Washington, March 22.-The repre-
seItatives in Washington of the six
powers signatory TO the Berlin treaty.
Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany,
Austria-Hungary and Russia, have in
concert notified this government of the
blockade of Crete, the respective notes
of Sir Julian Pauncefote, Mr.. Patenotre.
Baron de Fava, Baron von Thielman,
Mr.. Hengel Muller Won Hengervar and
Mr.. de Kotzebue, having been delivered
to Secretary Sherman Sunday. They
were almost Identical, and consisted of
a mere formal announcement of a
blockade of Cretan ports against ships
under the Greek flag commencing at
nine o'clock Sunday morning. Mer-
chant vessels of neutral powers, includ-
ing those of the United States and of
the treaty powers, while subject to
overhauling by the blockading war
ships of the concerted fleets, are not TO
be disturbed in their ordinary COM
mercial occupation if they carry no
merchandise intended for the Greeks or
insurgents on the island.
Washington, March 23.-The United
States will take no action at present
regarding the blockade of Crete. Sec
rotary Sherman says he will simply ac-
knowledge the receipt of the notes of
the representatives in Washington of
the powers, which were delivered to

of Mount Athos.
Constantinople, March 29.-The opin-
ion prevails here that the blockade of
Crete by the fleets of the foreign pow
ers, which commenced Sunday, will be
a useless proceeding, as Col. Vassos.
commander of the Greek army of occu-
patton, is well supplied with provisions.
1t is now thought that the best means
to accomplish the withdrawal of the
Greek troops from Crete would be to
withdraw the Turkish troops.

1T STILL LAGS.
Business Is Slow In Reaching It's For
mer Volume.

mcr Volume.
New York, March 20.-R. G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade.
say:
Though steadily increasing. business is
still much below its volume in former
years of prosperity, ard many express dis
appointment. Yet there is sor1e gain every
week, with more hands at work and
more mills in operation. and the
sure result, larger purchases for con-
sumption, cannot be long delayed. In some
branches II is felt already. There is larger
distribution OF finished products, and the
demand for commercial loans has sharply
increased. especially in dry goods and the
iron and steel branches.
1.-THE progress of the iron and steel indus
try is hindered by uncertainty regarding
the cost of lake ore for the coming year.
While there is no great activity in finished
products the demand steadily increases.
Contracts for several great buildings al
Chicago are pending, and for a good many
bridges and other railroad works. and the
demand for wire nails and for wire does
not abate. nor the demand for black sheets
required in the tin plate manufacture.
Although shipments of boots and shoes
are almost is large as in any previous year,
Il is announced that one or two of the
orders. At the same time many other con-
Germs are taking very large orders, ii is
claimed, at prices below those generally
quoted.
THE demand for wheat has not given
much help to speculation. Atlantic ex-
ports have been only 1853. 800 bushels,
against Lis, 335 flour included, for the cor
responding week last year, while western
receipts have been only 1881, 346 bushels,
against 2,416,0S9 bushels last year. Ac-
counts regarding the coming crop have
been less favorable this week. and the
price has advanced 15s cents. The exports
of corn continue heavy, 4.543.705 bushels
for the week, and quotations advanced
seven-eighths.
The volume of business indicated by
clearing house exchanges is smaller than
last year. The average of daily exchanges
for the month is 3.3 per cent. less than
last year
Failures for the week have been PIG in
the United States, against 26l last year,
