ports frora tbe Argentine have still further drpresst'd the long Interest la wheat. Corn lias sympathize with wheat, and country o'WTings and receipts l::ivc leeii heavier, though complaints as to quality are still almost universal. Prices as a rule are steady and changes re few. The conspicuous advances arc In refined petroleum, on export account, and some gain is noted fn tin on the week, althAgh the close Is below the highest. Coffee is fractionally higher. Lard Is weaker, but by far the largest list of Maples Is uncharged. Cotton has been dull on slightly larger receipts. Cotton gcods have been quiet, and clearance sales by jobbers are the feature. Wool has been ir.iet but stead. Fair orders for women's dress poods for spring are noted. Shoe manufacturers report mills busy, and some are indifferent to new orders at present prices. .Boston shoo shipments aggregate 4.233,207 cases, a decrease of 10 per cent, from a year ago. New business in Iron and steel is well sustained and very Rood for the period under review. The impression prevails that an Immense amount of heavy bridge material will be needed next year. From Birmingham come Intimations that a large business in pig Iron Is under consideration and may bj announced next week. Cck3 prices promise to be lower, some cuts of 3 to 40 cents being already announced. Import trade Is quieter, a reflection of the continued decline in prices abroad. Estimates of pig iron production are that the aggregate will bo little below lt.OOO.OOO tons, and.' therefore, slightly in excess of 1KO. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 4.ull,lflö bu. against 4,123.200 last week. 3.610.337 in the corresponding week of 1303 and 6,2?2,625 in 1S3S. From July 1 to date wheat exports are 94.151,433 bu, against KC.994.1C3 last season and 121,328.703 in 1;S. Corn exports for the week aggregated 3.S,165 bu, against 5,4-15.373 last week. U.23233 in this week a year ago and S.GB.713 in P&S. From July 1 to date corn exports are 31.24C.1C: bu. against 111.5S7.145 lan seaeon and &0.9C0,K"J in 1S.03. Business failures In the United States for the week number only 213, as against 2G2 last week. 220 in this week a year ago, and ZIS in 1SSS.

DUX OX FAILURES. X am Iter Is Large, bat Xot Undaly So, Compared vrlth Trade Expansion. NEW "YORK, Dec 2S. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade will say to-morrow: While it is not yet possible to print accurate figures of failures during the full year 1IK0 a preliminary statement may be made that will approximate the final result. Detailed returns for all but the last few days of the year have been compiled, and, adding a proportionate amount for tho time still to elapse, it appears that commercial failures will number about 10.Q), with liabilities of $13,0-000. Of this number 2.300 were In manufacturingfor $43.730,000 ; 7,S0Q In trading, for $00,000,000, and 530 brokers, transporters, etc., not properly belonging to either of the other classes, for $27,230.000. Besides these strictly commercial defaults there were sixty financial concerns with liabilities of $34,000,01, swelling the total to 10.600 in number and $i:0.000.000 in amount. This shows a large Increase over the preceding year, when all failures numbered 9.C0J and liabilities were $123,132.679. It roust not be forgotten, however, that 1S03 was a year of exceptional prosperity in business, and while trade was then stimulated by rising prices, the succeeding year had to bear the bitter fruit of reaction. Desplto these disasters, made unavoidable by the very conditions that brought such a phenomenal record for lSltf. it still will be found that 1300 compares favorably with other recent years. So general preparation had been made by Eastern business interests for a squeeze in money near the end of the year that the expected advance did not occur, and collections in the interior were so good that banks made general complaint of the scarcity of mercantile paper offered for discount. . This outcome was particularly encouraging, though business will need mora money alter Jan. 1. Meanwhile a good undertone has been continually in evidence, founded on the active distribution of merchandise South and West, sellers assuming an Indifferent attitude, except in cotton goods and some branches of silk, where the general Improvement has been reflected to comparatively small degree, in both 'cotton .and silk circles better things are expected In January, and In no direction has reduction of working forces in mills occurred. Some wage difficulties have been adjusted, in this respect the situation is unusually bright. More talk of a general reduction in coke and cheaper ore after navigation opens might bo calculated to unsettle quotations of the tinisned products, but iron and steel continue tne even tenor of their way. In every department of this industry more business Is offered than can be accepted, unless purchasers are willing to give much t. e for delivery. One large foreign contract was lost on this account, and at many points domestic .operations are delayed In Inability to secure material. Instead of the agitation for cheaper steel rails that was so prevalent a short time ko producers are said to contemplate an advance. Domestic contracts in this line exceeded 50.000 tons at Chicago, and among lorcign orders is noticed one for 17.000 tons for Australia, with many smaller sales. Structural material is wanted for buildings and bridges, with noticeable activity in this department for export. Wool lost the temporary increase in activity, sales aggregating only 4,570,700 pounds, a decrease of 2.6C1.300 compared with tho preceding week. Stocks at the close of the year are excessive, although dealers are encouraged by the knowledge that manufacturers' supplies are light. Contradictory estimates are still heard regarding the cotton crop. Port receipts show a large increase over last year, but the effect is neutralized by reports that a much larger proportion of the yield has been marketed. This Week Unnk Clearing. NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.

Those men did not adopt Chinese customs nor make themselves a part of the people. Their only object seemed to be to get as much as possible out of the country and to give as little as possible in return. There were those among the missionaries who had contributed toward the illfeeling. While some were as noble men as ever lived, there were others who wore too arduous and who wanted to convert a vast nation from an ancient belief all at once, and because China did not adopt their teachings thay slandered China and the Chinese. They were in too much of a hurry. The foreigner of to-day dresses In his national costume wid'e In China and thereby makes himself everywhere conspicuous. The converts, too, had done theit share toward the change In feeling because, when they had come into close union with the offending foreigner, they took on some of his ways and gave offense to those who had been his friends. These converts forsook the time-honored customs of their nation and looked down on the unconverted fellow-countryman. ' All foreigners are in China by treaty rights and are subject, not to Chinese law, but to the laws of their own country. They held themselves above Chinese law. Was it any wonder that there was ill feeling when the natives saw foreigners doing things which. If done by a Chinese, would cause hlrW to be punished. There were foreigners who took the punishment of Chinese in their own hands for offences, and he had seen coolies kicked and beaten. POSSIBLY IN A TRAP.

ART OF SELF-DEFEXSE. How to Handle a Walking Stick When Iieaet ly Radians. It must be understood that the new art of self-defense with a walking stick. Introduced for the first time in the January number of Pearson's Magazine, differs essentially from slngle-stlck t,r Kwordplay; for a man may be a champion la the use of sword or single-stick, and yet be quite unable to put a walking stlc!c to any effective use as a weajon of defense. The simple and sufficient reason to account for this is that both ln sdngU stick and sword-play a cut is always taken up by the hilt of the weapon, whereas if you attempted to guard a blow with a walking stick which has no hilt Jn tho same way as you would with a sword, the blow would slide down your stick on to ytur hand and disable you. Therefore, i.i order to make a stick a real means of self-defense, it has been necessary to devise a system by which one can guard a blow In such a way as to cause It to fdido away from the band Instead of toward It and thus obviate the risk of being disarmed by being hit upon the fingers. In the art of self-defense with a walking stick, tho stick Is held In tho hand with the thumb overlapping the fingers, and not, as In single-stick or sword-play with the thumb resting on the blade. The stick Is therefore manipulated with the wrist -and not with the fingers as In sword-play and the blows are given by swinging the body on the hips and not merely by filpi from the elbow. In this way blows can be made so formidable that with an ordinary malacca cane it Is possible to sevci n man's Jugular vein through the collar of his overcoat. We give an example. A Safe Way for One Man to Disable Another When Both Are Equally Well Armed with Sticks. Supposing that you are attacked by man armed, like yourself, with a Mout stick, here Is a very pretty way to. disable him. Standing in the position of front guard., right foot forward, knees bent, right arm extended, you Invite an attack at your head by holding your guard rather low. Your opponent accepts the invitation, and leads off at your head. You parry and simultaneously, jumping well to your opponent's right, you crouch down and make a low, sweeping cut at his knees, which will bring him to the ground. If, however, by any chance this result Is not achieved because your blow has fallen upon your opponent's shin Instead of upon his knee, you will still have the best of the situation. Finding that you have got under his guard, your adversary will draw back his right foot and prepare to glv you a back-handed cut across the lace. You, however, foil this attempt by keeping too close to him to admit of this, and bayonet him with the point of your stick. I specially recommend this, as well as the foregoing trick, to the attention of the reader, whether lady or gentleman, both being very easy and most effective. The most difficult part of the trick is to learn how to make your opponent lead oft in the way you wish. But this becomes very simple with a little practice. EXD OF A PIII.CESS. Sad Story of an Untamable Daughter of a Rnaslan Nobleman. London Telegraph. A few days ago, writes our Vienna correspondent, an old beggarwoman. - wellknown to the police for her drunkenness, was burled by the parish In the suburbs of Buda-Pesth. As she had lived for the laFt ten years entirely upon charity, there were few benevolent persons In that city to whom she was unknown. Clothed ln rags as she was, and always cowering at the corner of some street, she still retained traces of her former remarkable beauty. Her story, known to some few persons la Pesth. was a lamentable one. Born as a princess of a well-known Russian house, she ln-gan life surrounded by every luxury. She whs, however, a true daughter of the south Busslan steppes, wild and untamable. Her father, the Prince Feodor C.orcseskow, served as colonel at the siege of Sebaftopol and retired from the army after the, Crimean war. He bestowed every care upon the education of his mothcrlchs daughter, the Prince's Ludmilla, who was Introduced Into St. Petersburg society in 1ST?. The same winter, at a ccurt ball, the young princess unfortunately made the acquaintance of an attache of the AustroHungarian embassy, with whom she fell violently in love. To the horror nd Indignation of her father and her other relations, who then, as now. fill prominent iosltlon ln Bussla. she eloped with the young man, and, though every search was mad5 for her by her friends, she remained undiscovered. Her father, a man of great wealth, died literally of a broken heart through the misconduct of his daughter. Three years later the pair of lovers arrived nt Buda-Pesth, and. as long as their funds held out. were rcen at the theaters, restaurants and every other place of public resort. When the money which Ludmilla had stolen from her father was exhausted they again disappeared. Driven to the verge of extremity, the young man forged several bills, and. upon obtaining the money, fled the country. The princess, dcFertcd and alone, shamed her parentage by Joining the legion of adventuresses at Buda-Pesth and fell lower and lower as her beauty gradually faded. After being discharged from the hospital as cured after a long and dangerous Illness t-he found herself entirely without resource.- and took to begging for a livelihood. Until her death she depended solely upon the charity of the benevolent. Exposure and want shortened her days and she was buried last week In a common grave without a single attendant mourner.
