Export Demand Has Improved the
Cotton Goods Market.

Cotton Goods Market.
NEW YORK, Feb. M-Bradstreet's of to-
morrow will say: Iron and steel and cotton
goods nave shared in public interest this
week because of urgency in demand and
consequent buoyancy in prices. IN the for
mer industry the striking feature has been
the continued call for supplies alike of raw
and of manufactured material, not only on
domestic, but even on foreign account, and
it is as yet too early to ascertain the eff
feet of the numerous and heavy advances
announced during the week on the export
demand. 1t is, of course, to be remembered
that iron and steel are in active demand at
advancing prices the world over, and 1t Is
encouraging to find that export buyers OF
pig iron are following up their demands,
Notwithstanding recent advances in this
line. 1t is beginning 10 be questioned, how
ever, whether this country can hold it's eX-
port trade in some products II present price
tendencies continue. A notable example Of
this is furnished in steel rails, which are
now up to a parity with quotations in other
countries, and some business is said TO have
gone abroad because of this. Iron and steel
prices as a whole are from Is to 80 per cent.
higher than they were at this time a year
ago, and, considering cost of production and
output, it is asserted that profits are but
little below those of 1880.
In cotton goods, as in iron and steel and a
number of other products, active export de-
mand seems to nave been at the bottom of

occurred in the last three months. The last
week has witnessed specially marked
strength, print cloths, ginghams and gray
cottons all sharing in the price advances.
The export trade in cotton goods is the
largest ever known for the period since JAM.
], being more than double the value Of ex-
ports a year ago. Cotton itself is rather
easier and slightly lower on the week, the
result of a partly Increased movement at
the South.
Wheat Including four shipments for the
week aggregate 3,S44,359 bushels, against
2,454, III bushels last week, 3,722, 469 bushels in
the corresponding week of 1898. 1872 ,216
bushels in 1897, 2,206, T3 bushels in 1886 and
2,639,0 3S bushels in 1885. Since July / this
season the exports~of wheat aggregate 1872
S97,349 bushels, against 161, 204, 750 bushels last
year. Corn exports for the week aggregate
2,S1 .057 bushels. against 1,5S0,A5 bushels last
week, 1892 199 bushels in this week a year
ago 4,744S5S bushels in 1897, 3.15s.S 1S bushels
in 1886 and 847,S51 bushels in 1896. Since
July l this season corn exports aggregate

ASK HIGHER RATES.
Ohio Miners Demand More than Oper-
ntors Are willing to Pay.

COLUMBUS. o.. Feb. 2.-The conference
held here to-day between the executive COM
mittee of the Ohio miners and operators de-
veloped serious differences. The operators
of this State, not having been a party to
the interstate agreement at Pittsburg, are
not bound by it, and they have determined
to secure the most advantageous terms pos
slble by dealing directly with the Ohio
miners. Al the conference to-day they de-
manded & settlement on the run-of-mine
basis in the Pittsburg district, which is AZ %
cents per ton. The miners insist on the
price under the Chicago agreement, which
would be Az cents per ton. Neither side
has yet shown a disposition to yield. and
the. conference adjourned till tomorrow,
with the prospects for a settlement any
thing but encouraging. National President
Mitchell and Vice President Davis are here
to assist IN the settlement and will remain
until a decision is reached. The Ohio miners
offer to send organizers into the West Vir-
g1nia coal fields and endeavor TO raise the
price Of mining there, but as similar efforts
in the past have failed the offer of the Ohio
miners holds but little inducement to the
operators, who have suffered severely BY
competition with West Virginia.

ing the purpose TO continue the use or Aus
tralian beef.
GOOD, BUT REPULSIvE.
'I would like to say in regard to the abuse
Of this timed roast beef" said the witness,
that when it was kept in the holds Of
vessels or exposed in the tropical sun the
effect is like that of the sun on the best
canned butter in Arizona. 1t remains per-
fectly good, though it becomes very repul-
sive in appearance" He said If nothing
better could be secured it was to be eaten
from the cans, but only in emergencies, the
real intention being toe use it with condi-
ments and with vegetables
Replying to Colonel Gillespie, Gen. Eagan
said the question of the meat component OF
the army ration for the tropics was never
discussed with the commanding general,
General Miles. nor was his opinion asked.
General Shafter was not consulted, nor to
his knowledge did either ever inquire at his
office. Witness was very busy and the OPP
portunity was not offered. Had it been he
would have seized II.
Colonel S. B. NJ. Young. Third Cavalry,
major general of volunteers, commanding
Second Corps, told of Santiago campaign
experiences with beef. No complaints about
the timed roast beef were heard. On the
contrary. he understood it was rather liked.
Prior to the campaign he never heard Of this
beef.
Major A. H. Bowman. Second Infantry,
had no complaints from his command in
Cuba: the men and officers, he said, ac-
cepted the ration as the best obtainable. He
did hear. however, unofficially complaints
from other commands that the canned roast
beef was unsatisfactory and unpalatable. he
ate some Of it. but it seemed to have been
boiled excessively and deprived of its sub
stance. 1t seemed old, as though canned a
long time. and he and other officers re-
marked informally about 1t. Refrigerated
beef was very satisfactory.
Captain j. NJ. Arrassmith, Third Intan-
try. major commissary department, sta
toned at Chickamauga, testified to the sat
i~sfaction which both the refrigerated ana
canned roast beef gave Camp Thomas, CIV
ing details of the manner Of issuing the
fresh meat.
Captain Henry l.. Ripley. Third Cavalry,
detailed the experience with beef at Tampa
i'm line with the testimony of Colonel
Weston. Captain Ripley accompanied his
4 Command to Cuba. Canned roast beef was
Yused en- route and during the siege. NO COM
~lpiaints were heard, but it vas almost taste
less, he said, quickly palled on the taste
and the men soon refused to eat 1t, though
he heard no formal complaints. Refrigerated
beef gave general satisfaction.
AT the conclusion of Captain Ripleys tes-
timony Colonel Davis announced that no
further witnesses were present, but proDaoly
fifteen Others were summoned whom he ex-
pected to arrive within a day or So. ,Ac-
cordingly an adjournment until 10 O'Clock
Monday was taken.
