SHAW PLANS WITH EYE 70 FUTURE
AVOID MONEY sTRINGENCY.
Panama Canal Payments VIII Not Be
Due Until U. 8, Treasury Has
Ample Surplus.

Interest In the fight In the Senate to
ratify the Panama canal treaty is d.
vlded with the financial furry in New
York. The fact that Secretary OF the
Treasury Shaw has seml.oflcially de-
clared his purpose to pay the 10000
600 purchase money of the Panama
Canal Company in cash, as well as the
s10,000,000 bonus to Colombia, has
given an Idea that the Treasury has
no method OF relief II II is to hold on
to It's cash to meet those payments.
II is we'll known In official circles in
Washington, and to Secretary Shaw
especially, that the payment of the
$50 100000 Is probably a good many
months OF, certainly not before the
dull season of the summer. BY that
time the usual monthly surplus of the
Treasury will have increased the cash
holdings of the government to a point
when the disbursement of the money
can be made real benefit to the coun-
try and without the necessity of with
drawing n dollar of the government
funds now held by national bank de-
posltorles. After the United States
Senate has ratified the canal treaty
It must be ratified by the Senate Of
Colombia, newly elected body, In
which there Is much hospitality to the
treaty as negotiated. That much time
Will elapse before the Colombian Sen

tain. Pending the settlement of the
canal payments, yet a long way off,
Secretary Shaw can do much to re-
lieve the market and at the same time
have the funds with which to meet
the canal payments when due. over
and above the sl50000. 900 Of money
In repositories at this time the Treas
ury hold s73,000,00O cash. Nearly all
Secretaries Of the Treasury have held
that there should remain in the Treas
ury proper at least $1,000, 900 to meet
extraordinary crisis in money affairs.
There Is now s23,000,000 above that
imaginary line, with the surplus in
the Treasury increasing each month.
Secretary Shaw has sufficient funds
to aid the money market, and when the
canal payments are reached withdraw
from the national banks TO make up
what Is lacking In the Treasury bal.
ance Itself. The fact that he is fully
mindful of the various features of the
situation and alive to the prospects Is
sufficient to convince those who know

SENATE YIELDS TO HOUSE.
Cuban Treaty Cannot Be Put Into Ef.
feet Before Next Session.

The amendments to the Cuban rec
iprocity treaty that were accepted
Thursday by the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions committee provide that the
treaty must be submitted to the house
and that there shall be no further re-
duction than 20 per cent. of the duty
on Cuban sugar imported into the Uni
ted States. The principal reason for
the first amendment is that members
Of the house have strongly urged the
constitutional right of that body to
pass upon all reciprocity treaties be-
cause of their effect upon the revenue.
This amendment will delay tho opera
tion of the treaty until the house
meets in December, providing that the
house even then agrees to the ratifica-
tion. At the first session of the late
congress the house defeated the bill

GEN. FUNSTON 70 DISRUPT TRUST.
AFTER TRADING COMPANY.
With U. 0. War Departments Sane.
tlon He VIII Regulate An
Alaskan Combine.

Gen. Frederick Funston Is to become
a trust buster" His operation in this
role Will be directed toward com
binatlon at st. Mlchaels, Alaska, which
Is within the jurisdiction of the de-
partment of the Columbia, to the COM
mand of which he has just been as
signed. The facts In the case we're
laid before Gen. Funston last week
by William Cary Sanger, assistant sec
retary OF war. During the last two de-
cades several navigation and trading
companies have acquired from the war
department revocable licenses to oc-
cupy certain portions OF the military
reservation at st. Mlchaels. The land
they hold Is on the water front, and
there Is now but little space available
for wharfage, which is not used under
license by one or another OF these com
panles. When the trade of Alaska
made an upward bound Ave years ago
competition between these companies
became very keen, but last summer the
spirit OF organization animated these
companies, and they were combined
into single company. The question
was then raised as to whether each Of
the companies In the consolidation
could carry into the combination all
of the holdings for which 1t had OBJ
tained individual license. Objection
was made to thcir so doing on the
ground that one company would then
hold practically all the water front
leaving no place for any opposition.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Orders for Spring and Summer Goods

inss Steadily Improve.

r. G. Dun G. Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade" says: Reports from all sec.
tions promise brisk spring and sum-
mer trade. Orders are coming forward
on large scale. and frequent requests
for prompt shipment indicate that
stocks are low and requirements urg-
ent. The statement has been made re-
peatedly that traffic blockades were
ended, but relief was in every case
local, and almost Immediately followed
by so much new business that conges-
tion returned. At present the western
shipments are fairly prompt, but
freight Is not coming East In a salts
factory manner. Heavy distribution Of
wages makes retail trade active and
collections prompt In the anthracite
region, yet dealers are carrying small
stocks Of merchandise as a rule. Rail-
way earnings continue to exceed pre-
vious years figures, roads reporting
for the first week of March showing
gain OF 14.1 per cent. over last year,
and of 1873 per cent. over 1901. II Is
almost certain that railway construc
tion will far exceed even last years
enormous figures. and similar condi
tions exist as to building and bridge
operations. Despite the higher range
of quotations prevailing abroad. many
contracts are being placed with fol
eign producers. Failures this wee
numbered 239 in the United State
against 232 last year, and 20 In Can
ada, against "a year ago.
Bradstreet's says: The level Of
commodity prices is at the highest
point in three years. February's move
ment was very generally upward. 40
staples advancing. while only Is de-
clined, and SO products remained un-
changed. Compared with year ago,
one-third are lower. New features are
the expansion in demand for crude and
finished iron and steel. Considerable
sales of Bessemer pig iron are re-
ported In Pittsburg, while Chicago
tells of a liberal business doing inl
malleable and foundry grades. Struc-l
tural material, bars, plates, wire and
wire products have all been active.I
The steel rail market looks very muchI
similar to that of a year ago, when al
heavy business was booked early in
