WEEKLY REVIEWS OF TRADE.
Developments Favorable to a Good
Winter Business— Prices Advancing
and Exports Continue Heavy.
NKW YORK, Nov. 25.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s
weekly review of trade will say to-morrow:
Thanksgiving in 1898 means more than for
thirty years. The “harvest home” has never
recognized larger crops on the whole in this
country, the general prosperity is attested
by the largest volume of business ever re
corded, the people’s verdict has given reason
to hope that the soundness of the currency
and the Nation’s honor will not again be in
peril, and a war not matched in history
for swiftness of success with smallness of
Joss has brought the more perfect union
than ever between North and South and
closer bonds than ever with “kin beyond
the sea,” ending with the most important
increase of territory since California was
added to the Union. The year so exceptional
In magnitude and variety of blessings draws
near its end with yet another good gift, a
marked increase of confidence in prospects
for the year which is to close the century.
The industries ure doing remarkably well,
considering hindrance until of late by unsea
sonable weather. With storms and cold
many branches now get larger orders. There
has been more liberal buying of cotton goods
in part because of last week’s reductions in
bleached goods, and the curtailment of pro
duction in print cloths has caused an ad
vance of a sixteenth, while the export de
mand supports heavy brown goods and all
are helped by the feeling that cotton has
probably seen its worst. Yet wide sheetings
are still irregular and some 5 per cent
lower. There is slight improvement in re
orders for men’s spring woolens, though
neither Jobbers nor clothiers have yet been
buying freely. The bulk of the demand is
for medium plain fabrics, especially serges
and clays, but high-grade goods are quiet.
More is doing in dress goods, but not enough
for producers. Sales of wool have been 35,-
975.U00 pounds lor four weeks, Including
about 5,000,000 pounds for export, but mostly
at concessions which have been this week a
little Increased on fine unwashed fleeces.
When the steel rail contract was readv for
final signature withdrawal of one large
company killed It. but a working compact
Is nevertheless said to have been made, ap
parently a sort of “gentlemen's agreement,”
in which more confidence is perhaps ex
pressed than is felt. The market for besse
nier grows stronger at Pittsburg and gray
forge advanced to $9.25; billets at Pitts
burg are in heavy demand at $15.25 and
steel bars at $lO. The Edgar Thomson
works have started on rails with three to
four months orders ahead; Chicago works

statements made by the Iron Age shows that
bids for the 75,000 tons needed in tne Cool

contracts, are hindered only by an ocean
freight syndicate.
Wheat has again advanced a shade,
though for spot only %c during the week,
while Western receipts are heavy, for four
weeks 38,034.291 bushels, against 29,119,104
last year. The Atlantic exports, flour in
cluded, have been 3.957,876 bushels for the
week, against 3,029,446 bushels last year; Pa
cific exports 3,592,297 bushels, against 1,626,959
lasit year, making for three weeks of
November 13.642,066 bushels, against 15.795,309
last year. While Atlantic shipments exceed
last year’s a decrease from the Paeihc af
fects this market but little. Moreover, com
exports continue heavy, in four weeks 10,583,-

demand for nearly five months almost equal
to the unprecedented demand of last year.

United States, against 236 last year and 21 in
Canada, against 25 last year.
HRADSTHEET*S REVIEW.
Many Favorable Features Found In
the Business Situation.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25. Bradstreet’s to
morrow will say: “Winter storms and a
holiday have interfered with wholesale de
mand and distribution, but later clear, cold
weather is a compensating feature, inducing
heavier retail business in seasonable goods.
In general business circles most develop
ments have been favorable, notable among
which might be mentioned general advances
in prices of cereals, provisions, groceries,
cotton, steel and pig iron, the latter chiefly
at Eastern and Southern points; continued
heavy general export trade, a better tone in
the market for hides and leather, more
firmness in cotton goods and active stock
speculation, all of which are reflected In
very heavy bank-clearing totals. Unfavora
ble features are few, prominent among
which is the continued dullness at wholesale
of wool and wooden goods. The situation
as to the country’s export trade is a flatter
ing one. except for the scarcity of freight
tonnage, which is really becoming serious,
tending to check shipments of goods con
tracted for and thus to seriously hamper
the development of American trade abroad.
This is particularly felt in the iron and
steel industry, and considerable pig iron ar
ranged for shipment is being delayed and
may ultimately be thrown back on domestic
markets.
"The movement of wheat and other bread
stuffs continues large, and although some
reaction has followed early strength, the
demand is sufficient apparently to more than
counteract growing increases in supplies.
The agreement as to print-cloth production
and heavy sales of cottons for export have
stiffened values of manufactured goods
somewhat and imparted a more cheerful
tone to this trade and to the raw material
itself. Woolen goods show little effect as
yet of current good retail distribution, but
there is a steadier tone as to the values.
"Important developments are-looked for in
the iron and steel industry, and while the
alleged commission as to steel rail prices
seems to have fallen through, steel billet
values are stronger, and there is talk of a
•gentlemen’s agreement’ as to prices taking
the place of an actual commission. In pig
iron the situation is a waiting one, but
large buyers are manifesting more interest,
and with the strength of the metal mar
kets abroad and the feeling that 1899 will
witness a heavy consumptive demand there
is little tendency to make concessions. In
creased speculative interest in anthracite
coal stocks leads to rumors of important
movements in this branch of tiade.
“Wheat, including flour, shipments for the
week aggregate 5.824,726 bushels, against
5.679,141 bushels last week, 5.465,155 bushels in
the corresponding week of 1897, 3.753,698 bush
els in 1896, 2,400.306 bushels in 1895 and 2,667,-
802 bushels in 1894. Sine* July 1, this year,
the exports of w'heat aggregate 83,714,183

period a year ago.

THE POSTAL SERVICE
REVIEW OF ITS OPERATIONS IN MIL

Postmaster General Smith’s Report on
the Work of the Government’s
Most Popular Department.
♦
SOLDIERS’ AND SAILORS’ MAIL
—— ♦
HANDLED WITH DISPATCH AND AC
CURACY BY TRAINED CLERKS.
Postoffices Established in Cuba, Porto
ltieo and the Philippines— In
crease in Business.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—The most inter
esting review of the postal service for some
years, owing to its operation in military
and naval fields, is tjie report of Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith. Aside from
the discussion of the regular branches of
the department, it tells of the work accom
plished and policies adopted in our terri
torial acquisitions. The postmaster general
says: “The war entailed the necessity of a
military postal service, and prompt measures
were required for handling the mails of an
army of a quarter of a million men. Large
postoftices were suddenly created at the
camps of concentration, the exigencies of
constant changes and movements were met
and the military and naval forces in active
service in the West Indies and Philippines
had prompt and constant postal communica
tion with home. These military postoftices
were clothed with all postal powers. Some
of the larger camps increased the volume of
postal business to that of cities of high rank.
Quick and intelligent management was de
manded and trained clerks detailed from
available points. Railway mail cars were
stationed at convenient points on sidetracks
as postoftices. To provide bonded officials
and postal supplies these offices were con
stituted branches of some city office. At
some camps a temporary rural free delivery
service was operated. A special appropria
tion of $50,000 by Congress for military postal
service was inadequate, and, with our cam
paigns on remote soil, already has been ex
hausted.”
Continuing, the report says: “When our
troops advanced into Cuba the postal service
advanced with them. When Santiago sur
rendered United States Postal Agent Eben
Brewer took possession of the postotfice of
that city, which was made the military post
office, He removed the Spanish director
and ten of its large force of clerks, retain
ing some as interpreters, and gave the office
a far bettor footing with a much smaller
force. Now there are four deliveries in
the business portion of Santiago city, anc
regular mail communication has been es
tablished with Havana and intermediate sea
ports and with Jamaica and other West In
dies islands. Service also has been extended
into Santiago province.
“The postal servico accompanied our arms
and our flag to Porto Rico. From Ponce It
was extended as rapidly as different places
passed into our possession, until now there
are twelve military postal stations there,
having postal connections with many smaller
places. They are under the direction of a
superintendent detailed from the railway
mail service, who acts in conjunction with
the military commander, with a force of six
railway mail clerks, three postal agents and
thirty-two clerks, including four Spanish
translators.
IN THE PHILIPPINES.
“In the Philippines two military postal
stations have been established at Manila and
Cavite, supervised by a veteran division
superintendent detailed from San Francisco,
and conducted by a force of ralway mail and
postoffice clerks and agents, assisted by de
tails from the arir.y of occupation.”
Postmaster General Emory Smith says:
“When Porto Rico and portions of Cuba and
the Philippines passed into the military pos
session of the United States measures for
the continuance or restoration of general
mail facilities seemed to be an essential ele
ment of the beneficent presence of American
authority. By order of the President the
establishment of the postal service followed
the extension of military occupation. In
harmony with the general policy adopted for
the administration of the civil institutions
ir. the regions which thus came under our
control, the local system provisions were re
tained as far as practicable and adapted to
our methods. The general postal service
was associated with the military postal
service and operated by the same machin
ery. No new appointments, save in one or
two instances, were made Trained men
from our home service were detailed as
superintendents and agents and placed in
charge of the larger offices, retaining such
of the old employes as were needed or
could be made available. In the smaller
places the old postmasters are continued or
other local officers are found. There has al -
ready been a great improvement over the
old Spanish service and the work has only
just begun.
“The acquisition of Hawaii has not thus
far been followed by any change in our pos
tal relations with that country. The ab
sorption of its postal system into our own
and the exercise of our control, like the in
corporation of other features of its local
administration, has awaited the report of
the congressional committee and the legis
lation which will follow. There was the
more reason for observing this obligation
as Hawaii already has a good mail service
which is more than self-sustaining.”
AUXILIARY CRUISERS.
Regarding- the effective work of auxiliary
cruisers and merchant marine in the war,
the' postmaster general says: “The great
value of the aid contributed during the war
by steamships employed in our mail service
and converted under the act of March 3,
1891, into auxiliary cruisers, Is universally
recognized. The St. Louis and the St. Paul
and the New York and Paris, the last two
rechristened the Harvard and Yale, added
materially to the naval strength and gave
unequaled special and distinct service. Their
superior speed peculiarly fitted them to act
as scouts, and in actual encounter they
proved their lighting- efficiency. Independ
ent of their value as fast mail steamers,
the part they played in our naval opera
tions vindicated the 'broad policy of the
law under which they floated our flag.
“Our recent experience has illustrated and
emphasized the importance of this resource,
and Fins demonstrated that one of the most
effective and economical bulwarks of naval
power is ihe possession of swift mail steam
ers. capable of immediate conversion into
armed cruisers. In the further development
of our naval force this factor cannot fail
to receive consideration, and it supplements
and. strengthens the reasons for govern
mental action which are found in the wis
dom of promoting the upbuilding of a
merchant marine. The advancement of our
commerce requires that we shall have car
rying facilities. A commercial marine is not
only vital to commercial expansion, but it
provides the best source for the expansion
of the naval force which becomes necessary
in time of war. From every point of view
it is thus a legitimate obieot of govern
mental concern, and the adoption of prac
tical and reasonable measures within our
power for the promotion of this object
seems to be dictated by every consideration
of public interest.
“The act of 1891 invested the postmaster
general with authority to enter into such
contracts for the carrying of mails on
American steamships as. in his judgment,
will best subserve and promote the postal
and commercial interests of the United
States. The first fruits of this act were the
powerful steamers which, converted into
armed cruisers rendered such useful service
in the war wuth Spain. They were employed
in carrying the mails across the Atlantic
and compare favorably with the Atlantic
steamers under any flag But the act
further provided that the mail service on
lines thus created should be equitably dis
tributed among the; Atlantic. Mexican gulf
and Pacific ports. In accordance with this
provision, lines have been established to
porta in the Gulf of Mexico, and steamers
recently launched for this service and Just
now undergoing inspection bv a naval offi
cer, will be available as cruisers should
they be needed in a future emergency. But
no lines have thus far been established
under this act on the Pacific, and the re
quirement of an equitable distribution,
which enjoin* attention in that direction, is
enforced and accentuated by the recent ex
pansion of American interests on that
ocean. Should steps be taken to extend our
flag over American steamships on the Pa
cific. as it has been moderately extended
on the Atlantic, such action will not only
comply with the spirit and purpose of the
existing law. but it will naturally follow
and utilize the opening of American oppor
tunity in that quarter.”
GROWTH OF POSTAL BUSINESS.
Postmaster General Smith calls attention
to the rapid and amazing growth of the
postal business in all its branches. In the
last fiscal year the gross revenue was $89,-
012,618, against $33,315,479 in 1880, and the
gross expenditures, $98,038,523, against $56.-
542.804; the number of postoftices 73.000,
against 43,000. Within this period the popu
lation has increased about 50 per cent.,
while postal business has multiplied nearly
three fold. The general increase of expendi
tures for the past year has been little more
than the preceding one, despite the fact
that nearly a million dollars earned in mail
transportation by tlie> aided Pacific railroad
companies was paid this year directly out
of the department appropriations. There
was an increase in postal receipts of nearly
$6.500,C00 over the aggregate of 1897. which
is cited as a proof that the country is again
prosperous* The estimate of revenues and
expenditures for the fiscal year ending June
30. 1900, follow's: Total estimated revenue,
$100,958,112; estimated expenditures, $105,224.-
000; deficiency for 1900. estimated, $4,265,888.
But for the gross abuse of second-class
matter privileges the deficit would have
disappeared long ago and its present and
promised decrease is in the face of this
abuse.
The postmaster general says the proposal
of ocean penny postage recently renewed in
interest in connection with the adoption ot
this rate between England and her colonies
is attractive and much could be said for it,
but the conditions under which this country
approaches its treatment differ in other na
tions. Other countries have short land tran
sit, while ours is often greater than the
ocean distance. Considering the area cov
ered. our rate is lower than other nations.
The immediate contemplation, he says, of so
marked a change, however desirable in
itself, will be premature. Discussing rural
free delivery the postmaster general says
replies to circulars sent out suggest some
assurance of the permanence of the serv
ice. A revision and rearrangement of the
service established prior to 1897 is contem
plated.
The most marked advance in volume of
money order business in the history of the
system was this past year, the increase be
ing 17,000,000 In number and $16,000,000 in
money carried. There were 28.753,412 money
orders issued: face value. $204,59.>,891. Legis
lation is asked for at the next session of
Congress to correct the evils growing out
of the existing system of speculative bid
ding for star-route service.
There were 15,600,220 pieces of mail matter
registered at the postoffices during the year,
and the aggregate of $998,199 in fee s collected
was an increase of over 7 per cent, over the
previous year’s business.
Among recommendations for legislation
are those to make depredations of railway
postal clerks a continuous offense; to pro
vide a severe penalty for employes em
bezzling or destroying newspaper mail:
severer statutes covering green goods and
obscene matter; the issue of a special
stamped envelope of a superior paper qual
ity for 10 cents for greater security and
safety; for at least curtailing the use of
postage stamps as a medium of exchange,
and for allowing postmasters of the first
and second classes to pay for the special
delivery of letters by salaried postal offi
cials and to allow car fare to special deliv
ery messengers in the great cities.
POLITICIANS CRITICISED.
Cardinal Gibbons on the Recent Race
Troubles in the South.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 25.—Cardinal Gibbons,
in discussing the recent race troubles in the
South, said to a representative of the Balti
more Sun to-day: “In the history of man
kind it has been observed that when two
distinct races co-existed in the same terri
tory one race has always exercised a cer
tain supremacy over the other. While this
principle is admitted it is the manifest duty
of every patriotic statesman and Christian
to sec that the relations between the races
should be friendly, harmonious and mutual
ly beneficial. The race conflicts, antagon
isms and bloodshed which have recently oc
curred in several States of the Union can
be largely traced to two great causes—the
one-sided and ill-directed system of negro
education and the/ indiscriminate exercise
and consequent abuse of the ballot box.
“The colored race.” continued the cardinal,
“are naturally kind and gentle, affectionate
and grateful, with religious emotions easily
aroused. But the education they are gen
erally receiving is calculated to sharpen
their mental faculties at the expense of
their religious and moral sense. It fosters
ambition without supplying the means of
gratifying it. It feeds the head, while the
heart is starved. No education is complete
that does not teach the science of self
restraint. and this is found only in the
decalogue and in the gospels. But it is
hard to get a hearing on the subject of
popular education. We must appeal from
Peter drunk to Peter sober.
"The abuse of the ballot box is charge
able more to white demagogues than to the
blacks themselves. The ppliticians use the
negro vote for their own selfish purposes.
I am persuaded that a restriction of suf
frage by property qualifications would be a
wise measure It w r ould be an incentive to
industry and as men are instinctively dis
posed to protect their own property they
will naturally vote for those rulers and
public officers who, in their judgment, are
more qualified to protect their property from
unjust and exorbitant taxation and to pro
mote the material prosjierity of the com
monwealth.”
Attempt to Loot a Treasury.
MILLBRSBURG, 0., Nov. 25.—County
Treasurer F. F. Smith, on reaching his of
fice early to-day, discovered that both outer
doors of the vault in his office had been
blown off by cracksmen some time during
last night. The inner vault was not mo
lested, but S2OO was stolen, including S6O in
pennies and $75 in lodge money. This was
in the outer vault. The robbers gained ac
cess to the office by breaking in a door.
Bloodhounds have been sent for to trace the
robbers.
