BRADsTREET's REVIEW

New York, May 19.-Bradstreets tomor-
row will say:
The feature of the trade situation this
week is the renewed strength of wheat and
other cereals, iron and steel, and last, but
not least, raw wool, which has heretofore
Jagged behind other staples in a discour-
aging way. The price making features in
cereals are not entirely of an encoura cling
character, being chiefly the less favorable
reports as to the growing crop west and
northwest and advices of insect damage in
huencing western markets toward higher
plane in face of discouragingly short bus
mess, caused In some degree by the con-
tinuance of the strike of grain handlers at
Buffalo, checking the movement of large
quantities of grain to the seaboard
The added strength in corn is based large
~ upon heavy buying of pig In the CEN
trail west, sympathetically influencing prices
at all markets. Reports are of old and new
furnaces going into blast, but these advices
and the new plants projected to be built
apparently do not reassure consumers, who
are beginning to place orers for the first
part of next year at present prices.
Excitement in iron is not confined entire
ly to this country, however, as shown by a
speculative advance at the leading British
markets, but a sample of the irregula rity
caused by the immense current worlds de-
mand is furnished in the case of foreigners
seeking supplies in this country at the same
that orders for rails have been placed by
American companies with English makers
? Foreign wool markets continue above
American heavy sales of Australian woods
for re-export are reported and available
supplies of this class of wool are nearly
exhausted at Boston.
Aside from the exceptions noted the tend
ency is toward steadiness in prices, most
provisions. coffee and sugar among grocer
les, lead and copper among metals and cot
ton of various manufactures among textiles
are all reported unchanged on the week.
Speculation in cotton lags, notwithstand-
ing good trade advices a home and abroad
and rather less favorable crop reports
Lumber continues in excellent demand
Building activity is widespread, prices hold
all their old advances and the tendency is
apparently still upward. Refined sugar is

citizens Support strlkers

Wheeling. w. Va, May Bone of the
most peculiar strikes probably ever con-
tested in the United States has been in
progress for five weeks on the Wheeling
street car lines. The remarkable feature
of the contest is the unanimity of the
support of the strikers by the population
of Wheeling and surrounding towns. The
men struck for 20 cents an hour with nine
hours a days work. All the cars are in
operation and the company is not having
any trouble to run them. 1t is estimated
however, that not over five persons ride
on their entire system during the day.
Bus lines run by the strikers are largely
patronized.

NOT WORRYING
OYER RAINY SEASON
War Department Officials Claim
There is No Danger.
YELLOW FEVER is UNKNOWN
And the sickly Season Will Cause In
surgents as Much inconvenience
as Americans-Burns Coming
to Senate from California

Washington, May 19.-(SpeciaL)- dis
patches at the war department seem to in
dictate that the rainy season. has begun
in the Philippines, for General Otis men
lions in one of his recent dispatches that
General Lawton's movements had been
interfered with to some extent by heavy
rains which interrupted communication
and hindered the movements of his army.
But the advent of the "rainy season" in
the Philippines does not frighten the war
department to any great extent for the
officials insist that this period will not be
as productive of the disastrous results
many people assume and consequently the
officers view it's arrival with very slight
concern.
The approach of the "rainy season" has
been a favorite with the anti-expansionists
VINO desired to conjure up all sorts Of
horrible things to occur during its dura-
ton and they have insisted that it would
mark the end of active military operations
in the Island of Luzon and inaugurate an
epidemic of disease that would be disas-
trous to the American army.
Advices received at the war department.
however, are to the effect that there Is
no comparison to be made between the
climate of the Philippines during the So
called rain season. there, and that of
Cuba under a similar period. Yellow fever
which devastated the American army in
front of Santiago last July, is compara-
lively unknown in the Philippines. Ty-
phoid and malarial fevers abound, but are
confined to the lowlands and swamps The
military advance of the American army
has passed over this part of the island
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-05-20

near Manila, and the active theater of war
is now in the mountains, where it is COM
paratiyely healthy, even during the rainy
season. The only bad result to be feared
to the American army from the heavy rains
at this season, is that 1t may not be able
to advance as rapidly as heretofore.
The American army, 1t is commended, will
suffer no more in this respect than the
insurgents, for it will be just as difficult
for them to retreat and fly to the mount
aims, in front of u.s. The war department
officials, however, appear to be entirely
satisfied with the condition of affairs in
the Philippines and do not believe that
the rainy season will iengthen the cam
paign there. They beiicre that the war
will soon be ended, for the latest advices
narrating the brilliant exploits of the SOL
diers under General Lawton and the dis
patch of peace commissioners to Manila,
has only served to increase this belief
There is no anxiety of inability to furnish

1t is reported that Chinaman

seven tons of beets per acre in 1898
near Pajaro, Cal. Mr. Waters, sup

and paid him IS ton for 329 tons

field was an example of an alb
solutely perfect crop in every re-
spect. He worked in it all the time,
virtually slept in it, and was per-
sonally acquainted with every beet.
There was not a missing space in
the whole field, as he replanted
wherever beets failed to come up,
and in few instances transplanted
new plants where the first stand did
not do we'll Not one weed was al

Feeding Green Oats.

Horses that are idle in the stable
or that have only light work may
be fed few green oats without in
jury. But they should on no ac-
count be given to horses that have
much work to do. Green oats will
give horse the scours more quick
ly than any other feed. The oat
hull irritates the intestines at its
best, and it therefore needs to be
thoroughly dried out before being
fed. If given it should have some
old timothy or meadow grass fed
with it.
