TRADE CONDITIONS.
Heavy IncrefiEe Tn Business Owing
 Largely to Good Wenther.

Heavy TncrehEe Tn Business Owing
 Largely to Good Weather. NEW YORK, April 19.-R. C.. Dun Gs Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Weather conditions have been potent for good during the past week. Retail distribution was greatly accelerated, which in turn enlarged iobbing trade and brought more pressure on manu- eacturers. for prompt shipment, agri cultural work was facilitated ana building operations made rapid prog ress, and traffic increased at the inte- rior as the condition of country roads improved, which made collections bet ter. Some labor controversies were settled and others were averted. Com plafnts are still heard regarding tar6y deliveries. but freight is less congest- cd, and business has increased to the extent of 7.2 per cent.
 Quotations of iron and steel cannot yet be considered inflated, but the mar ket is following q natural course de- spite the efforts of leading interests to maintain a conservative positio1f. Sup- ply and demand must in the long run govern prices, and in this industry needs are greater than available stocks, although productive capacity has large ly expanded.
 Cotton goods have not followed the fluctuations in the raw material, al- though its strength has contributed to the steadiness of the finished product. The feature of the week was the in- creased inquiry for export.
 Grain and meats have continued very strong. There was some logical ex- planation of the advance in corn, inte- rior receipts falling 857, 500 bushels for the week, while Atlantic exports rose to 384,803 bushels, an unusually large total for recent times, although small by comparison with the corresponding week in preceding years. Wheat was sustained by exports from all ports of 4, ,4S5,352 bushels, four included, against 4,613,S91 year ago.
 Failures for the week numbered 261 in the United States against 206 last year, and 24 in Canada against q year ago.

The testimony presented before the senate committee on the Philippines lately has been of decidedly sensa- tional character and taken together with some reports from the Philip pines, has led the president to order a thorough investigation in the islands. The republicans do not believe that torture and other abuses have been practiced to any great extent and Mir Roosevelt declares that severe punish ment will be meted out to those who have been guilty of such conduct. On the ether hand. the democrats insist that these things have existed to a far greater extent than is dreamed of by the administration and that they ought to be investigated by others than army officers who are liable to look more leniently on the conduct of their fel- lows than would civilians.

When the Boer war Is oyer, and the waste of about $2OO,0O0,O00 yearly stopped, this country will be the better off: so will the army of about $150,000 men, large portion of whom will be released for productive employment, possibly in South Africa. Under such conditions it is not surprising that some of the restless spirits who have acquired large wealth may wish to distinguish themselves in the stock market. Conservative operators may not approve of ali their -actons, but they are not likely to do othelwise than quietly encourage an upward movement in the market ill spite oI the high level in prices.

The governor said there were some things in the organic law which the Hawaiians would have been glad to have different. He said he had direct questions, said the franchise might have been properly limited further than to Asiatics
 There also was the land question, concerning which, he said, there was vagueness regarding the provision all lowing corporations to hold 1000 acres. Whether this land was to be held in fee simple or simply by lease or oth- erwise was not seemingly understood by the Hawaiian people. He explained also the confusion that might arise over the election of senator's
 Chairman Knox said that this sena- torial condition was remedied by a bill about to be reported Governor Dole said for the present the island indus tries could not be carried on entirely by white labor, the Chinese and Japanese being so numerously employed in the rice and other industries that an imme-' diate change to white labor would not be practicable The experience in using Porto Rican labor had been discourag- inp

The announcement has been official General Miles will be retired at an early date and it is further under stood that General Brooke will sue ceed the present general commanding the army. In fact, the orders ap- pointing General Brooke are already made out. The president has prom ised to make public a statement, in connection with the order retiring Miles, of the reasons which have led to this action, and such all explana- ton is awaited with the greatest in- terest. Existing circumstances, the fact that the president and the secre-. tary of war are not on speaking terms with the general, etc, are conceded to be anomalous by the friends of the general. but they feel that only the most serious reasons could warrant the action of the president as two years hence the general would have been retired by law. In an endeavor to offset the presidents action yester- day afternoon Senators Hale, Hoar. McComas and Allison, all personal friends of General Miles. as well as of President Roosevelt, called at the white house and an extended confer ence was held. The senators pointed out to the president that it would be q grave mistake for him to rebuke the conduct of General Miles in the man. her indicated; that it would create an other s ampscn-Schley controversy; cause bad feeling in congress. injuri- ousIy affect the discipline and esprit du corps of the army, and. above all, that 1t would seriously endanger tLe success of the republican party at the coming congressional elections. The president after the interview decided to delay issuing his retirement orders fer the present. In the meantime the democrats are getting q candidate in readiness who will occupy the white house while the republicans fight it out.
