign trade here is fall ing below last year's both in imports and exports. The failure of the American Loan and Trust Company has cansed some disturb ance, but the event has no widespead influ ence. The tone of the reports from other cities is generally favorable, though there is complaint of collections from the South because cotton is held back for higher prices. Trace is dull at Memphis and At lanta, and fair only at New Orleans. The prospect is bright at Savannah, and trade js of good volume in spite of bad weather at St Louis and fairly healthy at Kansas City. Minneapolis has an active trade, though in flour the output there is the usual decrease for the season. At Omaha trade is fair, but collections are rather slow. At Milwaukee it is improving. In Chicago and tho Northwest Chicago notes a large increase in wheat movement, but a heavy decrease in dressed beef, lard, hides and wool; sales consider ably above last year's iu drygoods, clothing nnd boots and shoes, and satisfactory col lections. The tributary region is considered in a healthycondition. Confidence is strong and money plenty among dealers. Detroit notes a quiet trade and only fair collections, but at Cleveland and Pittsburg some im provement in iron is noticed, the later re porting finished iron in good demand and blooms strouger, the coke strike having tome influence. At Cincinnati trade is average, especially in drygoods and with the South. The decline of silver below 1 per ounce, at one time to 97J cents, discourages those ,who were looking lora speculative boom in prices. Wheat is 1 cent lower, with sales of 15,000,000 bushels; cotton a quarter lower, with, sales ot 677,000 bales, and oil cents lower. Corn and oats have advanced half a ceut each, and hogs a shade. The exports of cotton continue above last year's, as well as the receipts; but wh-ataud flour exports fill fUr behind, and the movement in provisions shows little increase. Heavy Exports of Natural Products. In January the exports of cotton, bread- Itufli, provisions, cattle ana ou were THUD mm 519,583 in value, against 50,365,724 last year, which points to a heavy excess of ex ports over import's for that month; but the later advance iu sterling exchange and the moderate outgo of gold indicate that the merchandise balance is outweighed at pres ent by the return of securities or the with drawal of other capital previously invested here. To this movement, probably, the laws passed or pending iu some Western States contribute. Thus, the Kansas House has passed a bill to tax all mortgages, notes and bonds, making them not collectable un less by assessors. This and other measures cause much calling of loans and removal of capital. There is a stronger tone in the iron mar ket The coal market is depressed by the enormous output, thus far 984,057 tons, or nearly 30 per cent greater than last year's, and tin and lead are both weaker. During the past week the Treasury has taken in altogether about $600,000 more than it has paid ont. The outgo ot currency to the interior appears to have begun, how ever, notwithstanding the fact that at almost every other city the money market is easy or growing easier, and scarcely one now re ports the market close.

Tho Dramatic Club of the Western Uni versity to Make Its First Appearance on Any Stage on the 26th A Good Play and Strong Cast. Expectation is rife just now as to the manner in which the recently organized Dramatic Club of the Western University will acquit itself on the occasion of its initial performance, at the Pittsburg Club Theater, on the 26th of the month. The club, organized last December, in cludes in its membership men of sufficient dash and determination, as well as of the necessary artistic qualities, to insure the successful representation of any piece which not too ambitious amateurs might care to undertake. The play selected by the club for its first essay at histrionic honors is "Bad Advice," a three-act comedy adapted from Eugene Labiche's "Petits Oiseaux," an other adaptation of which is now having a successful run as "A Pair of Spectacles," in Philadelphia. The plot is briefly as follows: Edmond Blandinet, a liberal-handed old gentleman, lives happily with bis second wife, Henrietta, and his son, Louis. His brother, Francois, is much disgusted at the manner in which his brother lends a will ing ear and helping hand to every impor tunate beggar, and, having proved the writer of a piteous appeal to be a swindler, to works on Edmond's feelings as to make him distrustful of everyone, including his ton and his wife. It is only when, believ ing himself to be ruined, be hnds those he had doubted to be first to come to his as sistance that his mind again becomes clear. There is opportunity for capital acting in the scene where Louis is arrested for debt through his father's refusal to aid him and in the subsequent developments. Henrietta and Laura have both capital parts, and Joseph, as the faithful old family retainer, is a character capable of strong develop ment Miss Lillian Reis, of Allegheny, is cast for Henrietta, Miss Mary Kiddle, Dr. Bid die's daughter, will make a capital Laura, and Prudence in the hands of Miss Betty Scott, daughter of James B. Scott, will be worthily portrayed. Mr. John D. Scott will impersonate .Francois Blandinet, Will iam A. Johnston Francois, John S. Clarke Gustave Amberton, and Charles W. Davis, Dudley A. Liggett, Walter Kiddle, William McD. Dorrington and Harry S. Calvert will sustain the remaining roles. The rehearsals are taking place in the handsomely equipped studio building which was erected some time ago by Mr. Chsrles J. Clarke for his son Thomas. The music of the evening will be furnished by the University Glee Club. The lady patronesses include Mrs. Charles J. Clarke, Mrs. J. B. Scott. Mrs. Benjamin Thaw, Mrs. ll. B. Riddle. Mrs. John Walker, Mrs. W. J. Knbinson and Mrs. M. B. Suydam, from whom tickets may be secured, and from the Dramatic Club, 'the Glee Club and Prof. Henri Kollin Parker.

A Baptist Clergyman in Tennessee Under Honds for Illicit Distilling. Tullamoma, Tenn., Feb. 20. United States Commissioner George W. Davidson had a rather peculiar case before him yes terday. It was that of a Baptist minister who lived in Lincoln county and who has charge of a church. The revenue officers recently discovered a distillery in the rev erend gentleman's smoke bouse, and he was promptly arrested and brought before Com missioner Davidson on the charge of illicit distilling. In his defense the preacher claimed that the still bad not been used for making liquor for years except to make a little for his own family use. The revenue officers, however, found a quantity of singeingswith the still, and that (act, together with other testimony in the case, constrained the Com missioner to bind the preacher over to the uext term of the Federal Court SHIRLEY DAKE writes a letter to THE DISPATCH about manners of women.

Among her many associates in Allegheny and Pittsburg no one is more favorably known or better likod tban Miss Annin Lazarus.
