IN GENERAL,

A Germantown physician has made the discovery tby accident that the socalled Einson or violet rays have valuable anesthetic properties. Dun & Co.’s Trade Review says there is much activity in manufacturing, with the exception of some textile mills. Sales are reported good and collections prompt. Heavy electrical storms have been noticed recently in the direction of the Santa Maria volcano, Guatemala City. It is believed the volcano is again in violent eruption. The recent cold- wave is said to have caused damage figured in the millions to farmers, fruit men and truck growers. In southern districts cotton and Corn will have to be replanted. A tract of 83,000 acres of ranch land near Santa Rosalia, Chihuahua, Mexico, is now open to settlement by the Boer colony. Gen. JV. B. Snyraan left immediately for New York, where he will meet Gen.

COMMERCIAL AN FINANCIAL

Tj ~ j~l At the leading cities high N6W I Ola. temperature has stimulated ——*—the distribution of seasonable merchandise at retail, but dry goods jobbers and commission houses report only a fair trade. manufacturing lines are active, except for some hesitancy at textile mills. In iron and steel, footwear, furniture, harness and clothing there is little idle machinery. Structural work is vigorously prosecuted aud supplies of building material are not aljowed to accumulate. A special canvass of the white pine situation by correspondents of this paper shows low stocks and high prices, although the season’s cut was large, according to R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade. Continuing, the report soya: Mercantile payments are fairly prompt, yet there is less disposition to 'anticipate payments for a cash discount, aa frequently occurred last year. Railway earnings for April were 13.2 per cent larger than last year and 27.0 per cent in exebss of -1001. Deliveries of coko on old contracts are now so large that reselling frequently occurs, and iu so far as the fuel question is. concerned there appears no prospect of interruption, while it is difficult to maintain quotations of Connellsville coke. An unusually heavy ore tonnage has been arranged to lower lake ports, preparations indicating that no diminution in iron and steel activity is anticipated. Disparity continues between current prices and quotations on deliveries during the dosing months of the year, sales of bessemer pig iron for late shipment being recorded at sl9, valley furnace. Billets remain the prominent feature, domestic stocks failing to meet demands, and efforts to secure imports have met with success, German sellers accepting large contracts. In addition to urgent railway demands for heavy steel, there is a steady inquiry for structural shapes to be used in erection of new buildings, while pipe mills report much new bu. iness, and iu agricultural implements there is no lack of orders.

“ May 1 is rast without CnXaQO. ,ul >' strikes or new labor * * troubles of importance. This augurs well fer a rummer of unbroken activity. Except where temporary conditions have interfered, the leading industries are active. Navigation is now in full swing on the great lakes and the movement of merchandise is very heavy, lumber leading all other lines in the relative increase. A wave of cold, unseasonable weather has swept the entire western country, retarding trade, delaying farm work aud to a considerable extent interfering with building operations. In the east favorable weather has continued and while the country trade from Chicago west has been light this week, country orders In the east were above the average. Aside from this unfavorable feature of bad weather, conditions in the west are far vorable aud very promising. Westyrn railways are making good showings in reports of earnings, notwithstanding some minor factors of an unfavorable nature. The wheat market has felt the stimulus of less favorable reports from the southwest as to the winter wheat. The cold wave that swept the southwest has undoubtedly done damage. How seriously and how extensive this damage may not be definitely determined for a time. Meanwhile the market has been strengthened by the reports that have come. As everyone knows there is very little wheat in our country. Stocks in the northwest are extremely light. If the actual wheat available for use and the prospective requirements for the next three months were the factors of main influence prices would rule very much higher. But this shortage in the available stocks has been offset as a speculative factor by the fact that we have had the promise of the greatest winter wheat crop ever known.
