In the prosenoe of the Most High, take a vow to make our solo aim the development of the power and glory of our boloved Russia and the happiness of our faithful subjects.'•

The manifesto concludes with the command that the oath of allegiance be taken to him.

Cinr l'roolaimed.

At 0 O'CIOCK Friday morning the imperial heralds, in brilliant uniforms, attended by a troop of trumpeters, announced the death of Alexander III. and the accession to the throne of Russia of Nicholas II. Tne two heralds with their escorts traversed all the principal streets of the city, and after the trumpeters had delivered three ringing blasts upon their trumpets they made public the proclamation of Emperor Nicholas II.

Throughout St. Petersburg tho accession of tho new ozar is being celebrated as a festival, for this event takes precedence of tho mourning ceremonies. The Russian newspapers therefore appeared without black borders and all signs of public mourning are withheld until to-day.

Religion. Klt«« at I.lvatftn.

LIVADIA, Nov. 8.—The remains of Czar Alexander III., having been embalmed and attired in the uniform of the l'reobrajensky regiment of the guard, were conveyed Friday morning to the small private chapel of the palace. The bier was surrounded with lighted candles and is watched by relays of priests and ofllcers of the army.

At the religious services which were afterward held in the chupel all the members of the imperial family and the Imperial household were present. The officiating priest, after censing the remains, began chanting an impressive liturgy. The whole ceremony was most Imposing and produced the deepest effect upon those present.

Grief

In Kranoe.

Nov. 8.—There was universal

mourning Friday throughout France at the death of the czar. Although the manifestations of grief are quiet there Is no doubting the fact that the grief of France is profound and that the republic really believes that it has lost one of its best friends by the death of Alexander III.

THE CR AWFORDS VILLE JOURNAL.

Proximity of tho Elootlons Pelt In Commercial Operations.

iIEWS OF THE LEADING AGENCIES.

On th« Whole the situation Shuwi Many Satisfactory Condition*, Although the Volume of Buitnesi

Hmaller

Than I11 the Fall of '99.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.—H. G. Dun fe Co. 's weekly review of trade says: The last week of October, with an exciting eleotlon near.canuot indicate much of the true condition of buslnoss. In some trades the season la too fur advanced for great activity, and In others the supposed effects of the •otlng hinder operations. But It Is satisfactory that the volume of produotlon la well maintained, and In one or two branches lnoreused, that no monetary difficulties disturb, that breadstuff* area little higher, and thai no ma* terial decline appears during the week lr. manufactured products. The factthat any decline appears, with slackening In demand for some products, may perhaps be attributed to uncertainties, matnly political in origin, while every lncroaae In the working foroe helps to make a basis for more business hereafter. At present the volume of business transacted it on the whole smaller than last year, and muoh smaller than in 189fi. though presidential election wan then close st hand. 'Payment? through principal clearing houses for the week have been 12.8 per cent, less than last year, &nd 84.4 per cent less than lu 1602. In both comparisons with decrease outside of New York as well as here-

Kailwsy Earnings.

"Railway earnings for the last week show a decrease of 4.6 per cent., and for the month of October thus far. 4.3 per cent, compared with last year, and 11.8 per cent, compared with 1802. While tho loss Is not as great as in September, it is enough to justify some weakness, and disorganization of the coal trade and depression of coal carrying stocks holped. so that the average price of railroad stocks declined 76 oenti per share for the week, while the average of trust stocks deollned 70 cents.

Corn, Tork snd Wbest.

Corn has advanced 4 cents, with western reoolpts about a third and exports about an eighth of last year s. Pork and hogs are a shade lower, with lard about the sameWheat Is %o higher for spot and lc for. December, and looks as if strength in corn had prevented a further docline. The Irresistible force is of oournc the enormous aooumulatlon which continues, although producers may naturally be inclined not to sell at current prices. Cotton again lower, spot being 6.75 cents, with receipts NO heavy that large crop estimates are favored. The depression of ootton and wheat, and the partial loss of the corn orop. must be reckoned Important because of hesltanoy in retail distribution of products.

BfTect OD Industries.

"This hesitancy affects Industries very differently. The boot and shoe manufacture (s retarded only In continued preference for low priced goods, for the number of pairs produced and shlDped seems greater than ever. Orders have fallen off of late, but most factories are still well employed, and many have good orders for spring. 'In the iron industry the chief activity in structural work, bridge and other plates. While the demand for sheets Is somewhat diminished, bar and wire show no improvement, and nails are weaker. Tho average of quotations for various kinds of Iron and steel is 8 per cent, lower than In July, 0.6 per percent, higher than at the lowest point In Airtl and 20 per cent, lower than in July last yenr.

American* Losing Their Market. A conference of steel rail makers resulted in no change of policy, though purchases of English rails by Mr. Huntington for Paoiilc ltvery and by Canadian roads indicate that American makers are losing part of their natural market.

The Wool Trad©.

"In woolens the fall and winter demand is disappointing, though still fnlrly larye for the season, but the expected supplemental orders do not appear and great uncertainty pre* rails as to spring goods. No changcs of price are noted. Manufacturers nro not disposed to prouuee in advance of the change January 1. and so are bujing only for current needs, and at the west It is complained that wool goes begging at prices below the parity of similar wool abroad.

The Failure ft«corJ.

Failures oontlnue small, and for four weeks ending October VA. liabilities were $8,200,802, of whioh $3,149,455 were of manufacturing and $4.001.484 of trading concerns. Southern failures are comparatively small, and the eastern and western about equal. During the past week failures have been £49 in tho United States against 858 last year and 60 in Canada against 28 last year."

HradstrVet's View.

Bradstreet's says: "General trade continues on conservative lines. thoro being little fur-reaching improvement in business circles as comparod with a week ago. aside from tho settlement of the strike at Fall River, one of the effects of which is eipeoted to be tho steadying of prices for cotton fabrics and an inducement to cloth prlntors to order for future delivery. "At Cleveland, Cincinnati, Kansas City. Omaha, Des Moines. St. Paul and Minneapolis no change is reported in commercial circles, business being moderato and dealings conservative. Colder weather is needed at the cities further nor^i. Detroit reports unseasonable weather has further checked distribution of Aothing and allied lines, and at Chicago the volume of business is smaller than in the previous week, although Interior merchants In Ohio. Indiana and Illinois Are sondlng in a seasonable number of mall orders. St. Louis jobbers In dry goods, hats and millinery report about tho usual volume of trade, but most other lines show a decrease. Thero is a fair volume of business at Duluth. where lake navigation is nearlng Its close, and nt Portland Ore., general trade In said to have Improved, while at San Francisco no speolal change has taken place."
