This cut illustrates the famous 'tCRESCO
CORSET" the corset that cannot possibly
break at the waist. The tCresco" COM
blnes all the good features of other good
corsets, and has this distinct feature of it's
own, which corset makers have been try
ing vainly for years to embody: by
smoothly adjusted disconnection at the
front waist line it cannot break. Not
woman in this community but will hail
with delight a corset from which this
annoying and expensive weakness has
been removed. You are cordially invited
to visit our store and examine the s'Cresco''

''Cresco" ITS any form, and insures ease
and comfort to the wearer.

New York, March 1.-stocks to-day
again opened up and then worked lower
with some rallies. Dealings were on ratI-
er less extensive scale than Of late.
The specaltes displayed extreme irresu-
larity and the standard stocks showed
weakness most of the day. The opauing
rise was associated with the more Ia
! vorable aspect of the Philippine situation,
due to Germanys withdrawal of her
cruisers. supposedly lessening the chance
of complications.

preferred and Burlington had an early
| appearance of strength, but large vol
| ume of selling orders appeared, which
rightly or wrongly, were attributed to
some of the leading bull interests that had
been conspicuous purchasers for two
months. The same interests appeared to
be sellers of the standard stocks. AS the
market ran off stop-loss orders were
reached in some cases, while London was
a source of support taking about 10000
shares on balance. The effect of this
purchasing was reflected in a weaker tone
for sterling exchange.
Prices after the extreme decline rose on
moderate dealings, and then wavered up
ward and downward in a sluggish man
ner. there appearing little pressure of Of
ferings or urgent demands. The special
ties which were conspicuous on the mi
tial advance were about equally promi-
nent on the decline. Among the high

control of trading most of the day, and

of the day.

New York. March IA dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says: 1t is re-
ported here that Spain authorized Gen
eral Rios to offer the Filipino govern
ment $36, 500 to release Spanish prison.
ers. The offer was Indignantly de-
clined and the insurgents asked $7,000,-
000 General Rios threatened to expose
the Philippine republic as a lawless set
of bandits, whose idea of government
is the destruction of life and property
if they refused to accept his condition
for the release of the prisoners. Senior
Flores and Senior Torres conveyed Rios
message to Aguinaldo's government.
The reports that the rebels are offer
ing to treat for peace are untrue.
About 20 English subjects, including
some women and children, are within
the rebels lines north of Manila. Moth

Material Reductions.

Washington, March 1.-The naval ap-
preparation bill as reported to the senate
provides for material reduction OF the
public increases of the navy giving two
seagoing line battleships instead of
three, two armored cruisers instead of
three and four protected cruisers instead
of six.
The house price OF armor plate. $4i5 per
ton, is not changed. A provision is in
serted to the effect that no more than two
of the vessels authorized can be con-
structod in any one yard.
The bill as reported carries a total ap-
preparation of 500. 2ai 900. or an increase
over the amount appropriated by the
house amounting To S. 23S.S31. The princi-
pal items of increase follow: Eight hun
dred thousand dollars for dry docks, ST.
la1,30G for the marine corps, S375,000 for
the Brooklyn navy yard and $3.50 600 for a
steam engineering plant for the Brooklyn
yard
A provision of the act of last session
docks is modified so as to allow the secre-
tary of the navy to contract for the con-
structon of four docks named to be built
of granite, the limit of cost in each case
to be fixed at 81 100000. The provision
makes an immediate additional appropri-
alton of 100000. The amount of $500 900
appropriat ted by the house bill toward the
equipment of the new vessels is increased
to Si00. 600.
The appropriations committee has also

CHICAGO MARKETS.



Chicago, March. 1.-Wheat started
about where 1t left off yesterday, but the
tendency was rather downward for an
hour or so. The early news brought COM
fort to both bulls and bears. The former
were encouraged by the tirmness of for
eign markets. bad crop reports and di-
minishng domestic receipts. The latter
were consoled by rains in California.
where drought had existed and the wealth
err throughout the winter wheat country
being less severely cold than had been
expected.
The estimate of wheat in farmers hands
March l made the quantity 216,000. 900
bushels, and the market became weak on
that announcement. 1t had been acting
heavily. however, since the opening New
York reported very little inquiry for ex-
port.
May opened a shade higher at 73Ac, and
declined to 73A@73ssc. 1t reached its low
point on the estimate. The shorts did the
selling. and when they held their hand a
few minutes the price bobbed up again to
1880 and closed with sellers at 1890, a
loss of Ad$sc.
Light receipts and heavy clearances held
corn steady within narrow range. May
left off unchanged.
Oats were dull and followed corn. The
close was unchanged.

Boston. March 1.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say: The wool
market has moved along at about the
same pace that previously characterized
it A few large manufacturers have been
seen. but nothing of a noteworthy nature
seems to have resulted from these in
qures. Prices are steady. Low woods
are the vogue now and many persons are
of the opinion that they will continue to
be in relatively strong demand for very
considerable period. We have 1t on the
authority Of well-known retailers that
cheyiots and ladies' dress goods are like
ly next year to be made very largely of
low woods Large sales of carpet woods
were a feature of the weeks business.
The receipts in Boston were S,231, 600
hounds, against 3,59S00O pounds for the
nrevinus week and 1898 900 pounds for the
corresponding week of 1898. Since Jan. l
sales have been So, 4S0.50o pounds against
81. 49,, 4S0 pounds in 1898.

Have Agreed.

Washington, March 1.-The conferees of
the two houses on the navy personnel bill
have reached an agreement on the points
of difference. AS agreed upon, the bill
retains the principal features of the Hull
bill, including the provisions for the ANAL
gamation of the line and the engineer
corps, for increased pay, for promotion
and for the Improvement of the marine
corps. The senate provision for six
year course at Annapolis, as under the
present law. is retained, the house reced-
ing from its demand to limit the course to
four years.
The senate provision making a differ
ence of ID per cent. between sea pay and
shore pay also remains in the bill. The
agreement does away with 40 appoint
ments from civil life. 1t also leaves out
the judge advocate corps, which has been
open to difference.

San Francisco. March lit is ru-
mored that the Santa Fe has secured
control of the California & Nevada
road in order to esta blsh the terminal
that will afford more easy means of
access to San Francisco than could be
secured by the transcontinental line at
Port Richmond. The Santa Fe, by ac-
curing the right of way Of the Cali
fornia & Nevada line to Emeryville,
would practically have a right of way
into Oakland. At present the little line
which it is rumored has passed into the
control of the Santa Fe. has tracks laid
to point 80 miles from Oakland. Ex-
tensive repairs are now being made and
there is talk of extending the road to
Mount Diablo. This road is now in the
hands of a receiver. having been thrown
there by C. H. Smith of Denver. the
owner of nearly all the bonds of the
line.

little or no rain has fallen since the

CHINA NEEDS ANOTHER LESSON.

HOSTILITY TO FOREIGNERS CREATING AN IN
TOLERABLE SITUATION.
Peking, April 23.-The reactionary attitude Of
the Chinese Government toward foreigners is
creating for them an ntolerable situation which
cannot be prolonged.
Promises made by the Tsung Yamen (Chi-
nese Foreign Office) are Of no value unless ap-
proved by the Grand Council. a majority Of
whose members are bitterly hostile TO foreign
ers and foreign influences. Unless some change
takes place soon 1t is believed the Powers will
demonstrate directly TO the Empress Dowager
AS an illustration Of the Ignorance OF the
Grand Council. that body has just given Its
enthusiastic approval to q new invention by the
general commanding the troops in the Province
Of Pe-Chi-Li. General Kangou-a sharp, shovel
shaped weapon, capable of decapitatng an
enemy at a single blow.
There seems little likelihood that Ii Hung
Chang will return to power
