R. G. Dun weekly review of trade The markets show the influence of two powerful opposing forces. A great expansion of currency, with ease following the strin gency in the money markets of the chief cities, tends to lift prices and revive spec ulation. But a shrinkage in demand for many products, the natural result of partial fa lure of crops, makes distribution less active, and collections less prompt than many expected, while losses in past speculations, and the beginning of reaction in real est a to, make the prospect lass favor, able in some sections.

The improve. ment in prices, for which men looked in vain a week ago, has appeared in sev- eral markets. Stocks sank last Saturday to tue lowest average for seventeen months, but have improved considerably during this- -Wheat has risen 21-4 speculation' growing active at Chi cago attin. Corn has advanced about 1 Cent, though hogs and pork prodncts have slightly declined. Cotton is a shade higher, with large speculative purchases based on reports of damaging frosts.

Oil has risen 3 cents. Sugar is made strong, by the formation of a trust to con trol refining. Wool is more firm, though no The is bet ter, and prices of cattle are a shade higher. Coffee fell to 19 cents Wednesday, but has recovered slightly. Copper is lower, but tin has advanced, with some excitement.

Looking to the lending branches of trade and industry, outside of speculative markets, we find signs of decreasing consumption. Steel rails continue weak, and the fact comes out that orders for 1SSS delivery far cover only J4.0UO tons new business. At Pittsburgh the demand is almost nil and pig-iron is weaker. The reasoning that shrinkage in railroad consumption will be compensated by larger use in other directions is met by the prospect that buildiug of all sort? has gone on at such a rate that reaction is probable. The abatement of real estate speculation at many points checks further reconstruction for the time.

Wool sales continue 40 per cent, below those of last year at Boston, and the goods trade offers no promise of improvement to manufacturers. 1'ry goods are moderately active for the season, and some kinds of cotton goods have been advanced, but in other quarters distribution is found less prompt than was expected. Print cloths are lower at 3 and foreign goods move slowly in ull departments. The grocery trade shows the effect of a shrinkage demand in several branches, and the outlook is not regarded as entirely satisfactory. Butter is weak and unsettled.

Coffee hesitates, in part because distribution has not met expectations. Spices are dull for the same reason, and teas are weakened by accumulation of stocks. The boot and shoe trade is satisfactory. Good buying and good paying are noted. The Northwestern lumber business is made more active by reductions of rail rates and the flonr movement at Minneapolis is large.

Coal consumption hi September was also much larger than in the same month last year, but the Lehigh strike continues. A large strike of shoemakers at Philadelphia has commenced; ami the labor disturbances are becoming more frequent. Interior towns generally report slow collections, though improvement is noted at St. Paul, New Orleans and a few points. Money is still tight, or de cidedly close at many Western cities, and closer than before at Chicago, with continuing movement to the country.

While trade is generally reportsd large in volume, and exchanges continue larger than last year, the slowness of collections indicates less satisfactory distribution than was anticipated. The treasury still puts out money through deposits with banks, and after taking out a largo amount of foreign bullion, holds but more cash of all kinds than a week ago. New York banks find that the drain of money to the interior has not yet ceased, as was expected. Foreign trade for October shows an increase of 2.8 per cent, in exports, and 5 per cent, in imports, but the movement of securities, upon which the monetary future largely depends, has been for the past week variable and uncertain.

Nora King accused the -Larue woman of poisoning the mind of the landlady against her, and a violent quarr.el ensued. It waxed warmer and finally both drew knives, and before the bystanders could interfere the infuriated women were slashing each other, and their faces were covered with blood. The Larue woman was particularly vicious, and stabbed her fpponent once the abdomen, once under the left eye, cat a deep gash- across her breast, nearly severed a finger" from her left hand, and cut her almost to pieces. Mamie Larue was stabbed in the thigh, a very deep and painful wound being inflicted. Both are dangerously if not fatally wounded.

A Eescued Crew. YORK, 22. The German steamship Saale, which arrived hereto-day from Bremen, brought the captain and crew of eleven mon of the Norwegian bark New Brunswick, which was abandoned at sea.

Took a Permanent Salt Water Bath. Galveston, Oct. 22. Captain Burrows of the steamship San Marcos, of the Mallory line, which arrived from New York yesterday, reports that on the morning of the 19th instant a German coal handler named John Lenz, who shipped at New York, came upon deck and plunged overboard while the vessel was going at full speed.

i 3 Safe Return i ol the Presidential Party to Washington After Their Long Jaunt. The President and Mrs. Cleveland Highly Pleased With Their, New and Novel i And Particularly Gratified at the Various Manifestations of Non-Partisan Loyalty to the Chief Magistrate. Homo Araiiw; Washington, Out, 22. The presidential trainJrew Into th Baltimore Potomac depot miuutos before seen o'clock this morning.

1 he President and Mrs. Cleveland, Colonel I.amont, Drs. Bryant and Bissell were driven to the Ex-exutive Mansion, aud FostinasWr-General and Mrs. Vilas directly to their home. Messrs.

Bissell and Bryant expect to leave Wasfilngton for Buffalo and New York respectively on late trains this afternoon. Curiosity. too see the cars in which the party has been traveling for the past three weeks brought quite a number ol people to the depot this morning, Sincy leaving Washington, at nearly every stop the cars have been thoroughly cleansed and in several cases paint and varnish have been applied. In this way they have beeu kept bright aud fresh, and barring a few scratches on the sides, caused by people climbing up to look through the windows, thoy return as good and as handsome as thoy departed. There has not been a dav sinco the train left the capital, on September 3, that the drawing-room of the Presi dent car has not been decorated throughout with fresh flowers, received from friends ulong the line of travel, and, indeed, during the greater part of the time it has beeu impossible to carry the floral etrerings on the train.

In many cities flowers presented to the President "and his good lady have been distributed among the orphan asylums, soldiers' hospitals and other charitable institutions. From first to last the trip has beeu a thorough success. The President and Mrs. Cleveland are pleased with what they huve seen aud the many congenial acquaintances they have made. Without a single exception the citizens of every city visited, irrespective of politics, have shown the most profound respect for the distinguished travelers, used every endeavor to make stay manifested deep regret when the time arrived to say -good-bye." The President has more than once expressed regret that his official duties would not permit longer absence, in order that he might have complied with some of the ninny urgent request for "a few minutes' stop," which have been received by him since he left Washington.

There have been many amusing incidents along the route (nearly all of which have been recorded from time to time), and also many very impressive scenes. Doubtless none of the latter; were more appreciated by the President and Mrs. Cleveland than the heartfelt congratulations showered upon them at different points by old ladies, who apparentlv made their way to the stations, for the first time in years, with a view of paying tribute to the Nation's executive. The President during the trip often spoke of the many elaborate decorations and illuminations of iarmhouses, and appeared especially pleased with the honor bestowed upon bim by that class of people. It is no exaggeration to say that the "swing around the eighteen States," and the covering of upward of miles, has been one of the most complete ever made in this or any other country.

The greatest possible precautions have been taken to insure absolute safety; pilot trains have been run by nearly every road over which the special train passed, and patrols have been stationed at nearly every mite pot. i MrsCleveiuhd has stood the hard journey as well as any member of the and her appearance when she alighted from the P. this morning gave no room for a suggestion of fatigue. Mrs. Vilas, who has been somewhat indisposed for a day or so past, was alsoeulins well again this morning.

Before leaving the train the President and Mrs. Cleveland bade the traveling companions good-bye, and wish -d God speed to those whose journey was nit ended with their arrival in Washington. Layinif the Corner-stone of Clark University. Worcester, (Jet. 22.

Deeuner nave oeen piaceu upon tjxuiuLbiuu. in the galleries of the American Art Association, at Twenty-third street and Broadway, and will be sold at auction on the of November and the following day, The library constitutes by far the most valuable and interesting part af the collection. It comprises about 5,000 volumes, perhaps a third of them containing Mr. Beecher's auto graph or memoranda on the margins, Many of the editiqns are, sufficiently rare to have value, but the majority are simply interesting because they belonged to Mr. Beecher and bear his name.

There are two editions of Dickens' works, both rare ones, the first, that in fifty-four volumes, printed for -subscribers in 1807-1871, of whJth only 100 copies were issued, aud a recent -Loudon edition (is4), tuirry volumes, of which 530 copies were printed. Some of the more important and costly works wore presents to Mr. Beecher by noted men. The library fills the lower gallery and will take several evenings to selK The pictures are not many and of slight interest. The best of them is, prob ably, a landscape by Pelouse, the French artist.

The etchings and engravings are mostly well-known plates. Mr. Beecher's bric-a-brac contains quite a number of excellent pieces, bnt mostly smnll and of no especial value. The whole upper gallery is filled with bric-a-brac, which Mr. Beecher picked up In all parts of the world.

There are many rus, some of them excellent specimens of Oriental and a number of curtains and por tieres of no particular interest. The fur niture includes several tables, two writ ing desks, some clocks, screens, etc. The exhibition is open to the public from Monday next. A RUNAWAY ENGINE.

22. The haste with which Mr. Arthur J. Balfour, Chief Secretary for comes forward to deny the statement that the raid upou Farmer Sexton's house, resulting in the killing of Constable Wulehan, was organized by the informer Vamnaii at the instigation of the police, in spite of the fact that Callfnan himself has so' testified, denotes that the Chief Secretary is not nearly so aoiiant of public opinion con cerning the present administration in Ireland as he would have it believed, While Calliuuu's testimony mayor may not be true, it must either be accepted in its entirety or wholly disregarded. There is no part of his deposition that does ribt show hitu to be as thorough a scoundrel as over disgraced mankind by his existence, yet the attendant circumstances of the raid in question and the corroborative tes timony of other witnesses, prove that he told the truth when he professed his alliance with the police in manufacturing evi.ienee or Irish crime.

The-case involv ing Whelehan's death and Callllmn's in famy has been disposed of for the present ut least, and in ruking it up for the pur- poso of denying statements already proved, Mr. Balfour incurs the suspicion of attempting to raise a cloud of dust with the object of blinding the eyes of the peo ple to other outrages, in which govern ment officials much higher in rank that mere constables are Immediately Concerned. Nobody doubts Mr. Balfor's willingness or even anxiety to enforce co ercion iii tho most rigorous manner, to cause the people of Ireland to writhe and groan under the crushing weight of the statutes literally applied, and to forever deprive them of the rights granted to the people and held sacred by the govern ments of every civilized nation on the globe than Irelund, but everybody acquits nun oi cowardice, or a desire to employ underhanded methods in accomplishing uis purposes. The question, therefore.

naturally arises: Does the Irish secretary realize that he has braved publio opinion too far, or does he really believe ms is able to hoodwink the British public and the people of Ireland as well, by the general denial? It would be well for himself, for the government and for the people if an affirmative answer to the first question is the correct one. He has published himself in Dublin with the avowed purpose of enforcing a single aw io me fullest extent. subor dinating every other statute thereto. Other laws may be violated unheeded, but the Crimes act must be olx-yed in its minutest particular. In short, Mr.

Balfour proposes to govern Ire land under owe law, while the people in sist upon tne euiorcoment of all the laws. 1 ne experiment is not new; it has been tried in other countries and by abler meu than Mr. Balfour, with the uniform result of total failure; and Mr. Balfour will fail, too. Public opinion as well as public policy is against this method of govern ment, ana mis tact alone Is a guarantee that the present system can not prevail.

Mr. Balfour, while prac tically the autocrat of Ireland, is virtually a prisoner. He is attended by detectives and constables wherever he goes, and his private and official apart ments are surrounded by military guarus. lie is not free to go about as other men do, nor is Id the enjoyment of that immunity from personal harm which a high official of the Queen of Great BriUjn aud Ireland should feel at all times within the borders of his own coun try. Lot bim enforce all the laws with entire impartiality, and bis personal safety will be assured as that of any man hi the kingdom, but if he continues hit present course, not all the powers of tha government can avert the danger to his personal safety which he will bring upon himself.

London IS A TOO. London, Oct. 22. A dense fog obscurei every thing here to-day, and it Is feared by the police that the Trafalgar and Hyd Park rioters may take advantage of it tc commit depredations. At present all quiet, and no large crowds appear to bi congregating.
