Y W90m THE MQKSiMBQREGGMA.BATUTOAY, MARCH 30, 1901. TRADE IS SATISFACTORY REPORTS ARE CKEERFUIi OUTLOOK IS GOOD. AKD Settom Prices is Wool Have Been Reacted -"Wheat Market I Strong. NETW TORK, March 29 R. G. Dun & Co.'a weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: "The condition of general business is, in most respects, satisfactory. The dry goods trade is gloomy, with further reductions la prices of staple goods this week and demand falling to increase with the shad ing of quotations, hut from every other department of business reports are cheer ful, and the outlook for a good Spring re tail turn-over is encouraging. There is little difficulty over collections in any di rection, and the mercantile demand for money from numerous quarters Is proof of the confidence felt among manufactur ers and Jobbers. The labor situation is more tranquil. "Aside from the expected advance in structural shapes, there is comparative steadiness In Iron and steel. After more or less advance every week for two months, it is gratifying to find that Bes semer pig remained seven, days without alteration. The tone is Arm, and produ cers report all recent sales for early de livery. "While exports of cruder forms are light, other countries having reduced prices until competition is felt, there is no diminution in the foreign demand for bridge material and other finished prod ucts. Prices of boots and shoes are well sustained without any quotable change. New England shops report fewer orders, but most concerns have sufficient work for some months on old contracts. Ja panned goods and chromo patent kid are In. special request lost lines of sole leather are firmly held, while receipts of glazed kid and patent leather are quickly absorbed at steady prices. Bottom In "Wool Reached. The bottom prices for wool have been reached at last, as is evinced by the grow ing unwillingness of holders to make con cessions, the greater activity of dealers, and Indication that purchases for specula tion are of considerable volume. Transac tions show a material gain at the leading markets, while shipments from Boston ex ceed those of preceding weeks. Efforts to secure een fractional advances in quota tions, however, end negotiations. Manu facturers are not inclined to accumulate stocks. The new clip moves very slowly, consignors accompanying shipments with instructions not to sell at current figures. "It was not possible to maintain the small recovery late last week in raw cot ton, and subsequent reaction established a new low record for the crop year. "Wheat did not respond to rumors of damague, but found reason for strength in Atlantic exports, including flour, in four weeks of 11,432,947 bushels, against 6,078,762 bushels In 1900. "Failures for the week numbered 206 in the United States, against 203 last year, and 29 In Canada, against 33 last year." BUSINESS IS ACTIVE. Trade In Many Ilnes Breaks All Rec ordsFuture Is Bright. NEW YORK, March 29. Bradstreefs to morrow will say: "A rather cheerful tone is apparent in general trade, and the close of the first quarter of the year finds the business world contemplating a total trade for that penoa in many cases m excess of all pre ceding periods, while the future, with some exceptions. Is viewed with apparent confidence. The advance of the Spring season Is, of course, partly responsible for the feeling above mentioned, allowing, as it" does, 'better opportunity for a wider range of operations than was possible In the Winter months. "First indications as to crop prospects and outlook are In the main favorable. Bank clearings are showing steady gains ' over unprecedentedly large totals a year ago. Railway earnings testify to an Im mense volume of merchandise passing into consumption, and, as for some time past, the active demand at advancing prices for iron and steel Is regarded as a reliable in dex of good general trade to come. Build ing Is -becoming more active, and prom ises this Spring to be the heaviest for many years past. Hence, the lumber trades and all lines of builders' hardware note continued or growing activity. The demand In the latter line and in agricul tural Implements at the West is, in fact, most notable. Turn In Wool. "As pointed out a week ago, there has been an apparent turn in the tide in the wool trade, even while some quotations are technically lower. A good volume of business has been done at the leading Eastern markets, and values, as a whole, are quite firm. Boston sales this week are estimated to amount to nearly 6,000,000 pounds, bought by two large mills, and the stocks of Montana wool have been well cleared up. "The boot and shoe trade is in good con dition. Another gain In shipments Is Indi cated this week, and the total Is 6000 cases ahead of this -week last year, while the unfavorable balance for the season has been cut down. The situation in leather Is quite satisfactory, and stocks of sole leather are limited. "There is little more doing in the cereals this week, corn being especially active, and in the hands of a bull clique advanced to above 50 cents. Wheat has been in better export demand and strengthened slightly in sympathy with the coarser grain. Iron and Steel. "Iron and steel have made steady prog ress alike In the volume of sales and In the matter of prices. The long-expected advance In structural material came this Heek, with a gain of $2 to U In beams, channels and similar products. Other fin ished products are active and strong. Pig Iron has been more active than for some time past, a feature being reported sales at Pittsburg of 40.000 tons of Bessemer pig on a basis of $17 25 delivered at Pittsburg; 2000 tons of billets are also reported sold at $24. At least 20 Mahoning, Shenango and Cleveland, district furnaces are re ported in a combination to improve the situation as to Bessemer pig. The feeling grows that iron ore prices will not be far from $4 50 per ton. "Current export figures point to smaller shipments of goods abroad, but the strength noted in foreign markets last week may postpone and even temporarily avert the decline of our export business. "Wheat. Including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 4,494,635 bushels, against 3,256,644 bushels last week; 2,962.349 bushels In the corresponding week of 1900; 3.0SS.23S bushels in 1899, and 3,550,664 bushels in 189S." From July 1 to date this season, wheat exports are 151,122,735 bushels, against 147, 182,650 bushels last season, and 184,963,740 bushels In 189S-S9. "Failures for the week numbered 189, as against 231 last week, 178 In this week a year aro, 189 in 1899, 226 In 1898 and 212 In 1S97. "Canadian failures for the week number 28, against 44 last week, 25 in this week a year ago, 33 in 1S99; 39 In 189S and 3S In 1897." MONEY IS EASY. Despite Apprehended Withdrawal of 'Specie From United States. NEW YORK, March 29. Bradstreefs financial review tomorrow will say: "Transactions have again been of large volume, and public Interest in the stock market has been on an increasing scale, though it cannot be said that stock spec ulation at present assumes a form which might be described as even -approximating a "boom." Conditions have been gener ally favorable, and sentiment favors a continuance of the bullish movement, even though prices In many cases have reached a level which causes conservative Interests to Indulge in misgivings. At times the market shows the effect of being some what over-manipulated, but Its Intervals of dullness are of brief duration, and the upward movement Is soon resumed. The announcement that about $250,003 in gold bars would be shipped to Europe this week produced on Wednesday a marked, although temporary halt In tne bullish movement, while fears of war between Japan and Russia had an effect also. The gold-shipping transaction was a special arrangement, and apparently has refer ence to the approaching German loan of 3,000.000,000 marks. v "The foreign exchange has been strong and advancing, and there Is a decided Impression that London and Paris will call upon the United States for a considerable amount of specie during the present Spring. The feeling In banking circles. however, Is optimistic as to the effects of such a movement, and money continues easy, stock market borrowers having been able to supply all their requirements at below 3 per cent on call and at from 3 to 4s per cent on time. It Is also noticed that lenders of money, as a rule, are less disposed to discriminate against industrial collaterals. The success of the great 'steel deal, and the belief that the new United States Steel stocks will not only be a leading feature of th emarket from now on, but will develop an Intrinsic value of a high order, seems to have removed from many minds the doubts which have heretofore operated against industrial stocks, even of the best class, In connection with specula tive operations of loans.

For gery. NEW YORK, March 29. David L. Short, Commissioner of Deeds for Texas, (and Morris Meyers, lawyers, the two per sons whose names appear as witmesses to the alleged bogus "Rice will" were ar rested today charged with forgery in the first degree. Both are friends of Law yer Albert T. Patrick, who is charged with having murdered the Texas million aire. Short and Meyers appeared before Justice Jerome as witnesses In the exam ination of Patrick. Assistant District At torney Osborne has declared his belief that the will was a forgery, having con sulted handwriting experts. Mr. Osborne appeared before Jerome today and swore out warrants for the arrest of Short and Meyers. Meyers was formerly employed by Patrick. On his examination he ac knowledged that Patrick had dictated the Rice will to him. By this will the Rice millions were left to Patrick. Short, when examined before Justice Jerome, swore that he had never used his seal except when transacting business for Mr. Rice. The forgery charge against the two wit nesses grows out of the fact that they signed their names to the will. The ex perts declare that the signature to the will is forged. When Patrick heard of the arrests he declared that Short and Meyers were innocent of any wrong doing. Short and Meyers will be arraigned to morrow morning. The hearing in the case of Patrick was resumed before Judge Jerome today with John R. Potts on the stand. Dr. Walker Curry, who attended Mr. Rice in his last Illness testified: "Mr. Rice's death was from the great mental strain on his nerve force, he being 5 years old, his heart be ing weak and of slow action."

HONOLULU, March 23, via Sart Fran cisco, March 29. The sessions of the House this week were enlivened by the receipt of two communications from the Governor and one from the Secretary of the territory, all In answer to resolu tions which the House had sent to the officials of 'the Administrative Depart ment. The first communication from Gov ernor: Dole related to the demand of the House that he ascertain the reason for the absence of Land Commissioner J. F. Brown in Washington. D. C, and to communicate the Information to the House. Governor Dole stated that the resolution from the House was In such shape that It could not be answered. His second communication was In regard to another demand from the House for all documents of the Administrative Depart ment from the time of annexation to the United States to the present date. Gov ernor Dole stated that in view of the relations of the executive to the superior authority of the Unlted States since an nexation, he could not "comply with the demand of the resolution in Its present sweeping form. He was perfectly will ing, he added, to supply the House with any information upon any special sub ject which might be necessary to Its leg islative work. Secretary Cooper replied to a resolution which directed him forth with to furnish the House with all data concerning the claims against the terri tory arising out of the political troubles of 1895. He said that the demand was discourteous and without precedent, and he was constrained to return It. The Legislature adjourned yesterday out of respect to the memory of ex-President Harrison. The steamship Zealandla arrived this morning, eight days from Port Lbs An geles, with 545 Porto Rlcuns aboard for service on the various sugar plantation:?. There were two deaths on the voyage. Another detachment numbering 850 peo ple is expected. R A. Macafle. of San Juan, who has been in charge of re cruiting this help for service in the Ha waiian Islands, Is not very sanguine over the future possibilities of getting more of this character of labor to come here. He says that the demand for labor ln Porto Rico is becoming greater every day, and In addition to the demand of the Hawaiian sugar Interests for help, Cuba and Ecuador are offering Induce ments to the Porto RIcans to go to those countries. The great distance of Hawaii renders these other countries far more acceptable. Fifteen of the men who ar rived here last week from Boston under agreement to work on the sugar plan tations refused to fulfill their contracts when asked by the agents of the plan tations to go to the places assigned them. The strikers said that they had intended to come here simply for the trip, as the sugar planters would pay their fare. None of the crowd has thu3 far succeeded In finding employment. The visiting Shrlners will sail for home April 2. WON BY OXFORD. Inter-TJnlverslty Track London. Sports at LONDON, March 29.

Ink and paper can produce a landscape, another man with the same pen and ink may not be able to write his own name legibly. It Is all In knowing how. It is equally true in the use of medi cines. The same remedies we have today have existed for thousands of years, but If their existence was known the knowl edge of how to use them was lacking. They became valuable to the human race only when experiment and science showed the way to use them to get re sults. The grip is an old disease with a new name; It Is really catarrhal In charac ter, and the usual symptoms are those of acute catarrh, but the old-time catarrh powders, salves and sprays do not cure it. neither does the application of anti septics through an inhaler give anything more than relief for a short time. The antiseptics are all right; they will kill the germs of catarrh and grip If they are applied rightly, but their local ap plication to the nose and throat avail lit tle becau.Be the germs are In the blood and thrqugh the whole system. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain many of these same antiseptics that are used in sprays and inhalers, but instead of applying thenuto the Inflamed membranes of the nose and throat, they are taken Into the stomach and thus reach the blood, the real seat of the disease, and drive out the infectious germs through the natural channels of the bowels and kidneys. In other words, Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets reach the cause of the mischief In stead of merely local symptoms.. The remarkable success of these tablets lets were unknown, but today have be come so popular through positive merit that druggists everywhere In -the United States, Canada and Great "Britain now sell them.
