withstanding the cool wet weather, which
checked the distribution of seasonabe
goods, disappointment at the restriction
of the distribution in the spring and early
summer is giving way TO hOpefulness for

ago. The volume is larger, and there are
more people employed than prior TO the
last presidential election. Encouraging
features announced are improvement in

facturers Of woolens are more hopeful al
the outlook for higher prices stimulating
speculative demand for 10th raw and

and Greece Languish.
A dispatch from Constantinople saws
that the powers, to whom Greece has in
trusted her interests. show no signs OF
yielding any of the three points in the
Turkish demand, the annexation of Thes-
sally. the abolition of the capitulations ir
the case of Greek subjects in the Ottoman
empire or an exOrbitant indemnity. The
peace negotiations don't seem to make
much progress and there was considerable
,lisquietude in Athens caused by the ap
parently reliable statement that the negC.
tiations were in danger of collapsing al
together. The ministers who were ques
toned on the subject. however. had NJ
definite news of an official character and
expressed the opinion that the news was
without foundation. 1t is said ON good
authority that the powers are now tryin.
to induce Turkey to sign general peace
conditions defining broad limits within
which Turkey and Greece should after.
ward settle details by direct negotiation.
This news is regarded at Athens witt
dismay as breach of faith ON the pari
of the powers and as leaving Greece to
the tender mercies of the Sultan. 1t is
believed by many good judges al Athens
that Greece may yet have to fight for hel
very existence. Already there are reports
that the Turks have advanced in tn.

and are still advancing toward the towr
of Agtapha. Greece has protested to tbs

Great Storm Disaster Overwheims
Chinese Fishermen.
Meager particulars were brought by the
Empress of Japan of disaster which be-
fell the fishermen of Chusan archipelago,
off the coast of China. On May q. when
all the fishing boats were out on the fish

the several hundred boats out at the time
very few returned. and it is estimated
that some 800 men lost their lives. The
storm was one of those sudden ones for
which the coast of China is noted, and the
fishermen had no chance to seek shelter.
The storm swept over the entire archi-
pelago. which extends across the mouth
of HanchOw bay ON the eastern coast of
China. Several large junks were lost, in
which scores perished.

"suesr Trust Exists No Lonres.-

We are assured by The Sugar Trade
Journal of May 13-organ of the Sugar
trust-tbat IF ever monopoly existed
in the sugar refining business it exists
no longer, and it is not likely that it
will ever be renewed" This is delight
full news. The journal was discussing
an amendment to the senate bill to have
refined sugars pay the same duties as
raw sugars in cases where the manufac-
ture is controlled by a monopoly. If this
visionary proposal" should pass the
senate, it would jeopardize the tariff
bill and the Sugar trusts tens of
millions of surplus profits, which are SO
near at hand that the mouths of Have
meyer and Searles arewatering for them.
The Sugar trust trembles at the prospect
and tries to keep up its courage by hav-
ing it's organ inform the world that "a
lot of such visionary proposals will, no
doubt, be intrcduced while the bill is
under discussion, but in the end the
sound Judgment men will control and a
tariff bill be passed without very much
change from the senate schedule"
The trust may be right. 1t usually is,
for it can predict what will happen to
the sugar schedule of the senate bill 1t
knows what demands will be made by
its agents and tools in the senate, and
it also knows the power of those who
make demands to enforce them. 1t puts
$40, 200, 900 against the interests of TO-
000,000 people, and it knows from ex-
perience which has most weight in the
senate, where two or three hold the bal
ance of power.

To Promote Trade by Strangling.
Mckinley went to Philadelphia the
other day to pronounce his benedictiOn
upon what purports to be a movement
for the promotion of commerce be-
tween the United States and other
countries.
How much his heart is in any gen-
uine movement of that kind appears
from his speech at the big banquet in
the evening. He told the Philadelphians
that it would do them no good to grum-
BILE because Il new law to make show
ers of prosperity fall was not passed in
a day. And he went on to say: a
tariff law half made is of no practical
use except to indicate that in Il little
while whole tariff law will be done,
and it is making progress. 1t is reach
ing the end, and when the end comes
we will have business confidence and
industrial activity"
This was fine talk. surely, at a gath
ering ostensibly assembled in the in
terest of foreign commerce. Everybody
present knew that the pending bill is
framed from beginning to end not to
promote commerce, but to restrict it.
