apprehended soon from that quarter; with no

United States are I'm position to take instant
advantage OF any favorable change In tho con-
dition Of business How this change may be
brought about we are unable to explain, but 1t
may be very much nearer ut hand than is now
supposed.

Poundmaker released the captured
transfers and sent flag Of truce to Battle
ford TO learn on what terms he may surren-
der. A Winnipeg dispatch says:
1t has been feared all along there would be .
general uprising Of Indians, but the collapse Of
Poundmaker. the great Indian chief. was an
event which will doubtless end the rebellion.
The news of the rout of Riel was made known
TO Poundmaker through newspapers In the mail
bags accompanying the train which he captured.
1t had most depressing effect. and he at once
decided to sue for peace. He has just sent into
Battleford four wagons with the twenty team
sters captured by him last week. He sent
them a peace Offering to Col Otter.
A priest accompanied the train. He bore
a letter from Poundmaker asking upon
what terms he would be allowed TO surrender.

the Indians when they learned of Riers fate.
They piled their rifles in tcpee, and hoisted an
old British flag which they had captured. They
then held big council and decided upon send
ing in this letter asking for terms OF surrender.
There were 1S4 failures in the United

Brdds,reets Jotrndl, in its weekly review of
the trade outlook, says:
The movement of general merchandise
throughout the country the past week. re-
ported TO Brddstreefs, has not varied much
from that Of the preceding week. Dealers in
! staple lines at leading distributing centers dc
not look for any permanent gain or activity In
mercantile circles during the coming quarter.
| Again the word is passed that no improvement
is now looked for until next autumn. Dry
goods merchants at New York and ST. Louis
are more cheerful than elsewhere.
| All the leading wool markets are quiet. Manu-
| facturcrs secured supplies some weeks ago;
| cheap small lots are scarce, and the proximity
| of the new clip counsels delay before complet-
| ing stocks. The movement is therefore dull
| and prices are unchanged. The coming six or
| eight weeks will witness three or four weeks
stoppage of work among Eastern cotton, paper.
| and nail mills and among the nail and glass
works at the West. Some special brands of pig
iron have cut prices 81 per ton, that is, have made
actual prices asking prices. There is no other
change OF note either in iron steel Cop

The reports from the winter wheat region con-
time favorable. The Commissioner OF Agricult-
ure telegraphs TO this journal that mis- reports
indicate a shortage of ll7,Ooo,0OO bushels OF
winter wheat. The specials from Washington
Territory and Oregon point to a gain of 200, 00C
bushels as compared with last year, and there IL
now no known reason for believing that the
total spring and Pacific coast crop will fall
much, If any, behind that of 1894. In that event
| the outlook for the aggregate of wheat this yeal
is 396,0oO,OoO bushels. 1t may run below this
and it is equally possible that the total may bt
| larger. There are too many uncertainties al
| present for definite forecast The movement
in grocery staples in general shows no change
Sugar and coffee are higher.
