TAYLOR'S SHORTAGE.

PiKitin:. S. D., Jan. 10. The attorney geneva 1 has begun ault on the bond of ex-Treasurer Taylor. 1 1 is understood that the bond will be eontested. Kx-Gov. Melette. who qualified for 850.1100, wires that he will Imj here to-night and w ill straighten out the shortage. As his proportion, however. Is only 10 per cent, of the defalcation, the state oillcials do not place much reliance on it. It is believed Taylor is in hiding in the east. It is known that he hail, when he left here fully a quarter of a million in reash, and he could have drawn in New'York 5100,000 more. It is believed that he has certain confederates here who are keeping him ldvisedof the proceedings. A strong a'ttempt Is loiiig made to throw doubt on the validity of the bonds, and it is suspected that the plan is to force the state into a compromise with the bondsmen for a moderatesum. and then, when the settlement is completed and Taylor promised immunity, he will make good the losses of the bondsmen. All sorts of rumors have been set afloat here by Taylor's friends to prevent a rigid prosecution. It is said that the shortage is due to the liberality with which he supported various banks during the panic, and received notes on which he has failed to realize. The state officials are making strenuous efforts to raise sufiiclent cash to keep the various state institutions running, and a peremptory call for taxes is expected to produce enough to tide over the ditliculty for some time; but the state auditor feels positive that South Dakota must default on the bond interest due in June.

Yester day in the .superior court opened fittest case of Mrs. Helen M. Gougar sgainst the election precinct ollieers of this city for denying her the rigltt of .franchise at the late election. Mrs Gotigar was admitted to the bar and all day argued in her own behalf upon the proposition whether under the con stitution and laws a woman was en titled to vote at the election. She con tended that it is not necessarv to write another line of law in Indkma to inaugurate woman suffrage, that all that is needed is a liberal interpretation of existing laws. The argument was a strong elaboration of the posi tion long contended for bv suffragists. but now for the lirst time raised in a legal proceeding in Indiana, that un der a federal constitution Hie nghl to vote is already given to women: that she is simply by custom and practice deprived of that which is bylaw right fully hers.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW. Hut Utile ChMiiee In MHklne. sine tha New Yt'Mi-.itut That Xt fur lllglirr I'rlre, - Ineresel S, kllr Kexill or Owrpr... duetitiii 'w I'mII In Howie n J u I inlrr the !ereunl Tariff iMity Stork, stronger. Kir. Nkw York. Jan. li'U, G. Dm, ,fc Co.'k weekly review of trade, lisn 1 1 jday, says: Neither the Wirinnlng of the newyear nor the failure of the eurreiiev hill has brought any material change to business as yet. The idea that bus., ness would suddenly take a now start after the holidays had rather less foundation even than usual, but the rope of strong revival a little later is still cherished by many. The currency bill, with its possibilities of vie'ims amendments, was a source of apprehension to some, but with that out of the way. the deficiency of treasury receipts and exports of gold do not cease. Exchanges through principal clearing houses are 2..1 per cent, larger than last year, but 21.2 per cent, less than in ls'j:i. There has not Ih'cii much time for change in the industries, but differences observed since the new year Kgan are not in the direction of higher prices or larger demand. There are more indications than of late that stocks of different kinds of goods have been accumulating in consequence oi past increase in production. In the boot and shoe manufacture increasing disposition to restrict orders, where any advance; in price is asked, unsettles the business, for while

.some manufacturers have orders for six weeks or more, most, of them require further orders to run more than atKHtt two weeks. The question whether prices now demanded for leather are too high for healthy trade, may 1 determined only after some embarrassment. The cotton manufacture reports decreased demand, with print cloths down to 2. 02 cents: printed staples much demoralized and lower, and wide sheetings generally reduced about 7 t jK'r cent. Many quotations of cotton goods are the lowest on record, the week's trade being quite unsatisfactory. Trade in woolens hesitates leeause of large distribution from warehouse under new duties, but little change up pears in prices, and heavy woolens art expected to open ataliout last year's quotations. The demand for dress goods has been remarkably satisfactory until within two weeks, but has fallen off. Sales of wool, r,2.K",,71." tounds. against ..S0."...'.(;0 two years ago. indicate hopefulness among manufacturers. S'lK-culation in products has Ken more active. Corn has risen l cents. and the receipts arc but little ovei half of last year's, the practical disappearance of export demands, then large, counts for about as much. Lit tie attention is paid to the government report that, the yield was only 1.218.000. 000: bushels, 111d the advance estimate for wheat. 402,207.110 bushels, was treated as equally unimportant. As receipts of wheat have fallen to I,ÖO.,710 bushels, against 1. sl.i,.Vs2 last year, and .Ulan tic exports have become larger than a year ago. the advance of 14 cents in price is not surprising. Cotton is so low that scarcely any reason is needed for a fractional recovery, but with 7.OO0.OW) bales already in sight and the stocks abroad for months, there is little to cause much recovery. Stocks have grown stronger 02 cents per share since the lirst week of the month, partly Wcauso there is Borne investing of funds being distributed, and anxiety alout money has lessened.
