BRADsrREETs REVIEW

New York, May. 12.-Bradstreet's tomor-l row will say:
 Reports as to trade conditions are gen eraly of a favorable tenor, notable among these being advanced quotations for many grades of iron and steel increased activity in building lines; reflected in heavy sales of lumber at prices tending upward, a firIner tone in the cotton goods market, sympathized in by the raw product, bank clearings surpassing all records for this week of the year, railroad earnings main taining recent gains and business failures, as for sometime past down to the mini num-
 Offsetting these in some measures might be cited the reasonable quieting down of wholesale distributive demand, particular ly for dry goods and clothing but most notable of the further weakening of cereal values refiecting the indifference ot freight buyers in spite of the definitely conceded fact that our winter wheat acreage has been considerably curtailed. If conditions of demand, supply, invisible wheat reserves and foreign crop adVlces did not favor lower prices, the government report might have been regarded as re- fecting the feeling among foreign con sumers that good crops abroad and the refilling of depleted reserves from last years yield will furnish wheat in p'enty.
 The demand in iron and steel does not weaken. Production of pig iron, though al a mlnlInum, Is SIlll lHduSNuoNOs oA4N etA0 stocks of pig iron show a further. decrease. Reports that possible foreign business Tn this line has been rejected came from the producing center, but the efforts Of foze.ga CTS to obtain supplies here is nevertheless testimony of their own productive abilities being heavily taxed In textile lines the fea- lures of the week have been the praetica "pegging" of the price of print cloths for the next six months as a result of large sale by the combined Fall River interests This has imparted frmness to all branches of the trade and affected quotations Of the raw material also. It seems evident that the first real inspiration in the wool indus try must come from abroad. Heavy buying of Australian grades for re-export has been again the feature, but coupled with this are reported liberal sales at leading mar kets of domestic wool to go abroad. In the building trades activity is very generally reported, sales of lumber are large and the strong statistical position of nearly all grades foreshadow continued firmness or a further advance. Hides and leather are in good demand and firm, while the manu- factured product Is moving well at recent advances.
 Wheat, including flour, seems for the week to aggregate ,182 bushels against 4S4,0S1 bushels last week and ,543 bush els in the corresponding week of last year.

who is peaker as long as the house gives to Pennsylvania the clerk. At any rate the Pennsylvania delegation has declined to make any combination with New York If Senator Platt, who is really behind Sher- man, promises to his Pal" Quay the clerkship, then Pennsylvania will support the New Yorker over Representative Hop- kins.
 An Element of Weakness
 There is an element of weakness in this combination The men in the west who would like under ordinary conditions to support sherman of New York. may be prevented from so doing owing to this very combination of Platt and Quay. The hardy west does not relish the idea of the two eastern 'bosses," and neither of them being in the house, dictating the policy of the house.
 The argument is being used that Senator Platt by the election of New Yorker to the speakership intends to dictate legisla- tion in the congress of the United States just as he does in the legislature of New York. And there is nothing to prevent him from doing this, either, be it known.
 Senator Platt has behind him in what ever he wants, Senator Hanna, Senator Elkins, and men of that stamp with Sena- tor Quay, if the latter is seated, and it be- gins to look as if he would be-
 New York has got a powerful team in the senate. Platt and Depew will be able to do anything they are mind to almost in the upper house. They will support the administration and the administration will support them. Add to this a New Yorker in the chair in the house, with commit tes appointed largerly at the suggestion of Senator Platt and some idea can be had of the influence of Senator Platt in both halls of congress.
 The western men have taken all this into consideration. Hopkins and Henderson will run against each other. General Hender- son will hold large soldier vote and Hop kins will gather around him the newer and more prosperous element There is, as I said above, some method in this rivalry. Should General Henderson withdraw and the Hopkins and Henderson forces unite it will come pretty near to overthrowing the plans of Senator Platt.
 Quay Wants to Be Seated
 Senator Quay is an important factor in the fight and he will use it to his own advantage. He wants to be seated. He has been cleared of the charges against him and now he seeks admission into the senate through appointment. It begins to look as if he would be admitted, too, in spite of the fact that Corbett was refused admittance with a commission similar in
The age-herald., 1899-05-13

detail to that which Senator Quay has. The latter is strong in influences, where Corbett was weak. It will take some powerful motive for such men as Chandler, Allison, Aldrich, Ellxins ct. al, to vote to turn down their ancient comrade from Pennsylvania. He has fought too many of their battles and been too able an abettor of republican crimes to be lightly turned down. It Is said that the committee on privileges and elections has already, or poll, agreed to report favorably on seat ing Quay. Senator Caffery will bring in a minority report and it is thought that Senator Spooner will not be able to stretch his conscience to the extent of signing a report favorable to Quay. But here are some of the other members. The very reading of their names is almost guaran- tee that Quay will get a large majority of the committee in his favor. Senators Chandler, Hoar, Burrows, Pritchard with the places of Senators Faulkner and Allen vacant on account of their retirement The fight in the beginning will be to get Quay men in these vacanies.
 It will not count for any thing to these men whether or not the precedents are against seating Quay. Friendship in the senate counts for more than precedents and ranks up with the constitution. Then, too, there is hardly a senator who does not in his heart sympathize with Quay In his fight with John Wannamaker.

HAVE YOU CATARRH |?

Do You Cough or Catch Gold Easily |?
 You say you haven't got catarrh? We'll, you are lucky. Very few people can say that honestly cough is catarrh of the bronchial tubes A cold is acute catarrh Chronic catarrh is simply an old cold. The people who catch cold easily have catarrh ir the system. Thousands of people have catarrh who do not mistrust it. Pe-ru-na is the only scientific remedy for catarrh yet discovered.
 Pe-ru-na cured MT. Otto F. Losensky, of 4 West street, Newark, N. J., of chronic catarrh, with which he had been afflicted for twenty years. He says: "I was sick for eighteen or twenty years and did not know what was the matter with me. I consulted several physicians, one of whom said he could cure me in six months. He doctored me for my blood. Another physician said I had dyspepsia.
 Finally I wrote to Dr. Hartman for ad- vice. He told me my trouble was catarrn and advised Pe-ru-na. Pe-ru-na cured the catarrh. My appetite is good and I sleep well. I wish I could tell everyone about Pe-ru-na." Address Dr. Hartman Colum- bus, Ohio. for a free book, entitled ''Winter Catarrh."

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, May 12.-Bradstreet's finan- cial review tomorrow will say:
 At the beginning of the week the mar ket experienced general decline attended by considerable liquidation of long stock. On Wednesday it rallied sharply on sup port by large interests and exceptionally large purchases for London This fact was, however, apparently due to the exist ence of large short interest in Americans in the foreign market while covering New York local professional bear sales which contributed towards the stay of prices.
 It was noticed that the drop in prices this week was in the main the result of a purely speculative case, namely the over bought condition of the market. Stocks have accumulated in the hand of people who bought on a margin in expectation of a continued rise. The buying power has, however, become measureably exhausted, while disappointment at the action of the market produced, as 1t naturally would, a disposition to realize. The decline of last week, though not severe, aggravated this tendency, while in many cases margins were weakened to an extent which fur nished occasion for enforced liquidations
 The market has not suffered from any fears of tight money. On the contrary, supplies of funds seem to be increasing and the rate is easier The bond market has been unaffected by the events affecting speculative values and the demand for in- vestments Is large and almost as eagerly sought as at any previous time. On the other hand, the financial public has not nearly begun to appreciate the efforts of the continued creation of new industrial securities, and a conservative sentiment has asserted itself in this city. It was gen. eraly remarked that the alleged proposition to erect a billion-dollar trust by com mission of industrials already formed in that trade seemed to touch the limits of the industrial movement, and some relief was felt when it was known that the foun- dation for this was merely the plan to consolidate the Carnegie properties and to purchase the interests of that founder in them.
 The appetite of the public for industrials
