REVIEW OF THE MARKETS.
CONDITION OF GENERAL TRADE
DURING THE PAST WEEK.

savannah, Sept 9-The general whole
sale markets were particularly active dur
.ng the latter part of the past week. Mail
orders mad been delayed for over week
and shipping had been retarded by the
washouts on the railroads, but as soon as
communication was established with the
interior the business was resumed. The
only features in the wholesale depart
pnents during the week were a decline on
corn and an advance on sugar. The cot
ton market, after remaining quiet until
the last of the week, steadied and ad-
yanced Thursday under the influence of
&. stronger demand and higher prices at
Liverpool, but that demand slackened to-
day. There was a strong demand for spir-
its turpentine, the market advancing
steadily. The receipts were light, owing
to the inability to get the product to the
lailroads and the delay of the railroads,
caused by washouts The rosin market
was firm, with good demand. The lum-
Der business was almost at a standstill. The
heavy rains delayed shipments from the
interior and the non-arrival of several YES
sells which were bound here, but were lost
IN the storm, curtaied the movement of
the Savannah stock. Securities We're firm
and desirable issues were difficult to OBJ
lain The following resume of the differ
ent markets will show the tone and the

A MERRIMAC HERO
Seeking Admission to the Annapolis
Academy

DIES MONIES, Ia, Nov. 1.-THE Grant
club ol this city banqueted Osborne w.
Deignan of the Aierrimac crew this evening.
He left Stuart on his return to the Reso-
lutte at Brooklyn today. When he arrived
here at 5 o'clock this evening he was hur-
ried through the crowd to the clubhouse,
where public reception was held. Colonel
L. c. Pratt, president of the club, intro
duced him. After the banquet the feature
of the evening was the introduction of a
memorial to congress by Hon. John Her
riott of Stuart, treasurer of the state. The
preamble to this memorial calls attention
to the recognition which the Merrimac's 5
crew has been given and says thatit is. oH
special pride to Iowans that the man who
steered the Merrimac was an Iowa boy. 1t
then states that it is Deignan's desire to
enter the naval academy at Annapolis, but
he is prevented by age requirements. The
resolution then asks members of congress
to pass a special act to permit Deignan to
enter the academy. The resolution was re-
ceived and adopted with cheers. Short and
appropriate speeches were made. Instead
of making a speech Deignan produced the
boatswain's whistle which he used on the
Merrimac, and after he had given examples
OF the signals used he presented it to the
club. Deignan left at 9:35 p. m. on the
Rock Island, an immense crowd following
him to the depot.

for Spain to Accept the Offer Made-Com-
ment of the Foreign Press

a precis, had declared that the Spanish gov.
crnment might accept that as an exact state
ment of the demands of the United States.
Having made the document, the President
believes himself to be the person best com.
petent to construe its meaning, and the
American Commissioners are consequently
acting in conformity with his views.
Inasmuch the Spanish are making most
strenuous efforts to assert their sovereignty
over the Philippines, all based upon the use
of the work disposition instead of "pos.
session" in that part of the protocol rs.
iating to the future of the Philippines, il
may be stated that the American commits.
sioners have been obliged to call attention
20 the fact that NJ. Cambon, who acted for
he Spanish government in arranging the
protocol, declared positively that the
change, which was made at his instance,
amounted to nothing, was of no significance
in English or as affecting the object aimed
at but was made merely because it sounded
better in Spanish and would not be hu.
initiating to the Spanish. Consequently the
American commissioners could not for an
instant think of allowing the sincerity Of
the French Ambassador to be drawn into
question.

the house has called a meeting of the sub
committee on deficiencies to meet Saturday,
November 26, to consider the estimates for
the maintenance of the extraordinary ex-
penses of the army and navy during the
period from January l, 1899 to July |, 1899.
1t will be necessary to frame and enact an
urgent deficiency bill to provide for these
expenditures before the holiday recess as
the balance of $226, ,O0O, 900 and the original
S5O,O0O,OOO appropriated to carry on the war
after December 81. Whatever remains of
these appropriations must be covered back
into the treasury on that date How much
has been expended is not known, but the
presumption is that there is considerable
balance, as the appropriations were esti.
mated to cover the pay account for the full
complement of 234, 900 soldiers, provided for
in the two calls of the president, and also
for the temporary increase in the regular
army. Neither the volunteers nor the reg
ulars were enlisted up to their full strength.
and many thousands of the former have
been mustered out of the service.

The President Pleased

WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-THE admins
tration feels encouraged over the outlook
for successful termination of the labors
of the Peace Commissioners in Paris. Wheth-
er the renewed confidence is based upon an
abstract of the Spanish reply which was
submitted at yesterdays meeting, or is
founded upon private advices, indicating a
weakening of the Spanish position, is not
known. but it is probable that both of these
had an influence in Frightening the pros
poets. The Spanish reply was no surprise
to the American Commissioners, who in
fact had prepared themselves in advance
with instructions received directly from
the President and Secretary Hay Tor com
plete answer. Still, ii was probably re-
garded as better policy and more in accord
with the amenities of official exchange that
the Americans should do the Spanish com
missioners the courtesy of giving deliberate
written argument. But with all due intent
to give proper weight to the Spanish repre-
sentations, it must be said that up to this
point they have had very little effect in
influencing the American commissioners,
not because of any obstinate disregard of
facts on their part, but for the simple rea-
son that almost every one of the points
made by the Spanish commissioners has
been anticipated in the preparation of the
American case, no small tribute to the acu-
men and diligence of Judge Day and Sec
retary John Moore.
The attempt of the Spaniards to induce
the Americans to accept their construction
of the meaning of the protocol, where it
touches on the Philippines, has been fiat
failure. The President himself was party
to the preparation of the protocol 1t was
he, who, suspecting purpose of the Spanish
side to becloud the issue and leave open a
door for future escape from the consequences
of the war, had swept aside as so much chaff
the message of the Spanish President, Duke
Almodovar de Rios, and reducing the de-
mands of the United States to what is called

JAPAN'S MINISTER
Has Nothing to Say About Philippine
Annexation

CHICAGO, Nov. IA luncheon was
given to Mr.. Komura, the new japanese
minister, today at the Union League club,
it being attended by fifty of the leading
business men of the city. Mr.. Komura
made neat speech regarding the friendly
relations existing between Japan and the
United States. The other speakers were
Senator Mason, Congressman Boutelle, who
was classmate at Harvard with Mr.. Ko-
mura, and the japanese consul, Mr.. Nosse.
Mr.. Komura was asked after the luncheon
how Japan regarded the prospect Of Amer
lean possession Of the Philippines.
''You have them," he said with a smile
and shrug of his shoulders. what can
Spain do to take them away from you?
Japan has been neutral. What can Japan
do now but be satisfied"
In the evening Mr.. Komura was the
guest of honor at the banquet given by the
members of the consular corps in Chicago
at the Grand Pacific hotel. Charles Hen
rotin, the Turkish consul, presided. There
were no set speeches and only the various
consuls, about twenty in number, were pres
ent.

Press Special Wire

PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE clerical force of
the American Peace Commission was busy
nearly all night in translating the Spanish
memorandum presented at yesterdays joint
session. While the translators and type
writers were rendering the Spanish argu-
ment into printed English, counsel for the
American Commission studied it sheet by
sheet, making notes of records to be ex-
amined and of law points bearing on the
matter in hand. As result, when the
Americans gathered for the daily session to-
day, the Spanish presentment lay before
them in English, ready for consideration
and accompanied by data bearing upon it.
No unofficial person knows the contents Of
the document presented by the Spanisi
Commissioners yesterday, but it is safe to
assume that added to her insistence on the
reservation of her Philippine sovereignty
and her proposition to arbitrate the con-
struction of the third article of the protocol,
Spain has made two other important state
ments:
First-That on the high ground of finan-
cial probity she cannot allow any discus
sion here of the validity of her action in
pledging the resources of the Philippines
for the payment of the Philippine debt.
Second-That in connection with the
American proposal to reimburse Spain for
her pacific expenditures in the Philippines,
she cannot admit of any inquiry as to how
she spent the proceeds of the loans based
on the Philippine pledges.
If Spain has assumed this attitude, and it
is believed she has done SO, she practically
compels the American commissioners to con-
slider at least the entire Philippine debt and
its assumption by the United States or the
Philippine Islands as a condition to Spain S
amable surrender of her sovereignty over
these islands.
1t is difficult to understand how the
Americans can reply to this in any other
manner than by strictly outlining their po-
sition and giving the Spaniards time limit
in which to accept the propositions of the
United States. But the American commits
sioners may patiently continue their epdeav-
ors to arrive at an amicable understanding
on the subject.
