GENERAL REVIEW OF WEEKS TRADE
Steel Strike Has Affected Prices
 Extensively in All Lines
BIG ADVANCE IN TIN PLATE
Blllets are at Premium, But Conf dence Is Steadily Shown by Plac- ina Orders for Distant Dellv-
 cries at Regular Prices.

New York. August 16.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 The distribution of merchandise has pro- ceeded this week on a steady and satis- factory scale throughout the West and Southwest, and the relief from the long drouth and heat Is beginning to be re- flected in a large retail trade so that for the quarter, promise Is held out of larger business than last year. Crop con- ditions in the territory most affected by the recent drouth are improving and the weather has been highly favorable in nearly all districts east of the Missouri river, though rains have interrupted the spring wheat harvest
 The steel strike has affected prices ex- tensively, particularly on sales of imme- diate delivery, In tin plates the advance has been greatest while hoops, sheet skelp and billets are sold at premiums. Quotations are too cratic for accurate records, and in many cases sales are at private terms. Confidence is steadily shown by placing of distant deliveries at regular prices. Consumption has un- doubtedly been further curtailed this month, but a revival of export tends to prevent accumulation.
 New England boot and shoe factories are still actively engaged and the stabil- sty of prices remains a feature
 New York and Western shops are equal ly busy, jobbers complaing of slow deliv- cries. This Is the season of greatest de- ovd fnr opl ie ir xn0I, of business, but each year a decrease in output appears.
 Leather sells freely, but without change in price, while slightly lower bids for hides will probably secure large lots Woolen mills have full employment, as a rule, and the increased consumption of raw material tends to harden the tone of the wool market although no quotable change Is possible. Official figures of con ditions were far more hopeless than even the most pessimistic anticipations, indi- eating about two billion bushels of wheat and corn ogether. Inflated prices brought out receipts for the week of 2,359, ,705 bush els against 2,032, ,193 last year, and reduced Atlantic exports to 631 506 bushels, com pared with 2,362, ,335 a year ago and 4034,- BOP in 1899. Wheat also advanced sharply but there is sound argument for strength In Atlantic exports during the last two weeks of 13 ,579 ,034 bushels, agains 4,37S, ,901 in 1900 and 4,S66, 646 two years ago. Cotton prospects have materially i'm proved and with average weather durine 1 the next few weeks there Is reason
 expect a yield equal to, If not larger than the one preceding. Picking will b, about three weeks later than usual ant the high wages and scarcity of labor ma. | cause some loss. Financially the Soutl
 is in better position than ever before planters have more crop than usual ant the banks will not draw on New Yorl l as heavily as heretofore.
 Failures for the week numbered 16S ii the United States against 161 last year and 19 in Canada, against 24 last year.

MORE IMPERIALISM.

President Mckinley wants a
standing army of 10000 men.
He has just been authorized to in
crease the army to 100, 900. Unless
conditions in the Philippines change
materially he intends to ask the Fiji
ty-seventh Congress, which will
assemble in special session some
time in April and in regular session
next December, for so, 900 more.
His reason will be that officers and
men cannot stand more than two
years of service in the Philippines
without serious injury to health,
and the extra men are needed to
keep the forces in those islands at
full strength.
The Military Committee of the
House and Senate have already dis.
cussed this proposition informally.
Even the Republicans admit
privately that it will be necessary
TO keep great army in the Philip
pines for years TO come. After a
service Of two years in the tropics
an army becomes inefficient.
Officers and men cannot stand the
hard work. Under the new law
about 10000 men can be kept in
the Philippines, and the remaining
10000 are TO be scattered through
out this country, Porto Rico,
Cuba, Hawaii and Alaska.
The Republican members of the
House Committee on Military
Affairs do not relish the problem
they will have to face in the next
Congress, for most Of them have
been reelected and viii undoub..
cdly go back on the committee.
The Republican majority in the
next House will be about forty.fyc
Any sort Of a measure can be pass
cd. Already Democrats have de.
cidcd that when this matter of
giving the President 1900 more
men comes up they will walk out Of
Che House and let the majority do
as wills.

TO ARMS!

barred my heart unto my Love
In letter most impassioned,-
This is the answer that she sent,
OF doubtful phrases fashioned:
only dancing eye hath taught YOU
love?
Then say | without scruple.
The apple of my eye you are,
For are you not my pupil7
But yet believe the solemn truth
OF this my final answer
Unless you shall resort to arms.
You may not have my hand, sir {"

With triumph strife-engendered;

The citadel surrendered.
