INCREASE OF EAILEOAD EAENLNGS. Btoer Speculators Confident That Hitlers "fflll be More Animated. EeprU to radttreet't and R. G. Dun & Co. indicate that general business is in a healthy condition all OTer the country. Iron in particular is in great demand, not withstanding the fact that the production is now enormous. rSPEClAL TELSGKAX TO THE DISFATCH.1 2ewXobk, December 13. Special tele grams to Bradttreet't report very generally a fair distribution of merchandise, but there are complaints of great scarcity of cars on the trunk lines with which to move corn. The mild weather has been widespread, checking the movement of winter clothing and other seasonable staples. Very heavy rains have checked trade on the Pacific coast, as did the Davis obsequies at 2few Orleans and elsewhere at the Soutb. But 'on the whole the volume of business remains in excess of that one year ago. In the stock market the 2 per cent West ' era TJnion dividend strengthened that stock, but elsewhere the "Vanderbilts alone ap peared to be able to resist the general de pression which has prevailed, notwithstand ing the revival on Friday and Saturday last. The manipulation of money, which has ranged from 15 to 3 per cent, has been a factor in the attack, as were the unfavorable bank statement, the depressed coal shares and the mild weather. Money is easier, but is not likely to become steady until after the January settlements. Bonds are in improving demand. Silver is in lather better request from India and it is thought that it will be from Brazil. A DECIDED INCEEASE. Hallway gross earnings reported by 137 companies for November show a total of $36,801,061, or 12 per cent more than for the like month in 188S. For 11 months of the current vear the ageregate of gross earnings is $350,760,634, or 9 per cent increase. The iron and steel industries are firmer and show more pronounced tendency to advance. Pig is now quoted $1919 50 for Ho. 1, and the outloot is mat me price win go into me new year at $20. Bessemer pig and wire rods are each higher and in demand. Production of pig is abont 170,000 tons each week, an increase of 30,000 tons weekly within six months, yet consumption is cor respondingly heavy, preventing stocks from accumulating. Boiling mills are all work f ine lull time. Steel rails are firm at $35 at the mills. At the East there is an extra ordinary demand lor lake ore for next season. Bar iron will soon be advanced to 2 cents per pound. Flour, wheat, corn and oats have all been easy with larjie stocks or free offerings, though spot wheat commands an advance of iiie over the close a week ago. Eye is 2c higher on renewed request for export Exports of wheat (and flour as wheat) amount to 2,471,216 bushels this week, of -which one-third, is from the Pacific coast, against 2,327,342 bushels last week and 1,571,619 bushels iu the second week of De cember, 18S8. EXPORTS OF WHEAT. Total exports of wheat (and ficnr as wheat) July 1 to date amount to 47.323,100 bushels, as compared with 43,571,619 bush els in a like portion of 1888, and 70,255,000 bushels in 1887. The hog products and pro visions markets still remain conspicuously the weakest on the list Receipts of hogs remain very heavy (5 per cent in excess of previous week,) and dressed and live hogs continue depressed, about 10 cents per 100 pound. Iiard options have declined frac tionally. Pork is barely steady in price. Butter and cheese are in only moderate re quest, and eggs are lower on light demand. Baw sugars are off'5-16c on the week after the renewed activity just preceding, at which dealers stocked up'freely with refined. The starting up of the new anti-trust re finery December 10 at Philadelphia and a lighter demand are featnres. There is no r-tion in prices of refined, although the movement is lighter. Speculative trading in coffee is brisk, and prices tend upward on decreasing visible stocks and reduced estimates of the Brazil ian crop. Option prices advanced 65S0 points and in distributive lines c per - pound. DEYGOODS LINES. . The cotton goods situation shows more confidence ou advances in bleached goods, brown sheetings and drills. Print cloths are in sharp contrast to the general market, with a decline of 1-lGe. Mild weather af fects the jobbing distribution of heavy goods unfavorably. "Wool is in fair demand at steady prices. Cotton is dull and with out much change in the lace of conflicting crop, estimates. Business failures reported to Bradstreet't number 370 iu the United States this week, against 281 last week and 309 this week last vear. Canada had 23 this week, against 35 last week. The total of failures in the United States Jannarv 1 to date, is 11,023, against 9.747 in 1888." i . G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review says: But for one thing the business reports re ceived this week would be exceptionally satisfactory. Unseasonable weather ac counts for depression in one or more branches of business. The trade in woolen goods and iu heavy boots and shoes is also retarded, and the anthracite coal trade even more seriously. On the other hand, there is mm. pnTnrwnHtinn in fji fant triat fliA nn.n Ki ' nvMiu nod uiftUjtu uuuu.uk, UfJHAlluua Mf uc coxrieu on. longer inau usual, o.ne Holi day trade has also commenced early and is of unusual magnitude. T't , OVEB THE COUKTBY. tT rtl J t-Ti I S .1. -!- 1 . nue HbijubHiuiiua me wnoie very guou. ?The boot and shoe trade is satisfactory. 'vPhiladelnhia carpet mills are also fall, but P -at prices which leave narrow margins, and wool ranuiacturers are working abort time. The grocery trade there largely exceeds last year's, at firm prices. At Chicago the grain trade exceeds last year's, the trade in pro visions has nearly, and in butter and cheese quite donbled, while -there is some decline in hides and a heavy decrease in wooL In nearly all lines business is large at St. Xiouis. Except in .North Central Arkansas v- and Southeast Missouri, collections are un usually easy. At Milwaukee, Omaha, St. Paulandother "Western points, while weather affects the" trade, prospects arc good, and ex cept in localities abont Milwaukee, collec tions are called fairly satisfactory. The situation is healthy, as appear, in the return of iron furnaces for December 1. which shows a weekly output of 169,151 tons, against 165.225 November 1 and 148,- s 913 a vear atro. With an output at the rate of 8,750,000 tons per annum, iron does not yield in price, though it is admitted that heavy sales have been made at figures below Philadelphia quotations, and in many in stances probably at $19, with guarantee against loss if prices fall. ADVANCING rBICES. . Steel rails are firm at $35. Advancing prices are noted at Pittsburg, and great 'activity iu ore at Cleveland, where, it it stated, the -.tire Lake Superior product for next year has been already sold, the Bes semer at $6 per ton. The speculative mar kets have been stronger, but show no tin. KH irhnlpcnmA nntivitv. Wheat has riiefn t.lr a cent with sales or only 14,000,000 bushels and corn the same, oats sot chancing. Oil has risen fi cent on small trading, and the hitth price seems to affect exports, which for November were in value $177,000 1 Til 1 a fi.jr.. I..- : .-. &y 4caa uiau-.a3fc year uuun uas risen y$ Cent with sales of 316,000 bags, and the enormous exports of cotton thus far in November hold the price unchanged. Pork has not changed, but lard and hogs are. weak. The general level of prices has slightly declined. The large railroad earn ings for November, showing 12 per cent in crease, the heavy business in progress throughout the country, and the hope of an investment demand in January, naturally make holders ot good stocks exceedingly firm. NO DANGEE NOW. Fears of a monetary difficulty have faded away, but the market has sot grown easy as yet, nor have reinforcements come from any quarter. The want of funds continues. The West finds in phenomenal business activity employment for tbe large amount sent thither, and the anticipated imports of cold from Europe do not yet arrive. The Treas ury has managed to avoid accumulation, and holds $100,000 less cash than on Friday last The business failures number 290, as com pared with a total of 316 last week. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 303.

A Lady Unreasonably Detained by Detroit Cimom Authorities Has N o Be drew Kallna of Secretary WIndom In the Case. WASHiNGTOir, December 13. Secretary Windom has written a letter to the Collec tor of Customs at Detroit in regard to the complaint of Mr. "William McCallum, of Ianolo, Neb., to the effect that his invalid wife was unreasonably detained and an noyed by the action of customs officers at Detroit on her recent visit to Canada. The facts in this case are that Mrs. Mc Callum brought a partly made suit of clothing for her little son, with enough of the same piece of cloth to complete it, not exceeding $5 in value. The inspector who examined the trunk assumed this to be du tiable, and instead of collecting the duty at once and permitting the lady to continue her journey, detained her overnight, at her own expense, took possession of her bag gage, and the next day further obstructed and distressed her by the failure of the customs officers to attend to their duties and the' inefficient character of the business methodsjat Detroit with references to the ex amination from Canada. The Secretary says: It is a matter of regret to the department that such an occurrence should be possible at any custom house in tbe United States, and you cannot be too earnestly conjured to take immediate steps to prevent further occurrences ot the same kind, which can only tend to make tho public service odious. While nothing can be done to compensate Mrs. McCallum for the mental trouble and disturbance inflicted upon her, it is expected tbat you will find some proper means to reimburse her for all the ex penses to which she was unjustifiably put by the virtual seizure and detention ot her per sonal effects, and to lnstrnct your subordinates to exercise proper judgment toward the public, especially to ladies traveling alone, in the future performance of their duties. You will also cease the illegal practice of taking merchandise from baggage and from the pos session of tbe owner, levying the duty thereon and transmitting tbe eoods by express to the owner, with Instructions to collect the duties on delivery. Yon are further requested to furnish a copy of this letter to Mr. McCallum, who -has the thanks of the department for bringing to Its attention the unbnsiness-llke metnoos pursued at your pore.
