swdUiaiM i 6 BUSINESS IS EBBffiG. Bradstreet's Draws a Gloomy Picture of the Trade Situation, MAT, 1890, THE HIGH WATER MAEK. A Better Demand for Iron, Int Prices Still Eemain Unchanged. MONET JIAEKETS ARE RATHEE TIGHT rEFECIAX. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Xeiv Yobk, June 5. Careful inquiry fails to reveal the data necessary to prepare tlie rose-colored reports concerning the con dition of general trade which liave ap peared in some quarters of late. Special telegrams to 'Mradstrccts show quite conclu sively that general business now is, on the whole, declining rather than expanding in volume. This, together with the decrease in the total volume of traffic for five months of 1831 as compared with 1890, must be ex plained away before optimistic trade re ports regarding the existing situation can be accepted. Slay bank clearing totals point unmis takably to a widespread subsidence of activ ity in general trade and speculation through out the country. In May, 1890, bank clear ings reached high water mark. Chicago shows the only gain last month, as com pared with May, 1890, worth mentioning. Total May clearings at 57 cities were $1,810; 254,S33, a decrease of 18.7 per cent 2Tew York City's clearings fell off 23 per cent., while at 56 other cities the decrease was 10.8 per cent. Additional Signs of Dullness. To this exhibit must be added generally quiet raw wool markets (except Cincinnati), little doing in leather and hides, the trade waiting to see what will happen to rubber prices; the demand for coal moderate, prices heavy and further restriction (which thus far has not restricted) ordered as to the an thracite output for June; continued depres sion in the iron and steel industries, despite reported expressions from some centers of "fairly satisfactory demand," etc.; nothing like the volume of lumber moving custom ary at this season; a drouth in the lower Mississippi Valley, which not only restricts general trade, but at the moment seriously threatens growing crops. In brief, buying in most lines continues very consesvative, and in some portions of the West there is a disposition to restrict credits until money is easier. The usual summer dullness is showing itself at several centers. "Wheat and corn crop reports are general ly favorable. Raw and refined sugars are Jc lower on decreased demand. There is less doing in drygoods at wholesale and trade is only fair for the season. But IJttlo Life in Stock Speculation. "While stock speculation maintains a strong undertone on the crop prospects, the stock market is extremely dull. The finan cial outlook, the policy ot the lreasury re garding the maturing 4J bonds, gold ship ments, rumors of foreign financial troubles and European selling of stock all tend to discourage speculative activity. Exports of wheat (and flour as wheat) continue rela tively free. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review says: "While the hesitation in business has not ceased and decided activity is hardly ex pected until the close of the fiscal year, it continues to be a matter of surprise and congratulation that themoncv markets and trade have been so wellsustaned,in spite of heavy exports of gold. The Xew York money market has been easy, rates on call dropping from 3 to 3 per cent, with hcavv rceeiots from the interior. Reports from othercities show that money j js uguivr m flu jLjuuife, iii;jii ai, ..MiMivuie, firmer? 2Tew Orleans and Pittsburg, in hardly adequate supply at Cleveland, not stringent but affected by distrust on account of city finances at Philadelphia, firm ot Boston, in good demand in Chicago and Milwaukee, but with supply for all legiti mate needs and easy at all other points re porting. Shoe, Drygoods and Iron. Trade is not very active, but almost everywhere hopeful." Failures at Boston have made shoe manufacturers cautious. Hides are easy; drygoods quiet, and wool sales moderate. 2so life is seen in iron. "Wool is dull, though some concessions are "made by Western holders. At Pittsburg, the rie in iron is prevenied by the shut-down of Mahoning and She Mango furnaces. Window glass is fairly ac tive, but flint dull. At Cleveland iron is in more demand; trade is good in drygoods, hardware and groceries, and dull in shoes. Some activity is noted at Cincinnati in clothing, and "at Detroit trade is up to last year's in volume, though the late seasonhas made the wool movement slower than usual. Throughout the West and South the fine crop prospects give encouragement. Almost the only complaint now coming from isew Orleans is of drouth in the adjoining region. In the Xorthwest continuous rains have made the prospect unsurpassed. From the Western Metropolis. Chicago reports larger receipts than a year ago of iiour, wheat, cheese, hides, and three times as much wool; smaller receipts of oats, barley and lard, and hut one-third as much of cured meats, with a full trade in drygoods and bright prospects generally. St. .Louis shows a lair volume of trade; Mil waukee great improvement from rains, and St. Paul also, while at Minneapolis the lumber trade is unsurpassed. At Omaha and Denver trade is fair, and at Kansas City dull because of too wet weather. At Louist ille the outlook is good, but at Nashville a heavy drygoods failure causes some depression, and there is no improve ment at Memphis. New Orleans reports trade dull; cotton in fair demand, sugar active, molasses dull and rice quiet and lower. At Savannah trade improves, and at Jacksonville is quite steady. Iron Demand Better, lint Prices the Same. In the great industries there is a better demand tor iron, as yet without change in prices. More orders for structural iron come ironi the break in the building strikes. Es pecial caution appears in the boot and shoe trades, and abuses of credit are being cor rected. In drygoods it is noted that there is no talk of prices, as usual, on the eve of a new season in men's wearing goods, and bus iness is not what was expected, bat the or ders for dressings are far in excess of any previous season. Sales of some cotton goods are recorded at the lowest prices ever made. "Wool moves slowly, but yielding at the wool prospect. Iji breadstuff the decline continues,and wheat is2 cents lower; corn, 2 cents; oats, 1; cents, and cotton also de clined 3-lGc. Pork products are lower, and coffee about c, w hile tin, copper and lead are all stronger. In general, the approach ol a harvest, which is expected to be most bountiful, has its natural effect on prices, and trade is but little embarrassed by specu lative movements. RIOTOUS COLLEGE BOYS. They Engage in Their Annual Itiot Iry Charging Upon the Graduates. Beloit, Wis., June 5. There is consid erable excitement to-day over a fracas of the college and academy students last night. The senior academy class was to have its annual banquet, which event for years has been the occasion lor more or less of a riot. Usually the members of the banqueting class are kidnaped by other classes, or otherwise detained from participating in the festivities. Last night some of the college and academy men made a charge on the gradu ating class. One student was shot in the tide by another, but his wounds are not dangerous. The toa&tmaster was taken from his home under a guard of poliee. There are several bandaged heads at recita tions to-day. It was the roughest event the college boys ever engaged in. END OF THE EVIDENCE. Continued Iran ttrst Page. done my duty to society, so far as the case permits, by insisting that the accused shall never play cards again. " Upon cross-examination by Sir Edward Clarke the Earl of Coventry admitted that when he showed the document to Sir Will iam Gordon-Cummine the latter objected to the phrase, "Clearly pointed out by the Expected to Retain Ills Position. Sir Edward Clarke also" brought out the fact from this witness that when he, tho Earl of Coventry, parted with Sir "WiUiam Gordon-Cumming, he, the witness, believed that the plaintiff would be able to remain in the army and that he would also be able to retain his membership in the Marlbor ough Club, the Turf Club and other clubs to which he belonged. The cross-examination oftheEarlof Coventry was extended to considerable length, but nothing further of an important nature was developed from the testimony which this witness gave. This concluded the case for the defense, and Sir Charles Russell, on behalf of the defense, began his address to the jury. Sir Charles commenced by calling the attention of the jurv particularly townat he classed as the "altered tone of plaintiff's counsel since this damning evidence has been given in favor of the defendants. The plaintiff's hopes have been that after hearing his, the plaintiff's, evidence the defendants would admit that they were mistaken, but hat is impossible." Continuing, Sir Charles Russell asked how the plaintiff's conduct could possibly be considered consistent with innocence. The defendants, he said, had been blamed for not at once publicly exposing Sir "Will iam Gordon-Cumming if he were reaUy de tected in cheating. Strong Character or tho Evidence. But the jury would admit that it was too much to suggest that men honorably be lieving themselves to be acting as the plain tiff's friends should be treated as coming into court and not believing him guilty be cause they did not issue 3gainst him anun merciful edict of irrevocable condemnation. Could anything be imputed to the witnesses to justify the assumption that they were not credible. He had not known in his ex perience five witnesses who gave such con current evidence which was so absolutely untouched by cross-examination. In the middle of his srieech the court ad journed until .Monday, when fair unanes win resume his address. Then Sir Edward Clarke will follow for the plaintiff and the Lord Chief Justice will sum up the evi dence for the jury, which will have to de cide the great verdict. The document signed by Sir "William Gordon-Cumming was worded as foUows: "In consideration of the promise made by the gentlemen whose names are here sub scribed to preserve silence with record to the accusation which lias been made in re gard to my conduct at baccarat on the nights of Monday and Tuesdav, the 8th and 9th of September, 1890, at Tranby Croft, I will on my part solemnly undertake never xo play cards again as long as I live." Welsh Methodists Take a Hand. The Methodists of South Wales concluded iheir quarterly meeting yesterday. Before adjourning they adopted the following re solutions: Resolved, That this meeting learns with regret from tho proceedings in the High Court of Justice that the Prince of 'Wales took part in a game of baccarat at Tranby Crolt on September 8, 1S90, and thus gave countenance to gambling in one of its most insidious and ruinous forms, tho force of his example thus encouraging vice among the people. We respectfully submit to His Royal Iligh ness that by his conduct he offends the reli gious sense of the people and drags the royal house from tho high position in which it stood, and tends to lessen the loving and de voted affection to the throne which nas been ever cherished by us. fcOPEKEVTEXDENT 1VAEKEB, or tho Workhouse; Warden Wright, of Riverside Penitentiary; Judge Ewinc and Thomas M.

Embarrassing Queries Affecting His Bela tions "With a Lady. BUT CLARKE WAS DISCREETLY SILENT New Yoee, June 5. A London cable asks: "To what extent is one. or more of the fairer sex back of the royal scandal that has resulted in the Gordon-Cumminplibel suit now on trial?" This is a question which is being pretty largely discussed by the frequenters of the aristocratic clubs, although they talk of the matter under their breath. It is said there is a story that has not developed, nor is it likely to. There may be a secret history, the bare allusion to Vhich on the part of Solicitor General Clarke, when the heir apparent to the English throne was on the witness stand, might have sounded the social, political and professional death-knell of that eminent counsel. History nidden by Discreet Silence. There may be a scrap of history that, were it uncovered to the light of day, would al most rival the celebrated, and not yet fori gotten, Mordaunt case, when, secure in the knowledge that the unfortunate woman it was claimed had been the victim was to be incarcerated for the rest of her days within the forbidding- walls of an asylum for the insane, the future King of England went into the witness box, and, to use a phrase which has become historical, "perjured, tiimself like an English gentleman" to shield himself in some degree from an out burst of righteous indignation in the face of an outraged public opinion. Solicitor General Clarke, had he been in clined to emulate the example of late Dr. Kcnealy, who bearded the Lord Chief Jus tice in his den and was disbarred therefor, might have asked the Prince of 'Wales some interesting questions which would have thrown additional light on the case, and at the same time have added a salacious aspect to the scandal. A Woman In the Case. He might have been asked the names of the two ladies whose names he scratched from the list of invited quests when he ac cented Mr. "Wilson's invitation to take up his abode at Tranby Croft during that now famous Doncaster week. He might have been asked whether he inserted in the list a name not previously thought of by Mr. "Wilson, viz.: that of Lady Brooke. Pursuing the subject further, the Solicitor General might have asked whether it" was not a notorious fact that the titled lady in question had been an avowed "favorite" for many years, and whether that "favoritism" had not been carried to such lengths as to create more or less talk and scandal, even among the royal intimates who are sup posed to be loyally blind to everything that goes on in which their liege lord is con cerned.. The Princess of "Wales' Jealousy. Giving another turn to the lance, Mr. Clarke might have inquired whether it was true that the Princess of Wales was so out raged by the attentions of her husband toward Lady Brooke that she had. time and time again refused to participate in public and private assemblages where she was likely to meet the woman in question: not onlv this, but that she had made it a rule to socially ostracise all her friends who allowed the Brooke woman to cross their thresholds. Presuming that this question had been admitted and answered, Mr. Clarke might finally have inquired how it, happened, notwithstanding the pledges of secrecy that were made regarding the alleged swindling and cheating, the Prince had violated his own confidence in placing Lady Brooke in possession of the facts, and likewise what the "Wilsons had done to him from the mo ment he and Lady Brooke became guests under their roof; that he had chosen to take the part of the former as against a gal lant officer and a man who, as he admitted himself on the witness stand, had been on terms of the closest intimacy with him and a frequent visitor at his palace for more than a decade. . If these questions could have been put and answered in court just as they are being put and answered in the clubs among people who ought to know whereof they speak, they might have afTorded material for an in teresting additional chapter to the late Charles Bradlaugh's pamphlet upon.

An Agent Claims the Trafilc, of the Road Has Increased Under the Boycott A representative of ' the Chicago and Alton road, who was In Pittsburg yesterday, gives a very flattering report of what the line is doing under the boycott. Between Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City the business has greatly increased and the traffic is good from boycotted territory. The road has a number of agents who work for it exclusively, and at present the line is enjoying advantages it did not have six weeks ago when the boycott commenced. The lines do not like the above word, but havs called the rupture a ''discontinuance of reciprocal relations," which is the same thing. There is not much doubt that the combi nation against the Alton is a conspiracy un der the inter-State law, and the -wonder is that the plucky road does not appeal to the commission and settle the scrabble forever. The Board of Rulings told Parmallee, the transfer man for all the roads in Chi cago, that unless he stopped transferring passengers for the Alton they would break up his business. He was compelled to do so. It is admitted by most railroad men here that the Alton has the best of the fight, and it is only a question of a "short time until the boycott will be raised.

Last week I published the case of little Willie Ilannam, aged 7, -whose parents live on Stanwix street. Jit. Washington. This week I take special pleasure in chronicling tho case of Mr. Thos.

He otten coughed up clots of thick, tough muous, which at times was very hard to raise. The trouble seemed to be all in his head and throat and ho had frequent dizzy spells. The only trouble with digestive system was severe constipa tion. After a thorough course of treatment, both local and general, Mr. Bevington says: "I am entirely relieved of all the distressing symp toms, such as described above, and I think so well of Dr. Byers and his treatment that I propose putting my wife under his care."
