TRADE CONDITIONS.

Iron and Steel Orders Far Akead of suppIy-Lfght Cereal Shipments. NEW YORK, April 12.-R. G. Dun & Cs.'s weekly review of trade zays: Good news predeMinates in the busi- ness world netwfthstansin two some what serious drawbacks. Weather conditions have been unsatisfactory at many points. retarding retail distribu- ton and delaying outdoor work, while excessive rain has put many southern planters behind with work in the cot ton fields. Still mere of & handicap is the strife between wage earner and employer. Not only the rate of wages, hours of labor CT recognition ef the union, but the number eff looRs and the use of time cards, are among the causes of controversy. At ssMe mills concessions have been made, but st other plants there has been complete suspension of work. Manufacturing is exceptionally active iR lines net dis turbed by strikes, and tkere is a vigor ous movement of goods through regu- lar channels.
 The iron and steel situation may briefly be summed up in the statement that. it is the exception when order books are net filled for full capacity well toward the cad of 1902. Buyers are still placing contracts abroad, and on urgent business this will probably occur during the year. As anticipated, The Iron Age statistics of pig irsn pre- duction show new record of BIT, ,424 tons weekly on April 1, exceeding the previous record by ever 45,o0o tons.
 Lower prices stimulated exports fer a time, but shipments of wheat and -four from all ports of the United States dur ing the week were only 3,S49, gro bush els against 4;97e, ,s10 last year, and At lantic exports of corn were only 15e, ,2I3 bushels against 2,o2o, ,34S a year ago. Cotton moved up to the highest point of the season. Coffee was depressed by excessive stocks and receipts, the spot price falling close to the low record
 Footwear manufacturers have se- cured a little more business, and shops have been able to avoid the reduced time that was feared
 Failures for the week numbered 19S in the United States against 203 last year and 19 in Canada against 24 last year.

TWO NEW VEGETABLES HERE.
One from China by Way of the South and One from Japan by Way
 of France.

"Among the newer salad plants" sala dealer in green vegetables, lis one called Oriental romaine, which has been introduced here about four years. It came originally from China. This is winter salad, and is grown in the south, being raised as far north as North Carolina, reports the New York Sun.
 A head of Oriental romainc is about as long as an ear of corn, and, in the middle part, of about the same diam eter; but, instead of tapering down at its lower end, it is there somewhat bulbouS; so that the whole head is somewhat sase,ike in shape.
 Tt is made up of long, narrow leaves folding closely together, solidly, from the heart out, the outer leaves being of about the size of green corn husks.
 Tt is sold by the pound at from Is to 20 cents, according to the supply. A single head weighs about a pound, more or less.
 Another vegetable new here, we have had it about four years, one which IS more often eaten cooked, but which, uncooked, is used as garnish for sal ads, and is eaten as such, is Japanese crosne, an artichokeiike vegeta ble coming originally from Japan, but now cultivated in France, whence all our supplies of it are imported.
 Japanese crosnes are about two inches in length by half an inch in di- ameter at the thickest part, mid way of their length; tapering toward the ends; they have also ringlike holdings, so that they look like rather stubby little turned spindles.
 Besides their salad use. and their use cooked they are also used to gar nish or decorate cooked meats. Tn Japan they are eaten cooked, picked and as salad
 Japanese crosnes are imported in baskets like small heavily-made cham pagne baskets. Is pounds to the bas- ket. They sell here at 40 cents pound U and and fayor.

 Present Double Headed Management of the Army q Failure. WASHINGTON, April 12-The re port of the testimony given before the senate committee sn military affairs by General Schs1eld, formerly the csa- manding general of the array, on the bill to create a general staff has been made public.
 He indorsed the bill, saying that he had lsng since come to the conclusion that there is no room under our consti- tutisn fer tive commanders and that the president, whom the constitution act through the secretary of war. He added:
 ''The very exalted individual office, so called, of commanding general Sf the array must disappear. There is ns rssn fer it in this gsyernne nent, no mat ter who occupies it. It is net a question of personality at all CT the character ef the individual SC far as this great question is concerned. He must be what other nations of the earth have, a chief of staa, net commanding gen eral''
 Referring te the German system Gen eral Sche6eld said: We would have ts modify their system SC as te make it applicable. If we had at the head of the army fer years the same diStin- guishsd general, other things being sat isfactsry, that would be very well, but what is the use of great general az the nominal head of the army if the president will net even talk to him ex- cept to criticise him, or if the secretary of war and he de not even see each oth- CT?

Irish Burial Places.

The Irish are very particular as to where they will be buried. It goes with out saying that they want to be in- tered in consecrated ground; but they also wish to be laid with their own in the ancient hallowed spot where their ancestors for n;any a generation have been put to rest. Each family has it's burying-place, and whenever member dies-unless it be beyond the seas or at some insuperable distance-he is brought to be buried with his sires. Hence tits that funeral processions are often times seen to wend their slow way past many wayside church yard. to some far-off burial ground, because it is there for so many and manay a gen eration the forefathers of the deceased have laid themselves down for their last long sleep.-Donohoe's

conceivable Treachery and Inhu-
 manfty-Justifed Stern Meas
 ures Under Martial Law.
 MANILA, April 12.-Major Littleton NV. T. Waller of the marine corps, who is being tried by court martial on the charge of executing Samar natives without trial, addressed the crowded court yesterday. The major said he was either right or wrong in his actions and added that he desired to cite five prec- edentS which came under the head of his own case. He alluded to the naval battle at Santiago and the hu- manity he had shown to Spaniards who were captured and said he had many letters from Spaniards thanking him for the kindness he had shown them.
 Continuing, the major said that in 1882 he was with the British forces in Egypt, where Arabs captured pickets of Bengal cavalry, decapitated the pris- oners and placed their heads on poles. Afterward all the Arabs who were caught were shot without trial. During the campaign in China the Chinese mu- tilated the dead and tortured the wounded to death. Consequently when Boxer or fanatic was captured he was executed immediately without ref erence. This was true in the case of the troops of every nation in China. It was true during the three weeks he commanded the Americans there, and the same thing occurred later when he was no longer in command. No protest was made, and he hsd every right to believe that his acts were approved. so far as the American forces were con- cerned. He knew they were approved by those of other nations.
 Ut is impossible to conceive such treachery as that of the natives of Sa- mar,'' said the major. 'They revel in blood and have an appetite for wanton sacrilege of the human body. These fiends stole Captain Connells class ring, filled the soldiers bodies with jam and jelly and attempted to murder my com mand. I shot them. I honestly thought then that was right, and I believe so now. Neither my people nor the world will believe me to be murderer"
 Captain Arthur T. Mark of the ma rine corps. representing Major Waller, in a forcefuI argument maintained that Walters actions were justified by mar tial law, quoting numerous authorities on the subject. Captain Mark also said he regretted very much that the prose cution had seen it to call General Smith. He claimed that all the testi- mony went to show that the major was justified.
 At the close of,the arguments for the defense the general feeling was that the result of the trial will be the ac Quittal of the major.

Mr.. Ridgely Holds Up a Bank
Statement Because It
Shows No Reserve Against
Government Deposits.
MUST REPLACE FUNDS
The Secretary of the Treasury Is
Without Authority to Make
Amy Ruling Regarding the
Matter, the Official Says.

Comptroller Of the Currency Rfdgely
today oveTruled the action Of Secretary
Of 5he Treasury Shaw in authorizing the
national banks TO release the . per cent
reserve they have heretofore been re
quired to hold against Government de-
posts.
In the case OF 4 certain bank which
had taken advantage Of the Seeretary's s
permission. Mr.. Ridgely has held up the
banks statement and has refused to ap-
prove the same until the Is per cent re-
serve shall have been recovered.
He takes the ground that all sucl
matters are in the exclusive control Of
the Comptroller, and that the Secretary
was without authority in giving this
permission TO the banks.
The result VIII be the withdrawal
from the money market Of all reserve
funds thus released from the various
banks that had availed themselves O.
the Secretary's offer. The total amount
was 10 have been $4,000 600. but 1t is
not likely that all Of this amount had
yet been distributed.
