dian Corn.
Since %hog-cholera has r]eappeared. to
plague the farmer, the theory that the
malady is caused by feeding corn too
exclusively, is again brought forward.
1t may be quite possible that a diet
composed very largely of corn will
cause such arrangement of the diees-
ton, and consequent loss of vicor, as
to make an animal more susceptible to
disease than if fed upon a mixed diet:
but if sufficient proof has been found to
show that h%og-cholera has been caused
by a diet of corn, the world has NOT vot
learned OF the fact. In the recent o,t-
breaks OF the disorder named, there ;s
that, in fact. seeming to dis
prove the assertion. Several droues

Invasion of Oklahoma Forbidden.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-In answer to
the telegram from the Secretary of War
relative to the exact condition Of affairs
in Oklahoma, General Hatch has tele-
graphed from Caldwell, Kan, that no tres
passers We're known in Indian Territory.
About 1900 settlers, he said, were camped
in Kansas near the Territory border, and
were threatening to go over the line, but as
yet had taken no steps of that kind. Troops
are stationed i'll the Territory, the General
said, and will drive out any invaders who
may attempt to settle on the lands.
AT the meeting of the Cabinet, Thursday,
the Oklahoma question was considered at
length. 1t was said that an impression
prevailed among those that contemplated
the invasion of the Territory, that rresi-
dent Arthur's proclamation relative to
trespassing upon Indian lands had be-
come imperative with the close of
his Administration. To prevent such
action of the invaders as would natu-
rally ensue upon the prevalence of such an
impression, it was thought best that Presi-
dent Cleveland should issue a proclamation
similar to that issued while Mr.. Arthur was
Chief Executive.
This proclamation was issued Yesterday.
and warns the Oklahoma invaders not to
enter upon the Indian lands, and advising
them if they did the military power of the
United States will be invoked to drive them
out again.

| cd.
new YORK, March 14.-Ielegrams
from nearly a.. the larger cities to
| sheets announce an improved feeling as to
thu outlook for general trade. AT most
| points. with the arrival of better weather,
| there has been an increased number OF
safes in dry goods and other staples, al
| though interior purchasers do not appear TO
be taking goods in excess OF immediate
wants. Dry-goods jobbers at Eastern mar
lets continue to find cause for encourage
ment, while commission agents report their
trade relatively flat. The check put OH the
movement of merchandise by the striking
employees of the Gould railways has dis
turbed trade in the region tributary to those
roads, particularly at St. Louis. IN some
lines Of business at large western
| cities renewed activity is apparent The
! commercial demand for funds at Chicago
and elsewhere West has increased, and for
the above and other reasons traders nave
been inclined to look with more favor OIL
the prospects for business during the earlier
potion Of 1885. The industrial situation in
tha East is rather worse than better. The
Pittsburgh region soft-coal miners, variously
reported from six thousand to nine thousand
in number, have stopped work, demanding
three cents instead OF IA cents per bushel.
The carpet-wcavers' strikes near Philadel-
pla and at Yonkers, N. Y, are unrelieved,
willie in addition to the former industrial
troubles in New England there is more talk
thin before of the necessity of shutting
down the cotton-mills, owing to the present
,lnproftableness of the business. One ell
'%couraging sign is a more hopeful feeling i'll
the general Eastern pig-iron trade. No adj
vance in prices is expected i'll the near flu
ture, and no boom in any event, but makers
and their agents are inclined to look more
~favorably on the situation and outlook.
The speculative markets have vibrated
sharply under reports of impending war be-
tween Great Britain and Russia. Railway
stocks, wheat, corn, petroleum, cotton and
hog products have felt the influence. In
creased speculative activity i'll breadstutfs,
hog products, oil and cotton have been more
conspicuous than enlarged transactions for
exports. Wheat has been exceptionally ac-
tive during the week.
Nearly all grocery staples are weak.
Coffee, sugar and spices are lower and dis
tribution is no heavier. Dairy products are
quiet. Butter is lower and cheese barely
steady. Wool prices are not improved and
although steady in some lines the tendency
is now downward.
There were $50 failures in the United
States reported to Brddstreets during the
week, against 222 in the preceding week,
and 1876. 233 and 40 i'll the corresponding
weeks of 1884, 1883 and 1882, respectively.
Classified by sections and compared with
