Rev. John NJ. MeCallum has brought
two lawsuits against the West Chicago
Street Railway Company, one for per-
sonal injury and one for libel. Last
summer Mr.. McCallum stirred up some
antagonism in Rockford, Ill, by ser
mons against dancing and other world
" amusements. He says the Rockford
Journal printed a letter from the rail-
road company, commenting upon his
claim that he had been permanently
injured on one of the company's cars.
The clergyman says he has been held
up to the world as an insincere person,
and he therefore asks $50 900 damages.

THE GENERAL MARKET.

London, March 30.-The Statist this
week takes an optimistic view of the
business outlook here and in America
1t points out that the activity of trade
throughout the world is due to calner
political conditions. and referring to
xAlilef4ca' IL says: Speaking broadly
LIdue ~ Ehe United States is growing
marvelously, and is likely to continue
to grow unless the new crops prove
very pad indeed, or something alto
gelher unforeseen occurs There is
more uncertainty respecting the prob
able course of the money market than
ponies OF trade. The probability an
pears to be that there will be no such
rise IN rates in the New York market
as will lead to the shipment of much
gold from Europe to the United States
before summer. OF course, the true
balance of indebtedness to the United
States IS not quite redressed. The I'm
lted states is still employing money in
Europe and especially In Germany,
and that money can be withdrawn
whenever it seems desirable: but it is
not probable that money will become
so dear in New York, that II will be
profitable to withdraw the sums now
employed from Germany and ship them
across within the next few months 1t
will be different when the crops begin
TO be moved. If money continues to
be employed In Germany on anything
like the scale it is now employed, it
Will be withdrawn when the rates rise
much, and Germany will be compelled
to draw from England and France, and
later, if the stringency in New York
increases, gold may be shipped from
Europe in considerable amounts"
The wool market is more active and
an improved feeling generally prevails.
There is not likely to be any large buy
ing movement until the arrangements
connected with the worsted trust are
completed, although some of the mills
which are known to be in the combine
have been in the market during the
past week, and have taken some woods,
and the dress goods people have bought
with some freedom. so that the total
sales for the past week reach the larg
est aggregate seen in some time-2, 78S,-
600 pounds, of which only 43S, 900 pounds
were foreign. Prices are steady.

Boston, March 90.-Wheat followed ca
bles and opened firm. The early trade
was mixed, the foreign interest being un-
certain. Liverpool cables were up from
"a. TO ID, and that market will stand ad-
lourned till Tuesday morning. The sud
den Jump in the price of 1% was on lack
through all sorts of commission houses
The Chicago scalpers were the sellers. and
the tone of the market was nervous and
eXcitable. Outside buying orders are In
creasing, and have a tendency to show
which way wheat will go. Paris wheat
was up equal to a cent a buShel on con-
tlnued cold weather. It looks as If the
next visible supply would show decrease
of half million bushels. Price Current
says: Wheat conditions are still trying,
but radical damage is not yet certain; the
recent SHOWS were beneficial" The cas-
Ing off in the price towards the close was
due to the evening up for tomorrows Holt
day.
The New York stock market opened
strong Both London and the continent
displayed firmness, and there is a good
prospect of active trading after the holt
days. The clash at Samoa did not create
ripple in financial circles. The feature
in London was the sharp recovery in
American securities after early weakness.
Cheap money continues to be the argu-
ment of the advocates of improvement in
prices. The London Stock Exchange ad-
journed for the Easter holidays until next
Tuesday. The outlook for stocks, in our
opinion, is irregularity and probably a
further reaction. but between now and
April 10th money should ease off consid-
erably. with a corresponding benefit to the
blllIS.

ST. Johns, March 16.-The colonial gov
ernment is fitting out the revenue cruiser
Fiona for the annual spring campaign
against the supply of bait to French
fishermen in Newfoundland waters.
Owing to the vigorous attitude mani
tested by Joseph Chamberlain toward
French agreSsions. the bait act will be
enforced more stringently than ever, and
it is believed this course will have the
effect of crippling the French fishing in
dustry on the grand banks this season.
