NEW YORK. March 23.-R. G. Dun 4 Co .'s
weekly review of trade says:
There is found in almost all quarters a
feeling of confidence and hopefulness as to
the future. Though the present effect of
short crops Is felt in the northwest, the pros
peet for the coming season is exceptionally
bright, and while in some of the chief manu-
features operations are checked by uncer-
tainty regarding prices, it may be expected
that the relations between materials and i'm
ished products will be soon adjusted 10 the
new conditions.
Sales of wool at Boston, New York and
Philadelphia this year, so far show an in
crease over last year of 20 per cent. and still
continue large.
The dress goods makers have closed the
most prosperous season known, and hope for
better prices presently. In knit goods some
complain that they are carrying too large
stocks and that margins for profit are close,
but great many orders are still received.
The expansion and divershcation of the
manufacturers leaves for foreign supply only
the finer grades of wOrsted that are not made
here, and even in mems wOolens there is
some improvement, though the demand
looks TO style rather than quality.
The boot and shoe business is retarded by
specializing in hides and leather. as prices of
goods are no higher than a year ago; but
while buyers are cautious they are numerous,
yet the shops are fairly supplied with orders.
The iron trade shows no change, buyers
believing that as soon as the demand for
consumption increases again no strikes or
shutdoWns will restrict production. The
general average of all prices is still advanc-
ing and have risen half of per cent. for the
past week.
Trade in the east is not very brisk. At
cities west of the Mississippi trade is fair for
the season.
The money markets are easier at most of
the interior cities, including Chicago and
a hrsr 100
changed but little-2555 to B per cent. on call,
but there is some difficulty in obtaining com
mercial loans. The treasury has put out
81, SOC, 900 more money than it has taken in
during the week, besides issuing s., 0O00 600
more silver notes.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days were
275 as compared with 273 last week.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Mulvane Record: The preachers OF

Norwich News: Rev. J. A. Holmes
closed his second year as pastor of the
NJ. Z. church at this place and went to
conference at Newton. During the time
he has been here the membership on the
circuit has about trebled, an addition
added to the church at this place, and
the money subscribed, to build church
near DanVille.
Wellington Monitor: Rev w S.
Payne rendered his resignation as
pastor OF the Christian church some
weeks since, and though the church
was 10th to lose their able and pop
ular pastor, it was finally prevailed
on, at Mr.. PaYne's urgent request, to
release him. He will continue to sup
ply the pulpit for some time longer, or
until his successor is called. Mr.. Payne
has, during his short pastorate, been
very successful in raising money to
cancel the Indebtedness on the church
building, and it was due TO his efforts
chiefly that the church now possesses
the comfortable parsonage erected last
summer. The best wishes of his con-
gregation and of the citizens Of Well
ington generally who know his worth
as a man and q minister, will follow
him to his new field Of lebor.

EngIand's DUTY.

HALIFAX, N. S.. March 23.-Professor Fell
don, NJ. p, for Albert county, New Bruins
wick, dean of the Halifax law school, author
of the famous extiadition act and one OF the
most prominent men in the conservative
ranks in the Canadian parliament was inter
viewed as to the future conservative policy.
"To Immediately make overtures to the
imperial government for larger trade within
the British islands is the party's duty" said
he. 81 do not think the British people appre-
ciate the significance of the recent election.
They simply know that the government Is
sustained, but do not realize the momentous
character of the issues involved. The time
has now come when England must choose
between abandoning Canada or agreeing to
an imperial tariff that viii give Canadian
products preference in English markets in
return for preference to British manufac-
turers in Canadian markets. If England
will not do this annexation is not only prob
able, but appears to be the inevitable des-
tiny of Canada. But if England will agree
to discriminate against foreign and in favor
of Canadian lumber, barley, cheese, butter,
beef and eggs in consideration of lower
Canadian duty on English manufactures,
the future struggle is an easy one"

GIBRALTAR, March cot is now believed
that the loss of life by the sinking of the
steamer Utopia was much greater than at
first estimated. Several bodies have been
washed up on the Spanish shore. Everything
possible was done by the British war ship to
rescue the unfortunate immigrants, so much
so that four of the seamen were washed over
board and drowned The scene was heart
rending. The 700 immigrants on the sink
ing ship filed the air with wild and horrible
cries for help, and shrieks of terror as they
| saw death awaiting them in the angry waters.
Overhead the clouds rushed furiously, driven
by the southwest gale. Almost 200 we're res
cued-
At this hour. $50 p. NJ, the number of the
saved is 33l, and the loss of life is placed at
| about 400. Thirty-tive bodies have been re-
covered
At 4:3O it was announced that the official
report of the number of persons on board
the Utopia show that when she left Naples
the steamship had $50 souls on board, in
Guiding passengers and crew. OF this num-
Der only BIZ have been saved. Thus $50 of
her passengers and crew are either drowned
or missing.
An officer of the Utopia says: 1--WE were
slowing our engines, preparing to anchor
when. before we realized our danger. we
found ourselves broa9slde on the bows of the
AnsOn. There was a shout from both YES
sels, which was instantly followed by the
Anson's ram tearing into the Utopia. We
were about a quarter of a mile from the
shore at the time. The officers in and about
the catastrophe say that they will never for
get the scene that followed the collision
The Italians were thrown into state of
complete and cowardly panic. They yelled
frantically and fought madly to reach the
fOrecastle. A few of the married men
dragged their wives with them. but the bulk

Gus appeals of the women and children. The

STOCK AND FARM.

Topeka Capital: E.. E. May, prom
inent horseman of Fargo, n. D., has
been in the city looking up additions
to his already large stock.
Wellington Monitor: A humber of
farmers living in the eastern part of
the county will fertilize their wheat
with salt this spring. Salt can be OBJ.
tanned for $500 per ton for fertilizing,
if the buyer will sign contract that it
will be used for that purpose only.
Independence Tribune: Larry Peace
called and reported that he had ginned
for thirty-two parties ninety-six bales
of cotton, and that it had been a profit
! able crop for all who had planted and
cultivated the crop in good shape. It
furnishes plenty of work, and cash for
the cotton as coon as ginned.

and seventy five acres of oats. He will

ships was driven across the state line
into the territory a few days prior to

cape paying taxes on them. Commits

to return this stock for assessment
whether the owners consent or not

The Tnunaerer AppIauda-

LONDON, March 2o.-The Times, in COM
menting on the New Orleans tragedy, says:
It is all well enough to reprobate resort to
violence, but in such circumstances as these,
what way is there for emancipating the com
munlty from an intolerable tyranny. The
law requires a trial by jury, which has been
reduced to farce, from the fact that every
juror knows that if a member of the Malta il
convicted his life is not worth a weeks pur-
chase Among those lynched there may have
been some who did not actually fire at Hem
not members of the detestable society. IT
il. therefore, impossible to feel any very
acute distress, because in the midst of the
violence they had rendered Indispensable
they have been somewhat more severely pun
ished than if they had been legally dealt with.
