some of the points of advantage in this
respect.

THE HOME CIRCLE.
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR VISITORS
IN BUFFALO,.

HOTELS, BOARDING AND BOOMING
HOUSES. BESIDES MANY PRIVATE
HOMES, ON THE LIST.
So much has been said and written
about the ability of the City of Buffalo
to care for the crowds which will attend
the Pan-American Exposition this
summer, that a few facts and figures
will be appreciated by the general pub
lie.
In the first place there are listed
more than two hundred hotels which
will give accommodation to thirty
thousand people; there are six hundred
and fifty boarding and rooming houses
affording accommodation for eighteen
thousand five hundred, while seven
thousand owners of houses, most of
whom never hung out their latch
string for consideration, have signi-
fed their intention of opening their
houses for the accom- mediation of WISH
tors to Buffalo this summer. These
seven thousand homes will accom-
modate at least one hundred thousand
visitors.
The Exposition Company has ar
ranged to furnish tent accommodate
tion on the Exposition ground for two
hundred and fifty uniformed men.
There are also two companies arrang-
ing tent systems which will afford adj
ditional accommodation outside of the
grounds to fifteen hundred or more.
In addition to all this there are
large number of buildings throughout
the city now being remodeled and con-
verified into hotels, the plans of which
are not far enough along to afford an
accurate description or to estimate
accommodation at the present time.
1t is safe to estimate the present capa
city of the City of Buffalo to accommo-
date one hundred and fifty thousand
strangers. To this may be added &C
commodations for at least fifty thous-
and in the surrounding towns such as
Tonawanda, La Sale, Niagara Falls,
Lockport, Williamsville, Gardenville,
Depew and Lancaster, all within a
short trolley ride of the city.
Rates in hotels range from ST. per
day upward. AS ridiculous stories
have been circulated in regard to ex-
orbitant hotel rates it is well to note
the rates that have been established
at the Iroquois, the most expensive
hotel in the city, these are for one in
a room, without bath, So and upward:
for two in room without bath, S. and |
upward: thus making the minimum
rate $3.50 per individual. The rates
for a room with bath for one person,
IS or for two in a room $3.50. This is !
on the European plan. OF course
there are room and suites of rooms in
this hotel for much higher rates for
thOselwho wish to pay them, but the
prices here given are the highest in
the city for hotel accommodations as
The term is ordinarily understood.
The Broezel after May l, will charge
from 81 to S., with two or more in a
room; this rate is strictly on the Amer
can plan. Meals at this hotel are 75c
each.
The Genesee will charge from 50 up
ward on the European plan.
Rates at the Mansion House, on the
European plan, will be from 1.5O per
lay upward, with two in a room.

Our Colonial Policy.

Washington, Feb. l0.-Consideration of
the diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill in the house Saturday developed some
thing of a sensation when Representative
Brown of Ohio, standing in the center of
the republican side of the chamber, made
a speech strongly condemning a colonial
policy and urging that congress should
at once give assurances to the Filipinos
that the purpose of the United States was
to give them independence. His announce
ment that he would advocate a resolution
to this effect was loudly applauded, partic-
ularly on the democratic side, and at the
close of the speech many of his republican
associates crowded about him and congrat-
ulated him. Representative Miers of In
diana and Dinsmore of Arkansas also
spoke on the Philippines.

R. G. Dun G. Co.'s Review of Trade
for last week says:
More seasonable weather in the east
brought up the volume of business in
retail lines a little last week, and at the
west and south distribution of mer-
chandise is on satisfactory scale.
Price of staple products show only
moderate declines and quotations of
manufactured goods are steady in all
directions. Pressure to sell is every
where conspicuously absent. Jobbers
report good demand for spring goods,
particularly at western trade, and the
only complaint still comes from the
wooden goods market in the east, which
has not yet felt the expected stimulus.
In this line, however, prices do not
decline, and agents expect better con-
ditions.
Large operations in the stock of
leading steel companies do not affect
the volume of business or the prices of
their products as yet and will probably
have no material influence on the fu-
ture. Quotations will depend on the re-
lation of supply to demand, which at
present gives an undertone of great
strength. This is most evident in bill
let's, which can not be secured at the
pool price. While former quotations
are nominally in force, it would require
a material advance to secure contracts.
Structural forms are also in notably
brisk demand and it is impossible to
secure prompt delivery of any finished
steel at Pittsburg. Chicago makers al
so have orders far ahead and at all
leading points the placing of new bust
ness is limited to small contracts.
Bessemer pig is firm at the recent
advance to $3.50, although no large
sales are reported. Cut nails have fol-
lowed the lead of wire nails, advancing
50 per ton, while many other forms are
expected to be put on at higher level
when producers meet.
Wheat fell below soc, ample snow
affording the desired protection in win
ter wheat states, while the chief sup
port was a better inquiry in foreign
account, including moderate purchases
for Spain.
Atlantic exports for the week ,includ-
ing flour, were 2.S74,111 bushels,
against 2,247, 402 bushels in the week
preceding and 2,115,S75 bushels year
ago.
Failures for the week were 269 in
the United States, against 245 last year
and 80 in Canada, against 33 last year.
