ALL SAGE PREDICTIONS ARE NULLIFIED r Hl lic rtriiln Can Be Seen In thr Ilu liie ( i dltiintlom Bare the Clonlnv f Few Cotton S1IIU. NEW YOHK , May 13. n. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Hevlew ot Trade tomorrow will say : Hostilities have lasted long enough to kill many predictions , If but few Americans. The European notion that the United States would begin by having a bad half hour , the theorists' notion that everybody knows a great panto must follow the outbreak of war , the commercial buyers' notion that overbody would be ready to sell everything cheap If war came , the notion that It would pay to hoard money until the emergency had passed , have all been made laughable already. The only panic was that money lenders wore wondering what deadly Impoa- Klbilltles the unknown might havu In store for them. The only hindrance of industry has been due to waiting of buyers who looked for lower prices. Nbthlng disheartening can bo sc on In the Industrial situation except tbo closing ot eoine cotton mills owing to overproduction und the fall of print cloths to l.STc. Cotton has not risen nbov e C 87 cents , nnd many stories of reduced acreage are cur rent , ns u year ago , but they do not weigh much In view of the actual receipts of 1,600,000 bales. Receipts of wool have been only 4,007,000 pounds at the three chief markets for two weeks , against 14,330,000 and 11,207,300 In 181)0 ) and 18)7 ! , but prices are somewhat more linn , and there Is more demand for goods apart from the largo government or ders. The demand for boots and shoes having passed all recent orders , has abated , nnd Just at tlftt faolnt where nthere Is general change from ono season ; to another , the actual receipts were 'i pet cent larger than last > ear , nnd 11 per ctgit larger thun In , Ib'i2 , though smaller than In other years. I Leather is rising , with no active demand , nnd hides at Chicago have advanced about 4 per cent In sj > lto of the fact that cattle slaughtered at the four chief western mar kets this year are considerably more than in any other year , excepting IS'JS nnd 1891. The output of pig Iron 234,103 tons weekly , May 1 , against 233,33'J tons April 1 sh&ws practically no change , excepting the increase ot 85D tons weekly In charcoal iron. Deducting the unsold stocks , which In creased In April 23.C1G tons , the apparent consumption In that month was 32COfl tons dully , against 32,209 tons dally during the previous four months. This general ex pectation of expanding demand holds prices Hteady for nil finished products of Iron and Btecl ; nnd with considerable sales of IJesao- iner pig It Is 10 cents higher at Plttsburg , with other quotations there nnd at Chicago and at Philadelphia practically unchanged. Government orders are heavy and yet cover but little of the consumption , though they go far to cause the overcrowding of 8blp > ards and plato mills , but higher prices for wheat have brought enormous demands for agricultural Implements and also for locomotives and cars , while many buildings In western ( owns , nnd orders for many rail roads and bridges , for canal Improvement nt Chicago , and 25,000 tons of steel rails at the cast , make1 up a heavy volume. Money is easy since the policy of contrac tion has cased , and only $1,700.000 went to the Interior during the week , whllo the now loans of the chief banks averaged 45 per cunt of the total to commercial Interests , against 25 per cent and JO per cent last week and two weeks ago , with rates much lower than were qulot recently refused. The government ! paying gold over the counter largely because Jt needs notes more than coin , nnd $7,000,000 in gold have been ordered during the week , In cluding J2,600,000 from Australia , making J78.3C3.350 ordered , of which about $11,000- 000 has yet to come. Failures for the first week of May repre sent $7,798.777 , against $3,945,354 last year and $4,138,271 In 18SG. Manufacturing , $1- 411,275 , against $1,275,316 last year. Fail ures for the week have been 246 In the United States , against 204 last year , and 24 In Canada , ogalnst 31 last year. IIKVIBW OV THE STOCK MA11KET. \Vnll Street Devotrn the Week to IlnlllnU Speculation. NEW YOllK , May 13. Dradstreet's Finan cial Hovlew tomorrow will say : In the main Wall street has devoted the present week to an active bullish specula tion , based on the naval victory at Manila , and the expectation of other successes , as well as on the accumulated evidences of Spain's financial and military weakness , and the bcllcT that a war will be soon de cided , oven if peace is not at once as sured. The excited speculation in grain , and the high quotations recorded for wheat , wcro also bullish factors , mainly because In con junction with the prospect ot another large wheat crop , the prices apparently Insure a very prosperous season to the western rail roads. The stock market was not , however , with out spells ot hesitation , or even of slight reaction. London was also a rather pro nounced seller ot stocks on the advance ) , professional Interests there disposing of considerable amounts , which were bought on the declines In March and April. Its offerings were , however , well taken , and When a woman gets sickly , nervous , fretful and despondent the average husband doesn't have the faintest conception of what is .the matter. | Wben she gets worse , and he final ly realizes that ill- health of some description has something to do with It , he calls in some obscure neighborhood doc tor. The chances arc that the doctor ays It's stomach , or liver , or heart trouble. Nine times in ten he Un't within a mile of tight. Ho treats for these troubles and charges big bills until the husband gets dis gusted and throws him out. The trouble U usually weakness or disease of the dis tinctly feminine organism. Many husbands , after paying big doctor- bills while their wives grew steadily worse , have at last written to a physician of na tional reputation and learned the truth. They have been justly indignant at the ig norant pretenders who have experimented upon their wives' health. By writing to Dr. R. V. Pierce , any ailing woman may receive the free advice of an eminent and skillful pecialUt , for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgi cal Institute , at Buffalo. N. Y. Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription is a marvelous med icine for women. It cures all weakness and disease of the organs distinctly feminine. It heals all internal ulccration and inflam mation and stops debilitating drains. Over 90,000 women have testified , over their owa signatures , to its wonderful merits.

The paiBBge of stock ! from itrong Into weak hands was , however , a feature , and Iti natural consequence was toward the end of the week the market appeared to be over bought , nnd bad a disposition to rest on tbo absence of further favorable nuws , and to wait for developments In connection with the campaign against Cuba and Porto Hlco. This naturally provoked some realizing by profemlonali us welt as bearish activity by the traders. There was more or less pool manipulation ecn In the market , and some of the spe cialties were the objects of revived activity of an artificial origin. The waiting nnd somewhat reactionary dis position was increased on Friday by the news that the Spanish Capo Verde fleet had arrived In West Indian waters , and the re sulting anxiety ns to the result of the ex- | > ected engagement. The declines were not , however , large , nnd the close was steady and dull at a slight rally. v ci.r.AitiNG HOUSE TOTALS. of ! ) iiNlm > M Trnnnncllonx ! ) > the AxHorlnttMl Iiiiikn. !

Sltiintlon OnlnlitK In At- trnctl ciie an Surliiic AilviiucvH. NEW YOIIK , May 13. Bradstreefs tomor row will say : The business situation gains rather than oscs in attractiveness as the spring season advances. While , of course , t ie very favor able situation In cereals Is still the main spring of the Improvement In many sec- ions , there ore other causes to make the outlook for business for Ute curent year a latterlng one. Following the rapid advances In prices of wheat , which apparently culminated , for the I mo being , early In the week , in a quota tion for cash wheat unequalcd , with one single exception , nnd that only for a vciy short period of time , for tvtenty-flvo yeirs past , there has come a lull nnd a reaction rom the abnormally high prices , caused by the squeeze in May delivery , which , how ever , has left prices far above quotations for nt least ten years back. Telegraphic and cable advices to Bradstrcct's only ac centuate the already veil known bullish nature of the Immediate wheat situation , while on the other baud , ovvln ? to the gcft- erailr admitted eood croo situation , par ticularly In this and otner countries , the outlook nunears to favor somewhat lower orlces than those now ruling , for next sea son's yield , although above tUoso ruling for the last six years. With the qlotlng down of Interest In wheat there has come a partial shifting ol speculative interest to other ( rains , par ticularly corn and oats and many classes of provisions , with advances in nearly all those lines. A rather moro confident feeling seems to pervade the Iron trade , which Is reflected In fractional advances for leading makes o : Iron and steel. Features of the week are very heavy sales of pig iron nt many mar kets , but It 10 again claimed that stocks have begun to accumulate at some points as a result of the continued enormous produc tion , which Is placed at 1,000,000 tons per month. Perhaps ono of the moat encouraging features of the week , and ono espcclaly ac ceptable because of the hitherto very de pressed conditions prevailing , la tbo re ported slight Improvement in inquiry and in tone in th.6 wool market at several cen ters. ters.The The price situation is still ono of grca strength , but particularly so in food prod ucts , which arc with few exceptions , notably coffee and sugar , higher on the week. Wheat exports are slightly larger than last week , aggregating 3C&2,543 bushels against a total last week ( corrected ) o : 2,923,775 bushels , and comparing with 2.183 , . 000 bushels In this week a year ago , 1,9.3,001 bushels In 1896 , 2.397,000 In 1895 and 2,420.- 000 bushels In 1894. Corn exports reflect the returning of for olgn demand from high to lower prlcei grains In a total ot 6,077,000 bushels. Tbt Is slightly smaller than the total a week ago , but Is nearly twice that exported In this week last year , and compared wlih 1.6C8.000 bushels in 1890 and 1,210,00' ' bushels In 1895. Business failures In the United States show a slight gain for the veek , number Ing 250 , against 240 laat week , 251 In this week a year ago , 265 la 1896 and 210 in 1895. 1895.Failures Failures In the Dominion of Canada tbli week number twenty-five , against twenty two last week , thirty-one In the week i year ago , thirty-four In 1896 and twenty eight in 1893. _ The human machine ( tarts but once am stops but once.

PIVOT PUNCH EFFECTS THE RESULT It U Apparently M Maeh of H rte - to Joe * to I'ete , fur tUe Latter Apitenred to lie lu Excellent Form. PHILADELPHIA , May 13. Pugilistic history - tory was made very rapidly at the Arena tonight , when In one minute nnd flfty-one seconds of combined sparring and fighting , Joe Goddard , the "Barrier champion , " re tired Peter Maber , with a sort of pivot punch which was delivered so suddenly that hardly a spectator realized what had come off. off.Up Up to the time ho received hla quietus Mnher looked like a winner. What few 'punches had been landed were In his favor , s n matter of fact , QoJdard landed the unch which proved so disastrous to Peter hllo trying to escape from one of the Int- er's vigorous onslaughts near the ropes. It was evident that Goddard was In the cttcr phjslcal condition of the t\\o. He ookcd pounds lighter than upon the oc- aslon of his memorable encounter with eter before at Coney Island , and displayed shiftiness that v\as surprising In one of Is years. There was the usual fiddling nt the open- ng , and no end of feinting , both men being pparently desirous of drawing the other ito a lead. Mahcr took the Initiative , es- aylng a left-hander , which fell short. Goddard also tried the same , but his effort ns also short. Goddard , houe\er , In- arlably follow eel up his lefts with his right o\\ard the body , which saved him from at east one good stiff counter. Mahcr finally inded with his left hard on Goddord's Jaw. oddard swung for the body and landed , but t did not amount to much , and a clinch fol- owcd. As soon as the men broke away , Maher again took the offensive , landing with his eng left on Goddard's face , the barrier hamplou retaliating with the right on the ody. Mnher rushed Goddard to the ropes , hero was a slight mix up. Suddenly Goddard , who appeared to bo rcaklng avtny , brought his right around i a backward movement The end of his love caught Maher on the jaw 01 about the ace , whether on the Jnw , where Goddard a > s It did , or on the check bone , where lahcr says It did , will probably never bo evcaled. As Mahcr received the punch , ho was artly tripped by Goddard , whoso rlsht foot vns covering one of Maher's. Peter fell ace forward , striking the flooi with a great enl of force. When Maher went down the spectators bought It was only an ordinary knock- own , but the referee tolled off the fateful en seconds , and Mahcr was still on the oor. It was fully ton seconds beyond hnt time before ho rose to his feet. The time of the fight was Just one minute , nd fifty-one seconds. AMiS OK Tlin NA.TIONAI. I.WVOltK.

DKNVEK. May 13. ( Special. ) Commis sioner Horn * Leo of the State Dm can of dines has just Issued his report for 1897. The mlnetal Industry of Colorado Is tioatcd jy Commlsslone r Lee In n very concise nnd readable manner. Colorado's total pioduc- lon of gold , silver , lcadaml _ copper for 1897 s given by counties In'claliorato jet com- > act tables Colorado's total output of heso four metals since their first dlscovciy n the state up to Januaiy 1 , 1S98 , Is shown n the same manner. The report shows that 3.276 now specimens lave been added to the mineral collection n the stnto capital building , that 29,215 inun are actively employed In mining In the state , exclusive of brokers , suivcjors , etc , and that there were 110 fatal and 1C1) non-fatal accidents In Colorado mines last year. It also shows what recommendations were , made for improving nnd tendering safe the nines. The average rate of wages of men em ployed In mines hi the state Is shown by a able. It Is noticeable that the figures In he report differ materially from oth rs that mve been published by other apparently rc- lable persons. For Instance , Colorado's to tal gold output for 1S97 Is given ns only $19,579,036 83. Kl Paso county. Including Cripple Creek , Is credited with only a $10,131,855.24 output ot gold , whllo Ollpln Is given a gold produc tion of $2,080,471.14 , almost double that al ow ed by most other persons. . From the evident careful and painstaking way In which Commissioner Lee has gath ered his data It is probabln that his report s the most reliable one yet published on the mineral output ol Colorado. The figures ; lven , however , are , no doubt , on the whole , .00 low. The estimates have evidently been made without counting In what gold escapes .he accountant's eye , which , In Colorado , must amount lu value to several millions ot dollars. Commissioner Leo's estimate of the pro duction of gold , silver , lend and copper of Colorado by counties in 18t7 Is shown by elaborate tables and also the total output of .he state since the discovery of these four metals In it forty years ago. Summarizing , Commissioner Lee estimates the total mineral output of Colorado up to January 1 , 1898 , as follows : Gold , 8,373,658 ounces , worth $173,083,523. Silver , 339,023,940 ounces , worth $312,79- Copper , 75,300,923 pounds , worth $9,137- CC2.S2. Lead , 2,010,100,092 pounds , worth $33,014- 411C1) ) .
