1 NR\V YORK , March 23.-U. O. Dun &
Co.'a Weekly Kovlcw of Trade will say In
tomorrow's Issue :
A waiting state of things always hinders
business to some extent. With more than
fJI.004,000 gold received or on Its way elnco
this movement began , with ample bank re
serves and treasury reserves , and a redemp
tlon of notes In all ways nearly a third
smaller than'In February , to date ; with no
stringency In the money market , and ster
ling exchange weak ; with the. volume of
business nt clearing houses outside of New
.York larger than In JSS2 by 6.9 per cent
this month , nnd with failures nearly 30 per
cent smalter than last year and u2 per cent
fltrmller than In the same jnon'h of 1S92 ,
there Is not much visible grounds for panic ,
even If earnest efforts should fall to keep
peace with honor.
Warlike reports come every day , and stock
operators make the most of them , and yet
the average of prices of railroad stocks
ure $33.03 , against J33.20 two weeks ago to
day. Nor have Industrial operations been
Iterceptlbly affected except wheie cxtra-
ordlriary buying for s-onie weeks past has
ma do necessary n pause for breath , so to
epeak , or when ? unnatural prices had caused
a halt before the destruction of the Maine.
Home decrease In new encasements would
Ibc expected , with war apparently near , but
MS yet scarcely any Irdlcatlon of decrease
tor that i canon Is seen.
It Js dllllcult to take dismal views when
the nation Is surpassing all records In mir-
ketlng productH. Atlantic exports of wheat
tfor tbe week have been 2,1GO,82 < ; bushels ,
against 1.27.,2Sfi bushels last year , and In
ifour weeks 9,302,511 bushels , Hour Included ,
ugulnst , fi,101,423 bushel'last year , with 1'a-
clllo export. ! 4.232.0J2 bushels , against S9J.2I2
Inishcls last year. The prlco has declined
2 % cents , but the heavy shipments nnd con
tracts for export are having a constant In-
llucnce.
Corn has declined only a small fraction ,
with exports not a sixth lower than a year
JlRo to date.
Cotton has fallen a sixteenth In spite of
large exports , because s'llen of fertilizers
uul other evidences Indicate that curtail
ment of acreage this year will be lews than
-was expected. Domestic exports from New
"
"York In t\vi > weeks have b = on $9,10WO ; ( , or
S7.8 per cent larger than last year , while
Imports have been scarcely larger , foie-
fihadowlng exports again oxceedlns JIO CO-
000 for the month mid J2looooiX > over Im-
poilH. In siioli conditions no stringency In
mioney Is needed' to bring money hither.
Sales of wool have been only 11,111,000
3ioiind3 In three weeks nt the three chief
Diiarkets , ngalnst 40,01)3,200 pounds laat. year ,
mud quotations are yielding , with sales of
old wool > ( . to 1 cent below current quota
tions for clothing , and no Indication that
mianufactuicrs ale neat Ing- the end of their
Blocks. Cancellations are numerous , but In
proportion to orders smaller than for live
years past , and tlnd natural explanation in
mi advance of prices greater In somu lines
Itian distribution seems to warrant. Yet
itho mills are nearly all full of orders for
Borne months to come , nnd rather more de
mand fur goods Is seen since colder weather
uppeared.
Cotton mills nt Fall Illvor still Increase
"their accumulated stocks , about 2,000,000
pieces , and pilnt cloths have declined to
" .00 cents , the lowest quotation on lecord.
01110 print cloths have also weakened , but
ilngianis ! arc firm and the better grades of
Irons Kooils are sold well ahead ,
The Iron and steel Industry Is more fully
employed than ever before In Its history ,
nnil although production of IJcsslmcr plu
is beyond all precedent , the price advanced
( iml billets are still bought In open market
l > y some of the largest producers. Other
iplg 'Is steady In price , and no decline ap
pears In Mulshed products excepting steel
dilates nt the east , but for these the demand
it C'hlcago Is enormous , as for cars nnd
iigrlculunal Implement materials , pending
ciders for cats covering SW to 2.COO each.
The structural demand during the llrst
quarter was SO per cent larger than In the
t > ainc quarter any previous year , and It Is
. mild the dcnland for pipe Is swelled by
pending contracts for 126 miles. Minor
metals are comparatively quiet : tin at 14.3
cents , lake copper at 12 cents , lead firm at
3.7 cents and nickel , In heavy demand at 34
cents.
Failures for the week hnvo been 231 In the

NCW YORK. March 23. Dradstreefs to
morrow will eay :
The favorable features of the week In
distributive trade have been the reports
comingwith few exceptions from all parts
of the west and northwest , and marred only
fby the check to business caused by heavy
rains and high water In the Ohio valley.
The unsettled condition of our relations
iwlth Spain Is credited with exercising sonio
effect upon Immediate demands and upon
iuturo undertakings In the eastern portion
of the country , lint the two Industries ,
cotton nnd woolen , most complaining are
ihoso In which conditions other than foreign
complications have for some time past been
jworklnc toward depression.
The coarse cotton goods situation does not
Improve- any way , and declines In print
cloths to a still lower record quotation ,
rendering Increasingly Imminent action by
( manufacturers toward curtailing production
An this line.
W.hlle some woolen goods mills have al
ready booked good orders , the business done
31 * a whole has not been up to anticipa
tions. Haw wool does not reflect' the rather
unsatisfactory condition In the demand
, l > roduct In the lower stages.
The Iron and steel trade Is ono which cx-
cltea satisfaction , and almost surprise.
3-'rom a number of widely separated sec-
itlons the report comes of unprecedented ac
tivity In nearly all branches of the trade ,
j'lg Iron Is higher at several markets , and
efforts toward harmonizing producing ele
ments In crude nnd manufactured products
ore being assiduously pushed. Modern steel
' ( plants are reported rushed with orders , nnd
consumers' demands more than keep up
with the deliveries. 'iVestern steel men are
'reported buying billets In the cast , whlln
the eastern hlp builders are buying steel
ailates In the west ,
T.io price situation this week shows de
creases more numerous than for some time
'pist. Thisof course. Includes many lines
In which speculation plays a prominent part.
The passing of the cold wave , with little
or no reported damage to the growing win
ter wheat , coupled with the general forward
condition of agricultural matters , and the
anticipated heavy acreageIn spring wheat ,
IB credited with much of the depressing con
dition In cereals. Aiding this , of course. Is
* thu discouragement of speculation by the
t ntrong statistical position ot the Immediate
J supplies and uncertainty of political sltua-
! tlon.
' The flour business Is reported a dragging ,
and production may bo restricted.
Flour and corn exports ore larger this
-weeks , but those of wheat arc small. Total
exports of wheat. Including Hour , nggre-
' ento S.KHUIS bushels , against 3,679,030 bushels

His work throughout the contest was fault

Last evening nine men had tied with
twenty-five kills eacb , and after they divided
the money they agreed to shoot off for the
silver cup , which was the trophy offered by
the Interstate association for the winner ot
the big event.
There wee scarcely a breath of wind blow-
In ; when the shooters were called to their
mart ? , the first round ending with seven
men standing straight. All these shooters
killed the birds up to the fourth round , and
the only miss recorded in that tlmo was a
bird that died out of bounds after R. O.
Hclkes had hit It.
T. n. Liflln of Hock Island failed to hit
his seventh bird ; then "Jim Jones" ot Phil
adelphia missed and had to retire ; "Walters"
lost his tenth bird.
Fulford and Loomls went straight ahead
until the latter missed his twenty-third bird ,
thus leaving Fulford standing alone os win
ner of the Grand American handicap , with
forty-eight straight kills.
Immediately after the Grand American
handicap was finished Frnnk S. Pnrmalcc of
Oniahfl. Neb. , tackled Captain Jack Brewer
In a contest of 100 birds each. The western
man proved to bo by far the cleverer and
won out with a score of ninety-four kills
against ninety marlo by Captain Brewer.
Dr. J. G. Knowlton of this city was the
next to face the trap. He shot off a match
of twenty-five birds , against T , A. Marshall
of KIctbsburg , 111. , and \\oii with a score of
twenty-four kills against twenty-two.
Several other sweepstakes and "miss nnd
out" contests were decided during the after
noon , but none of thorn proved to ho of any
Importance , ns the entries were few , and
several times split up the money without
much advantage to the shooters.

Tfot Worrying 4yW thp Praiortlve j
Outcome of "tWJTIMen Cllnr.
The announcemcntthat _ the State Board I
of Transportation hiVfuced another hearing
of the Tibbies caaa. Kfcalnst various railroads
ot the state brcaijsojof unreasonably high
'
charges for wVprll 'rf is not causing any per
ceptible amount o"T worrlment among the
leading railroad offlf lite ot this city. Hither
they are confident { bat the State Board of
Tranoportatlon 1 * not polnc to push the re
vived case ugalnst tha railroads very hard ,
or olae they believe That they have uuch a
strong defense to m'ffi the charges of high
freight rates that the plaintiff will not stand
much chance 'to win out In his fight against
the railroad ? .
The railroads have decided on the line of
defer.rto that they will pursue. All the lull-
roads of the state will stand together on
the same argument ; that has been finally
decided upon. The defense will mainly con
sist of the argument that the milt that
Tibbies now seeks to reopen Is outlawed by
the statute ot limitations. The argument of
the rallrcad companies Is to the effect that
thlg case was allowed to lapse so long dur
ing thu pending of the Nebraska maximum
rate case before the United Statoo supreme
court that it cannot now be taken up again
by the State Board of Transportation , but
that an entirely new case will have to bo
prepared. U is considered likely that the
latter courao may then bo adopted by the
plaintiff.
The hearing will take place at Lincoln , and
Is still ton days off. Some new develop
ments In the situation -n.uy arise in the
meantime , but unless they do the program
above outlined will bo carried out. The
State Board of Transportation Is unofficially
