BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The Victory of Commodore Dewey at
Manila Serves 10 Give nm Inn
petus 10 General 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 it for more than
~ years that its coming has hurt less than
IT'S appre hension. Especially since the vic
tory at Manila, which indicates the superb
orlty or the American navy, gun for gun
expectations that the war will not last long
mas Influenced all markets, and stocks have
advanced, the average OF prices for rail-
roads s.. 20 per share. The general condi-
ton OF business has been materially i'm
proved. one days work by the officers
and men at Manila has given many DAYS
WORK 10 thousands Of people at home of
Whom they knew nothing, and has placed
al American industries and interests on
stronger footing for any conceivable fu-
ture. The fact that gold is now used al
most exclusively between the treasury and
the clearing house indicates the entire free
dom from apprehension about the cur
rency or public credit
Inc most sensational OF all changes, and
the most practically important has been
the rise In wheat-13 cents during one DAVIS
session, 21a cents from Tuesday to Thurs
day night, and 2519 cents for the week
throwing into the shade all past advances
ana all expectations, though reaction of
Ia cents naturally followed on Friday The
remarkable rise on Thursday was largely
uue TO removal OF duties by France, and TO
the prohibition of exports by Russia horn
showing the extraordinary needs abroad
so that the rise OF 25l2 cents for the week
is not without excuse. Corn failed to adj
vance correspondence, though the exports
were 100000. against 2.275 ,043 last year. the
aggregate since July having been I7S 000.-
600 bushels larger than ever before to date

The accumulated impurities in the
blood cause very different symptoms
with some people. The kidneys,

their efforts to relieve the clogged

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-To-day's further de-
cline in stocks undoubtedly reflected condi-
ton of real apprehension in the minds of hold
ers of securities to the developments in the
Cuban question. Commission houses orders to
sell were in large volume even at the opening
and these soon swept away the advances over
Mondays level which had been deliberately
arranged by the of the cable to establish
g higher range of prices in London over the
holiday There was professional buying here
at the opening designed for the same end, but
not even the first quotations up to the
London parity. Gains were speedily wiped out
by the slump which followed the abandonment
Of the professional attempt to sustain prices.
The uncovering Of margins and selling orders
to stop losses brought flood of stocks on the
market. Sugar led the break with decline of
over points after the rise of a point and
fuctuated feverishly all day, closing near the
lowest at extreme decline of over points
The local specialties were also centers of weak
ness Metropolitan losing Z points Great

buying in this market for London account
Estimates OF the volume of this buying ran as
high $4,000 shares of stock. The London
market and the Continental exchanges showed
an improved tone on the subsistence OF appre-
hension regarding the West African situation
but there was significant decline in London
and Paris in the Spanish As. the closing price
in London showing loss of 81 as compared
with Mondays closing. The weakness in the
stocks which were the favorites in the London
buying deferred until later in the day but
they ultimately succcumbed along with the
rest OF the list. In fact. the weakness of these
stocks in the afternoon after the sustaining
force of the London buying had been with
drawn contributed to the financial break in the
market. The days net losses exceeded points
in only a few of the standard stocks, but were
over points in some of the specialties
