TRADE CONDITIONS.
Strike Has Depressing Eject, but
Thought to He Only Temporary.

Thought to he Only Temporary.
NEW YORK, May 31.-R. G. Dun s
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Ease in the money market, favorable
crop prospects and confidence abroad
are the encouraging factors which out
weigh the disturbing elements of labor
conflicts and unreasonable weather for
retail trade at many points. Effects of
the depressing influences are less keen
ly felt because they are believed to be
only temporary, and confidence is ex-
pressed that with the resumption Of
work and normal temperature there
will be return to the liberal distribu-
ton of merchandise. Uncertainty as to
the coal strike may end Monday, when
the first crisis in the contest will be
reached. Despite the short corn crop last
year the large yield of wheat and high
prices for both resulted in the greatest
value for the two crops ever recorded,
which means that the agricultural Sec
tons are prosperous, and other indus
tries must share the good fortune by
increased sales of products.
Efforts to place contracts for 100000
tons Of pig iron deliverable in the sec
ond quarter of 1903 indicate the conf
dence Of the leading consumers as to
the future of this industry. There is no
cessation Of activity at the mills, and
finished products are forwarded to i'm
Fortunate consumers as rapidly as pos
sibe.
No improvement is reported at New
England boot and shoe centers, where
the shops are still running only about
half time. There is little more activ-
ity in the grades that declined last
week, but no indication of recovery in
prices, and other varieties tend down.

BUENCAMINO SPEAKS
Former Filipino 1asurgent as
Washington's Tomb.
WONDERS OF AMERICAN CIVILIZATION


WASHINGTON, May 31.-Senor Fc-
lipe BuencaminO, the head of the Fed
eral party in the Philippines, accom-
panied by the Filipinos now in Wash
ington, paid a pilgrimage to Mount
Vernon yesterday. While there Senior
Buencamino made an address at the
tomb of Washington, in which he said
in part:
Brothers, it has been written in the
history of this great republic that
Washington was first in peace, first
in war and first in the hearts Of his
coNntrymen.
washington also occupies the first
place next to the immortal DR.. Rial
in the hearts of the I'ilipinos. Both
devoted their precious lives to secure
the liberty Of their respective peoples.
In the union OF these two noble senti-
ments is based the firm faith Of the
Philippine Federal party in the Amer
lean government, whether the Repub-
lican or the Democratic party is in
power.
Both parties love Washington. and
they will never betray their great ia
thcr. Either party will give a just,
stable and liberal government to our
country, because the people of our
country are ut the present time under
the protection of Washingtons people.
1.-The practical, useful and beneficial
action on our part is to give our loyal,
noble and sincere assistance to the
government of the United States in
the difficult work of the regeneration
of our country. When | stopped at
Honolulu, was greatly impressed by
the fact that American civilization has
in period of less than three years al
ready manifested the most magnificent
results. Why is this? Because the
wise and civilized measures taken by
the American government in Honolulu
find no obstacles of whatsoever kind.
The fertile American civilization is ac-
copied in Honolulu Just as we'll as it
was accepted in Louisiana and in Cali
for,ia, and because it was so accepted
in these last named states is due the
complete happiness and welfare of the
people, exactly as was the case with
the people of the thirteen original
states.
IF the Filipnos place obstacles in
the way of the execution Of the steps
taken by the American government in
stead OF loyalty and frankly assisting
it, if will he our own fault il we con-
tinuc living so far behind the times as
well as so misfrably.
brothers, glory to Washington,
glory to America glory to the Philip
pines, and let us have faith that the
American government will effect Il re-
generation of a beneficial character Of
Our nation, because ! was thus assured
yesterday morning by President Roose-
Welt, and President Roosevelt spoke in
the name Of the great people of the
United States"

NATHAN HALE.

At the Opera House this evening
Howard Kyle, supported by tho
same company which appeared in
the New York production, will pre-
sent Clyde Fitchs play, Nathan
Hale" This is one of the strongest
attractions which Manager Baylis
has offered this season, as the com
pany is well selected aud the play
itself is regarded as the best which
Mr.. Fitch has yet written. In view
of the fact that this popular author
had five plays produced at once in
New York, the statement that this
is his best should arouse more than
ordinary interest.
