THE DEMOCRATIC BOOM.
R. G. Dunn & Co.'S weekly review o
trade says:

R. G. Dunn & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says:
The Cuban resolutions and the ap-
pointment of receivers for the Balti-
more and Ohio were events of sufficient
Importance to affect almost any gem
uine market, especially for securities.
1t, therefore. argued other remarkable
strength of conditions. or an entire
want of life and genuineness in the
market, that the prices of the 60 most
active railroad stocks, which averaged
$49.74 per share February |. have never
fallen since that date lower than $49.36,
nor risen above s50.S5 per share.
The industries all report a slightly
lower range of prices. and it is note
worthy that while the combinations
in tructual beams and wire nails and
cut nails are advancing prices. the quo
tation for Bessemer pig has fallen to
$12.40 at Pittsburg and southern No. 2
is offered at $7.75. deliverable at Birm-
fngham, and billets have sold at SIT at
Pittsburg. The bar combination which
raised prices not long ago finds an in
creasing part of the outside business
absorbed by outside works. The de-
mand for no class OF iron products is
at this time brisk. but large structural
business is expected in the spring and
there is still much hopefulness about
railroad orders. as earnings continue
to improve.
Prices Of wool nave declined accord
ing to the quotations printed by Coates
Bros. Of Philadelphia, Pa, an average
Of "a per cent within the month Of
February, presumably because of the
failure Of the proposed tariff bill.
which included duties on wool. At
present the sales are the smallest re-
corded for many years, at the three
chief markets, only 3,303. 900 pounds
the past week, against 4,S5S. 800 a a
ago. and $50, 600 in 1892. The dcmes-
tic holders are still somewhat obsti-
nate because prices abroad have been
raised by the London sales and it is be-
leVeo tnat the stocks of domestic wool
held here awaiting transactions are I'M
usually large. There is no improve
ment whatever in the demand for
wooden goods and a number of estab-
lishments have closed, or reduced
working force. There is also a retard-
Ing effect from the further reductions
that have been made in prices of cotton
goods, although it does not appear that
the concessions have thus far been sue
cessful in calling out new business. Re-
ports are frequent that many of the
largest mills are about to stop produc-
ton for a time. in order to give the
market opportunity to clear itself.
Failures for the week have been 2SE

THE WAR CORRESPONDENT.
The Scribe Had Two Chances to Sa,
Well, General" to Wolsely.

War correspondents" exclaimed
Lord Wolseley. Some of them are
desperately brave, while others are
anything but heroes. The majority, l
think. do their duty we'll, ever when it
leads them into tight places. By the
way, talking of tight places and war
correspondents, | remember an incl
dent that may interest you. II was at
the beginning of the Ashantee cam
paign, just after our landing, a square
built little man came up to me and
said, speaking very slowly, and with
an u~nmistakable American accent:
General, allow me to introduce
myself; l am the correspondent of the
New York Herald i
TOO busy to attend to him, l cut
him short with What can l do for you,
sir?"
He replied, imperturbably, with the
