' THREE TEARS OP TRADE COMPARED rfPFCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Xnw York, Jan. 8. Special telegrams to Bradstreet't indicate a continuance of dull ness in mercantile circles generally this week. Stock-taking has not been univer sally completed as yet, and where it has been traveling salesmen are only beginning to go out after the holidays. Very wide spread confidence is expressed in the out look for a good spring trade, with excep tions at some poiuts in the South. 'Within another ten days jobbers and others will hae taken the necessary steps to test the nature of the spring demand lor staples of all sorts. There is no gain in the request for pig iron as yet, and for anthracite coal prices have been comparatively weak. Leather and hides are not in active demand, and lumber and rubber only moderately so. Live cattle are dull and featureless, but hogs at 'Western markets are steady. The pack at Cincinnati exceeds that of several preceding years. Decreases Stilt Shown in Clearings. The bank clearings at 44 cities throughout the United States aggregate 555,075,025,000, fully 7 per cent less than.in 1890, and even a trifle less than the corresponding total in 1R89. Xew York City's decreased bank clearings total, it being 60 per cent of the aggregate for 44 cities, was about 10 per cent: the total for 43 other cities, reporting 40 per cent of the clearings of the country, decreased only 2.G per cent in 1891. Sugar is firm, and wheat and flour hold their own on the basis of recent quotations. Available stocks of wheat in the United States and Canada, both coasts, January 1, were 7S,056,000 bushels, 18,000,000 and 16, 000.000 bushels, respectively, more than were held January 1, 1891, and January 1, 1890. Five years ago. however, like stocks of wheat aggregated 18,000,000 bushels more than on January 1. 1892, the excess being chiefly of spring wheat Drygoods and Its Constituent Material. The wholesale drygoods trade generally is -nrpnarittfr to onen snrinp" roods. Cot ton goods are moving slowly, out stocks are well cleaned out and prices are steady. Export demand is light, but shipments of brown cottons in 1891 exceeded in value those of 1S90 by almost 1,000,000. Print cloths at Fall IJiver and Providence continue to improve and heavy trade is ex pected in prints lor spring wear. Ging hams are receiving considerable attention, but woolen goods are quiet and unchanged in prices. Cotton has declined 3-lGc on the week on free crop movement, and the de pression in general trade throughout heavy cotton-producing regions in consequence of this, ig marked. Xo nearby advances in wool prices is looked for at the East, owing to large supplies of the foreign product. Territorial wool is not selling as well as in December. The demand tor Texas, Oregon and California wools at Kastern centers is light A Ia!r rinanclal Situation. Speculation in the New York share mar ket is very active, with marked advances in quotations and increased participation by the public. European interests, 'however, are either passive or have sold stocks, and the manipulation of specialties and over speculation by professional operators has occasioned a sharp reaction, which, how ever, does not essentially check the im proving tendency of quotations. The bond market is active," with a large and steady in vestment demand, and the ioan market con tinues to show the effect of a more than . ample supply of funds. Foreign exchange lis firm on a large inquiry and limited sup ply oi bills. There were 339 business iailures in the United States this week, ajainst 391 in the like week a year ago, and 354 two years ago. Canada has" 40 this week, against a like number one and two years ago. Exports of wheatj including flour, are in creasing again, as per special advices to Uraditreet's, amounting to 5,321,000 bushels within a week, a gain of from 50 to GO per cent over the two preceding weeks, and In dian corn exports for the week equal 2,646, 000 bushels a jump of 50 per cent within a week, while those of rve have declined to 21,965 bushels, and of o'ats to 338,570 bush els, less than one-halt the totals in the week before. Trade in Throe Tears Compared. The probable total output of cereal and other agricultural produce, metals and min erals in the United States in the calendar ,year 1891, together with live stock totals, aromparcd with 1890 and 18S9, and stocks oncnd January 1, 1892, 1S91 and 1890, are as folws: v ll. 1510. 1SSD.

Dun & Co's weekly review of trade says: The first week after the new year has been marked liy some striving events. These changes do not threaten, but promise to help the legitimate business of the country, which over-confident speculation at this time might have embarrassed. The Govern ment issued this i eek its final statement of the yield of heat, corn and oats. The yield of wheat now reported so far, exceedi previous department estimates, and tlio price hns dropped sharply, Z cents for the week, oil sales of only 15,000,000 bushels. Oats also dropped i cent, but corn rose an Ji. large exports actually exceeding those tit wheat for three days ot the week, sustain ing the price. Pork "products are scarcely changed. Oil rose 2Jcents, and coffee a . Cotton has dropped to the lowest price since early in 1849, iz., 7.44 cents for middling uplands. Trade in otner parts of the country Is fair for the season, the now year's quiet not linvlug entirelv paused. In Boston business Is better in some lines. At Philadelphia lib oral orders are noted for spring materials, and whilo trade in other branches is now very light the prospect is considered good. Baltimoi e reports a health v money market, and Cincinnati activity in clothing and mod erate trade in whisky, t Ith a favorable start for the year. ISnsiucss at Two Iron Marts. Cleveland trade is good for the season and -.rolled iioa In good demand. At Pittelmrg the outlook: seems better. Pig iron is strong and finished iron in good demand. Chicago reports some increase in receipts of barley, cured meats, cheeso and cattle. Receipts of oats nearly double last year's; of flour, corn, rye, and dressed beef, fully double, And of wheat three times last year's. Drycoods sales aro llzlit, though payments are better. Sales of clothing and shoes are larger than a year ago, and money is in fair demand with the supply ample for legiti mate trade. Milwaukee finds good indications for the spring trade, and heavy snow helps the lum ber business. At St. Paul trado is quiet, as usual, with excellent prospects. At Minne apolis the car famino is over and the output of flour 172.000 barrels, against 114.000 barrels last year, T ith lumber ale of 1891 exceed ing those of 1S90 by 67,000,000 feet. At St. Louis cold weather causes better trado in heavy clothing, and other trade is season able, the grain blockade having broken. Trade at Kansas City is quiet and money in light demand. The Iron Condition Improved. The great industries report no important change, though in iron a large business is being done and the tone Is improved. Somo improvement is seen in bar and plates, and fair business in structural iron. The coal trade is ragged, though the demand is be yond all precedent. Less demand is seen for cdpper. though large sales have occurred. Tin is caker and lend dull. The money mat ket has been well supnlied at this point, and other markets throughout the North are easier. In brief, the business prospects of the country aro remarkably favorablo for the beginning of a new year, excepting at the Sonth. and while the de pression in that section may considerably affect some trades and branches of manu facture, the uplifting influence of large Northern crops and of unprecedented for eign demand for Northern products gives substantial ground fortho great confidence which prevails. STE0KG TESTIMONY AT VALLEJ0. Evidence Folnt Blank Against Chilean Soldiery at Valparaiso. Vaixejo, CAT, Jan. 8. At the investi gation into the assault upon the sailors of the cruiser Baltimore at Valparaiso Charles Langer, a seaman, testified that he was in the International Hotel with Johnson, who yesterday gave evidence directly implicat ing the men-of-war's police and soldiery in the killing of Boatswain Jlate Itiggins. Langer's testimony to-day was even stronger than Johnson's. According to Langcr, when Iliggius rose the first time, two police men came up, drew sliort swords and knocked him down aiain. They then stood back and let the crowd stab and beat him. Biggins seemed to be asking protection of the police when they knocked him donrn. Afterward a squad of soldiers approached, marching bv twos, under command of a mounted officer. They marched to within six feet from where Johnson was holding Biggins in his arms. There they halted and the first two soldiers leveled their rifles and fired at the two American sailors. "I was about 13 feet off to one side," said Banger. "No one was between me and them, the crowd being back of the soldiers at that moment. 2so other shots were fired by any one. I saw the soldiers distinctly level their rifles at the Baltimore men and fire. The crowd had drawn back, then soldiers came up, leaving a clear passage between Biggin and the soldiers. After the first shot was fired the soldiers pressed forward a little, and I could not see the second rifle fired, but am sure it was one of the leading soldiers that fired."

All Papers Read at TUelr Convention Given to the Resolution Committee. Memphis, Jan. 8. That the cotton farmers of the South are terribly in earnest in their endeavor to solve the problem of over-production, was evinced by the en thusiastic meeting of delegates to the con vention of the Mississippi Valley Cotton Growers' Association, which was called to order this morning by Ira G. Halloway, President of the Association. About G00 delegates from Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and North Carolina were present. Prominent among the other spectators were Governor James P. Eagle, of Arkansas, Governor Buchanan, of Tennessee, and "Private" John M. Allen, of Mississippi. Colonel Stone, of Mississippi, moved that the papers that were read be referred to the Committee on Bcsolutions to be incor porated in a memorial to the people. He was opposed to the word "resolutions," for the bone and sinew of the country might ask vhat right had the convention to pass a lot of resolutions. He favored an jippeal to the people. Colonel Godwin favored pass ing resolutions, then dispersing and going home to work their crops. He advocated forming local associations in every county. Then followed a debate, with the result that a motion prevailed to turn over to the Com mittee on Bcsolutions all papers sent to the convention. PEACE BETWEEN TICKEE COMPANIES. Tlie Peculiar One-Sided riasis Upon Which It Was Reached. Xew York, Jan. 8. nfriaZ.i Peace reigned between the ticker companies to day. The Gold and Stock Company is to pay the Exchange $100 a day for the official quotations furnished by the Xcw York Stock Quotation Company to the Gold and Stock. The 5100 is to he handed over at the close of each day's business. The Stock Exchange reserves the right to revise the Gold and Stock's list of subscribers, and strike off all customers ot whom it does not approve. included in the Gold and Stock's custo mers are the Consolidated Stock and Petro leum Exchange and many hotels, saloons and sporting joints. So the Consolidated is still at the mercy of the elder Exchange, and itmust look out and not do too much business and thus anger the ancient institu tion. The agreement jvas formally reached this morning, 3nd the Gold and Stock's wires were immediately replaced in the Stock Exchange. THE NEW BEEWEEY TEUST. Its Name JIas Not Keen Chosen, Dut the Movement Is on Foot. Cincinnati, O., Jan. 8. Twelve brew eries in Cincinnati, Covington and Newport have agreed to form a combination similar to that of the "Whisky Trust, to improve the quality of their product and to reducing ex penses of production and delivery. Their combined capacity is about 3,000,000 Imrrels per annum, and their capital amounts to about 52,500,000. The new combination proposes to increase its capital stock to 5,000,000. It is possi ble that some of the breweries will be closed if it shall be found more economical to do so. The new combination has not yet de cided upon a name, but the organization will soon be perfected. E3IBROIDEREO SKIRTI KG IXANNEE.
