ANOTHER RAISE REPORTED.

Demand S337 100000.

The efforts of the United States to
keep the Powers from demanding that
China pay an enormous money in

missioner Rockhill has advised the
state Department that the aggregate
of the minimum demands of the ma
tions participating in the Peking trou-
bles reaches the enormous total of
S33I 100000. This is $14,O00,OO0 higher
than reported by former dispatches.
1t is S6i,OOO.0OO higher than the limit
of 1,365,00O,0O0 francs first reported
from the French Foreign Office. and
Sl3I 100000 higher than the United
States set the limit. Nobody dares
guess how much higher il will be the

practically forced TO the conclusion
that 1t will be impossible To get any
reduction. He has no hope of Undue

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Legitimate Business In Very Prosperous
Condition-WaII Street Flury Causes
Little or no Harm.

II. G. Dun & Cos weekly Review
of Trade" says: A panic in Wall
street does not mean that legitimate
business has suddenly ceased to pros
per, nor is the condition of merchan-
tile trade and manufacture adversely
aeffcted by violent change in prices
of securities. Throughout the entire
country fundamental conditions were
never so sound as at the present time,
reports from nearly every city this
week showing an exceptional volume
of transactions and payments prompt
ly met. Production is not overtaking
demand at the finished steel mills, and
all Pittsburg plants are two months
behind orders, while 80 days Is the
limit at many. Although the expect
ed advance in bar iron did not appear.
the tone continues firm and orders
are liberal. Billets remain at the top
point for prompt delivery, but reason
able terms are available on forward
contracts. In structural shapes and
railway equipment there Is all the
business that makers desire, and no
effort Is made to secure additional or
ders. Less urgency Is recorded In pig
iron market, but buyers do not find
terms more satisfactory. and forge and
foundry iron Is rather more firmly
held. Although the total number OF
furnaces in blast on May ! was 40
smaller than on February l, 1901. the
weekly capacity was 301.125 tons.
which exceeds all previous high-water
marks. The activity of steel manu-
featuring Is emphasized by the de-
crease of 34.270 tons in furnace stocks
during April, despite the unparalleled
production.
Corn eased off few cents. but Is
| still about 10 cents bushel, or nearly
% per cent above the quotation at
| the corresponding date in the two pre-
| ceding years. Western operators con-
| tinue to entertain strong views, and
appear little daunted by the larger re-
celpts to interior cities by the unusual
| ly profitable prices offered. For the
week arrivals aggregated 3,2iI ,O94
| bushels. against 2.196.202 bushels last
year. Foreign purchasers have been
| driven out of the domestic markets by
! the high quotations, and Atlantic ex-
| ports for the week have been 1.2i1 .244
bushels. compared with 3,T09,S
bushels a year ago. Failures for the
week numbered 1877 in the United
States, against 1872 last year. and 26
in Canada, against 10 last yer.

 It had been a narrow escape but the squall had not yet spent it's force and the strain on the mast and gear for the next five minutes was something ter rife. Standing on the slanting deck was impossible without holding onto something. By the advice of John lily slop, the measurer of the New York
 Yacht club and the first American yachtsman who has sailed on the
 Shamrock, Mrs. w. G. Jameson went
 below when the squall struck so as to
 be clear of the gear if anything had
 carried away The others remained on
 deck, hanging on to the weather rail
 until the meight of the squall had pass
 ed. Then a couple of men were sent
 aloft to place the Huff of the gaff top
 sail of the mast. Then the Lawrence
 passed the wacht line, the mainsail
 was lowered and the yacht made fast to her moorings at 2:30.
 Before the challenger was made fast Sir Thomas Lipton was alongside in
 his launch from the Erin. Springing on deck he anxiously inquired of MT. Watson if anything had given way during the squall. Upon being told that nothing was damaged he was much pleased and complinlented Cap tain Sycamore on his handling of the boat.
 When seen a few moments later on board the Erin by an Associated Press representative Sir Thomas said: NO big sloop was ever subjected to such an awful strain as that. I have MT. Hyslop's words for it, and Captains Walker and Hall of the revenue cutters Gresham and Chase, both of whom have been about forty years at sea say they never saw a vessel behave as splendidly, in such blow. For few moments we were afraid she would run aground. We went out to stretch a new mainsail and we've done it, haven't we?"
 MT. Jameson and Mir. Watson are much pleased with the yachts behavior under such trying circumstances.
