That Is the Summing Up of Trade
Conditions by r.. G. Dun & Co.
NEW YORK, April Pr. G. Dun g.
Co.'S weekly review tomorrow will saw:
Nothing appears in the present ease in
the money market to prevent the heaviest
trade ever transacted at good profits
The payment to Spain is supposed to
have caused some rise in foreign ex-
change. which would amount to moth

other countries more than cover the pay-

come forward In July and later will soon
be offered.
Loans on industrial securities are still
at higher rates than on railway stocks,
but on good commercial paper or railroad
stocks money is in ample supply and at
low rates. Nor have the stock operations
caused any appearance of pressure. The
financing of new corporations has passed
thus far with less trouble than had been
feared. though the completion of some
organizations Is hindered or delayed The
usual time for financial trouble in the
spring has passed, and the usual alarm
about crops has done it's work. and still
industries are undfsturbed. The one
hindrance in stock speculation Is doubt
about crops, but better unofficial reports
have supported inferences warranted by
the heavy receipts from the farms in the
West and South. Farmers do not send
wheat or cotton to market in large guam
titles when crops anywhere near them
are extensively spoiled.
Nothing but industrial depression is
left to excite apprehension, but the in
dustries are meeting something very un-
like depression. The kind of "lull'' that
appears in the iron market rejoices man

DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
THE GRAND.

Camille was the bill at the Grand
last night and never was the title role Of
Alexandra Dumas love story better por-
trayed than by Nance O'Neil. Miss
O'Neil makes a charming Camille, and
if there be skeptics whom she has failed
to impress with her ability in her first
production they must surely give way
and worship at Her shrine after seeing
her in this sad love story.
The story Of Camille is so well known
that even synopsis Of it is unnecessary,
and this is not the first time that Miss
O'Neil has presented the play to ST. Paul
playgoers. During her engagement here
several months ago she gave Camille, but
the Camille of last night was very differ
ent from that former portrayal. The
improvement was so marked that 1t was
a source of wonderment, and again it
must be said that great credit Is due Miss
O'Neil that she makes so favorable an
impression with the support that is ac-
corded her. Camille is an ideal character
for Miss O'Neil, and surrounded by a
better company she could not fail to
make a tremendous success with 1t, old
as the story Is, and produced as many
times as it has been. .a$sgs %s

TRADING CANADA OFF.

Perhaps the most novel, as it is the
most recnt, development of British i'm
perialism is that recently put forward
looking toward the annexation of the
British West Indies to Canada. In IFS
preliminary expression this idea does not
go beyond the thought of such interde-
pendent relations of trade between Can
ada and the West Indies as will rebound
to the mutual advantage of both Sec
tions Of the British empire.
Out Of this remarkable proposal arises
the further conception of correspond
ing relationship between other sections
so situate with reference to production
as will tend to the Strengthening and
general assimilation of the various great
divisions Of the empire upon which the
sun never sets. Incidentally a plan is

The Monroe doctrine has been success
full in giving England some revised no.
tions regarding her relation toward this
continent. From this conception, no
doubt, in great measure, has sprung the
idea of drawing Canada and her West
India possessions closer together in the
bonds of trade. The idea does not seem
to the American mind either very original
or impressive. 1t is too palpably the re-

Supt. Fingerson, of the Buffalo
docks, mas invented a new system of
civil service that looks like winner, at
least in his business. One of his duties
at the beginning of each shipping season
is to contract large number of steve
dores. Last week he hung q notlce on
the outside OF his office to the effect that
300 stevedores Were wanted. Men were
quick to respond. and each one was noti-
fled to be at the water end OF dock "A
last Friday morning.
The men were prompt, and when the
300 had assembled on the dock Supr.
Fingerson stepped out in front OF
them and unburdened, himself of his
coat. Mounting a little platform, he said:
Min, l have something to say to ye.
Is there any one among ye that thinks
he's man enough to lick me-
Stevedores are not the most gentle class
of people In the world, and In this par
ticular gang We're many rough characters,
but the superintendent is big brawny
Irishman. and has been known to put
up a good rough and tumble fight when
cornered.
1t was evident that the men were some-
what taken back, and for several minutes
no one accepted the invitation to nght.
Then a strapping big Irshman near the
front of the gang. stepped out In the
open and, stripping off his coat, said, Il
think I can"

for" said the superintendent, Il want ye

suit of England's inability to make any

is purely financial one, aside from her
actual territorial possessions. 1t Is really
in that direction alone that she Is con-
cerned Even in the matter of trade, 1t

seriously set themselves to controlling
the trade of the Spanish-American ma
tions, England's competition would count
for but little.
The only real significance In this pro-
posed union is that the imperial power
is willing to assign to the dominion what
it has itself no use for. Just how Canada
would, with no naval resources OF her
own and no merchant marine, be able to
avail herself of this programme of sec
tional imperialism does not appear quite
plain. If Canada had not already
reached the high eminence Of being an
imperial military highway to the Orient,
1t might be worth while for some astute
British statesman to suggest that, per-

are united, dicker might be made by
