BOOK on COMMERCIAL RELATIONS.
Bureau of Foreign Commerce Pre-
pairing a Valuable VOIumn.

Washington. Oct. 1O.-The bureau of
foreign commerce of the state department
is just now busily engaged in the prepara-
tlon for publication of the volume known
as Commercial Relations of the United
States" embodying annual reports from
United States consuls in every country in
the world upon the trade conditions in
their respective districts. Within the
past three years the quality and the value
of this annual publication to the business
interests bf the country have improved in
an astonishing degree, owing to careful
selection of material, patient suggestion to
eonsuls of information likely to be de-
sired, and the addition of compendloua
and thorough review prepared by the chief
of the bureau setting out conclusions as
to general trade tendencies that may Ibe
impaItialy drawn from the vast store of
matter supplied by the consuls.
The forthcoming volume is of larger
scope even than its predecessors, and in
stead of being little more than the dry
compilation Of figures that Il formerly
was-the commercial relations" for 1896

such variety as to be valuable and inter
esting not only to exporting merchants,
but to public men, to manufacturers aud
to technical workers. An indication Of
sthe character of the work is afforded by
the extracts that have been made from
the reports received within the last week
only and have been given the benefit of
advance publication.

concern and is watching anxiously the
condition of the people in the threatened
districts. There is no need, however to

necessary measures without waiting for

London, oct. 1.-THE Times, comment-
ing editorially this morning on the Gus

fails to adopt a bold reform policy I'm
Cuba likely to dsarm American Jingo-
ism, 1t might turn out to have been wiser
to have left Gen. Weyler to finish tha
war in his own fashion"
The Standard, after asking why Gen.
Weyler is recalled IL 1t is intended to cons
tinue the campaign, says: 1T seems only
too plain that Senor Sagasta's course
hardly deserves the name of policy II is
at most a device for paIrying Americas
importunate questions We suspect thag
Cen Woodford presented something very
like an ultimatum, and that, but for
American pressure, nothing would have
been heard of autonomy. We doubt that
q Cuban settlement is much nearer. There
will be more fighting and more negotia-
ton Senior Sagasta must walk warily
If he proposes to be more than diplo-
matte match for the American ambassa-
dor
ION the other hand, the Washington
cabinet has need TO be circumspect. Spain
has only Cuba and honor left, and any
open interference with her rights over
Cuba would kindle a fire of resentment in
which all talk of autonomy would dsap-
pear and the struggle attain wider dimen-
sions."
