vious eight years was little over @ nooo 900. The
number of municipalities issuing bonds during the
month was ia, emitting 131 separate issues, as
against 81 and 11s for January. 1900: and n3 ana
12S for February. 1899 There were but few sales
occurring during the month that warrant special
mention. There has been shown lately a tendency
among certain municipalities. particularly IN tne
Middle West, to try and float bonds bearing rate
of interest lower than the quoted basis OF such
securities on the market. The result of these ef-
forts has been anything but satisfactory to the m-
nicipaiity. In a few instances small lots OF per
cent bonds have been taken by local people at par
but in other cases commissions were demanded s
making in effect award at less than par Inc
result In the of Toledo was rather unfortunate
for award at par less a commission led TO ex-
penSive litigation and consdera bic DELAY. the mat
ter finally terminating in the city officials being
this II seems obviously better to have bond selling
on the market at premium rather than to have
low interest bearing securities quoted az discount
II is for this that many large cities con-
tnue to issue Sia per cent bonds. even when they
command such premiums would lower the basis
below per cent

CITY BOND SALES IN FEBRUARY.

The Financial Chronicles compilation Of mu-
nicipal bond sales In February is follows:
While the number of municipalities issuing bonds
during the month of February and the number of
separate issues emitted were greater than for
uary, yet the total amount involved in these sales
much smaller than that for the preceding
month. This of course. Is explained by the abb
sence OF such large issues of honds put
out during January. Our records show but S5,lS7.-

'Bradstreet's" says:


Stormy weather has retarded the development
of spring trade at many markets. interrupting
telegraph and railway communication and natu-
prices aggressive strength is still the feature of
the cotton and cotton goods market while metals
remain steady. Food products however, have
weakened and some raw materials, like wool and
hides. quotably lower. Bank clearings totals
and advices from dstributive markets point to the
aggregate actual business of the country as a
whole being equal to February a year ago, but
comparisons being made with a period one
year ago. when industrial hotations numer-
and large. render comparisons of Clearings
aggregates less favorable than last year while
still showing increases over corresponding periods
of 1898 and earlier years. Railway earnings re-
turns continue to reflect large gains over a year

THE soo-sEE oLows BAND,

One OF the most amusing Of the many
hilarious features Of the combined Adam
Forepaueh.S elis Brothers, shows is the
clown band 1t Is such q palpable bur.
lssque on the famous bandmaster, John
Philip Sousa, and his striking manner
isms, that II never falls to convulse the
audience. And no one enjoys this farclal
performance better than Mr.. Sousa him
self. He Witnessed an exhibition OF the
show during its engagement at the Madi-
son Square Garden, In New York City,
aud he laughed with great hsartiusss
over the funny antics OF the merry sons Of
Menus. The man who Initiated the great
bandmaster 10 q particularly fine cornst
glayer, especially 10 the manner OF triple.
%tongusing, and he was oompllmented by
Mr.. Sonsa for his skill. When the clown
band makes lite entrance the burlesqus on
Mr.. Soasa 10 instantly recognized. The
band opens with ems OF Mr.. Sousa's
famous marches, but it is played with
such a series OF strident discords that 1t
evokes roars OF laughter. The clown who
mimlcs 5ousa 10 perfect In his make up as
far as wigs, beard and costume can bring
about that result. He wears q cap. blue
military coat aud white duck Trousers.
iust as Mr.. Sousa docs. His walk, how
ever, is an exaggerated swagger, aud his
manner, when playing solo parts, extreme.
ly ridiculous.
Al the first shrill, tremulous blast from
his cornet the band assumes all kinds OF
grotesque attitudes, after having spread
themselves in q circle on the srage. At
the second blast, more sar-splltting than
the first, the band ~collapses; itrevivss In.
stantly and follows him through 4 mock
rapid time march.
Then one Of the players, made up TO re-.
semble q tramp, walks like . comic opera
tragedian to the front OF the stage and
plays "5ay Au Rsvoir, But Not FAREWELL
on q trombone a Ia Arthur Pryor. Al the
last note be coilapses and falls to the
stage on q sack which has been placed
there to receive him,
Immediately the band assemblies again,
and all hands 20 marching OF, playing
vigorously, but as dissordsntlyas before.
The effect 10 intensely funny. for It lie
done with great apparent seriousness.
All this good natursd fun Mr.. sousa
witnessed with great gles. The bit at
him was 30 well done, and wlthal so
amusingly, that the great band leader
could net help paying q tribute to the
merry men by saying:
SWELL done; the boys know their bust.
