Mr.. Morrison's tariff bill was intro
duced in the House Monday. Mr..
Morrison says the bill will effect an
estimated reduction of 100000. 900 in
revenues from customs based on the
revenue of last year. The greatest
reduction on any one article is in the
case of sugar, where the new duty
will involve the loss of S., 500, 900, and
the reductions made by the bill on
other articles about S.. 100000. Added
to the free list are lumber, timber,
wood (manufactured), laths, shin
giles, salt, hemp, jute. iron, sulphur,
lead and copper ores and coal. Be-
sides these there are many articles o1
less consequence to the revenue, such
as potatoes, hay, corn, bristles, bees

earths, undressed stone for building
purposes, acorns and dandelion.

State of Trade.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.-Within
the past six days great many orders
for material, for locomotives. cars and
heavy stationary engines, down to
textile goods, hardware, iron and
steel, have been placed in manufac.
turing establishments throughout the
New England and Middle States.
Within a week there have been or.
ders placed for between sixty and
seventy locomotives, and agents are
about completing negotiations for al.
most as many more. The general in.
dustrial conditions continue favor.
able. Demand is still in excess of the
supply and prices are firm for all
kinds Of material, from crude IL
finished. Large buyers are placing
orders carefully lest some unexpected
weakness should be developed. The
steel rail makers are practically sold
up for six months. The car makers
have all they can well handle fol
three months.
The iron and steel makers are took
ing for heavy demand in March to
carry them into early summer al
prices now prevailing, viz: SIG to ST.
for forge iron at tide water. $40 to
$3.50 for nails, $3.50 to S35 for steel
rails and bar iron 81 80 to S1.75. --
The manufacturers of carpetings
are extremely busy on orders for
goods which are selling at 5 to 1Oc Der
yard above last year, and clothing
manufacturers are crowded with dn.
plicate orders for early delivery. The
hosiery manufacturers are gaining
daily in orders, but competition il
still holding prices down. Silk and
worsted goods are firm in price, but
any further upward tendency in
goods or in wood will likely be ar.
rested by impOrtations of several
million pounds of wool from the
other side. The serious strikes in
Philadelphia among the hand loom
weavers will soon he terminated.
Forty small manu- actnrers have al.
ready yielded. Ginghams and up.
holstering goods. and, in fact, all
kinds of textile goods, are In fair re-.
quest, because of the depleted stocks
in western and southern markets.
Boot and shoe manufacturers find
the demand still back ward and TO the
iobbers and retailers are unwilling TO
pay any advance on goods for spring
and summer delivery. Prices are a
little easier in hides and leather.

CHICAGO. February 13.-Accord-
lag to published statement here. the
Odd Fellows of Chicago are about to
apply to the secretary OF state for a
charter to organize stock company
to build a temple to accommodate
the Sovereign Grand Lodge and the
Grand Lodge of Illinois. and as many
of the lodges of Chicago as possible.
The Sovereign Grand Lodge. which
is the head of the order In the world,
has been located in the city Of Balti-
more since 1870. It Is contemplated
TO erect a building which shall cost
not less than $500. 600. and it is ex.
pected that the stock will be taken by
the lodges OF Illinois. Whether other
states will be permitted to subscribe
IL not decided, hut 1t is probable that
no territorial limit will be made in
this respect. A committee, composed
of grand officers. was appointed by
the Grand Lodge Of Illinois at Its ses.
sion held in November last to adopt
such measures as they might deem
best to bring about successful ter
mination Of the project.

Vacant Major-Generalships.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. TO-
The death of Maj .-Gen. Hancock and
the retirement of Maj Gen. John
Pope, which will take effect on the
9th of March, will cause two vacan.
cies in this grade OF general officers
and promotions along the line. There
is already considerable speculation in
regard to the principal vacancies.
The general impression now is that
Brig.-Gen. Howard and Brig. Gen
Terry. who are first and second re-
spectively in line of seniority. will be
made Major-Generals, but the friends
of Brig. -Gens. Crook and Miles feel
that their chances for promotion are
equally good.
The following officers are appli.
cants for promotion to the grade Of
Brigadier. General: Colonel Ruger,
Eighteenth Infantry; Otis, Twenti-
eth Infantry; Merritt. Fifth Cavalry;
Carlin, Fourth Infantry Hatch,
Ninth Cavalry; Carr, Sixth Cavalry ;
Bradley, Thirteenth Infantry Brook
Third Infantry McCook. Sixth Ia
fantry; Wilcox, Twelfth Infantry /;
Black, Twenty-third Infantry Pot
ter. Twenty-fourth Infantry. and
Ayres, Second Artillery. Most of
these applications were fled in an
ticipatiOn of the retirement Of Maj
Gen, Pope and before the death of
Gen. Hancock.
