CABINET SPECULATION.
CANTON GOSSIP SEEMS TO HAVE
HAD A SETBACK.
A Great Deal is Assumed, But There
is Mighty Little of Anything
That is Really Certain.

Canton, O., Feb. 26.-Cabinet specula-
ton seems to have come to a halt 1t
is assumed that Colonel J.-J. McCook has
been given an opportunity to accept a
portfolio, but is not certain that he will
do so.
In the talk about New York appoint
ments that has appeared in the news
papers from day to day since the cleo.
ton it seems to have escaped general
notice that Hon. Whitelaw Reid. of the
New York Tribune, has always been. a
great favorite of the president-elect for
some suitable and conspicuous recogni-
ton. Mr.. Reds selection for a place in
the cabinet or foreign embassy at his
choice has been until recently under
Major McKinley's careful and most cor
dial consideration.
The relations between the two gentle
men have long been intimate, but Mr..
Reid and his friends think it would be
imDrudent for him to risk the confine
ment of official work until his health is
absolutely restored. and hence have ad-
vised against that course.
Major Mckinley within the last fort
night finally and reluctantly gave up the
idea of appointing Mr.. Reid and there
upon wrote him a letter expressive both
of his regard and appreciation. and of
the deep regfet that for the present at
least he could not have the advantage
of his association and cooperation in the
affairs of the administration.
Major Mckinley is improving rapidly
in health. He took a long walk today
and did considerable work.

An Old Friend Making Itself Known
In Chicago.

In one of the large retail grocery
stores in Chicago, a special pagoda or
booth stands about the middle of the
great room, which covers some acres in
extent.
This picturesque little affair is built
with counter and upper deck, the
whole structure being decorated with
soft white material gracefully draped
and trimmed with navy blue cloth.
An array of delicate imported cups
and saucers covers the front counter
and the dainty after dinner coffee
spoons and a good-natured. steaming
coffee pot seem TO indicate free coffee
for the asking but the familiar round
red disk containing the words, 1T
makes red blood" announces to all
newspaper readers that Postum, the
grain beverage which looks so much
like coffee, is being served by an at
tractive young lady. The exhibitions
of Postum continue by the year in the
large stores in Chicago and the cele-
brated food-drink is used by many of
Chicago's best families in the place of
coffee.
Postum has established a position for
itself by pure merit, and is known as
distinct beverage, with it's own pun
gent flavor and nourishing properties.
Tea is a beverage, Chocolate is bever-

SEEN BY DUN.
Wave of Prosperity Appears to Be
Coming Mighty Slow.

New York, Feb. 26-R. G. Dun & Co.
viii say tomorrow in their weekly re-
view of trade:
Genuine improvement in business
does not come with a rush, like the
breaking of a great dam. The growth
for some weeks past has been more
encouraging because in nearly all lines
it has been gradually moderate.
1t was not 10 be expected that the
excess of exports over imports would
continue as large in January as it had
been in previous months and yet it was
surprisingly large The February re-
turns have naturally been less favor
able.s as cotton exports fall off at this
season, and yet a net increase COM
pared with last year is trif1ing, while
increase in imports to be expected at
this season has amounted during the
past three weeks to only $629, Gao, COM
pared with last year. or about 2 per
cent. Nothing in the state of foreign
exchange indicates that the heavy
credits in favor of this country have
been liquidated or seriously diminished.
Many Industries are gaining. AL
though brown four-yard sheetings are
one-eighth lower and print cloths one
sixteenth lower, it is found that sew
eral cotton mills are started now COW
cred by the restrictions as to print
cloth works which is carried out. In
creasing demand has also started quite
a number of wooden mills, including
many making dress goods and hosiery
for heavy weights and there are i'm
proving sales of better qualities.
In boots and shoes also. growing be-
lief that prices will not give way has
started many more shops. although
many jobbers will shrink from the
prices asked.
Wheat enjoyed a brief rise. then
dropped over 8 cents and closed 25s
lower for the week While western
receipts were 40 per cent smaller than
last year. for the past four weeks At
lantic exports, flour included, in the
same weeks have been 6,345,3 15 bushels
against 7,043,577 last year. and the ex-
ports of corn have been S,435, 552 bush
els against 4.195.2S2 last year. The in
crease in corn more than makes up in
foreign consumption for the decrease in
wheat.
Railroad earnings in three weeks of
February have been SO per cent larger
than last year, but SIS per cent smaller
than in 1892. Chicago east bound ton
mage in three weeks of February has
been 265, $40 against 20S.S4O last wear
and 220,3l1 in 1898. Exchanges through
principal clearing houses have aver
aged for February rs per cent less
than last year. but these returns by no
means fairly represent the volume of
new business.
Failures for the week have been 296
in the United States against 27S last
year and 80 in Canada against 5S last
year.
