NEW YORK, Aug. 16.--R. G. Dun 81
Co.'s weekly review of trade says.
Money market conditions are Of espe-
cial importance just now. Heavy
crops will call for much currency, and
there is evidence of anxiety regarding
the ability of banks to meet the de-
mand without producing severe strin-
gency. Transfers from this center
We're unusually large in July because
of grain speculation, which is no evi-
dence that subsequent Withdrawals
will be abnormal. On the contrary,
interior institutions were never as
strong, particularly at Chicago, where
rates have been maintained for the ex-
press purpose of discouraging loan ex-
pansion. Moreover, there is good rea-
son to believe that bank note circula-
ton will be materially enlarged
Prospects have greatly improved
through the adjustment of numerous
labor controversies, yet the anthracite
coal situation is unchanged and sup
plies are nearing depletion. Distribu-
ton of merchandise has met with
some interruption owing to freight
blockades, the volume of business be-
ing very heavy. Earnings Of the rail-
ways during the first week OF August
exceeded last years returns by 2.S per
cent and those of 1900 by 17.9 per cent.
Statistics Of pig iron production on

Pressure for steel is undiminished,

Considering the official report of ce-

The coal strike seems to be good for
a long time yet. There seems no pros

New York paper, discussing the ques,

bureau of labor statistics is that the
average of wages in the mines is but
$25 a month, while Mr. Baer and his
friends talk of it being more than twice

THE HAGUE, Aug. 16.--The arrival

Botha, De Wet and Delarey is expected

go to Utrecht to confer with former
President Kruger of the Transvaal.
Many. of the Boer refugees here are
awaiting the arrival of the generals to

a Career,s SAD Ending.

New York Journal.
Rear-Admiral Sampson goes up
on the retired list accompanied by
the sympathy and regrets of his
fellow-citizens.
Sympathy. because his long and
generally creditable career is clos
ing in physical weakness and men,
tai darkness.
Regrets, because an officer SO in
dustrious and useful did not prove
to be just little bigger man when
the supreme test came.
1t was a crushing disappoint-
ment to Admiral Sampson that
fate proved so unkind to him as to
leave him cut of the battle of San
tiago.
He could not reconcile himself
to the misfortune of his absence
from the fight that crowned the
blockade which he had conducted.
There was wanting in him the gem
erosity. the nobility to accept the
irremediable and acknowledge the
right of another to the glory which
had escaped his own grasp.
If Admiral Sampson retires
without popularity and amid pain
fully diminished respect, the fault
is his own.
Heand his partisans have sought
to wrest from Admiral Schley re-
nown honestly won.
Nobody has tried to deny the
value of SampsoH 8 services to his
country, but every just man has
resented the efforts made to crown
him with laurels belonging to a
brother officer.
1t is charitable to suppose that
the malady which has wrecked Ad-
miral Sampson's mind had already
made headway when Schley led in
the glorious victory of July 3, 1898,
and that had Sampson been him.
self the shameful endeavors to de-
prive Schley of the honors of that
immortal day never would have
been participated in or counten-
anced by him.
