i DY = B e —— DUN'S REVIEW OF THE WEEK, The Busiress Outlookis Less Favor- able, NOT ALTOGETHER THE WEATHER, There are Signs That the Tompera- ture Is Not the Sole Canse for Bus- ness Deprossion—Tardy In- terior Collections, Trade Over the Country. New Yonx, Jan, 81.—(Spocial Telegram to Tae Bee ]~ G, Dun & Co's weekly re- view of trade says The closing of one considerablo bank and two smaller ones tends to impair public con fidence. In othor respects tho nows is less favorable this week. The financial pressure at London does not abate, and there ara re ports that heavy withdrawals of gold for South America or for France will soon be necessary. Koreign exchange here grows stronger, having risen from $4.86'{ to 84874 Sales of bonds have been small and the treasury has taken 1 nearly $1,200,000 more cash than it has paid out. Tardiness of col- lections at various Interior points causes more complaint, and the unseasonably mild weather once more depresses many lines of trade. The exports for December proved wuch larger than had boen expected, with an excess of §7,000,000 over the imports, The exporis in January from New York have been smaller than last year by 81§ per cent, Mooeyat New York is abundant and cheap on call and the demand for commercial paper < now strong here and at Philadelphia, At (Chicago rates are unchanged, with a fair de- mand. At St. Louis the markot 1s stronger at 7@s per cent, with good demand, At eveland and Milwaukee the market is farrly active with an ample supply and at other western points somewhat easier, with a moderate or fair demand. The later wmdi cations of business activity are not quito so satisfactory. A heavier movement followed the cold days at Boston, but wool sales were only 24,000 pounds, with the market weak and depressed except for combing, and de- laine goods do not improve. The unexpected demand has raised domestic hides !{c to but foreign hides are dull, ILeather is sell- ing more freely. Philadelphia notes a few sales of wool At Chicago the dealings in gram and meats are large, but in dry pgoods somewhat less = for the past two weeks and the shoe trade is shrink- iug a little. Distribution has been fair _nt St. Louts,Omaha and Kansas City, very fair ut Detroit, but dull at Clevela aud aes pressed again by the weather at Milwaukee. From the reports telegraphed it may be anferred that the trade since the new year began has not answered expectations and there are some signs that the weather 1 not solely to blame. In the iron business the awills are fully employed at Cleveland, but sellers make better offers at Pittaburg and ®omo reauctions occur. At Philudolphia large lots which have been hyvothe have been sold at some concessions, frigh ening the timid buyers, The indications are that an excess of production begins to be felt. In the dry goods trade the signs noted at Boston, Philaaelphia and Chicago are seen here and at other points. The coal trade also continues much depressed as to anthra cite, though bituminous is active at fair irices, v The unsurpassed activity in building has made material strong and active, Whentis 134 cents lower, with sales of 20,000,000 bushels; corn, 1'5 cents lower, and oats 15¢ cents lower for the week. Cot- ton is held by speculation, but the sales for the week wero over a million bales and coffec is unchanged, but oil and pork pro- ducts are lower, In the stock market a considerablo ad- vance occurred because of the covering of short sales, but the bank failures came to increase the reaction .which the monetary situation of London and the withdrawal of the Union Pacific from the presideats’ nsso- ciation had commenced. The average of prices for stocks is still a little higner than a Week ago and the reports of earnings are highly encouraging. ‘The business failures are 201 as againsta total of 833 last week. Kor the correspond- ing week of last year the figures were 332, et itelratinaa, The Wool Market. HosrtoN, Jan. 8L.—[Special Telegram to Ber.|—The demand for wool has been v active this week aud the sales amount 02,400,000 pounds of all kinds. In prices thore was an easy feeling on all but combing und delaiue selections, which are in sma!l stock and firm. The largest sales of the week have been.of territory wools, which are boing offered at low prices, including fine at 57@Hse, scoured fine meatum at 5ie, and medium at 50@>! Oregon wools were also easy and were offered at about the same prices ut territory. California ana Texas wore quict and selling low. In Ohio fleeces there have been sales of X at 31@82c, of X and above at 83¢@3c, of XX at S34@34c, and of XX and above at 35¢. Michigan fleeces were quiet at 20};@30c.

All westorn points bave applied the 5% cent differential to bring the rate down in line with the Kausas City and St. Joseoh rate of 12} cents, The Union Pucific gets uo through haul and the reduction of tie locat rates to the Missouri river is disustrous t its revonue, General Froight Agent Monroe tbreatens to leave the ussociation 1f the ronds o not with- draw their new differential, and as the Rock Jsland and Burlington steadTastiy refuse to do this, trouble may be looked for at Tuesday's mecting. Mr. Mouroe will have to retract and accept the sitaation or get out of the as- sociution.

The association is composea of about one hundred and twenty of the most prominent lawyers in the city, and nearly the entire membership was represented in person, The corridors, parlors and main dining hall had been lavishly beautified with Howers, tropical plants, smilax, oto., muking arming surroundings for the notable filed into the handsome and brilliantly lighted banqueting hall and took seats at as richly and perfectly appointed tables as ever did honor to 90 bright a company of guests. At @ table that headed two others running al- most the entire length of the room were seated the Hon. A. J. Popvleton, president of the association, with Judge Wakely on his right and Judges Doane ana Clarkson on his left. Others at this table were Judge Gre- gory. G. M. Gilbert, 8. E. B.

Coffee: During the amner, as well as throughout the entiro evening, mirth reigned supreme at the table where Will Gurley, Judge Helsley, Elmer Frank, Johe D. Howe, J. H. McIntosh and Charley Greene sat. It was one continuous round of pun-firing and ban- ter, and the gentleman who couldn’t keep up his end was simply to be pitied—but no one was to be pitied, for the wits of all were particularly sharp. In striking contrast to the vortion of the room occupied by these gentlemen was that where the fudges of the district bench sat—for mumseemed the word up there, 1t was 11 o'clock when President Popple- ton called for quiet and proceeded to say some interesting but well known things re warding the bar association, after which he created a great laugh by saying that one of the primo objocts of the banauet wus to get aquorum of the association together. He ‘was sincerely glad to see that this had been accomplished. Mr. Poppleton then became iniscent and gave a glowing sketch of his college days. and went on to explain how very desirable it was to have a high ideal in life, and hoped that all the gentlomen be- foro him were fully alive to the fict. The speaker then introduced Judge Wakeley ns the man who taught him the law of the liquidation of damages away back in 1857, Judge Wakeley was received with ereat applause. He commenced by sayiug that about twelve years ago he was invited to address a body of lawyers, and the invita- tion stated that he would be paid $8 a day for all the time it took him to write and de- liver thespeech. He wasn'tsorry thatnosuch offer had been made him for the present oo~ casion, for be haa preserved the old $3 a day speech and would give it to those before him, It was a long ove und dealt in heavy court vernacular and btoth flne and knotty legal problems. It closed with some pointers as to whata young mau must possess if ho would succoed in the law. Honesty, fore- sight, insight, patience, noble daring, learn- ing to labor and to wait, were noted as among the needfuls, ‘The judge said that when he was young these characteristics were as necessary as now and will be as necessary 100 years from now as today. “The firat court organized in the teritoryr of Nebraska,” said President Poppleton in introducing the next speaker, *‘was the su- preme court, and a man who has appeared before that body as frequently as the rest of his younger brothers was Henry Estabrooik.’’ Mr. Estabrook, who was sitting in a some- what noisy part of the room, rose ana said that he was totally surprised at being called upon, but would represent the ‘‘burnt district” in which he seemea for a time to be situated, to the best of ms greatly over estimated ability. But the gentlemen around him were one too many for him and he sat down, ‘Chen Will Gurley was announced. to his fect, Mr. Gurley said that unlike Mr, Estabrook, he iwould certainly finish his speech, Launching out with his well known vigor, the speaker said that he wished to say that although many had asserted that in criminal practice. were to be found the reefs upon which a young lawyer was apt to be wrecked, yet he was of a different opinion, and so were many of the foremost luaders at tne bar, both of England und America. He cited the names of many grest men, Danicl Webster, Rufus Rising Choate, Edwin M. Stanton, William H. Seward and others mn sup- port of lus assertion. These men, aithough distinguished by muny other ac- complishments and = services, won thewr brightest lanrels in crimiwnal practice. How- ever learned & man may become in the law, yet if he wauts true fame, wants true glory, he can find it only in the defense of human liberty-—find 1t in criminal practice. ‘The great company of guests gave Mr. Gurley a perfect whirlwind of applause. John D. Homes and Charley Green were called for but declined to respond. M. V. Gonnon was the next name loudly for. Mr. Gannon said that ke desired simply to thank Mr, Gurley for his admirable words in support of criminal practice, and boped they would have the great welght to which they were entitled. Joseph Blair was called for, but declined to speak. Mr. Poppleton then said th t seemed impossible to secure any more speak- ers 4 motion to adjourn'would be in order. The motion was put and carried, and the threng dispersed, OMAHA BEATS THEM AL Quincy Capitalists Compare This Oity ‘With Other Western Towns. Colonel E, H. Osborn, Hon. A. W, Wells, and Colonel W. L.

Guptill heid the watcnes, = At precisely 10 o'clock Referce Lodge, aftor the men 1 ahaken hanas, called time aud the unknown made a savage lunge which Davis cloverly dodeed. After a liitlo cautious work the unkaown got in a slight blow, Davis nicely countering ana winning the firat knock-down as time was called. The second round opened with a rush vigorous in-fighting, with cuts and slasho ending with threo knock-downs in sucoss sion for Davis. By this timo it was plainly to be seen tha however gamo and quick the unknown was, he was no match for Dayis. The third round, like the second, opened with a rush by the unknown and haniy work, the unknown slipping and Davis, dextorously hitting him, scored another knock do Scarcely had the unknown gained his ot when Davis hit him again for a kuock down, Quickly rising, some hot in-work followsd, ending by another fall by the unknown. No sooner was he up to make a pass than Dayis nit hima territic blow, knocking him sprawl 10g flat on the floor. During this round Davis showed his agility, cloverly dodging or jump- ing away from savage blows, in doing which the unkiown lost his wind, waile all could sce that Davis kept his head. Three more knock downs for Davis ended the round. ‘The fourtis round opened the most vicious of fighting, and endod most disastrovsly for the gamely but overmatched unknown. Tho first rush ‘ended i a sip and fall by the un- known, Davis getting in a slight blow as his foo was going down. Here the unknown began to get moro_cautious, and after being knocked down twice, struck Davis a terrivlo blowon the head, but Duvis countered and the unknown was knocked down four tines insuccession. At thistime the unknown got in A stinging blow on Davis, but was knocked down again by a terrific one by Davis. Some seconds after time was called the unknown arose, and_at it they wont again, time being lled as Davis knocked his opponent down the second time, tho latter landing on the floor, head first. The fifth round was a repetition of the fourth, consisting of a series of knock-downs for Davis. The third time tho unknown got up he hit Davis a terrific blow on the fore- head, and, Davis landing a sledgo-hammer blow on_tho side of the face, the unknown fell heavily to the floor, grogey and scarcely able to rise. Another weak effort and knock-down endea the fizht. Time beiny called, the unknown was unable to rise, ai- though he tried hard to do so, and was game to the last. Clearly no match for Davis, either in strength, activity, endurance or science, the unknown showed as much pluck and courage as the champion did superiority, A DOG'S GOOD SENSE, It Knew More Than The Human Brute That Was Leading it. A rare instance of brute intelligence was witnessed on Chestnut street the eveningin a dog which was at the wrong eud of the rope, says the Philadetphia Inquirer. A drunken man was at the right end; or, in other words, the relative positions of the two should have beeu reversed. The atten- tion of several men who were passing was at first attracted to the pair by the antics of the dog. The brute—that is, the four-leggred one--was almost a fully bred pointor, and when first noticed was jumping up in the most singular manner, each jump succeeding a tug at the rope in the hands of the man, At times the canine. man, and rope would become tangled up in the most inextricable snarl as the man and dog made their way up the street. It was 1 one of th tangies that the mystery of the dog’s action was solved, ust watch that dog,” suddenly said one of the men who were looking on. ““He knows more than the man, by Jove!” The man, dog and rope had just got out of a snarl when the man gave the rope a vicious tug. It was then noticed that the rope, which was about the thickness of ' lanyard, was fastened around the dog’s neck in a slip-not. each tug of the rope it was plain that the brute—the four-legzed one—was almost strangled, and when the strain was removed the dog made his regular jump. One of the onlookers in nantly started to rescue the suifering quadruped when he was stopped by one of his companions, who smd: **Let them alone. Just see what the dog will do.” The dog had just comploted one of his jumps, when it was scen that he had taken the rope in his teeth and thus v lieved the strain on his throat. He then trotted ulong contentedly until the man gave another tug and pulled the rope from between the animal’s tecth, This had evidently gone on for some time, to judge fromthe weariness of the dog, But the animal pluckily tried again and again, and succeeded cach time in saving himself a choking. *"There’s a clear case of a dog haviug more sense than a man,’ said one of the group who had followed vhe couple for 4 whole square. e RUSSIA AND INDIA, A Follower of Zoroaster Russin’s Design.

He tells some curious’ things of the ambition of Russia to make a conquest of Indin, and says that the czar is look- ing with longing eyes on that country, “The Russians have encouraged Dhuleep Sing to make speeches against the British,” said he to a reporter, who met him at his hotel, “‘I know this, be- cause Dhuleep Sing told me himself in Paris last August. He recounted to me in a three hours' tallk how Katkofr, the editor of Neuova Vremya, the Rus- sian governmwent organ, liad told him that if the British did not accede to his requests for large properties and other things which he wished he should come and see him, On the strength of this Dhuleep Sing began his agitations, There was a little ill-feeling between England and Russia, aad Dhuleep Sing was assured that if he would stir up the matter Russia would espouse herselfl on his side, take the country and place him on the throne.
