Threatened Failures Prevented by Activity in Retail Trade. New York, May 2.—R. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly review of trade, say: “As the season advances there Is more business, but advicea fruTlcate that on the whole the prevalent -feeling is that the gain is less than therf was reason to expect, while retail trade lias been active enough to materially lessen stocks and obligations. and thus to prevent a great many thteatened embarrassments. It has not yet brought enough new business to mills or factories to prevent decrea: e of unfilled orders and, closing ox some works. Substantially the same sjt.-ite of things exists in all the great Industries', not withstanding the strong combinations in some, and evidence of inadequate consumption appears in the fact that the general range of piices of commodities, farm and mine as well as manufactured products, is nearly one per cent. lower than It was April 1. and the lowest ever known, the decline since October. 1592. being 16.7 per cent. Nor ' can this he attributed to scarcity of money, which is easier and more abundant as the liquidation of many dealers lessens outstanding obligations. Foreign operations have been of no Influence in American securities; but shipments of silver have again been Urge. Stocks have remained practically wkhont change. “Speculation has raised cotton art eighth, though receipts arid crop prospects still favor lower prices, and accumulated stocks of ungold goods are very large. Wheat has deeitned*. 4S cents for cash. With only . two months of the crop year remaining there is little to encou:age higher prlcea Silk has weakened a little owing to ttie overloading of Japanese dealers. Wool Is weak, the,, wool year closing with the greatest quantity of, woo! on hand ever carried al this season.' Woolen goods have not Improved in demand, and flannels have opened J to 15 per cent, lower than last ’ rear Dress goods are helped by the restrtc--1 Holl cf foreign imports, but the asse-lation t reports that on the whole, wool mat-ldpery Ila not more than, halt employed. Some : cotton mills have ceased production.

VOTES TO SPAtiE. McKinleys Managers Say He Has More Than Is Needed. Gpphsitltm Leaders Dispute Their Claims —Clarkson Says That the ‘•Field’* Candidates ACe Not Disheartened* Bat Will Fight to the Last. Cleveland, 0., May 4.—At the McKinley headquarters ih this city it is contended that the Ohioan now has 505 tbtes. If this prediction is verified McKinley has enough to nominate hint on the first ballot, for it will require only 456 votes to nominate, lhe list us made up by the managers of the McKinley campaign is as follows: Alabama 20 New York ......... 4 Arkansas 16;Ohlo ’. 46 Arisona ..**.*,.*.*.. 6 Oklahoma.; 4 Florida ~****<*<**..

McKinley, 275: for all other candidates, 217; contested and doubtful, Uq; Vermont, 8. Mr. Manley re- I fuses to put the Vermont delegation in the McKinley column. He says the convention in Vermont was a surprise to the friends of Mr. Keed. They had a right to expert that Vermont would join with the rest of NCw England and send a .delegation pledged to the support of the New Englund candidate. The deleo-nlcs selected unquestionably prefer the nomination of Mr. Keed. How far they will feel bound by the declaration of preference for Gov* McKinley by their convention time alone will determine. It must be remembered that the convention did not instruct the delegates and-left them free to exercise their own judgment. Preferences and even instructions in the past have not uniformly governed the delegates, because the conditions under which they were passed did not exist at the time the delegates werg' called upon to discharge the duties intrusted to them. Washington. May 4.—Among republicans in Washington are Mr. Ft ?senden. member of the republican national committee for Connecticut, and Mir. Clarkson, for lowa. The gentleman had conferences with Senators Quay and Allison and other friends. Mr Clarkson was asked: “Has McKinjey a majority of the delegates already, and-what of the. claim that he will be nominated by ncclamation?” He replied: ■yi . "He has not nearly a majority yet. nor will he, in my Judgment, enter the convention with a majority. Indeed, he will be shorter of a majorit.v on the first ballot at St. Louis than Blaine was In the emotional year of 1876, Grant 4n .1880. or Sherman in ISSB. when the latter in a field of 14 candidates voted for on the first ballot had 329 votes. He will not be nominated by acclamation, because I can say positively that Allison, Quay and Morton will remain in the Contest, and so surely will Keed. andj judge so will Bradley and Calle m. Allison has not the least idea of withdrawing, ne>r lowa any Idea of .giving up the-.fight. I believe this is true for the other candidates and their states. McKinley will faH from 80 to 100 votes short of enough to nominate at the start, and the field will represent from 525 to 550 votes. Bj- the field I mean Allison, Reed. Quay. Bradley, Morton and Cullom, already suggested, and such other available men as Harrisofi. Lincoln, Foraker, Hobart. Davis and Gen. Tracy, of New York." Mr. Clarkson further expressed the opinion that "the field" would hold firm. Re-, ferrlng to his allusion to Gen. Harrison being in the available field of candidates, Mr. Clarkson said: “In one respect Harrison would give the earliest certainty of anyone who could be nominated, for the day he should be nominated, the country would what his policyJ us president would be on the .tariff, and exactly what it would be on finance, and this would quickly bring confidence and good times behind it.” FAMOUS BANKER DEAD.

That Extreme tired feeling afflicts nearly everybody at this season. The hnstlers cease to push, the tireless grow weary, the energetic become enervated. You know just what we mean.
