THE MONETARY ACT.
Took Enect ON wednesday But Has
Had No Erect ON BuJiness.


New York, March 16.-R. @. DUN g.
Co.'s weekly review Of trade tomorrow
will say;
The new monetary act which was
signed and took effect on Wednesday has
not affected business psrceptibly a. yet.
Tns report Of foreign commerce in Feb
ruary was surprisingly satisfactory. The
szcess of exports over imports. $50, soi, ,ei2.
raises the balance due this country on
merchandise account TO sS64. sos, 4e4 for
eight months.
1he grain movement IL fading In i'm.
portance. Corn exports have been In two
weeks only 8, ,4g7, 102 bushels against T.
la6, SOB last year. though prior to March
132, 9S2, ,62s bushels were exported against
90, s54, 9s4 last year. The wheat move
ment is falling behind rather less than It
has been In recent weeks, owing partly 10
large Pacific shipments. Atlantic exports
In two weeks have been 5000, 454 bushels.
-four included. against 6.s29. AIS last year
aud Pacific exports 2,566077 bushels.
against /. 42y, ,376 last year.
Zsalous efforts to excite new confidence
in higher prices for iron have not had the
desired effect. While various markets are
called stronger. not . quotation has ad-
vanced but tank plates at Pittsburg are
shade lower ut two cents. Many large
contracts are mentioned as In prospect
but not one was closed except o structural
contract for the government printing
office. Much work Is deferred because Of
the builders and maohinists strike at
Chicago. II Is not strange that higher
prices have been asked for most cotton
goods, with the merket for raw cotton
higher than 1t has been since January,
1893, and the break in its price did not 60
far enough to change the situation. With
print cloths at three and one-half cents,
against 400 early In 1898, standard and
southern sheetings q quarter to half
cent lower. and ginghams one cent lower
than in 1883, the mills would be asking
more II they had not taken large supplies
Of cotton before the rise in February.
Sales Of wool have hesA only 1888. 800
pounds in two weeks. Manufacturers
have such supplies that they buy anIy to
p,ecs out for special wants ana the best
dealers report that yielding Of one csnt
would be required in order to effect sales
Quotations are really nominal for lack Of
transactions. The mills are still produc-
ing great quantities Of good without buy
Ing wool Prices Of leading goods have
not declined, but others, both plain and
fancy, are somewhat wsa ker.
Failures for the week have heen 1893 In
the United States against ls9 last year,
and 20 In Canada against 80 last year.

IS. PORTLAND MAINE MORNING,

nothing today to indicate any improve
ment in the Saco and Pettee machine
shop trouble.
Only one man so far as Is reported,
has broken from the ranks OF the strikers
and gone back to work. He didn't be-
lieve In the strike, AMI had the courage
to stand up IN the meeting OF the union
and say so, giving his reasons.
Some Of the strikers were very hope
full this morning Of an early settlement
and they freely predicted that all would
be back at work by next Tuesday morn
ing. Whether they had good reason for
saying o,or was simply piece of guess
ing on somebody's part, did not appear.

Pretoria Adyices Say That Bosr'

London, March 1.-THE Daily Mall

Marques dated Friday, March 8: EN-
treohing 10 proceeding on the Vaal river
at Vereeying.
"Late arrivals from Pretoria say that
their case IL hopeless. General Lucia
Meyer refuses to fight again and has re-
tired to his farm. General Schalkburger
has also returned, and the burglars ara
golug home by hundreds.
The Cape Town correspondent Of the
Daily Telegraph says:
"TkO Beer prisoners. learn, will Q

"Bungling of the home authorities. I"
he saidi
"Gensral Buffers extraor linary orders
to Lord Methuen were to relieve Kimhsr-
ley to take all the people away and to
fall back to the Orange river. You pso-
pie in England have su- wonderful
icsas about BalIsr's generalship; but
such . retreat would have bsen mon
strous."
Mr.. Rhodes declared that there had
only been 80. 600 Beers In ths field alto
eesher and that the foreign mercenaFies
were only about 1900. The numbers
Of the Beers, he said, had been exAggerat-

GERMANY'S ANSWER.
To the Request of President Kruger
For Mediation.

To the Request of President Kruger
For Mediation.
Pretoria, Wedn eedAy, March IA, via
Lourenoo Marques, Thursday, March 10.
The 5erman consul has handed the fol-
lowing despatch to President Kruger:
"The government Of Germany and the
Emperor will be gladly ready 70 assist In
friendly mediation as soon a. the funda-
mental conditions to such are apparent.
as soon az 1t Is demonstrated that both
opponents desire mediation. Whether the
desire already exists on the British side
can be found BY the republics on direct
inquiry at London or through the good
offices of third government which has
no important interests OF It's own to con-
slider In south Africa. The latter as
sumption is qualified with q number Of
nations In and outaide Europe, but ot
with Germany. Any such step on the
part of the German governments would
awaken suspioions and have other than o
humani tartan view. The increased mis-
trust thereby engsndered would not pro-
mote @ peaceable settlement. The request
of the republics to transmit thsir appeal
for mediation to the Austro- Hungarian
and Swiss governments whose interests
are watched By the German consulate,
has Been Immediately fulfilled
