' TRADE REVIEW.
Iron and Steel Products Show Deer s see
With Competition for Orders.
I. O. Dan A Co., layi Of reaction In busi
ness there Is Don. Efforts to sxplaln It or to
attribute It to this or that temporary Influence
re all wasted. In evsry baslnes men now
perceive the fact that the pnrcbsses In ad.
vanceof current dlstrlt utloo. which were
tnsde when price were booming Involved of
necessity a season of baiting when the rise
stopped, and until the actual demand for con
sumption has been measured.
Iron and steel products are lower, averag
ing 1 per cent for the week and 7 per cent
for the highest. Bessemer, anthracite Ho. 1
bar are quoted lower, while sales below quo
tatlons are frequent Ther Is competition
for orders, most works having little ahead,
and new business Is remarksbly small.
Htructurnl work Is cut down bv the strike ot
house workers here, and quite a num
ber of mills, principally bar, bav stopped
within a few days. The associations re
affirms prices, bnt do not well enough to
keep works busy.
1 be demsnd for cheap boots and shoes Is a
shade better, but many shops are Idle, or
working part time, and buyers generally bold
off, although considerable reductions arsnow
offered by manufacturers, on men's split
shoes and on grain, grain-glove and buff
polish and polka shoes. Hblpments for the
month are at 7 ier cent less than Inst year.
Lecther Is weaker, though only one clsss is
quoted lower but hides at Chicago have again
declined about 3 per cent, and average rela
tively lower than leather and shoe.
Products are lower, without disturbance or
sign of panic. A repmable estimate of ",
OOO.OtJO bushel of wheat excite little remark.
Prices have declined about I cent. Corn de
clined t aoent further. Pork product also
have reason lor weakening; lard 15 cent per
UK) pounds and pork S5 cents per barrel. The
cotton ninrket tins Leon assisted all tho week
by small receipts and remarkably stiff state
ments of scarcity, but tins gained n sixteenth,
Kxports are small, partly because stocks
abroad are heavy and partly because tbo
manufacturer abroad does not find a market
for tho usual quantity of goods, the ltrltlsli
being cepecluliy embarrassed. In this coun
try the cotton manufaotarer has fared better,
escaping on excessive rise and the resulting
decline, iietall distribution baa hardly kept
pace with manufacturer' orders or with sale
to retailers. Tho opening of clay worsteds by
two leadlug mills ut advanced prices bas not
yet been followed by others, aud It is doubted
whether foreign prices, after London wool
sales aext week, will bo hopeful.
Failures lor be week I svo been 320 in tho
United Mates, against :m last year, and 43 In
Canada, against 31 last year.

age by the collapsing ot live floors above.

Control of the Senate.
Not eountlng the disputed seoatorsblp from
Delaware, tbe Itepubiicaa will have 4i sen
ators.requlrlng two more to make a tUHjurity
of the 87 senators holding unchanged seats.
Tbe Uemoorsts will base 80, aod the Pop
ulists 6. When the two Utah senator both
Itepubilcans, are admitted early in the com
ing year, tbe number ot senators will be lu
crested to 80, or 89, allowing for tho Dela
ware vacaney. Forty-six will be a majority
of a full senate, while tbe Itepubilcans will
have only 41, being as tar from a majority as
tbey are now. Tbe admission of tbe Utah
senator and tb decision of the Delaware
contest In their favor will not give them a
majority. As tbe senate, unlike tb bouse, it
a continuous body, and always organized for
business, this complication will not Interfere
with its taking up legislative work at ihe
opening of tbe seloo, as tho old officers will
hold over until superseded by new elections.
