TEE FINANCIAL FEELING AT LONDON.
tsrxcui. mHUx to Tin dispatch. 1
New Yoke, March 15. Special tele
grams to Bradstreet's indicate a moderate
improvement in ore, a seasonably active
movement of general trade at New York
city (to a moderate extent), at Pittsburg,
Xonisville, St Louis, Chicago, New Or
leans, Galveston, St. Joseph, Burlington,
Omaha, Kansas City and San Francisco.
This -warrants a report of a noticeable gain
in the distribution of general merchandise
over preceding weeks. It is true of all
lines at San Francisco, of staple supplies at
the Sontb, of groceries, fruits and furniture
and jewelry at New York, and of drygoodsf
agricultural implements, building materi
als and live hogs at central and far "Western
cities.
The more favorable weather is responsi
ble for a large portion of the gain. Interior
wagon roads are improved South, and mer
cantile collections are more prompt at Bur
lington, Detroit, Omaha, Chicago and else
where. "Wheat has been weaker and is io
.lower under the influence of an apparently
bullish Government crop report, which,
when analyzed, proves to be unquestionably
untrustworthy. The best available data
(which comprise Bradstreet's reports of
stocks) indicate a total of not less than
190,000,000 bushels of (visible and invisible)
wheat in the country on March 1, 1889,
against 210,000,000 bushels one year pre
viously. Flour is oft"1020e, and corn lc
STOCKS BEABISH.
Bearish influences and narrow trading
characterize the stock market. Fears of
European financial complications and of
higher money combine with weariness at
the inert speculation to create a downward
tendency in railroad shares. Investment
bonds are in demand, but less choice issues
tend to decline. Money at New York is
sensitive, but fairly easy. Call loans 23
ner cent. Foreign exchange is steadv and
was kept below the gold point by stock in
quiry. On Friday $1,250,000 was engaged
lor shipment Demand sterling, $1 8S'4'
4 89.
.Additional replies to Bradstreet's as to
cotton docks at interior towns have in
creased the total number of correspondents
reporting to 3,160 at 2,665 -towns. These
show an aggregate stock on February 26,
1889, at 1,020 towns of 170,586 bales of cot
ton, against 273,469 bales February 1, 1889,
a decline of 38 per cent. At 470 towns there
were on February 26.1889, 108,450 bales
against 131,650 bales February 22, 1888, a
decrease of 17 per cent.
There is less excitement as to copper.
Boston copper stocks are Very irregular and
weak, Calumet and Hecla and Tamarack
particularly showing losses. It appears that
the new contracts with the copper compa
nies will put a restriction of 20 per cent, not
on last year's actual output, but on the
maximum allowed under the former agree
ment, which, if true, will not necessarily re
sult in any large diminution ot production.
The loss of the Anaconda Copper Company
machinery by fire will iurther aid the work
of restriction.
IBON STEADT.
Iron is steady, but unchanged in price.
Cheaper coal will help makers of pig. Kails
are firm at $27, without enough business to
warraut talk of an advance. Anthracite
coal, which has been officially reduced 25
BOc, will be cut by some operators and deal
ers still further. Petroleum has been very
irregular, and closes lo lower on the
week.
New York and Boston drygoods jobbers
report seasonable activity in the demand for
spring and summer fabrics. Asrents report
leading makes of brown and bleached cot
tons sold well ahead, with only a moderate
demand for prints and ginghams. Prices
note no change. Print cloths and low
grade brown and bleached goods are firm,
but inactive in view of the restriction in
S reduction caused by the Fall Biver strike,
en's clothing is quiet Leading makes of
:assimeres are well sold ahead. Dress
goods are jobbing actively. Baw wool is 14
lc lower on light demand from manu
facturers only, who are supplying im
mediate wants. Cotton is in good demand
at an advance of 1-lGc on spots.
Baw sugar has advanced another cent
under reduced available supplies, notwith
standing freer warehouse deliveries. Be
fined at New York has been in good de
mand, and from 1-16 cent to 3-16 cent
higher. At New Orleans raw is i cent
higher, and active on light stocks and re
ceipts. Coffee options have declined, al
though reports from primary markets, in
cluding reduced crop, labor troubles, un
favorable weather, interrupted transporta
tion and smaller receipts, have nominally
favored an advance.
Business failures reported to Bradstreet's
number 195 in the United States this week,
against 221 last week and 141 this week last
year. Canada had 42 this week, against 36
last week. The total failures in the United
States January 1 to date are 3,143, against
2,626 in 1888.
toTJX'S -WEEKLY EEVTE-W.
B, G. Dun & Co'a. weekly review of trade
says: The great fall in the price of copper,
from about 80 to 50 per ton, at London,
appears to have come to stay. Liquidation
is a confessed necessity at Paris, and con
sumers in this country are looking for much
lower prices when contracts run out in
June. "While Boston stocks have declined
severely, there are no signs of disturbance
there,and rates for money are comparatively
easy. Prices at present are nearly nominal,
with scarcely any trading. Tin declined a
little and lead was weaker.
The monthly report of iron furnaces in
blast, contrary to general expectation, shows
a slight increase in February, the output
reaching 149,775 tons weekly March 1,
against 108,500 last year. The market for
bar iron is pronounced the poorest for many
years; the demand for car-building and
skelp iron has fallen off to almost nothing,
and while there is more demand for plate
iron, and the movement of pipe is fair for
the season, structural iron is gloomy, nails
show no improvement and are demoralized,
and steel rails are quoted at 527 50.
STEEL BAH. SALES.
Sales to March 1 have been 590,850 tons,
and deliveries 142,787 tons, and makers de
cided not to increase the allotment The
Government report showing 112,000,000
bushels of wheat in farmer's hands is re
garded hy operators sas an argument for
lower prices. "With" the visible supply,
32,000,000 bushels, there is thus in sight
about 31,000,000 bushels more than will be
required for food and seed until July 1, and
there is besides a large stock on the Pacific
coast, in country elevators and in the hands
of traders, not included in the visible supply,
and probably more than the ordinary stock
of flour on hand, the winter having been
open.
' "When it is considered that the ordinarv
stock of flour would probably exceed 30,000
bushels ol wheat and that last year's' ex
ports of wheat and flour, March 1 to July
1. cover but 28,000,000 bushels, the prospect
of scarcity seems remote. The price has
fallen 4 cents for the week, with sales of
65,000,000 bushels; here corn is 1 cent
lower and oats . Pork products are
unchanged. No change appears in coffee,
and but a fraction in oiL
OS 'CHANGE.
The stock market has been weak and
prices have declined an average of ft per
share. "With considerable selling by for
eigners, perhaps occasioned in part by fears
of disturbance at Paris, there was increased
disbeartenment, as to railroad prospects.
The traffic returns continue fairly ahead of
last year's, however, and the roojof the diffi
culty is still dissatisfaction of investors with
the manner in which corporations have been
managed.
The reports from the interior this week
almost uniformly indicate some improve
ment in business, though the complaint of
slow collections is about as general as be
fore. There is improvement in leather,
liquors, groceries and cattle. Money at all
interior markets remains in ample supply,
while at Milwaukee, Detroit and a few
minor points improvement in the de
mand is observed. The Treasury has
taken in during the week only
$400,000 more than it has paid out On the
whole, while the improvement in trade is
slow and narrow, it is clearly helped by the
failure of wheat and copper speculations,
and by the movement of prices toward a
lower level. For the week, the decline in
average prices of commodities has been
nearly half of 1 per cent
The business failures number 261, as com
pared with a total of 281 last week, and 232
the week previous. For the corresponding
week of last year the figures were 228.
FOREIGN nifAlt CIAL FEELING.
A dispatch from London says: The
Comptoir d'Fscompte, the copper ring and
the Societe des Metaux monopolize the at
tention of financiers. It is still hoped that
all will eventually meet their liabilities.
Although the magnitude of the losses is ap
palling, the effect will be circumscribed
among those actually interested. Neither a
widespread panic nor a general financial
disaster will ensue. '
On the London Stock Exchange to-day
American railroad securities declined on
large continental sales, closing flat The
Stock Exchange expected a Milwaukee div
idend of one-half or one per cent for the last
half of 1888; the dividend of two percent
for the year ending June, 1889, is much
criticised, only the January results being
known. The absence of an explanation
caused a suspicion which adversely afteoted
the tone of the market, which is completely
stagnant
A cable dispatch to the London Times
saying that the Pennsylvania Bailroad
meeting lasted only nine minutes caused
amazement here, the English shareholders
having expected some discussion with refer
ence to the large expenditure of capital in
recent years, and to the company's share in
the responsibility for the cutting of rates.
CITI AMBULANCE COEPS.
Badges Will Likely be Adopted by the City
Hospital Corps.
Superintendent Cowan, of the "West Penn
Hospital, has determined to secure badges
for his corps of ambulance physicians and
nurses. He proposes to have them approved
and issued by the Department of Public
Safety.
The need of such-badges, he says, was
brought forward very prominently at the
"Willey building disaster, and the more re
cent boiler explosion. His nurses, in many
cases, have to parley with officious police
officers and lose time by doing so.
If the "West Penn Hospital adopts a
badge, it is likely that the other ambulance
corps in this city will also be given badges.
A badce similar to that of the Bed Cross
will likely be adopted.
THE NEW TORE CENTENNIAL.
Unique and Valuable Relics to be Used nt
the Ceremonies.
A gentleman from New York says the
centennial celebration in New York on
April 30 will be a fine affair.. The chair
used at the first inauguration in 1789 will
be used at the centennial celebration exer
cises. It will be occupied by President Har
rison while Chauncey M. Depew delivers
the oration. The Bible upon which Chan
cellor Livingston delivered the oath to
George "Washington will also be used.
The military pageant, it is said, will sur
pass that of the inaugural ceremonies, if the
Pennsylvania troops attend.
EAST END MASONS.
It I Proposed to Erect a Lurce Mnionlc

Application has been made for a charter
by the Hailman Lodge and Duquesne Lodge
and Chapter, of Masons, of East Liberty,
for the purpose of forming a stock company
for the erection of a Masonic Hall in East
Libertv, to be used bv the lodges named.
The capital stock is $50,000. The site has
not yet Deen chosen.
As soon as the charter is granted steps
will be taken by the proper committees
toward selecting an architect and construct

He says he inquired at the general office in
Chicago about it but the managers told him
the report was a hoax.
It is claimed by some local commercial

Alleged Embezzlers.
Gottlieb Gilgen and Henry Bupp, agents
of the Cresent Brewing Company, of Aurora,

WHAT CUT COOU OUT.
An Explanation of the Manner in
Which Mr. Bachellor Was Made
SECRETARY WINDOM'S ASSISTANT.
A New Torpedo Boat to Be the Equal ef Any
in the European Navies.
SENATOR CHACE TO EESIGN MONDAY
"Washington, March 15. Secretary
"Windom's attention was to-day called to a
newspaper statement that he was overruled.
in the matter of the appointment of Assist
ant Secretary Bachellor. The story was
that he had tendered the place to Mr. Coon,
and tint the latter had accepted it, and that
the appointment of Mr. Bachellor was in
direct opposition to his wishes. It was
further stated that Mr. Bachellor, "Piatt's
man," would have control of the Treasury
patronage. Mr. "Windom said that he did
not usually notice newspaper criticisms,
but that this was so unfair and misleading
that he did not like to let it go unchal
lenged. As a matter of fact, Mr. "Windom said,
the President had specially referred this ap
pointment to him and had acted in accord
ance with his recommendation in appoint
ing Mr. Bachellor. It was true that Mr.
Coon had been considered in connection
with this office. He was regarded as pos
sessing excellent qualifications for it, by
reason of his knowledge and experience. It
was never tendered to, him, however, and
consequently he bad not accepted it The
appointment of Mr. Bachellor was made
alter careful consideration and was in no
sense a reflection upon Mr. Coon.
Mr. Windom said that it was absurd to
say that any Assistant Secretary would
have control of the Treasury appointments.
That was a matter entirely in the hands of
the President and himself, and was not
likely to be relegated to any other official.
The Secretary said that, so far as he knew,
Mr. Bachellor could not be considered as
anybody's "man."
SENATOR CHACE TO RETIRE.
He Declares the Report to be Bosh, bat It
Proves to be True.
"Washington. March 15. The pub
lished report that Senator Chace, of Bhode
Island, had declared an intention to resign
his seat in the Senate next Monday, was
shown to him by an Associated Pressre
porter this morning. He declined to either
affirm or deny its truth, saying that he had
not resigned, but further would not speak.
As he glanced overthelines, his head slowly
shook from side to side in'a negative lash
ion, and as he came to the words "The rea
son assigned for his action is that the cli
mate of Washington is not suitable for the
Bhode Island man," he broke out with the
single word "Bosh."
A Senator stated to the reporter that at
the caucus yesterday, the contemplated
resignation was announced, and the speeial
committee of seven, headed by Senator
Piatt, was continued with a view to filling
the committee vacancies that will be occa
sioned by Senator Chace's retirement The
reasons announced in the caucus for the
resignation are said to have been of a busi
ness nature; that he was unable longer to
neglect his affairs at home. He had intended
not to be a candidate for re-election, but for
political reasons, it is said, it was deemed
best for him to accept a re-election and be
sworn in.
The Legislature is still in session, and a
successor in case of Mr. Chace's resignation
can be elected without delay. Among the
persons spoken of as likely to be candidates
lor the nomination are Lyman B. Goff, Ben-
i'amin N. Nappum, ex-Governor George
?eabody Wetmore and H. J. Spooner. mem
ber of Congress. Senator Alurich is now
in Providence, and a meeting will be held,
it is said, by the Bhode Island people here
in a short time to select a candidate for the
office.
A FIRST-CLASS TORPEDO BOAT.
Encouraging Reports Received From the
One Now Being Built.
"Washington, March 15. Encouraging
reports come to the Navy Department re
specting the torpedo boat now building at
the Herreshoff works, in Bhode Island. The
inspectors say that the material nsed is of
high quality and the work of good Jcharao
ter. Before the 1st of March most oi the
steel skin was in place, only one course re
maining to be riveted on the hull. The
deck plates are on as far as practicable, the
quadruple expansion engines have been set
up in "the shop and the contractors expect to
complete the boat'.by June 1, next, which is
the dsleflxed in the contract
The, boat is required to make 22 knots an
hour, and any deficiency on this score will
subject the contractors to penalties, while
for any excess of speed above 23 knots they
will receive a bonus. If the new craft (the
first of the kind in American shipbuilding,
fulfills the requirements of which there is
little doubt it will be the fleetest boat in
the United States, and fully equal to any
possessed by the European navies.
FISH POACHERS IN DANGER.
The Government to Protect Its Salmon Flh
ertes In Alaska.
"Washington, March 15. In company
with D. Brown Goode, of the United States
Fish Commission, Senator Stockbridge,
Chairman of the Committee on Fisheries,
to-day called upon Secretary Windom with
reference to the act recently passed for the
protection of the salmon fisheries in Alaska.
The act makes it unlawful to erect or main
tain any obstruction in the rivers of Alaska
with the purpose or result of impeding or
preventing the ascent of salmon or other
anadromous species to their spawning
grounds, and affixes a minimum penalty of
$250 a day for the violation thereof.
Last year, it is said, certain parties, by
the aid ot dams, captured millions of fish,
and they are reported to be making ready
for another campaign this year. The mat
ter has been referred to the law offices of
the Treasury Department, who will at once
prepare the necessary orders for carrying
into effect the provisions ot the act
QUANTITY NOT ALWAYS QUALITY.
Lightweight Men Found to Often Mako
Good Cavalrymen.
"Washington, March 15. General Scho
field has issued a circular to the army an
nouncing that the maximum, age for cavalry
recruits upon original enlistment is fixed at
30 years; also that the standard of minimum
weight fof cavalry recruits, established in
June, 1887, is abolished, and that hereafter
enlistments In that service may be made
without regard to a minimum weight, pro
vided the chest measurement and chest mo
bility $re satisfactory.
About two years ago the weight required
was established, and the practice has dem
onstrated that it is of no value as a test of
the qualifications of recruits. It has been
found thai men of comparatively light
weight, when properly proportioned, are as
efficient and capable cavalrymen as heavy
men.
Land .Released by Proclamation.
"Washington, March 15. By procla
mation thePresident'has leleased from res
ervation the southeast quarter oi section 6,
township 36 North, range 9 east in.the dis
trict of lands at "Wausau, Wis. These
lands were reserved for the purpose of river
improvement in 1881.
Only One Proposal Received.
"Washington, March. 15. There was
wi
IDISPATCH,' 'SATTJBDiAT.t
but one proposal received by the Navy De
partment for supplying the machinery of
the armored cruiser Maine, now building at
the New York Navy Yard. This bid was
made by the Quintard Iron Company, of
New York (N. F. Palmer, Jr.. & Co.), and
amounted to 5735,000.
ENLARGING THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
The President Soon to Add 8,000,680
Acres by a Scratch of the Pen.
"Washington, March 15. The Cabinet
to-day had under discussion the opening of
Oklahoma, or at least a portion of theyterri
tory included within its limits. The Presi
dent is authorized by the terms of recent
legislation to open to settlement about 8,000,
000 acres of land, and the oninion prevails
that he will shortly issue his proclamation
adding that acreage to the public domain.

HOT YET SATISFIED.
Bailroad Men Claim That Pooling; Prevents
Bate' Catting They Are Anxious to Be
tnrn to the Old System.
"Bailroad men will never be satisfied un
til they are allowed to return to the old
pooling system," said a commercial agent
yesterday. "In my experience in the rail
road business I must cay that I never knew
a rate to be cut when the "Western pool was
in existence. Since pools were abolished
by law there has been no end to the cutting
and slashing, and finally, to stop the prac
tice, Congress has had to make it a penal of
fense. "The shippers are all at sea. They never
know under the present modus operandi
when they have an inside rate. The manu
facturers usually make contracts for so
much, including delivery, and it is neces
sary that they know exactly how much the
rate will be and that it is tbe lowest. "When
rebates were comuon the profits of makers
on contracts came out of the earnings of the
railroads in the form of rebates. The coal
men admit to-day that what they made in
the past was what the railroads returned
to them out of the rates. Those coal
men who had a pull underbid their com-
Eetitors, and trusted to the railroads to
elp them out for the privilege of carrying
the freight The roads didn't lose any
thing; in fact they made more money than
they do now. I am glad that the rebate
system is abolished, but I do favor pools.
"So far this year rates have been strictly
maintained. The roads are not carrying
mncn ireignt, out tne revenues seem to be
as large as when they carried twice the
amount at the lower rates. There is bound
to be a boom shortly, and I am waiting
patiently for it"
MORE WATER.
Four Boats Start for Lower Porta With
Light Tows of Coal.
There was a good stage of water yester
day and a number of boats were preparing
to "go out with light tows. The J. C.
Bisher, Percy Kelsy and JoeWalton started
with good, loads. The Jim Gilmore left for
Marietta with a tow of flats, and from that
placewill go up the Kanawha river for
empties.
The Diamond was scheduled to leave last
night
The Penny, Little Bill and Acorn got in
yesterday morning with tows of barges. The
water was about eight feet deep and rising.
There is still some snow in the mountains at
the head waters of both rivers, and the warm
weather of the; past few days quickly turned
it into aqua.

Letters From the Catholic Clersy ana
Temperance Men How Ther Will Tote
oa tbe Pending; Amendment.
Bevr Father Sheedy, pastor of St. Mary
of Mercy's Church, at the Point, yesterday
received an advance copy of a journal pub
lished in the Interests of tbe Catholic tem
perance societies at Philadelphia, contain
ing the yiews of clereymen and other
Catholics throughout the State on the
prohibition amendment Among those who
wrote letters on the matter are Archbishop
Byan, of Pniladelphia, whose views have
been published in The Dispatch. In the
letter the Archbishop says:
High license is sufficient to give the desired
end, as far av mere legislation can attain It
More stringent laws could be enacted If found
necessary without touching the Constitution
itself.
Ber. A. A. Lambing, of "Wilkinaburg,
the historian of this diocese, says:
I am strongly opposed to the amendment but
equally In favor of high license. It is a weak
ness of our Government both 8tate and na
tional, that we wish to legislate for the cure of
every disorder, and then fail to enforce tho
laws properly when we have secured their
enactment
Father H. McEroy, of Meyersdale, who
is well known in this city writes:
By desiring high license I do not set up a
tavern at my neighbor's door; the judge, the
applicant and the neighbor attend to that
The more prohibition here the worse. The
Maryland line Is at hand.
The other letters are from pastors of
churches, all in Pennsylvania and in dif
ferent sections of the State. "With but one
exception, all of the clergy are opposed to
prohibition. Nearly all of the leaders of
temperance societies are opposed to the
amendment Among the latter who wrote
letters are Humphrey Lynch, President of
st Andrews cnurcn society in Aiiegneny.
He is decidedly opposed to it, and will vote
against the amendment
Martin L J. Griffin, one of the national
officers of the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union, has written a letter to Father Lam
bing, of this diocese, in which be takes ex
ceptions to the latter's remarks for prohibi
tion. In the letter the writer citiclses Fa
