| New Y0rk over business interests are
| Nv .e--J settling down TO a new year
of promising activity. On every side con
fidence is felt that 1902 will witness a
continuance of prosperity. Interior trade
holds in large volume and merchants and
manufacturers are prepared TO make Il
harder struggle for export trade. rc;iliz-
ing that they need that business unless
they shall reduce a production which now
exceeds the demands of the home market.
Ii is too early in the year to compare
any results thus far with 1901. Figures
of bank clearings and railroad earnings
for the first periods are being awaited
| with intense interest. What they may
show in comparison with last year will
be regarded as an index of the coming
years volume of business.
The need for more railroad cars is crit
| ical. With lake navigation closed for
some time the freight formerly transport
| ed by water is added to the already over
| taxed steam roads. In no active industry
| does this condition hamper so much as in
the iron trade. When the number of
blast furnaces closed is greater than the
number open, as it appears to be, SIM
ply from 4 lack of coke. which the rail-
roads cannot move because of car short
| age. there is manifested graphic but
unhappy incident OF prosperity. This
situation provokes spirited criticism Of
the railroad management by manufac-
turers. Officials of roads claim they are
using every resource to handle the traf-
tic and are permitting the use OF freight
cars which under less extraordinary cir
cumstances would be sent to repair shops.
Good as the demand for steel is, the DOM
inant company in this industry adheres
to its policy Of not raising prices. The
dullness usual at this season in iron and
steel is evidently to be postponed for
some weeks.
Lake copper has been cut again. the
From the quoted prices before copper
conditions became a problem this is
drop of AZ cents. Independent COM
panies have kept just below the trust"
quotations, and conditions are thoroughly
unsettled. The repeated reductions have
schooled consumers in buying from hand
to mouth"
Less activity is reported in woolen
goods. but the trade is in good shape. At
this time of the year there never is
lively demand for cotton goods. and it is
impossible as yet to conjecture how that
important industry is going to fare in
1902. Conditions were better at the close
of 1901 than they were at the beginning,
and the millmen hope that the situation
will continue to improve and dividends
TO increase. The leather and allied in
dustries are not SO active as those engag-
ed in them desire. The shoe manufacture
ers complain of the high price Of leather.
but are aware OF the fact that if they
put up the price of shoes on account of
it the demand for their goods may fall

Ir spite of the opposition of Cardinal
Rampolla, the Papal secretary of state,
the Pope has decided to send important
special missions both to the coronation
of King Edward and to the festivities
in Spain attendant upon the coronation
of King Alfonso. The cardinals oppo-
sition to sending of the mission to Eng
land was based on the fact that the
British Parliament did not change the
anti-Catholic formula 6f the accession,
oath. and Mgr. Merry Del Val. whom
the Pontiff designed to be chief of the
mission, openly refused to go while the
present wording Of the oath is main
tanned. Nevertheless, the mission will
be sent and will probably arrive in Lon
don few hours after the religious
ceremony.

HOUSE Philippine BILL
Perfected and Re Observation-Disclosures
Radically from Senate Bill.

Washington, April S.-The House bill
establishing civil government in the
Philippines was finally perfected. to-
day, by the Republican members of the
insular committee and as completed
was re-introduced by Chairman Cooper
There is little doubt that it viii be re-
ported to the House by the full COM
mittee, probably Wednesday, and in the
form Mr.. Cooper introduced it, Tues
day.
The House bill is unlike that of the
Senate. in that it provides complete
form of civil government for the is
lands to go into effect when the war
terminates, the provision being as fol-
lows:
whenever the existing insurrection
in the Philippine islands shall have
ceased and condition of general and
complete peace shall have been estab-
lished therein and the facts shall be
certified to the President by the COM
mission, the President shall authorize
the committee to call a general election
for the choice of delegates to a popu-
lar assembly of the people of the Phil
ippine Islands to be known as the Phil
ippine Assembly. 1t is further provided
that all the legislative power shall then
be- vested in two houses-the Philip.
pine and the Philippine Assembly. Pro-
vision is made for taking the census
within 90 days after the PRONUNCIATION
of peace. Thereafter the islands are
to be divided in election districts, and
the regular machinery for electing the
Legislature is provided.
Section II of the bill provides that all
residents of the Philippines shall have
the same protection from the United
States in their relations to foreign gov
ernments as is accorded to the citizens
of the United States.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. April S.-The effect of yes
terday's furry in the money market was
dissipatcd, today. and an aggressive lead
ership was developed on the recovery ia
stocks. This leadership seemed to remain
with the well equipped party of Western
men which took hold of the market, late
last week. There was some evidence of i
recruitment of their forces from other
sources, while their position was strong
er by reason of the shaking off of weak
follow ing by yesterdays reaction. The
extension of the short interest during yes
terday's decline was also a technical fac
tor of strength in todays market Th7
reinsurance of the speculative element
was not immediate. this morning, and
there was considerable wavering and uii-
certainty in the early movement oi
