Mr. Miller fluid today that thu arrangement

The DOW year opens with BO much uncer-
ill nty that them Is a natural disposition to
dwell upon the crowding records of the year

ear by at least 10 per cent , though In part
.hla Increase was duo to tlio higher range of
irlces during tbo greater part of tbo year.
Phi ! advance iu prices of all commodities
compared with a year ago is 0.0 per cent , nnd
ho avcruqo has been about 0.5 per cent
ilgtier for eight months.
But this unprecedented volumoof business
las not boeu altogether successful nud the
recorded failures have been in Rrcater nuni-
jcr nnd In amount of liabilities larger tlinn
in any previous year since 1831 , though In
number , only a trillo greater than in 1SS9.
i'ho average of liabilities was I7-10 < S for the
year ujjalnst ? I3,07J ; the year before.
Moreover , the average of liabilities for the
.ast quarter was greater than in any other
fourth quarter on record , namely : $3(1,784 ( ,
against $1IIH)7 , ) In ISS'J. ' The reports from
sther cities are almost uniformly conlldent
in to no and indicate n good volume and fair
condition of trade for tbo season , but are
liable to bo colored by the retrospect of n
ijciioraHy prosperous jear.
The bouth rejoices ' , in great crops and
wonderful manufacturing growth nnd for the
moment notes less linaneial pressure , good
iiolld ay trade and bright hooes. St. Louis
lias weather more favorable for distribution
and money nt 7 to 8 per cent ; Kansas City
notes a strong demand for money und re
ceipts of 14,000 cattle and 85,000 hops and St.
Joseph reports a largo Increase iu the year's
trade mid care in credits remitting well.
At Milwaukee and St. Paul unseasonable
weather 1ms effected trade for the week , but
very satisfactory reports are made for tbo
past year and mouuy is oasier. At Chicago ,
though utonoy is close , conildencu rapidly re
vives , collections are i-asy and thu pivst year's
trade exceeds , by ir per cent , that of IbS'J ' in
general merchandise , dry ; goods and shoes ;
somewhat more in clothing ; 20 percent in
fumituro and IK ) per cent in some other lines ,
while the Increase iu products of factories Is
$ ,000,000. > .
Domestic hides nro firm nnd leather nnd
boots and shoes more active. The iron in
dustry docs not improve , as the closing of
many furnaces indicates. Copper and tin
open the new year lower. There is a bettor
tine in the anthracite coal market.
It is evident that prospects are .thought
brighter in the cotton and woolen Industries ,
for the record shows that n number of new
mills are being erected , and while the great
majority of domestic woolen goods nro selling
at as low urlcvs as a year vgo , und some oven
a shade lower , the volume of sales improves
nud tbo market for dress goods and worsteds
have bnon improved both in volume and , to
some extent , In price. The cotton market
has advanced an eighth , with sales of 41)0,000
bales although both receipts and.oxports for
the weolt exceed those of a year ago.
At Cleveland jobbers are surprised nt the
fullness of collections , but twonty-flvo iron

At Cincinnati the holiday trade was satis

duction iu thu price of coke to furnaces from

are also to closo.
The eastern reports show easier money

fairly active , witti unsold stocks in the coun
try reported nt 27,000,000 pounds , against 30-

Other speculative markets have boon com
paratively dull , but wheat has advanced \4
cent and oats \yt cents , with com % cent
lower , cotfco cent lower ; oil } < ? cent higher
and lard 20 cents per 100 pouncls'hiKher.
The closeness of money and the uncer
tainty as to the future have promoted a
healthy Inactivity in most kinds of specula
tions , and tbo exports of wheat nt the current
prices begin to approach those of correspond
ing weeks last year. The stock market has
been dull rather than weak , though prices
close much below those of n year URO , aver
aging for the sixty most nctlvo stocks S55.49

The average rose to 10.03)4 , with the silver
boom of May 24 , and fell to SSi.til on Novem

Tlio inoit significant fact in this business
Is that new issues of securities listed during
the year , after deducting all for the replace
ment of older securities , have amounted to
S20 ! ! , 174,810 bonds and StSlKK,75l ) ( ) stocks ,
exceeding by $131,000,000 tUo net issues for
the previous year.
The prospect for trafllc is affected unfavor-
nbly bv the shortness of crops , which some
roads begin to feel seriously , but favorably
by tlio better understanding between mana
gers , which promises more satisfactory rates.
Thu monetary situation has not changed dur
ing the week , though the treasury has put
out fSOO.OOO more than It has takea in.
Exports at this point continue to exceed
those of a year ago , swelling tlio excess of
exports over Imparts , and the rate of foreign

that gold imports may not bo distant.

Tlio success of the London Niagara seta
a British syndicate thinking about buy-
in e the concern but. But the Buffalo
people know when they had a good thing ,
and refused to noil. Then n compromise
was cITectod , and a duplicate Niagara ,
cyeloraniu was got up for the syndicate ,
and that is tlio ono which has been ex
hibited , with almost as much success , in
Paris.
The London show had among its aux
iliaries about n dozou characturistic col
ored waiters , big1 , strong , thick-lipped
follows with various accomplishments.
Ono could carry a wuitor with a doxon
dishes on his head , another was a great
whistler , nnd HO tty ono art and another
the place was kept packed with visitors
all tlio time at a shilling u head , and the
interest is unflagging.
Tlio latest venture of tlio Buffalo
cyclorama company is a consignment
sent out on the steamship Lydian Mon
arch. The subject is the "Cruciflxtion
nnd the Holy .Land , " the latest work of
Philipnoloaux , who has boon at work nt
it about a year. A largo force of men
has boon at work on it at Minneapolis. It
is an immense canvas. Whim packed
for transshipment it mndo a big roll
forty-live feet long and about five foot in
( liamotor and weighed three tons. It was
brought hero by way of the lakes and
the canal. It was too big to go into the
hold of the vessel nnd was housed on
dock.
The intention is to sot up the now cy
clorama in London for the Christinas
holiday trnilo , and to boom it in muoh
the same way that tno Niagara has been
worlted. The Niagara will bo returned
to this country for exhibition hero. If
this third American cyolorama succeeds
as well as the other two , others will fol

The American candy feature of tbo

ful fact that homo rule for Ireland Is defunct.
Tlio present policy of the liberal party , tbo
Telegraph thinks , is cortuin to glvo'wuy to a

will at the same time have to make now
combinations. "After tbo next election , "
says thu Telegraph , "homo rule will
bo barely represented In parliament and will
sink to the level of radical fads , the total
iibstinunco nnd tbo anti-vaccination craze. "
The Homo paper further urges Gladstonians
to discard vuin imaginings and return to the
nncient ways of liberalism , and advocates
the rearranging of the parliamentary group *
into a great national party on ouo side of thu
house of commons , nnd on the other the

When the licet of nations consisted of
bic wooden vessels Ericsson count t-uctod
a monitor armored against their shots
and able to destroy a great many ships
without being destroyed itself , nays the
Chicago Times. Two formidable weap
ons not in use at that time Iho rain and
the torpedo liavo been intro
duced , either of which mnv de
stroy in n few sneonds millions of value
in armored vessels. Ships of great slxo
for currying guns have therefore
been furnished with these auxiliaries.
The United States in its latest typo lias
iMsoarded the gun nnd tlio torpedo , nnd
in the Aininen rain places its hole
relinnc'o in the spur , the vessel being
heavily armored for hoi1 displacement
and of quick munouvoi'ing qualities.
A Danibh inventor , conceiving the idea
that small rains to distroy the propeller
of an adversary are desirable
adjuncts to a fleet of win1
vessels , has designed what ho calls a
swordsliip. Ills plan Is for a vessel
of 110 tons displacement , intended for
spoiling shafts or propelling blades or *
punching holes in the bottoms of the
smaller ironclads or armored cruisers.
Its sword is moro lhan ton feet long and
has leoth like n saw to prevent it from
slipping. Its upper point is six foot
below the water level , its lower point
being five and a half feet deeper. The
sword is carried and uupuorlcd by Iwo
arms which should bo ns lliinas
is consistent with strength in order
not to impcdo the maneuvering
power. Swordships should bo fur
nished with twin propellers , with a
balanced rudder between thorn , and
should liavo many water-tight comport
ments , Home of which , when nction is im
pending , should bo Illled with water
in order to submerge the ship slill
deeper. The speed ought to be higher
than Unit of torpedo boats oi equal newer
and displacement that i % over twenty ,
five knots per hour , because the sword }
ship has no projectiles to discharge and
her mission is to destroy the
lurircr game. The gunning tower
should bo nnnorcd and arranged
so ns to lessen as much as
possible- the shock of collision. Al
though any kind of propeller can bo
used , the maneuvering power Is thought
to bo especially Improved with the two-
bladed propellers. The blades are con
nected by mean's of a blade-nxlo which
can turn freely In the boas. The thrust
of the upper bliulo is greatest in ordi
nary propellers , on account of thu
greater sneed of tlio upper wake , but
here ils plate nnglo doorcases u little ,
while the pitch of the opposite blade in
creases in the same proportion. The
maneuvering of a small sword-vcssol re
quires only ono duty from the com
mander , according to the inventor that
is that bo should bo a sailor.
Sitting in the counlng-towoi' * ho com
mander is able to concentrate his whole
attention upon the iniiuouvoi-s required
to rush upon the enemy and destroy his
propellers. At a distance of 1,000 feet
from an ironolad big shot would ricochet
from the solf-mibmorgod deck of the
sword-ship , and a the distance can bo
pnssod over in twenty-five seconds , the
chance of bolng damaged is little when
the vessel is protected against quick-lire
guns. Supjwso nn ironclad and a sword-
vessel going say eighteen and twenty-
four knot respectively , the bword-
vessel possessing several times greater
nrmouvoriiig power. Its commander
requires only to thrust his floating
sword within tlio disc area of tlmcou-
domned propeller and the blades arc cut
oil in rapid succession. Tlio sanguine
inventor nays of his work : "Thoro can
bo no doubt concerning tlio correctness
of this method , bee.uiso complicated
torpedoes often fail in the deciblvo
moment , whereas a sword must damage
where it hits ; secondly the maneuvers
demanded for the application of
torpedoes are always Impeded by a great
number of dllllculuos.1
