A CIPHER TELEGRAM

Ktetltetl by the 'vy DrfHtrtMeat frem Vmfl. l'lrklu Bt Looked Upon M HlKRlHratit, Imllr.tlH that th Tower Have TlrrU tif ttm lllmlcric to Trade at Kio Janeiro anil I'roM to Vat m Hto to It. Washington, Nov. 18. A cipher telegram received by the navy department last evening from Capt. Picking, under yesterday's date, from Rio do Janein, is looked upon as significant and povsibly indicating a weakening ot the strength of the lusurgent fleet under Admiral Mello. The translation was as follows: Naval ix-prf -.eiuatlrn of clirht "natiotn, Inclutlltu our nation, havo ilrcldett not to per mit munitions of war to t-o landed at Kio. Santos bolna still In poneislon of the Hraziliao Bovornmcat. and eoRtieetcit will Klo do Janeiro by railway, munition of wir can bo Ltndttl at Santo--, Yesterday thu luiurjtenU Iren! ship. The Ilrsizllian Kovernmrnt forts 11 red n national s.ilute la honor ot tho cstabUthmenl of the republic. The only interpretation to bo put upon this dispatch Is that the naval representatives at Rio havo decided that there shall be no interference with commerce and have formally notified the insurgent admiral they will prevent it The probabilities are, and this is the view taken by froverninent officials here, that this action weakens Mello very much, for if he cannot close the ports of Rio and bring- the city into subjection it cannot be conjectured how he can make his rebellion successful. It looks to naval officers very much s if Mello had leen badly crippled. This action is in line with that indicated in previous dispatches from Capt Picking to the effect that foreign represenatives held a conference and notified Mello that he must respect the nationality of any lighter engaged in unloading visels anil flying tho flag at its bow indicating its nationality. It appears that a studied effort has lieen made to give Mello no excuse to fire ujxin the eit$ An agreement was made some time ago that there should be no firing- between the forces in Rio and the insurgents in the bay. This was violated on one occasion, although it is not known if any damage resulted. Today's dispatches indicate that the naval ofilcers on duty there in their protection of foreign interests are determined that this agreement shall le enforced: for this last notice is the result of concerted action on the part of the allied powers to prevent any firing upon the city and damage to commerce by either side.

Stocks have sllirhtly declined, railroads an avera-.ro ot 33ccnts perjdjaro. and trusts il.'Zt per share, the grangers ami some of the trusts lelng especially weak. The impression prevails that earnings of railroads must decline greatly now that the passenger traftlc Is no longer sustained by the fair. Hut freight receipts alone, declined In October II " per cent , tompared with last year, and lit tho tlrt week of November 10.1 ier cent., and although passenger earnings s.howed a gain of only 11.4 per cent., aguinst 2I.tper cent, in October, the decrease on all roads was hut 4.K per cent, for tho tlrst week on November. It is also to ba remembered that the earnings represent that part of November In which the tendency to recovery was least apparent. In produce markets weakness was the rule, and yet tho yielding was hut small. Wheat Is tiuoted a full cent weaker, though western receipts are about SWAM bushels less than usual, tho Atlantic exports being only 10M bushels, against U.3W.UO0 last year. Corn 1 I cent lower, with larger receipts. Cotton, with large receipts, is an eighth lower, l'ork products are lower, with large selling, and coffee Is also lower. The condition of the industries Improves, but they will await the revival of purcha-es bv consumers. Twenty-four works of all kinds have wholly or In part resumed, against fourteen closing, yet lessthan halt the iron-workln power Is active, and out of ninety-nine woolen works at tho east only ten arc working full time, while forty-tlve were shut! down No ember 1, the production for four months In men's woolen being ll.3I3.131 yards, against 25,551,304 last year. The state factory inspectors report that out or W,ft persons employed In textile mills In Philadelphia, only 1..W arc at work. Therefore It Is moro gratifying that, for th tlrst time in many months, the salo of wool exceed those of thesamu week last year. Clothiers evidently be.'ln to reallz-' that they cannot get goods at all. unless their orders prevent a general closing of thu mills early In llecembcr. In toots and shoes t hro Is also decided Im provement. In spito ot tho fact that orders aro maller than usual; and most factories aro receiving orders, though not enough for full em ployment. Shipments from Ilonton for thu week wore only 5 per cent. less than i year ago. The great cnango In steel rails, which aro nald to bo selling at Pittsburgh for t instead off."; a few weeks ago. has given much stimulus to the demand for materials, and westorn mills havo also taken somo large structural contracts. A little better tone is seen In pig Iron, and large orders are reported for cast pieces, ltut the whole business Is still small. The New Jersey Central has suggested a utoppage of anthracite collieries for two days In the week to sustnln the price, and thera I en Id to be general assent. Tho decrease In the volume of business through tho clearinghouses continues nbout thesainc. and for the past week twos IS.O per cent. The failures this week numlK-r 331 In the United States, against last year; and 36 la Canada, ngalnsl 35 last year. EMIGRANTS' MOVABLES. An Opinion by the Intf r-Stato Commerce Coinmldslon la Kegard to Kail road Itatre on "Kuiltrantu' Movables." Washington, Nov. 18 The Intcr-stato commerce onimission yesterday. In an opinion by Commissioner Clements, announced lUi decision in the cases of ltlanton Duncan against the Atchison, Topeka it Santa Fe system, and against the Southern Pacific Kailroad Co. and the Louisville &. Nashville Railroad Co. The decision contains important rulings o railway rates on household floods and Immigrants' movables. Pnderthe western classification there are two west-bound carload rates from Mississippi river points to Pacific coast terminals on goods termed 'Emigrants' movables.'' One is a general class rate and the other riesignnted a "commodity" rate, and less than the general rate; the latter rate is published as lwlng1 open to "intending settlers aly," but in practice it U friven to nippers indiscriminately. The committee holds that there Is no necessity for retaining the two rates, ami that the west-bound rate on "cmijrrniits' movables' from Louisville to Los Angeles might not to be in excess of the amount of the commodity rato thereon.
