She Thinks of the Poor.

London, May /. - The Princess Of
Wales has written to the lord mayor of
London pointing out that In the
schemes to commemorate the diamond
jubilee of Queen Victoria in June the
poorest Of the poor, the tenants Of the
London slums, have been overlooked.
She says: might I plead that they
also should havesa share in the fetes
of that blessed day, and SO remember
to the end Of their lives that great and
good queen whose reign, by the bless
ing Of God has been prolonged for 60
years. Let us. therefore, provide these
unfortunate ones, these beggars and
outcasts, with dinner or some sub
stantial meal during the week of the
jubilee commemoration. l have great
pleasure in heading subscription list
for that purpose with G100."

THE PRESIDENTS VACATION.
Has Not Yet Decided Where to Spend
the Heated Term.


Washington, May 1.-The president
" is receiving almost daily invitations
from friends and admirers asking him
to spend his summer outing at different
resorts. Summer residences in the
mountains and at the seashore have
been rendered to him. Most Of the in
vitations come from New England. 1t
was said some time ago that he had
accepted an invitation to use Ambas-
sador Hays summer home in the Adj
rondacks, but this Is denied at the
White House.
1t is stated positively that the presi-
dent, as yet, has given no considera-
tion to the question Of where he will
spend the heated term. He will remain
at the White House until congress ad-
journs. and leave for whatever place
he may select as suitable Immediately
thereafter. Should congress remain
here until the heated term becomes
very oppressive It is, entirely probable
that Mrs. Mckinley may leave WASH
ington before the president does,

FINANCE AND TRADE.
In Spite of a Moderate Improvement,
Business is. .DIsappotntInu,


New York, May 1.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: In spite
of moderate improvement in most of
the great industries business is disap-
pointing. Expectation of the speedy
end of the war In Europe through
Turkish victory have helped to de-
press grain. Demands of Austria and
China have caused exports of $6,5OO,-
600 gold, merchandise imports are
greatly increased and final action of
congress on the revenue question
seems more remote.
The exports of gold would not have
much influence IL there were not an ex-
traordinary increase in merchandise
imports and some decrease in exports
from New York, large for the last
week and per cent for April, I'M
ports have increased about 60 per cent
over last year for the week, and for
four weeks have been 80 per cent
greater. At Boston imports of wool
have been extraordinary, and at Phil
adelphia they have amounted for the
month to SL27S,O 900. The thought that
this abnormal increase may continue
as long as action on the revenue bill
is deferred tends to affect exchange,
but the main influence at present Is
the exceptional demand for reconstuc-
tion of the Austrian monetary sys-
TEN and for Japan.
Bradstreets' review says: The more
conspicuous features of trade are less
satisfactory, including moderate re-
actions In prices of staples, a falling
OIL in the volume of transactions in
various lines, continued slow collec-
tions and less favorable conditions in
the iron, steel, cotton and some. other
industries. There is less demand for
staple varieties of iron and steel, maxi
ers reporting trouble in securing spec
ihcations for contracts on hand. The
outlook Is for the shutting down of
some furnaces in the Pittsburg dis
trict. The three months restriction
of output in cotton goods has ended.
and mills will now run on full time.
There were 2i4 business failures
throughout the United States this
week, compared with 216 last week,
254 In the week one year ago, 2O6 in
1895 179 In 1894 and 24S in the last week
of April, 1898 There are 81 failures
reported in Canada this week.

STOCK AND PRODUCE MARKETS.



Market. and Railway stocks Fell.
New York, April 30-Prices of active
railway stocks scored an average net loss
of about V per cent today, which is
probably fair measure of the influence
upon the stock market Of the heavy ship
ments of gold to Europe by tomorrow'a
steamer. Some of the losses were heavier
and some were less, but 1t was because
they were influenced by special causes
Bear sentiment pervaded the market
quite generally, but the dealings were
most strictly confined to professional
trading. Transactions were small and
