WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
THE SITUATION STRONGER THAN
LAST WEEK.
Orders Coming In Prom Dlstribut.
ing Centers and Buyers Gener-
alIy-Prlces Advancing.
ESPECIAL TO rHE APPLAL.I


PmLADELrHnA, Pa, February "a
The industrial situation in the New
England and Middle States is stronger
than six days ago. AS many as 10000
men that were idle week ago are
either employed or are instructed to
report on Monday. Wages generally
have been advanced from s 10 10 per
cent. Meanwhile orders have been
crowding in from travelling agents
from distributing centers, and from
buyers generally, and the indications
point to more active March than a
year ago. All kinds of building ma
terial will be contracted for next
month ab about last years prices.
No further advance " likely to take
place in iron, steel OF lumber, q fact
which is, regarded with much favor by
builders, projectors, investors and
Others. II was apprehended short
time ago that between the advanced
cost oi material and the higher price
of labor, together with movement
for an eight or nine hour day, would
work to the disadvantage of the build
ing interests and to the spirit of en-
terprise generally. But thus far no
unfavorable results have been realized,
aud the spirit of confidence exists in
all directions. Manufacturers genor-
ally are well employed. The Anthra-
cite Coal Combination anticipates a
settlement in few days. The BIZ
luminous interests anticipate Jan in
crease OF 10 per cent. in consumption,
with an Improvement in price.
The manufacturers Of tools and of
special machinery during the past
week have booked a great many or
ders, and the manufacturers of electric
lighting machinery report quite an
enlargement in the demand for cleo
trio light appliances. The manufact-
urers OF small machinery for railroad
shops, machine-shops and small manu-
featuring establishments are meeting
with a good deal OF Business.
The demand for finished iron and
steel has improved during the past
week, and store-kcepers and mill own
ers are filling increased orders at 81 65
to 81 So for merchant, bar, 81 40 to
81 80 for nails; u 30 for plate iron;
80 to 80 cents for sheet. Large orders
for steel rails have been placed at
1874 80, and buyers in need OF supplies
before July are hurrying in orders, as
the production agreed upon is nearly
absorbed. A further increase will be
agreed upon within thirty days. In
quiries from the interior for old rails
have fallen off Large supplies are
expected from abroad.
The holders of wool have less conf
dence in the permanency Of high
prices, Large supplies will shortly be
due from abroad, and manufacturers
are finding that they can secure need
ed supplies ut short notice.
The demand for labor in the West
and South promises N draw away
good many thousand workingmen
from the overcrowdcd Eastern cen
tiers, and this will make such !. scar
city of labor N may cause higher
prices.
Four Eastern locomotive shops have
book orders for fifty engines within a
wee q, end there are negotiations in
process for the placing Of good many
more.

The telegraph tells us that all
workmen OF foreign birth have
been discharged from employment in
the German Government dock-yards.
This action has been taken because OF
the disclosures in the case of Capt.
Sarruw, recently convicted of having
sold plans and information of German
Notifications to Maj. Grizot OF the
French General staff. Capt Sarruw
is Dane, and no man of German
birth has yet been arrested for this
offense. 1t is thought no person of
foreign birth will be permitted to re-
main in the service of the German
War Department.

The Interstate Convention met at
jackson yesterday, the delegates pres
ent being thoroughly representative
of their several States. Commissioner
NcWhirter welcomed them to the
State in very appropriate address,
after winch officers were elected and
the work promptly inaugurated by a
debate on grasses, too much OF which,
let US whisper to our farmer friends,
cannot be raised. Our special CORE
spondent makes an interesting report
OF the proceedings, which will be
found in another column of this page.

We devote large proportion OF our
space on the second page to-day to ex-
tracts from The second volume of
Blaine's TWenty Years in Congress.
These extracts will not enhance the
reputation OF the ex-Secretary of
State, who treats of many Democrats
in very bad spirit. What he has to
say of Horatio Seymour and the vote
he received as the Democratic candi-
date in 1858 is as full of venom as if
part of a campaign document dur
ing the days OF reconstruction. But
worse than that is his quotation from
Zach Chandler about President John
son. As an historical work, this
T'Centy Years IN Congress is as unrelia-
bic as the author himself, and as COM
pact with spleen and venom. 1t is a
handbook Of Blaine's vindictiveness
and hate.

Detected By a scarr-Pin.

New YORK, February 24.-Widow
Bridget Clarity was found murdered
last New Years eve in her house in
Newark, and the only trace left by the
murderer was a cheap scarf-pin made
in the form of letter r. This pin
was found sticking in the clothing of
the dead woman. To-day, after a per-
sistent and discouraging hunt, de-
tective arrested Carl Koch and Otto
Zeigert, two young German laborers of
Newark, for the murder. The scarf
pin is the property Of Otto Reinhardt
OF this city, from whom the prisoners
stole il.

"BoB" TAYLOR is evidently the com
ing candidate for Governor from East
Tennessee. The privilege OF naming
the man seems to have been conceded
by the politicians to that section of
the State, and there it is generally adj
,mitted that, owing to variety of rea-
sons, the principal being that there is
great contention among the thirty or
more candidates for the nomination,
Dob" will be the lucky man, as the
only one on whom the friends of the
other contestants can unite. He will
come down from the mountains with
his fiddle high strung and his green
baize bag fall OF stories and anecdotes,
but West Tenr ons @ will send Bob"
Looney, with old ability, to meet
him and wrest the prize from the con-
vention. We are betting on our
Bob" as the winning man.

OURspecial correspondent in attend
ance upon the Interstate Convention
at Jackson, Tenn, thinks that Gen.
Alex. Campbell has the inside track
as a candidate for Congress in, the
Eighth District. He is opposed by
Col. Taylor, the present member, and
by Col. Enloe, both men of ability and
character. That he will have a close
race, thus antagonized, goes without
saying, and il he is defeated he will
have the satisfaction of being so by one
of two of the best men in the State.
Gen. Campbell is man of the most
winning qualities, a very magnetic
speaker, an excellent lawyer, and
quite worthy OF any honor the people
can confer upon him. He was be-
loved in the army, and enjoys the es-
TEEN and respect of all his neighbors.

Horns ON His Heed and Acts Like
n Goat.

DETROIT, Mon, February 2l.-Na-
thaniel Jingle, colored, came here
from Georgia, and two years ago mar
ried. He was known as the Goat, {"
because on his head, in front of the
ears, were two short protuberances
which bore a resemblance TO horns.
Mrs. Jingle gave birth to baby, and
it also has horns. They are now over
two inches long, and with them the
child defends itself in a quarrel much
as a goat would. A physician says
the horns are Of bone, but could be
removed without danger.

among other things, that several years
ago he sowed bluegrass seed from a
car window for 200 miles on the Mo-

growing beautifully. He estimated
the early fruit and vegetable trade Of
the South at $50, 100000 annually. It

An official notification from the
Danish ministry of marine announces
that Denmark is poorer by tn e loss of
an island and ofan interesting natural
object. South of the island Suderoe,
one of the Farce group, mighty Gill
rose sheer out of the sea to height oil
from eighty to 100 feet Looked at
sidewise from distance at sea, it re-
sembled a great ship in full sail; but
seen from Suderoe, it presented the ap.
pearance of amonk, whence it received
from the Faroese the name of Munken.
The monk was not merely a pic
turesque object, it was also a valuable
land mark for sailors, warning them
against a dangerous whirlpool which
swept around its base. But it is now
only thing of the past. Last year a
part of the cliff fell down, and this
year all that remained was broken OF

covered even at low water. Fortu-
nately it was uninhabited, so no lives
were lost. The occurrence Is note
worthy as proving that the continuous

winter by the action Of driving ice

An interesting question has been lised
in connection with the action OF certain
committees Of the Senate asking to be
furnished with reasons for the sus pension
of Federal officers. The removal and
appointment OF civil officers are the acts
OF the President, and 1t is held by men,
bers of the Cabinet that tae President
cannot be required TO submit to the Sen
ate reasons for his acton, nj. er the Con-
'stitution. The several committees Of the
Senate have prepared a printed circular
letter, each committee having q form of
their own adoption, which has been sent
to heads Of departments requesting that
reasons be furnished for suspending OFF,
GERS, and these printed circulars are filled
up and signed by the committee clerks
This is an unusual proceeding, and 1t is
held to be an assumption OF authority
not justified by law or precedent When
/ the Senate desires information from the
President touching matters involving his
acts, the custom has born to request 1t
tby formal resolution" If not incom-
pstible with the public interest,"" but the
committees have forgotten to request
such information from the President, and
to ask a Cabinet officer To inform q COM
lmittee what reasons moved the President
to perform any executive act is regarded
as an unwarrauted interference with the
Iexecutive prerogative which should be
resisted. A number of Republican Sena
Itors believe a mistake has been committed
in this matter and it Is probable the cir
Icular alluded to will be withdrawn.
There are numerous instances upon
record where the Presidents, from Wash

clined to furnish reasons for their acts II
