MONEY AND BUSINESS.

April casts into the shade all previous months
in the volume Of business transacted. Apart
from stock dealings and heavy payments in
completing new combinations the business at
New York represented by exchanges OF $2977
600 900 in two weeks would much surpass that of
any other halfmonth in history. being consider
ably more than double the exchanges for the
same two weeks In 1892 But outside New York
the payments In two weeks have been 81 533.
100000. over 30 per cent larger than last year,
and 1856 per cent larger than I'm 1892 Railroad
earnings show only part Of the gain. owing to
the small proportion of earnings derived from
the more costly goods distributed, which are of
small bulk and also to differences in rates be-
tween this and other years, but the earnings on
United States roads only were in March 6.2 per
cent larger than last year and 151 per cent
larger than in 1892, and in April thus far have
been relatively much larger than in March.
Monetary pressure and the fear OF it having
vanished, stocks move upward as II the collapse
of Friday the 9TH had been entirely a manipu-
lated dip for the purpose of shaking out weak
holders No doubt that purpose accounted for
most. though not for all. of It, The sixty most
active railway stocks averaged an advance last
week Of 81 "a share. but the street railways
gained from S11 25 to $40 30 a share. the COM
mon trust stocks gained relatively more, the
new SO AZ and the old 81 60 a share. and the
preferred trusts gained 81 cents share for
the older and 81 80 for the new, so that the
ratio of the various classes at the close April ID
to their highest average this year compares with
the lowest point on April I and the close on
April as follows:

The pouring in Of such An amount or Siper'a"
wheat chiefly of superior quality, Is causing
decentralization OF the market, depression OF
prices of Russian wheat and no little distress
among the Russian farmers, who are producers
OF n single crop as much as ever our cotton
planters were There is already cry for pro-
lection against Siberian competition, which can
not OF course be granted.
What the Russian Government can do, how
ever, and is now doing, is to assist the Russian
farmers by giving them more and better means
for getting their produce TO market II Ia spend
ing s9000,000 in laying new rails on the sine
rian road to carry the increasing traffic. AT the
same time 1t is devotng nearly twice that sum
to the building OF new roads and the better
equipment OF old ones In European Russia In
that way 1t will facilitate the export OF all grain
and agricultural produce. Moreover, 1t Is max
ing great ports on its northern coast, especially
on the Murman, and is connecting them with the
Siberian road Thus 1t will presently send the
Siberian wheat straight across Northern Russia
for export by way of North Sea routes, while
the Black Sea and Mediterranean trade will be
reserved for Southern Russia. In this way
there will be effected a great Improvement in
the trade conditions of the whole empire. There
will be. moreover, thrown into the markets of
the world, in competition with our own wheat
crops, an increasing volume of fine grain from
the virgin plains of Siberia. Ten years hence
we are likely to see some hundreds of millions
Of bushels Of Siberian wheat exported, partly
from the Murman coast and the Baltic and
partly from Talien-Wan and Vladivostok. That
will be one of the things which the Siberian
railroad will mean to the world

Work Of Hawaiian Rider ID
New Zealand.


In the sporting columns Of all the
New Zealand papers received by the
mail from the South yesterday, the
name OF Allan Jones. the Hawaiian
champion racing cyclist appears num-
erous times. Jones had not had any
training down there yet, but is doing
creditable work nevertheless. He rode
In some big events at Christchurch
and broke the third Of mile record
twice. In a two mile handicap, how
ever. he was pocketed and was unable
to get even a place. All speak In the
highest terms Of both his plugging and
sprinting The hard finishes Allan
makes are called brilliant. His appear
anse has greatly enlivened the interest
In cycling. In all the handicaps now
he Is placed scratch and Is considered
easily the fastest man that ever struck
the country. Jones will finish this
season In New Zealand and then go
to Australia, where the purses are
even heavier than the liberal ones in
New Zealand. Christchurch, says Mr..
Jones, is a town Of $4,000 but Is one OF
the deadest and dullest places on the
globe. Jones rides for Crozier & Dex-
ter and always wears the Hawaiian
colors.

WENT TO CHINA.
Why q "Jacky" Skipped From
Honolulu.
(Washington Star

(WaShlngtOn Star.)
Bluejackets attached to ships that
have departed from the United States
for Honolulu have often taken heavy
chances on getting into all kinds Of
trouble, civil and military, by Snug
Cling opium to the Hawaiian Islands.
Bluejackets on American ships man
aged to get many can OF the poppy
into Honolulu by secreting the stun
in ships hooks and sending 1t ashore
by the bumboatmen upon making the
Hawaiian port. A second-rate bosun's
mate on one Of the ships overdid this
business, however, a few years ago, by
taking on too much OF the contraband
opium when his ship left San Fran
cisco. The bumboatmen were helping
him to get the cans OF opium over the
side as rapidly as possible upon the
ships arrival at Honolulu harbor, but
meanwhile the commanding officer got
wind from one OF the opium-deali
sailors enemies of what was going on.
One afternoon, when the opium snug
gler was ashore. supervising the sale
OF the cans he had got over the side,
the inspecting officer OF the ship found
about thirty-fve half-pound cans of
opium slowed away behind the sailors
ditty bag In the wire lockers. The sail
or got wind Of what awaited him upon
his return to the ship, and he didn't
return. Instead, he shipped on Brit
ish vessel that was pulling out OF Ho-
nolulu on the same evening for Shang-
hal, and, with pOcketful Of profits
already made on his opium smuggling,
he was on his way to China before the
officers OF his warship knew what had
become of him.

SHAFTER ON CUBANS.
He Deems Them Entirely Unfit for
Self-Government.

Self-GOvernment.
SAVANNAH (Ga.), Dec. 1S--At the
banquet given by the officers of the
Third Georgia Regiment to Postmas-
Smith this afternoon Gen
eral Shafter had some interesting
things to say about Cuba and the Cub
ans. He did not make a speech, but
in a conservational way expressed him
self, his remarks being nominally ad-
dressed to Colonel Berner OF the Geor-
CLANS though they were intended for
the whole assemblage.
1T seems to me-" said General Shat
ter, that great many persons have
an erroneous idea respecting our re-
lations with the Cubans. As view II
We have taken SPANS war upon our
selves. We shall in all probability
hear a good deal more OF the insur-
gents"
How about self-government for the
Cubans?" General Shafter was asked
"Self-government." the General re.
peated. why, those people are nc
more At for self-government than gun
powder Is for"
In the same line General Shaftel
went on to tell why the United States
in his opinion, would be obliged to re
main in the island for some time an,
govern the territory by military force

BILL WITHDRAWN.
A Rest for an Important Act Relating
to Hawaii


to Hawaii.
WASHINGTON. Dec. lin the
House today Payne (R.) Of New York
called up the bill extending the laws
OF the United States relative to COM
merce, navigation and merchantmen
to the Hawaiian Islands.
McRae sought to have the bill
amended NO az to also extend to Ha-
wall the provisions of the act OF Feb
ruary "a, 1885. prohibiting the impor-
tation OF contract labor, but Payne
moved the previous question. This mo-
ton was lost, and McRae then intrs-
duced this amendment. He asserted
his conviction that the law concerning
contract labor was just az important
to the islanders as any other.
Payne then made the point that the
amendment was not in order, and II
was upheld.
The amendment was then laid on the
table. McRae asked for the ayes and
noes. and Payne, rather than prolong
tho controversy, withdrew the bill.

Quate arrangements for 1t. Now that
