Morley asked the country To realize
the prrdicamcnt 10 which il had been
brought 10y unhappy diplomacy and
the bedlamite counSclS of the war press
and the war party. If" said Morley.
president Kruger had accepted the
franchise proposal of Sept. =. with re-
lance upon the convention of 1881 he
would have been planted behind dip

Morley dwelt upon the moderation
and reaSOnablenrSS of the recent
speech of the Duke of DevOnShirc
which proved that Great Britain did
not desire To interfere with the Trans
walls independence. The speaker said
he had always pressed the urgency of
the TranSVaHl meeting Great Britain
half way. He regretted the withdraw
al of the five years franchise. but con
dcmncd Great Britain for now aban-
doning the franchise. which had hith-
crto been the foundation of the gov

eventual danger Of having mt the back
of strategic post like the Cape Il dis
affected population held down by force
of arms, and said he failed To see why

unable to come L. terms. Morley spoke

The Iron Trade Review

Cleveland, Ohio, February 21.-The Iron Trade Review in It's issue of this week VIII say:
 The present market week has been one of sensation and excitement. It has shown more plainly than any other that the pres ent upward movement in the iron trade IS to assume all the phase and proportions or a boom A jump of nearly $2 ton Ill steei billets, caused by sales Of I,Voo tons at Pittsburg, and Bessemer pig iron going to $12, Valley Furnace at single bound, on sales of 40000 tons to the Carnegie Steel company, limited. are startling evidences of the possibilities of the situation. It IS to be considered that such prices have been secured on a comparatively small tonnage, and that mills and furnaces are shipping and will continue for some time to ship product sold far below this basis; but this is the market today, and every such ad- vance will do It's part in establishing the figures on which the business Of the second half of the year is done.
 Details of consolidation movements have been actively worked upon the week. It Is announced that the National Steel com pany's $5o,O00, 900 capital will be $22,OO0oOo preferred and BPS OO0,OOO common, and allot- ments of underwriting are being made, subscriptions being double the capital An important development in connection with the plans for ore supply which the large interests are pushing Is a deal for the pur- chase of the Lake Superior Iron company. the old Marquette Range company, which has taken out more In the past forty years than any Lake Superior Interest. and has large and well developed reserves.
 Another deal closed is the purchase by the Cleveland Rolling Mill company, for the wire combine, of the Emma Furnace, of Cleveland adding 10000 tons year to- the American Steel and Wire company's pig iron supply
 There Is additional evidence in most fin- ished products of the demand that will come with the opening of the active sea- son, which will find the mills quite incapa- ble of furnishing material as 1t is wanted.

Cotton Letter

By Leased Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agent.
 Birmingham, February A.-The decline in Liverpool cotton today of 1-S2 for spots and futures caused general selling here this morning and a decline of points. The selling pressure subsided and continued buying for local and New Orleans opera tors forced a recovery of about points. The small demand for spot cotton on the Liverpool market and the expectation of increasing receipts caused liquidation sales in Liverpool and indisposition to buy. Port receipts today were about 16,ooo bales, pointing to about 5000 to s5,O00 bales for the week. We will not be surprised to see a small upland crop, unless weather conditions change materially.

Paine. Murphy 6 Co.'S Grain Better

By Private Wire to Payne, Murphy & Co.
 Birmingham, February H.--Trade today was small and of a local character mostly to even up over the holiday. The news from western sections has been conflicting this week, but no material damage report ed as yet though the weather predictions fearing a freeze caused some covering. Europeans are disinclined to buy or en- courage advances while our receipts con- tinue ahead of last year. Bradstreet's re- ports worlds stocks decreased one and one half million bushels. Sell wheat on bulgcs. Corn sustained by covering and smaller re- ceipts as the advance In freight rates has checked the demand and the late receipts have been mostly new corn and of poor acreage quality. Provisions have ruled quiet and steadier owing to covering bear sales. The free arrival of hogs and in- creasing stock of the product believed to have liquidated speculative holding. and put the market in condition to respond to any favorable news.
