New YORK, April 21.-The Telegram
this afternoon printed the statement
that State Treasurer Stephens, of Mis-
souri,, called on ex-President Cleveland
with letters from Governor Francis and
other leading Missouri Democrats, in
order to secure from Cleveland more
thorough exposition of his views on the
silver question than given in his letter
recently widely circulated. Replying to
questions, Cleveland said, according to
Stephens, that the question should
be thoroughly discussed before '92, that
there may be no danger of divided
party. Stephens reminded him that the
western Democrats wanted to know if
Cleveland was elected in 1872 and a free
coinage bill passed, would he veto it, no
matter if he knew the majority of the
party favored it.
Cleveland replied eff l should be
elected president in 1872, the bill would
not reach me until '94, as congress
wouldn't meet until December 1913. So
that is bridge we would better not
cross until we come to it. What
would be bad for the country today
might be necessary in '94. AS the volume
OF business increases, it is necessary to
increase the currency. When the law
was passed providing for the coinage of
81 900, 900 monthly, 1 feared the result,
for | thought it would prove an injury
to the business interests of the country,
for time at least. However, the law
proved a benefit for the country. In
my opinion the country was ready for a
change. When the present law, pro-
viding for $4,000 per month was
passed, thought the measure too radi-
cal, and that it might have the effect of
driving the gold out of the country; but
in this / was mistaken, and both
those opposed to, as well as those in
favor of free coinage, believe the pres
ent law wise one, in so far that the
country has benefited by it. With the
rapid strides the country is making, it
is impossible to say what financial
measure we may be ready for in '94.
''In forming my views upon the SUBJ
ject, did not alone consider the inter-
ests of any one section of the country.
have been unable to see how free coin
age could fail of being an injury to
every section of the country, believing
it would drive gold out of circulation.
AS we are in great measure dependent
upon European markets for our
products, we are obliged to take
them into consideration. When 1 have
suggested monetary conference OF rep
resentatives of other governments with
our own, which could agree upon new
standard OF values, my suggestions have
been scoffed at by the Europeans. l am
delighted that the people are now en-
gagged in such thoughtful consideration
OF the subject, and that by '92 they will
have decided whether or not we are
ready to handle all the silver OF the
world"
Stephens gave the above account of
his visit to reporter this afternoon. A
representative of the Associated Press
called at Cleveland's office to ascertain
if the interview was accurate. Mr..
Cleveland said he had not talked with
anyone on the silver question for publi-
cation. He had not read the article,
and could not therefore say whether the
statements credited to him were an
accurate expression OF his views or not.

SANTA BARBARA's UNIQUE PROGRAMME.
SANTA BARBARA, April 21.--The prep
arations are now practically completed
for the reception OF President Harrison
and party on Friday. They will be met
at the station by Spanish citizens on
horseback, dressed in old Spanish cos
tunes, and escorted to the old mission,
after which the procession will pass
through the chief residence streets of
the city to State street, near the Arling-
ton hotel, where there will be "battle
OF flowers" participated in by 1900
school children. In the evening
there will be a public recep-
tion at the Arlington, and a
ball at which there will
be old-fashioned Spanish dances
by ladies and gentlemen in costume.
After this banquet will be given the

AN UNPLEASANT SURPRISE.
VIENNA, April 21.-The speech deliv-
cred by President Harrison on Saturday,
last, at Galveston, Texas, caused an
unpleasant surprise in Austria,
which has extensive commercial
relations with Central and South
America. the Neue Freie Presse,
commenting on the speech says: ''Pres-
ident Harrison must be either laboring
under great delusion in imagining
that the United States is able to wage a
commercial war against Europe, or be
playing for reelection"
Quoting statistics to show that the
bulk of trade of the South and Central
American states is concerned with Eu-
rope, the paper asks: "Where will
they find other purchasers for their
goods, since it is clear Europe will re-
fuse to buy their products if they pur-
chase exclusively from America"
HARRIsoN's SPILLED MILK.
LONDON, April 21.--The Times says
President Harrison's programme re-
minds it of the milkmaid and the over
turned pail. While reckoning on poten-
tial riches if his calculations are sound,
the senate's committee of inquiry on the
effect of the Mckinley law is unneces-
sary; but lavish projects are useful
election gear to disguise from the tax
payers the effect of the Mckinley law.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.
The Tone of the Market for Raw
Material Is Rather Stronger.
no LARGE TRANSACTIONS IN PIG.
A Decided Improvement in the Condition
of Southern Business.
REPORTS FROM THE LEADING CESTERS

The situation in iron and steel lines is
practically the same as it was week ago.
Tone of raw iron markets is strong. Fur
nacemen are not disposed to let go their
products at any concessions on prices.
While there have been no large transactions
in pig iron the past week, markets are
strong. Manufacturers of finished products
are pursuing the hand-to-mouth policy in
the hope that a settlement of coke and
freight troubles will reduce prices of raw
materials. The demand for muck bar has
declined the past week and prices are
shade lower, as our quotations will
disclose. Ba. iron is also shade
lower than it was week ago
The nail trade gives signs of weakness. and
prices are lower than they have been at any
time in the history of the trade Steel nails
have sold at the factories of late as low as 81 IS
per keG and have been jobbed by our hardware
merchants At 81 75 At these figures it would
De difficult to discern where any proht comes

been formed and important patents have been

IN HARDWARE LINES.
Trade Not as Good as at This Time Last
Year

Trade Not as Good as at This Time Last
Year.
According to precedent the demand for agri-
cultural implements should be fully on this
month. But trade so far has been slow and ia
not what it was 1T this time last year The
Wretched condition of country roads has no
doubt had something to do with the present
slack condition of trade. Money, too, is more
precious than it was this time last year. There
has not been an entire recovery from the
str1ngency OF money markets last fall and
buyers are inclined to put off the evil dav Of
parting with their cash as long as possible
FrlceS are still very close all along the lines of
general hardware. The profits to manufact-
urers were lever closer, and it is difficult To see
where there is any profit in many lines Nails
have sold at the factories of late as low as
81 DO per keg, which means 81 10 from the
Jobber here. At this price manufacturers are
working Tor glory and not for Doodle Wire
nails are shade frmer than they have been Of
late, and card rates of jobbers are 81 25 There
IS a general feeling that bottom prices have
been reached in lines of general hardware
SAID representative of one of our leading
nrmS: Our experience in the past has been
that when prices have been down to hard pan
as long as they have been this time an upward
movement usually comes Prices can 20 no
lower. and in my opinion there was never q
better time for the retailer to buy than now
Ihose who wait will have to pay more for their
goods" Within the past week or two a barbed-
wire syndicate has been formed by which the
price of galvanized wire lras been advanced an
cents per 100 pounds. The price hereafter will
be 81 % per cwt. The outlook for a LARGE trade
IN m hardware the coming year is good though
the start is slow.
