INDUSTRIES DOING WELL.

New Orders Restricted. but OLD Ones
Large ana Operations Active.
New York. April ls.--H. G. Dun g Co.'s
Weekly Review OF Trade says: The
meaning OF congress regarding Spain Is
not In doubt, but the form of declaration
at this hour Is In question. Preparations
for war continue as II II were inevitable.
There is some hindrance in business.
and yet tho volume OF payments through
clearing houses is still 1ss percent larger
than last year and. outside New York,
about 22 percent larger than in 1892.
though speculative stagnation here
makes the aggregate lower. New York
banks may now realize they are strong
enough for all possible emergencies and
may give the government valuable Aid
by greater freedom In business loans.
The industries are doing we'll. because
they have enormous orders taken In
February and March, or earlier. which
ensure operations for periods varying
from a fortnight TO several months; but
the new orders upon which they have TO
rely IL partial stoppage or closing of
many works Is to be prevented are just
now restricted by apprehension about
the money market and the possibility
OF loans. Men who complain are NOT
those who can calmly shut down their
works wholly or In part and wait.
In boots and shoes remarkably heavy
orders have been booked. Shipments
from the east are larger than last year
by IL percent but less than In the hrst
half of April 1895. though greater than
In any other year. Still lower contracts
are reported I'm leather of some varie-
ties. and packer hides at Chicago are
shade weaker in some grades. With
prices for print cloths still at the lowest
point ever touched. buying Of cotton
goods Is more Kindred than many are
willing to admit by the idea that other
goods. not equally overproduced. may
likewise decline In price. The stagna-
tion In wool is something remarkable,
the total Gales at the three chief mar
kets having been only 11s2.14 pounds,
against s.606, 800 last year, and In the
first half of April only assoc pounds
against 22.346,o0o year ago. Manufac-
turers are still waiting, although some

ample orders for the present In most

The volume os legitimate business Is
enormous. and meanwhile failures are
remarkably small. For the week they

Thanks 70 the wisdom Of = majority Of

the nnsnces of the nation are today in q
satisfactory condition for war. II war

Despite the assertion OF the Chicago
convention and Its candidate In 1894 that
no material increase could come to our
currency wishout free coinage of silver.
the United states has today more money
in circulation, than ever before; more
gold than ever before. and her people have
more money In bank. which they can
loan to the government, should 1t find
itself compelled TO issue bonds. The
people Of the United States are now bet
ter able to supply the money necessary
for var fund. whether 1t is gathered
from among them by taxation or by
loan, or both, than ever before In the
history OF the country. The total money
In circulation on April LIST was accord

departments shows the available cash
balance in the treasury. including she

Fortunately. the money in circulation
has increased greatly in the past 2l
months the gold In the treasury and in
the country has increased. and the funds
held by the people which they would be
willing to loan.to the governments by
purchase of bonds have also increased.
The money in circulation 10 s24S 38s 900
greater than when the Chicago conven-
tion demanded more money and insisted
that nothing but free silver could supply
it; the gold In circulation TODAY, In the
very face Of war. IL sis5, o0o, 900 greater
than At that time. and the reports OF
private State and national banks show
the heaviest deposits in their histo~y.
Add.to this, the fact that government
bonds drawing q low rate Of interest ore

though redeemable within a compare
lively short term OF years. and 1t will be
sesn that tho desire OF the average Citizen
to invest his money In government secr-

FUND OF A HALF A MILLION.

Boston, April 16.--Governor Wolcott
sent a message to the legislature yes
terday afternoon recommending an
emergency appropriation of 100000 to
increase the efficiency of the state mil
itia. A bill was promptly framed en-
bodying the recommendations of the
governor, and was referred to the proper
committee. Then IL was reported back.
and under suspension Of the rules,
passed both branches and became law.
IT required only - minutes to transact
this legislation.
The ways and means committee re-
ported an appropriation of $50, 900 for the
Worcester lunatic hospital. $4,000 of
which shall be for new administration
building. and $4,000 for q new kitchen;
also an appropriation OF $69. $50 for the
Tewksbury almshouse. ~ which $50, 900
Is for .hospital for consumptives:
ought not to pass" ON the appropriation
for illuminating ths dome and lantern
of the state house. and for improvements
in the state house grounds.
Ought not to pass was reported on
the bill to provide that sessions of mu-
nicipal. police and district courts be not
held on public holidays.
Leave to withdraw was reported on the
petition for an act to prevent the dis
fgurement of parks and boulevards by
advertisements.
Mr.. Crouch OF Northampton had dis
charged from the orders the bill relative
to the exemption Of the property of
widows Of soldiers or sailors from taxa
Mon. The house concurred with the
senate amendment to exempt only $4,000,
and then only In case the total property
was not over $4,000. This completes the
passage OF the bill in concurrence
The house spent the full half-hour al
lowed on the motion Of Mr. Donahue OF
Fall River To reconsider the rejection of
the bill TO prevent overtime work by
women and minors In manufacturing es-
adjustments. but refused to reverse its
action.
The senate refused to engross the
Harvard university bill, and referred n
to the next legislature.

How Much Depends on tho Mschete.
Strings and Thongs are the Factors.
Strings, thongs and snap-catches play
important parts In the field uniform of
a Cuban insurRent. Persons who have
seen the little band OF Cuban patriots
with Buffalo bill's Wild West Show come
dashing into tho arena have noticed that
each man. by quick movement OF the

which is Reid ty string, bangles uron

Result of Inquiry Into The
Cotton Industry.
ABAY STATE COMPARISON
The Disparity Per Spindle is More
Apparent Than Real
FREIGHT RATES ARE A FACTOR.

\ Boston. April 1e.--An inquiry into the
comparative conditions of the cotton in
dustry I'm the north and south has been
made by the state bureau Of the statis-
ties of labor. The report states that
there are certain advantages which the
mills In Massachusetts, and the south
respectively enjoy as against each other
u plain. The principal advantage in
the south lies In long hours and low
wages. The disparity In nominal wages
10 crearly shown by the figures presented,
and probably amounts, TO put II In
general statement, TO at least 80 percent

from the manufacturers standpoint.
do not show labor cost. and, so far as the
Industry as q whole Ia concerned, the
labor cost wen computed per spindle
does not show nearly so wide variation.
II the total cost OF labor and stock be
computed as = percentage upon the out
put, .the differences between the states
are still less.
The proximity of the southern mills
to the cotton fields Is largely Offset by
higher freight rates and other factors,
so that no great difference is 10 be seen
In the price of cotton at the mill, while
the southern mills are great distance
from the centers Of distribution Of the
product and they are also further away
from the sources whence machinery and
supplies must be obtained. That profits
are never again to be had in the industry
In Massachusetts,, and that wages are to
be reduced permanently is improbable.
That Massachusetts will ever lower the
conditions that have been fixed, not
merely by law. but by public sentiment,
for the employment Of women and chill
drsn, and for the sanitation of factories.
is equally improbable.
