TRADE REVIEW.
Conditions In Business ana INDUS
trial Circles rs Seen by Leading
Commercial Agencies.

New York, July 29.-Bradstreets says:
weather conditions exercise their natur-
all effect upon the volume of current
business, which is. however larger than
a year ago, and restrict speculation
therefore limiting the volume of bank
clearingS, without, however, exercising
any particular influence upon prices,
which display nearly all their old frmness
and, in fact. show still further advances
in several lines. Special activity in the
iron and steel industry is reported at Chi
cago, where heavy advances have been
made In finished products, and numerous
shipments are reported not only to Ohio
and Pennsylvania but as far east as Bos-
ton. Every blast furnace in the Birming
ham district is expected to be in operation
by the advent of autumn, but the produc-
ton for the latter part of the year 1899,
which promises to be enormous, has all
been booked. The glass trade is reported
particularly active. and conditions in that
industry are said to be the best for years
past. The cereal markets note little
change in price, but trade opinion seems to
favor steady demand and few fluctuations,
in view of admittedly large necessary TAX
irgS by foreigners. Liberal rains at the
south, particularly in the Atlantic coast
states, have improved cotton prospects,
and slight shading in price is to be noted
for the week"

Spanish prisoners at Calamba, OF whom
some were civil officials and some were
soldiers. They had been given the
choice of joining the Filipino army OF
becoming servants to Filipinos, ana
chose the army, intending to surrender
at the first opportunity. Most of tho
civilians reached the American lines
during the fighting. but the insurgents
took others away with them in their re-
treat.
Thursday Gen. Hall brought to Ma.
Mia the Spaniards whom the expedition
had released from captivity of more
than year.
The force comprised 400 of the Wash
ington volunteers, $50 of the Twenty
first infantry; $50 of the Fourth cav
airy, and two guns of the First artil'
lery.
Calamba is town on Laguna dc
Bay about 30 miles southeast of Ma

etrated on land. 1t is in the province
of Laguna. 1t has a population OF

fatalities is 1856 % officers, 600 pri-
Yates and II civilians, attached TO the

record is found in the statement that
the number of officers killed in battle
is out of all proportion to the num-
Der of privates killed. On the other
hand, fewer officers died from disease
proportionately than privates. Out
of the % officers dead, 10 We're killed in
