Two matters one now passed and the
other to develop tomorrow, acted adversely
on the close of the stock market yesterday.
The bank settlement had features that had
not been expected and the first disposition
was 10 look at it with unfaYorabie eyes.
Many small holders Of stocks sold them
out when the statement was, made public.
There seems very little doubt that the
Peace Treaty will be ratified without
hitch, but while there is the least uncer
tainty many spectators were unwilling TO
carry stocks over Sunday. II thus hap
pened that when nearly the entire street
was beginning 10 believe that the end Of
the decline had arrived, at least for 4
time, selling movement began yesterday
within half an hour OF the close of the
session. Prices went off sharply, although
little stock came out. The day was a bull
day IN many respects. II became evident
that the bull leaders had obtained control
Of the situation again All during the first
part Of the session they advanced prices
steadily. When the selling began they did
not help it or attempt 10 stem it. evidently
believing that If people desired to get out
OF the market they should be allowed 20
do SO. In this respect yesterday was diff
ferent from the early part OF the week,
when IL was evident that many sold out
bulls were working for lower prices in or
der TO get into the market again. The
outlook is promising, even a!luring. II the
Treaty is ratified tomorrow. There will
probably be fluctuations for few days un-

special features, the entire list advancing
steadily in the early trading, and then
shading off as uniformly in the last half
hour. Some stocks were better treated
than others, however. New York Central

advances, and both acted fairly well when
the slump came. Central went to 1SS 5-S,

FAULTY PACKING OF AMERICAN
GOODS. Under date Of August 9, ISoo
Consul Haydn writes from CastelIamare
di Stabia:
American exporters not only do not
properly pack their goods, but, even
when especially requested to do so, fail
to give their attention to the matter
which the necessity of the case demands.
Our people should remember that their
responsibility ceases when the goods are
free on board in the United States,
and to trace an irregularitY-not to use
a harsher expression--is out of the ques.
tion; for, even could it be located. the
trouble and expense incident TO the
matter would outweigh the pecuniary
interest.
81 have succeeded in starting what
promises to shortly lead to trade In
American bicycles and tricYcles, and !
gave especial directions to securely box
the machine ordered. Instead of needing
the instruction, the machine was sent,
not in a box, but in a crate. All the
tools were stolen in transit, which
caused a delay OF six weeks and the
cost of another set oi tools, as they
could not be had here. This has oc.
Cured in five instances"

Consular Notes

TRUSTS IN GERMANY.-Consul Brun'

report (received by the State Depart
meEt August I9, 1897, SAYS:
GAS trusts are now being discussed In
the United States, 1t may be OF interest
to know that practically every industry
in my consular district is managed in
this way. The report of the Chamber
OF Commerce of this city. just issued,
urges the formation of a trust in the PIN
industry. The manufacture of pins has
heretofore been accomplished by hand
labor; but, in view of the competition Of
American machinery, combination Of
manufacturers, with the object of keep
ing prices, has been advised. Last week
the owner of one Of the oldest wOOlen
cloth factories in AK la Chapelle,
thoroughly conversant with the trade OF
every country, said, when l asked him
why he did not erect a factory in the
United States:
1--WE can MAKE more money by
manufacturing here. Your labor is too
high, and your wooden cloth men do not
stand together; they cut prices too much.
Here, we regulate our business, and can
adapt ourselves to competition by con
trolling prices and labor. We made a
great deal of money before the high
tariff went into effect in the United
States.'"

Another Claim for Prize Money.

Captain Charles H, Davis. upon behalf
mand in Porto Rican waters on July 27
and ~ OF last year. has brought suit in
the District Court oi the District Of
Columbia to recover the prize money
due by reason OF the capture of various
vessels, stores and supplies. The amount
claimed is $62,7es. OF which half goes to
the IbeIlant and officers.
Captain Davis sets forth that he was
in command OF the United States vessels
Dixie, Wasp, Annapolis and Gloucester,
and that there were captured by the
American forces on the dates mentioned
in and about the harboT OF Ponce, Porto
Rico, az merchant ships, some Of them
with cargOes, 81 lighters, $50 tons OF
Welsh coal, rolling stock and other
movable property Of the railroad from
Ponce to Yauco, as we'll as goods in the
custom house at La Playa aud the bar
racks at Ponce, and other property Of
the King OF Spain. All of this property
recovered, the libellant asserts, was
lawful prize, with the exception OF two
neutral vessels. These, 1t is stated,
were the British baTkeutine Grenada
and the Danish vessel Freyo, which
could not be condemned as prizes.
Capt. Davis got on TO state that at
the time OF the capture the United States
was at war with the kingdom of Spain,
and admits that all the ships were inferior
to the forces OF his command,
Among the larger ships captured was
the Paz, Spanish brgantine Of VigO,
Spain, constructed OF wood and owned
by Iuan Rebas y Msntuny, and having
a tonnage Of 2ea.73. Its cargo had been
unloaded. The value of this vessel is
placed at $4,000. Another named is the
Ventura, OF Barcelona, built of wood,
aI7.s4 tonnage. owned by Tomas Glib.
ernan, and valued at S. 900; the Ysabel,
of Palma, Island OF Mai orca, 25StOnnage,
the property of Mateo Bonet, and valued
at S. coo, and the Paquette de Arecibo.
OF sSan Juan, Puerto Rico, valued at
S2,soo. The value Of the other vessels
and lighters as scheduled ranges from
nothing to $500
Nearly all Of the vessels and property
recovered has been inventoried by a
board appointed by Secretary Long, and
consisting ol Lieutenant Commander
Seaton Schroeder, senior member, Lieut.
Commander Richard Wainwright, Lieut.
Aaron Ward, and Carpenter S. J.

TOrpedOes under the Maine.

Some interest was created in Officia !
circles here last Sunday particularly
among naval officers, by the publication
of the results Of what purported to be a
secret Investigation regarding the
destruction of the battleship Maine in
Havana harbor. which, the story said,
was blown uD by guncotton torpedoes
planted in the bay for that purpose.
DiIigent inquiry, however, fails to show
that any official investigation has been
made at the direction OF The authorities
here, although it is suggested that the
officials at Havana have discretionary
powers to make an investigation should
they see fit, and that it isjust barely
possible that. as result OF such action,
some additional information bearing on
the subject has been secured. Captain
Lucien Young is the port officer at
Havana, and it is possible, said one
official, that he may have dug up the
information printed.
Secretary Long, ofthe Navy, was very
much interested in the story, but said he
had no information on the subject.

Pure Beer.
Adolphus Busch, of the Anheuser
Busch Brewing Company, of St. LOUIS
last Monday took position before the
Senate Committee on Manufactures
antagonIstic to that taken by many other
brewers who have testified before the
committee. He appeared before this
committee in connection with its inves-
tigation of food adulterations, and in
reply to questions from Senator'S Mason
and Harris. said that the best beer could
be made only of barley malt, hops,
yeast, and water; that while corn might
be used for ordinary beer, the best article
could not be made from it, He contended
that a process OF aging was the only
proper preservative Of beer, and that
boracic and salicylic acids were injurious
and deleterious to health He favored
a law fixing a minimum of malt extract
and other materials entering into the
production of beer.
At the afternoon session Of the COM
mittee the testimony OF number OF
American champagne makers was heard:
They were w, E. Hildreth, president o.

Emerson, president of the Brotherhood
Wine Company; D. G. Cook, president
of the American Wine Company; ID.
Bauder. president of the Pleass Mt Valley
Wine Company, and c. G. Wheeler
president OF the Lake Keuka Wine
Company. Their testimony was dl'
rected toward showing the superiority
OF the American wines over the foreign,
and they condemned in unmeasured
terms the practice OF sending abroad
cheap. adulterated wines from this
country and bring them back decorated
with foreign labels. They favoreo
legislation making it felony to counter
felt labels and trade marks, and also
urged prohibition of importation ot
American wines which have been sent
abroad and returned adulterated. They
assert that so per cent. of the imported
still wines and a large percentage OF the
champagnes were doctored American
wines.
