DUNN'S WEEKLY
 REVIEW OF TRADE
 segs Tho State of Mar Does Not Disturb
 Business. PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION Opening the Port of Santiago Has Had
 Good E feet, SAGINAW MIDSUMMER SEASON The Iron Manufacture Seems at the Verge of "a Revolution, Owing to Curtalment of the Production of Bessemer

SAGINAW MIDSUMMER SEASON

New York, July 22.-R. c. Dun & Co. in their review of trade tomorrow will say:
 The state of war does not disturb busi- ness After the surrender of Santiago, barely week of rest has preceded the sailing of the Porto Rico force, but mean- while the presidents proclamation opening Santiago to trade on terms sngularly fla yorabe to the inhabitants there and the rush to build up business in Eastern Cuba, are occupying the thoughts of many enter prising firms. Reduction of one-half in the tax heretofore paid with honest instead of Spanish administration brings home to Cuban residents the meaning of the~change and they also learn to use money of which a paper dollar is as good as gold which for them is long step forward.
 In the stagnant midsummer season with business larger than ever before the manu- lecturers nearly all share the gain.
 Print cloths works at Fall River have in part combined to curtail production, half the spindies of that city for a month, but in other branches of the cotton goods trade no such heroic measures appear necessary. There is an increased demand for wooden goods, although in some lines slow and dis appointing, but the number of establish ments at work increases, though the mills are not yet assured of satisfactory prices.
 The Iron Market
 The iron manufacture seems to be at the verge of a revolution since Bessemer pig is held by curtailment of production in the Shenango and Mahoning Valleys at $102l at Pittsburg; and yet some steel works have enormous sales of billets, 100000 tons to the great wire association at prices un- known 20 900 tons to various parties at Chicago at $15,75, and 10000 tons at Pitts burg at $14.75.
 The demand for structural forms keeps all the works busy, and includes for the week $500 tons at Chicago in three con tracts and 7,S00 at Pittsburg in four others, while the plate mills are everywhere crowded, sheets and bars are both in better demand than heretofore and the prolonged weakness in cast pipe which uSnaty uSnas.tty re- quires nearly 100000 t9ps-ssSs~n. n.g in a. year, may presentlypns be cured.

BRADsTREET,s REVIEW

New York, July 22.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Midsummer conditions still govern most lines of trade and manufacture, put the volume of business as indicated by bank clearings shows little decrease, and Is evi- dently considerably in advance of previous years at this time A feature in trade this week is the better demand reported for wool east and west, largely confined, IL IS true to a few grades. This appearance or activity has given a decidedly more hope full tone to the business, but it is not re- fiected in the manufacturing branch Eastern wools are relatively the lowest in the world and stocks held now, It IS claimed, cannot be replaced at lower prices here or abroad.
 The statistical position of pig iron has been strengthened by curtailment or pro- duction and the reducing of stocks fol- lowing a production of an average or near ly O0O GOO tons a month since January l, but some shading, especially of southern iron prices, imparts an air of irregularity to the trade
 Dullness has been a feature of the cereal markets. Old wheat supplies are rapidly decreasing, while the new crop movement, while in excess of last year. does not reach the proportions expected The shipping of Texas wheat to California is one effect or the shortage of supplies reported Another feature of the business situation is the ac- tive preparation making in the coast snip ping trade for large Du5IleSS ioi Weot Indian points, which Is expected to devel- op as a result of military and naval opera lions. The renewal of sailings by coast wise vessels and the practical disappear ance of war risks are accompanying 1ea- lures.
 Low Price of Cotton
 Cotton is at the lowest price ever paid at this season of the year, partly on good crop reports, and also as the result or the announced intention of shutdown by fali River mills For the latter reason print cloths are firmly held at previous quota tions.
 Rather more attention is given the Klon- dike as a result of reported heavy arrivals of gold at Pacific coast points, and esti- mates of a seasons output valued at S2O,- 0Oo.O0O are current. Rather more anima- tion is looked for in the outfitting trade as a result thereof but that advices from Alaska are not wholly favorable is proved bv reports that large numbers of unsuc- cessful prospectors are anxious to get out of the country.
 Faiures for the week were 1SS against 220 last year.
 Cereals exports continue of satisfactory volume. Wheat shipments for the week (flour included) aggregating 22o3,46s bush- els against 1,197, 500 bushels year ago.
 Corn exports, 2S2212S bushels against E. 29S.579 bushels in this week a year ago.

EXHAUST THE SPEECHES.

Friends of Hawaiian Annexation
Want tn" Debate Closed.
Washington, Feb. ia number Of
the members Of the senate committee
on foreign relations favorable to the
Hawaiian annexation treaty held an
informal meeting in Senator Frye's
committee room today for the purpose
Of considering the future course to be
pursued with reference to the treaty
The meeting resulted in Senator Tell
er's suggestion made in executive ses-
sion a few days since that the treaty
should be abandoned as such because
of a lack of votes to pass it, and that
annexation be accomplished through
the means of direct legislation. There
was a thorough discussion Of the situa-
ton, the result of which was decis-
ion to find method of determining
the strength of the annexation senti-
ment. Accordingly Senator Davis will
make m effort to get the treaty up in
the senate next week with the view Of
exhausting the speeches as soon as
possible. He will then attempt to
secure Il test which will reveal the
voting strength OF the friends of the
measure and locate the senators now
considered doubtful.

is not expected that anything in the

be made. If a graceful disclaimer
should come, that will be taken in the
spirit in which it is made; otherwise
the matter will be dropped and the re-
latlOns between the state department

ell to the British demand for rail
way from Burmah to Humankind.
She also agrees to indemnify the kid
naped Frenchman. Germany has Sc
cured a concession for a railway from

about for something else to demand.
Next month the Chinese board of
revenue will pay salaries, half in sycee
and half in dollars owing to the search
ty Of copper coin. This is the first oc-
casion of of payment in dollars, but
the precedent is likely to be followed,
and will thus introduce an extensive

hazy.
Paris, Feb. 13.-Thcre were the usual
crowds about court when the fifth day
OF the trial Of Nj. lola and NJ. Perreux
commenced. NJ. lola and Col. Pic
quart were greeted with hostile cries
on their arrival. The court was
thronged.
The proceedings opened with the re-
call Of Gen. Peiljeux, who testified
that Gen. Saussier the former mill
tary governor of Paris, desired a pub
lie trial for Maj. Esterhazy, but Gen.
}illOt, the minister Of war, ordered
that the trial be secret Nevertheless,
the WitlicSs added. the court martial
refused to keep the entire proceedings
secret, therefore it was impossible to
contend that Maj. EsterIlazy was ac-
Quilted by order Of the authorities On
Gen. PellieuX leaving the stand NJ.
Zola rose and exclaimed:
There are several ways of serving
France. You, general, made your
campaigns; but l will bequeath to
posterity the name of Emile lola, and
uosterity will be my judge
Col. Piquart was then called and
narrated how he had acquired frag-
ments of Il telegram in 1896 and con-
cludcd therefrom that Maj. Esterhazy
was corresponding with suspicious
characters. He procured some of Maj
Esterhazy's handwriting, which, com
pared with certain documents, led to
the conclusion that Maj. Esterhazy
was improperly using official papers.
Col. Picquart's evidence is Of the
highest importance and thus far is the
great event Of the trial. He gave it
with passionless. pitiless completeness,
covering the whole ground from the
moment he was authorized to investi-
gate the rising suspicion against Comic
EstcrhaZy until he found himself a
prisoner at Montvaloroen. The i'm
preston it left was that everything
had been done by Gen. PelliuX and
Maj. Ravary to shelter Comte Ester
llaZy from the consequences of glaring
breaches Of discipline and honor. while
Col. Picquart was disowned, packed
off to Tunis and eventually arrested.
