England works warrant hope of larger
consumption. p II LflJ..tE f
The cotton manufacture is a little en-
cOura ged by larger demand for goods
since the reduction in prices and the
abstentiOn of buyers for months past
has probably been due in large meas
ure to expectation of that reduction,
but with the certainty that the print
cloth works are to continue, prices have
further declined to i-.12 cents. The
wooden and wOrsted mills are both buy
ing wool quite largely at prices prob
ably close to the best for reports which
declared there were no concessions a
month ago are now rejoicing that recent
raggedness in prices has passed away.
Behind all the market reports there is
the fact that the consumption of wool
has for about FIVE months been the
largest ever known, and the buying in
dicates, as does the demand for such,
heavy weight goods as has been opened,
that a satisfactory half year is expected
Prices so far paid are said to be from
20 to 80 per cent higher than @ year
ago. with wool from 80 to so per cent
higher, but the buying is thus far en-
couragng. The iron manufacture has
been further encouraged by unusual
business for the season, including large
building CONTRACT made and Others for
bridges pending at ChicagO, a sale of
10000 tons pig to one pipe foundry at
the east, and contract for two vessels
Of 5000 tons each at Cramps yards,
and contracts for. $500 tons hoop
cat New y ork, the 500 for Mexico. Prices
are generally Unchanged, though eastern
works have advanced structural beams
five cents to $1.15. Pig is unchanged,
with fairly large sales. Visible sup
plies of tin are 49, 800 tons, against 49,,
342 d year ago, with 1871 cents quoted,
and with exports Of l0,305 tons of cop

INTO THE LIGHT.

Let Congress make no mistake about
Hawaii. Adjournment without the an
nexation of Hawaii will mean embar-
rassment to the administration,
treachery to Dewey and our gallant
men 5000 miles away from the nearest
American soil, encouragement, moral
and material, to the cause of Spain,
and aid and comfort to every enemy
of this Republic. Force the opponents
to this indispensable national measure
out into the daylight. Compel them to
show their real motives and to assume
full responsibility for their obstruc-
tive acts.
There was a time when the argu-
ments of opposition to Hawaiian an
nexation were entitled to respectful
attention. A month has changed the
conditions, finally and forever. The
mill cannot grind with the water that
is past.-New York Sun.

4 CRITICAL MOMENT.

This paper has preached in season,
and especially out of season the very
disagreeabIe doctrine that the anneXa-
ton movement was slow and gradual
on the part of the United States; that
its final success did not depend upon
the Insignificant condition of things
here, but entirely upon the wishes OF
the American Nation in developing
their commercial interests in the Far
East, and the incidental advantage of
these Islands for strategic purposes.
This way of looking at the matter has
been thoroughly disapprOved of by the
irrepressible element here, who have
felt that the sober view and a luke
