A Review OF the week.

Wv YoRK, April 30.-The stock mar
l,et was inactive during the hrst part Of
the week. Sat has been depressed and
fsver;sh in the last three days. Prices
are generally lower, which is also the
case with speculative bonds. Invest
ment bonds are steady and governments
inn. Foreign exchange continues
high and gold is still going out. Money
on call is moderately easy at from IL to
81 per cent, and commercial paper is
very scarce, though the supply of loan
ahls funds is not remarkable, Iron
markets are dull, and the demand is
smaller owing TO the labor troubles.
Steel rails are firm and water and gas
pine makers are doing well, but these
are exceptions among the metal in
dustries.
Petroleum is lower and heavy on new
well production.
Wool IS dull and or cents lower as
compared with a month ago.
The advance in price for second sugar
last week lessened the demand, and the
advance has been partly lost.
Fluctuations in the rate OF exchange
have made coffee prices irregular.
Tea IS depressed by heavy stocks.
Wheat is quiet and lower on favor
able crop reports and decreased demand
from abroad. In spring wheat the SOW
ing is earlier than usual. and the area
IS reported as in excess of 1885.
Louisville reports high grade leaf to-
bacco firm and advancing; medium
slightly better and Tugs lower than for
twenty years, owing to low quality and
liberal supplies.
Cotton planting Is fifteen days late,
and the acreage is smaller in the Allan
tic States and Alabama, and larger in
Louisiana and Texas. There will prob
ably be a net decrease as compared with
1880.

BANCROFT BURNED OUT.
A $3.50, 900 Fire in San Francisco
Yesterday.


SAN Francisco. April 3o.-Shortly
before 3 this afternoon, a fire broke out
in the basement of L. & E. Emanuel's
furniture establishment, on Market
Street, between Third and Fourth
Streets. and rapidly spread TO A. L.
Bancroft & Co.'S stationery and pub
fishing establishment in the same build
ing. Inside of an hour the building,
which is five stories high, was Quilted
and the entire contents consumed. The
fire spread TO adjoining smaller build
ings, a number of which. with the con-
tents, we're also destroyed. Total losses
sre placed at $4,000. A. L. Bancroft
& Co.'S building, $4,000; insur-
ance. SIC, 900; stock and plant, 500, 900,
insurance $4,000; L. & z. Emanuel
stock, $4,000. insurance, $50, 900.
Losses on surrounding buildings and

building while endeavoring to escape
from the adjoining trunk factory. in
which he was an employee. A number
of others were reported killed. and
several seriously injured.

WAsHIssros, April 30.-Speaker Car
Isle was before the telephone commit
tee to-day. He said that about the LIST
of May. 1884, he had received, while in
Philadelphia, letter from ]. Harris
Rogers, dated April 2sth in which he
wrote (reading the letter): Il am in
structed by the Rogers Telephone and
Telegraph Company corporators, TO ad-
wise you that you have been elected di-
rector in the company. and that 500 goo
In stock VIII be put to your credit for
such occasional services as you may
ind II convenient to render. You will
doubtless remember the cordial intro
duction given to me by General
Johnson, when applied for the posi-
ton of electrician of the House, and
how you were anxious that / should OBJ
tain 1t from the architect. The new
company will start under favorable
auspices. with splendid instruments and
the stock will appreciate in value as we
build up. Requesting a prompt reply
and your acceptance, L have the honor
to be your obedient servant (signedl
J. HARRIS RoGERs Secretary
of the Board" To that letter
he had replied: Before accepting
the possession of the stock, il would be
necessary for me to be advised on two
points: First-I desire to see the
charter OF prospectus of the company;
and second, whether il will. under any
circumstances. be dependent upon
Congressional action. So long as / re-
main member of Congress. will not
be interested in any company or enter
prise concerning which Congressional
action may be asked" That said
speaker was the last he had ever heard
OF the matter; while he had no distinct
idea that the letter was written with a
q view to influencing public
officer, yet he had little shadow
of suspicion that something of that
sort might come before Congress, be
cause he was aware of thefact that at
tempts were being made TO get the gov
eminent to purchase the Telephone and
Telegraph Companies, and this seemed
to be Telephone Company.
Representative Samuel ]. Randall
testified that he had no distinct recol-
lection OF having received either a letter
or stock from DR.. Rogers 1t was pos
sible that he had received such a letter.
and answered it as was his rule, with a
courteous and respectful declination to
embark in such an enterprise as was
proposed.
Representative Abram S. Hewett
then took the stand, and said that he
had been solicited to embark in the
Pan-Electric, and had been offered a
tenth interest, but had declined.

THE CONDITION OF TRADE.
Not So Encouraging as the Previous
Week

SzE YoRk April SO.-special tele-
grams 70 Brddstreets do not report as
encouraging the general trade, as in
the preceding week. At Chicago and
Kansas City. there is relatively the
most active demand, but at q number
OF cities at which an improve
ment IN the movement of gen
erai merchandise was noted a week
ago, there is none now. Purchases at
Chicago are still characterized as for
immediate wants only. There are at least
$1,000 employees on strike, against
5000 last week, in addition to those
seeking TO enforce the adoption of the
sght hour rule. BradStreet's finds that
Gieast Dds, 900 men at industrial centres
are actively moving to secure fewer
hours OF labor daily. OF this number
5000 are on a strike, 80 900 have had
their demands granted and los. 900
threaten to strike. There are 20 900 who
have not yet accomplished their re-
guests with threats of strikes. The
more aggravated condition of the labor
situation is primarily responsible for
The noticeable depression in general
trade and industrial circles throughout
the country this week. Interior mer-
chants are buying restricted lines and
manufacturers are basing contracts on
the non-interference of employees.

a Remarkable story.


CLEVELAND. o.. April 30.-A special
from Youngstown. Ohio. relates this re-
markable story: Twenty-three years
ago. DR.. Labscheid. German physi-
clan. who had held many prominent
positions under the Austrian Govern
ment, was married TO Berth Won Bieber-
stein, whose family had for 800
wears been in possession of the
Duchy OF Friedland- The fact that
the lady had previously been
an inmate OF an insane asylum.
the doctor says. was concealed
from him, but after sir years of
married life she once more became in
sane and was placed in a retreat in
Sliesea- DR.. Labscheid left German y,
and alter travelling in various countries

town. He had contributed constantly
n the support Of his wife. and until to-
day supposed that she was still in the
asylum. This forenoon. therefore. be

from the lady at his Office. she having
arrived at Youngstown early IN the
morning. DR.. Labscheid says that she
Is still insane and he will take
steps to have her return 10 Germany,
Mrs. Labscheld, however, denies her
statements. She admits that
she was insane for a short time. after
the birth OF her child. but says that she
is mentally sound now. She says she

British Matters.

LONDON. April 30.-Gladstone denies
the story that he has decided to join
the Roman Catholic Church. and that
he had requested the fact TO be kept
secret for six months for political rea-
sons.
1t is stated that John Morley, Chief
Secretary of Ireland. in a speech to be
delivered at Glasgow, will announce
that government has decided to aban-
don that feature of the home rule bill
which excludes Irish represent atiyes
from Westminster.
David Davies, member of Parliament.
Liberal, will resign his seat because he
objects TO Mr.. Gladstone's home rule
Measure:
At conference between chbishop
Croke and the Priests of his parish.
memorial was unanimously signed ex-
pressing deep gratitude TO Gladstone
for his past services to Ireland and
landing HIM for his heroic fortitude,
utter forgetfulness OF self and fearless
devotion In initiating his present Irish
measures.
The Dublin Nation, organ of the Lord
MAYOR. denies that the frish-American
dvnamiters will continue to worry
England unless an absolute separation
of ireland and Great Britain is attained.
Gladstone's measures, SAYS the Nation,
mean peace to the Irish throughout
the world.
At Belfast to-day, two anti-home
rule meetings were held. AT one. at
wrich G, 300 persons were present, both
Liberals and Conservatives attended.
At both meetings, resolutions condemn
ing Mr.. Gladstone's scheme and Mr..
Morley's threats" were unanimously
adopted.
Although the powers in their ulti-
matum insist upon Greece's uncon-
ditional surrender, it is considered likely
that Turkey will be induced to cede
portion of the disputed territory to
Greece. 1t is understood that both
Greece and Russia are endeavoring to
reach a settlement OF the difficulty.

The Veto.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-Ths President
to-day vetoed the bill to make Omaha
a port OF entry.
In his message the President gives as
his reasons for declining to approve the
bill that Omaha was named Ia the act
of June 10, 1850, as one of the places to
which imported merchandise might be
Immediately shipped after entry at the
port Of arrival. That proviso Of that
act declared that its provisions should
not extend to any places at which they
are not necessary. Offices for the ap-
praisement of merchandise and the col
lection Of duties and privilege were with
held by the Treasury Department. be-
cause there were not any such officers
there, and therefore II any legislation
proposed should become operative, the
privileges would still be subject to the
proyiso attached to the law OF 1880, and
such newly-granted privileges would be
liable to immediate withdrawal by the
Secretary of the Treasury. He can
not see, therefore. he says, that
anything is gained by this legis-
lation. II circumstances should war
rant such a course. he says, the
authority which withholds such
privileges can confer the same without
the aid OF new statute. This PROPOSE
ton is sustained by an opinion of the
Attorney-General. dated February,
1885. The design of the bill, the Presi-
dent says. is to restore to the city any
privileges permitted by the law of 1850.
1t seems 10 be entirely unnecessary,
since the power OF such restoration Is
now fully vested in the Treasury De-
partment; If the object sought is 10
bestow such privileges entirely free
from the operation of the proviso, the
language OF the bill does not accomplish
the result. Government has not now at
Omaha 1.-THE necessary officers for the
appraisemento of merchandise and collec-
ton of duties. which by:such proviso are
necessary in order TO secure to any
place the advantages of immediate
transportation. In the absence of such
officers, the proposed legislation would
be nugatory and imperative.
The House committee on labor to-day
heard Representative Springer in sup
port of the labor arbitration bill. intro
duced by him last Monday, and which
is in general in accordance with the
message of the President on the subject.
Members of the committee seemed fav-
orable to q permanent arbitration com :
mission, but the matter did not 90 Ia
enough TO indicate what action would
be taken The opinion was expressed
by the committee that the principal
features of the Springer bill could be
incorporated in the bill now on the
House calendar to provide for the es-
tahlishmentof q department. OF agricul-
ture and labor.
1t is estimated that there has been
a decrease of about S11 500, 900 in the
public debt during April ~
