FINANCIAL REVIEW


 New York, February 23.-Bradstreets Financial Review tomorrow will say:
 Dullness and the predominance of pro- fessional trading was again the most pro- nounced feature of the speculative week The conditions which prevailed in Wall street, however, found their duplicate in the London market which, although rem dered more cheerful by tine news of Brit ish5 success in recent opera tions in South Africa shows like our own without at- fractions for the public. Nearly all of the developments for the week have been Of a favorable character. Large increases In current earnings are the rule, and the annual reports of several industrials and railroad corporations have appeared mak- ing in all cases a most excellent showing The responses to such factors have how ever, been limited, and though the street IS some what impressed with the belief that the expected passage of the current and refunding bill at Washington will give a decided impetus to speculation, there is an apparent hesitation to- act upon this side. Money, it would appear tends to work a httle f1rmer for the time being and this. perhaps, limits the activity of the bull pools and large interests which favor that Side or the speculative account
 The recent heavy increases in the volume Of the New York bank loans and the re- ports of large demands for financial accom- -1ONeACiiS oii tie part Ol lLe mercantile ln- terests in various parts of the country. pointing as they do to extremely active trade conditions, may perhaps explain the pre-occupation of the public, and its tenn porary indifference to the stock market There has appeared to be no evidence of bearish sentiment and manipulation of tha, kind has been confined to few specialties Tn which circumstances afforded opportuni- ty for such manueverng
 At the same time the response of the mar ket to succession of favorable develop- ments has been limited and hesitating, and the falling off in the volume of general transactions shows plainly that for the ti,ne being the market has been left to the trad CTS, and. that the latter are on the whole afraid to sell it short, while they cannot discern signs of the public interest ana support that would justify them in actively espousing the long side.
 The favorable outlook for the coal indrs- try Tn both its anthracite and bituminous branches accounted for the strength of ger tam securities in either group of the coal stocks. The street moreover was not to all appearances inclined to give much heed to representations that the trunk line rail- Tosus are unable to maintain recent ad- Vances in rates on grain and commodities or to the stock of the renewal of the trunk hne hostilities. On the other hand the con- fdnued favorable developments concerning the condition of steel and iron and the re- sufts to corporations based on them did not attract speculative support to any tangible extent.

 Pears was killed by sentinel as an in- cident to the close of revolution in Hon. duras. The government claims that he dis regarded the sentinel's challange to halt, but it appears that Pears was at considera- ble distance from the sentinel and he could not understand the challenge, and that he was killed out of bounds, so to speak, and unwarrantably in the opinion of the state department. It appears the indemnity will be about $10,0 900.

BRADsrREET,s REVIEW

New York, February 23-Bradstreets re- view of the state of trade will say
 General distributed trade is of set factory volume, though affected by weather condi- tforfs and holidays. Spring business is en- aarging at many markets east and west, the presence of buyers being encouraged Dy special passenger rates.
 A so6tening of prices of speculatively dealt in staples is eo be noted, but the re- actions are of narrow extent Money is steady as a whole and no higher than a week ago. Bank clearance comparisons are rather less favorable, partly because of this pronounced speculative activity at this time last year. Gains in railway earnings for the first two weeks of February are of absolutely phenomenal proportions but it must be remembered that there were ex- eaotonally severe weather conditions ex- peHienced last year. That railroad rates are being badly cut is confidently asserted. The earnings of sixty roads for the second week of February aggregate s7,941, ,000, an increase of 30.4 per cent. over the same period a year ago. Business as a whole continues on a large scale, encouraging alike to dstrHbu- tors and consumers.
 Foreign demand for wheat remains small, American stocks are large farmers are re- ported holding supplies back, and crop dam age scares are discounted by mild weather. The strength of corn has been a feature, foreign demand being of good proportions, and this has furnished a supporting ele- ment in the wheat market High prices for flax seed are expected to encourage the planting of much land ordinarily devoted to spring wheat in the northwest
 There is a larger volume of business in pig iron al some markets but less at others, and prices of that product are quite steady. The floating of the new sheet combination has imparted strength to that branch of trade. Heavy engagements of steel billets are announced which have relieved the pressure in that line somewhat.
 Structural iron continues active, indicat- ing heavy building operations this spring and summer. Copper is quieter but steady in price, and tin notes a further advance in sympathy with foreign speculation Hard ware Is strong at the west.
 Business failures for the week number 163. as compared with 199 a week ago, and 220 in this week a year ago. .

Oklahoma City April 0.--W.F. Harm
hadpg just returned from Washing

following interview on oklahoma mat
ters was had.
"What do you think Of the pros
poets for the early passage Of the free
homes bill, was asked him.
"The free homes bill is almost Ger
tain 70 pass, but there is much hard
work to be performed before IL be-
comes law. The great difficult. hss
been for Mr.. Flynn TO get the Sreal,r
er TO fix date upon which Il N'D
can be considered by the houAe.
Speaker Henderson has given Flynn
assurance that he will have date. but
no definite time has been agreed on !"
"What about statehood?"
"There will be no statehood this
session. II looks very much, however
as II congress would give us statehood
at the next session"
"You are credited with having been
the cause OF the passage of the resolu-
tion asking that all the papers and
charges against Governor Barnes be
sent by the secretary Of the interior to
the senate. Have you anything to
say on the subject?"

found the parachute tied, but rather
think that after getting up In the
clouds q mile or two further from
where left the balloon the governor
was dropped out OF the basket with
out parachute at all. am also In
clined TO think there are no more par
achutes ia the balloon and there are
still one or two occupants. As the
balloon is still going higher another
fall without parachute would be
rather disastrous. Such q tumble is
liable TO occur. Fortunately my par
achute opened before got to the
ground, as will appear little later
on.
