nation relative to the reported recent
desertions from the Philippine constabu-
larry. Colonel Scott says it is certain that
only the detachment which has been sta
toned some months at Arayat Pampanga
revolted. The detachment was composed
OF a corporal and sixteen men. They
forced eight other constabularies to go
with them. The latter, however, re-
turned next morning to Vigan with their
arms and ammunition.
The mutineers seized the barracks and
obtained forty-five Springfield carbines
and Q, 900 rounds of ammunition and lib
Grated and armed twenty-one prisoners.
Several of them have since returned.
Careful inquiries trace this trouble to
General Ricarte, who recently returned

trouble since. Efforts are being made to
capture him.

Gnlc111 view Of Chicago trade for
the week says: The traf-
fic movement has been somewhat i'm
peded by severe weather. but, notwith-
standing this, the distribution Of mer-
chandise reached a large volume and no
diminution appears in the consumption
of necessities. Retail trade maintained
a satisfactory level in most lines and
was strong in wearing apparel, footwear
and groceries.
Wholesale dealers steadily added to
the accumulation of orders for spring
goods and an increased number Of visit
ing buyers made their selections in cloth
Ing. mems furnishings and dry goods, the
total sales reaching an aggregate COM
pairing favorably with year ago. Later
adyices confirm reports Of depleted stocks
throughout the interior, and more dispo-
sition on the part Of country merchants
to replenish early in the staples. The
situation in raw cotton may enforce an
advance in the cost of finished goods,
and this gives strength TO the entire
range Of textile products.
Labor difficulties but slightly affect in
dustrial progress. Manufacturing pro-
ceeds with frmer feeling of confidence
and production shows better. Implement
and machinery shops have increased
their working forces. the new business
coming forward promising a fair run Of
work. Other manufacturers are in good
position.
