OUTLOOK Is PROMISING,
Prospects for Fall Trade Are Good-Hope
full Feeling in Iron.


New York, July ly16.-Bradstreet s says:
Pending the initiation of new fall busi-
ness, preparations for which are &C.
lively under way in all markets, there
exists quiet midsummer condition, ac-
companied, however, in most cases, by
price steadiness and confidence in
promising outlook for fall trade. While
there seems little reason to expect any,
thing like the excited foreign buying OF
cereals this year which occurred last
season, the worlds wheat crops all
pointing to exceptionally large if not
record breaking yields, still the situa-
ton of carried-over supplies. visible
and invisible, is such as to lead to conf
dsnce in good general demand for most
Of this country's surplus, though the
outlook favors a considerable shading
of prices.
There is little more hopeful feeling
in the iron and steel trade, the result
partly of reduced output and stocks Of
pig, and partly owing to the large busi-
ness reported offering, particularly at
the west, where some mills will. forego
their usual summer shut down and 9TH
ers will curtail the vacation period ma
terially. Except for some shading in
cereals, caused by the usual tendency
to discount government crop reports
and look for larger than indicated crop
yields. the price situation is one of con-
siderable steadiness.

.ANNOYEDAT GERMANY
Her Actions at Manila Giving Our
Government More or
Less Trouble.
HAs not YET BEEN TAKEN TO TASK

The American Hog Absorbs Attention Of
Diplomats Just Now-Her Conduct st
Manila Not Considered Square, How
ever-Capitulation of Santiago Brings
Up an Important Question Of Govern
ment as Between the United States and
the Cubans.
Washington, July 1.-THE fact that
sur government has been engaged in
4 vigorous correspondence with the
German government through the
medium of Ambassador White has
given rise to the assumption that the
state department has been making rep.
resentations to Germany on the SUBJ
1ect OF the conduct of the German naval
commanders in the Philippines. This,
however. is erroneous, the correspon-
dence in question relating to that old
and troublesome issue the exclusion de-
crees of the German government di-
rected against United States hog prod
ucts. 1t appears that acting upon very
scant evidence. as it was regarded by
our officials, the German customs Off
GERS have denied the admission into
Germany to very large and valuable
consignment of boned ham from a Chi
cago packing establishment of the high
est reputation.
Germany's Attitude Annoys Us.
The attitude assumed by the German
naval commanders in he Philippines is
without doubt a soul of annoyance
and apprehension to our government.
The spirit of quibbling as between the
insurgents and the American forces in
the Philippines attributed to the Ger
man government by its own papers is
Tar from satisfactory to a government
like ours, accustomed to deal fairly,
frankly and openly in international is
sues instead Of adopting underhand
courses. Still our government is salts
fled that its interests are safe in the
hands of Admiral Dewey, and is adher-
ing to its original intention OF allowing
him free hand to deal with the situa-
tion. Until he himself asks for action
on the part Of the government it is not
the purpose to make any representa-
tions on tho subject CT the Philippines
to the German government.
Comment In German Papers.
cable from London says that the
Berlin correspondent of The Times te!e-
graphs that paper: The Irene inc d-nt
Is hardly commented upon here; but
the fact that no official denial is forth
coming is worthy of note. The North
German Gazette declared that so far
as 1t knew no confirmation OF the Incl
dent has been received in official circles.
The National Gazette dsmisses it as
a rumor intended to create b&d feeling
between Germany and the United
States The Nossssche Zeitung recog-
nizes the Importance Of the fall of San
tiago, but emphasizes the fact that
Cuba is in no way lost to Spain, as
Santiago is Of no strategic Importance
now that Admiral Cervera's squadron
is destroyed The military expert of
the North German Gazette's staff sug-
gests that it was only the Spanish
knowledge Of the immense superiority
Of the American artillery which led to

FIGHT ON REVENUE STAMPS.
Express Combine Puts the Screws on the
Denver and Rio Grande.

Chicago, July 16.-The Denver and
Rio Grande Express company has been
furnishing revenue stamps to it's pa
irons, while the American, Adams and
United States, members Of the so-called
express combine" refuse to do so. A
circular has been issued by the combi-
nation saying that there will be no
through billing between Denver and Rio
Grande and this company after July Is,
1898, on account Of the Denver and Rio
Grande Express company furnishing
shippers with internal revenue stamps
at common points, and business will
not be interchanged with the Denver
and Rio Grande express except as pro-
vided in rules governing local ex-
presses"
The combination claims that it is not
subject to the provisions of the inter-
state commerce act, and can interpose
all the obstacles it chooses to commerce
carried by other companies.

ban soil, with large commercial port
and harbor as its center. 1t becomes nec-
essary to determine how it shall be ad-
ministered. For the present. it is ex-
pected. the military authorities wiiihave
entire direction Of affairs, both at Santi-
ago city and the outlying country.
When the details Of the surrender are
carried out there will be time to con-
slider the larger question of the perma-
nent status Of this tract. II the prece-
dent of Manila is followed, in which
case General Merritt was sent as mill
tary governor. then a military official
will be designated to administer affairs
at Santiago city and thereabouts
But is appreciated that the conditions
are quite different at Santiago from
those in Manila, as the government has
disclaimed purpose to make territorial
acquisition in Cuba. and has directed
its efforts thus far to making Cuba free
and placing the Cubans in control. This
condition may lead to a consideration Of
the expediency of allowing the Cubans
themselves to establish an administra-
ton at Santiago. thus giving them the
opportunity to try their ability at di-
recting civil affairs, and also giving
them a foothold on the island
In that event General Garcia, being
on the ground, would doubtless figure
prominently in the administration, al
though President Masso and his cabinet
are. said to be in the adjoining province
of Puerto Principe and readily accessi-
BILE to Santiago. No determination has
been reached, so far as can be learned,
as to the form of administration, for
until the surrender iteslf is completed
the authorities here are not disposed to
settle the details of questions which nat
urally follow the surrender. 1t is felt.
however, that an important question Of
general policy hinges on the action at
Santiago.
