Marker Conditions Improve.

Market conditions are steadily improv- ing, although from surface viewpoint the contrary might appear to be the case. As matter of fact, however, there has been steady swallowing up of corpor- ate bonds of every description and the process is going on at a rate which will ere, long exhaust the present supply big as It is. After that idle money is likely to go into stocks and far-sighted bankers and financial experts are looking forward to another period of speculative activity.
 This period may be delayed by reason of the presidential campaign, but at this writing apprehensions in that regard are not acute. The apparent failure of the radical element in the democratic party

Mystery About Payme,t.

Mystery still enshrouds the details of the $40000,000 Panama canal payment Ap- parently the larger part of the mpney has gone abroad There is good reason for believing. however, that at least one half has found it's way into the pokets of the American partners of the French schemers who worked the proposition off on the United States government The deal has been carefully covered up and may never be known beyond the limited circle of those who have profited bt the transaction. MT. Henry Watterson was close on the trail of the American par ticipants in the deal, but he was deficient in the matter of proof and stands today discredited by reason of his announce ments In regard to the affair. Some day the inside history may be written, but for the present the public is likely to be kept in the dark.

Hotels in the South.

From the Washington Post.
 "The south, which in slavery days was noted for it's hospitality said MT. w. R. Koch, at the Riggs house, last night, "is now becoming noted for the comfort, elegance and yet home likeness of it's hotels, All along the east coast, and especially In Florida, can be found some of the finest in the country. I was in the hotel business in Washington, and have travelled through the United States, and have noticed this tendency in the south to build hotels far in advance of the local ities.
 "I have been attracted to Newport News, because it is an all-year-round place. In the winter it is not too cold and in the summer it is just as cool as Atlantic City and Long Branch. Old Point Comfort is well named, and Newport News is fast gaining recogni- ton of its beauties and advantages as a place of rest and recreation

Bankers Call Loans.

The heavy export movement of gold has furnished an excuse for bankers to call loans and mark up interest rates for call money. There has been something of a housecleaning in the banks and wedding out of doubtful accounts. This has been accompanied by more or less liquidation In the stock market. although the action hast not been on an extensive scale The weight of onerIngs was suf- fioent, however, to causes more or less depressIn in prices. although strong in- terests were on hand to prevent any thing like important declines.

Any interrup- ton results in piling up of surplus and a clogging of the channel Such an in terruption began about year and half ago, due to the liquidation of inflated securities and a loss of confidence. Lat terly the damned mp capital has been finding it's way into bonds The Wall Street Journal' financial authority of excellent standing figures that since the

Of this $4o,- o0O, GOO is in the form of notes running from one year to three years Eventually this indebtedness will be funded into long time bonds.

Reports Are Watched.

The reports of commercial agencies are being watched with concern these days. These agencies are in position to learn accurately and promptly the trade cordi- tions throughout the country and the facts are reflected In public and private reports. The credit men of large mercan
 tile establishments and manufacturing in stitutions are also keenly alive to outside conditions. These reports, in the main. are more encouraging than they have been for weeks although there are no inc dications of a recurrence of speculative excitement any where. The weather has been for the most part favorable for spring planting and the agricultural out look may be considered bright. Unless there is a fall down record crops of both cotton and corn will be grown, accord ing to the best advices received here.

Last of Queen Mary's Prisons.

There is now standing only one strong hold in England In which Mary, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned. and that Is Bolton castle. It was built by the Lord Scrope. who was lord chancellor in 1879. It was at Bolton castle that the Duke of Norfolk, then head of the Roman Catholic party. as is now the present Duke of Norfolk, made the proposal of marriage to Mary by which he hoped not only to serve the faith. but to make himself king. Instead of bringing him to the throne 1t brought him to the scaffold.
