In Plymouth church,
few days ago,
consider the present ccndition of Cuba.
Addresses were made by Rev. Dr. Ly-
man Abbott, Wiliam Willard Howard,
Rev. Herbert M. Allen and others.
Mr. Howard described the condition
of Cuba as he had seen it, and pointed
out that the only remedy for the cxist-
ing misery lay in giving employment
to the poor. He introduced
relief among the Armenians in Turkey
during his two years' work as a relief
commissioner among the Armenians.
Resolutions were adopted indorsing a
plan for Cuban industrial relief as a
practical and effective means of help-
ing the Cuban poor
by providing for them emplovment
stead of indiscriminate gifts and tem-
porary relief. \

GEN. MILES' REPORT.
It Contains No Unjust Criticism of the War
Department.
The report of Maj.-Gen. Miles, com-
manding the United States army, was
made public last week by direction of
Secretary Alger. The Keynote of the
report is found in one of the opening
sentences, where it is said:
“The military operations during the
year have been extraordinary, unusual
and extensive,” a statement which is
fully borne out by the long recitai of
important events which Gen. Miles
shows have made the military history
of the year 1898 the most remarkable
since the end of the civil war.
In point of interest the document di-
vides naturally into four chapters, for,
while brief allusion is made to such
matters as the military expeditions to
Alaska, interest naturally centers in
that portion which treats of the war
with Spain.
Under this general head the report
deals with plans of campaign and war
preparations; with the Santiago cam-
paign; with Gen. Miles’ operations in
Forto Rico, and lastly with the im-
changes in existing organiza-
which are, in Gen. Miles’ opinion,

TRADE REVIEW
Preceding
BR. G.
reports

Dun &
as follows
Co.'s: review of trade
for last week: The
has safely passed the trial of
“off year” elections. Before this elee-
tion everything except political un-
certainties favored business enlarge-
ment. ‘The volume of trade has been
the greatest ever known in any month
except December, 1892. The record on
November thus far shows clearings
10.4 per. cent. larger than last year
and 9.3 per cent. larger than in 1892.
The ratiroad earnings in October have
been 5.2 per cent. larger than last year
and $ per cent. larger than in 1892.
Foreign trade shows an increase of
2 per cent. in Qctober .in exports;
with 38 per cent. in exports from New
York last week, while imports showed
a gain of only 22 per cent. in October,
and credits against foreign bankers
were piling up at an inconvenient
rate. There is absolutely no anxiety
about the currency, and the treasury
is only too strong. When enormous
exports of products are considered,
it seems quite impossible for the coun-
try to meet with serious monetary
trouble, especially in view of past
surplus in favor of this couniry.
Wheat declined nearly a cent, but
recovered all the loss, with Atlantic
exports, flour ncluded, of 3,335,509
bushels, against 3.274.480 last -vear,
and Pacific xports 1,016,951 bushels,
against 1: last yet Western
receipts 9 5 bushe the week,
against 7 14 last y , continue to
render the holding back of stocks
manifestly a failure. Corn = has: but
slightly chan d in price with ex-
ports § bushels, against 2,-
and an increase of
half in western receipts.
Cotton remains at the lowest prices on
record, with heavy receipts and with-
out large milling demand.
Iron production November 1
228.935 tons - weekly, against
October 1, and a decrease is
35,241 tons in stocks unsold
the holdings of the great steel
panies, indicating an actual consump-
tion of 1.019646 tons in October, about
253 tons daily greater than the largest
ever shown in any previous nionth on
record. The export demand is beyond
all dreams, 40,000 tons: rails for
northern ° Europe and 100.000 tons
plates, besides 4,500 tons billets from
Pittsburg alone, witl: great quantities
of bars, rods, wire and other finished
product. ‘The works are generally
filled with orders, including many
from ocean and lake shipyards, and
many for cars, with seasonable de-
mand for other products.
The minor metals still advance,
largely with the I.ondon demand, tin
to 18.30 cents and copper to 12.62
cents bid for lake, with lead steady at
3.72% cents in spite of heavy Mexican
arrivals.
Wool sales for the past week were
only 4,735,000 pounds at the three chief
eastern markets, and were secured by
concessions at all markets, as last
week, making 18,234,900 pounds,
against 16,652,902 for the same twa
weeks last year and 12,259,600
pounds for the same weeks in 1892.
Many holders are refusing to abate
their prices, though large manufac-
turers bid below current market
prices, because of their uncertainty in
regard to the demand for woolen
goods, which has somewhat improved,
and yet not greatly.
It is growing in the minds of holders
of wool at the East that the supply
of foreign and domestic wool on hand
is much greater than has heretofore
been supposed. Cotton goods are, on
thé whole, in better demand, although
slightly lower, and little can be said
of encouraging character as to the de-
mand for staple goods of domestic
use.
