Russia's overtures for reduction of the
German duties in exchange for a lessened
tariff on German manufactures have been
received in friendly spirit here, but the
opposition OF Austria Is expected TO bar the
way to "A definite arrangement. Austria
tried 10 secure a reduction Of the German
man grain tariff in favor Of herself exclu-
sively. She, however, now raises the
points of the German Austrian treaty as
precluding q differentia treatment for
Russian imports into Germany.
The effects of the American convention
with Spain has begun TO excite press com
comments The Hamburg papers denounce
the convention as a permanent blocking out
of the German trade with the Antilles
They contend that the German Spanish
treaty of July, 1888, affords basis for the
foreign interference Until the pending
European treaties seem TO be secured, no
pressure upon Spain will probably be tried.
As soon as these are arranged the special
privileges which the convention accords 10
America will be contested by the combined

While a half dozen candidates are in the

threw up his pension job to run for the

An apparently inexplicible fact in con-
nection with the absconder's departure is
the fact that he is followed by his wife,
Notwithstanding the fact that she was
obliged to use crutch, which would fur
nsh a sure means of identification; this
this is explained on the ground that
ever since the trouble that has swamped
Mr.. Marsh broke over him suicide
has been constantly uppermost in the
wretched mans mind, and that Mrs. Marsh
has only accompanied her husband to save
him from the f.rther disgrace of self-de-
struction.
An ugly story is afloat to the effect that
Mr. Marsh did not leave of his own accord,
but that he continued the role of Every
body's Friend, and being ruined himself
was persuaded to run away rather than run
the risk of ieopardizing others should he
stay and tell the whole truth.

HE IS WANTED.
The Philadelphia Bank President who is
in Hiding.

PHILADELPHIA, May 23.-The defaulting
bank President, Gideon w. Marsh. has not
been located. The favOrite theory, how
ever. seems to be that Marsh has not left
the city but is lying in wait for favorable
opportunity to make his escape after the
immediate excitement has subsided. 9th
ers, however, are working on the clue that
the missing man has taken to the pines
of New Jersey, where he is in a
hiding place known only to his wife.
Another notion is that he has gone to New
York and is being sheltered by his wife's
mothers friends, aud color is given to this
story by the fact that Mrs. Marsh was a
resident of New York at the time Mr..
Marsh met her. and that Mrs. Lynch has
just returned from the place whittier she
went presumably to make arrangements
for Marshis retreat

leading features, although there was also more
animation in the general list and larger num-
Der Of stocks were traded in than usual Of late
The market was decidedly strong in the early
dealings and after opening advances of from Is
to a per cent further fractional gains were
scored over the entire list. while Chicago gas
Burlington and Rock Island were specially
prominent in the upward movement rising
1&, per cent and respectively. Cordage
and sugar also rose q each, but both retired
later. and the upward movement meeting with
stubborn resistance the entire list reacted par
tally in the latter portion of the hour. The
leading stocks maintained firm front, how
ever, and despite the realizing sales the conces-
sion from the best prices was insignificant An
active business was transacted throughout the
hour and at IL o'clock the market was still
fairly active and firm at close to the best prices
reached.
Money is easy at 2jS and per cent. The re-
action in the stock market was followed after
IL o'clock by a renewal of the buying move
ment and further activity in the leaders was
helped out by movements in C.C.C. and St.
Louis, Lackawanna Louisville and Nashville
and some others, while prices were brought to
something better than had been attained dur
ing the first hour. There were, however, two
weak spots in the list, Illinois Central dropping
away from 96l to 90 and Great Northern pre-
ferred fraction, while Canada southern, after
a fractional loss, advanced per cent. The
market continued active and maintained the
best prices, being strong at noon at the highest
figures Of the morning.
