Fine Forests in Cuba.

The Lumberman's Review has given us an idea of source of wealth in Cuba that is generally overlooked in the recital of resources of wealth in that island, when it says:
 Cuba still possesses Is. 900, GOO acres of virgin forest abounding in valuable timber none of which is useful as coarse construction lum Der while near Iy every foot would be salable in the United States and bring high prices. Cuban mahogany and cedar are par ticularly liked in the United States. The mahogany is very hard and shows a handsome grain and is preferred by many to any other variety in common use The moment Spain drops the reins of government Tn Cuba, and trade relations are established with the states, there will be a movement, both inward and outward, of forest which will have beneficial effect upon the industries in both countries "-Ex.

Albany, Sept. 2i.-The supporters of
Governor Black have exposed their
hand. which has been responsible for
their great confidence in their ability
10 defeat Colonel Roosevelt for the
gubernatorial nomination and which,
they say, makes the nomination of the
colonel an impossibiity. Colonel Roose-
welt, they say, Is ineligible" to run
as a candidate for governor in this
state at this time. When Colonel
Roosevelt was sworn in as assistant
secretary Of the navy he swore to his
residence as Washington. D. C. 1t is
claimed that further evidence of his
ineligbilty is afforded in the fact that
when he was assessed for personal
property in the town of Oyster Bay
he later appeared before the tax COM
mssioners and swore off the assess
ment, upon the ground that he was not
a resident of Oyster Bay, but was
resident of Washington.
Chairman B. Il. Odell, Jr. of the Re-
publican state committee, was inter-
viewed at the Fifth Avenue hotel. New
York, in reference to the alleged in
eligibility of Colonel Roosevelt.
1--WE knew all about the affidavits
signed by Colonel Roosevelt" said Mr..
Odell, 'and we are not in the least
worried. The best lawyers and the
best judges in the city have had this
under consideration all day, and they
are unanimously of the opinion that
there is nothing in these documents
which will prevent the nomination and
election of Colonel Roosevelt"

FINANCE AND TRADE.
europe Must Anxiously Consider Our
Demands For Money,

New York, Sept A.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S review of trade says: Europe
will have to consider possible Amer
lean demands for money much more
anxiously In the future Doubtless
there has been for many years a feel
ing that the new continent could be
put off with promises But the control
Of this country over money markets in
the old wHrld is coming to be that of a
master. Our banks lend over there
heavily when 1t is THE most convenient
market for them, but they draw on
Europe whenever they want money,
and no longer have occasion to limit
their drafts.
This country is not drawing on
Europe as largely to pay for bread
wheat exports for the week, flour in
cluded, have been 3963,2O4 bushels
from Atlantic ports. against 3,677, 1858
last year. and 543,417 from Pacific ports,
against 1,O94,S93 last year, making for
eight weeks 1O,2O3,94l from both coasts,
-four included. against 15,56s.129 last
year. Prices have risen about four
cents for the week.
The reports from different cities dis
close wonderful activity at the chief
centers of western trade, the dis
patches from Chicago, st. Paul and St.
Louis being especially significant.
Even in eastern markSs it is COM
monty said that no larger trade has
ever been known, unless in 1892, but
the western cities are running things
much after their own taste this year,
having greater advantages than ever
before in heavy bank balances.
Bradstreets review says: Favorable
trade developments manifest them
selves chiefly along the lines previously
noted. The Importance Of large ex-
port demand to the country's domestic
interests is Illustrated by the improved
tone and prices of wheat and flour
this week. growing out of the better
foreign buying induced by less favor
able Russian crop reports, smaller
shipments from that country and ap-
parentIy continued careful selling by
American producers.
