New salvation ARMY Quarters.

New York, March 6.-Several work
men were busy today making what re-
pairs were necessary In the offices of the
top floor of the Bible house, which are
to be occupied s,the national headquar-
ters of the new Salvation Army, which
Ballington Booth is going to organize
The rooms have not been furnished, and
the Booths will hardly take possession
until next week.
All during the day crowd of saliva
tionists and members of the auxiliarles
called at the Bible house inquiring for
the Booths. Neither they nor Major
Glenn put in an appearance at the build
ing during the day. Those who called ex-
pecting to see them had to go away dis
appointed and without learning any in
formation as to how soon the Booths
would establish HEADQUARTERS.

THE OPPOSITION IN LEE.



Advice Of Clarke Trick.
Opelika, March 6.-(Special)-Th pop
ulist executive COMMITTEES of Lee county
meets here tomorrow and also the county
committee of the republicans.
1t is known to be the purpose OF the
opposition to the democracy in this coun-
ty to hands off and see fair fight be-
tween Clarke and Johnston for the Lee
county delegation. This does no. suit
the Clarke faction, however, for Mr.
Clarke's leaders evidently want the pop
ulists to jump on Captain Johnston.
Rather than have Captain Johnston
bring single convert into the democratic
party by inducing them to vote in the
primaries and thereby place themselves
in honor to vote the ticket, 1t has leaked
out that they prefer to importune the
populists not to leave the party. A lead
er high in the counsels of the Clarke fac
tion, so high as to possibly wear an in
sigma of his rank, and who would be rec
ognzed by the jewel of his office, has ex-
pressed in well prepared resolutions how
fittingly the populists of Lee could be
made to serve the purpose of his faction.
cerebellum has eliminated, .to-wit:
Resolved by the populists Of Lee coun-
ty, That we will not be led into the dem
ocratic party by voting for Captain
Johnston in the democratic primaries and
by such vote make ourselves In honor
bound to support the nominees of the or
ganized democracy in the August cleo
ton.
The above resolution is a striking in
stance of the transcendant political gen
ius dominating the Clarke pSiftical and
literary bureau of Lee county, The pop
ulists of Lee will no doubt gulp down any
dose prepared for them In such style.

Bradstreet's Report.

New York. March 6.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
General trade began the week relatively
less favorably, but with the change from
high winds and extreme cold weather to
brighter prospects for business. Unfa-
vorable conditions previously reported
are continued, but they are less numer-
Gus than those pointing to Improvement.
Conspicuous among them is continued de-
preston in the woolen and cotton goods
manufacturing industries. Iron and steel
have had an unsatisfactory demand and
prices of billets and southern pig are
shaded. There are afso reductions in
quotations for cotton, print, cloths, pc
troleum, hides and for wheat, Indian
corn and oats Mercantile collections are
generally unsatisfactory. The distribu-
ton of general merchandise is fairly sat
isfactory at the south and least favora-
bly, regarded east and north. Interior
merchants south have met nearby needs
and Baltimore travellers report trade
throughout south Atlantic coast and gulf
states satisfactory. Relatively the most
favorable southern trade reports come
from Jacksonville, but Galveston says
general business Is quiet and collections
are unsatisfactory. Business failures
throughout the country number 270 this
week, against 271 last week. thus main
tanning the Improvement shown for near

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
Neither the Cuban Resolutions
Nor B. & O. Failure
AFFECTED THE MARKET
The Prices of Railroad Stocks Are Almost at
StandstiII.
DEMAND FOR IRON IS NOT VERY BRISK

17.e Per Cent in Comparison With the
Same Week in lSe3-Business I'm

:MAND FOR IRON IS NOT VERY BRISK

New York, March 6-R. G. Dun & Co.
in their weekly review tomorrow will
say:
Failures for the week have been 2S5 in
the United States, against 234 last year,
and 6S in Canada, against 5S last year.
The Cuban resolutions and the appoint
ment of receivers for the Balti-
more and Ohio were events of
sufficient Importance to affect al
most any genuine market, especially for
securities. 1t therefore argues either re-
markable strength of conditions or an
entire want of life and genuineness in
the market that the prices of the sixty
most attractive railroad stocks, which
averaged $4974 per share February 1,
have never fallen since that date lower
than $49.36 nor risen above $5OS5 per
share. The market is largely under the
control of operators who cannot AFFORD
70 see 1t decline much, but 1t Is also true
that the vote on the Cuban question and
the receivership had both been discount
ed. The strength of the market is largely
due to more satisfactory reports of rail-
way earnings. The volume of business
reflected by clearing house exchanges Is
not materially improving. the weeks re-
turns showing gain of only 65 per cenu
over last year and decrease of 17.6 per
cent in comparison with the same week
of 1893. 1t must yet be broadly stated
that business appears to improve only in
prospect and in the confidence on which
future transactions may be based, but
not as yet in actual sales accomplished.
The industries all report slightly low
er range of prices except for iron and
steel products, and it is noteworthy that
while combinations in structural beams
and wire and cut nails are advancing In
prices the quotation for Bessemer pig
has fallen to $1240 at Pittsburg, and
southern No. 2 Is offered at $7.75 delivera-
BILE at Birmingham, and billets have sold
at ST. Pittsburg. The bar combination,
which raised the prices not long ago, finds
an increasing part of the business alb
sorbed by outside works The demand
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.
The reports of the boot and shoe in
terests are not on the whole more en-
couraging this week, shipments from the
east being still nearly 20 per cent less
than last year, but there was no further
decline in prices.
There is no improvement in the demand
for wooden goods and number of es-
Establishments have closed. Some further
reductions have been made in prices of
cotton goods, although 1t does not appear
that the concessions have thus far been
successful in calling out new business.
Reports are frequent that many of the
largest mills are about to stop produc-
tion for time in order to give the market
opportunity to clear itself.
