On the Berlin Bourse.

Berlin, May 12.-Throughout last week the German bourses studied the Wall street situation with the most intense in terest, but with great reserve and in ex pectation of a crash. The Frankfurter Zeitung now remarking that 'the direct interest of German speculation in Ameri- can securities is at present not great, and German bankers have largely reduced their American holdings of late" Never theless, the paper admits the events in Wall street have caused anxiety in this country, because a reaction has been feared upon European markets. Tn com mon with the Berlin Tageblatt, and oth- CT representative journals the Frankfur- ter Zeitung interprets the experience of Wall street during the week as showing the evils of cash settlements, arguing that such wild fluctuations would have been impossible if sales for future deliv- cry existed.
 Argentines were strong upon President Pocas' message to the Argentine Con- gress with the announcement of the un- ification plan. Chinese securities profited from the improved prospects of the Chi

London. May 12.-During the last week the attention of the Stock Exchange has been so absorbed in Americans that little has been done in other markets to which notice can be called. While the storm of excitement was tremendous, 1t was soon seen that the worst was over. Good buying followed, whereupon the feeling was much improved The close in Amerl- cans was quiet and fairly firm. but below the level of New York. There still exists some uneasiness regarding the settle ment, especially of Northern Pacific, in spite of the fact that this stock closed 35 points up at 1701h. which Is TO above the last quotation.
 The record of the quotation fluctuations during the last week Is practically use- less. as these have been so abnormal that they furnish little valuable indication of conditions.

BigeloW on Ship Subsidies.

Since the Senate failed to act on the ship subsidy bill at the last session of Congress the opponents of the measure have asserted with great confidence that the scheme Is dead Whether 1t is or not, Poultney Bigelow's treatment of the question in his new book on colonization, Children of the Nations (McClure, Phillips & Co.), will command attention. In the chapter on "The Philosophy of 7Colonization'> he says:
 "The great steamship lines from Ger many to New York naturally rejoice in the prospect of heavy subsidies, but no government subsidies can outweigh for a moment the solid advantages arising from free intercourse with ports like New York and Boston, the river Plate and Hong Kong. The German government can by a heavy subsidy produce a steamship line between Kiao Chow and Shanghai but the German taxpayers must make up to the owners of that line what they lose by embarking in an enterprise devoid of legitimate freight returns. Trade follows the flag is one of those half truths cal culated to do much mischief. It suggests the plausible idea that we buy our goods on sentimental and not on business prin- ciples. In real life we do no such thing. We do not buy our groceries from the shop nearest to us if there is one further off which gives us better value for our money. We do not cross the ocean in the ships of our nationality if there are oth- CTS who do the service as we'll and for less money. German ships leave New York loaded with American passengers and they return from Australia and Hong Kong crowded with British. If trade fol- lowed the flag, passenger trade would be the first to prove 1t, but it does not"

 prise Under Consideration

At the regular meeting of the Birming- ham Trades Council yesterday afternoon the question of a labor temple came up for further consideration The special committee appointed at a previous meet ing to investigate and report on the ad- visibility of the council undertaking the building of a temple submitted its re- port which was in substance that a site could be secured and building erected near the business center of the city for about $25, GOO. This report was received and another committee, consisting of F. H. Moore, J. J. Pagan and Len Teal ap- pointed to take up the question of hnanc- ing the enterprise. It was ascertained by the old committee that sufficient amount of money could probably be raised with which to pay for the lot and that bonds could be placed for funds sufficient to pay for the building. The committee will make it's report at the first meeting of the Trades Council in June.
 Credentials were received and accepted from the following eelegates w. A. liar ris and w. H. Gordon. vice L. J. Tool and T. S. Pylant of the Amalgamated Wood workers, No. 127.

HANNA AS A CANDIDATE.
From the Boston Herald.

From the bOSIOn tfeTaJO.
 MT. Hanna has never been looked upon as one who would make what is termed popular candidate. Long before he came prominently upon the stage of national politics he was desirous of political pref erment. and would have been satisfied to be elected Congressman to represent the Cleveland district. But it is a significant fact that. in spite of ambition and eff fort, he could not induce the local rep resentatives of his party to give him their support, the reason being that they felt that if he received Congressional nom ination, it would probably lead to local Republican defeat. MT Hanna gained his great national ascendency by working for another rather than for himself. and his choice as Senator was not the result of a popular election, but the outcome of po- Iitical manipulation. No one questions the wonderful business ability of this Ohio iron master. business ability which, interjected into politics. has pro- duced results which may be fairly de- scribcd as startling. But every one has recognized that his methods are those of the market, entirely unqualified or to any degree idealized by sentiment or dis interested conviction. He stands before the American people as the personal em- bodiment of aggressive, successful wealth, gaining its end by It's keen abil- fty, its indomitable energy, and, it must be added, it's unscrupulousness as to means.

It is only when the laws of nature have been violated, lowering the vitality developing weak spot, fore ing some of the organs to lag behind or causing impure blood that disease ven lures forth to attack; it is only then it can gain foothold.

Manchester Market.

Manchester. May 12.-The predominant feature of the past week has been the decline in cotton, the effect of which has been to hamper the cloth sellers. Not withstanding a lster improvement most of the departments report unsatisfactory business, although there is fair inquiry. The lack of a workable demand Is disap- pointing. The feeling prevails that rair business would probably be transacted at the present level of values should great stability develop. There were con- siderable number of offers for fabrics from India, but the results were disap- pointing. Options were given to the China trade on some sales of the better grades of shirtings at low rates. Yarns were quiet.
 The fall in cotton caused buyers to hes itate and they only placed such orders as were necessary for early delivery.
