RrSLNESS ACTIVLTIES.

The wonderful activity displayed in many
important branches of business continues to
iustify the most confident anticipations. Large
transactions and large profits are the rule
and there is no evidence as yet that the rush
of speculation and the rapid advance of
prices have seriously retarded the legiti-
mate exchange of products. The exports Of
wheat were indeed temporarily checked by the
advance In price few weeks ago, but prices
were soon so reduced as to admit of free
shipments, and the condition of foreign mar
kets continues to favor the views of holders.
According to Burbohm's Corn Trade List OF
January 30, "everything goes to confirm the
"opnIon that the previous estimate of re-
"nuired importation of eighteen million quar-
"ters during the season has been rather
"yithin the mark, for the deliveries Of home
"grOwn wheat in the first five months from
the LIST of September have been 2,193,521
"uuaIters less than III the corresponding
"months Of 1S7S'70, and if they continue at
"the same low rate during the remaining
"seyen months of the campaign its total
deficiency in the twelve months will be
"5.O47,591 quarters" Judging from home
deliveries and imports to the end of Jan
",
of 152, 900. 900 bushels will be required and
notes that the stock on hand must have been
seriously reduced during the month of Janu-
airy. These estimates give promise of a ready
sale for the entire surplus of this country at
very satisfactory figures to the producers.
The direction of the grain movement within
this country is undoubtedly undergoing con-
siderable change. A much larger proportion
of grain now goes to st. LOUIS than was for
mery sent thither, and one reason is found in
the largely increased receipts at and exports
from New Orleans. The following shows what
proportion of the grain received at the eight
Western lake and river ports was received at
Chicago and at st. Louis during each of the past
seven weeks, and what proportion of the grain
received at the several Atlantic ports was re-
ceived at New-York, Philadelphia. New
Orleans, Boston and Baltimore during the
same weeks:

,EsSEpS AND mr. PANAMA CANAL.


Ferdin md de Lesseps arrived in New York
yesterday morning. very frank and clear
statement of his views concerning the Panama
Canal project and its relations to the interests
of the United States was given by him to
TRIBUNE representative, and will be FOUND IN
connection with the account OF the reception
on another page. The distinguished engineer
asserts that be represents IN this matter no
one but De Lesseps that the whole project IL
in his hands that he goes into 1t as private
enterprise that there can be no conflict with
America because he is but the executor OF the
American idea that people Will have 700
much sense to believe that he would present
any opposition to the Monroe Doctrine. when
he regards as eminently just and that he shall
be glad to sell a majority of the shares in his
company here in the United States. He says
furthermore that the preliminary surveys have
shown that canal without locks is entirely
practicable. and that he comes to this country
to let it he known what has. been done about
the enterprise. NJ. de Lesseps shows sound
Judgment in trying to get out OF the way OF
that long-rauge gun the Monroe Doctrine.
Whether he viii succeed or not remains
10 be seen His only safe course is to get
his enterprise on an American oasis
The objection to the Panama scheme
urged in this country is not that DE
Lesseps is at its head. On the contrary, he Is
recognized as man peculiarly fitted to con-
struct an Isthmus canal. 1t is De Lesseps'
backed by French company owing no allie
glance to the United States and looking TO
the French Government for favors and pro-
lection. that we criticise He should
understand this fact clearly. and should
not make the mistake of assuming that there Is
no real opposition to his project in its present
shape or of supposing that the dinners and re-
ceptions rendered him are evidences OF sympa-
thy with that project. They mean nothing more
than that the American people are pleased to
honor the engineer of worldwide fame
who constructed the Suez Canal. American
civilities will he extended to him, not
for what he is going to do at Panama, but for
what he has already done In Africa. No
foreign power, or company backed by foreign
power, will be permitted by the United States
to construct the Panama Canal.

The decline in receipts at Baltimore within
the past two months, has been quite remark
able, but it is evident that the increase
in receipts at New-Oreans has been due in
part to diversion of traffic from this city, and
that the gain in receipts at st. Louis has been
largely due to increased shipments southwark
by river. During the past four weeks, the
receipts at New Orleans have been a larger
proportion of the aggregate receipts at all
Atlantic ports than those Of any other city
except New-York, but the movement has
been very irregular by river, and may prove
by no means lasting.

to control the general proceedings OF the
Convention without factious or ill-tempere

The Democrats in Congress are kept so
busy lodging the questions they raised at the
extra session last Summer. and fighting shy
of all other important issues, that they have
not yet found time to pass an appropriation
bill to pay the United States Marshals, who
have had no salary for eight months and have
been defraying the expenses of their Offices
out of their own pockets. No doubt the Rep
resentstives of moonsbining districts in the
South take special pleasure in annoying the
Narshals in this unmaDly way.

THE TRIBUNE's Pennsylvania canvass Is
drawing to a close. and Mr.. Blame MAINTAINS
the long lead he had when the first responses
were published Thus far 1903 replies have
been received to our circular. of which 1,2l3
are for Blaine aud go for Grant. lnasmuch
as few of our contemporaries have seen tit
to misrepresent the nature OF the canvass IN
order to break the force of It's revelation of n
strong anti-third-term sentiment IN the hey-
stone State. we desire to say again that the
circulars were not sent to selected names. ana
that we had no knowledge of the opinions OF
rhe persons to whom they were addressed.
In fact, the reasonable suppOsitOn was that, as
they were all town or county committeeman,
the most of them would follow the lead OF
Senator Cameron and express preference Tor
Grant. Our sole purpose in the canvass was
to get a genuine index to the sentiments on
the Presidential question of active, influential
Republicans in all parts of Pennsylvania.
The Irish Home Rulers appear resolved to
have this session of the British Parliament all
to themselves Sir Stafford NOrthcOte introduced
new rules to prevent obstruction on
Monday, but Mr.. Sullivan improved the
occasion by moving that Earl Cadogan
and Major Jocelyn be called to the bar for
breach of privilege, the one having Interiered
in an election contest, the other having de-
clared that the Home Rulers were 81 desp-
" cable band of Irish rebels" The House, APP
parently Mortified at this disregard for peer
of the realm and a plainspoken veteran, re-
iected Mr. Sulivan's motion, Liberals and
Tories voting together against it, The Chan
cellor will now probably press his project, but
unless be would deprive minorities of all par
liamentary rights he can hardly prevent fill
clustering" Meantime our latest advIces show
that while the poor are suffering in Ireland for
want of food, two Irish bishops have just sent
over $4,000 to Rome as Peters pence. This
seems like case of feeding the shepherd
and leaving the sheep to starve.

A curious bit of news comes from Africa.
The little black Republic of Liberia, that
rather sickly offspring of the misdirected phi
lanthropy OF the American Colonization Soci-
ETY., which little while ago was fearful of
being swallowed up by the British colony of
Sierra Leone, has been seized with the annex
alton fever itself and has actually appropri-
ated an entire native kingdom bearing the Gu
phonious name Of Medina. The new territory
adjoins the interior frontier of the Republic,
and was acquired by friendly negotiation.

Colorado.

Colorado is rapidly advancing in
wealth and Importance. During the
year just passed the cattle shipments
from that State aggregated 1O7, 1924 head,
the increase being $2,5OO,OOO in value.
Of wool, 1000, 600 pounds were pro-
duced; of wheat, 1925, 900 bushels, and
oats and corn in proportion. Mining
operations made wonderful progress,
the total production amounting to &c.,
110,832 in value. In 1873 the total
value was 1880, 743, showing in one
year an increase of very nearly 100 per
cent. The total amount of ores raised
from the Leadville mines, treated by
smelters during the year, was 119, 4S3
tons, from which was realized $1O,5q4,-
100, or value in pure silver and metallic
lead of $95 per ton. For each of the
365 days of the year the daily consump-
ton of ore by the smelling establish
ments was 305 tons, producing over $50
tons bullion each day.
In Denver city the business summary
shows an increase of fully one-third
over the previous year. Transactions
in real estate amounted to $2,777, 900.
More than 400 brick and stone buildings
were erected, costing about $4,000, 900,
among them being q hotel on which has
been expended $5OO.OOO. a.

Personal Sketch of Disraeli.

A correspondent, speaking of Lord
Beaconsfeld, says: ''He has grown
quite spare. His glossy ringlets have
given place to dull mass of black hair,
which bulges out from under q silk hat
over the ears and neck like that of a
typical German professor of auld lang
syne. From beneath his we'll marked
eyebrows pair of large eyes, which
SHINE brilliantly at times, but usually
repose languidly under the heavy lids
moro than half closed, take in all that
is passing around them without appear
ing to do so. Lord Beaconsfeld1s fea-
lures are familiar to all newspaper read
ers on both sides of the Atlantic, but
the peculiar yellow tinge of the COM
plexion and the shades of expression
p'ust be seen to be understood. No one
can look twice at Dizzy as many still
call him, without feeling instinctively
that he is in the presence of man with
remarkable gifts. His face is now
somewhat long, but the brow is still
massive and the front high. His lord
ship was protected from the weather,
this afternoon by sack of tweed, in
colors partly gray and black, reaching
almost to the boots. He wore the ertho-
dox white stand-up collar of antique cut,
and 9 black silk neckerchief. i
