High Price Of Manila Hemp.

The Philippine product which the
United States has bought and used the
most of for many years is Manila
hemp. 1t was found to be specially
adapted for the manufacture of bind
ing twine, an article which has become
one of the necessities of the American
wheat grower. Two years ago Manila
hemp was selling for $40 a ton. Two
months ago it was worth $40 ton.
The latest London quotation is nearly
5000 ton. The price has gone up
because all peaceful industries in
Luzon are in bad condition. Filipinos,
who are fighting under AguinaldO, or
who liye in districts held one day by
the Americans and another day by the
insurgents. cannot be expected TO be
specially industrious. The hemp rails
ed outside the American lines cannot
reach Manila, and if all the ports held
by the insurgents are blockaded, it will
not be shipped out of the island. In
that event the price Of that article will
be almost prohibitory. As hemp is nee
essary for the manufacture Of binding
twine, the farmers Of the United States
have an especial reason for desiring
an early ending of the war in the Phil
ippines, and should encourage the adj
ministration to push military opera
tiOns there.

EXPRESSIONS OF THE DIPLOMATS.
What il Said at the Embassies and
Legations.

At the foreign embassies and legations
the news that the Filipinos had treated for
peace attracted much attention, and for
the time being displaced those other sub
jects which have been under consideration
The substance of the Otis dispatch was
communicated to several of the foreign Of
fees abroad. The foreign representatives
expressed satisfaction at the turn of af-
fairs. regarding it as most opportune for
the United States. as well as a c0nsumma-
ton in which all civilized nations would
share.
The British charge d'affaires Mr.. Tower.
was much gratified that the end of The
fighting was in sight.
At the French embassy also the news
was received with evidences of satisfa ction
and, indeed at all the foreign establish
ments there Were expressions Of sincere
good will that the resistance to American
rule was near its end.
One of the ambassadors said Your
country is 10 be congratulated on this re-
suit. 1t means great deal-much more
than tie mere cessation of fighting. 1t will

GENERAL MARKET REPORT


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, April 2S.-The trading in to-
days stock market was again narrow and
professional. Early prices were moderately
well sustained, but there was little new
buying. The Philippine situation was
passed over without influence prices, al
though the more conservative traders con-
sdered the atlvces an important addition
to the fund of good news.
An incident which is more significant
from a banking standpoint is the payment
of the Spanish indemnity growing out of
the acquisition of those islands.
Londons heavy selling of mining shares
and the exchange to be provided on account
of this payment are almost certain to find
reflection in the attitude of the banks
toward loans on miscellaneous issues.
This return to cautious lending is not eE-
pected TO be more than temporary, but the
prospect is sufficient to encourage wait
ing market for Il further period. The buy
ing on concessions indicates confidence in
higher prices, but it is not general
The crop situation deters some, the money
market others. and the need of funds com
mercally completes the arguments favor
ing a period of inertia. There is nothing
radically bad to contend against. and the
dullness is not likely to tempt the trading
element into any serious indiscretionS on
the short side of the market
The compromise of certain litigation in
cident to Brooklyn rapid transt's consoiida-
ton had a favorable influence on the price
of that stock, but no effort was made 10
force the advance. The Flower stocks are
being accumulated, but they are not being
forced upon the attention of the street.
International Paper is thought to be
likely property around present prices. but
it is evident that delay is suggested from
motives of policy
The buying of Northern Pacific issues was
better than for several days, and there
were some indications of an attempt to ad-
vance the price. The common stock was
taken in round amounts by an interest
thoroughly familiar with the property.
The southern and southwestern roads We're
moderately well sustained. but there was
no enthusiasm in the demand.
The industrial list was irregular prices
moving around without special reason for
their course. The street is buying for a
quick return only, and not for substantial
results, as it did a few weeks ago.
