Relatively unfavorable features are
found in quieter tone in dry goods

able trade throughout the Central West,
due to the unusual heat, low prices for

factory outlook due. to depressed quota
tons abroad. The most bullish report
comes from st. Louis, where there are
many country buyers and all lines of
staple merchandise are active, with
railroads making freer purchases, and
the manufacturing industries pressed
to keep up with requirements. Kansas
City, too, also a distributor to the West

hardware. Il r
Improvement at the South. 1
At the South fall trade is opening up
more freely than anticipated, with
marked Improvement in business and
increased confidence as to the outlook at
Jacksonville, Atlanta and Augusta.
The improvement in iron has had an
influence at Birmingham and through
out the tributary region, an evidence Of
which is found in the temporary inabil-
ity Of Birmingham wholesalers to meet
the demand for hardware and gro
ceries.
Aside from the firmness of cotton
goods prices, which is feature in trade
circles North and East, the most con-
spiouous movement is the continued &C.
tivity in iron and steel, highest quota
ton yet reached having no effect in re-
stricting demand. Present rate of pro-
duction Of pig iron exceeds 100000
tons weekly, the largest in our history,
at the rate Of more than 100000 tons
per annum. Lake cities report inn
proved demand for general merchandise,
stronger lake freights and request for
tonnage activity. AT Chicago relatively
more orders are received from the South
and Southwest than ever before. Re-
vised estimates from Texas point to only

large number of our people, as well as give
them an opportunity to witness a good

MARE ISLAND INSPECTED,
Affairs There Found to Be in
a Most Satisfactory Con-
dition.
The Hartford Goes on the Dry
dock-The Olympia May Be Or
dered to Honolulu.

VALLEJO, CAL, May 23.-CommodoIe
Matthews o. S. N, chief of the bureau of
yards and docks, after couple of days in
spection of the buildings, railroads, tele-
phones, fre-alarm system, stone drydock
and the locomotive crane in course of set
ting up, left the navy-yard this afternoon
at o'clock for Port Costa to take the train
for Port Orchard, there to inspect the dry
dock under course of construction. This
morning visit was made to the Olympia,
which was pronounced by the chief to be
remarkably fine cruiser, and one which the
United States Government should be
proud of. A test was to have been made of
the drydock crane for the benefit of the
chief, but mishap occurring to part of
the machinery the idea was abandoned.
The chief expressed himself as being highly
gratifed at the manner in which he found
his department-that of yards and docks
conducted, and only regretted that suffi-
| cient money was not available to carry on
| all the work that is necessary.
The flagship Hartford was run into the
drydock this afternoon and workmen will
| at once commence the work of removing
her lower planking. It is impossible to
tell how long she will be in dock, but, at
| all events, she will remain until the Phila-
delphia comes to the yard for docking and
repairs, and that will probably not be for a
month or six weeks.
The cruiser Olympia is ordered to be
ready for sea by the tenth of next month,
after which date it is expected she will be
ordered to Honolulu to relieve the Phila-
delphia.
So far as can be learned the monitor
Monterey is not on her way to San Fran
cisco but is still in southern waters and
likely to remain there for some time to
come.
The examination to fill the position OF
foreman or master-joiner in the construc-
ton department will begin at the navy
yard Friday. The general impression seems
to be that the race will be between John
Marcy, who has the Endorsement of ex-
Congressman English, Congressman Ma
guire and other prominent politicians, and
Robert Hood of the Union Iron Works,
| who has that frm's 8 Endorsement and was
recommended by them to seek the position
| It is of course hard to tell who out of the
| thirteen applicants will be successful, as
| the decision is made at Washington, based
partially on the report of the board of ex-
aminers, but Hood seems most likely to be
the one to carry off the prize.

due in large part to the recent alleged
brutality of the cook toward the boy Priest,
and it is rumored that other able seamen
are ready to leave at the first opportunity.
Nothing has been done in the matter of
issuing warrant for the arrest OF the
cook, John Southern, who so nearly killed
the cabin-boy, Priest, on Tuesday. The
seamen declare that the captain and the
cook are laughing oyer the latter's easy
escape from justice, and it is the general
opinion of the sailors that the boy will be
maltre eated on the return voyage, as he has
been repeatedly knocked down before and
blood drawn. At Newcastle the lad made
his escape, but, being dullwitted, he one
day walked directly up to the bark and
was recaptured.
The men also complain bitterly of poor
and insufficient rations.

Their Sorrosc Caused by the Disappear
dnce of G.. 4. Palmer.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, May 23.-There are
a number of scant pocket-books and sad
hearts here on account of the departure of
G. A. Palmer, who has been in the bicycle
business here about six months, and in
stead of ''roses" some prominent wheel
men have sad colors on their wheels.
Palmer is a carpenter who came here
about a year ago. He is a great bicycle
crank" and after being here a while
opened bicycle shop and store on Mendo-
cino street. He became associated in the
bicycle business with prominent banker,
and between the two nice business was
soon built up.
Palmer sold many wheels and repaired
more. A week ago Sunday he left for San
Francisco, taking his trunk and tools with
him. He has not been heard of since, and
men who know him think he will never
show up here again. A few days before be
left communication came here from the
Chief of Police of San Jose, asking if any
such man were here. Some think that
this was the reason for his sudden de.
parture.
One bicyclist here who gave him $1OO fo,
a tandem wheel is still looking for the
wheel, and others mourn his departure in
even larger amounts. His store and shor
is in the hands of Sheriff Allen, and many
creditors are struggling with writs of at
tachment and other legal means to REIN.
