Dewey's Victory Produced a Re-
vival of Trade.
PRICES FAVE ADVANCED
AN EXPECTATION THAT WAR
WILL SOON END.
General Condition of Business Has
Been Materially Inproved-Dew-
ey's Fleet Has Given Work to
Observation-Disclosures Rise In
Wheat the Feature of the Week.

New York, May 6.-R. G. Dun & Cos.
weekly review of trade will say to-
morrow: A state of war was so greatly
dreaded by those who have seen moth
ing like it for more than 80 years-that
its coming has hurt less than its APP
p1ehensions. Especially since the vic
tory at Manila. which indicated the SUI
periority of the American navy, gun
for gun, expectations that the war will
not last long has influenced all mar
kets, and stocks have advanced, the
average of prices for railroads 1910 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 to thou
sands of people of whom they know
nothing, and has placed all American
industries and interests on stronger
footing for any conceivable future. The
fact that gold is now used almost ex-
clusively between the treasury and the
clearing house, indicates the entire free
dom from apprehension about the cur
rency or public credit.
The most sensational of all changes,
and the most practically important, has
been the rise in wheat-13 cents during
one days session 2112 cents from Tues
Gay to Thursday night, and 251a cents
for the week, throwing into the shade
all past advances and all expectations,
though reaction of 112 cents naturally
followed on Friday. Exports have not
teen checked by higher prices as yet.
The remarkable rise of Thursday was
largely due to the removal of duties by
France, and to the cessation of eX-
Icrts by Russia. both showing extraor-
binary needs abroad, so that the rise of
251a cents for the week is not without
excuse.
Industries have received a wonderful
stimulus from the conviction that hos
tilities will not last long, and from
heavy government orders
Besides great demand for steel plates
and other iron products and ammuni-
ton, the government has ordered $780,
900 yards of wooden cloths, 125, 900 blan-
kets, 100000 yards cotton goods, and
great quantities of provisions and other
supplies, and meanwhile reviving con-
fidence has multiplied other demands.
1t is not due to domestic conditions
that orders of the Russian government
for two big warships have been taken
by the Cramps, and orders for rails
from Mexico have given a good start
to the rebuilt Colorado works
Wool has declined about half a cent
in April, taking the average of 100 quo
tations by Coates Bros, and the better
demand for goods has caused more in
curry, but thus far no Improvement in
prices.
Failures for the week have been 23S
in the United States, against 221 last
year, and % in Canada, against IS last
year.

CALI OF LISTED STOCKS.
The National tribune., 1898-04-07

The authorities of the city did their best
today to protect both strangers and citizens,
and to prevent a collision, but in vain; and,
but for their great efforts, a fearful slaughter
would have occurred.
Under these circumstances. it is my solemn
duty to inform YOU that it is not possible for
more soldiers to pass through Baltimore,
unless they fight their way at every step. j,
therefore, hope and trust, and most earnestly
request. that no more troops be permitted or
ordered by the Government to pass through
the city If they should attempt it, the
responsibility for the bloodshed will not
rest upon me.
The committee telegrapbed back the
following message:
WASHINGTON, April 90. 1861.
To MAYOR BRowN, Baltimore We have
seen the President and Gen. Scott. We bear
from the former letter TO the Mayor and
Governor declaring that no troops shall be
brought through Baltimore, ii, in a military
point of view, without opposition, they can
be marched around Baltimore.
H. l.. BOND, j. c. BRuNE, GEO. W. DoBBIN.
The President Of the Baltimore d
Ohio Railroad had already responded
TO a similar message as follows:
GENTLEMEN: | have the honor 10 acknowl-
edge the receipt of your communication of
this date, in which you advise that the troops
now here be sent back to the borders of
Maryland" Most cordially approving this
advice, l have just telegraphed the same to
the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore
Railroad Company, and this company will
act in accordance Herewith.
j. w. GARRETT, President.
The National tribune., 1898-04-07
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON c., THURSDAY,

Hicks being no longer in the city,
Mayor Brown, on further conference,
went without him, taking three friends
whereof, at least two were ardent
Secessionists-to bear him company.
They reached Washington at 10 a.
M, and were admitted to an immediate
interview with the President, attended
by the Cabinet and Gen. Scott. Mr..
Lincoln urged, with abundant reason,
that he had no choice between bringing
troops through Maryland and surrender
ing the Capital to armed treason. He
finally appealed to Gen. Scott, who gave
his military opinion that troops might
be brought through Maryland by way
of Annapolis or the Relay House with
out passing through Baltimore.
The Mayor dilated on the fearful ex-
element of the Baltimoreans and the
impossibility of his answering for the
consequences if more Northern troops
should appear in that city. He adroitly
added that his jurisdiction was confined
to the city, and that he could make no
promises as to the behavior of the Mary
landers on either side of it.
In his official report of the interview,
Mr.. Brown says:
The Mayor and his companions avaied
themselves of the Presidents full discussion
OF the questions of the day TO urge upon him
respectfully, but in the most earnest manner,

resort There is a saving that "a man is
what he eats and it comes near being
absolutely true. Surely nothing could sug-
gest more strikingly the bad alimentary
state of these people than their actual de
pendence upon such food as this.
Another, yet very different, kind OF nutri-
ment is found in the Iamantin, called
peixe-boi, or ox-fish, by Brazilian Portu-
guesc, because its broad nose resembles
an ox's muzzle. But this creature is no
more a fish than the animal from whom
it name has been taken. 1t represents a
branch of the same family to which whales,
seals, and other warm-blOCded marine
species belong, although its nearest rela-
ton on this continent-the Pacific mana
tee-iS extinct, and the South American
fresh water lamantins are the only sur
viving representatives OF that recently
numerous group
They are sluggish unsightIy beasts; their
huge bodies lock as if nature had left
them in an unfinished condition. They
go pOtteTlng about river shores where reed
grass or wild rice grows luxuriantly, hav-
ing seemingly bat d single object in life,
namely, that of eating and growing fat. No
one will see lamantin doing anything but
eat or sleep. We never read or heard of
conflicts between them, rivalries on any
account, or an exhibition OF those quail
ties which actuate all animals to a greater
or less degree, and must find some express
sion in action.
Nothing alive can be more incapable of
giving offense than nanatee. Beyond
the fact that its ability to swim and dive
may be regarded means for protection,
this large and highly organized animal is
entirely without defense against its enc
mics. OF these man is first IN importance
Ox-fish flesh is succulent, tasting much
like fresh pork, and "a single individual
will furnish SO large an amount that ma
tiveS on all branches OF the AmazOns
naturally look upon the lamantin as one
of their most valuable prizes.
There is no difficulty about stalking
such a creature as this when its where
abouts becomes known, and it is easily
killed by the rifle. Firearms are, how
ever, not plentiful among Brazilian tribes;
those which they do possess are old
fashioned and inefficient, while the diff
Guilty of procuring ammunition in these
remote and isolated regions is, generally
speaking, insuperable. Savage hunters,
therefore, rely upon their bows, lances,
and harpOons that make a man
aztec chase more arduous and exciting than
would otherwise be the case, since this
beasts bulk and power enable 1t TO offer a
prOtracted and desperate resistance, even
if it be incapable except by accident, of
doing its assailants any harm.
We did not learn that these animals
were attacked with bows or lanceS from
the shore; and. indeed, this would seem to
to be an utterly useless piece Of cruelty;
for it is hardly possible that a manatee
failing that, tt would almost certainly get
away, perhaps to- die useleSSly.
HarpoonS are the only weapons that
can be used effectually without canoes,
and if a long and strong enough line is at
tached TO these Implements they Will hold
