England and Chinese.

London, June 1.-THE Chinese situa-
ton, which at the beginning of last week
was merely small cloud on the interna-
tional horizon, now overshadows every
other topic. England, according to most
authorities, save those who control her
fcreign policy, is face to face with crisis
in far eastern affairs, which, though it
may not result in any immediate partition
of China, must determine the part that
England shall play when the partition
Eventually occurs. That such an emer-
gency should have arisen at a moment
when England is least able to utilize it,
when almost all her land forces are 6O00
miles from home, and when there is a
paramount necessity for keeping an extra
strong fleet in European waters, is de
plored by all shades of statesmen and
politicians.
Lord Salisbury stands almost alone
amidst his own party in believing that the
results of tine "Boxer" outbreak will be
neither serious nor permanent.

warmer weather has offered stimulus
to retail business in some sections.
Chief activity and most attention are,
however, still concentrated on the price
situation, and efforts to adjust quota
lions to most current demand and sup
ply conditions go forward steadily.
The exceptions to the general down.
ward tired of prices are those furnish
ed by leading farm products, notably
cereals, but here this moving cause is
hardly favorable, being the result of
less favorable crop reports, particular
ly from the northwest, and it is to be
noted that advices from the central
west, where the winter wheat yield
promises to be very short are less fav-
orable. The northwesterns had some
rains, but it is claimed not enough to
render the southern free from danger.
Corn crop conditions remain favorable,
as likewise do those of oats, but the
grains and hog products have sympa-
thized in the upward movement OF
wheat, which has at last broken from
it's lethargy and is again attracting
speculative attention. Foreign crop
advices, it might be added, are not fat
tering. The German rye crop prom
Uses to be short; the same report comes
regarding French wheat, and English
crop advices are not of the best
Southern iron mills are shading quo
tations in sympathy with similar &C
lions taken in Pittsburg, Chicago and
other markets. Prices at Birmingham
are now on a parity with those of Eu-
rope, freight charges considered, and
here, as in the north, the possibility Of
labor strikes intrudes itself. Cotton
| is slightly weaker. Wool is dull and
on the whole slightly weaker at east
ern markets. Mills engaged on wom-
ems wear goods are fairly we'll employ
ed, the outlook favors lower prices for
the new spring weights. There is lit
tie new in shoes. Leather is dull and
rather weak. Price shadings are re-
ported the rule in lumber, and this
coupled with low water in the north
west, it is hoped, may restrict new pro-
auctions.
| Surplus visible wheat supple are de-
creased. The decrease in American
stocks as reported to Bradstreet's in
May was 13,330,000 bushels against a
falling off of 9,O33,O bushels in April
Supplies in Europe, Australia and Ar.
gentine also decreased, though to a
much less marked extent and the result
is an aggregate worlds supply on June
1 of 143, $50, 900 bushels, supply of 49,
100000 bushels less than on May 1,
and comparing with decrease in May
a year ago of less than 100000 bush
els and two years ago of an increase OF
nearly 100000 bushels. The de
crease in American and European sup
plies is the largest reported in any
month since 1898, and is the largest re
ported in May since 1895. Business
failures number 1874, as compared with
1876 last week, 178 in this week a year
ago, 221 in 1898, 216 in 1897 and 274 in
1896. There were SO failures in Can
ada in May, involving 1881 ,280 of liza
bilities, an increase of 13 per cent in
number and rs per cent in liabilities
over the same month year ago.

For 10 years a charge of dynamite slum-
bered near the Foote house, in the Boise
river canyon. The other day it was dis
covered by men engaged in building a
road along the New York canal and was
lexploded says the Boise Statesman. 1t is
supposed this charge was placed in 1890
when the work was being done on Tho
original New York canal. That work
was practically stopped during meaI
hour, and the charge was forgotten. EN-
ployes of the New York canal in building
the road dug up piece of fuse, and upon
examination found more of it. 1t wa,
