BRADSTREE1vs REVIEW

New York, April S.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
A sensible qu:eting of demand for
staple goods is perceptible in the various
detailed trade reports coming TO hand
this week. At the east the drift of
matters affecting our foreign relations
has been such as to discourage new bus
mess, but this tendency has been consid-
erably accentuated by untimely cold
weather, which has checked the usual
Easter demand to a considerable extent.
Reports from the west are that the heavy
rush of spring business is about over
and that orders coming in now are of n
tilling-in character. Here again reports
of unreasonable weather are met with.
fairly good business is reported AZ
the South, but slight check to our
export trade is reported, growing out
of the raising of freight and insurance
rates consequent on the disturbed for
|eign outlook. Frost is reported to have
done considerable damage to the peach
and other fruit crops of the South and
to early planted tobacco. A fairly SAT.
isfactory trade is reported at the North
west. Lake navigation is now open, ana
|anticipat;ons are that prosperous year
business will be done.
Rather less activity is noted in most
of the countries great staples. Cotton
goods have moved fairly well, ginghams
especially being in excellent demand,
and except for low grade cottons, nota-
bIy nrint cloths, which have made n
new low price record of two cents per
yard this week. athe situation is as
favorable as could be expected Wool is

business and unsatisfactory margins of

George l.. Savage. of the well known
photograph and stationery house OF
c. K. Savage, returned last night from,
q i've weeks visit to leading Amerl-
can cities. He was accompanied oiI
his journey by his wife. While alb
sent they visited Chicago. Washing
ton. Boston. New York and Key West,
the latter being probably the most In
terestins point touched.
Mr.. and Mrs. Savage sailed from
New York on the Comal. fine ship be-
longing to the Mallory steamship line,
and arrived at Key West on the 18th
inst. He spent twenty-four hours
there and witnessed the landing of an
immense quantity of government am
munltion. Some of the i3-inch pro-
jeotiles for the rapid firing guns weigh
1,10O pounds each and are called
Havana fellows" by the Amerl-
can sailors. Key West is prac-
tlcally Spanish city. OF its
$4,000 population. two-thirds are prob
ably Spanish and negroes. At present
1t is busting, bustling city, hlled
with newspaper correspondents and
other wide awake persons. II is but
eighty miles from Havana. In the
harbor the day Mr.. Savage and wife
were there the New York and Indl-
ana Warships were ON patrol duty
while the Newark and Detroit armed
cruisers occupied positions further
out in the ocean, yet plainly visible
from the shore. There were also
number of torpedo boats In sight,
one of them is veritable engine OF
destruction, the Admiral Porter, and
has a speed of thirty three miles an
hour, thus being able to overtake ana
run down the biggest and fastest bat
tleship. A description Of 1t is very
interesting. 1t is cigar shaped and
only ten feet wide. The captains
cabin is only three feet wide. six feet
long and six and a half feet high.
Mr. and Mrs. Savage witnessed the
landing of the Olivette's crew which
brought five OF the Names victims to
Key West for burial The bodies of the
unfortunate sailors were terribly man
gled and the five bodies We're buried in
two baskets. The murmurings and dis
content of Americans We're very
marked on the Olivette's arrival and
which were very impressive and con-
regulations and honor.
Mr.. Savage brought home with him
a most interesting relic in the shape of
a piece of copper and wood taken from
the ceiling and cabin Of the Maine
after her destruction. II has been on
exhibition in Savages window
throughout the day and has been
closely inspected by hundreds of peo-
nile.
