An UnwhoIesome Feature.

NEW YoRK. March 1O.-R. G. Dun & p
weekly review of trade says:
The one unWholesome factor is that prices
of commodities are moving upward rather
rapidly, the average having risen more than
10 per cent. during the last week, and the
exports of merchandise are thus liable to be
restricted. Reports of trade from all parts
of the country show little change since last
week, though there is perhaps a little less
activity, on the whole.
Wooden dry goods sales are above last
years, with collections easy. Trade Is gen
orally good at this season, but better in ma
terials than in manufactured products. The
during the week Is the cotton market, but
wheat has risen over I cent, oats u cents
and corn nearly cents, coffee an eighth, oil
% cents, butter cents and pork products a
shade Thus far this week, wheat exports are
not half last years Flour exports not one
half and corn exports not any. 1t is not a
good sign when the speculative interests are
active and buoyant, while legitimate trade
and productive industry are hesitating or
curtailed.
The treasury has put out, silver notes in
cluded, only $4,000 more currency than it
has taken in durir the past week. but the
money markets are generally well supplied
for legitimate business needs, though at
some points stringent or more active. The
reports as to collections are a little less salts
factory, aud yet it 10 the prevailing impress
sion that business in all parts of the country
has a solid footing and will prosper when
good crops come. The exports of produce
from New York were larger last week, but
for the past month show a decrease of about
8 per cent. and the imports show a marked
increase.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the past seven days num-
Der 265, as compared with a total of $50 last
week For the corresponding week last year
the figures were go.

The Country's Business.

NEW York. March 16.-R. 6. Dun d Col
weekly review of trade says:
Foreign influences have again disturbed
the money market little and increased the
prevalent conservative feeling. Directly, the
effect here should be slight, but it is impos-
sIbIe to say how the already strained condi-
ton at London and the possible serious pres
sure would be felt in sales of securities here.
The prospect for new railroad building and
consequently for rail production is not helped
by the monetary situation, and stocks have
been considerable weakened. There is more
active speculation in breadstuffs, pork, pro-
ducts and cotton, which have all advanced,
and the outlook for farmers has rarely been
better at this season than it is now.
OF the great industries, nearly all are ex-
pandlng and employing labor fully. The
prospects for the building trades is rather
dull here, but at other cities, particularly at
the west, it is remarkably high.
Oats and rye show about the same receipts,
but IN flour, corn, barley, lard ana butter
decrease appears, and in dressed beef de-
crease of = per cent. West of Chicago heavy
SHOWS and bad weather have had much intiu-
ence, impeding the lumber trade. At Omaha
trade is quiet, at Kansas City average and
Denver slightly improved, in spite of the
heavy SHOWS. Reports from the entire south
are a shade better, because cotton has recov-
cred slightly in price. At the south little is
said of collections, but throughout the west
complaints of slow collections grow more
frequent, and the money markets, though
nowhere positively strong, are generally firm
with Il more active demand, the volume of
business continues larger than year ago,
but the range of prices. farm products in
cluded, is over 10 per cent. higher and has
advanced ~ per cent. during the past week.
Wheat rose 559 cents, but reacted about l
cent. Corn has advanced AZ cents and oats
219 cents for the week, or rather larger scales
than usual, and cotton has risen an eighth.
But all the speculative markets have to
reckon with the possibility of scarce money
before long, as the drain from the city to the
interior continues.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days num-
Der 273 as compared with total of 265 last
week. For the corresponding week last year
the figures were 252.

A New Court for topeka.

ToPEKA. March 1O.-The bill creating the
circuit court of Shawnee county, which has
passed both houses of the legislature, was
promptly signed by the executive.
Governor Humphrey then as promptly ap-
pointed Hon. J. b. johnson, of Topeka,
judge of the court. more fitting selection
could not have been made, and 1t will meet
with universal approval on the part of the
bar and the people. The choice Is also a
happy one because the new Judge Is warm
personal friend of Hon. John Guthrie, the
Judge of the district court
The circuit court of Shawnee county IL
created to relieve the district court, which IS
ver-croWded with cases and which IS years
behind 1t was absolutely necessary that re-
lief of some kind should be made. The
court has the same jurisdiction and territory
covered by the district court of ShaWnee

cases, hear no appeals from justices courts

Chicago Carpenters.

CHICAGO, March 1O.-The officers of the
local unions of the carpenters have called
upon all the members of the organization to
meet at Battery I'D. )" for the purpose of de-
Gliding whether or not general strike shall
be inaugurated.
There was similar meeting on April 4th,
a year ago, but the consequences of that
gathering are as nothing compared to what the
outcome of this meeting may be. The stu
alton has changed IN eleven months. year
ago Chicago was simply Chicago, now il is
the worlds fair city, and all eyes are upon
il. With the jOurneymen also conditions
have changed in the past year. When the
great strike of 80 was ordered there were
less than 1850 union carpenters in good
standing. Now their are over 1000, while at
least 1900 more that do not belong to the
organization will follow its LEAD.
The employers have absolutely refused to
agree to tine journeymen's terms, and only
miracle can prevent a strike. Should the
men decide to go out. every bit of building
operations in the city will be tied up. as the
building trades assembly has agreed to sup
port the carpenters in their demands. This
means that no union men of whatever trade
will work on a union job with non union
men
If strike is ordered ii will take place

British Bluff.

MONTREAL, March IAN officer of the
British navy, who is in the city on business,
states that there is more significance to be
attached to the approaching visit Of Lord
Wolseley to Canada than is generally be-
heVed. He will remain at Victoria until the
United States have given their ultimatum
with regard to the Behring sea question.
When asked what he thought of the outlook
and the possibility of an early settlement of
the matter of dispute between Canada and
the United States, he said: II would not be
surprised to find Great Britain and the United
States ut war before the year is out. If Great
Britain and the United States do not measure
swords before the year closes they will come
SO near it that only the greatest amount of
strategy will avert il"

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 11.-Jerry
Simpson the alliance member-elect from the
Seventh Kansas district. is already begin
ming 10 "kick" about the iabOrious duties of
his position. He says he Is overwhelmed
with letters requiring his attention, and he
thinks congressman has entirely too much
department work to do.
''If attended to ali of the business that is
being asked of me, he said, 81 would have
time for nothing else. This thing of making
claim agent out of n congressman should
be stopped, and that is one of the reforms

gress. A man cannot give the necessary at

time devote himself to the investigation of
every private matter that is thrust upon him,
not by hiz constituents, but by people from
all over the country"

thy presided. \ letter from Archbishop Walsh
was read, IN which the archbishop said that
four-ffths of the constituencies were ready to
follow the lead of Mccarthy. Mr.. Parnell's
policy involved the destruction of the work
of the last ten years. Letters of approval of
the course adopted by the McCarthyites were
received from Archbishop Croke and most of
the bishops IL Ireland. Mr.. Mccarthy said
that the league had allowed itself to be cap

rid of the National league. For Mr.. Parnell
he had no words but those of compassion.
In following wrong course, Mr. Parnell' s

your influence upon American public opin=

to create the movement of the Land league.
Without your aid, so freely given and SO con-
stantly maintained, Ireland could not for
one moment have made head against her
oppressors, still less could she have attained

IN the complex organization OF our party,
and movement aided by n sudden panic

seconded by few indictments, Office seekers
and envlous persons, who crept into our
ranks, tenn porarily destroyed the unity of
our forces and Slapped the independence of
many Irish representatives. 1t now becomes
my task to restore this unity and reconstruct
our movement, looping of all unsound ma

and important. The delegates who, at my
request, are now crossing the ocean to your
shores, are well qualified with experience,
ability and patriotism to fully explain and
defend my position, which all that is sound,
courageous and reliable at home have as
sumed with me at this crisis. I commend
them to your hospitality, and I am conf

favorable reception and hearing. They are
each and all well tried soldiers, who have con-
stantly distinguished themselves in our war
against coercion and British msrule, who,
despite intimidation of the most unscrupu-

trict is possibly on the eve of a race war.
The whites are in arms against any further
importation of colored people. and seem de-
termined TO cause those already in that sec
ton to evacuate. An organization of the
nature of White Caps has been waiting on
the new colonists in the Black Jack district,
and attempting by threats to cause them to
leave the country; but the negroes are SO
numerous that they have returned threat for
threat and have openly discussed burning
the town of Kingfisher. Both factions are
now on the qui vive, and it would take but
little aggression on either side to start open
bostllities.

by the kaufman Milling company, in favor

decide that the rates charged by the respond

st. Louis and other points IN Missouri and
Kansas to points in Texas, which are cents
per hundred and (some times more) greater
on flour than on wheat are not unjust, but a
differential exceeding that amount is dis
