The Leading Ministerial Organ In Spain

MADRID, March 24.-La Epoca, the

says to-day in the course of fiery ed

An exhaustive examination of the accounts
published by the leading American newspapers
of the debates in congress show that. setting
aside hypocracy, the real issue, as some sem
ators point out, is whether the United States
take possession of Cuba by force or not
If they can, why let them declare
against us; let them set their fleets in
motion and send them to Cuba They need
not doubt that we will receive them as it be-
hooves us to do If they cannot declare war,
then as the most honorable members OF con-
RresS have said, let these debates cease, and
let Spain govern herself with the liberty she is
entitled to- and which nobody can limit. Any

The General Tendescy Of Industries and
Prices Not Encouraging.

NEW YORK, March 2I.-R G. Dun S
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Movement toward better things is still the
exception There is better Business in shops
and small industries and there has been
squeezing Of short sellers in cotton But the
general tendency of industries and prices is not
encouraging and those who were most hopeful
month ago still waiting, not so hopefully,
FOR. the. expected recovery. Causes OF continued
depression are not wanting. Bad weather has
cut of much business, especially in country
districts. Some failures of consequence have
caused especial caution. The root of the BUSH
ness is that in many departments men bought
more and produced more. when prices were
mounting and everybody was rushing to buy
last year. than they have yet been able to sell.
That the buying was OF a nature to anticipate
actual consumption many months they were
fully warned, but they had more hope than OBJ
servation and went on pfling up goods. Some
are engaged to-day in the same hopeful antlc1-
patton of demand which has not yet appeared.
The wooden mills with prices already re-
Iuced below last years, lowest average. and
wool ). g per cent. higher than it was then, are
not getting business enought keep works In
operation Clothiers have taken many foreign
goods; they have failed to market all they pro-
duced last falland they have to carry host Of
retailers whose stocks are not yet sold
sharp decide in the price of cotton goods
Is the comment of mills ON rising cotton.
Goods now average lower than since May, 1895,
having declinedi4.2 per cent. for the week,
print cloths to 2H cents which is but sixteenth,
above the lowest price on record. The a:cu-
mutation of goods in the face of slack and
rapidly diminishing demand has brought the
closing of one of the largest mills and others
are considering.
The iron industry shows but'a slight average
decline. combinations still insist upon the
highest prices of last year, and the demand is
naturally curtailed
The market in wheat has been weak though
rather stagnant, but the weight of facts is felt,
as western receipts for three weeks of March
have been $3.50 48I bushels against 1924, 929 last
year. The movement of corn continues very
large; and prices have declined one cent for
cash.
Failures for the week have been POI in the
United States against 275 lastyear and 40 in
Canada against IS last year.
