EFFECT OF WAR ON TRADE.
Conditions Are Being shaped to the New
Order of Things-Prices Higher.

New York. April 23.-Bradstreets
says: While there is reported a fur
ther quieting of distributve trade in
some lines at the east and south, trace
able almost directly to anticipated war
like conditions, there is lack of regu-
larity even in the reports from those
centers which serves to show that, now
that the uncertainty so long prevailing
as to war has been dispelled trade con-
ditions are being shaped to the new or
der of things. There is consequently
greatly increased activity in many spe-
cial lines at the seaboard, accompanied
by excited markets and heavy price ad-
vances. While trade in the interior
sympathzes to a certain extent with
this price movement there is still a
perceptibly good trade reported entirely
outside of this. which serves to prove
that the prospect of war has not had
nearly as much eeffct inland in it has
had on the coast.
In commercial lines this week much
interest and activity has been mani
tested in the speculative and actual de-
mand for leading staples, such as
wheat corn, oats, flour, coffee, sugar,
most pork products and cotton. The
advances in coffee, sugar and rice are
directly traceable TO war influences.
Careful search among the quotations
for staple products fails to reveal any
important decline outside of a fraction
al marking down of steel billets at
some markets
There were 224 business failures in

In the fleets there was some excite

ber OF prizes to date by Admiral Samp-

At Fort Monroe the speedy ships Min

urday night In the teeth Of a gale What
their mission was nobody except the
navy officials knows, and anybody is
competent to speculate thereon.
The story Of the loss of the Topeka
proves untrue. as the vessel in collision
with the Albatross has arrived safely in
port.
Saturday there was an exciting scene
afioat with the blockaders. A vessel
was seen standing in for the shore and
the New York with other vessels imme-
diately started for her. She was soon
made out to be a warship and believed

for a fight, believing her TO be the Viz

was made out. A few minutes later she
began firing a salute of fifteen guns and
proved 10 be the Italian cruiser Giovan-
nj Bausan, bound for Havana This
ended the incident, and she proceeded
for the harbor after her salute had been
returned
The firing on the Spanish merchant
man Buena Ventura in advance Of a
formal declaration of war has raised a
very interesting point which is being
debated in the diplomatic corps. The
owners of the vessel in New York have
announced their intention TO appeal,
and it is not improbable that vigor-
Gus demand for redress from this gov
ernment may be prosecuted. They have
notified the French embassy here
through the French consul at New
York of protest against the firing up
on and seizure of their vessel and the
French embassy in this city expects to
receive a formal protest from them for
submission to the state department.
Some members of the diplomatic corps
say they believe the vessel will be
promptly released by this government.

ATTACK ON wOODFORD's TRAIN.
Our Minister Has Two Kinds Of Trouble
Getting Out of Spain.

Bayonne, France, April 23.-General
Woodford, the United States minister
to Spain, arrived here yesterday after
noon after exciting experiences at Sc
govia and Valladolid Spain. The Sc
govia incident was comparatively un-
important The students of the military
school, in full uniform, packed the
depot. They were silent until the train
started, when there were enthusiastic
outbursts of cheering for Spain and
Cuba. The Valladolid affair however,
threatened to be quite serious. Thou
sands of excited people attempted to in
wade the railroad station, and the twen-
ty civil guards who accompanied the
train were compelled TO form up in
front of General Wodford's carriage
with drawn swords, while other civil
guards Of the local force issued from the
depot TO protect the train. The mob
showered stones on the cars, shattering
the windows.
General Woodford knew nothing OF
the disturbances until he reached To-
losa. There a sergeant of the civil
guard, accompanied by private,
boarded the train and demanded that
Joaquin Moreno disembark from the
car. James, the generals valet, there
upon awakened the general, who hur-
riedly dressed while matters were being
explained to him. The general then
formally protested against tn attempt
ed interference with his suite declar
ing that Moreno was his private sec
retary and a British subject.
The Spaniards claimed that he was a
Spani5h subject, but the general re-
fused TO give him up to the police and
placed himself in the doorway Of the
compartment in which Moreno was
travelling, declaring he would only sur
render the latter if forced to do so. The
minister then explained TO the Span
iards that he had placed Moreno under
the protection Of the British flag, and
that if they took him it would only be
by using personal violence to the United
States minister, who proposed to pro-
tect Moreno until the frontier was
crossed

Saturday called upon the people OF the
United States for the first time in thirty
years to manifest their martial
strength. He asks for 1885, 900 men, who
will be concentrated at Washington.
Richmond and Atlanta, where they will
be held until they are properly trained
and disciplined. 1t is understood that
Fitzhugh Lee will have a major gen

troops the following are five state
quotas: Illinois, 6.6OS; Indiana, 4,4O2:
Iowa, 3,772; Michigan, 1865; Wisconsin,
1924. Another important act Saturday
was the creation of a new regular army
corps, which means that Cuba will be
invaded by the regulars very soon.
The house passed the Hull army re-
organization bill, which increases the
regular army to 6l 900 enlisted men and
permits the use of the National Guard
as organized. while it modernizes the
regular army. In anticipation of the
presidents call vast number of letters
and kilograms have begun TO flow in
upon Secretary Alger offering the SER
vices of the senders as volunteers in
the army. So numerous are these COM
munications that the secretary has
asked the press to notify the people
that such communications should be di-
