puN's REVIEW.
Dewsy's Victory at Manila Had Good
Effect on Trade.

NEW YORK, May 7.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says:
A state OF war was so greatly dreaded
by those who have seen nothing like IL
for more than 30 years that its coming
has hurt less than its apprehension.
Especially since the victory at Manila
indicated superiority of the American
navy. gun for gun. expectations that
the war will not last long have infiu-
enced all markets. and stocks have adj
vanced, the average of prices for rail-
roads 81 per share.
The general condition of business has
been materially improved. one days
work by the officers and men at Manila
has given many days work 10 thou
sands of people at home of whom they
knew nothing and has placed all Ameri-
can Industries and interests on a stron-
ger footing for any conceivable future.
Millions living, as well as millions Of
generations yet TO come, owe TO them a
debt.
The most sensational OF all changes,
and the most practically important has
been the rise in wheat-13 cents during
one days session, 21ik cents from Tues
day TO Thursday night and 25ia cents
for the week-throwing into the shade
all past advances and all expectations.
No shrinkage in forthcoming supply ac-
counts for the advance. Western re-
ceipts, after averaging less than $780,
600 bushels per week for four months.
have suddenly risen TO more than $500, 70
600 bushels.
Industries have received a wonderful
stimulus from the conviction that hos
tilities win not last long and FROM
heavy government orders. Besides great
demand for steel plates and other iron
products and amfhuDitlon, the govern
ment has ordered 100000 yards wooden
cloths, 125O0O blankets. 5000 600 yards
cotton goods and great quantities Of
provisions and other supplies, and mean
while reviving confidence has multiplied
other demands.
Failures for the week have been 2}S
in the United States against 22l last
year and 25 in Canada against 80 last
year

EAGLE COATED WITH ICE.
MaiRe Weather TOO Much for the
King of nirds-Eaasily Captured
in ley Tetters.

A large bald eagle was captured
at Rockford, Ne. a few days ago
by a party of men out sealing
on the ice-pack in the bay. One
of them deserted a black something
standing upon a small hummock. At
first it was supposed to be a bit Of
wreckage, but when the boats gotnear-
er It was seen TO be an eagle.
One Of the party started out to stalk
It, and the others laid by to watch.
Presently they saw the hunter lift his
gun and take aim. A moment later he
took it down and, arising, walked up
TO the eagle, which did not move.
On joining the first man the hunters
found that the eagle was covered with
ice, and that its wings were securely
frozen to its sides The bird was un-
able to move, and after being bound
with rope was put into the cabin Of one
of the fishing boats.
A few minutes later there was a tre-
mendous ado aboard the boat. The
warm air in the cabin had released the
birds icy bands and it was tapping
about the cabin, overturning crockery
and smashing the glass in the slSylight
One of the men jumped into the cabin
and tried to grab the bird. He was
knocked over, severely clawed and,
thoroughly dazed, was dragged out by
his companions.
When the bird had tired wreclSing
things in the cabin some one suggested
that it be smoked into stupefaction. So
a piece Of tarpaulin was set on fire and
hurled down upon the cabin stove. In
its fright this was knocked Off the
stove by the bird, and the boat was in
a fair way OF being burned mp when
one OF the men ended the excitement
by firing two charges Of buckshot into
the birds head.-N. Y. World.
