THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1898.
MAY CREATE NEW
CABINET OFFICE
PNE KAY BE ESTABLISHED TOB
COLONIAL CONTROL.
ffhe President' Considering the Pro
posalIt May Be Teaalblo to Com
bine with It a Department of
Commerce The Tariff and Our
New Dependencies.
New York. Sept. 23. Tho Washing
ton correspondent of tho Commercial
Advertiser says:
To administer the affairs of the en
larged foreign policy of the United
States, it Is not unlikely that ft new
cabinet office will be created. As. yet
the proposal has not crystallized, but
the president has given the subject
serious consideration, and after the
ncaca commission has determined tho
final disposition of the Philippines It
4b ni-nVinViln Mint hn 111 rnrnmmnnd tllf I
creation of a secretary of the colonies,
In accordance with the practice of Ku
ropean governments having colonial
possessions. The manifold duties which
would devolve on members of the ad
ministration In case the United States
become the governors not only of Por
to Hlco and the Hawaiian Islands,
but of Cuba, the Philippines and one
of the Ladrones, would make Impera
tive a separate department for the col
onies. It has been suggested that these
duties could be cornbli.ed with the of
llce of a department of commerce, tho
establishment of which has been agi
tated In. congress for several years
but even without the collaboration of
the duties of tho two departments, our
foreign possessions are cpccted to fur
nish ample work to warrant the estab
lishment of a separate cabinet office.
An effort will bo made. It Is said, to
maintain natives In the minor offices
of our new possessions wherever prac
ticable. At first It would probably be
found necessary to appoint some of the
higher Judicial officers from the United
States, but even In this matter prefer
ence would bo given to local officers In
case they proved their capacity for tho
office In question.
It Is apparent, from tho adoption of
special tariff regulations In Cuba and
Porto rtlco, that the effort will not bo
seriously made to extend the protective
tariff of tho United States over the
new dependencies. It Ib probable that
the policy Inaugurated of establishing
uniform duties against all countries,
including the governing country, will
be continued. This Is tho only policy
with which the United States can face
Russia and Germany with any degree
of consistency and self-respect and ask
That the new territory opened In China
be free to the commerce of tho world.
WONDERFUL ACTIVITY
IN WESTERN CENTERS
Business in the West Excels That
o? the Eastern Markets Boom in
Iron and Steel.
New Tork, Sept, 23. n. G. Dun &
Co.'s Review of. Trade will say tomor
row: Europe will have to consider possible
American demands for money much
more anxiously In the future. Doubt
less there has been for many years a
feeling that the new continent could
be put off with promises. But tho con
trol of this country over money mar
ekts In the old world Is coming to bo
that of a master. Our banks lend over
there heavily when It Is the most con
venient market for them, but they draw
on Europe whenever they want money
and no longer have occasion to limit
their drafts.
This country Is not drawing on Eu
rope as largely to pay for breadstuffs
as It did a year ago and yet wheat ex
ports for the week, flour Included, have
been 3,063,204 bushels from Atlantic
ports against 3,667,868 last year, and
643,417 from Pacific ports against 1,
004,893 last year, making for eight
weeks 10,203,941 from both coasts, flour
Included, against 19,669,129 last year.
Prices have risen sharply about four
cents for the week and the exports of
corn, though not as large as last year,
have been heavy In comparison with
any other year. The price slightly ad
vanced. The reports from different cities dis
close a wonderful activity at the chief
centers of western trade, the dispatches
from Chicago, St. Paul and St. Louis
being especially significant. To east
ern dealers It may be hard to realize
that such extraordinary activity exists
at the west, although their own trade
Is excellent. Even In eastern markets
It Is commonly said that no larger
trade has ever been known unless In
1892, but the western cities are running
things much after their own taste this
year, having greater advantages than
ever before In heavy bank balances and
while the exchanges for the week fall
below those of last year 3.5 per cent.,
they are 13.1 per cent, larger than In
the same week In 1892. The Iron and
steel trade expands with a rapidity
which throws Into the shade all ex
pectations with a steel famine In Gei
many and Great Britain In the market
for ten thousand tons of plates, and the
American works are crowded for
months ahead. New orders at Chicago
cover 30,000 tons tin plate bars, besides
7,000 tons sold at Philadelphia, Ralls
are In such demand that the makers

I LOTS AT NEW ORANGE, N. J.
! Price, $325. Payable Monthly. 1
Twelve miles from New York city. 600 trains pass in the vicin
ity of New Orange daily, to and from the Great Metropolis,
via D., L. & W., Jersey Central, Philadelphia & Read
ing, Baltimore & Ohio, and Lehigh Valley Railroads.
WHY WILL. LOTS ADVANCE:?
1 The establishment of manufacturing plants at New Orange,
with the capacity to employ ten thousand people, the building of
belt road and trolley lines, the location of factories, and the con
struction of houses for residents, building of business blocks
to be occupied for stores, the building of hotels, churches and
school houses, invariably bring about an appreciation of the
values of real estate in close proximity to the place where this
change is going on, doubling, quadrupling or increasing it ten
fold because of concentration

are to meet 'With expectation of ad
vancing prices, somo sales having been
made from Chicago below agreed quo
tations for delivery at tho far west.
Plates are strong everywhere, but on
account of car construction, especially
strong at Chicago, and the demand for
bars on the same account is heavy,
with one order at Chicago for 1,000 and
several others for BOO cars each. Prices
have slightly advanced for plates, bars
and for wire nails, which are In much
better demand than heretofore.
The textile Industries arc not sharing
the general Improvement to a full ex
tent, In part because the heavy de
cline In cotton with largo stocks of
goods accumulating, makes the mills
disposed to wait for future develop
ments and In part because the prlco
of wool Is hlRher than the mills are at
present disposed to pay.
Pilnt cloths are a shade lower and
alro brown drills and In somo woolen
goods, and ladles' cloths, prices are
slightly raised.
Failures for the week have been 171
In the United States against 201 last
year and 16 In Canada against 28 last
year.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Bcpt. 23. There was only a.
ripplo hero and there on the surface ot to
day's market. Thero were wldo gapi In
tho list ot usually actlvo stocks, and the
prominent securities which moved at all
did so In a sluggish and hesitating man
ner and on a small volume of trading.
Tho bears seemed to have the upper hand
at tho opening and clipped the prlco ot
St. Paul a point In addition to the 2,4 per
cent, dividend which was token oft today.
General Elcctrlo new stocks, Bugar, Met
ropolitan 8tret railway and People's
Gas nil Bhowcd declines ranging Horn a
sharp fraction up to nearly H Sugar
showed resistance and drifted back to tho
neighborhood of last night's closing price.
With that tho market fell Into a torpor,
tho bears being discouraged from fuitlier
operations in face of the harness of prices
and tho easier tendency of the money
market, and tho bulls being disinclined to
renew tho campaign until conditions in
the money market become moro Bettlcd,
Tho total sales were 253,700 shares.
