DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Improved Financial Conditions
Strengthen Confidence.
STEEL OUTLOOK IS CHEERFUL
Several Railroads ina Market for
Equipment-Dry Goods Trade
fl More Active.

NEW YORK. Feb. 19.-R. G. Dun's
Weekly Review Of Trade today says: s.
Improved financial conditions serve to
strengthen business confidence. Senti-
ment in iron and steel is more cheerful
now that the United States Steel corpora
pig iron, although the situation on the
whole in this division still remains some
what disappointing. No cancellations are
reported, however, and shipments are well
sustained, except where severe weather
has delayed transportation. Some railroads
have found IT necessary to replenish old
rolling stock because of the wear and
tear caused by an unusually hard winter,
and a western system alone, has placed
an order for seventy-fiye locomotives.
Activity is especially pronounced In the
wire trade, and the reported weakening OF
prices is not general. The dry goods job
bling trade was more active this week, and
a large sale of dress goods in a leading
New York house proved eminently sue
~cessful. Many buyers have been operating
in all departments Of the market, but
show no speculative spirit. In the opinion
Of large jobbing house managers the busi-
ness OF the week was up to normal for
this season. The primary dry goods mar
kets are still not entirely satisfactory,
as competition for business Is close. Some
buy ISoi Is noted noted, at ! FsT @ss 4 Q 40 cents FzD6 ost
cotton goods trade is lacking. The larger
wooden and wOrsted corporations are Sc
curing business, but the smaller concerns
are not making satisfactory headway'
Yarns continue slow and generally weak.
Improvement is noted in the shoe trade;
buyers no longer hesitate, a good volume
of orders are received and factories are
we'll supplied. The leather markets show
renewed activity, and some large sales OF
sole heather are reported at Boston at
close to the recent quotations. Pronounced
weakness continues in all kinds of domes,
tic hides and foreign dry hides have SOLD
at &c reduction from former selling rates.
Prices on about all varieties of packers
and country hides are purely nominal, as
there are no sales Of account and buyers
and sellers are considerably apart in their

club last evening furnished a great treat
to THOSE who attended and the rooms were

need for a lively p~re-primary campaign.
He also emphasized the need for nom
mating such a ticket as will hold the re-
publican voters to their own list of candi-
dates.
Fire and Police Commissioner Hoye
elaborated on the thought expressed by
Mr.. Ziegler, that the club should so gov
ern itself in all it's work that nobody could
say it was following dark lantern methods;
that men of every element of the party
should be invited in to give their views
and be listened to with such attention that
their presentments could be intelllgently
discussed afterward.
Discussion VIII BE Open.
President Ryder said that is the inten-
tion and that at every meeting those at
tending can post themselves on what is

regret that several gentlemen who were

f. S, Tucker of Florence in a short

DRIFTED 100 MILES,

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The Hy-
geographic Office has just come upon
a case of more than usual interest
in that an abandoned ship has drift
ed westward for 100 miles in 11S
days through the middle of the Sar-
gasso Sea. This sea is an egg-shaped
area in the latitude OF Florida, begin
ming some 400 miles east of Jupiter
and extending thence easterly for
100 miles to about the Both meridi-
an.
1t is characterized by an unusual
quantity of sea-weed, but traditions
and popular writings have peopled it
with all kinds of floating debris, in
Guiding abandoned ships. Practical
navigators, however, have found no
trouble in traversing it in all direc-
.tions, and the drift of the abandoned
Norwegian bark Crown. above refer
red to, goes to show that popular
superstition is no doubt once more in
error.

GERMANY,s NAVY.

Before the end of this year Ger
many will have surpassed the United
States in the race for naval supreme
cy," George White, OF New York,
naval architect, said 20 a Washington
Post reporter.
Germany will soon be the second
naval power, and will be next to
Great Britain alone in tonnage and
number and power of guns" contin-
ued Mr.. White. Emperor William
and his advisers, who have the back
ing of practically the whole German
nation, intend to make Germany, if
possible, the first naval power in the
world.
at has become an economic me-
cessity for Germany to have a great
navy, because she cannot expand in
any way except commercially, and
to have a worldwide commerce,
which must be secure from moles-
tation or attack, she must have a ma
Wy strong enough to defend her in
terests in every foreign land, and on
every sea. The Germans aim not at
being the second naval power, but
the first. OF course, it will take a
great many years OF warship building
for her to acquire a navy as large as
or superior to that of Great Britain,
but she is laying her plans to this
end.
Last summer l spent two months
in German seaports and in Berlin on
business, and was surprised to dis
cover that the German people, almost
as a whole, are bent on having the
greatest navy in the world. There
are several patriotic leagues in the
empire which have for their purpose
agitation for a greater navy, and they
have been successful in educating the
people to its desirability."

AMERICAN WOMAN
MARRIES A KOREAN

The Picking Daily News says:
A Japanese paper published in
Seoul prints a strange story concern
ing an American lady and her Korean
lover. 1t is to the effect that a few
years ago a Korean named vi Chon-
gsu of Hachimyou in Taiku district,
South Kyongsangdo, emigrated to
Hawaii. While working there he
became seriously i'll and was attend
ed by an American doctor. For a
year or so, the Korean was unable to
recover his health. In the meantime
the American doctor died, but his
widow out of pity secured for the
Korean patient the services of an
other doctor and tenderly nursed him
until he had completely recovered his
health. All the while love grew be-
tween them and at last the widow
married the Korean. Mrs. vi re

TELLS
Of THE HEN

An article appearing recently in a
paper in the states regarding the
increase in the output of the egg crop
in Kansas inspired Filipino student
in Manila to dilate on the subject
thusly:
"The Kansas hen and her numer-
GUS offspring, the egg, are the great
wonders. of peoples of the all world.
Thus speaks the United papers, who
state that because of the more strong
hens of that state, the eggs from
there are much more than others.
Much interest in eggs are take in
Philippines Islands, where though
not big, eggs are also sometimes
good, but China eggs are strong but
not so good. United papers say that
when good care is made of the hen,
she get strong as does also her egg,
which is very good advice for pro.
prietors of hens here and must be
done.

RUSSIA ADOPTS
PUBLICITY PLAN

Russia, the nose conservative of
civilized countries, says the Courier
Journal, has at last recognized the
power of printers ink, and the folly
of attempting to suppress the news.
The Russian government is to estab-
fish a press bureau with a view to
cultivating closer relations with the
correspondents of newspapers and
news agencies. The official press
agent will be a son OF the Russian
Ambassador at Paris.
This is a significant event in Rus
sian affairs. 1t is tantamount to a
proclamation that those in power in
Darkest Russia" have observed the
methods of foreign governments III
treating with the newspapers of the
world and recognizes the fact that the
age Of censorship and suppression has
passed. This is not only a recogni-
ton of the power of the press, as
collector and dissemination of news
with which it is wiser to treat than
to fight, but also a recognition of the
value of getting into print the most
favorable reports of Russian develop
ments and policies that it is possible
for diplomacy to secure.
Russia may, perhaps, have learned
something about the Importance of
press agency during the recent war
with Japan when the Japanese were
cnducting at Tokyo the most re-
markable press bureau that had been
established by any government. The
Japanese entered the war with a full
appreciation of the tremendous DOS.
sibilities of manipulating news as
we'll as plugging up certain news
channels.
BY preventing war correspondents
from learning too much about affairs
at the front and at the same time
overwhelming them with hospitalitv.
flooding them with information fav-
orable to the japanese government
and to the Japanese as a race. they
executed a coup that deserves hon
orable mention in world history. War
correspondents were allowed more Ia.
titude of action within the Russian
lines than with the Japanese army.
but there was no organized effort to
coddle and influence representatives
OF newspapers and magazines or
writer's of books. The result was
that the reading world received an
impression of Japan that was alto
gether rosy and somewhat mislead.
ing and Russia received few favor
able notices. The Japanese govern
ment is no less alive to the value of
publicity during times of peace than
IN times of war. 1t has conducted
finely organized publicity system
since the closing OF hostilities.
The immediate effect of the Rus
sian project will be to establish an
entente cordiale between the press
and Russia that will tend to decrease
the mutual distrust of intentions that
mas existed between the news gath
erers and the Russian officials. but
Russia will be unwise if she follows
