GENERAL TRADE REPORT.
Demand in Agricultural implements Mo-
tabls-Corn Active and Wheat In Better
Export Demand Steel Advanced.

New York, March -Bradstreet's
says: A rather more cheerful tone
Is apparent in general trade and the
close Of the first quarter Of the year
finds the business world contemplate
ing total trade for that period in
many cases in excess of all preceding
periods, while the future, with some
exceptions, is viewed with apparent
confidence. All lines of builders hard
ware note continued or growing activ-
ity. The demand in the latter line
and in agricultural implements at the
west is, in fact, most notable.
Cotton goods are weaker and the
outlook is for curtailment Of produc.
ton OF finished products. Good au-
thorities at the south, however, don't
think, that any curtailment of cotton
acreage from last years aggregate
is probable, although the recent drop
will, it is thought, help to discourage
planting on some land. In line with
this are reports that considerable Or
ders for fertilizers have been cancelled.
There is a little more doing in the
cereals this week, corn being especial
ly active and in the hands of bull
clique has advanced to above so cents.
Wheat has been In better export de-
mand and strengthened slightly in
sympathy with the coarser grain.
Iron and steel have made steady
progress alike in the volume of sales
and in the matter of price. The long
expected advance in structural mate
rial came this week, with a gain of 80
to 81 in beams, channels and similar
products. Other finished products
are active and strong.
Failures for the week number 1S9,
as against s31 last week, 17S in this
week year ago, 1870 in 1899, 226 in
1898 and PIP in 1897.

MANCHURIAN CONVENTION.
China Refuses to Sign 1t and Russla's d.

Itself--A Coal Concession.

London, April 2.--Dr. Morrison, wir.
ing to the Times from Pekin, March
rs, says "The Yangtse viceroys have
carried the day. Ii Hung Chang, who
wired Tuesday urging Emperor
Kwang Su to reconsider his decision,
received an answer that the thrones
decision, in the presence of the unani-
nous advice of the chief provincial
officials, was irrevocable and that the
Manchurian convention could not be
signed. Russia's cynical and bold d.
,lomacy appears for once to have over
reached itself"
The Daily Express says: IAN Eng
fish 'Pekin syndicate with some Ital-
ian fnanciers, has secured a conces-
sion in the form Of a lease of $1,000
square miles of territory in the prov
lnce of Shansi and Honan, rich in

Peculiar Conditions Prevailing In the suiu

mao 80 Multiplicity Of Races and
Tribes-FilipInos Surrender.

Washington, April 2. -Opinion at the
war department is not favorable to
the hasty reduction Of the regular
forces in the Philippines, nor to the
relaxation Of efforts to raise the regu-
lar army to the limit Of 100000 men,
authorized by the reorganization bill.
It is the intention Of Secretary Root to
establish complete civil government
under the commission headed by
Judge Taft on the first day Of July
next. The military forces will then
become subordinate to the civil au-
thority, but they will be needed as
an impressive object lesson to the
natives Of the power of the United
States, and even more, perhaps, for
the defense Of American interests on
the Asiatic continent, in case troubles
again break out in China or DISPOSE
ton is shown by Russia to disregard
the faith of her treaties and her re-
cent pledges. Officers who have been
in the Philippines believe that at
least 10000 soldiers should remain
there for many years to come. In this
total may be included several regi-
ments of Filipinos under the author
ity given to the president in the army
reorganization bill to enlist 10000
such troops, if thought desirable. The
force to be maintained in the Philip
pines will not be. regulated purely by
the necessity for local garrisons, but
by the position of the United States
as q world power.
A dispatch was received yesterday
from Gen. Macarthur stating that the
transport Wyefeld arrived at Manila,
March 2s, and the Ping Suey, March
20. Several asterisks used at the bot
tom Of the dispatch indicate that it
contained other information which
the department did not care to make

omitted portion related to Aguinaldo.
One Government for Many Islands.
Aamboanga, Island of Mindanao,
April lowing to the peculiar con-
ditions prevailing in the Sulu archi-
pelago and the island Of Mindanao,
the Philippine commission has about
decided to organize departmental
government covering all of the is
lands south of Visayas. A uniform
general provincial law is impossible
of application in the extreme south
ern islands on account of the neces-
sary debarrng of the Moros from self
government, except in cases where
they have foresworn allegiance to
Dattos, the sultan, and become sub
jects of the United States, and for the
further reason of the multiplicity of
races and tribes in Mindanao, and the
diversity of interests. The commits
sion will appoint department gov
ernor, having authority to negotiate
with the sultan, Dattos, and to act
as direct representative of the COM
mission.
