lesagi! ' a .JTHB EETTBBURGr . DISPATCH, FRIDAY, OCTOBER '21, 1893. ) V ' NO CLOUDS VISIBLE. Prosperity Still Hovers Over Commerce of the Country, the THOUGH OUR ElPORTS DWINDLED. Hw.Kew York Stock Uarket Strong lint Somewhat Irregular. MOSEY MARKETS EASY EVERYWHERE New Yoke, Oct. 20. B. G. Dnnn & Co. 'a weekly review of trade says: There is still no cloud in the business sky, unless the itate of foreign trade be one. All home trade ii ot enormous volume, making an aggregate of bank exchanges outside New Tork thus far in October never equaled jn the same month of any previous year. Prices are low, but merchants are pressing for more business at the same rates. AH domestic industries are crowded with orders, and worki, as a rule, are fully em ployed, many being pushed to overtime by the urgent demands resulting from an un precedented distribution "of goods. Money markets are fairly supplied, and there is reason to hope that some return of gold from Europe is not far distant. Exports in September were but $62,949, 26 in vulue, a great decline, due mainly to the fact that last year's movement was far beyond precedent. Shipments of wheat irere little more than half as large cs last year's, and the average price, 80c. Cotton exports irere 21,000,000 pounds less, and the average price, 7.23 cents. Oil exports were 65,000,000 gallons, but the price was 1 cent lower. Minor Exports Nearly Hold Their Own. A good sign is that exports of minor products are, on the whole, nearly as large this year in September as they ever have been. Imports last month were"$72,993,023 in value. Exports of specie last month were $2,324,127 gold nnd 51,190,606 silver, which would have been increased had money not been so-cheap abroad. The money markets are nowhere strin gent, notwithstanding the usual delay of re turns from the "West or from Europe. In this market money has risen from Z$ to 6 per cent on call, and there is a more active and firmer market at Chicago, but nothing like monetary pressure is reported from any quarter. Foreign exchange has de clined from S4 86J Fo fi 86, and indica tions favor a lurtber decline, as the ex ports of products increase. Mraditred'i says: A farther gain in the distribution ot general merchandise is re ported this weeE Dispatches from Cen tral, Western, Southern and Eastern cities chow further gains in the volume of distri bution, aiid, in some respects, a more favor able report comes from the Northwest, which has heretofore lagged in this respect. The situation in iron remains one of re markable strength, and a consensus of fav orable returns comes regarding the great staple. Cotton, too, is stronger, 'and the situation at the South becomes therefore more encouraging. Collections are very generally reported satisfactory, and the tendency is toward further improvement Grain Exports and Railroad Earnings. Exports of wheat this week (flour in cluded equal 3.270,272 bushels from sea ports, both coasts, as compared with 3,625, 000 bushels last week, and 3,500,271 bushels in the third week of October, 1891. Net earnings ot railways during August aggregated 518,973,068, a gain of only 3.8 per cent, or a gain in gross of 5.36 per cant Large increases in operating ex penses more than counterbalance gams in gross receipt. Tnis is particularly true of tne mine lines. "While the underlying tone of the New York share market continues strong, its action, owing to the interposition ot dis turbing factors, has been somewhat irregu lar. In the early days of the week specula tion assumed a decidedly bullish tendency, reports of heavy railroad traffic and earn ings supplementing the influence of a re newed foreign demand lor American securi ties. Later on a reactionary disposition was displayed, the two day-.' Stock Ex change holiday discouraging trading, while the interruption of business from the cele bration in Chicago kept one ot the most im portant speculative elements practicallv out of the market The action of the money market was another unsettling factor. Al though the surplus reserve of the New York banks is now down to nearly 5500,000, there is little real apprehension" of strin gency, and banking authorities are inclined to be'.icvo that the drain of funds to the South and "West, in connection with the crop movement, has reached its limits, and will soon be succeeded by a return flow. BAEDSLET TESTIFIES AGAIN. A Suit In "Which Ills Creditors Will Enjoy Profits From West Side Stocks. Philadelphia, Oct. 2a Ex-CityTreas-nrer John Bardsley reappeared from prison this morning before Examiner John M. Collins and continued his testimony in the suit brought by the city against Mr. Bards ley and the Fanners' and Merchants' National Bank to recover the profits said to have been realized by him in a stock specu lation with city funds. This hearing will practically decide which of Bardsley's heavy creditors shall enjoy the profits that have been realized lrom the Chicago West Side Railway stocks since he was the Treasurer of the city. The price he paid for the stock was 94, and as late as yesterday it was quoted at 219 Nearlv $100,000 worth of stock was originallv pur chased. Eflorts were made by counsel for thereceiver of the Bradford Mills Company, of which Bardsley was the President, to show that the latter had used its stock as collateral for money loaned to him. Bards ley when questioned, however, declared that the loans were made to the company. He denied any knowledge of renewal of notes given for these loans, and declared that as the company had failed to pay them it was none the worse for the transaction. An Unwritten Chapter From the Life of Columbus. It has often caused people to wonder why Columbus was allowed to die neglected after he had given Spain a continent 'Among a quantity of musty manuscript discovered in Castile is found the follow ing, which explains his troubles: "And now nn old man, I, Christopher Columbo, who hath given a new world to Isabella, am dying in neglect because I was unable to fulfill an impossible command. As I sailed from Palos Her Majesty did command me to bring back from this new world a barrel of Camellia flour, which the astrologers said would make the finest bread in the world and milled at an inland city called Pittsburg. As the railroad connections were "bad at the time of my landing and the natives declared there wis no such city, I returned empty handed to meet her 'dis pleasure, leaving the discovery of this queen of flour to the millions'of women who will some day inhabit the new conn try."

Major Doolan and Captain McNib were on the handicapping committee of our mid summer tourney. There was a mutual dis like between them from the beginning. The first open rapture, however, was when each tried to place the other a class below him self, 'For a comparatively new member. Major Doolan was, perhaps, too officious in our counetls. and used the expression, "If you'd take my advice," a little too often. At last, losing patience, Mac, with exas perating seriousness, exclaimed: "Mr. Chairman, I move that the whole business or handicapping be placed in the hands of the distinguished .Irish worrier, Major Barney Doolan!" To which Doolan replied: '"Mr. Chairman, I decline the honor in favofof the illustrious pngilist from PollokshVws." Mao jumped over the table and was pre paring to pummel Doolan, when Dr. Throt tle and Corporal Blithers Interposed. Finally the pair were handicapped Inde pendently, both in tne same class, and neither were satisfied. So determined were the pair to win, they bad each seoured a .coach Blithers for MeNlb and Snlthers for Doolan and both had been-retained as timekeepers. They bad tied for third prize, with 15 wins each, when the followinK de ciding game began: ' "KELSO-CBOSS." Blaek-Doolan. White MeNlb. 5-14 2-25(d) (a) "I believe, sor," said Doolan to Snlth ers, "that move will- relieve me of further associations which are odious, to me good taste and Seir-respect." (b) "Itwnll," observed Mae, "and yon's the reply that will hasten the consummation sq devoutlv to be wished for." (e) Here Mac unconsciously lit his pipes "Mr. Snlthers, I object to smpklng, it', against tho rales," said Doolan, hotly. "There is no such rule in this club," an swered Mac. "Ion are playing according to Anderson," replied Sntlici s. 11 bis was confirmed br a nod from Bllth- ers. "Weel. toobllco ve. I'll nut oot the pipe. hut no gentlemen ould insist on " "Personal ubune to obtain his nefarious .ends," broke in Doolan. "Or bribe others to lose twa cames to get a score. Bis brains could never Win." "Wlio did thalf "You did. with Mnzzlehoffer and Motrat," "It's nn intaiuons slander, Sor. I" ' Come, come, gentlemen," broke in the seconds. For soma moments the pair subsided. AU this persiflaae was meant to divert atten tion from tho real tobject. Doolan wished for 24.19 arter 4-8 and win. And Mao wanted 2-7 alter 23-19 for his Win. (d) Doolan took along time -over the next move. At length Mac" winked at Blithers and said: "What is the time:" "He has one minute yet," replied Blithers. J'l protest, sor, at this insidious interrup tion of me calculations." "Oh! were ve calculating! Then I crave yer pardon; I thought ye were taking a wee nap, an' I dldna want the game by default," "Timer called Blithers. Doolan moved 4 8.
