BUSINESS IIII IIISIIII
___.—
The Trade Outlook Continues Its Very
Rapid Improvement.
O
GREAT. DEMAND roe MONEY.
The Ups and Downs of Wheat Prices—The
Cotton Mills Are Doing Well, With
Satisfactory Orders Ahead—The
Failures of the Week. '
NEW YORK, June 8,—R. G. Dun 85 00’s
weekly review of trade says: The tide of
business is rising, even as it was falling
just two years ago, with surprising rapid-
ity. The gain has gone so far and so fast
in some branches that the more conserva-
tive fear it may not be maintained. But
- the period of dullness which comes in each
market after an unusual rise brings as yet
nothing like a corresponding decline. In-
dustries gain much, halt or fall back a lit-
tle and then gain once more.
mand for consumption steadily increases
as the employment and wages of the peo-
ple increase. Demand for money expands,
one bank‘ reporting 29 per cent larger dis-
counts for the country and another 23 per
cent more commercial loans than a year
ago, and all but tWo report some gain”.
One serious question remains, whether the
crops Will be full enough to sustain a large
business. But the Worst reports today are
better by far than the estimates recently
current. '
Wheat‘rose 2 cents, fell back 2 with real-
izing. and has again risen 8, with western
estimates of a crop 80,000,000 bushels
smaller than last year. It is pertinent to
remember that official and most unofficial
reports down to a late period last fall put
the yield about 80,000,000 bushels lower
than it is new known to have been. There
is neither holding. back by farmers nor
anxious haste in purchasing by foreigners,
to'support belief in scarcity. Corn clOses
1 cent higher, and pork has risen 25 cents
per barrel, though lard has fallen 20 cents
per 100 pounds.
Cotton declined an eighth with better
weather at the south, but excitement and
prices rose again With the report of only
11.6 per cent decrease in acreage. Much
greater decrease had been called certain,
but condition is reported less favorable
than last year. With a tenth smaller yield
per acre, and acreage 11.6 per cent less
than last year, the yield would still exceed
7,700,000 bales. which, with heavy stocks
carried over, would forbid the idea of fam-
ine. But a late crop is the more exposed to
injury. June began with 9,553,393 bales
already in sight, and 3,302,350 American
remaining in commercial stocks, while
European spinners held May 1 over 1,000,-
000 bales, according to Ellison.
Cotton and Knit Goods.
Cotton mills are doing well, with very
satisfactory orders already for prominent
lines, and the market is strong, with occa-
' sional further advances. In knit goods
there is also some improvement, and high-
er prices for yarn, though prices have been
cut in some kinds of hosiery. The effort
to end the Olneyville strike was not
wholly successful, and in a few other wool-
en mills strikes have occurred, but the de-
mand for goods looks better, and a fair
start has been made in reorders for fall
goods.
Iron pushes upward like the great build-
ings into which so much of it goes, and.
the advance in finished products has be-
come general. Of structural steel 12,600
tons Were turned out in May by the Home-
stead works, breaking the record, and
prices rise to 1.3 cents for beams and 1.2
for angles. The eastern bdr association
has raised the price of refined iron to 1.1
cents, and the Amalgamated association
demands of Pittsburg and western mak-
ers a change of Wages with 1.1 cents as
the basis. Coke producers are said to have
substantially agreed upon sales by an
agency and allotment of output and an
advance in price to $1.50 or higher.
In exchanges, the gain over last year is
with 1892—the latest year of full business
after May—is 9.7 per cent. Railroad earn-
ings for May are 7.4 per cent larger than
last year, a better gain than in any pre—
vious month. but the decrease from 1893
is 13.9 per cent, and on substantially the
same roads was 12.6 for April, 12.9 for
March and 15.4 for February, a curiously
uniform decrease.
Failures for the week have been 195 in
the United States, against 216 last year,
and 25 in Canada. against 40 last year.

THE SILVERITES’ PLANS.
They-Will Ha’ve a. National Monetary (zap:-
vention No Matter \Vhat Happens.
SPRINGFIELD, 1115..., June 8.-—-In an inter-
view regarding the future of silver Demo-
crats, Chairman W. H. Hinrichsen of the
state Democratic central committee. says
the silver convention of Wednesday was a
starter for further procedure. He says
work On a national policy commences with
the Democratic party of Illinois backing
free silver.
The national committee Will ,be asked to
call a monetary co'nvention'. If this is re«
fused, the several state committees will be
asked to act With Illinois in holding a na-
tional convention, no matter how few
participate. Delegates will be sent from
each state to the conference, which Will'be
the same as the one held here Wednesday.
“The Democrats of Illinois are not alone
in this matter,” said Mr. Hinrichscn.
“The movement will purifythe party, and
the gold men will be in a hopeless minor-
ity and can only stand aside. Ninety per
cent of the party is for silver.
“The gold wing of the party is ridicu-
lously small. There is not a county in the
state in which they are not outnumbered.
“This movement is dangerous to the
Republican party. Fully 30 per cent of
the Republican party in Illinois are for
free silver.”
INTERNATIONAL ATHLETICS.
Press Comments on the Qgi'ord-Cambridge
Chhllenge to Yale and Harvard.
LONDON, June 8.—-—Great interest is tak-
en here in the prospects of an internation-
al athletic contest between the Universities
of Oxford and Cambridge and teams from
American universities. The first news of
the matter was published here today.
though it had been sent by cable to papers
in the United-States yesterday morning.
The St. James Gazette says: “Itc..will
do good to the universities of both coun-
tries and help to produce a friendlier feel-
ing on both sides Of the Atlantic. ” a
The Pall Mall Gazette, in the course of
a. column editorial on the sdbject. remarks:
"There will be additional interest in the
meeting in view Of the London Athletic
club fixture, and we shall thus have inter-
national contests which should enable the
athletes of both countries to take thorough
stock of each c‘ther’s capacities.” After
alluding to the benefit of such contests,
the paper continues: "Every spectatdr of
the contests between Oxford and Yale
was struck by the manly spirit in which
the Americans bore the barest of bare de-
feats. We are not ashamed to say that this
association Of youth with youth may help
to shape the relationships of the two peo-
ples. ”

OAMros BECOMING ALARMED
He Is Said to Be Eager to Get Away From

- Disaster to Spain Which He
Is Alleged to Foresee.
FERNANDINA, Fla... June 8.—The mas-
ter stroke of the Cuban revolutionary
movement in this country will occur,
within 80 days. The principal leaders of
this party in the United States gathered at
Jacksonville a few days ago, but later
quietly slipped over here, took carriages
and went to Ocean Beach, where they,
stopped at the Strathmore hotel. From
an adjoining room a correspondent over-
heard the Whole Of the delibeirations, Which
began at 8 p. m. and lasted until a late
hour. The six men Who composed this
revolutionary board were Carlos M. Beces-
pedas, Gonzalo do Quesada, Colonel En-
riqueCollazo, Lieutenant Thomas Collazo
and two prominent citizens of Fernan-
dina, who have appeared conspicuously
before the._puhlic on former Occasions in
The
party gathered around a large table on
which were spread numerous charts of
Cuba, the adjacent territory and the Unit-
ed States coastline from ChaTleston to a‘
point far down the peninsulapf Florida.
As appeared from the conversation, most
of the expeditions heretofore had' gone
from Santo Domingo, but the board dc"
cided that the next big effort must be
from the United States coast south of
Charleston, not only because of the neces-
sary character and strength of the expedi-
tion, but because of innumerable bays
sounds and rivers in which a fleet could
with care hide or repela much stronger
force.
A Shrewd Plan.
A fleet of light draft could go unngiccd
through Bahama channels and then at
night make short nuns for the northern
coast ‘of Cuba, where there are many bays
easy of access for an expedition and poorly
guarded.
Such an expedition was recently con-
ducted by the yacht Corona, Which sailed
from Satilla river, Georgia, some weéks ago,
and made a landing in a bay near Giba'ra;
All this was preliminary. Then, came
plans, and so far as completed at that sit-
ting they were as fellows: That whereas
all plans for carrying forward the insur-
rection bad hitherto work’Bd most satisfac-
t0ril5‘t. the eastern half of the island ,had
risen, the western half was ripe for repel.
lion and the Spanish opposition was gTOWa
ing weaker owing to the terrific rpvages of
yellow fever and to disease from bad food
supplied the Spanish army, therefore now
had come the time for a‘ tremendous eflfort
which should carry a great expedition from
the United States to Cuba. ‘
The consulting bpard decided the expe-
dition should be made ready at once; that
it should sail from some point between
Brunswick, Ga. and Mayport, Fla.; that
it should be commanded by COlone'l En-
rique Callazo,'the war scarred veteran of
1868 and 1878,‘and that the fleet should
be guarded by three newly built torpedo
boats of the latest pattern and of great
speed and manned by experienced seamen.
\l’liere the Army W'ill Come From.
Lieutenant Thomas Callazo is to be the
staff officer, and Colonel Callazo’s small
army is to be recruited from the Cubans in
the United States and picked up Ameri-
cans frcm southern states last mentioned.
Men already collected by Henry Brooks, ,
who is to accompany the expedition as a
member of Cdllazo’s staff, are also‘ to be
enrolled. Collazo is to lend the expedl:
tion at some point in the province of Peer;
to Principe, where forces connected by
Gomez and Marti will co-operate. T
expedition is to land in Cuba within 30
days. ,9,
In addition to this plan of Operation,
the followin‘g gene l information wins

province of Pifias del Rio has risen and
thatJIhe insurgents have made more prog—
ress in the present rising of three months.’
duration than was made in seven years
commencing 1868. That it is believed
that within a month the Whole island will
be in arms for the Cuban cause, and that
Captain General Campos, commanding
the Spanish forces, is exerting eyeryr effort
to be recalled to Madrid before the arrival
of the dishster which he believes is sure to
overwhelm Spanish arms in Cuba very
soon. Moreover, that Jose Marti will be
in Florida within the next ten days:

LONDON, June 8.——The Times in an ed- .
itorieil leader upon the subject of the' ex-
tension of the Cuban insurrection and the
reported movements of the American 1111’.-
busterers says that the attitude of the
American government is diplomatically
correct, but that much sympathy with the
Cuban rebels is daily noticeable among
the American people. Probably the reten-
tion of Cuba by Spain is a mere question
of justifiable pride and sentiment. It is a
pity, however, that Spain makes no at-
tempt to harmonize the interests of the
population of Cuba with those of its rulers.
The result is chronic discpntent and ever
recurring TOVOlts. This is the real airpla-
naticn of the fact that the insurgents have
the sympathy and the financial help of the
industrial population at lar’ge on the is-
land. y ..
