REVIEW OF TRADE.
COuntry's Commercial Conditions as
Depicted by Dun & Co.


Depicted by Dun & Co.
New York, Oct. 30.-R. G. Dun &
Co. s weekly review of trade to-mor-
row will say:
Industrial activity has increased
somewhat, many plants resuming and
others preparing to reopen on Monday.
Several pending labor controversies
have reached amicable adjustment,
adding to the aggregate of wage earn
ers employed. On the other hand,
strikes are ordered and some mills will
be closed by lack OF new business, while
properties has thrown thousands out
of work.
While there is evidence of set back
in the steel industry, and some hesita-
ton in textiles at the East, the gem
eral tenor of these reports is encour-
aging for a continuance of prosperity,
particularly in the sections where agri-
culture is the chief occupation.
Collections are causing some I'M
easiness and financial conditions are
unsettled. Merchandise is freely dis
tributed and railway earnings for Oc-
tober thus far surpass last years by
So per cent. and those OF 1901 by 49,
per cent.
Purchases of iron and steel products
are still restricted to immediate re-
Quirements as a rule, although the de-
cline in quotations appears checked
Some increased interest is noted IN
structural material for office buildings,
warehouses and bridges, but orders
are insignificant when compared with
last years business in this line.
For the first time this season 1t Is
possible to record a distinctly better
market for cotton goods. Print cloths
are firmer, occasional small advances
being quoted. and the market Tor sta
pie and fancy prints is strengthened
by the paucity of supplies.
Failures this week were 253. against
233 last year.

THE LAW on THE ISTHMUS.

There is. we are told no warrant in interna-
tional law for the conduct of our government
in Panama. Perhaps, and perhaps not. That
is matter that could be determined better if
We knew all the details and circumstances Of
the governments conduct in Panama-which it
is to be assumed we shall know in due time
and if we knew also just what international law
is upon so peculiar a case-which may not
know. seeing that international law has never
been codifed, but remains, excepting in some
treaty details largely nebulous and inchoate
For the present we can see no profit in discuss
ing whether or not something of whose char
acter we are not vet accurately informed com
ports with something else concerning which
lack of full information also exists. Since
however. the question is raised. there need be
little hesitation in saying that it does not par
ticularly matter how it is answered. The fun
damental issue now before us may not be with
in the domain of statute book or treaty. 1t may
in fact be without precedent, and so may pre-
sent one of those elemental issues concerning
which the nation must be a law unto ITSELF
governed only by considerations of the general
good.
Is that heretical or revolutionary? Then has
this nation been a hereto or a revOIutiOnist from
the beginning. We can find i'm no treaty then
existing, and in no written authority on inter
| national law. any warrant for the Declaration
of Independence. If the conduct OF Jaw Adams
and Franklin in 1883. in making Il treaty in
| dagrant violation of the orders and authority
under which they We're commissioned finds
| sanction in any written law We should like to
| have section and paragraph cited. BY what
! item of international law was jefferson backed
when he explained that in spite of his belief in
our lack of constitutional authority, France
must let US buy Louisiana or we might take if
| from her by force; Or Monroe, when he en-
forced similar policy toward Spain in Florida t?
| What international law was there for orr for
bidding Spain TO dispose of her own propertv.
In Florida and in Cuba, as she pleased? Or for
John Quincy Adams's warning to Baron T,1yI
that the United States would contest the right
OF Russia 70 any territorial establishment what
ever on this continent: What shadow of an
| thority in international law was there for the
.onroe Doctrine itself? Where is the legal
title under which the United States warned
Great Britain and France TO quit Hawaii and
| required France 10 evacuate Mexico2
There is no title for such thing -.,c Tat Of

II is therefore necessary TO take long look
ahead and secure park areas adequate to the
requirements of the five or six million peo-
pie who may be here within a generation
They will need parks much more than we no.
just as we need them more than the last gen
Grafton did. They must have more ample space
10 counteract their increasingly artificial sur
roundings They will need wide stretches for
games which are becoming less and less easy
10 provide in the older parks. So there Is no
danger of the city getting too much land for the
purpose. The more the better. The land OF Cen
trail Park cost over S5.O00.00o, and it was
thought to be needed for a population of seven
hundred thousand. For the two and three-quar-
tiers acres of Mulberry Bend Park the city paid
81 81. 055 60. and for the three and two-thlrds
acres of Hamilton Fish Park 1,119.ioo.
The million and half which Commissioner
Wilcox proposes to spend in Staten Island
therefore does not seem an extravagant sum in
irseIf The question is. VIII a park there he
needed and is the price rea sonable? We think
there is no doubt that il viii be ultimately
needed there. and the time TO buy is when the
money will buy four thousand instead OF two
and three-duarters acres. With the growth OF
commerce il is important that liberal spaces of
waterfront for seaside recreation be preserved,
and the high ground of Staten Island is espe-
ciallv worth securing for park purposes, for. we
believe it is the highest ground looking out upon
the ocean along the Middle Atlantic Coast

Marriage bells were ringing again yesterday
right merrily. and OF large number Of weddings.

4 STATEN ISLAND PARK.

Commissioner Wilcox proposes decidedly
ambitious park scheme for Staten Island. He
wants to secure four thousand acres running
from the beach 10 the highlands in the interior
OF the island. and reports that he can acquire
the land for about 81 100000, which seems re-
markably small amount for a city accustomed
TO paying a third much for small city
block -Four thousand acres is over six square
miles Such an area would make by far the
largest public park in the city. being nearly
FIVE times the size of Central Park with its $50
acres, nearly four times the size Of Van COrt-
landt Park with its ], 1S2 acres, and almost
three times the size Of Pelham Bay Park, which
contains I,756 acres and is at present the lar
gest OF our parks. But ambitious though the
plan Is il is not on that account necessarily I'M
wise: and. Notwithstanding the proper deter
mination of the Low administration to leave TO
its successor so deciSively chosen by the people
p free hand, if il shall appear that the city
could make a better bargain now than later or
would otherwise benefit by prompt action, il
should take up the proposition and dispose of il
without waiting for Mr. Mcclellan 10 take Of
fee
Staten Island is one Of the few spots of CON-
psratirely unspoiled country within the city
limits. These become fewer and smaller every
year. No amount of money expended hereafter
for small built-over areas to be transformed
srtifciaIly into gardens can compensate for the
loss Of natural fields and woodlands which can
be preserved by taking them now. There is no
Immediate need for large breathing spaces in
Richmond, but il is clear that with the rapid
growth Of the city vast population will ulti-
r5sately be domiciled there, and its needs should
be anticipated while il Is possible to meet them
sf small expense. Bronx and Van Cortlandt
parks were acquired long before any local popu-
istion demanded them. but their value now is
scarcely 70 be computed. and their acquisition
M present real estate values would be simply
out Of the question.
-Four thousand acres is perhaps more park
space than any probable population Of Staten

the rest Of the city must be taken into consider

tunpelled and through trains by way OF Brook

SEEING THE SHOW.

An unnecessary degree of perturbation ap-
pears to have been caused in the editorial rooms
of some of our esteemed contemporaries by the
fact that a multitude of persons. mostly women,
besieged the entrance to the church in which
the Duke of Roxburghe and Miss Goelet were
married on Tuesday, and forced their way to
posts of vantage with exceeding pertinacity.
II is to be conceded that these unwelcome II
not wholly unexpected sightseers might have
been more respectfully engaged otherwise than
in such an unmannerly exhibition of curiosity,
but there is no use in drawing erroneous con-
clusions from the incident and thereby invok-
ing deeper sense Of humiliation than it really
calls for.
The scene in front Of ST Thomas's on Tues
day does not necessarily indicate that the
American public in general or the New-York
public in particular is unduly fond of lord or
overestimates the Importance of large fortune.
Perhaps it merely means that an extraordinary
amount of advertising, for which those most
nearly concerned were not at all responsible
had led some thousands of persons to suppose
that this international wedding was going to
be a show, and to determine that they would
see the show and make part of it at all haz
ards II is impossible to feel a high respect for
woman who takes pleasure in pulling open
dress to see what it is made of, or who is dis
appointed because she only succeeded in get
ting near enough to a place where she wasn't
wanted to be pulled away. perchance feet first,
by policeman. But after all, there isn't
great deal of difference between the curiosity
which collects a struggling crowd on such an
occasion and that which sends TO Madison
Square Garden when Dowie is going to preach
twice as many people as can possibly claw
their way into the building If ii were known
that Mrs. Carrie Nation going to turn
handsprings the City Hall steps tomorrow
morning there would be more witnesses of
her agility than ever turned out TO read the
bulletins on an election night. In fact. we sup
pose that if newspaper gossps were TO fill their
columns day after day for n month with ac-
counts of the approaching nuptials of John
Doe and Mary Roe good many thousand per-
sons would gather at the church doors at the
appointed hour, whether the ceremony was
held in New-York or London, Paris, Vienna or
Berlin.
Such demonstrations of the passion for seeing
whatever there is to be seen are certainly
not admirable, but they are very human. st
Paul observed the same propensity on Mars
Hill two thousand years ago, but we suspect
that if he had exhausted his resources in per-
suading the people Of Athens TO be constantly
on the alert for some new thing he would not
have berated them for taking his advice.
