OPERATIONS OF
 GEN. M ARTHUR
Consist Temporarily in Day ReConnoissanceS in Various
 Directions.

Manila, April 7.4:15 p. m.-General Mac Arthur's operations consist temporarily in day reconnoissances in various directions for the purpose of keeping in touch with the rebels and ascertainfng their move- ments.
 The Fourth cavalry and two guns were out all the morning in the direction of Bairasoana, north of Malolos. In the mean- time the dredges are busy clearing the channel of the Rio Grande.
 The United States double turretted moni- tor Monadnock is patrolling the bay in the vicinity of Bakoor, keeping the rebels in motion and dropping occasional shells among them in response to their musketry fire.
 Sual, reported to have been bombarded by the Baltimore, is merely a suburb of Dag upan, which, cabled on Thursday morn- ing last, was bombarded by the United States cruiser Charleston last Saturday because some of her boats we're fired upon and an officer wounded while in shore mak- ing soundings.

THE STEEL INDUSTRY.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
 If the condition of the iron and steel in- dustry has been barometer heretofore of the condition of trade and industry in general, it is destined to be much more so Ill the future A few years ago use of lron and steel was confined largely to con- struction and equipment of railroads and to manufacture of machinery and tools and hence demand for these products was com paratively narrowed. When demand for the purposes mentioned had been supplied Iron and steel manufacturers had no choice but to shut down their plants until fresh demand again arose. But in the last few years use of iron and steel has enor- mously broadened Steel is rapidly taking the place of wood entirely, and, to great extent of brick and stone in construction Of Buildings; it is taking the place of wood in construction of vessels for lake and river traffic as we'll as for ocean traffic; it is employed in the manufacture of electrical and hundred other appliances that Were not known a generation ago, and it is com monty used for bridges that even in remote rural districts one seldom hears now of wooden or stone arch bridges. Use of steel and iron has so extended that the failure of demand in one direction would have little perceptible effect on the industry as whole.
 Of course, a strong incentive to the in- creased use of steel and iron has been dl- unfinished by the cost of production. Better organization or industry, together with ac- cess to cheaper raw maerial and improved processes of manufacture has brought the price of steel and iron down, so that they are available now for purposes that were out of the question dozen or fifteen years ago. It is often matter of economy today, not only relatively but absolutely to use steel and iron instead of some other mate rial, and the constant tendency of the in- dustry is toward still greater reduction in cost of production. Increase in use of steel and iron begets still further increase in use of them, for each extension of demand opens the way for production on a larger scale and hence for greater economy of production. This is the chief reason why we are now shipping steel rails to Scot land and Australia, and American steel pro- ducts are underselling the British article m the British market. American steel is in demand for so many purposes that produc- ton of 1t is conducted on vast scale, and thus manufacturers are enabled to meet foreign competition.
 These facts account for the great pros perity of the American iron and steel in dustry at present and are destined to in- crease the American iron and steel trade, both at home and abroad, in the future. It is an encouraging outlook, for no foreign rivals in sight are likely to deprive Amer ican iron and steel manufacturers of their advantages The latter can be deprived of these advantages only by striving to over reach themselves by artifcially increasing the price of their products in the home mar ket the peril and folly of which most of them seem to perceive.

DUN'S WEEKLY
 REVIEW OF TRADE Statistics on the Failures During First
 Quarter. THE DEMAND FOR PRODUCTS Is Still Enormous and Prices Are Ad-
 VanCing.
HE DEMAND FOR PRODUCTS
COTTON MILLS ARE PROSPEROUS
Notwithstanding Strikes Have Closed Some of the Large Industries About Providence and Norwich-Wheat
 Has Been Fluctuating

New York, April 7.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade will say tomor- row: Failures in the first quarter of 1S99 were in number 2772 against 3,627 last year, and the liabilities were $z7 7152,0S1 against $S2, ,946, ,565, a decrease of 1T6 per cent. Geo. graphical aspects make the return peculiar, with a slight increase of defaults in New England, an increase of 13 per cent in the southeast and 20 per cent in the central states. There was a decrease of nearly 40 per cent. in the Pacific and southwestern states, fl per cent in western states ana 4S per cent. in the middle states. No other year of the twenty-four covered by Duns quarterly reports has shown so well.
 The average of defaulted liabilities per firm in business, only s22.19, is smaller than in the first quarter of any year except 1880.
 The demand for products is still enorm- ous. In pipes the new business is so great that 1t forces further advances in prices.
 In another industry progress seems to have been caused by firmness of manufae- turers, who notified consumers that op- tions for boots and shoes not accepted be- fore April would be withdrawn. A great number of orders followed, 1t is said, and April begins with the largest shipments for that week in any year, 9S,734 cases, making the total for the year larger than any year excepting 1898.
 Have Comfortable Margin
 Manufacturers who bought leather at low prices months ago have comtortaple margins, but those who buy at the h1gher prices lately quoted are seeking an ad- vance.
 The market for copper is strong, and while domestic consumption is heavy, the increase of 4,1OO tons in the European sup ply in March is not considered encouraging. The wooden manufacturer does not appear to have gained by recent consultations or proposals, but goods of the finer grades are steady in price, with moderate orders. Sales of wool have but slightly increased, though more inquiry is reported, with better demand for some grades of goods The cotton mills have enjoyed a fine de-

THIRTEEN DEAD
 RESULT OF FIRE
Continued from 12th Page.)

Nellie Quinn was cut off in the fourth floor, and, appearing at a front window put her hand over her eyes and jumped as she thought, to the ground but instead landed on the roof bow window one story below, and lay there stunned.
 Policemen Louis c. Wagner, McInerney and Hillman saw the womans peril, and, running into the house at No. 5, went to the fourth floor. Wagner was held by the heels and made a thrilling rescue of the woman.
 The firemen managed to confine the fire in this house to the third and fourth floors
 About o'clock the firemen had sufficient mastery over the fire to permit search of the Andrews hopse. They round the bod ies of the two remaining St. John children and the bodies of what are thought to be the two servants, Marie Roth and Kate Downing. At 11:15 o'clock the firemen found MT. Andrews body. It was badly burned, and parts of the legs were miss ing.
 At o'clock the workers in the debris found a body which was identified later by a dentist as that of Mrs. Andrews
 At various other times before o'clock the workers found the charred remains of four more persons, probably the servants two of them were identified as the bodies of Eva Peterson and Mary D. Roth.
