JTPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TITS DISrATCIM
Xew York, Jan. 22. Special telegrams
to Sradstrat's point to a few evidences of
improvement in general trade. At the
West cold, and at times stormy, weather
served to stimulate further demand for
stocks of winter goods, and some were
cleared out. In other respects the storm's
influence was not favorable, it serving to
check trade, notably at Baltimore, Cincin
nati and Pittsburg.
Inability of Southern planters to make
the customary financial arrangements at
this season iith the usual facility, is re
ported a a factor ia the state of trade in
several directions, although Galveston an
nounces some improvement in business,
notwithstanding the low price of cotton
and slow collections. At Omaha, Chicago,
St. Joseph and Kansas City reports are of
an improving demand, notably for boots
and shoes and staple drysoods, with hard
ware not showing as much interest as ex
pected at this time.
o Gnln In Coal, Iron and Steel.
Leather is firmer at Boston, but dull else
where. Lumber, tobacco, petroleum, an
thracite coal, iron and steel drag along as
for weeks past with no tangible gain in the
demand.
Business failures in the United States
this week number 405, against 379 last week
and 357 in the third veek of January, 1891.
More failures took place in the United
Slates in 1S91, primarily because of lack of
capital and financial stringency, than in
1890, and ihe number traceable to irnud was
more than doubled. Only one-half as many
tailed from outside speculation as in 1890.
For 11 months of 1891 the net earnings of
Itading railroads throughout the country
increased G.4 per cent as contrasted wtlta
like pctiod in 1S90, while the gain in sross
earnings for the like r.ortiun of 1891 was
only 4 per cent. The Grangers, Pacifies
and" Southern railways led in the order
named with the creator percentages of in
crease of net earnings.
The total of hank clearings reported to
Jiradstreet' for 57 cities this 'noek, is ?1,290,
169,82.', or 12.3 per cent more than in the
like week last year.
Vfco!, Cotton aad Drjooils.
"Wool is quiet, users waiting for the next
London rale to fix prices. It looks as if
America ould not be as fully supplied
with ioreijjn wools in 1S9J as last year. It
is j-ta.ed that our direct imports have not
increased, snd the inference is drawn that
ioreisrn shippers believe London prices will
be higher, and Ih's points to probable ini
proement for prices of the domestic pro

active. Xew lines of cotifti goods sre
meeting with fair demand. Sales oi print

The speiilfitive share market has shown
-: Tone on the more pacific outlook of
the Chilean complication. At the fame
time the warlike rumors produced early in
the week caused more or less liquidation,
which was accelerated by the alleged dan
ger of the withdrawal of the Missouri Pa
cific lroui the Western Traffic Association.
Hears Active in Stocks.
Bearish pressure accompanied and aggra
vated the movement, though it vr-n notice
able that fairly large buyingpppearedat the
lower leel of prices, and the market,
though still lacking a decided tendency, is
firm. The Anthracite Coal stocks have
been the subject of much activity, and dis
play strength based on the probable settle
ment of the allotment of production and on
alleged "deals" involving the control of the
Poughkecpsic bridge
The bond msreet is firm t ith a brsk de
mand. The Xew York money market is
oversupplied with loanable funds, and rates
have yielded stiil further. Foreign ex
change, however, continues abnorna!ly
firm, notwithstanding a reduction of the
Bauk of Bnsrland rate and a fair supply of
commercial dralts against grain and provi
sion shipments.
Eiports of wheat this week, including
flour as whcat,from both coasts of the United
States.as reported by mail and wire to Mrad
slreel'x, equal 4.522.219 bushels, an increase
of about 230,000 bushels as compared with
last week. Indian corn exports remain the
feature, villi shipments aggregating over
2,800,000 bushels within six davs as com
pared with 3,321.000 bushels the week be
fore. Exports of oats and rjc remain ct
unimportant porportions after their brief
prominence a month ago.
XI. V.. Dun Jt Co.s Optimistic Review.
B. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review says:
ltcr-orts from every part or the country
exprcr-s even preatcr confidence tlian beforo
in the piospects for trade, while in some
lines definite, though gradual, improvement
is already seen. Humors or coming war
ha c dm ing tho ji-t week not had sub
stance enough to affect money markets or
trade in the least.
The markets lor staple products have been
undisturbed by speculation, which is heldin
check by enormous supplies. Wheat ad
vanced i cents, and receipts nt tho West
have been lighter, on ing to severe weather,
but exports continue large. Corn is coming
iorwaiderv fiecly and has. declined lQ
cents and exports, lor the week 111 proba
bly be verv h-nw. Oats are J cent lower.
but pork nioJucts a i-li-tde stronircr.
Oil has declined cent and coffee ad
vanced Ji cent. In other market no im
portHiit chance in prices is noticed, though
increasing i-trcngth is in pro-peel in the
TOAifeets for iron and steel products. Specu
lations in cotton bus taken courage from
the fact that icceipts h.ive recently de
clined, and the improving market caused a
bettor tone at many Southern points.
The State ofTrade In the East
Itcports from cities indicate some real in
crease in trade, as ell as great confidence
in the future. More activity is seen at 1109
ton in d-goodu and in shoes, though often
at lo er prices. At Philadelphia increasing
sales are seen in rtrvgoods, the Xorthwcst
leading iu purchases, anil better orders for
iron have caused additional furnaces to be
gin lilast.
Cincinnati reports general business open
ing brisk. At Cleveland rolled Iron Is In
active demand, and sow- advance is seen In
ore with large sales. ij,kc n-elghts are con
tracted for at some advance over last year.
At Detroit countiy ordcr-are moie free, and
eoine manufacturers w orking overtime.
At Chicago general trade is larger than a
5 ear ago and collections easier, and an in
crease of a third is seen in floi': and corn
receipts; hut receipts oi Ttheatsnd lard are
double, of rje three times :Uid of dressed
beet four times last year's, r hllo a decrease
i noted only in oat, barley and cured
mtats.
At Milwaukee cold Heather has n good ef
fect, and the demand tor money in the lum
ber and live stock trade is active. At Min
neapolis extreme cold causes a slight de
crease in trad-, but flour Is In better de
. mand, the output being 173,009 barrels,
against 113,000 btrrels last year, lortho week.
At St. Paul prospects of trade are excellent
and money easy, and at Omaha very easy,
with trade improving.
In tlicritlea ot the Southwest.
At St. Louis severe snowstorms since Jan
nary 1 have interfered Ith retail trade, but
wholesale deilcrsflnd no complaint. Col

nd n better feeling prevails,
as yet, improves but little. At
oiue improvement Is seen,
though large supplies of cotton ore still on
hand.
The output of precious metals In 1691 has
been surpassed in only two years, according
to YVclls-Farco's statement, nmounttne to
$31,975,991 gold. $00 611,101 silver, $1S,26I.6G3
copper and $12,"5,7S0 lead. The Mexican
output or silver was $i3,OC0,O00. .
Annual reports of many other Industries
show that the production in 1S91 has rarely,
if ever, uccn equaled, and the new year be
gins with no prospects of decrease In any
important industry. Even the wool manu
facturers appear to have used more wool
last year tlian in any previous year, imports
having been the largest on record.

HAPPENINGS IN THE WORLD OF LABOE
2Jo serious disturbances occurred yester
day in connection with the Manchester
Btreet railway strike beyond the stoning of
cars in a few instances. A large lorce of
police was required, however, to keep the
crowds from becoming riotous, and had it
not been for them there would probably
have been some ugly work. Most of the
disturbance has been raised by mill men
and boys, not strikers.
No cars were sent out on the 'Woods'
Run branch as all attempts have failed.
Both the management and the strikers are
entering suits against each other on the
least provocation. Chief Dispatcher Irwin
was held in 1,000 bail for court on a charge
of assault and battery, preferred by Will
iam G. Gist Thomas Howard, who stoned
a Woods' Kun car, was fined 510 and costs.
J. C. Shoemaker, charged with inciting to
riot, was held in f 1,000 bail for court.
Mayor TFymsn Will Act.
The committee appointed at the citizens'
meeting yesterday called on Mayor "Wyman.
The Mayor expressed his willingness to
bring the matter before the management if
it were possible. Mavor Gourlev was asked
for his assistance, but declined, saving the
strike was placed in the hands of the Alle
gheny officials.
After dark the attempt to run cars proved
rather unpleasant. All the cars that passed
"Washington and Beaver avenues were
stoned. One of motormen on a "Western
avenue car was cut slightly in the face by
glass broken by a brick thrown by the nioh.
The crowd at the "Washington avenne cross
ing numbered about 300. The crowd was
rather noisy and jeered all the passing
motormen and conductors. About 10 o'clock
a brick was thrown through the window of
a "Western avenue car. Superintendent
Mnth was on the car and went on to the
barns. Here he collected 15 officers and
marched on the mob. Ko violence was given
or received, the crowd quietly dispersing.
Crowds collected at Pennsylvania aDd
Beaver avenues and Rebecca and Beaver,
hut no violence was indulged iu further
than hooting. During the day 23 cars were
running, but after dark the number was re
ilnced to seven one on the Rebecca line,
four on the "Western and ttro on the Troy
Hill branch.
Striken Were Not There.
The strikers were in secret session last
evenirg and took no part in the violence.
No attempt was made to operate the "Woods'
Run cars during the day oi evening. The
cars were kept running until 11 o'clock to
accommodate the theater-goers. The man
agement deniea the report that the new men
were compelled to go armed. The company
will endeavor to run a lull force of cars to
day. The Troy Hill branch, where the first
violence occurred, was the most- orderly
last night, no extra police being necessary.
Michael Roth was arrested on a charge of
inciting riot, preferred by General Mana
ger Greenwood. Svhile the patrol wagon
was answering the call a car ran into it,
injuring one ot the horses so badly that it
will probably have to be shot. About
id motors have been burned out in
tho last two days by the inexperienced
men.
About 9 o'clock Julius Kaye, Samuel
Steck and Frank Lobeck wers"arrested,for
trjisg to make trouble at tho Washington
avenue crossing.
AFTER TREASURER FRAZIER.
An Officer of Union "N'o. 10, Painters and
Decorators, in JfctI for Embe7zlimp nt
Accnsrd of Being Short at'Least S500 In
His Areoants.
Thocixi J. Frazier, Treasurer of Local
Union No. 10, Brotherhood of Painters and
Decorators of America, was sued before Al
derman McMastcrs yesterday by D. E.
Alexander for .keeping fraudulent accounts
and embezzlement Frazier lives in Wil-
kinsbor; and is well known there, and also
among labor circles in this city.
For some time, it is said, the trustees of
the union baVe been suspicious of Frazier
and feared that he was not quite straight in
his accounts. An investigation was made
and sufficient evidence was found to seri
ously compromise him. A meeting was
called and it was decided to have him put
under arrest pending a thorough investiga
tion. D. E. Alexander, on behalf of the trus
tees, appeared before Alderman McMasters
Thursday and swore out a warrant against
him, alleging that lie had embezzled $500
from the union and had made false entries
in his bank book to support his assertion
that he had deposited the money in the
Odd Fellows' Bank. Frazier got informa
tion in some mauncr that the suit had been
made and fled. A warrant was placed in
the hands of Dctcctie Al Hirner, who
failed to locate him in AVilkinsburg, but
finally found him yesterday at the house of
L. E. Haid, No. 1121 Pcnn avenue. Fra
zier was remanded to jail to await a hearing
Monday.
Mr. I). E. Alexander was seen last night
and saidthat Frazier had been purloining for
the last four years. The amount, he said,
might probably be from ?SO0 to 1,000. All
the union asks is that Frazier makes repar
ation, as he has considerable property.
Another Signer an the Printers' Scale.
The striking printers were made jubilant
yesterday by the signing of their scale by
the Peck, Phillips, "Wallace Company.
They claim that they will have another
sign'er for Monday. The officers of the or
der are dividing the extra work that the
union houses have among the men.

GOING OUT IN L BLAZE OF GLORY!
This sale, although a success from its very inception, has
with each day assumed more gigantic proportions As wide
gaps were made in the different bargain lines by the continuous
demand of crowds of purchasers, they were filled up with better
grades, and these being sold, still finer qualities took their
places, without, however, raising the prices, until we have ar
rived at the very climax the selling of the Finest Wraps,
Jackets, eta, at the prices the cheapest grades usually bring.
By coming TO-DAY you'll make your DIMES DO THE
WORK O 7 DOLLARS, for it is no exaggeration to say that
many garments are being closed out for ONE-TENTH their
original prices. Thus, for instance, on the $1.50 racks of Ladies'
Newmarkets you will find garments marked down from $15,
$14, $13, $12, $10 and $8, while
