Braustreets Report on tundlilons OF TRADE
Throughout the Country.
NEW YORK, April Bradstreet's
review Of trade says:
Cold, rainy weather, with its concom-
liant Of bad roads, has been unfavOrahlr
to distributive uade this week, special
complaint coming from the central ana
west and parts Of the northwest. \ sim
liar retarding fleet upon crop planting
is noted at the South, where cotton ana
corn cultivation and termination are re-
ported from one TO two weeks late With
these exceptions, however, trade develop
monts Of the week have been in the man
favorable.
The current large volume Of general
business and the enormous size of the
financial operations now proceeding are
reflected in record breaking clearings
nor confined, however to specul2 '~n cen
tiers, but reported from all sect the
country. Current gross raj 't 3r!incs
continue favorable, thou t.g "tio nt
gains is not as great as IN recr.yly p.e-
ceding weeks. Net earning are very
good and furnish ample bass fox some
excellent movements in securities. In
foreign trade the feature is the relatively
better position occupied by the agricul-
tural rather than the manufacturing, in
dustries now, as compared with year
ago. Practically all Of the SS7,0OO,0OO
increase in exports for nine months over
a year ago is accounted for by increased
shipments Of breadstuffs, cattle, provis-
ions and cotton, but manufactured goods.
| though going abroad in smaller volume
than a year ago, still maintain an ac-
tive movement.
There are few notable changes in
prices this week, cereals having fuctua-
ted within a narrow range. The feature
| in the iron trade aside from the contin-
ued actively and aggressive strength Of
prices. has been the apparent breaking
away of the strike clouds which have
menaced that industry.
Tnsatisfactory weather reports, heavy
| rains. high winds and cold retarding the
growth of vegetation, coupled with talk
of and some actual curtailment in New
| England and at the South, have ad-
vanced cotton, but the gain has been
small. yarge receipts acting as Il drug on

dent and cashier respectively Of the First

day night two miles from this city, by

ing lying togCther in a small clump Of
bushes. Both used the same weapon
and Candy evidently died first, as the
revolver was found in Browns hand.
Each put the muzzle Of the revolver in
his mouth and blew the top of his head
of.
The fact that Browns bicycle ana an
umbrella Of Canby's were found a short
distance ont Of town Saturday night led
to the belief that they had taken their
lives. \ searching party started out and
after several hours search the bodies
were found.
Candy, upon being told by Bank Ex-
aminer j. w. Maxwell on Friday even
ing that the bank would not be permit
ted TO open Saturday went out in he
yard behind the bank and attempted to
shoot himself, His revolver failed to
explode. After failing 20 shoot himself
Candy came back into the bank and he
and President Brown left together, TAX
ing his revolver. When Examiner Max
well confronted the bank officials with
the shortage OF SSl 900 both men ad-
mitted their guilt: 1t is s0id that Brown
and Candy had been speculating IN
stocks. Beside Browns body there were
found package containing $50 and a
note, saying that the moEey belonged
to his daughter Upon Canby's body The
following brief note was found:

EMERGING FROM FLOOD
Rivers Are Receding and Rain
Has Ceased Failing.

All Danger Has Been Passed In Pitts
burg aud Allegheny, But In the Ohio
Valley and West Virginia There Is
stiIl Cause For Alarm-Much Damage
Done.
PITTSBURG, April 23.-Thc flood is
over. Notwithstanding the fact that
early in the day there was every evil
dencc Of a renewal of the high water,
the announcement can be made authori-
tativcly that there is not the least IAN
ger OF another rise at this point hor
above for the present, but towns on the
Ohio river below here are not yet out Of
danger because Of rains in the valley
Sunday night and yesterday. All up
river points report the rain and snow
having ceased and the rivers falling.
The rivers above this city are down,
so that the works along the banks are
running. Tho food brought in much
slimy mud that it left when 1t
rcceded and it will require n day or two
to remove it frcm many Of the mills. IN
a number Of places the mud has clogg ID
mp the machinery, some Of which will
have 10 De taken away and be cleaned.
Carnegie borough is rapidly cleaning
up aud repairing bridges, houses and
roads that were destroyed when Char
tiers creek ran wild. he same state Of
affairs exists at McKecs Rocks and other
towns that the water reached.
The railroads have recovered remark
ably well from the effects Of the fool
and suowStorm and now the various
lines have resumed operations to all
points, but for several days no pretcn-
tion at running on schedule will be made.
In and about Pittsburg it will probably
take Si,OO0,o00 TO pay the total cost
Of the injury to property by the water
aud by land slips. Add to this the great
loss to the railroads and manufacturing
plants mp and down the rivers in this
immediate vicinity with the loss in wages
to the workinemen and the total will not
fall far short OF S2,OOO,OOO mark.
Most OF the water front mills and fac
tories are still idle and will he until the
mud is gotten out of the machinery AMI
water pumped out OF the pits.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The at.
tention of the United States supreme
court was given yesterday largely to the
question of the right Of one state to quar-
antine against another. The contention
arose in connection with the case of w.
p. Smith VS.. the st. Louis and Western
Railway company, involving quarantine
regulations against the importation Of
cattle in 1897. The trial court sustained
the regulations. but the state court Of
appeals reversed the decision, holding in
favor of the railroad company. Iester-
days opinion affirmed the latter decision
on the ground that the state had right,
under its police power, to protect itself
against infectious disease even though
commerce may be incidentally interfered
with by the regulations for such protec-
| ton.

Talks Like "A Patriot of the Glorious
Banner of the Sited States.
MANILA, Apr,l 2O.--The following is
Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino peO-
pie, made public last evening:
Il believe | am not in error in presum-
ing that the unhappy fate to which my
adverse fortune has led me is not sur
prise to those who have been familiar
with the progress Of the war. The les
sons taught with a full meaning, and
which have recently come to my knOwl-
edge, suggest with irresistible force that
a complete termination of hostiities and
lasting peace are not only desirable. but
absolutely essential to the welfare of the
Philippine islands.
THE Filipinos have never been dis
mayed at their weakness, nor faltered
in following the path pointed out by their
fortitude and courage. The time has
come however, in which they find their
advance along this path to be impeded
by an irresistible force which, while it
restraints them, yet enightens their minds
and opens to them another course, pre-
senting them the cause Of peace. This
cause has been joyfully embraced by the
majority Of my fellow countrymen who
have already united around the glorious
sovereign banner Of the United States.
In this banner they repose their trust
and believe that under its protection the
Filipino people will attain all those
| promised liberties which they are
ginning to enjoy. The country has de-
clared unmistakably in favor of peace.
| So be it. There has been enough blood.
enough tears and enough desolation.
| This wish cannot be ignored by the men
still in arms if they are animated by
desire to serve our noble people which
has thus clearly manifested its will. So
do | respect this will, now that it is
known to me.
after mature deliberation | resolute-
| ly proclaim to the world that | cannot
refuse to heed the voice Of people long
| ing for peace, nor the lamentations Of
| thousands Of families yearning to see
their dear ones enjoying the liberty and
the promised generosity of the great
| American nation.
"By acknowledging and accepting the
sovereignty of the United States through
out the Philippine archipelago, as l now
| do, and without any reservation whatso-
ever. | believe that | am serving thee.
my beloved country. May happiness be
thine"
To signalize this important step in the
pacifcation of the country General Mac
Arthur orders the release on swearing al
legiance to the United States of 1000 in
surgent prisoners.
