New York, Jan. 29.-Conditions ia
vorable to more extensive trade are
shown in the dry goods market at the
close of the weeks trading. The dis
position of buyers is more in the line of
free purchases. The returns for the
week have been partially satisfactory.
In cotton goods lines there has been
but slight increase in the sales and
this has been due to local causes in
some sections. But there has been Il
noteworthy firmness in all lines of staple
goods, with prints in fair, steady de
mand. There have been some adjust
ments in the prices Of Americans lndl-
goes. but aside from these there are no
quotab!e changes in the price situation
in any class Of goods. Jobbers locally
have had a week which aggregated bet
ter than last week. Reports from out
Of town jobbers centers Show that the
interest taken by retailers in the market
is neither slight nor f1eeting.

tion committees Of the two houses

dent to meet any exigency that may
arise.
Speaker Reed was in personal con.
ference with the president during the

precautionary provision and an assur-
ance to the world that tie government

without distinction of parties or per-
sons, is and will be solidly united in
everything that pertains to supporting
our president in the maintenance of
just. relations with our fellow men and

AMMUNITION NEEDED,


Ten Million Dollars Will Be Assigned for
That Purpose.
WASHINGTON, March While no
exact estimate has been made of the
share of the $50,Oo0,oo appropriation
to be allotted to ammunition. it is esti-
mated that at least $l0,000,00O would
be SO assigned, owing to the enormous
cost of ,retilling the ammunition chests
of the warships now in service. AT
present there is not enough ammuni-
tion on hand for one retlling beyond
that now on board. A single retilling
costs So, 100000. Each first class bat.
tleship carries 400 tons Of ammunition.
With the amounts on hand and the re-
fills which are being calculated on, the
navy would have an ample supply Of
ammunition, even if the ships were
called into frequent action.

he was glad that at last the people Of

the red stripes of the flag would be
made more red with the crimson blood
the South would shed in it's defense.
Mr.. Bailey closed for the Democrats
in a vigorous speech of five minutes
The occasion was extraordinary, he
said, and the country was now, as for
merly, ready to vote millions for de-
fense, but not cent for tribute. He
hoped the occasion would not result in
war, but if so, let war come. He ex-
pressed the hope that the old armies Of
the North and South should be united
to fight together new battle of Get
tysburg. There was great applause at
the close of his speech.
