tomorrow for consideration, but as the
senate decided later to adjourn until
Monday the debate upon the resolutions
will not begin until that time.
The bill to incorporate the Interna
tional American bank, in accordance
with the recommendation of the pan-
American congress, which has occupied
a greater part of the senate's time this
week, was passed this afternoon b> a
vote of 26 to 23.
The design of the measure is to fur-

Worry Is suicide by slow stages. If the
liver, stomach and bowels are in good condi
tion, you can laugh your troubles away.

organ, but they do put the liver, stomach and
bowels in perfect ord"er. Don't worry; take

ties as will promote trade between the
L'nited States and the countries of Cen
tral and South America.
The bill provides that the bank shall
have a capital stock of $5,000,000 and
that the capital stock may be increased
to $25,000,000. The institution, in ac
cordance with the terms of the bill,
shall lie under the supervision of the
comptroller of the currency, and in the
charter of the corporation, which the

Southern countries.
PENSION RULES.
Mr. Gallinger (N. H.), chairman of
the pensions committee, in connection
with adverse reports on certain bills,
announced that the committee had
adopted certain rules which would ex
clude many bills. He called attention
to one case where an application was
rejected by the pension bureau, but by
special act a pension had been allowed
and had been increased three times.
The pensioner was an employe of the
government at a salary of $60 a month.
Mr. Gallinger said the rules of the com
mittee covered the ease, and added that
the rules would be observed In every
case.
A bill providing for the erection of a
government building in Seattle, Wash.,
at a cost not exceeding $500,000, was
passed.

Mr. Morgon (Ala.) offered a" resolution
which was referred to the naval affairs
committee, extending the thanks of
congress to Naval Constructor Hobson

tion corps, to the line.
The conference report on the bank-
ruptey bill was presented and read, but

Tax Bill, Bond Offer and Letter's
Collap»e Excite the Markets—
Large Increase of Gold Imports
and Grain Exports Better De
mand for Cotton Manufactures—
'Wool Required for Army Supplies
NEW YORK, June 17.— Dun & Co.'s
review of trade will say:
The passing of tine war tax bill, the
offering of bonds and the collapse of
Letter and cash wheat have made thfi
week somewhat exciting. In spite of
some fealtures which cannot be justi-
fied, the tax bill was approved as prob
albly the best that could be obtained
from congress this year, and gave as
surance of needed revenue for the
emergency.
Its bond provision has already called
out offers for more than three times
the amount desired, and it probab'.y
will prove the mosst successful loan ever
invited by the United States. A great
victory in the field could hardly be
more important, especially in its in
fluence on foreign opinion. Not less si£
nifioanlt was the excess of exports over
imports In May by $56,980,359, making
the merchandise balance in favor of
the United States $571,859,037 in eleven
months of the fiscal year, While net im
' ports of gvld were $102.026,959, thoiißh !n
| no previous fiscal year have the net lm>
J ports of &old exceeded $97,466,127 in
1 1S82.
Ndt less Important is the official
showing that this nation has supplied
to others 10.058.208 bushels of whoit
and 204,000.000 bushels of corn in eleven
and a half months without checking
receipts from farms, and sees wheat
fall 20 cents in a week because a crop
is promised greater than the la?t by
100,000,000 buphels. This decline would
have come sooner had not Mr. Letter
looked for larger gains, but the benefit
to this country by the average advance
of nearly 25 cents f ; r the crop year an
wheat expoited has been abo.i>t $48,000,
--000, and to pmducers much greater. Tn
corn, on the other hand, the cash price
has declined only one cent and the de
mand continues extraordinary. West
ern receipts, amounting to 4.881.242
bushels, against 3,813,194 last year, and
exports, amounting to 8,662,600 bushels,
against 1,321,448 last year.
The cotton movement continues large
for the season, although the price has
Rdvanced a sixteenth, in spite of fa
vorable crop prospects. The manu
facturing demand abroad is good and
controls Liverpool, and at this late
season America lets Liverpool make
prices. Here the manufacturing de
mand Is a little better, though with
decline of prices of bleached shirtings,
but the mills have large stocks of ma
terials. There is also a stronger mar
ket for wool abiaad, which, with
Western excitement, makes quotations
of 100 qualities by Coates Bros, of 1
cent higher than June 1, but there is
scarcely any buying by manufactur
ers, who are in doubt about the com-
Ir-er season, and have few new orders
except in army lines. The break in
the price of sixteen-ounce clay worsted
to $1.20 has somewhat discouraged
what promised to be a healthy market.
Sales of wool were made extremely
narrow by the wide difference between
excited Western holders and manu
facturers, who have an uncertain com
ing- season to face.
Pig iron is extremely dull, though
Bessemer holds last week's advance
and other grades are not quotably
lower. No decline in consumption ap
pears, and, while bars are weak with
short time, the rule in Eastern mills,
they advanced 2 1/ 2 cents at Pitt«burg,
while Chicago reports heavy season
contracts still coming from wagon,
car and other manufacturers. Heavy
sheets are better at the East, but thin
are not better anywhere. Structural
works care full for the summer and
have had two remarkably good weeks
at Chicago with building and bridge
orders. Plate mills are well employed,
and at Chicago the demand for pipe
is better, especially from the Pacific
coast. Shipments from there of rails
in May included some to Sweden, Bel
gium, South Africa, Siberia and three
other countries, while orders from Cal
cutta have just been taken. The an
thracite coal output in May exceeded
the allotment by 19.9 per cent.
Failures for the week have been 233
in the United States, against 234 last
year, and 20 in Canada, against 36
List year.
FINANCIAL, CONDITIONS.
Lest* Favorable for the "Week, Ow
ing Principally to the Letter
Failure.
NEW YORK, June 17.— Bradstreet's Finan
cial Review tomorrow will say:
"A reaction In values occurred early in the
week, resulting in more or less liquidation
and bear selling, and a soiric'what lower price
throughout the share list. The declines, ex
cept in a few instances, were not severe, con
sidering the extent of the previous 'bull move
ment, ajid the market soon became steady
and later in the week gave symptoms of re
newed advance. This was, however, mainly
on short covering, and one of the effects of
the check to the market's rising fnriencv
was the decrease of public participation, pro
fessional manipulation being on.cc more very
apparent. London was a purchaser of stocks
to a limited extent on the decline, but the
active interest in Americans there is small
and the London market is generally sluggish
and narrow. At the cl»=« of the wejk industri
als and specialties were the principal objects '
of the tracing.
The bond issue and the war nrws have, of
course, been factors; but the principal influ
ence in the market this week was the col
lapse of Letter's grain operations at Chi-
C?.£o.
It is now recognized that this was hanKinß
over the market for some litt'.e time, and was
the probable cause for the change of lead
ing operations from the 'bull side of stocks
The actual news of the developments at Chi
cago last Tuesday was, however, a surprise
and a disagreeable one to the street at large.
The Western contingent was Heavy sellers of
stocks, and there was a general fear that
banks or other large interests might be in
volved, which was promptly reflected In the
course of prices for railroad securities. In
deed the feeling of apprehension on ■thl-s score
was not thoroughly relieved until the close
of the week, when it was apparently estab
lished the losses would fall mainly, if not en
tirely on the chief actor In the episode, end
his immediate backer. In this connection it
may also be noted that the reports of the
continued rain at the West and damage to
crops havo been used to some extent by the
bears, while the continuance of rate-cutting,
both West and East, have been held up as an
unfavorable element in the situation."
OUTLOOK IS ENCOURAGING.

Northwest comparing favorably with records
of previous years, and a low rate of business
mortality, are all features of the general
business situation at the present time.
The collapse of Letter and his deal In
wheat, with the demoralization In pricos
which was concomitant, has been followed by
a quieter feeling In cereal markets, but ex
port demand, partly on early placed orders,
has improved and more is doing by flour m:ll
ers. It is true that the continued wet weath
er in sections west of the Mississippi is
affecting wheat harvesting, but trade opera
tions l«an to a crop, of 7i-0.0C0.C00 bu of
wheat and large yields or most other cereals, I
with corn promising least favorably.
Cotton acreage and condition alike fore
shadow a yield which may bp slightly smaller
than last year, but this might easily be com
pensated for by an advance in values which
are higher on the week. A rather quiet tone
is shown In the iron situation this week, rel
atively most activity being exhibited at the
West. New buying is restricted, but mills
and furnaces are turning out a heavy output
and the bankinf of furnaces is looked for to
give tone to quotations* of .the raw product.
Cotton goods, if anything, are slightly im
proved, but raw wool is still under restricted
demand, because manufacturers find new
business slow.
The price situation for the week reflects
steadiness, the only important decreases
being in Southern pig Iron,' wb?at and fl.>ur,
wiiile hides are higher 1 at the West, a number
of metals have been advanced, and oa.s,
corn, lard and cotton get fractional advances.
The West and Northwest continue the scene
of relatively most activity, alike in demand
and number of advances. The excellent croT
prospects In the Northwest are reflected in
satisfactory trade In seasonable goods, and
relatively larger orders of goods' for fall
trade, while the regular orders at mast cities
are heavily in excess of corresponding
years.
Wheat exports for the week aggregate 4,
--078.370 bu against 4,730,982 bu last week, 2,
--477.079 bu in this week a year ago, 3 020,317
bu in 1596. 2,807,387 bu in 1895 and 1,927,000
bu in 1894.
Corn exports are also slightly smaller than
last week, amounting to 4.106,000 bu. as com
pared with 4,774,303 in the preceding year.
1,150,000 bu In 189G and 558.000 bu in W5.
Business mortality is at a low point, the
failures for the week numbering only 207,
fourteen smaller than a week ago; nineteen
fewer than in the corresponding week of 1597;
fifty-eight smaller than in this wepk in 1S98;
*vrenty-four smaller than in 1895 and only
twelve larger than fn this week of 1894, when
restriction of credits and dull business wa3
most marked.
Failures In the Dominion of Canada num
ber nineteen, a decrease of seven from last
week, fifteen from the total in this we?k a
year ago, of sixteen from 1896 and of eleven
from 1895.

shows that grain crops have done well,
although hay has suffered in Manitoba.
A summary by divisions follows:
Minnesota Division — The weather during the
past week hag been for the most part cool.

sufficient moisture for two or three weekß.
The heavy rains of last week did not do as
