WEATHER OFFSETS
 EFFECT OF STRIKES
Railway BIockadeS Are Causing
 Some Complaint
IRON TENDS TO ALVANCE
All Mining Lines Are Active as Here tofore and the outlook for 1906 Grows Even More
 Promising.

New York, January 12.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Reasonable weather more than offset the effect on business conditions of increased strife between labor and capital. Low temperature and snow brought out the backward demand for heavy weight wear ing apparel, and rubber goods, restoring the one tagging trade factor, and the other departments of jobbing and manu- featuring continued vigorously engaged in preparing for the future except where a few strikes produced hesitation. Thus far these struggles have not affected any large percentage of the wage earners while in other industries the higher scales effective January 1 have added to the purchasing power of many thousand workers. Railway blockades cause com plaint in several important centers, yet earnings for December were s2 per cent larger than in 1904 Foreign commerce at this port for the last week showed an in crease of s9.239,O6S over the exports a year ago, while imports decreased s979,- 447-a trihing loss after the sensational gain of the previous week. Annual re- ports are surpassing expectations in most cases, and year-end settlements are made with desirable promptness.
 Several advances in quotations of steel shapes testify to the pressure that is felt in some divisions of the iron and steel industry. and 1t is especially gratifying to note that there is no evidence of specula- tive influence in the gains of one or two dollars per ton for sheets, plates and wire products Inquirers in these de- partments have merely surpassed the supply available for prompt delivery.
 Conditions show distinct improvement in the textile industries business increasing as stoek-taking is concluded, although buyers are still somewhat scarce in the primary markets for cottons. The raw material situation Is considered a sup porting influence.
 Irregularlty has appeared in the hide market, branded hides being sold far ahead, while country hides are steady in the face of larger offerings but some concessions are noted in packer varieties.
 Failures this week numbered 909 in the United States against 324 last year, and 51 in Canada, compared with 2S year ago.

TARIFF DEBATE IS ID END SOON Arguments Will Continue But
 Two More Days LONGWORTH GIVES IDEAS Interests the House By His Exposition of the Filipino charaeter-Mecall
 Defends the Massachu-
 setts Idea.
LONGWORTH GIVES IDEAS

Washington, Januarfy 11.-lnterest was injected into the Philippine tariff debate in the House of Representatives to- day by Massachusetts idea" of tariff exposition by MT. Mccall of that state, by a character study of the Filipino by MT. Longworth of Ohio, and by defense of President Roosevelt by MT Pou, democrat from New York. Besides these there were number of speeches de- livered on the merits of the bill, nearly all of which were in opposition to the measure.
 During the day an agreement was reached whereby the debate Is to con tinue for two days more. The House is to meet at Il o'clock tomorrow and Mon day, and to close general debate at o'clock on the latter day.
 The bill will be taken up for amend ment under the five minute rule on Tues day and doubtless disposed of on that day.
 MT. Broussard of Louisiana, opened the discussion with a speech against the bill By juggling" he said, the whole sugar product of the islands could be shipped here at a profit and the home demand there be supplied by imported sugar.
 Refuses to Close Debate.
 The House refused it's unanimous con- sent to close general debate on the Phil ippine tariff bill at noon Monday coupled with the extension of the session tomor- row and Monday by beginning at Il in stead of 12 o'clock It was stated there are twenty-five speeches to be made for and twelve against the bul. After the objection MT. Payne gave notice that he would demand vote on the closing of debates as soon as the House meets Monday Mir Broussard of Louisiana, op- posing the bill was the first speaker.
 He figured the Philippine treasury would receive $S. 64 on every ton of sugar shipped from those islands to the United States, under the bill; that the shipper would make profit, because the tariff concession of $1O.50. With this situation the Philippines could well afforu to ship here the entire product and buy sugar for their own use from Java or other sugar countries.
 MT. Broussard asserted with great em- phasis that to reduce the tariff on raw sugar as contemplated in the Dill, would benefit the sugar trust more than any one else, simply by providing Il with raw material at less cost.
 The present "dispensation of charity he said, was the fourth of the same kind and all at the expense of the sugar industry of this country. The Porto Rico reduction was the first; Cuba the sec ond; the twenty-five per cent reduction for the Philippines the third, and now the 75 per cent reduction is proposed. He con cluded with the prediction that under her treaty regulations, Cuba, would come next and demand the same concessions that Is being granted the Philippines.
 At the conclusion of MT Broussaro s remarks another and successlul ehoi was made by MT Payne, whereby the House agreed to close general debate on the bill Monday at o'clock. and that inc sessions tomorrow and Monday shall begin at II instead of 12 o'clock.

pepends Upon Sugar Industry.

Asserting that the sugar beet industry was the essential factor in the success of the irrigation projects of the west, MT Brooks of Colorado characterized as bad statesmanship any move to cripple it. If let alone In ten years the sugar beet would furnish half the sugar con sumed in the country. In six years the industry in Colorado had increased pro- ductlon of 5000 tons annually with a value of S4,750,00O
 Mr Brooks provoked good-natured ap- plause by applying MT. Dalzell's argu- ment addressed to the beet sugar in- dustry: You need no protection; what you need Is improved methods to the iron and steel industry of Pittsburg.
 To the statement of MT. Dalzell that it would cost $413 hundred to lay Phil ippine sugar down in New York, was disputed by Mir Brooks, who placed the figures at $3.55. The friends of the bill, he said. claimed that under it but 2o0OOO tons of Philippine sugar would come here. Beet sugar men were not afraid of that amount. but were afraid of the amount they themselves believed would come from 700 GOO tons to a million tons. The Filipino who manufactures the sugar, MT. Brooks said wears a breech clout for trousers. gets his dinner from cocoanut truce, and works for 15 cents a day. This is the labor that would be placed in competition with the American labor.

 "I sent to the drug store and got 8 cake of the Soap and a. box of the Ointment and followed the directions, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since.

Arraiqns Republican Party.

MT Lamar of Florida arraigned the republican party for departing from its foundations principle of protection It was. he said this protection that had built up the tobacco industry of his state. By the employment of Chinese in the sugar factories of the Philippines, MT. Lamar asserted an effectual repeal of the Chi nese exclusion act would be accomplish ed, so far as the industry is concerned. This, he said would benefit only the American Tobacco company.
 MT Lamar denounced the democratic position on the bill if 1t stood for treat ing the Filipinos as American citizens
 MT Clark of Florida took issue with the position of both parties on the bill It was not republican because it looked to free trade. He did not concur with his own party that the Philippines were a part of the United States, and conse- quently entitled to have all tariff barriers removed.
 MT. Clark asserted the bill was not meant for the benefit of the Filipino, but the sugar trust"
 A brief speech against the bill was made by Mir. Mccall of Massachusetts. As to the tariff. MT. Mccall announced he was in favor of a judcious revision of exist ing schedules. He predicted that Penn sylvania, Ohio and other states would join in this demand.
 T say to you," he concluded, that If you do not treat protection as a rational principle instead of cast iron immut- able system of success, then we are liable to have the democratic party and possibly the deluge."

Lonsworth Gives Impressions.

In a speech MT. LongwOrth of Ohio gave the House his impression of his Philip pine trip last summer. Mir.

He favored the bill as the best means of developing the Ffli- pino into a condition of elf-government. at which moment he would be more than glad to drop the islands.
 The passage of the bill he said. would not damage one iota any American in- dustry or American labor employed in that industry. No one after smoking a Philippine cigar would want another,
