Manila. P. l., May 1.
Editors Messenger:
After a very pleasant voyage of 4,S46
miles from Honolulu, the Grant reach
ed here yesterday about moor with all
on board well. Nc accident to ship or
person, neither any sickness to amount
to much happened on this long trip.
A stop of nearly one day and night
was made at Guam island, and many
of US went ashore and out abou five
miles to Agana, the capital, and only
town Of much size on the island. The
road We travelled was in splendid con-
dition, and the high hills and noun
tains on one side and the ocena on the
other, and through a grove of beauti-
full palms and other kinds of tropical
growth nearly the entire distance,
made the scenery exceedingly beauti-
full and interesting. The road was lined
with native huts, matched rooted,
mostly, nearly all the way, and the ma
tives seemed glad to see uss. When 1
stepped ashore it reminded me that I
was for the first time on a part of our
newly-acquired territory from Spain,
and many thoughts came to mind in
regard to it, of which 1 need not speak
here. Governor Leary came aboard of
the ship and spent several hours. Let
tiers reached him on the Grant, notify
ing him that he had been relieved ac-
cording to his request and also told
him who his successor would be. His
proclamations issued from time to
time and posted conspicuously all
about, were interesting reading. He
said he banished every priest but one
from the island for their gross immor-
atty and their opposition to his re-
form movements etc.
The most interesting part of our trip
from Guam was 292 miles through San
, Bernardino strait, the entire distance
across the Islands to Manila. 1t was
( Sunday and a beautiful day and land
| was in sight on both sides of us nearly
| all the time. We passed Mount Bulu-
son, an active volcano, on our right
soon after entering the strait. Many
Filipino villages and towns could be
seen from the ship, and sailing boats
and sometimes steamers could be seen
in the distance.
On entering Manila bay the noted
C~orregidor island was passed and then
soon Cavite, near where the Spanish
fleet vas knocked under by Dewey,
and Manila was sighted and soon was
reached. The bay near the city was
almost crowded with lare ships of
different kinds, and many small ones
| were passing to and fro, making the
scene a grand one.
l am writing this at the Occidental
hotel, my present stopping place, and
will have to give you something about
the city, etc, in another letter, but
will say that as far as / have seen, it
is exceedingly interesting.
The weather is almost un~bearable,
it is so hot. Soldiers are plentiful and
marching to and fro all the time. The
Manila Freedom, The Manila Times,
and The American are the papers 1
have seen so far. The Times has more
press news than the others, and has
an evening edition.
The transport Meade sails for San
Francisco, it is said, today. She will
carry this letter. 1t is understood that
General Otis will sail on her.
Respectfully yours,

added to the downward tendency.
Without any material reaction, De-
cember declined to 72Ac. where the
market on an export demand steadied
and rallied fractionally, December clos
ing &c under the previous session at
72kc. The seaboard reported 81 loads
taken for export and sales to the other
side from here were reported at 316,O0O
bushels. Seaboard clearances in wheat
and -four were equal to 1913, 900 bushels.
Primary receipts aggregated 905, 900
bushels, compared with $4,000 bush
els last year. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 563 cars, against 657 last week
and CAB a year ago. Local receipts
were 142 cars, nine of contract grade.
Corn was easy, influenced by the
pressure Of new corn, prospects for the
early movement of which seemed un-
usually bright, by the wheat weakness,
Indifferent cables and slow business in
a shipping way. Nearby options were
noticeably weaker. Country offerings
were light, but there was plenty for
sale in the pit and the local crowd fur
nished a very poor brand of support.
December sold between 35h@34Bc,
closing h@Ac down at 34B@35c. Re-
ceipts were 1923 cars.
Oats were dull and neglected. Ac-
ceptances were light and there was
only a moderate movement from ship

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, October z6.-R. q.
Dun & Company's Weekly Review OF
Trade tomorrow will say:
The elections mean a great deal to
all business interests, and, although
confidence In the future is seen on ey-
cry hand, it is but natural that men
do n0t care to take unnecessary
chances, and therefore delay new en-
gagements as far as possible until after
the ballots are counted. But contracts
for steel rails for the season thus far
are within $4,000 tons OF last years
heavy bookings, and the confidence in
an ultimate marked Improvement is SO
strong that all raw materials are firm
and without any speculative activity
to stimulate them. The agitation Tor
an advance in billets, though a small
one, is an indication of what the iron
and steel markets expect in the next
six months and in the great industries
sellers OF material could easily make
heavy contracts if they cared to attach
political provisions TO their arguments.
However unreasonable fears may be,
it is likely to be better for business in
the long run that conservative ideas
for the present are entertained. The
weather over a great part OF the coun-
try has been favorable for agricultural
operations which are progressing well
and in the East>the unreasonable tenn
psrature has retarded general trade
comparatively little, as there has been
no great stimulus yet this season.
Conditions in the iron and steel mar
ket steadily improve; orders gradually
swell in volume and buyers make less
effort to secure concessions. In most
cases quotations are not altered, but
there is an advance to $40 at Phila-
delphia for billets, owing to the better
business in rails. Pig iron moves free
ly, especially at Chicago, where man
ufacturers have contracted heavily for
finished stuff in excess of raw mater
ial IN hand. Cast iron pipe is in ur-
gent demand and new plans for ship
building will take plate. Bridge build
ers are buying structural forms heav-
lily. Makers of rails and other pro-
ducts of iron have been accused of
quoting better terms to foreign than
to domestic buyers. II this Is done, it
would seem to be the manufacturers
affair rather than the newspapers. Mi
nor metals are quiet, except for fur
Their weakness in tin. Silver has reach
ed the highest price in four years.
Failures for the week were POS in
the United States, against 1870 last
year. and % in Canada against % last
year.

count for the rise. The fall in the
call money rate to 26c and the manifest
relaxation in the pressure to realize,
encouraged the advance. Preliminary
estimates of the weeks cash changes
by the banks promise a large decline
in cast reserves. Operations with the
sub-treasury offered lne greatest inter-
est. Deposits of cash with this insti-
tuition for transfer to the interior have
been much smaller this week than last.
On the other hand, there have been
payments of drafts on account Of gold
deposited at Pacific coast points, and
the portion of the gold imports which
came as bars have been paid for at
the assay Office.
Nevertheless, the sub-treasury has
absorbed from the banks during the
week no less a sum than $3.50, 900.
The shipments Of currency by express
to the interior are believed to have
been less than a million dollars, but
the decline in cash reserves seems GER
tainly to have reached a total Of So

market relieved apprehension and sug-
gested the inference that the banks
must have further contracted their
loans so as to reduce the reserve re-
q~uirements during the week. Only
about 1900, 900 of gold of the $11, 000,-

in time to figure in the statement, the
balance being in transit.
