SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT.

"The signs of continued improvement
are more distinct than in the previous
week, and are found elsewhere rather
than in the speculative markets. There
is more buying for consumption, with
more numerous demands for immediate
replacement of stocks, which does not yet
stimulate an advance in prices because
consumption as yet by no means suffices
to employ all the productive
capacity, but affords the safest
basis for production. There is some
further increase IN the working force en-
plOyed in wooden manufacture and shoe
factories, though not this week in the
cotton mills and the gain in iron work is
small, although the strike of the Con
nellsville coke workers may not inter
rupt the manufacture for some weeks, as
the supplies on hand are said to be
large. Prices in that industry show
little change, though at the west
bar iron is irregular because the wages of
the puddlers in the valley have been re
duced, and southern pig is quoted lower
because of reduced freight rates Some
good contracts for rails are noticed at
Chicago, and orders for finished products
disclose a shortness of stocks in all sec
tions.

strength in print cloths and kindred fab

A Partially Successful Attempt to Repeat
vaillant's Work of Destruction.
Rome, March S.--A bout six this eve
ming terrific explosion, resembling the
detonation of large cannon, startled
every body in the vicinity of the Cham
ber of Deputies. Persons were hurled to
the ground by the force of the explosion.
Others ran in all directions in their en-
deavors to escape. When the excitement
had somewhat subsided, it was dis
covered that bomb had been exploded
in front of the chamber in which the
sittings Of the deputies were held. Two
persons were dangerously wounded and
several less seriously injured. The bomb
must have been charged with material
of a very high explosive force, as every
window for some distance around the
scene of the explosion was shattered.
Railings were twisted and heavy stones
moved from their places. Many
evidences of the tremendous power of the
contents. was apparent. Many of those
injured were cut by fragments of broken
glass and others were hurt, some badly,
by being thown violently to the ground
or against the buildings, stone work,
ETC. The police are on the alert to catch
the m1screant who threw the bomb and
his accomplices, if he had any.
