Better Business Outlook. R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says: “There are continued signs that a gain in business-has begun. Stocks have gone higher than they were before the artificial break ten days ago; wheat and cotton are in better demand; there is more confidence in monetary circles, and the tendency toward shrinkage in great industries seems in some measure, at least, to be checked. While the outcome of the Democratic convention is uncertain, and the great, crops are not yet wholly beyond danger, a sure and strong Improvement could hardly be expected, but the tone in business circles has grown distinctly more hopeful.” Magee Resents a Cartoon. At Pittsburg, Pa., the grand jury has returned true bills in the libel suit of U. L. Magee ami Senator William Flinn against A. Reed, E. Bartlett and W. J. Christay of the Commercial Gazette, and C. W. Houston. C. E. Locke and the Press Publishing Company. This is the result of an article in the Commercial Gazette and a cartoon in the Press, asserting that Magee and Flinn's assistance in the Mc ? j Kinley campaign was due to the receipt of SIOO,OOO from Mark Hanna’s satchel to carry on the fight against Senator Quay. Magee and Flinn denied the charge: Whitney Won't Ran. William C. Whitney, of New York, made a public statement in which he defines the political situation, makes his position clear as regards his decision to remain in this country instead of going to Europe, and concludes by saying that be Is not a presidential possibility; that he “would not run if nominated and would not serve if elected.”
