NEW VOIIK , Deo. 2. H. U. Dun's wcoklv
review of trade nays ! The bcclnnlnfj of gold
exports In November nnd their expected con
tinuance Urn week , the donth of Mr. GouUt
nnd the iinfnvornDlo reports from tlio silver
conference have somewhat nffactod nil specu
lative innvliots. There nro nMo some symp
toms of ilimlnUhod activity in business , nnd
vrhllo manufacturers ore generally occupied
with orders taken some lima ape , tharo Js
more complaint that new orders ao not come
forward ai wns expected , \vhllotlio volume
of trade is still very Inreo It Is not surprising
that there should bo somewhat loss nctlvily
durlni : the remainder of the year , except In
holiday lines. A sot-bocK in speculation
would be by no means an unmixed avll , but
then ) nro no Mans of n disturbance at pros-
cut , thouKli money markets nru woiklne a
Htllo closer.
At Plttsbunj pig Iron Is In Rood demand
and nil ths mills nro well employed. The
trading class Is Inr o at low prices.
At Cleveland the dry goods trade Is excel
lent and oilier business fair.
Tlio carriage trade ai Cincinnati falls 10
per cent below that of last year , but the
grocery trade is larger than last year , mm
collections nro satisfactory.
At Indianapolis trade Is very Drlsk In holi
day goods and confectionery nud at Detroit
larger than Instyonr In all Hues , with general -
oral collections good.
Chicago reports a good wholesale trade ,
with satisfactory collections , but the return
of currctiuy from tbo wet is small and
monay Is strong at 7 per cent.
Monuy Is In very active demand at Mil
waukee nnd business fairly good In spllo of
dump weather.
Coldur weather Is needed nt Minneapolis ,
whom collections are only fair mid the Hour
market dull. There and at St. Paul trndo Is ,
on thn whole , good.
Slight declines In some lines are soon nt
Omaha , though wholesale trudu is satisfac
tory.At
At St. Hauls business shows much
Rtrcngth , with especial promise In holiday
lines , nnd at Kansas City trade Isquito satis-
Tnclory , thouch receipts of cattle and grain
'all off.
At Louisville the outlook is considered
favorable , but at Llttlo lioclt business Is
gloomy.
At Now Orleans trade Is rather dull nnd
cotton lower , with heavy receipts , whllo re
ceipts of sugar are large , but the demand Is
good.
At Richmond business Is equal to last year ,
tobacco manufacturers are active and money
is plenty.
Broads tuffs have boon stronger , which Is
natural In view of the very low prices ,
though western receipts of wheat have
boon 4t > OUOOU bushels in four davs , against
Atlantic exports of only 824,000 , bushels. A
rlso of nbnut 1 cant in wheat and oats nnd
thi-oe-qunrters oflcontln corn , resulted
from modornto transactions , but hogs and
lard nro slightly lower , and calTce declined a
quarter ; cotton rose to 10 cents , ana re-
noted to OJf , sales ngain exceeding all
records , boine 2,500.000 balus for the week.
Iron U weauor , with pressure to sell some
southern brands. Copper has Hold largely at
12 to I' f cents nnd lead is lower. Coal is
fairly uctivo and bituminous is scarce and
dear. In dry goods the season has bcou one
of unprecedented activity. A general boom
ana advance appears in cotton. Exports of
merchandise from Now York falls $5,277,000
below last year. In November , nnd ere proba
bly 810,000,000 lower at cotton Boris for the
Bamo niontb , but , even with this decrease ,
the excess of exports over imports must have
boon heavy.
The business failures occurrlngthroughout
the country during the last s.oven days num
ber L'liO. ns compared with n total of " 20'J last
weokjforttio corresponding weak of last
year the ligures were ii'M.

Cotton , Nnrtli unil South , Takes n Decided
Ailv.inco Other I'Yutnrcs.
NEW YOIIK , Dec. 2. Bradstreot's tomor
row .vill say : The features of the week are
the exceptionally favorable position of the
cotton mills north and south , the heavy ad
vance In the nrlco of print cloths 1 > to
4 11-10 cents t&o outlook fur a further ad
vance to G cents uyard caused a buoyancy at
the southern dcposltorios for cotton , and tbo
reaction in asking prices for some grades of
pig Iron of 25 cents per ton in northern mar
ket * , and of 50 cents per ton of stool billots.
Four of the A ugusta , Ga. , shooting nnd drill
mills report a largo business and good profits
( luring last year , and this with tbo outlook
for continued strong demand. No reason
able advance in the price of cotton can now
curtail prollts materially , for , ns raoortod to
Brndstreet'H , mill owners nt tno south evi
dently have ralr stocks of low-priced raw
material.
In reply to our Inquiry ns to stocks of low-
priced cotton on baud at eastern cotton mills
or contracted for by them , our Boston cor
respondent writes that cotton tjoods manu
facturers have stocks of 8 cent cotton to
carry them to April 1 , and contracts for
enough worlc ut from 8 to 1U cents to neon
them busy until the middle of Juno , 1S9J. A
few mills hnvo contracted uboad for ao entire -
tire year.
Wool Is very qulot , with prlcoj barely
( toady and no speculative fueling In any
direction , mill owners buying for wants
only. Our Australian
taxings are only one-
half of those u year ago. Cotton has reacted
Bomcwhat from recent highest quotations ,
duo to realizing sales. Opinion sou tuns well
as north has been expressed thut short cot
ton crop estimates may bo discounting tba
reduced yield too heavily , Some cotton
fabrics , oven prints , nro less active than
print cloths ; woolens nre quiet ,
Philadelphia worsted spinners report busi
ness dull , The advatioo In ingrain carpets la
maintained. Throughout the Boutli , as Indi
cated by advices from Unlvoston , lilrmitig-
bam , Now Orleans , Augusta , Atlanta ,
Charleston , Richmond and Momphli , fancy
groceries , IIreworks and other Ctirisunn's
apooliilllos nro In demand , with other whole-
solo lines relatively qulot. There Is a good
demand for rice , which is lower. Mercantile
collections nrti bald to be good generally , ex
cept nhero the cotton crop is exceptionally
short.
liuitlmqro and SU f-ouU report falrfllllng
orders from the south. Dumber Is firm and
In goon dumiina nt till markets , notably DOJ-

possibilities of n successful result had been

fnvornblo Impres

Br.n.J The democrats of this city who have
bcon able today to skirmish around nnd flnd
out just what was done nt the conference
last evening , are tooling considerably elated
nt the prospect of organizing the legislature
and electing a United States senator of their
own political faith. The corrected list of
democrats nnd Independents wtio had boon
Invited to participate In the deliberations of
Iho Joint confcronco Is as follows : Dumo-
cra A. J. Sawyer , Vlotor Vlfqunln nnd J.
D. Cnihoun , of Lincoln ; J. A. Dahlman of
Cnadron , .lohn Shorvlu of Fremont , Dr.
Kclpcr of Norfolk , Gcorgo Marvin of Boa-
iricoand A. S. Campbell of Hastings. All
were present at the mooting last night but/
Marvin nnd Campbell. The Invited Inde
pendents were as follows : John II. I'nwora
of Culbertson , B. F. Alien of Wnbas-h , W.
L , . Orcoii of Kearney , W. A. Poyntor of
Albion , L.og.m McHoynoIds of Fairmont ,
William Loose , J. V. Wolfe and J. M.
Thompson of Lincoln. All were present ut
the pow wow lasl night.
UnU ; of tluiireoiuont. .
The matters at Issue were quite generally
discussed , nnd three lines of action were
laid down. First , the two parties will unlto
to organize ttio legislature , the democrats
being given control of Iho senate and the in
dependents the house. The legislature undnr
control , Iho next Important step agreed upon
was ttio passage of a railroad bill establish
ing a maximumrato | and abolishing the state
board of transportation. The last was the
election of u united States senator to suc
ceed Paddock , but by common cousout nil
discussion of the senatorial question is to bo
deferred until ufto.- the legislature Is organ
ised and the two partners to ll.o deal find
that they can work together successfully and
In harmony.
The probability of the Independent mom
bcrs-clect abiding by the agreement was also
fully discussed , and the entlro list wns cure-
fully gene ovor. All nro looked upon as re
liable but two members. These 'two , it wns
ndralttcd , mluht be counted upon to ] om
hands with the ropubllc-uis. In order to
uvold any possible danger of n failure to
curry out the general pluii agreed upon it
\vr.3 decided to scat cnougn of the contest
ants In Douglas county to glvo the combina
tion n majority outside of tha possible defec
tion of the two doubtful members.
Will Hold Another CuururcnRr >
It was decided to hold another joint con
ference at the city of Lincoln on thu overilntr
of December 31 , at which It is expected every
democratic and independent momber-olcct
will bo present. At this meeting the officers
for tbo two houses of the togislatufi ) will bo
decided upon and all arrange men is for the
organizattou perfected. In fact , It is pro
posed to organize both houses at this meetIng -
Ing on Now Year's eve , so that when the
legislature convenes the following Tuesday
there will bo uolhine to do but simply form
ally ratify the action of the joint caucus.
In the meantime- state central commit
tees of botb parties will bo expected to meet
and select members for a jolnt'stooring coin-
mitteo to take entire charge of the work of
carrying out the plans of the combination.

AGAINST THE COLLEGE.
Idler Hodden the Ci-ils Will Case In
f vor of tlio Hull's.
The heirs of. the estate of William H.
Craig , tbo Kansas City millionaire who died
some months ago. win iu their suit with tbo
trustees of the Wesloycn university of Lin
coln , this state.
During the month of January , 1888Vil -
llsra H. Craig wrote to Rov. C. F. Creigh-
ton , president of tbo university , that ho
would glvo the sum of $25,000 for the endow
ment of Ibo Cbarlos H. Fowler professorship
of Christian ethics , providing tbo trustees of
tbo university would Ilnd some other party
who would make an endowment of $30,000.
This was acceptable to nil of the parties con
cerned and there was a hustling to secure the
$50,000 from the eastern frtaudsof the school ,
but It was apparent that they did not suc
ceed , for later on. at n mooting of tbo
trustees they approached Mr. Craig with the
proposition to talco hU gift , when turned
over , and apply it in paying oft some of tbo
debts that had been incurred , lie fore such
an agreement was reacbed , however , Craig
died , nnd the halra refused to pay the money ,
holding that by tha university trustees
changing tbo terms of their acceptance , tlioy
bad waived tbeir claims to the donation.
\Vuon the estate reached the probate court ,
the trustees were on hand with tbeir claim
for the $ . ' 5.000 , Bcouln ? to estaplish tnolr In
terest lu the s'lmo. Tbo hearinc1 was had
> omo weeks ago nnd yosteraay Judge Ellor
banded down bis opinion , In which ho hold
that there was no agreement over entered
Into and thnt for that reason tbo trustees of
the university bad no claim against tan cs-
Into.
