REVIEW OF TRADE.
R. G. Dun's Weekly Business Report.
RESULTS OF THE ELECTION.
Buatncss May lie largely Affected In Time, but
IB
Yet There Is Scarcely any Indication What the Effect Will Be failures For the Week in the Uuited States and Canada.
NEW YORK, NOV. 9.—R. G. Dun & Company's weekly review of trade says: It has been a broken week, and just before and after elections in the most important states operations rarely have much significance. Business may be largely affected in time, but as yet there is scarcely any indication what the effect will be. The controlling power at present is the effort to readjust prices after the remarkable rise of last summer in important materials and products, with the struggle of great combinations to prevent decline.
The purchase of competing interests now gives the H. C. Frick company ownership of 11,686 out of 17,954 coke ovens in the Connellsville region, and practical control of more than threequarters, and an advance in the price of coke to $2 is expected, as the Carnegie company has been buying up supplies at low prices for months in advance. Yet the price of Bessemer pig is%nver, $14.75 at Pittsburg, and billets are lower because there is scarcely any demand for rails at the combination prices structural contracts are now few, and the demand for wire and wire nails has been curtailed by the nail trusts advance of prices 176 per cent in four months. Large western and eastern orders for cars help the demand for bar, but finished products are quite generally sold below quotations, which are now lower than they were two months ago. Copper is a shade weaker at 11.75 cents for lake, with slow buying tin, a fraction lower at 14.55 cents, with the visible supply 27,675 tons, against 22,787 a year ago, and lead is a trifle lower at 3.3 cents. The anthracite combination seems ready to make higher prices.
Many woolen mills are also closing to wait orders, though the demand i.s l'airly satisfactory for some dress goods and worsteds, and the Washington mills open clay worstsI at 10 cents advance. .Hut prices of these and most qualities of woolens are still uncertain, for manufacturers do not know yet what they have to meet. The reaction from speculative prices of wool abroad, and the stiffness of speculative and country holders here, reduce sales to 5,621,300 pounds for the week, against 8,245,000 Jjor the same week of 1892, btat stocks of foreign wool here are very large. Cotton mills do well, as the halt and hesitation in cotton does not stop buying'of goods, and many believe.goods safe at current prices, even if cotton is not. Tho.market for raw cotton is held at 8.8J cents, in spite of a higiTly respectable estimate of only 0,435,000 bales for the year. Even at that the supply of !),400.000 would be more than enough, but other estimates are much higher.
Wheat falls back with great reluctance from its summer rise of 20 cents, but has decliued 1 1-4 cents for the week, western receipts being 8,019,010 bushels, sigainst 3,845,03°, for t1".- WLV.L year. The belief HI a crop much smaller t-ha«'last year's has tp resist actual receipts of 45,725,368 bushels in six weeks, against 30,440,005 last year, and Atantic exports have been only 9,003,424 bushels, lio„ur included, against 13,347,(U9 last year. The reports of winter wheat from some states are also better. Corn conies forward largely, receipts being more than double last year's, and nearly a million bushels went abroad. The rapid marketing of supplies of wheat from Russia and Argentina, and the larger exports of corn from this country, both tend to lessen the future demand for American wheat.
Failures for the week have been 280 in the United States, against 261 last year, and 49 in Canada, against 42 last year.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 9.—The remains of the late Mrs. James B. Eustis, wife of the American ambassador to France, arrived here from Europe yesterday afternoon.

The body was conveyed to Cave Hill cemetery where the interment took place. The services at the grave were simple and were conducted in a heavy rain. The Rev. I Ciiarles Craik of Christ church, olliciated.

ASHIXQTON Nov. 9.—Lieutenant tiioien Young of the navy, who was at Boitoitlla on board the Boston at the time of the Hawaiian rebellion, denied in&t the secretary of the navy had refused him permission to publish a book he had written. He said: ."I gathered many notes regarding the history of the islands, and these notes I have enlarged into & purely historical volume. The manuscript was submitted to the secretary of the navy in accordance with the regulations, and I know that whatever action the secretary takes will be for the best. I would like to contradict the statement that 1 criticised any administration or enter into a discussion of the Hawaiian policy. I could not, as an officer, criticise my superiors, even were I so disposed."
Secretary Herbert was at the cabinet meeting yestex*day, and could not be seen. It is understood that he refuses to State whether or not he will order the suppression of the manuscript.

Ottoman Bank Comes to the Porte's Rescue.
NO SOLUTION SEEMS PROBABLE.
It Is the System of Government in the Turkish Empire Which Is to Blame For All tht Tirouble—Important Develop* ments lExpccted Soob—Stormy Scene In the Reichstag.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 9.—There is no change for the better in the political situation here unless it rests on the fact that the Ottoman bank has advanced the Turkish government the sum of $1,500,000, which will enable the new minister of finance, Sabri Pasha, to provide for the most pressing needs of the government. The latter, it would seem, consist in fitting out the army reserves just called out in the porte's attempt to make some show of trying to restore order in Armenia but there are so many other demands upon the Turkish treasury at the present moment that the money just advanced would not go along way even if it was placed to legitimate uses, which is not likely to be the case.
There are many people who believe that the deposed Sultan is quite as sane as the present ruler of the Ottoma empire, Abdul Medjid.
Then, of course, the name of the heirs apparent, Mohammed Beshed is heard mentioned as likely to shortly succeed his uncle, the present sultan but that report has been in circulation for months past. In fact it was said some time ago that the present sultan had half offered to resign in favor of Moliamed Beshed but, it is added, the representatives of the powers did not look upon this as likely to prove any solution of the complicated situation and the matter was allowed to drop. The difficulty does not rest in individuals one sultan is about as bad or good as another it is the system of government in the Turkish empire which is to blame for all the trouble and until there is a decided change in this direction there will be no improvement in the condition of the Armenians or of the Turks.
In the best informed circles here the situation is regarded as decidedly critical and important developments are expected within a short time.
The ambassadors of the jiowcrs do not regard the new Turkish ministry with favor it is not expected to last long and it is not thought that it will be able to do anything worth mentioning towards clearing tiie political atmosphere.
The rumors of pf.luce conspiracies which liave been in circulation for months past continue to bruited about. Tiie name of thedepossd sultan, Mohammed Alurad, removed from the throne because he was alleged to be suffering from idiocy, is once more mentioned as being a likely candidate for the throne.
S'ORMY ,Sitii:ilion.
LONDON', Ivtv. 9.—The Vienna correspondent of The Chronicle regards a stormy sitting of the reichsrath on the rejection by the emperor of the election of Dr. Lueger by the anti-Semites as
hly educated. I burgomaster of Vienna. The premier's ^liters ot Gen- explanation gave rise to unprecedented the «njy one ^cen^es.

Cambon, French ambassador, sent to the porte iu the middle of tire night to say that if any French citizen was killed lie would insist upon having the governor's head. "It is alleged that Kaimil Pasha's dismissal from the office of grand visic was due to his having demanded certain administrative powers formerly pertaining to the grand vizier, but long irn abeyance.'5
A dispatch to The Chronicle from Rome says that the Corriore del Mattino. of Naples has advices to tlio effect that the Marquis ot Salisbury has confidentially proposed to the powers the dismemberment of Turkey.
