FRANKFORT, Ky.. March 23. The pre
liminary examination of Secretary of
State Caleb Powers, charged with abet
ting the assassination of "William Goebel.
hpimn todav before Judge Moore. The
courthouse was guarded Inside and out
by militia and scores of Deputy Sheriffs
w.th "Winchester rifles to prevent possible
Interference from mountaineers, -vfho were
reported on their way to Frankfort, but
their presence was unnecessary, as the
mountaineers failed to appear, and no
disorder occurred.
The witnesses today Included Warden
Eph Llllard, Detective Armstrong, Sher
iff Bosworth, of Fayette County, who ar
rested Secretary Powers and Captain John
Davis, and Silas Jones, who is now under
bonds charged with complicity to the mur
der. The testimony tended to show that
the shots came from that section of the
executive building in which Secretary
Powers office is located, although no one
swore that the shots were from the Sec
retary's office.
The strongest evidence, perhaps, was
given by Silas Jones, who was in Gov
ernor Taylor's ante-room when the shoot
ing took placer. There were maay in there
whom he did not know. It was his im
pression that the shots were finrd frogi the
executive building, and he thought from
the corner of the building in which Sec
retary Powers' office Is located. "When the
shots were flred he walked Into the ante
room, where he saw Captain Davis and
Governor Taylor among others. There was
considerable excitement. Governor Tay
lor came to the door and wanted to know
who was shot.
"Did you see any one try to open Caleb
Powers' door?" asked Attorney-General
Polsgrove.
"Yes, I saw a man with sandy whiskers
trying to open the door. He struck It
with a hatchet," replied Mr. Jones.
Mr. Jones said there was much noise,
hut he could not say that ho heard, any
from Secretary Powers' office.
On cross-examination Jones said lw saw
Powers leave his office during the morning
for Louisville. This was previous to the
shooting.
Judge Moore convened court at 10
o'clock. The prisoners, the Republican
Secretary of State. Caleb Powers, W. H.
Culton and John Davis, were brought Into
the courtroom and took seats besidto their
counsel. The commonwealth wlniesses
were called, numbering 40. The name of
Sergeant Golden was not In the list. Ex
Governor Brown read the warrant against
Powers, which charged Pcwers with be
ing an accessory to the murder of Goe
bel. Brown asked for dismissal of the
defendant on the ground that the war
rant W3S defective in not stating that the
crime was committed in Franklin County
and did not show the offenf to have
been committed In Kentucliy. Judge
Moore overruled the objection to the form
of the warrant.
Warden Llllard, of the Frartkfort peni
tentiary, was the first witness ;sworn. He
testified that he was with Goebel when
the latter was shot. He walked ahead
of Goebel and was Just entering the
statehouse when the .shot was flred. He
locked toward the Executive Building and
saw that the second window of the cor
ner room was slightly raised. This was
the office" of the Secretary of State. He
thought the shot had been fired irom .this
room. There were several other shots,
but he said they did not come from the
same place. The first shot was evidently
from a rifle, while the others seemed to
bo from pistols.
Cross-examined by ex-Governor Brown,
Colonel Llllard said he saw nobody in the
room from which the shots seemed to
have been fired, and he did) not see any
one in the main door or on the steps of the
building at the time of the shooting.
There was a long wrangle between the
attorneys over the question whether wit
nesses who had been examined might re
main in the courtroom. The attorneys for
the defense objected to allowing witnesses
to remain, because many of them would
be witnesses in the trials of Davis and
Culton. later. In which practically the
same issues were involved. Judge Moore,
however, -ruled that witnesses who had
testified might remain.
Policeman Wlngate Thompson was the
next witness introduced. He was not in
the statehouse yard when the shooting
occurred, but arrived as the crowd was
carrying Senator Goebel out of the yard.
He. saw armed men at the entrance-to the
executive building, and recognized John
Davis and Berry Howard among them.
Detective Dee Armstrong, of Louisville,
said that after the military authorities al
lowed the detectives to enter the executive
building, several days after the shooting,
he visited the various state offices for the
purpose of securing the names of persons
who were in the building at the time of
the shooting. He said Secretary Powers
refused to tell "him who were in the office
of the Secretary of State at the time of
the shooting, and declined to say who was
In charge, but said that he (Powers) was
out of the city that day. At 12:05 the
court adjourned.
The court reconvened at 1:40 P. M. The
prosecution said it had no witnesses to
present, and some debate ensued over the
request of Attorney Sims that the com
monwealth furnish the defense the names
of witnesses yet to be heard, whether they
have been subpoenaed or not. This was
regarded ns an effort by the defense to
compel the prosecution to disclose wheth
er or not "Wharton Golden, who is said to
have made a confession, will be Intro
duced as a witness. Judge Moore finally
ruled that the commonwealth must pro
duce the list. County Attorney Polsgrove
then gave the names of Charles Finley.
Jim and Berry Howard, John Bowers. Sid
Barker, F. "Wharton Golden and Dr. W. B.
Johnson as probable witnesses.
Mr. Polsgrove said tonight that suffi
cient evidence had already been heard
to warrant arresting Powers, but that
the case would he much stronger before
he was through.
An Incident occurred during the after
noon that showed how the people are
prepared for emergencies. A soldier in
the rear courtyard dropped his revolver
on the stone flagging, and it exploded.
In an Instant every man in the crowded
courtroom was on his feet, fully a third
of them with their hands on .their rear
pockets.
Federal Troops Not "Wanted.
WASHINGTON, March 23. Colonel An
drew Cowan, a merchant of Louisville;
Samuel J. Roberts, editor of the Lexing
ton Leader, and John Marshall, Republi
can Lieutenant-Governor of the State, all
prominent Republicans and friends of.
Governor Taylor, called at the "White
House today and had a half hour's con
versation with the President on the situa
tion in Kentucky. On leaving the "White
House tonight, they stated they called on
McKlnley for the sole purpose of explain
ing to him the exact situation in the state
and what had led up to the present condi
tion of affairs. They said they had as
sured the President they did not want
Federal troops to be sent to the state, or
any Federal Interference whatever.
MISSIONS IN PUERTO RICO.
How the Various Sects Started Work
1b the Island.
NEW YORK, March 15.-Of the reli
gious bodies that are to be represented
at the Ecumenical Conference on For
eign Missions, to be held in New Tork in
April, Disciples of Christ were among the
very first to reach Puerto Rico and to
enter upon work there. Selecting San
Juan as being the center of Influence of
the Island, the Rev. J. A. Erwin and
Mrs. Erwin obtained what Is, perhaps,
the best building available In the whole
city, Ebort of actually constructing one.
Hero they opened religious services, and
a day and a Sunday school. Their work,
while it has had Its drawbacks, has been
successful from the start. Social as well
as religious work has been undertaken,
and the Christian institute, as it is called,
has already come to be one of the fea
tures of Son. Juan.
Presbyterions have work at three dif
ferent points in Puerto Rioo. The points
are San Juan, Mayaguez and Ponce.
That at Mayagues Is, perhaps,-the most
interesting, It being educational as well
as religious. So many pupils came that
the school has been self-supporting al
most from the start, a record quite un
locked for. The foremost Presbyterian
preacher of the Inland Is the Rev. Dr. J.
Milton Greene, who was sent by the syn
od of Iowa, and his maintenance guaran
teed. He Is an eloquent preacher and un
derstands tho Spanish language and
character. An elderly man, he has In
spired confidence, and his services in
San Juan are growing in Influence and
attendance.
Protestant Episcopal work on tho isl
and has had not a little Sielp from th
official classes and from army chaplains.
Such of the military post at San Juan
as ever attended church services at all,
went from the very first to the Episcopal.
Then tho Rev. Henry B. Smith, who was
chaplain of Theodore Roosevelt's Rough
Riders, went to San Juan as chaplain
and missionary, and his prominence and
influence counted for much. There has
been for some years at Ponce a Church
of England congregation. That affiliated
at once, of course. Lately Bishop Whip
ple, of Minnesota, has paid a -visit to the
Island, and while there licensed four lay
readers to hold services in as many inte
rior towns of the island, and now the
Board of Missions has appealed for $25,
000 with which to erect churches.
Congregatlonalists early took a unique
position in Puerto Rico. Their educa
tional society not the one bearing that
name, but the American Missionary As
sociation, which has educational work
among colored people ox the South and
whites among the Tennessee mountains,
opened two schools, one at San Juan, and
the other at Lares, In the mountain sec
tion of the west coasL In the latter
case they transported school benches on
the backs of mules, the alcalde and coun
cil paying the bill, so delighted were the
Lares authorities at the idea of having
a school. The Congregational aim Is nor
mal, that is, to train those who are fitted
to become teachers in the public schools.
The school at Lares has been self-supporting
from the first, so far as rent,
salaries and running expenses go. Eight
teachers were sent from the United
States., and there is a superintendent ot
Congregational schools for the island.
Baptists have preaching stations at
"both San Juan and Ponce, their general
missionary being the Rev. H. P. McCor
mlck. According to all accounts, he has
met with success. He has been ordered
home to attend the Baptist anniversaries
at Detroit In May, and to make an ex
haustive report at that place and time.
"What gave Baptist missionaries a close
insight Into affairs was their assistance
In the distribution of Government relief
that was bestowed Immediately after the
hurricane. This distribution took them
.to every part of the Island and into con
tact with many people. They utilized the
advantage and their work has been helped
In consequence.
Toung Men's Christian Association
workers went to Puerto Rico when Gen-
I eral Miles and the first troops went, and
wiej imve ever since maintained neaa
quarters in San Juan. In the general
scheme for building naval homes for
sailors at all principal naval stations,
they have designated San Juan as on
to be cared for some time in the future.
Several points about work in Puerto
Rico are to be noted. One is that the
people are eager to learn, to own Bibles,
to hear the Gospel. Another Is that they
are not confused by the multitude of
sects that ha'e taken up work among
them. They understand the situation as
well as we do at home. Still another la
that the Roman Catholic authorities are
most considerate. They assert their
rights and their sufficiency as a church,
but they do so with full recognition of
the principles of religious liberty. And.
furthermore, that there Is no competition
of the different religious bodies. There
is a complete understanding among
Presbyterians, Baptists and others as to
where, each shall work. The day of per.
feet comity Is not here yet, but it Is as
near to Puerto Rico as anywhere, per
haps nearer. It Is one of the purposes for
which the Ecumenical Conference on
Foreign Mislsons is held to further this
cause of denominational comity. At the
conference will be delegates from every
missionary society in the world, almost.
At any rate, it will be the largest gath
ering of mission workers the world ever
saw. Its aim Is to study the methods of
missions; that Is, how the Christian may
best Influence and afterward lead the
non-Christian.
PLUMER HAS FALLEN BACK

LONDON, March 23. Colonel Plumer
apparently has retired to Crocodile Pool,
and Mafeklng eeems farther off than ever
from relief. This news was contained In
a dispatch from Buluwayo, dated March
19, and published In tho second edition of
the Times. These advices add that the
base hospital has been brought back to
Gaberones. though the correspondent fur

Boer demonstration of March 15 and 1G
was to cover the removal of the siege

According to a special dispatch from
taken In arms, those who make voluntary
surrender otherwise than on the field of
battle, and those who creep back to their
farms without going through any for
mality. "The persons coming under tho first
two categories, those who have Incited a
district to rise or have plundered the
farms of loyal farmers or have com
mitted dishonorable acts of war, may be
held to deserve severe treatment, whether
surrendering or taken in arms, for their
Insurrection has led to all kinds of mis
ery and destruction. Moreover, it may
seem most desirable to distinguish 'be
tween this class and the other. But those
who wish to make their peace, whether
formally or not, may be sternly directed
to remain on their forms, working at
their ordinary business, until the Queen's
pleasure shall be made known to them.
"This policy, I understand, Is practically
adopted In Capo Colony, but in Natal,
where there is a great loyalist majority,
who feel very bitterly toward their neigh

upon the land,' more severe treatment Is
apparently desired. I cannot help thlnk

Although the existing war In the Trans

which Great Britain has been engaged
during the century. Napoleon declared
war against England in May. 1803, the pre
vious war between the two countries hav
ing only terminated by the Treaty of
Amiens in. October. 1E0L The war of 1S03
lasted until April, 1814, when Paris sur
rendered to the allies, and Napoleon was
sent as prisoner to Elba, where he ar
rived on the 4th of May. He escaped from
Elba in March, 1815, and recommenced the
war, which finally terminated with Na
poleon's defeat at the battle of Water
loo on the ISth of June, 1S15, having lasted
nearly 12 years. Napoleon was sent as
prisoner to St Helena, where he died in

The second on the list Is Spain, with 32

"'Peari tcr me dis here's a mighty hard road to travel."
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Cape Town, dated today. General French's
cavalry brigade Is fighting eastward of
Bloemfonteln. General French's activity
may well be preliminary to a forward
movement by Lord Roberts with the main
army.
A dispatch from Bloemfonteln, dated
March 22, says that President Kruger Is
reported to have issued a proclamation de
claring that Great Britain la in dire dis
tress, and that the Russians have occupied
London.
A Springfonteln telegram, published In
the second edition of the Times, says:
"The apparently submissive .attitude of.
Free Staters should be accepted with cau
tion. The large proportion of obsolete, In
ferior weapons being turned In by them to
the British Is giving the impression that
large stores of Mausers are being con
cealed."
The Outlook's special correspondent at
Cape Town says:
"Feeling Is running strong against the
leniency with which the rebels of Cape
Colony and Natal are being treated by the
British authorities."
THE DUTCH CONSPIRACY.
Brother of Preiildent Weasels Denies
Its Existence.
NEW YORK. March 23. "In behalf of.
President Steyn, I want to make It clear,"
said Philip Louter "Wessels, the Free
State's envoy to America, to a "World re-'
porter, "that there was no conspiracy be
tween the Transvaal, the Free State and
the Cape Dutch against England, as Is
Intimated In a Cape Town cable to today's
World."
Tho dispatch referred to was cabled
from Cape Town, and read:
"The real objective point of the Boer
delegation Messrs. Fischer, Wessels and
Wolmarans which recently left Delagoa
Bay, Is Russia. I have it on the best
authority that those gentlemen took with
them all the secret Incriminating docu
ments from Pretoria, thus making It dif
ficult for England to Implicate President
Steyn and the Afrikander Bund party in
Cape Colony In a conspiracy against
Great Britain."
The Mr. Wessels interviewed by ithe
World reporter a brother of Cornelius H.
Wessels, mentioned in the cable, who Is
the President of the Free State Volksraad
(Legislature) followed up his denial of the
existence of a conspiracy by saying:
"There never were any documents in
criminating President Steyn and the Afri
kander Bund ministry of Cape Colony. If
there had been any secret understanding,
tho Colonial Dutch would have prepared
for war, and would have armed In time
for a movement against Britain simul
taneously with the Transvaal and the
Free State. I was In the House or Par
liament In Cape Colony when Premier
Schrelner made his speech, urging all the
members to Influence their constituents
to remain neutral.
"President Steyn believes that Sir Al
fred Mllner was sent to South Africa as
British High Commissioner by Mr. Cham
berlain purposely to crush the Afrikand
ers, for Sir Alfred distinctly told Mr.
Molteno, a member of the Cape Parlia
ment, that England's ultimate purpose
was to annihilate the Afrikanders. This
I can prove. That policy was determined
upon when the Afrikander element out
voted the English party in Cape Colony.
"I was at Bloemfonteln during the nego
tiations between the Free State and Sir
Alfred, and I know that neither the
Transvaal nor the Free State expected
then that friendly relations between Eng
land and the Republics would be broken.
We thought Mr. Chamberlain and Sir Al
fred were bluffing the Transvaal In con
nection with the Ultlander franchise. The
Orange Free State was totally unprepared
for war, and not until after the Jameson
raid did tho Transvaal begin to think of
war In earnest.
"I met my brother Cornelius at Cape
Town four days before war was declared,
and he told me even then that he did
not expect actual hostilities. There would
have been no war had not Sir Alfred
Mllner been sent to Africa by Mr. Cham
berlain for the express purpose of bring
ing It about. In pursuance of the English
policy to wipe out the Afrikanders and
grab everything In sight."
TREATMENT OF BOER REBELS.
Winston Churchill Pleads for a Mcr
clfal System.
NEW YORK. March 23. Following is
the full text of Winston Churchill's Lady
smith dispatch on the treatment of the
Colonial rebels, as cabled to the World:
"What shall Britain do now with those
she calls rebels? has become a- very Im
portant question. These may be divided
into four classes the ringleaders, those
put in Jail, 10 desperate men will resolve
to flght to the bitter end with the Boers.
"The British should not try for their
pound of flesh, but only to bring about
a speedy and permanent peace. A procla
mation tending to encourage desertions
from the Republican armies similar to
that Issued by Lord Roberts, might bo
effective here. Many Natal Dutch farm
ers are anxiously watching the treatment
those who surrender receive, inmoved
alike by loyal passion or impractical sen
timent. "The British Government must estab
lish a uniform 'system of treating the un
fortunate, misguided people, and I plead
lor a system in which mercy already
treads close upon the heels of justice.
The British have by no means a mo
nopoly of right In this quarrel. Their
African record does not entitle them to
judge harshly, and whatever the right
and wrong, tho only goal should be a
happy, contented South Africa."

Sustained Banlc Clearings.
NEW YORK, March 23. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review will say tomorrow:
In its fair state of operation, the new
money bill has given satisfaction at the
Treasury and to banks. Applications for
new 2 per cents have exceeded 5105,000.000,
and the net Increase in bank circulation
is already over $10,000,000. As the rate at
which new circulation can be issued 13
limited, except for banks which get or
ders In advance of the passage of the bill
and the issues at first are largely for tha
Increase of notes to tho par value of bonds
deposited, little can yet be Inferred re
garding the other Increase, though appli
cations Indicate that It will be large for
interior banks. The release of millions em
ployed in preparation for action under
the new measure has caused in bank re
turns considerable changes, which are
nominal rather than real, and the money
markets are undisturbed.
The reported settlement of the Carnegle
Frick controversy Is one of greatest Im
portance to the Iron and steel Industry.
A flght between such forces would In tho
end have affected prices and values be
yond calculation, while the combination
of Interests now said to be agreed upon
may prove revolutionary in Its Influence.
Whether markets will be Immediately af
fected Is not clear. As yet the tendency
towaTd reaction operations continues,
though In the Pittsburg region Bessemer
nnd basic pig are fitrong. But Eastern
Bessemer and grey forge and Southern
pig are sold there at prices below these
governing in large transactions, and It
Is only the demand for steel-making Iron
which appears to exceed the supply. East
ern markets are weaker, with a reduction
of $1 per ton at Philadelphia in somo
grades. The finished products aro gen
erally unchanged, although sheets rise
at .Chicago with the coming combination,
while plates sink lower at Pittsburg and
to the West since April 5. 1S99, at Phil
adelphia.
The London wool sales have showed a
better strength than last month, and con
siderable American purchases show the
impression of prices asked here. Yet mar
kets here are called stronger in tone, al
though of tho sales reported the greater
part were at concessions, and manufac
turers are doing very little. Sales at the
three chief markets are only 4,SO0,9OQ
pounds, of which 3,771,500 were domestic.
The state of the goods market does not
encourage manufacturers to pay the prices
now asked. There Is not only little ground
to expect an advance In prices, but in
other than tho leading grades some con
cessions -are frequently made to secure
transactions, and the business is still dis
appointingly restricted. The manufac
turers have advanced hemlock sole 1
cent. In spite of a further fall of 1 per
cent In hides at Chicago, making the de
cline 3 per cent within four weeks.
The advance In wheat which followed
statements of the quantity in farmers'
hands has not been maintained, and the
decline the past week has been 1 cents,
corn also yielding about cent. At
lantic exports were 1,753,028 bushels for
the week and for three weeks only 4,
762.4S2, against 8,730.374 last year. Re

The "Sixth Senfe" In Animals.
The Spectator.
A correspondent of the Dally News
states that a lady residing in the hotel
at Amalfl, the day before the landslide,
refused to stay there for another night
because she was certain that the earth
was moving, and compares this sensitive
ness with the observations of the symp
toms of unrest and apprehenlon shown
by domestic animals before the serious
earthquake of 1897 In the Riviera. The
facts then observed correspond generally
with those remembered In the case of other
great disturbances of earth and air. A
number of cases aro given in which
horses, dogs, a monkey and even ducks
showed signs of panic for a day, two
days, or even longer, before the last great
earthquake. A lady at Nice remarked the
bad condition of the horse she usually
drove, and told her coachman to take
It home and bring another In a brougham
from -the livery stables for her. The hired
horse seemed as timid and weak as her
own. The driver then said that all ani
mals were "off their feed." A monkey and
other pets at the villa near "Vlllefranche,
on Shrove Tuesday, the day before the
shock which destroyed much Hfo and
property, refused to enter the house where
they were generally anxious to come.
They were all spiritless, dull and scared.
A small lapdog which usually sat on tho
arm of Its master's chair at meals re
fused to occupy Its usual seat. But per
haps the most striking evidence that the
animals were In a state of fear was that
the cows In the dairies supplying the
Coast resorts seemed terrified, and the
quantity and quality of the milk suffered.
As the farmers and peasants of the dis
trict are noted for their skill and knowl
edge in dairying, small facts of this kind
affecting the yield of milk and butter
would almost certainly be noticed and re
membered. Many persons keep Carter's Little Liver

When the stomach, liver and kidneys are tired
and without nerve energy, the body is poorly
nourished, suffers lassitude and pain. Paine's
Celery Compound is a medicine compounded to
restore nerve energy, to strengthen the stomach,
liver and kidneys. Read testimonials.
MISS CARRIE G. ATKINS, Sag Harbor, IN. Y., writes:
"For the last two years I have been in very poor health,
with weak stomach, dizzy headaches, no strength, no ap
petite, and my nerves in such a shattered state that 1 could
not bear any noise. I was under the doctor's care for a long
time, but did not get well. One bottle of Paine's Celery
Compound has strengthened my nerves very much, a"nd I
now feel like another woman. It has helped me wonderfully,
and I advise all who are weak and nervous to use it."
been the disappearance of fears regarding
the money market. Last week's bank
statement showed a large decrease In the
Item of loans. Indicating that banks which
had purchased Government bonds for the
purpose of converting them Into new 2
nw rpnts. nnfl taklnsr out circulation, were
paying off those borrowings. This process
Is likely to be a rapid one, and the sup
ply of money available for stock-market
purposes haa evidently lncreasea. Kates
for call loans were, however, only slightly
easier, and the activity of the stock mar
ket nearly tends to augmont the demand
for funds.
The feeling of the street in regard to
the final outlook is nevertheless one of
confidence, and the disposition to discount
the effect of tho currency bill upon the
bank circulation has been marked. Large
Interests have consequently felt themselves
able to give support to their specialties,
and at the same time the public, both here
and abroad, has shown a readiness to par
ticipate in the movement. The amount or
outside buying was considerably In excess
of anything which the market has wit
nessed for some months past. London has
taken a favorable view of the effects of
the currency bill and of the position of
American railroad properties. All the Eu
ropean markets are strong upon the belief
that the Boer War will soon terminate,
and that there will be no political com
plications of an International character
growing out of It
Consols have shown an advance and
American stocks were features In the rise
of values. It has been some time since
London has been such a large purchaser
in this market, its buying Atchison, the
Paclfls. Baltimore & Ohio and other Lon
don specialties, producing an Impression
upon the Exchange market which has
been decidedly weak owing to offerings
of bills against those foreign buylngs.
The sudden announcement of the purchase
of the Third-Avenue road by th'e Metro
politan, and the sensational advance of
more than 50 points in tho former's price,
not only demoralized the bear party In the
street, but created for a time more or less
fear that trouble might arise In connection
with the short Interest In the stock. No
actual difficulties, however, developed In
this connection, and the action of Third
Avenue led to covering of shorts In othe
dlrectlons. and aided materially In stimu
lating public Interest as to other parts
of tho list.

Speculation has this week developed re
markable activity and strength, ihe latter

known as the standard railroad stocks.

BRAD STREET'S REVIEW.
General Ontloolc Retains Most En
couraETinpr Pentures.
NEW YORK. March 23. Bradstreeft
tomorrow will say:
Some of the Irregularities are visible in
tho general trade and industrial situation,
the results of the working of counter cur
rents In various lines, but, taken as a
whole, tho general outlook retains the
most encouraging features noted for some
time past in these columns. Favorable re
ports as to retail distribution and as to
collections come from Southern, Western
and Northwestern markets, due to better
weather.
Continued good railroad returns, record
breaking merchandise exports from New
York, with signs of a resumption of heavy
shipments of iron to Europe, and good
wheat and fruit crop reports except from
the Central West, are also features. An
unfavorable element is the prediction of a
general strike of machinists, but It Is pos
sible more than its proper weight has been
given this threatened trouble. As offsets
to this threatened struggle, might be cited
the settlements of differences among the
lake orehandlers, a vital point in the Im
meneo business looked for the coming
Spring" and Summer. Advances in wages
of soft coal miners, of stove molders, and
of other workers allied to the Iron and
steel Industry would seem to point ,lo ru
bor conditions retaining most of the fa
vorable features which have recently
I mado them features of favorable remark.
Foreign demand seems likely to play a
most important part In tho iron and steel
industries, judging from the reports of
advancing foreign markets and of increas
ing inquiries upon manufacturers. Some
lots of pig iron are being negotiated for
at New York and at Birmingham, Ala.,
and Southern iron prices would appear to
be on a parity with those abroad. While
somo slight concessions might secure
much of tho business, nothing like a gen
eral easing of values is to bo reported.
Bessemer pig Is, in fact, firmer than ever,
at almost the top prico reached In the
present boom. Foundry Irons, chiefly of
low grade, are cheaper, but finished prod
ucts note little, if any change. Anthracite
coal reflects the advanced season in weak
er quotations, but bituminous sorts are in
demand. The famine In coal in Europe
seems to be growing more pronounced, but
somo rumored very large contracts for
Southern coal havo yet to be placed. Cop
per is in good demand, and some largo
sales are reported for export demand.
Hog products aro firmer on smaller re
ceipts and reported squeeze of shorts. Su
gar Is higher, m'alnly owing to the grow
ing strength of raw material.
Wheat and corn, among the -breadstuffs,
havo boen weaker, reflecting another ono
of those short swings in prices which havo
been a feature of the former market, but
also expected heavy shipments from Ar
gentina and good estimated crop reports
from the South and West. In tho Central
West, wheat crop advices are disappoint
ing, complaint of winter killing more than
offsetting increased acreage.
Wool remains ono of tho soft spots in
the market, and though a little mora
business has been done this week than
last, concessions are easier to obtain and
prices are quotably lower. Leather, on tho
other hand, returns a better report than
for somo time past, quotations of hem
lock are higher, and business is larger at
several markets.
The boot and shoo industry notes im
provement In demand and prices, but
hides remain rather dull.
Wheat, Including flour, shipments for
the week, aggregate 2,903.495 bushels,
against 2.727,450 bushels last week, 3,746,761
bushels In the corresponding week of 1S99.
Business failures for the week in the
United States number 192, as compared
with 190 last week.
Business failures In the Dominion ot
Canada number 23, as compared with 2S
last week.
