Trade Continues to Improve,

Now York, August -Bradstreet's
says: "The general trade situation
continues to improve, and aside from
the unnecessary prolonged strike of the
soft coal miners, there is little in sight
to cloud the outlook. The feature of
the week is the advance in prices of
almost all leading staples, beginning
with an upward movement all along
the line in iron and steel Following
the lead Of wheat, prices are higher for
hour, corn, oats, lard, potatoes, butter,
eggs, beans, cheese, leaf tobacco, wool
and live stock. Advances for leather,
hides, lumber and linseed oil are also
reported.
Cotton, which is up 3-16 Of a cent,
reports the smallest worlds stock for
seven years past at this period, an i'm
proved tone and higher prices for the
manufactured product.
mo such general or pronounced up
ward movement of prices of nearly all
leading staples has been witnessed
within a week for many years.
Wheat exports are of large volume,
aggregating (wheat and -four as wheat
5,419,653 bushels for the week, as
against 5,312,SO3 bushels last week,
1921, 1854 bushels last year, 1871 ,927
bushels in this week two years ago,
3,42O,OOO bushels in 1894, and 5,O92,5OO
bushels in the corresponding week of
1893. With the exception of last week,
this weeks shipments are the largest
since the third week of September, 1893.

there there is nothing for us to do but

BOOM In HOG MARKET.
A Hundred Million Dollars Advance on
the 0Ountry's Hogs,

Kansas City, August 28.-There Is q
boom under way in the hog market
somewhat similar to that which carried
wheat up to dollar. At the stock
yards to-day prices went up 10 to Is
cents hundredweight, on top Of a
similar advance yesterday.
Prices have advanced 40 cents since
last Friday, 20 cents since August l,
and they are now a dollar higher than
in the middle Of July. TO-day's prices
are the highest in nearly two years.
The hogs Of the country, numbering
about 50,000000, are now worth about
S100,000000 more than their value at
market prices six weeks ago.
Packers say the advance is due to a
scarcity of hogs, but there Is no scare
ity except as compared with what was
expected at this season of the year.
Receipts are about equal to those of a
year ago, and they have been much
larger than last year, all summer, up
to the present time. Last years re-
ceipts at four Western markets were
IL per cent. larger than a year ago
and the Western packers have killed
S,50O,000 hogs since March l, as COM
pared with 7,0O0,O 900 in the correspond
ing time last year.
The advance In prices Is due to in
creased demand for meats rather than
to a scarcity Of hogs. The cOnsumD-
ton In this country and the export de-
mand are much larger than they were
q wear nQO Vhnrn 10 a dnHoianoxy tv,
the hog supplies Of several European
countries, and Canada, also, has fewer
hogs than usual
One thing which probably is helping
the advance along is the disposition of
farmers to hold their hogs back. Usu-
ally 1t takes only a moderate rise to
bring rush of hogs into market. But
the farmers are not tempted to sell any
more freely by the present advance.
Packers have been looking every day
for receipts big enough to enable
them to break the market. But they
haven't come. The farmers evidently
have faith that hogs will go up some
where near in proportion to- the rise in
wheat.
The rise in prices of hogs has, of
course, set the provisions market to
Pork has gone up about
dollar barrel, and other products in
in the past two weeks.
Speculation ON the provision market is
getting larger every day, and the best
traders look for much more advance
than has yet occurred.

Through From Chicago to Japan.

Chicago, August %. - The Inter
Ocean, in commenting upon the recent
advance in the securities Of the Chicago
Great Western railway, gives currency

WHAT GIRLS ARE DOING,

Theater parties and theater clubs are
as popular as ever There are very
few girls who Are not fond of going
to the theater. Some like drama, some
like burlesque, some like comedy, some
tragedy, and some comic opera; but
one and all, with few exceptions, rarely
refuse an invitation ito the play" as
they say in England.
This winter several new theater clubs
have been started. One, which is COM
posed of eight girls, meets every Satur-
day morning to take in the best plays
on the bill boards in rapid succession.
They get their tickets in advance four
seats in front, and the other four di-
rectly behind, so that they can talk,
giggle, and eat their caramals more
comfortably then when all are seated
in row. They go to be amused rath-
err than to be seen, so take the seats in
the peanut" gallery, as it is called, for
fifty cents a piece. The subscription to
this theater club is IS, Which entities
each girl to ten matinees. The girls
have made up a reserve list of other
girls, who can take their places at any
time should they be prevented from go
ing themselves. To celebrate the last
meeting of the club which will take
place some time in the early part Of
February, the members are thinking of
asking a young married woman to
matronize them, and before going to

have been so great as to cause the bal
loon to follow the rotatory winds, and
to be becalmed now and then in the
center. The storage capacities of the
balloon did not suffice for a passage
through the whole polar region, as this
would occupy a month. Herr Andree,
continued the lecturer, had probably
landed in the upper polar zone. and
would then have tried to reach Franz
Josef Land, but he declined to express
any very hopeful view as to the final
result of the experiment.
If Andree does escape alive he will
have a story to tell which will be even
more wonderful and more money-mak-
ing than Nansens. "By Balloon to the
North Pole" would attract both atten-
ton and dollars.

WHERE is 4NDREE?

Where is M. Andree, the daring adj
order to do what has not been done by
the help of Esquimaux and dogs? Is
he an uncommonly cold corpse, or is he
crawling along somewhere in the froz-
en- North on his way to civilization, re-
ceptions and lecturing? Nobody knows.
While perhaps one mans guess is as
good as another's the talk of man
who knows something about the prac-
teal difficulties in Andree's way is in
teresting. DR.. Eckholm told the Stock
holm Geographical society the other
day that the balloon could not keep up
more than fifteen days, and endeavored
to prove, on the basis of meteoro1ogi-
cal laws, that there was a storm center
blowing eastward north Of Spitzber-
gen during the first three days after
Andree's departure. The area of the
storm was probably longest from north
to south, which, said DR.. Eckholm, ex-
planned the fact that the balloon took
so long a time to travel so short a dis
lance. The wind then veered round to
the southeast, and took the balloon to
the calm center. Here the balloon
probably remained one day. A west
northwest wind would then have taken
the balloon along rapidly, but it could
not have lasted long, and was followed
by a fresh breeze from the southwest
or south-southwest A second storm

A SIGN or THE TIMES.

The unsuccessful campaign conducted
in behalf Of Seth Low cost about $780,
900, but some think it was worth the
money. 1t certainly gave an impetus
to citizens movements in politics and
emphasized some ideas that are rapidly
gaining approval. Among them is the
idea that the business of a city hasn't
an inseparable connection with party
politics.
Returns from the seventeen city cleo
tons held in Massachusetts last Tues
elected had a non-partisan backing.
All but one of them ran on nomination
papers or were nominated by non-par-
tisan citizens conventions. In one city
IaWrence), the citizens nominee was
endorsed by the Republicans, while in
| another (HayerhilD, the Democrats
took advantage of the prevailing senti-
ment and nominated a non-partisan
| ticket. Mayor Newberry of Waltham,
who is a Republican, has been three
times elected on Independent nomina,
| ton papers.
Massachusetts, has led the way in
many real reforms, and she isn't afraid
of new ideas If they seem to be good
ones. She is evidently strongly i'm
pressed by the idea that non-partisan
municipal government is a good thing.

SNAGS.

The Hawaiian annexation scheme
which at one time seemed to be run
ming as smoothly as ship at a sue
cessful launching, has struck several
snags. 1t is believed that the treaty
has now only fifty sure supporters in
the senate. 1t would be necessary to
change five votes from the antl-annex-
alton to the annexation side to obtain
the necessary two-thirds majority. A
prominent member of the house says
that he Is inclined to think that if the
vote We're taken to-day the house
would give a majority vote in favor Of
some such annexation measure as the
Morgan bill. This" said he, "ls due.
not to any consideration of the oues-
ton, but to the sort of madness for ma
tional ACKNOWLEDGMENT which seizes
congress from time to time. The mora
the question is soberly debated, how
ever, the smaller will grow the vote"
The Hawaiians themselves don't
seem to be unanimously In favor of
annexation. In the senate yesterday
Mr.. Hoar presented petition, signed
by 1853 native Hawaiians, protesting
against annexation. The native wo~
men don't want to be annexed, and for
very good reason too. A congress-
man who has visited the islands says:
The native women are now recognized
as the equals of the white women and
are classed in the same social set
There is a disposition on the part Of
the white women, however, to class the
native females as negroes, and the ma
tiyes believe that annexation will in
crease the number of white women in
the islands to such an extent that even
tually they will be relegated to the ne
gro class entirely.
If anybody has yet given a good SOL
i'd reason why this country should
hitch on Hawaii it has escaped our OBJ
servation. The United States has
enough to take care of without assum-
ing responsibility for distant isles of
the sea.
