Wall-street speculation do -s not yet discount any approaching reaction in com-tiu-rcial line, an; the money market ems to have turned th corner, at least for the present. Cotton ami woolen goods retain th-ir pain of last week, though partly on it.rount of i.:ienv--sü of many mills. The wool market is steady, notwithstanding the fcLsenee of demand from large producers of c ods. Asid from the uneasiness caused by Iahor controversies, no s-thack hris ap.ared !n the leading Industry. In ail branches of Iron and steel manulacture requirements are much in excess of available ptoeks. Ueeent evidence of 1 irge jjraln crops has brought agricultural implement makers Into the market for rars and many have contracted for their entire year's supply. Another feature was the greater uctivlty In structural material, for bridges and buildings, while the larne tonnage of eteel rails already placed did not prevent further orders. The recent advance In f dates failed to diminish business. Faith n the future is evidenced by more plans iur the erectk'd of new mills with enormous capacity. Shipments of hoots and shoes from the Kat declined to m;.G17 cases, against 31,153 two weeks ago. but there still appears a I Rood marRin aoove tn movement a, year aso. Local rn inufacturers are receiving better orders and some Mb- shops have resumed. City jobbers complain of the backward season. The leather market has met with further reverses and especially in the light-weight division. A better quality of hides is offered at Chicago and quotations tend upward, although tanners artMot buying freely. Th- outlook for this year's crop of cotton has been ascertained by a careful canvass of the Southern States. Correspondents of II. G. Dun & Co. report that planting averages about two weeks later than t;sual. owing to heavy rains. While thT is r-ason to anticipate a large acreage, cancellation of many ordeis for fertilizers how that the sharp decline in cotton prices had the benefici al result of restricting operations to some extent. Hradstreet, commenting on the general situation, notes that cold, rainy weather, with its concomitant of bad roads, has been unfavorable to distributive trade this week, tpeclal complaint coming from the central "West and parts of the Northwest. A similarly retarding effect on crop planting is rioted at the South, where cotton and corn cultivation and germination are reported from one to two weeks late. With these exception, however, trade developments of the week have been. In the main, favorable. The feature In the Iron trade, asldo from the continued activity and aggressive trength. of prices, has been the apparent breaking away of the strike clouds which have menaced that industry. Present adVices are that whatever dllTlculties have arisen between the men and th companies will not be fought out now. Wire roils aro ?. to $5 rer ton higher at Pittsburg, th latter price being for prompt delivery. I'drmlr.gham reports pig Iron less active, though firmer. The other metals show little change on the week, although tin is fractionally higher. Wheat shipments.

WASHINGTON, April W.-The fiscal year seems likely to exceed any preceding ear in Its record of exports from the United States.

The March import and export figures. Just completed by the treasury Uureau of Statistics, show a total exportation from the United States in the nine months ending w ith March, lpoi, of fl.lW.lT0.72S. or $.SG.54) . t!2 In excess of last year, which held tho Mühest record In the history of our export trade. Inrrenup in WaRf. PARSONS, Kan., April 10. The officials of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad held a meeting to-day.

acres adjoining l'.erlin. The territory was sold to the . K. Mvcr Company, oi .sew York, which operates mines near Klk lack. S"mrs t county. ieve!opments of the nw territory are to beiin immediately, reaulrins an expenditure of JI.Mj-. The tub mill miners in the Meyersdule. I'a.. region at Klk Lick have returned to work after nine weeks idleness. They struck ixcaus'p of alles d i!l5crimlnation against union men, but as all but two of the dozen discharged men have been reinstated they consIdtT they have won a victory. The men at the mines of th? Smokeless Coal Company, at Herlin, Fa.. are still out. It was announced at St. Louis yesterday that a syndicite of New York and St. Louis capitalists, with a capital stock of $:vj). will at one" bepin the erection of a plant to smelt lead ore from Joplln and Webb City, Mo., and Arkansas minir.K districts. The projectors claim that they can ship the ore to Uast St. Louis cheaper than they can buy or transport fuel to their present plant. It is understood at New York that an International bank, with a capital of not P ss than $l,U,f.o, ami perhaps as much as JJ.fio-VniO, is to be established in Havana by interests prominently identified with the Morton Trust Company and the Cuba Company. Amontr the larpe stockholders of the latter corporation, of which Sir William C. Van Home Is president, are several wellknown Montreal financiers. Six hundred mine employes struck yesterday at the Haven Hun. I'a., colliery ot the I'hlladelphla & Reading Coal and Iron Company, on account of the discharge of two loader bosses, who were dismissed, it is charged, because they are members of the Fnited Mine Workers of America. The company, some time ao. issued an order forbidding this class of employes from being members of the union. A dispatch to the Cleveland IMain Dealer, from Marietta. O., says: "A wcll-authcntl-cated report says that the IVnnsylvania liallroad Company has bought of the Ohio Hridffe and Ferry Company Its franchise for a bridge across the Ohio river here, and that it will build a bridge and let its line into the West Virginia coal hM. thus giving a direct shipping route to Cleveland and lake trade." - The Chicago Circat Western Railroad has conceded all the demands made by the International Machinists' Association, thus ending any possibility of a strike. The demands included a nine-hour work day, a minimum wage scale of 2 cents an hour and several concessions in connection with apprentice regulations. Fnder the old system the minimum varied from Itt to -7 cents. Consul Norton, at Harpoot, In a communication to the State Department, says the establishment of a new silk factory at Mezreh is in contemplation, and tha; the persons Interested desire to secure the necessary equipment from the United States. The consul says that the silk worm Is largely cultivated In that section of Turkey, and that there are two silk factories in operation one at Mezreh and the other at Harpoot. The strike of the employes of the McKeesport (Ha.) Connecting Railroad, inaugurated Thursday night, has in no way interfered with the operation of the National Tube Company's plant. The line 1 owned by the National Tube Company, and f'onnects the tube plant. National rolling nill and Monongahela furnaces with the Haltlmore & Ohio and the Lake Krle roads. No serious trouble Is apprehended, and an early settlement is expected. The third conference of the miners and operators of the southern district of subdistrict No. 5 relative to the scale for the present year adjourned at Wheeling, W. Va.. last nleht without reaching an agreement. As a result l.ryu) miners In Helmont and Jefferson counties, Ohio, and a portion of HarrIon county. West Virginia, will strike on Monday. The motion to adjourn vas made by the operators. No provision was made for future meetings. The deal by which the Empire Coal Mining Company comes into possession of 30,acres of coal land in Helmont eounty, Ohio, was consummated yesterday. Tlu aggregate sum paid is given by Ihuncial promoter J. K. Newman as J1.2j0.0in). The property embraces the mines of Rose Ac Morgan, the Pittsburg and Ohio Coal Company, and the Neff mines. The annual iutput of the territory is t be increased live times and more than l.WO men are to bo employed. A strike by the coal miners of France, planned to be general, and to include all the miners In the country. Is scheduled to take place about the end of the coming June, unless terms are agreed upon before that date. This latter eventuality is not expected, according to United States Consul Urunot, at St. Etienne, in a report to the Htate Department. There Is likelihood, too, that other trades will join the strike, says Consul Hrunot, for Iron workers, furnace men an 1 machinists realize that the scarcity of fuel caused by a strike of the miners would also throw them out of employment. The silk and velvet ribbon weavers are discussing the propriety ot striking at the same time. The Utah Coal and Coke Company, a New Jersey corporation, has filed its articles at Salt Lake with an amendment increasing its capital stock from $10,000 to JlO.ooo.ooO, and changing Its name to the Utah Fuel Company. This is said to be a reorganization of all coal companies owned by the same Interests along the Rio Grande Western Railroad. The coal property is Included In the sale to the Denver & Rio Grande and George Gould Interests. The Fulton mills of the American Woolen Company at Oswego have been closed on telegraphic instructions from headquarters at Andover, Mass. Between 1.300 and 1,50 men and women lost employment and business of the village of Fulton and Oswego Falls will be greatly affected. The company gave as a reason for its action that there is trouble with the employes which interferes with the business. This was vigorously denied by the workmen, who claim the only tllflJculty is that the weavers object to Instructing apprentices without being paid for it. The coal trade of Sydney, N. S. W., is demoralized by a disagreement between the cojliery owners and the Coal Lumpers' Union, by whom the work is carried out at the collieries, resulting in a strike and a lockout. Six coal mines are idle, and it Is feared that other mines will close down. Ships are unable to coal at Sydney and have been obliged to go to Brisbane for fuel. The difficulty arose out of the demand of the mine owners that the union be responsible for a sufficient supply of labor, the charge being made that the union places a practical limit to its .membership. The New York Journal and Advertiser says: "The Standard Oil Company will declare a dividend about May 1 of 20 per cent, on Its capital of $ln.M).ieO. At the same time the plan will probably be adopted of increasing the capital stock of the company from 51(0.ti!4,()0i) to JiOO.e-f ,(). The increase of the capital stock will be. in reality, an adjustment. Four shares of the new stock will be given in exchange for one of the old. The stock is quoted at present at its top figure. S. so that a share of the new stock will be worth in the market approximately JiVO." United States Minister Hart, at F.ogota, has transmitted to the State Department a translation of a decree of the Colombian executive, exempting from Import duties a number of food products. The decree states: The following articles are declared exempt from import duties In the custom houses of the republic during the continuance of the present disturbed condition of the public order and during sixty days more: Sweet potatoes, potatoes, onions, garlic, rice, corn. peas, lentl's, beans, sugar, wheat, liour, lard, butter and all kinds of vegetables, grains and garden stuffs, imported in their natural state and without any preparation whatever. The decree took effect March 5. The New York World says: "That the United States Steel Corporation is about to enter the foreign field with all possible dispatch Is shown by a contract just mad?. The Carnegie Steel Company has been awarded a contract for L.m tons of steel plates by the Harland Ä: Wolff Shipbuilding Company, of Belfast, Ireland. This is the largest contract ever placed In this countryfor steel plates. It is worth JTNO.OoO. A majority of the Clyde shipbuilding concerns have recently made contracts with American mills for their steel plate requirements for many months ahead. The contracts are being placed now for fear that the United States Steel Corporation will shortly advance prices." "Russia in recent years his been creating a large export trade in butter," reports Consul Mahln. at Reichenberg, to the State Department. The export in lv.iT amounted to 13MA7) pounds, and for the first ten months in I' the exports doubled tha: i mount, being 3T.7J.2-0 pounds. The principal increase of export is in the butter product of Siberli. To facilitate the trade butter trains t-quipned with refrigerating apparatus have been employed to transport the goods to the ports for shipment. During the season at l'"") two special trains ot twenty-iive cars each were dispatched weekly, loaded with butter for the H title ports, where, in four months, ll.ilS.O' pounds were delivered. to nisvKXT im:lmoma and grip Laxative Bromo-Qulnlne removes the causa
