Perhniill* most notable feature of the
, ( „ jMI ji,. n ~t present is the strength
0 . liri „ . of nearly all staples, particular
ly of I'ere.il* cotton. Iron and steel, which
have apran ally gained further ground
since che tirst of the year.
Explanation of the strength of wheat Is.
of course, found In the good cash demand
which seems to meet any slight reaction
lr," values, and which has placed the price
at a point as high as at any previous time
(or ihrte months past.. This cereal and
corn ore both in exceptionally good de
mand abroad, judging from the large ex
ports reported, and good foreign demand
If acknowledged the secret of strength in
cotton. Shipments of which continue
heavy. A feature of the dealings in this
f , ap le is the ready demand for good grades
tnd the indifference manifested toward
low grades, which, owing to the bad
weather at the South, are In larger than
usual supply. Colton manufacturers. In
deed, have been complaining for some time
of the low spinning quality and waste of
the present crop.
While large sales of iron and steel are
not so numerous as in recent weeks,
further advances In prices, notably of pig
iron, steel billets, plates and rods, bear
( -:imony lo the eagerness of buyers to
6*. ire supplies, and the utmost • corre
ct-,i in? ndlfTerence of the trade toward
nuv business, the order books of most of
the mills being reported well filled. Pig
iron pro tnotion is the heaviest ever known,
s'-.d nut stocks show further depletion. The
sue,, -sfui Heating of a number of large
consolidations in this industry of late, has
naturally stimulated Interest and discus
t.on in further consolidations.
Forming Xeit Syndicates.
The formation of syndicates, however, is
r. : con; i• <1 to iron and steel, because
within the week there are reports of a
projected ureat tobacco syndicate, having
for its u,i the securing of control of
the ,ittir. Cuban supply this year.

is the > ory from the Pacific coast of a
i r l consolidation of salmon canners.
Tin plan s show the effect of the consol
i . in this line In an advance from the
lc.v figure reached some months ago.
The strength of cotton goods is still a
f mure of the dry goods market, but the
L-jped-for advance in raw wool has not yet
i erialized, and the trade in manufac
tured woolens is still slow.
The ft ;.n s 0 f confidence in the lumber

The Regnlitm Defended.
Camp Onward, Jan. 12, 1899.—Editor
Morning News; Having seen the article
in your paper relative to the disorderly
conduct of which the regular soldiers of
the 'Second Heavy United States Artillery
are adjudged guilty, I take the liberty to
speak in their defense. You quote
a vojunteer officer as stating that
the music hall it> the lower part of the
city, termed the “Red Light” saloon, is
frequented entirely, or almost so, by men
of the Second, and that their conduct in
thR vicinity is altogether unbecoming a
soldier.
I beg to differ with the officer on that sub
ject. for having had occasion to visit that
section of the city, I saw some deeds per
petrated by some of the members of the
volunteer forces recently cttcampede here
about that would bring a blush of shame
to any true regular. I do not think you
can cite an instance where a regular sol
dier has deliberately shoi|a defenseless
ipan in the hack, killing him in his tracks.
I hope you will not judge me as lieing
prejudiced in the regular soldiers' behalf.
Private Edward P. Leeds,
Battery G, Second U. S. Heavy Artil.ery.
—Some of the American soldiers at Hon
olulu are investing their earnings in orien
tal art objects to send home. There are
robes of delicate texture, slippers of cu
rious construction made of wickerwork
and odd-looking pipes in large variety. The
specimens of wood-carving could hardly
be surpassed for minute finish. Even the
packages in which they come have a
quaini touch of Eastern art ideas.
—Mrs. Cobwigger—What kind of a stock
ing would you like to have to hang up for
Chr simns?
Freddie—Well, ma, I'm not particular
about its being all wool, but I would like
to have it a yard wide.—Judge.
