perous-Foreign Influences Again
Disturb the Money Market.
New YORK. March 14.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:
Foreign influences have again disturbed
the money market little. The pros
pect for new railroad building, and con-
sequently for rail production is not
helped by the monetary situation, and
stocks have been considerably weak
ened. But there is more active specu-
lation in breadstuffs, pork products and
cotton, which have all advanced, and
tho outlook for farmers has rarely been
better at this season than it is now. OF
the great industries, nearly all are ex-
panding and employing labor fully. but
the coke strike and other causes have
produced remarkable shrinkage in the
output of iron.

coke strike will soon end in cheaper
supplies of fuel, while the railroads
west of Pittsburg have Just agreed to
reduce their charges, prompts con-
sumers to expect lower prices soon, and
though the market has better tone,
northern No. l is quoted as low as SIT,
and southern at Sl825.
The prospect for the building trades
is rather dull hereabout in other cities,
particularly at the west, it is remark
ably bright. The wool manufacture is
doing remarkably well, though the
prices of goods do not advance; the
mills engaged on dress goods and knit
goods are especially active, and the
worsted works are on full time with
fair prices. In the boot and shoe in
dustry, shops are fairly employed.
At Trade Centers.
Reports from other cities are favor
able. Boston notes more buyers of
boots and shoes. Crude rubber is firm,
but not active Wool moves steadily,
lumber is fairly active and coffee is
strong. At Philadelphia the wool trade
IS active. The hardware trade Is good.
In lewelry, paints, liquors, tobaccos and
harness and saddlery trade is rather
quiet. At Chicago the dry goods sales
considerably exceed last years, and in
clothing and boots and shoes the situa-
tion is the same. Wool receipts are
larger, wheat much larger and cured
meats show an increase, and hi es, oats
and rye are about the same, but in flour,
corn, barley, lard and butter decrease
appears, and in dressed beef decrease
of half. Pittsburg notes no change in
iron or rails, but some improvement in
window glass. At Cincinnati whisky
advances, with good sales, and sales OF
tobacco are heavy. West of Chicago
heavy SHOWS and bad weather have had
much influence, impeding the lumber
trade.
Reports from the entire south are a
shade brighter, because cotton has re-
covered slightly in price.

the entire army of the government, with
the exception OF the Santiago garrison,

Trying to Find Fresh Scandal for
Effect on America.
LONDON, March 14.-The Mccarthy
ties are making every effort to defeat
the object Of the visit of Mr.. Parnell's
depatatiOn to America. For about two
weeks past private detective has been
engaged in following Mr.. Parnell in
Ireland and England with the view of
getting up additional scandal about Mr..
Parnell and Mrs O'Shea to be tele-
graphed to America about the same
time as the arrival OF euvoys.
1t is said that the detective has
gathered evidence showing that Mr..
PaTnell has kept up his relations with
Mrs. OShea the same rs before the
divorce suit. Mr. Parnell's friends
neither deny nor admit the statement,
but aver that Mr.. Plrnell intends to
marry Mrs. O'Shea as soon as the de-
cree of divorce is made absolute They
also claim that Mrs. OShea and her
daughters being without protector,
Mr.. Parnell is justified in looking after
them.
1t appears that Parnell mysteriously
departed from London on Wednesday
and travelled to Brighton, where he was
the guest of Mrs. O'Shea at Walsing-
ham terrace. Last night he reappeared

MARrINsBuR9s APPEAL.
A Vain Attempt to Retain the Car
ShOps,


BALTIMORE, March li.-A delegation
Of citizens from Martinsburg, w. Va,
headed by the mayor, DR.. J. II. Nc
Sherry, came to Baltimore to endeavor
to prevent the removal of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad workshops from that
town, and the transfer of the terminus
of the first division and the beginning
of the second division to Brunswick,
Frederick county, Md.
The delegation first called at the
rooms of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association, where they had
an interview with the committee on
transportation. They requested the
association to assist them in their strug.
gle to hold on to the workshops. Their
city, they said, was entitled to some
assistance from this city. Her mer-
chants bought their goods here, and
the most intimate relations had existed
between the two cities for 100 years.
The delegation then called on Presi-
dent Mayer. J. w. Bishop read state
ment from the people of Martinsburg,
which set forth that there were 400
families in that city dependent upon
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad COM
pany. In the repair shops alone 600
men and boys were employed.
Mr.. Mayer said the company did pro-
pose to make the change referred to,
not from any desire to injure Martins
burg, but simply rs matter of business
and economy. The shops at Piedmont,
Connellsville, Keyser and Martinsburg
were to be concentrated Mt Cumberland,
and because it was thought that the
work could be done better and more
economically at one place than at four.
The change of the terminus of the first
division from Martiusburg to Bruins
wick was made because it was desirable
to have it ut n point east of all the
branches of the Baltimore aud Ohio
railroad. He was sorry, he said, IL Mar
tinsburg would suffer by the change,
but he hoped she would make up for her
loss by adding to her manufactures,
which he understood was contemplated.
The changes, he said, would go into
effect about May /.
The delegation goes back to Martins
burg u sad body.

He Attributes Ircland's Woes to tho
Meddlrsome Interference of En-
Eiish Politicians and the Treason
OF Irish Malcontents. and Bespeaks
a Welcome for His Delegates.
LONDON. March i4.-The following
manifesto was issued by Mr.. Parnell
last evening:
IT, the Irish people OF America:
Fellow countrymGn: In 1881 and subsequent
years you assisted me powerfully by your in-
nuence upon American public opinion and
with your generous financial support, tc cre-
ate the great movement OF the Land League.
Without your aid 50 freely given and so con-
stantly maintained, Ireland could not for one
moment have made head against her op-
pressors, still less could she have attained the
singular position of power and th9 promise
Of success which she has occupied during the
last FIVE years.
At the Instant when victory seemed near
aud certain. the hasty and meddlesoEie inter
ferences OF English politicians In tho COM
plex organization of our party, and q move
inent, aided by sudden panic, among some
Young law recruits, eagerly seconded by u
few malcontents Office seekers and envious
persons who crept into our ranks, temporarily
destroyed the unity of our forces and sapped
the Independence of many Irish representa-
tives.
1t now becomes my task to restore this
unity and reconstruct our movement, Topping
OIL all unsound materials. taking effectual
precautions against the admission in the
future into our army of any weak, treacher-
Gus, self seeking elements.
Fortune has unveiled this danger and given
space for this reconstruction before The gem
erai election, AMI tbs disclosure has brought
about n realization of the ipsuffieency of Mr..
Glndstone's proposed solution of the situation
10 secure the legitimate liberty, happiness,
prosperity OF your brothers and sisters in
ireland. This discll lsurs was timely and all
important.
The Delegates to America.
The delegates who, at my request, are now
crossing the ocean to your shores, are we'll
qualified with experience, ability and patriot
ism. TO fully explain and defend my position,
which all that Is sound, courageous aud re-
liable at houo have assumed with mo at this
crisis. commend them TO your hospitality,
and am coaliIont that you will extend to
them the most favorable reception and hear
fng.
They are each and all we'll tried soldiers
who have constantly distinguished thnm-
selves in our war against coercion and British
misrule, who. despite ntinidltlon and inbn-
ence of the most INSCRIPTIONS and far reach
Ing character, have hravely defended me
during these dark and trying moments.
With II confidence even greater than in 1887
appeal to you once more to assist me in
qucilinR this mutiny and dsloyalty to Ire
land, TO help me in securing Il really inde-
pendent parliamentary party SO that
may make the move. even though II be our
very last effort TO win freedom and prosperity
for our nation ny constitutional means.
