New YoRx, May ar G. Dunn & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business has been much retarded through
most of the western states by unusual and
continued rains. The movement of products
is thus delayed, but it is believed to be only
temporary. Seeding in many quarters Ii in
terrupted, but on the whole is fairly advanced
checked.
A somewhat better tone appears at the
south, and business a. the east is fairly active
for the season, although in some lines dull
and depressed.
Money is everywhere abundant, in part be-
this is in measure due to the unusual con-
servatism of trade, buyers making many
small purchases instead Of large purchases,
and waiting more carefully for actual distri-
button. This is peculiarly the case in the dry
goods and boot and shoe trade. Orders at
any one time have been in most branches
moderate, but they have been repeated again
ana again, until the volume Of business IS
large. Shipments of boots and shoes from
the east were & per cent. below last year fog
the earlier months of 1892, but have been
rapidly catching up and are now but per

Flannels are improving, and an unprece-
denied distribution of dress goods helps man

improving, western stocks being small, and
trade in prints fair for the season.
The iron trade shows larger transactions,
but no better prices. There is larger bust
ness in plates, though at demoralized prices.

Pork products are shade lower, and coffee

Chicago in April were the largest ever known
in that city, exceeding last years by 10 per

There has been large speculation in tin,
but copper seems scarce for immediate de-

A Lively Session of the Commons.
LONDON, May 6.-Richard Haldane's bill to
confer upon local authorities power to COM
pei land owners to sell their land, in order
that i may be divided into small holdings,
vas discussed in the commons.
Herbert Asquith advanced liberaD con-
tended that the owner of the land on which
human residences are built is not entitled to
the improved value of the land due to the in
crease of population. In that respect, As
quith held that land differed from consols or
commercial enterprise. Before he had OPP
portunity, however, to explain wherein the
difference lies, he was interrupted by Cum
ningham E. Graham (socialist), who repre-
sents the northwest division of Lanarkshire,
ling shareholders in the company" Amid
cries of order, Graham shouted: 81 have a
right to explain that this is a swindling
speech"
The house was in great confusion and the
speaker said: "The conduct of the member
is such that l am compelled to name Ora
ham,"
Graham retorted: "All right. lam named
for standing up for socialism"
This caused renewed confusion, and Home
Secretary Matthews moved that Graham be
suspended.
To this Graham said: ooh, suspend. I
don't care
Matthews motion was adopted without a
dissenting vote. The suspension is for one
week.
When the result was announced Graham
said: ''Mr. Speaker, beg to apologize for
any apparent discourtesy to you, but l con-
slder that l have been suspended for standing
up for socialism. I would be glad to argue
the question before hundred thousand peo-
pie in Hyde park"
The discussion of Haldane's bill was then
resumed, and when the measure was put to
vote the house rejected it by vote of LAG
to 223.

Sound Doctrine,

The Nicaragua canal convention, held
in New Orleans last week, came at an
inauspicious time. The object of that
convention was very plain. 1t was to
influence public sentiment in favor OF
the federal governments giving aid to
the company to the extent of guarantee
ingits bonds for $10O,0O0000. The Panama
Canal Company also tried to get the
assistance of the French government.
At the time the New Orleans convention
as held. the facts about the astound-
ing corruption in connection with canal
legislation in France we're leaking out.
Here is list Of the Sums paid to news
papers to influence public sentiment:
Petit JOnrnal, 800 600 francs ($50,0O0;
Telpgraphe, 100000 francs, Matjn, $4,000
francs; GaalOis, $4,000 francs; Radical,
100000 francs; Z L'E'genemsnt, 50, 900 francs;
Journal Des DeDats, 10000 francs. Tre-
mendous sums were paid to deputies and
other officials. 1t may not be very cour-
teOus to call attention to these facts in
connection with the Nicaragua canal
project, with an honored public man like
Warner Miller at it's head; but the dan
ger is the same here as it was there,
when the federal government is asked to
lend financial aid to a great enterprise
that is operated for personal gain. II the
government puts either money or inan-
cial credit behind the Nicaragua canal,
it ought to take entire control of the
construction and management. If the
enterprise is too big to be swung by pri-
vate capital, let the government have
entire charge, pay the bills and reap the
profits. We want no repetition of the
Panama canal corruption here.-New

The Monetary Conference.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-I am, and have
been for some time, fully convinced that
there is more in that international none
tary conference over the money question
than great many are prepared to be-
lieve. 1t is in the nature of an interna-
tional contract. This contract is intended
to bind the United States to what is
done, so that when the people get in
power and are ready for reform legisla.
tion, the wheels will be blocked by an
international treaty. or course the mon
etary conference is controlled by the
money power. Now if they can forestall
legislation contemplated by the great in
dustrial reform movement, and precip-
itste war in case any legislation is un-
dertsken that may be detrimental to
them, they will have made our progress
materially more difficult. 1 strongly
suspect that this is simply what Harri-
son, Sherman, Rothschild & Co. have
