0 ■ 111. P. H IT NOW LOOKS AS 111(11 (.11 THE MANITOBA LEGISLATIRE MAY TIRX IT DOWN MELLEN GOT THE BEST OF DEAL It Ik Claimed Tlint the Terms Arc Outrageously High, and Thut the Province Will Be Burdened. After many months of tedious negotia- ; tions there is a possibility that Premier j Roblin's deal with the Northern Pacific I may not be ratified by the legislature, and the whole matter may be dropped. When negotiations had reached a cer tain stage, a caucus of the more promi nent Conservative party members was held, and, it was stated at the time that the whole deal was unanimously ap- | proved. Thereupon the premier closed ' out the arrangement. Now, after the terms of the lease have j been made public, there is a strong sen- ! timent that the railroad has secured by I far the better of the deal. It is claimed ! that the astute president of the Northern ! Pacific is securing for a line that has never paid expenses far more than it cost to build or is worth at the present | time, '■,■'-■ Kx-Mayor Andrews, of Winnipeg, was j the first prominent Conservative to open- | ly condemn the deal, and his action in I addressing an open letter to the pre mier has been followed by a number of the best men in the party. In the meantime Messrs. Mackenzie & Mann, who are large beneficiaries under the existing arrangements, are endeavor ing to propitiate the Manitobans by promises of large car shops, expensive terminals and an immense theater and hotel. This firm will take over the roll ing stock of the Northern Pacific on the Canadian side. Messrs. Mackenzie and Mann were in St. Faul yesterday, in ref erence to this matter, it is believed. Of course the opposition to the deal made by Roblin is encouraged by the C. P. H. This company stands to lose heav ily if the arrangement is carried out, and every spark of discontent is zealously fanned by its representatives, both in Manitoba and in the East. A communication from a number Of wealthy Winnipeggers to Premier Rob lin concludes with the following words: "If the contract is ratified as it is drawn it will, in our opinion, mean di rect taxation of such magnitude that every resident in Manitoba will be most seriously affected, and the value of all land and securities will be depressed and the hope of government ownership df railways be indefinitely postponed." UMFORM RATES FOR TROOPS. General Passenger Agent* Take Step* to Prevent Rate Cutting. The general passenger agents hi the Transcontinental association have taken steps looking to the absolute mainten ance of military rates. Many regiments are expected home from the Philippines within the next few months, and the idea is to prevent a scramble for the trade which will result in the cutting of rales to below a profitable point. This has been the experience in the past and none of the roads has benefited from this source. A pool is being formed between all the roads competing for this trade, and busi ness will be equally divided. Hereafter when the government calls for bids for the transportation of troops the general chairman of the Western Passenger asso ciation will put in the offers of all the companies interested. C. A N.-W. CHANGE. Vice President Milton Sykes Snc- i ceded by E. Ev Osborn. CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—Milton Luther Byk«;. vice president and secretary of the Chicago & North-Western Railway company, has resigned, to take effect June 1, and E. E. Osborn, general at torney for the company, has been select ed for the vacancj . Mr. Sykes has occupied the position for thirty-one years, and durinsTall that time he has practically been in charge of the finances of the- company. His retirement is due to advance in years and a desire to escape active service. E. E. Os born, who will be elected by the board to fill the position, has been general attor ney for the company here in Chicago for the past eight years. Rate to tbe Inauguration. Western railroads have agreed to make a rate of one fare for the round trip from ail points m Western Passenger associa tion territory east of the Missouri river— except from St. Paul and Minneapolis and intermediate points to the Eastern gateways of the territory.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—Bradstreet's of Feb. 23, will say: Trade as a whole has shown expansion this week, despite severe weather tend ing to check trade at some Northern and Western markets, and In the face of very unsatisfactory conditions in the cotton manufacturing trade brought about by dullness in cotton goods at first hands. The position of retailers With large stocks tfas been really im proved by the continued cold weather. Foremost among the lines noting im provement this week is the dry goods trade which is reported active on spring account by jobbers. The boot and shoe industry has like wise continued in a satisfactory shape, and some varieties of leather reflect re cent activity in advances at Eastern markets. Iron and steel in the cruder forms have been very strong at central and Eastern markets and considerable advance's are reported in pig iron and steel billets. Heavy sales are reported from Pittsburg, Birmingham and other markets. Bes semer pig iron at Pittsburg is now sell ing at $14.75, the highest price for months, while a premium of $1.50 a ton if exacted on immediate deliveries of steel billets, although the official Quota tion of $19.75 still maintains. Finished products are reported in good demand. Merchant bars were advanced $2 a ton late last week, and 1.35 cents is now the maximum price of these goods. Structural material is reported- steadily active. In some respects, in fact, the state of this trade as a whole is the strongest since before the collapse last spring. Export trade is slack, for eign iron and steel markets are steadily getting lower and the fear of discrimi nating duties against American iron and steel is evident, although the first mani festation, that in the case of Russia, in volves a very small amount of business. The strength of building materials of all kinds, particularly of white and yel low pine and builders' hardware, has been notable, and from many cities ccrnes the report that a large amount of building will be done the coming spring. Coffee strengthened on better consump tive demand. Tea has met with better sale, as the prospects for any immediate change in the present tariff by con gress becomes less probable. Tin is higher in sympathy with specu lative activity abroad. The cereals show little definite move ment, taking the week as a whole, ex cepting in flour, which Is 10 to 20 cents a barrel higher. Wheat Is practically higher and corn and oats are unchanged, but the corn situation is notable, in view of this being a season of increasing stock. Sap port comes from the active foreign and home demand for this cereal, consump tive requirements for which seem to have definitely overtaken, production. Wheat, including flour, shipments for five days aggregate 3,424,302 bushels, against 4,814,878 last week, 3,600,850 in the corresponding week of 1900, 3,844,359 in itOfl, and y.72t>,469 in 1898. From July Ito date, this season, wheat exports are 123, --214,576 bushels, against 120,517,211 last sea son, and 102,900,289 in 18SS-S9. Corn ex ports for tlie week aggregate 3,267,G6S bushels, against 4,760.422 last week, 2,896, --175 in ihis week a year ago, 2,871,057 in 1899, and 3,«92,799 in 1898. From July 1 to date, this season, corn exports are 127, --871,974 bushels, against 139,033,284 last sea son, and ]07,711,172 in IS9S-9. Business failures in the United States for the week number 219, as against 226 last week, 16S in this week a year ago, 220 in 1599. 183 in IS9S, and 258 in 1897.
