Rome. March lf.-Out of the terrible
storm OF popular anger which swept
over Italy when the news of the defeat
of the army under Gen. faratieri
reached here little remains but feel
ing of great resent ment against the
Italian commander. All rioting has
ceased. The reservists,who fed from
the country sooner than go to Africa
at the call of the government for the

not believed any steps viii be taken to
punish them.
Negotiations with King Menelek have

Office has counterman,led the instruc-
tions sent to various points for the
hurrying forward of reenforcements

According TO the Italia Militare,
King Menelek offers in the peace ne
gotiations as much as Italy could have
hoped for before the battle of Adowa.
The new cabinet is settling down
to work, and the financial situation is
brighter than anticipated. Under these
circumstances Italy breathes freer
than for some time past, and there is a
feeling of gratitude for those who have

New York. March 14.-R. q. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade,
say:
waiting is still the rule. Large hope,
but little actual business explain the
strength of some markets and the weak
ness of others. Thus far there is decided
increase in the demand for boots and shoes,
secured by considerable concessions In

concessions are made in vain, or are not

know that one of the most important IN

The insurance companies show larger
business and larger income than ever be-
fcre, and also a remarkable soundness OF
mortgage loans and other investments.
"As prices about February q were. or
the whole. the lowest ever known In this
country, considerable space is given this
week to comparison of quotations In the
most important branches of manufacture,
which show the extent of reaction since the
rise last fall 1t is especially noteworthy
that prices of materials have varied quite
differently from prices of manufactured
products. Thus cotton is 27.9 per cent
higher than a year ago. but cotton goods
average only 1917 per cent. Wool is but
SO per cent. higher than a year ago. but
per cent lower. Pig iron is only IL per cent.
higher than a year ago. while finished
products of non and steel average IS per
cent. higher. Boots and shoes are prac-
tically not higher than a year ago, while
leather has risen Ills per cent, and hides
at the moment are only 2.2 per cent higher.
These comparisons are important because
they disclose something of the grave dis
location of prices which inadequate con-
sumption and combinations nave pro-

Failures for the week have been 800 in
the United States against 266 last year. and
60 in Canada against 81 last year"
Bradstreet's says:
-"The only conspicuously favorable fea
ture of the general business situation Is
the report of February gross railway earn

12G companies last month were larger. with
a single exception. than in any preceding
month for more than three years. the
February total for 1896 being s34. 4S4. 000-a

per cent. These results are due in part &c
favorable weather conditions, large grain
traffic and the inclusion OF one more bust

THE origin of the expression wind
