lie went with small party from New
York in a steam yacht, armed with a
chart of the island. He claims to have
found the gold, but said it was impractic-
able to take it away, owing to the fact
that Spanish soldiers were working on the
island digging guano. A plan was formed
TO go after the treasure at a more con
venient time.
Meanwhile Captain Mcleod came to
Minneapolis to visit his sister, and told the
story Of the treasure. He was careful,
however to name the wrong island as the
spot In his story he said the treasure
was on Mona Island, whereas the real spot
was nine hundred miles away. Among
those who heard the story in Minneapolis
was Henry Stone. He made the trip to
Mona, but OF course failed to find the
treasure

FINANCE AND TRADE
esAadsnos In Future improvement Does
Not Seem 10 increase.

NV obN" " AhNH'tNaNs
NEW YoRR, March l0-R G. Dun s. Co.'s
weekly review Of trade says: Evidences OF
present improvements i'm business multi
ply, but confidence in future improvement
does not seem TO increase. There is more
business and larger production by indus
tries, for the season has arrived when
greater activity is necessary II dealers'
stocks are to be replenished, and those who
cannot make calculations beyond q few
months are the more anxious to crowd as
much trade rs they safely can into those
months
The most distinct gain is in iron and
steel manufacture The output of pig
iron March l was 110, 1906 tons, having In
creased 10 per cent. during the month,
slough It is still 37s per cent less than
year ago. II Is also stated that some
other furnaces have gone into blast since
March /, and that unsold stocks have
made practically no increase in February,
80 that the actual consumption In all
branches of the manufacture is at least
10 per cent. greater than in November
December or January. Yet prices are the
lowest ever known.
Failures are growing less important and
somewhat fewer also. For the week end
ing March / the liabilities thus far re-
ported were only s2,997 ,s32, and for four
weeks of February 614,SS6,O9l, Of which
t8. 732, slB were of manufacturing and 81
697, 1877 of trading concerns. The number
Of failures during the past week has been
24S in the United States, against 1913 for
the same week last year, and 90 in Canada,
against 80 last year. Scarcely a single one
is of importance and it is gratifying that
the consequences of the great reverse last
Nenr have been so far overcome.
