CHUM MAY NEVER ENTER GERMANY.
OBJECTS TO APOLOGY.
The Kaiser May Deprive Ceremony Of Humll-
iating Character and Return Full

II Is very doubtful. according to II
dispatch 10 the Lokal Anzciger, Ber-
lin, from Basel Switzerland, whether
Prince Chun will 20 to Berlin to make
formal apology for the murder of Bar
on Won Kctteler Members of the eX-
piatory mission shy: "Undcr present
conditions we can never go to Berlin.
We would rather die than accept
them" Ii appears that they object
particularly to Prince Chun's attend
ants prostrating themselves before
Emperor william. inasmuch as this Is
n special honor reserved for the EN-
peror of China, and would involve
q recognition of the Kaiser's equality.
The following information Is given
regarding Prince Chun's speech to the
Kaiser. Prince Chun intended to say:
THE Chinese government regrets that
Baron Won Kettcler was killed." but
the Berlin government dictated the fol-
lowing form: The Chinese govern
ment begs pardon for the murder of
the German minister, Baron Won Ket
teller" The Chinese In Basel are try
ing to give the case international Inn
portance by emphasizing the fact that
one of the dignltarles selected for
prostratlon was made n baronet by
Queen Victoria. while another has the
cross of the Legion of Honor. 1t Is
alleged that Emperor William Is de.
termlned the protocol shall be signed
before he receives Prince Chun. and
that he Will insist upon an apology for
the murder of Baron Won Ketteler
Beyond that, however, the ceremony
of reception will be deprived of ev-
crything of humillating character,
full honors being rendered to Prince
Chun. as a brother of Emperor Kwang
Su, on his way to the palace.

MARKED imp ROvEMENT.
The Business Sky Almost Clear-Phenomena,
Shipment Of Wheat Abroad-Pessl.
mlstlo Predictions Not Verified

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says:
Even In cotton goods. which have
been the slowest to respond TO the
vigorous tone of domestic trade, the
past week has brought distinct i'm
provement. Pressure at Fall River be-
ing removed, the print cloth market
became strong, while in the bleached
goods division gains were still more
pronounced. Somewhat lower quota
tlons for wheat are not surprising. in
view of the general tendency to in
crease estimates of the crop far be-
yond the quantity indicated by official
figures Of condition. Another weak
ening influence Is the slight decline of
exports below the record-breaking
movement in the first two weeks of
August. Shipments for the week.
however. were still phenomenal. ag-
gregating 6,307.302 bushels, compar-
ed with 2.S04, ,587 last year. and 3.1I9,-
917 in 1899. These figures of exports
omit the movement from Canada
ports, usually included in other re-
ports, and causing confusion as to the
actual state Of domestic affairs. With
yield of 50.O00,000 bushels in Mani
toba. these shipments from the domin-
ion are falling little short of 100000
bushels weekly. Corn Is stubbornly
firm, though Atlantic exports for the
week were but 407 $40 bushels, against
2,S67, ,157 bushels a year ago. and t.
07S,605 bushels In 1899. while Western
receipts were 3,424, $50 bushels. COM
pared with 2,123,S17 bushels last year,
indicating that farmers are content to
market their surplus at current prices.
The month ends with n horizon that
Is almost clear, and each day resump-
ton Of work at an idle mill adds to
the productive capacity. while cancel
ed orders for merchandise from deal
ers in the drought section are rapidly
reinstated. After many years Of
steadily increasing prosperity the
farming population can face moderate
losses with equanimity. Jobbers and
manufacturers report that orders for
fall goods have exceeded any pre-
vious year, with noticeable demand
for the better grades. and there is d
definite measure of active trade in
bank exchanges in New York. TAO per
cent larger than In the same week last
year, and 20.4 above 1890, while at
other leading cities the increase Is 38.3
and 20 per cent respectively. Although
scarcity of freight cars holds back a
large tonnage railway earnings thus
far reported for August show a gain
Of III per cent over last year and
23.8 over 1890.
Quotations Of steel products are still
nominal owing to the difficulty exper
| fenced In securing prompt delivery. Il
Is estimated that not more than 20 per
cent Of the steel company's capacity
has been stopped by the strike and
this proportion daily decreases.
