GROWING TRADE WITH SPAIN.
Consul General at Barcelona Favors a
Permanent Exposition.

Spain holds no prejudice against United
States goods, according to an extract from
the annual volume, entitled Commercial
Relations of the United States" which has
just been made public at the State Depart
ment by Mr.. Frederic Emory, chief of the
bureau of foreign commerce This extract
gives the information contained in TIE an
nual reports of the United States consular
officers in Spain and in Italy Our trade
with Spain. 1t says, could be greatly en-
larged if a favorable commercial treaty
were negotiated. United States Minister
Storer, who is about to return to Madrid,
will endeavor to negotiate such treaty.
The extract says: American goods, ac-
cording to Vice Consul Wood of Madrid. are
to be met with in the most unexpected
places in Spain. They consist of plows and
other agricultural implements, pumps con-
densers, steel working machines, hardware
of all kinds. spouts, faucets, mining ma
chinery. bicycles. typewriters, hair clipping
machines. electric motors and fans, fire.
arms and cartridges, dental goods, lumber
monographs, cinematographs, etc. There is
no prejudice against United States goods,
and inquiries are constantly received for
them.
Consul Ridgely of Malaga says our trade
could be more largely developed If we had
a favorable commercial treaty with SPAIN
and If we would send enterprising CONNER
cial statesmen with a knowledge of the
Spanish language. Consul General Lay, of
Barcelona thinks that a still better way to
develop our commercial relations with
Spain would be to establish a permanent
exhibit of AmerfcaSia articles. and he is
now endeavorfng to open such an exhibit.
PRODUCTION of any article into Spain is more
difficult than in moseecountries in Europe
as the people, as ,Hpied ARE not quick to
see the advantages. Of modern appliances.

TRADE WITH ITALY.
American Importations at Leghorn
Doubled in Value Last Year.

Regarding growth of American trade
with Italy Consul Smith Of Leghorn, Italy,
says that importations at that port from
the United States doubled in value last
year, substantial advances being made,
among others items, in sulphate of copper
(Which has risen from SIC, 600 to $125, 900 in
three years., and coal, which has been used
in the Italian navy with satisfactory re-
suits.
Consul Cramer Of Florence also reports
the popularity of our coal, which Is en-
ployed by the Italian railway companies
and by factories. Our goods are to be seen
in shop windows, he says and also many
limitations of genuine American products,
made in Germany Two Americans in the
city are about to begin the business of i'm
porting hardware, ETC., from the United
States.
Consul Caughy of Messina says that an
American company is about to erect hotel
there.
Consul johnson of Venice says that Amer
lean inventions have an established reputa-
ton for righteousness and durability, and
our manufactured goods in general are
growing in favor.
The vice consul at Milan (Mr. H. P.
Smith, gives valuable advice to United
States exporters as to trade in Italy and
| the means Of extending our own commerce
in the country. The consulate he reports,
time after time has attempted to initiate re-
lationS between American firms and Italian
dealers. but the transaction usually falls
through on the question of cash payment
The United States house thinks it is too far
away to give credit and the Italian dealer
thinks he Is too far away to pay cash with
out an opportunity of seeing and testing
what he buys. Personal visits at oppor-
| tune times. he says. are an effective method
of gaining trade, and II the importer is
treated well the Italian will remain a salts
factory customer.
Consul Grout of Malta notes that our BIZ
cycles hold the trade in that island. and
our typewriters are the only ones sold
there Our hardware Is beginning to be
used in pleasing quantities, our trunks have
just appeared. and there is good prospect
for our refrigerators

Buildings and Contents Must Be Re-
moved Within ia Reasonable
Time'-Ft. Mo1rlJe Conditions.


The Secretary of War has notified the
owners of the Hygeia, Hotel and other pri-
vate establishments oh the military reser-
walton at Fort Monroe that the land occu-
pied by them is urgently needed for mill
tary purposes and that their buildings and
contents must be removed within rea-
sonable time" This action is taken on the
recommendation of a board of army off,
GERS appointed to consider the subject,
and is in accordance with an opinion given
by Judge Advocate General Davis as to the
law in the case. 1t is the purpose of the
department to extend the batteries at this
post and to erect number of new build
ings for purely military purposes. Exten-
sive improvements are contemplated, and
the accommoda lions of the post are to be
considerably increased. ~.
The artillery school is located at Fort
Monroe, and it is said its efficiency is ham,
pered by lack of ROOM The present crowd
ed condition of the reservation is due to
the presence of large civilian population,
which is accommodated in the Hygeia Ho-
tel and other private establishments of
business character which have been erected
from time to time on licenses issued by
either Congress or the War Department.
This private occupancy of a portion of the
reservation began a great many years ago
and has extended until it is found to inter
fere with the proper use of the ground as
a military post. These licenses were issued
with the understanding that they would be
revoked when the government needed the
land for military purposes, and. in the opin-
ion of the War Department, that time has
new arrived.
The land reclaimed by the government is
all that portion of the reservation east of
the road leading to Hampton and large
portion of the west side of that road. All
the private buildings on the east side are
to be removed and several of those on the
west side will have to be either removed
or reduced in size to meet the plans for the
Improvement of the reservation for purely
military purposes. The. owners will be given
a reasonable time to protect their interests
and remove the structures. and it is not
expected that the reservation will be clear
ed for at least two months yet.
The Chamberlin Hotel, which is on an
other part Of the reservation, is not to be
disturbed. That is new hotel and is under
the same management as the Hygeia, the
former being used for the winter and the
latter for the summer trade So far as
known no attempt will be made to con-
test the right of the government to clear
the reservation in the manner Indicated for
purely military purposes

No Money to Send Them Home.

Inquiry at tho British embassy here de-
veloped the fact that the application of the
Denver Beers for transportation to their
homes has not reached the embassy. The
officials do not yet know how it will be
acted upon. In cases of actual distress the
embassy in the past has been able to ex-
tend some relief to stranded English sub
jects by procuring for them transportation
to a seaport where they might be able to
ship for home, but there is no fund suffi-
cient to defray a general return of the
many Beers In the United States to South
Africa. It is therefore probable that the
embassy can do nothing In this matter in
the absence OF a SPECIAL grant Of funds and
authority from London.

CALLS 1T A GOLD BRICK GAME.
Senator Mitchell Denounces the Pana-
ma Canal Scheme.

The isthmian canal bill was under debate
in the Senate Saturday afternoon until a
brief executive session WAS held just before
adjournment. Mr.. Mitchell denounced the
idea that the United States should lend it's
name to the Papama, NJ canal enterprise
whose history during, the last ten years has
shocked the sensibfHtiesi4 of mankind. He
declared that it was the most rapacious
scheme Of legislative corruption journals
tic venality and SOCIAL and political expo
sure ever uncovered in any age or country"
He asserted that the launching of the
Panama canal enterprise was zone of the
greatest farces ever@ witnessed on EARTH
either in ancient Or mudern times" and
that the whole project ,Yas zone Of the
most stupendous gold BRICK games ever i'm
posed upon people,
Mr.. Mitchell declared that by the Spooner
amendment and theoviews of the minority
of the canal committss the United States
not only was invited Is. participate in a
gigantic lottery scheme, but also would be
compelled by French i4aw controlling the
canals construction totpurchase in France
all raw materials entering into the canal.
He: pointed out that the new Panama
Canal Company had entered into obliga-
tions to construct the canal, and he insist
ed that the United States, If it should pur-
chase the Panama Canal Company's rights
and property, would be the legatee of all
obligations Of the French company, includ-
ing those of the stockholders of the old
Panama Canal Company In view of all
the conditions he did not think a wise man
would invest $40O0O,O0O in a proposition of
that kind.
In conclusion Mr.. Mitchell declared that
if he were casting about for a way to de-
feat the construction OF an isthmian canal
he could find no better one than the sup
porting Of the Spooner amendment. He
was satisfied the Panama canal proposition
could not be touched without defilement or
a Tt ho
said sink of iniquity which the United
States ought not to approach.

CATTLE-There was not a very heavy
run of cattle here today for a TUESDAY,
but still the supply Tor the two days thIs
week is about the same as IL was for the
same days of last week. Buyers all seemed
to have quit liberal orders, so there was
considerable competition and the market
was lively and strong from the start on all
desirable grades.
Offerings did not include a very heavy
percentage OF beef steers and as the de-
mand was active the market was strong.
The better grades we're, OF course, picked
up first, but still even the
grades sold without much trouble at FULLY
as good prices as were paid yesterday.
Owing to the limited offerings the pens
were cleared in good season.
A heavy demand was experienced again
TO-DAY for the better grades of COWS and
heifers. Anything that was good enough
to sell from %.OU up was sold as fast as
offered at prices that looked stronger than
those paid yesterday. There was not so
much change in the medium grades and
Gamers, but still they sold for fully as
everything was disposed of In good season.
Bulls, veal calves and stays all seemed
to be in good demand where the quality
was satisfactory, but the prices did not
show much change from yesterday.
There were only a few stockers and
feeders in the yards this morning and as
the demand was of quite liberal proper
tions sellers had no di1ficulty in selling out
at very satisfactory prices. The better
grades were undou ptedly stronger, While
the common kinds were fully steady and
sold more freely than. usual. Representa-
tive sales:
