publishers of such periodicals and books
as are excluded under the recent order
to comply with the regulations, the pur-
pose being not to work any undue hard-
ship by immedately cutting them out of
the second class mail.
There was a disposition on the part of
some of the firms that will suffer most
under a strict enforcement of the law
to contest the new regulations in court.
It is gratifying to the postoffice officials
to learn that, where these firms have con-
sulted the best legal authority they have
been advised to abandon their purpose to
enter suit, as an examination of the law
shows they would have no case. This ad-
vice was given to one of the largest
firms, whose books will be excluded un-
der the new regulation, by one of the best
lawyers in the United States. In order
that there may be no harsh eniorcement
yed.

Chinamen Cannot Land.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Taylor received telegrams from ship-
owners and masters of vessels lately ar-
rived in San Francisco stating that ow-
ing to the strike there they are unable
to unload their vessels and '‘ng that
Chinamen employed on the ships te
permitted to unload the vessels. The
masters and owners guarantee to the
government that the Chinamen will not
be permitted to go beyond the wharves
and to prevent their escape. Secretary
Taylor has replied, holding that this
would be a violation of the Chinese Ex-
clusion Act and refusing to allow the
Chinamen to go upon the docks.
Tardy Justice for Heroes.
There is to be a supplemental report
by the Board of awards appointed by
Secretary I.ong to consider and report
upon the reeommendations made by
commanding officers relative to rewards
to officers under them during the Span-
ish War. It was found that when the
first list was made up that quite a num-
ber of officers deserving of cansidera-
tion had been overlooked in the early
reperts upon which the board acted, and
from time to time the attention of the
department has been called to these
omissions.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.
New York (Special.)—R. G. Dun &
Cos “Weekly Review of Trade” says:
“Continued faverable weather condi-
tions have resulted in the saving of
much late-planted corn, and in the
Northwest ideal weather for spring
wheat harvest has been enjoyed. As
this is the point that business in all
parts of the country has been most
carefully watching, the general feeling
is better than a week ago.
“Official returns of pig iron produc-
tion in the first half of the year show a
record-breaking aggregate of 7,674,713
tons, exceeding the remarkable output
of the previous year by 32,044 tons.
“Violent fluctuations have marked
the course of corn prices. The top
point of the previous week was not re-
gained, but traders on the short side of
the market were compelled to cover at
a loss. The decrease in marketing is
not in proportion to the advance in
price. Whatever benefit may have ac-
crued from the high level of prices, it
certainly has driven foreign buyers out
of the market, Atlantic exports for the
week amounting to only 764,178 bush-
els, against 3,100,031 a year ago. Wheat
is of less interest to speculators, but in
legitimate trading it is especially act-
ive.
“Bradstreet’s” says: “Business fail-
ures in the United States for the week
were 160, as against 199 last week, 170
this week a year ago, 156 in 18009, 160
in 1808 and 214 in 1807.”
