Il, a. Dun's Review.

NEW York, March 23.-Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review Of Trade says;
There is found In almost all quarters
feeling of confidence and hopefulness
as TO the future Though the present
effect of short crops is felt in the nort'
west, the prospect for the coming sea-
son is exceptionally bright, and while
in some Of the chief manufactures oper-
atiOns are checked by uncertainty re-
garding prices II may be expected that
the relations between materials and
finished products win be soon adjusted
to the new conditions.
Sales OF wool at Boston, New York
and Philadelphia this year, 50 far, show
an increase Overla year of 20 per cent
and still continue larger.
The dress goods makers have closed
the most prosperous season known and
hope for better prices presently.
In knitting goods some companies are
carrying too large stocks and mar
gins for profit are close, but a great
many orders are still received. The
expansion and diversiiication OF the
manufacture leaves for foreign supply
only the finer grades Of worsteds that
are not made here, and even Ia mems
wOOlens there Is seen some improve
ment, though the demand looks 10
styles rather than quality.
The boot and shoe business is retarded
by speculating in hides and leather, As
prices OF goods are no higher than a
year ago; but while buyers are cautious
they are numerous, and the shops are
fairly supplied with orders.
The iron trade shows no change, buy
ers believing that as soon rs the demand
for consumption increases again no
strikes nor shut-downs will restrict pro-
duction.
The general average OF all prices, is
still advancing, having risen half OF one
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 mar
kets are easier at most OF the interior
cities including Chicago and Boston.
At New York rates have changed hui
little, 2Ft0 3 per cent on CALL III there
Is some difficulty iH-obteluing CONNER
cial loans The treasury has put out S2l,-
600, 900 more money than It has taken
In during the week. besides Issuing one
million dollars more silver notes.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days, were 2I5 as compared with
273 last week.

WASHINGTON, March 23--The Sec
rotary Of the interior has concluded 10
allow the leasing Of certain Indian
lands In Oklahoma The Indian bu-
reau has received instructions TO that
effect, and has been directed TO receive
informal bids, and make the leases At
once for the period Of a year. Inc
reservations included i'm this order are
those lying in the northern part OF the
territory, near the Kansas border. The
Usage reservation contains l,4lO'uOO
acres; the Kaw, 100000; the Ponca,
l0l,0O0, and the Otoe and Missouri,
$4,000. The total Indian population
on the six reservations is about 5000,
and the surplus acreage above
what is actually needed by
the Indians for farming purposes is q
100000 acres. Under the severalty act
as amended by the last congress, each
member OF tribe is permitted TO take
eighty acres, the law therefore allowing
only heads OF families 70 receive allot-
ments, the extent being 100 acres.
Tribes In the northern part OF the ter
ritory have nearly all taken their allot-
ments under the amended law, and they
propose 10 lease the surplus, the law
permitting such Indians as have taken
and paid for lands In severalty TO do
this. The cattlemen formerly enjoyed
grazing privileges on all these reserva-
tions, having acquired them from the
respective tribes.
Some time ago they we're removed by
order OF the president but since then
most Of the Indians have taken lands in
severalty and are preparing TO adopt
the methods OF agricultural improve
ment observed by their white neigh
bors across the line in Kansas. They
have thus acquired ownership of the
lands in fee simple, and they will be
permitted 10 lease their surplus acreage.
The leasing will be made under the di-
rection OF the Indian bureau. Z he sea-
son Is now so far advanced that time is
not sufficient TO allow advertising for
bids. but public announcement will be
made at the several Indian agencies
and informal bids will be received for
The consideration OF the departments.
The lands for grazing purposes will be
let TO the highest bidders, the cattle
men who were recently expelled being
allowed fair reduction for their fences
and other Improvements in case they
bid. The leases will be only for
one season. but II the experiment
proves successful bids will be advertised
next year and new leases made for
longer terms. THE money TO be paid
for the grazing privileges will not 90
direct TO the Indians as heretofore. II
must be paid 10 the Indian agent and
transmitted 10 the department for ac-
counting, and il will then be paid TO
the Indians quarterly as other moneys
are now paid. In this way the In
.dians will be secured in their leases
rpd there will be no opportunity for
~ i0lation OF contracts or other trouble
otenthe matter. II the plan now pro
postd proves a success, IL is 10 be APP
piled TO all the reservations in which
lands are owned In fee simple by the
Indians and held In severalty.

THE IMBODEN VERDICT
TO PIECES.
IMBODEN Is STILL IN PRISON
Mcdaniel, the Texarkana Train Robber

Stnfa
State

Fort WORTH, Tex, Feb. 2S.-Judge
Steadman today granted the arrest of judg.
ment in the L. B Iuboden forgery case on
the ground that the Indictment charges no
Offense against the law. The indictment
charges that defendant altered a note made
by Imboden, F. B. Daggett, e. &. Daggett
and E. ]. Daggett, payable to ourselves.
1t omits the averment that the note was en-
doris by the makers. The court holds
that note payable to the order of the
makers and not endorsed by the makers is
a nullNy, and therefore not the
subject of forgery. The court holds that it
is essential that the indictment shall de
scribe an ir strument complete on Its face.
b reason of the failure OF the indictment in
this case to allege that the note was in
dorsed, it is held that the defendants not
charged with forging an instrument which
was complete on its face. The motion Ill
arrest Of judgment is sustained, and the in
diCtmenL in this case is quaShed. The
result OF this decision OF Judge Steadman
was that the verdict against lmboden giving
him three years in the penltentary IS SET
aside and the case now stands as if no III
dictment had been found against him. As
soon as the decision was announced the
county attorney filed an affidavit
against Imboden on which he
will be held ill the grand jury
can act upon this case and return new
bill against him. He is still held on the
other cases and his boudsmen in two have
given him up. He is still in Jail and will
remain there until he periects new bonds,

& Co. say:
Futures-Mr. Neill estimates that
the present crop is 100000 bales as
published today. He shows on that
basis the worlds supplies on the 1st OF
October next carried over to next
season will show a surplus of ZOO, OOO
the largest for twenty years, against
10000 last year, 100000 the year be-
fore and 100000 the year previous.
Port receipts today will be $4,000
against II 600 last year.
We expressed the opinion a short
time since that the spots would be
much depressed. We now repeat that
opinion. The effect on futures should
naturally be towards lower range OF
values. Our market closed two points
lower than yesterday, but since closing,
is weakest inside figures. Liverpool

Leading Features of the Famous Act Now
Gone to the President.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The direct tax bill
has finally passed the senate and now goes
to the president for signature after having
figured in many sessions of congress and
given rise to the most protracted deadlock
in the legislative history OF the country.
The provisions of the bill in substance are
as follows:
That the Secretary of the Treasury shall
C edit each state and territory and the Dts
lrict of Columbia with sum equal to all
the collections, set off or otherwise made
under the terms of the direct
ak act of 1861. That all
moneys still due the United States under
requirement of that act are RENTED. A
sufficient sum of money to reimburse the
ates and territories for collection under
the direct tax Is appropria ed, to be paid
when the legislature shall have accepted
the sums n full satisfaction of all claims
against the United States on aCcoun, of the
levy. Money appropriated to meet in
dividual claims is To be held in trust by
state authorities, six years being allowed
for the redemption of these claims. Pay
ment is also to be made to owners of land
in ST. Helena and St. Luke parishes in
South Carolina, that were sold under The
operations of the direct tax act.
