TL G. DUN'S WEEKLY REPORT

It is a remarkable feature that the lifting this year begins at the bottom, so to apeak raw materials are raised before there is any larger demand for their finished products, a thing not, often done with success. Hides rose, then leather, and then shoes cotton rose, and afterward some cotton goods, coke was advanced, and afterward Bessemer pig. In all these eases it is reasoned that the larger demand for consumption, though jret wanting, must come when it is seen that prices are going up.

Higher wages for coke workers have been followed by a formal advance of 40 cents in the price of coke, and now Bessemer pig lias risen 35 cents at Pittsburg and 'ii at Philadelphia. So far there is no answering increase in demand or in prices for manufactured products and on the whole the range is jBiightly lower than a week ago, angles and common bars having yielded a little. The general boKef is that dear materials will kindle more buying of produets. it is a si ii sirejigih that an eastern mill iius secured in competition With British makers who had ail a.lvsustage oi'&JrJ in freights, the contract .for 1:^000 t-ous of vails for a California road and other contracts for about the rsuixo quantity have been placed. nv cvj.toii has been hoi.-5.e-d until a rtrwiiger unu'xet lor goods resulted trull aoiuo a iviinces in prices. The oi enemy goods market has been «.eei.aodiy improved, though it does not yvJV ap .e.r .iiac rail mst-riimtion has Cirrespouaih in. rea-ed. Bat stocks of rec-au ,ieiiers are light-, and when they feel that- prices are bound to rise, demand may grow rapidly. in the woi ..en business cancellations in soiuo lines have been startling in magnitude, many mills which supposed tneiX product sold liudnig themselves in #reut need of customers. This seems to t..e mainly in low grade goods, inferior •quality being the common complaint, ifttt delays tnrougli strii-.es also play a

part, while oilers of cheap foreign goods are not to be overlooked. ^uite large orders nave been taken by foreign agents for line worsted and woolens,

iuul all the way from the poorest shoddy ,to the best goods the competition will jftoubtless be sharp for more than one season, iiaies of wool lor the week have been qui to large-, 5,.S2s»,800 pounds jggaiiist 4,u/S,200 last year, partly bejjf icause a quantity held for a loan was W iovced to sale. But sales in four weeks iuive been iy,54(i,2U0 pounds, against 2/,919,000 last Year and 21,1 ay,400 in

Cotton speculation readied a liai with the enormous realizing of List week and sales have been a third smaller with no advxuxce. The season is reaiJy late and -Jivsre arc solid reason: for reducing acreage, factors and traders being able to exert a powerful iin'iucnce il they choose. But the supply of cotton now an sight or in spinners' hands is over 8.*i(Ki,000 bales move than tin: world's requ re:nent for this year, with receipts iur four months yet to come.

Guesses about the condition of wheat Jutve varied widely this week and prices "V "have not varied much, the net advance

Vjieiiig 1 1-4 cents. Atlantic exports, liuur included, have been 1 ,:!•] ,01)1 "bushels against l.-l-lo.Ulo last year, and

The failures this week have been 284 5k the United tttates, against yy'J last year, and 42 in Canada, against 30 last year. But the recent increase indicates jpast rather than recent conditions of jinsoumiinss.

HO.—R. G. Dan's

"weekly review of trade says: Signs of improvement are all the more sutisfactory because neither uceompunicd or apparently produced by a speculative craze. Dealings in stocks, cotton and wheat are .not diverting all the interest and capital from productive industry and legitimate trade, though these products are all a shade stronger. But railroad earnings, bank clearings and industrial indications are more encouraging this week.

Congratulations to Special Agent Griffin and his deputies continue to pour 'p' ixi ou them.

Ice liriuiking Up.

MkikOMINKK, Mich., March 80.—Tlie is blowing a gale from the north«ant and the ice, 20 miles north, is ijajsidiy bimking up. Large cracks ex4esad from the west shore to Death's jBrawr, also between Chambers island

Sturgeon bay. A change of wind "^r&uld soon clear the bay, although the jM ja 13 inches thick.

WITH HAWAII.

Willi-* l'r«fp:irinjf For a Leave of

I Absrtice From Mis I'osf. Washington*, March 30.—There are indications that Mr. Willis, our minister to Hawaii, is preparing to take a leave of absence from his post. One theory is that lie will go to .Japan for a time, and another is that he will return to the United States.

The LirMng Itagtiis at (lit ISottoin, Which Ig Ninclliins I'rices »«ing Up and st Lurgrr Demand Increases,

The state department officials will not say anything about t^ie matter, but cnutent themselves witli pointing to the

fact that the minister lias now been at his post for more than a year and according to the usual practice of the department-, is entitled to a leave of absence if he desires it, and the conditions in the country to which he is accredited admits of his leaving. It would not be surprising, therefore, if the minister was found to be a passenger on the United States steamship Philadelphia when she returns to Mare island, as she must do shortly to be cleaned and docked, if, indeed, he does not turn up before that time. I

During his absence the United States legation at Honolulu will be left- in charge of Mr. Ellis Mills, the secretary of the legation, which will exactly correspond in official status with that of the Hawaiian legation at Washington. In this case the conditions will be precisely parallel to those in Rome and Washington at the time of the Italian trouble four years ago when Baron Fava left Washington for Italy, and United States Minister Porter spent 19 months roaming through Switzerland and other European count)""?, on leave guilder full pay, leaving the legation in Rome in the hands of Charge Wliitehouse, and the Italian legation in Washington in care of the Marquis Rudini.

Milliliter Thurston in Chicago.

Chicago, March 30.—Minister Thurston, formerly minister of the Hawaiian Islands at Washington, arrived in Chicago yesterdaj' afternoon from the east, on his way to Honolulu.

He said that he would leave for San Francisco and would proceed directly to Honolulu, He has no idea, lie said, who will be appointed his successor.

Regarding the reported settlement of the Cliinese-.Tapanese war, Mr. Thurston said that lie had no idea it would have any eiiect whatever on the situation in xLav.ui.

Hegardm.,' his own government and its possible action in view of h.s trouble with the United SUues onici.ais, lie re-fu.-ed to talk. lie was met by Coh'snl General Job of Hawaii, and remained with Mr. Job I during ,'.his br.ef stay lieu*. He sails from San Francisco on April 4.

Washington, March 30.—Although it is said at the White House that the telegram from Governor j,lorrill urging the president to extend protection to United States Consul Waller, a citizen of Kansas, reported to be imprisoned at Madagascar by order of a French court martial, has not yet been received, the president after a consultation with his cabinet has decided to act in the matter and to call for a report of all the circumstances.

If the facts are as originally reported in the cablegram from Mauritius, and on this point United States Consul Campbell, at St. Louis, will be looked to for a report, then it is expected that Mr. Eustis, our ambassador to France, will be instructed to lay the matter before the French foreign cilice and ask for an explanation of the course pursued by the ofiicials in Madagascar.
