tr; n vwJ r EVENING BULLETIN. VOIiUME xm. MATSVELLE, KY., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1894. NUMBER 83. X IX JDi FEATURESOFFIMOE Condition of Business at Vari ous Trade Centers. R. G. DUN & COMPANY'S REPORT. Cotton Below Six Cents nnd Whcnt Helow Fifty-Five Cents, Each Lowor Than Kvcr Slnco Present Classifications Were Known, and Exports of Gold In October Aro tlio Salient Features. New York, Oct. 20. R. G. Dan & Company's weokly roviow of trado says: Cotton below 0 coats and wheat below 65 cents, each lower than ovor sinco present classifications wcro known. Ex port of gold, instead of products at such prices in October, aro tho saliont fea tures in business this week. Distribu tion of fooas to consumers goes on fair ly, with gains at nearly all points in comparison with last year, but not yet at a rate to sustain tho present volumo of manufacturing production, so that prices weaken a little. The domostio trado reported by rail road earnings in October is 3.4 per coat less than last year and 18.4 per cont less than in 1892. Tho paymonts through tho principal clearinghouses for tho third week of October aro 3.8 per cont greater than last year, but 81.5 per cent loss than in 1892. Tho daily average for tho month is 5.6 per cont larger than last year, but 28.2 smaller than in lb92. With many features of encourage ment business has not yet reached ex pectations, and it is evident that tho loss of port of tho corn crop and tho un naturally low prices of other went staples affects tho buying powor of mill ions. Wheat for October delivery fell to 6-1.12 couts on Wednesday, and in spite of soma recovery tho average for Oc tober thus far is two cents bolow tho lowest monthly avorago over made, which was in September, and was near ly 10 cents bolow tho lowest prior to this year, tho October average being 50 cents below that of October, 18!U or 18U0. Western recoipts nro only 4,700,891 bushels for the week against 0,001,838 last year, and Atlantic ports 031,084 bushels, against 893,848 last year, but tho controlling fact is that no demand as yet promises to clear away tho enor mous surplus. Corn declinod ono-half a cent during tho week with receipts not a quurtor of last year and exports not a tenth. Pork products wore small and weaker, with lard one-fourth cent lowor. Cotton sold at 5.94 cents on Thursday, and with Ellison's cstimato that tho world will consume 8,248,000 bales, American, tho stock of 2,000,000 bales in sight and tho estimated yield of ovor 9,000,000 bales deter buyers. Domestic exports from this city in two weeks of October wore 18 per cont less in value than last year, whilo tho increase in valuo of imports has been 27 per cont. Much of tho decrease in ox ports is in price, but in August and Sep tember tho quantity of wheat decreased over a third. Provisions and cotton gained but oil decreased, and in minor products, ox ports in September declined 10 percout. Tho increase of exports, exclusive of sugar, was over 25 por cent in Septem ber and in two weeks of October at New York, over 43 per cent. With this heavy increase in purchasos, and a decrenso in sides of products abroad, tho market for foreign oxchango is in a position to bo quickly affected by withdrawals of capital or appre hensions regarding tho f uturo peaco of Europe, lc appears that three trust companies hero now hold ovor $40,000, 000 idle money, and that eastern mill loans are taken from Now York by Now England banks, whilo tho northwestern demand for money is unusually small. The treasury is again falling backward in reserve and large imports yield a lit tle loss rovenuo than last year, whilo internal rovenuo for tho past three weeks is $4,000,000 smaller than a year ago. Tho iron and steel business makes a bettor showing this week, Bessomor pig having stiffened to $10.90 at Fittsburg, and at Chicago and Now York further structural and bridgo orders have been placed, but bar iron has fallen to 90 cents for common and $1 for steol at Pittsburg, which aro prices bolow thoso cuiTont in Great Britain. There is a good demand for sheets and eoino good bridge contracts aro leportod. Tho Pennsylvania railroad reports its mate rial account 50 per cent less than last year up to date. During the past weok tho failures have been 253 in the United States, against 841 last yoar, and 43 in Canada, agaiust 29 last year. , DEATH LIST GROWING. One Moro Victim of tho Washington C. II.

Tho Nows corrospondont learned from Mr. J. B. Young of Gordon, who camo in on tho westbound train, thut at a point about two miles this sido of Gor don, four mou, unmasked, approached tho soction gang and forced thorn to ob struct tho road and flag tho train as it approached, and when tho train was stopped tho bandits forced tho oxpress messongor to opon tho door of tho ex press car. They also forced tho section men to go into tho car with a sledgo hammer and try to batter tho combina tion off tho oxpress safo, but their ef forts to opou tho safo were unfruitful. Tho mossougor's way safo was battered open and what money there was in it was taken by tho robbors. Tho amount secured, it is estimated, runs anywhere botwoon $500 and $5,000. Today being pay day at Thurbcr for the largo number of hands that work at the mines, there was in tho combination safo $30,000, consigned to tho Pacific Coal company, which was to pay off t' hands. Suspicious characters havo been 6een for tlio past month or so in that section, and tho express company was prepared for tho attack, as thoy had on tho train ono of their special com bination safes to which no agent along tho routo know tho combination. Tho express company had a special man back in their coach who know tho combina tion to the safo cud who wouldcome lor ward at stations where he was ueu-.iud and opon tho safo. The passengers and mail cars were not molested by tho rob bers. After tho robbery was committed the four robbers walked away towards tuo mountains, wliistltng, going in a south erly direction. Tho Texas and Pacific Coal company of Thurbor havo offorod $500 reward for tho captnro of tho rob bers. Tho train was in chargo of Con ductor J. H. . lcLoud, tho express car in chargo of Messongor Marshall Gay.

Tho grand jury of last summer called to investigate tho strike brought in a large numbor of indict ments, ono for each road, in which Dobs and tho other officers of the union were charged with conspiring with tho per sons on tho various roads who committed acts of violouco. It was feared that if a conviction was not secured on ono of these indictments tho government might bo barrod from trying tho officers on the others, for tho roason that the conspiracy alloged is practically tho same and tho officers aro defendants in all the oases. In order to avoid any danger on that scoro, tho om nibus affair, on which all, officers and strikers, may bo tried at ouco, was ro tnrned.

THE CZAR IS DYING I All Doubt About HIsTrue Con dition Removed. DIPLOMACY RED TAPE BROKEN. NoIIopoThnt tho Imperial Suflurer Will Kvcr Agniu Itlso From Ills lied His Itulatlves Around Ills lledsldo Awaiting tlto Lust Summons Tlio Physicians' Last bulletin Gives No Hope For the Hotter.

His gcnoral weakness and the action of his heart aro unchanged. The oedema of the feet which proviously appeared has increased. His general coutAion is un changed. This bulletin is signed by tho fivo doctors in attoudauco upon his majesty. Further news from Lividia is anx iously awaited. All kinds of conflict ing rumors aro afloat. It is impossible to learn anything in official quartors bo youd the bulletins. Several Russian journals havo hurriedly sent special cor respondents to Lividia. Grave fears aro expressed that Prin cess Alix will arrive at Yalto too late to allow of her marriage to tho czarewitch taking placo before tlio czar's death. DIP-OMACY RED TAPE BROKEN. Tho True Condition of tho Cxar Mado Known In London. London, Oct. 20. The last red tape cordon that is always drawn around tho truth by diplomacy was brokon yester day when M. DoStaal, tho Russian am bassador to Great Britain, admitted to tho representative of tho Associated Press that telegrams that had boon re ceived at the embassy preclude any hope that tho imperial sufferer would over again rise from his bed. Baron Mohrenhoim, Russian ambassador to Franco, furnished the Paris Figaro with tho samo unwelcomo nows. If this is not suiHciout tho flight of court offioials, tho forced and hurried journeys of members of tho Russian imperial family across Europe, tho alarm of tho various courts, tho shiver ing bourses aud tho prayers offered up in churches, are irrefutable testimony of the f aot that tho czar is dying. HIS RELATIVESAROUND HIM. Tho Cur Iu lied Awaiting tho Last Sum mons. London, Oct. 20. Tho correspondent of Tho Times at St. Petersburg telo graphs: Tho czar has takou to his bed uud his imperial relatives aro now gath ering around him. With an orgauio disease 6uch as his the continual decline of strength is one of tho most alarming symptoms. I hoar from one of tho best informed persons in Lividia that certain other distressing symptoms give considerable ground for tho bolief that tho disease is cancer of tho kidneys and this opinion is Bhared by independent medical men who have narrowly watched tho caso from afar. In official circles it is con sidered that the condition of tho czar could not bo moro critical. Whon his majesty arrived in tho Crimea ho had slept very littlo or not at all for 10 nights. Tho first fow nights that ho was in Lividia ho slept woll and tho chango to tho balmy air of tho Cri mea coast seemed to refresh him. There was so much improvement iu his gen eral condition that it gavo groat hopes of his eventual recovory, but tho disease itself was slowly getting worse. How It Will Affect Knglund. London, Oct. 20. Tho Pall Mall Ga zotto says that a chango of rulers will make littlo difforonco iuBido of Russia, though revolutionary activity is apt to tako advantago of a temporary weak ness of tho oxecutivo administration upon tho accession of a now head of state. "Every one in Europo," Tho Gazetto gays, "is gratoful for tho czar's policy of peaco, but amoug tho counsellors of the czarewitch are somo men who havo long bittorly regretted the unambitious foi -eign policy of Russia."
