R. G. DUN & COMPANY'S REVIEW.
Speculation Stimulated ly tlie Distribu
tion of Millions of Dollars by the lSoml
Syndicate—Wheat Advanced J'ive Cents,
a Slight Advance in Corn—Heavy Move
ment in Wool—Failures.
NKW YORK. May 18.—R. G. Dun & Company's weekly review of trade says: The severe cold snap, with extensive frosts and in some states snow, has fortunately done little damage to the grain crops, though much to fruit, but has considerably l'etarted retail trade. The best news of the week is the advance of 10 per cent in wages by the Carnegie works, followed by the JonesLaughlin establishment, and evidently implying a similar advance by many other concerns. The Illinois Steel company is starting its furnaces without granting the demands of employes.
No advance has been found practicable in the woolen mills, wiiere conditions as to prices and foreign competition are very different and about 10,000 workers are still idle at Olneyville, where the works should consume 600,000 pounds per week. In other departments of labor troubles are not serious and the demand for manufactured products increases.
With material and steady enlargement in domestic trade, there is still great want of employment in the interior for money which comes higher, $iJ,o00,000 during the past week, and with the millions distributed by the syndicate on bond account stimulates speculation, Accordingly, wheat has risen cents, alt-hough the reports of injury by frost do not appear, upon sifting, to concern any considerable proportion of the growing grain. Western receipts for two weeks of May have been 2,917,305 bushels, against 2,t00,2!)S last year, and Atlantic exports 3.059,484 bushels, against 4,565,10J last year, being reduced by the advance in price less than would be expected because of generally current reports of decrease in acreage. With only six weeks of the crop year left, the stocks in sight constitute a heavy surplus, but not as large as some western statisticians estimate.
Corn has advanced,ouly one-half cent, Sing apparently injured more than heat, but the acreage gives promise of a yield of 2,000,000,000 bushels.
Cotton is an eighth stronger in spite of the fact that 9,461,081 bales had come into sight last Friday, which is over 400,000 bales more than the largest crop ever recorded. Northern spinners have taken a little lesfe than three years ago to date, when the crop was over 9,000,000 bales, but at least 500,000 more than they have consumed as yet, and foi*eign spinners hold nearly 800,000 bales more than they have consumed, while commercial Htocku here and abroad are 246,000 bales more thau three years ago. The manufacturer is prospering, though no one can suppose its consumption is quite at the maximum, and for the year it certainly has not been. Goods are ili fait demand for the season, and the advance in prices are maintained.
Wool is remarkably heavy for the past week at three chief markets, 5,536,750 pounds, and for two weeks of May 11,059,750 poundB, against 11,767,750 in the same week of 1892, the last year of full demand. In that year the dame of domestic were 5,962,000 and this year 5,691,750 pounds.
Bessemer iron has risen to $11.40 at Pittsburg, with grey forge at $9.65. Finished products are in larger demand but as yet not enough larger to cause any general advance in prices and proposals of combinations in merchants' steel, structural iron, cast pipe, wire rods and cut nails, with the existing combination in steel rails, show that the market does not rise of itself.
Failures during the past, week have been 211 in the United States against 219 last year, and 37 in Canada against 24 last year.
SOUVENIRS FROM CANNONS.
Louisville ltejoices Over a Gift From the United States Government..
Loinsvims. May 18.—The military and citizens' parade here yesterday in honor of the arrival from Washington of the historic cannons donated by the United States Government to the Citizens' Grand Army committee, was an imposing affair. The parade was one of the largest overseen in Louisville, being over a milo in length. The houses along the line of march were decorated with flags and bunting, and the city presented a gala appearance. Business was generally suspended and the people of Louisville turned out en masse to receive the relics.
One of these cannons was in service on the federal side and the other on the Confederate side during the war. It is the intention of the committee to have the cannon melted down and made into souvenirs for distribution during the coming encampment next September.
Land Opening Postponed.
WASHINGTON, May 18.—An error has been discovered in the issuance of the proclamation for opening to settlement the Siletz Indian reservation, which was signed by the president Thursday. The act of congress authorizing the step provides that 60 days' notice must be given by the proclamation. That signed Thursday provides that the reservation shall be signed this month, so that it will have to be withdrawn and the date changed.

WINDSOR, Ont., May 18.—Five miles of nets, said to belong to ,J. P. Eaton of Cleveland, were seized yesterday by the Canadian government cruiser near Rondeau, it being claimed that they were in Canadian waters. The Ottawa government officials were at once apprised of the seizure.

CHICAGO, May 18.—Three men were buried yesterday afternoon under a brick wall which collapsed at the Globe moulding works, Sangamon street and Fourteenth Place. One of the men, William Nangle, was so badly injured that he died within a few minutes after being taken to the hospital.
