Dun & Co. to-morrow will say in their weekly review of trade: Failures for the week have been 238 In the United States agninst 231 last year, and 31 in Canada against 34 last year. As the season advances were the smallest forany day of the week, footing up 108,500 shares. Tobacco was the most attive stock on the iist, opening stightly higher at 72, broke to 6974, railied to 7114 and fell t0 683,@69%3. The early rise was due to the dismissal of the apolica- . tion for an injunction seeking 10 restrain the pay- ment of the scrip dividend and the deciine pressure of a long stock on statements that the matter would not be finally disposed of for at least two mponths.

Bar- | know Reading, Western | per cen: cites and the Southwest- | money there is more business, it advices. sadicate oy on the whole the prevalent feeling is that the gain is less than there was reason o expect, while re- tail trade has been active enough to materially Jessen stocks and obligations and this (0 prevent agreat many threatened embarrassments. It has 0L yet brought ensugh new business to mills or factories to prevent decrease of unfllled orders to s | and closing of some works. Substantially the same state of things exist in all the great industries, notwithstanding the strong combinations in some, and evidence of inadequate consum:ption appears in the fact that the general range of prices of commodities. farm and mine as s manufactured products, is nearly 1 per ower thau it was April 1. and the lowest ever , the decline since October, 1892, being 16.7 t. Nor cun this be attributed to searcity of , which is easler and more abundant ss the liguidation of many dealers lessen outstanding ob- lizations. | oreign operations hsve been of no in- | fluence in American securities, bt shipments of silver have sgain been large. Stocks have re- muined practicully without change. Speculation hasTaised cotton an _elghth, though receipts and Crop prospects still favor lower prices and ccumulated stocks of unsold flofl. are "IZ large. Wheat has declined 45fc for cash. W Decem: | only two months of the crop year remaining there %5 Jittle to encourage higher prices. 'Sifk has weakened # little, owing to_the overloading of Japanese dealers. ' Wool Is weak, the wool year ‘closing with the greatest quantity of wool on hand ever carried at this season. Wooien goods have not improved in demand, und flannels have opened 5't0 15 per cent lower than last vear, though the material decrease of production has given to other s s = rather stronger tone. S aoods are helped by the restriction of foreign imports, but the assoclation reports that, on the whole, wool machinery is not more than half empioyed. Some cotton mills have ceased production, inclnding one large printing estab- lishment, and stocks on hand still increase, though for brown goods there has been a better legitimate demand and great quantities of ginghams have been moved by drives at prices, low beyond all precedent. There is fair demand for boots and snoes, though not enough to preveny gradual ex- haustion of orders unfilled, but the only change in rices hus been a siight advance in some qualities. ather 1§ weaker with a very narrow demand and quotations average & shade lower, as do prices of hides. Purchases of lake ore by the principal con- sumer and contracts securing low phosphorous ore and lower rail rates to Chicago for Connellsville coke in order to compete wiih Pocahontas coke are the main features in the iron industry, bt revival of demand is yet deferred. Higher prices for nails have caused_active buying for the week, but large consumers decline to contract as_yet for bars, and the rod combination has fallen through. Middlemen still sell steel billets at $19 at Pitts- burg zgainst $20 asked by the pool, but the stock available is said to be only 30,000 tons. Structural prospects are good, but in other branches the de- ma is |ess active and Bessemer pig 1s weak at $13 at Plisburg. The anthracite coal compauies have advanced the price 25¢ per ton. The volume of domestic busines shown by clearings has been 154,000,000 daily in April, azainst 158,000,000 last year, 136,000,000 in 1594, 181,000,000 m 1893 and 188,000,000 in 1892, These figures show a greater shrinkage than appeared in recent months and indicate that improvement is slow.

All Records Cut by the Torpedo-De- stroyer Desperate. The terrific speed of the new British torpedo-destroyer, H. M. S. Desperate, is the topic of the hour in naval circles. The last trial of this boat in six runs. on the Maplin mile, with the standard load on board, showed a mean speed of 30.46 knots, or thirty-five miles an hour, with 5600 horsepower, 210 pounds pressure, 24 inches vacuum, 406 revolutions. This is the fast- est boat yet built. The Lucania would make fifty of ber, but she has a sixth of the Lucania’s power, although with but 50 per cent more speed. She world cross the Atlantic in a little over four days. She is 210 feet over all, with a beam of 19 feet 6 inches and a depth of 13 feet'6 inches.. The Government of Great Britain has paid closer attention to the development of this class of vessel for its navy than any other power, and orders for forty-two vessels of the kind have been })laced with the large shipbuilding firms of the country. In a recent gunnery trial to determine 00 CCV 1.6714/1000 Oceld..1.15 | 5 11651200 110 155200 171a the efficiency of the battery placed on this type of vessel a target the size of a first- class torpedo-boat was anchored in the center of a circle ‘of a radius of 3500 yaras. Four series of attack were made on this target at different speeds, and in each case the firing lasted but one minute. In the first series, beginning at 1500 yards, adis- tance of 340 yards was run at’ the rate of | ten miles an hour. In the eight rounds fired one shot was put through the smoke- stack of the dummy torpedo-boat. In the second attack, at 800 yards, three of the eight rounds pierced the conning tower, boiler and intermediate compartment. In the third attack, beginning at 1500 yards, the boat was speeded up to 24 knots, and of the seven rounds fired while covering 800 yards two rounds pierced the smoke- stack. In the fourth attack, made while the boat was steaming at the highest pos- sible speed and covering 800 yards from an initial distance of 1100 yards, two of the eight rounds fired pierced the turtleback and the conning tower. An average of six carefully aimed shots per minute was maintained, and the ammunition was promptly supplied at this rate. but it could not be increased.—Pittsburg Dispatch. ————— lon, hence Apr 28, Apr Arthur vec 23 former lost topgallant masts in & squall Dec 24.
