Washington. Feb. 15.—The last steps
were taken in the Senate today in tile

SENATOR RANSOM.
He Will Probnbly Be Appointed
Minister to Mexico.
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, D. C. Feb. 13.—It was ru
mored about the Capitol this afternoon
that the President will be urged to ap
point Senator Ransom to be Minister to
Mexico to succeed the late Minister Gray,
of Indiana, whose death was announced
this morning. Mr. Ransom’s term of of
fice as a sena.tor expires with this ses
sion and It is thought the President will
be very glad to tender him this appoint
ment.
There will be no further financial legis
lation attempted by the House at this ses
sion. The defeat of the two banking bills
and one bond bill In quick succession
satisfies the House that a majority of the
House cannot be brought to the support
of any measure. There was some talk
In the House today that some measure of
financial relief might be engrafted upon
the General Deficiency Appropriation bill
when It Is taken up by the Senate, but
it Is not definitely known if this attempt
will be seriously made.
The members of the House are now look
ing forward with Impatience to adjourn
ment and the Committee on Rules is con
stantly importuned for special orders for
certain Important bills that have not yet
received consideration by the House, but
which it is believed, can be rushed
through the Senate If they can reach
that body during the last week of the ses
sion. One of these Is the Naval Re-cr
ganization and another Is the Nicaragua
Canal bill. All talk of an extra session
has ended and It Is believed that when
Congress adjourns on the 4th of March
next, it will not be asked to convene
again until the regular meeting day in
December.

REVIEW OF
THE TRADE ■
MESSRS. DIN ANIJ BRADSTHliErs
REPOKTS FOR THE WEEK.
OUST RUCTIONS ARE CHEAP FARM
PRODUCTS AND OPERATIONS.
As a Consequence ol tlie Severe
Weather Trade Hu* Fallen Off.
By Southern- 1 Associated Press.
New York, Feb. 15.—B. G. Dim &
Co.’s weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say: Another week; exports of gold
and xvithdravVils from the treasury have
been almost entirely stopped by the con
tract for purchases of gold from Messrs.
Belmont & Morgan. Though its details
only beeaime public Thursday, and were
quite sharply criticised by many, -the
l'a-ct. should not forgotten that the rats
of exchange was in fact controlled, gold
was actually started hitherward from
Europe, and there was entirely arrested,
at least thus far, the outward move
ment, which has semed vdithin 48 hours
of - emptying the treasury. Close criti
cism of things done in such a stress
comes later. For the moment business
only waite to know whether -sales of
A uteri earn securities and withdrawals
of gold from tlie treasury have been
hicitingly stopped by the remarkable in
crease of confidence. The reviving confi
dence has not only prevented' witthdra' ,*■
als of gold by Americans in the main,
blit sales of American securities by for
eigners have been -nearly, if not quite,
balanced by purchases. The two obsta
cles which .Ido.-ik the path just now are
the exceeding cheapness of farm products
and restricted operations in the indus
tries. Restricted purchases (by the West
and South naturally result. Tne ontp.r
of pig iron February 1st was 167,20.
tons, against 168.416, weekly, January
1st: hut the stocks remaining unsold
were 718.073 tons, ,against 645,458 Ja i
wary 1st, .and indicate a decrease of 16.-
137 tous in. actual consumption .weekly
during the month of January. .
The severe storms in February h-a"e
further curtailed production. Sales if
steel rails vrtre 15,000 tons in' January
and there appears a better inquiry for
some finished products, especially in
"ire. wire rods, nails and barbed wire.
The business is encouraging. F’g iron
is unchanged in price at the West; the
Northern sales are pressed, and the de
mand for bar iron is about the same.
Gonteimied dullness is reported in oo,.
tnns and a reduction of prices by the
Amoskeag Mills causes some hesitation.
In the main the works sire well employ
ed. -but ^witli extremely scanty profits
and considerable doubht whether a mar
ket will be found for the accumulating
stocks of some goods. The money market
s'houjs somewhat a larger tendency to strengthen and
offerings of oomm-ercf d
paper appear, -though not in proportion
the reported activity of mills; but any
improvement is encouraging.
A sgeiftwliat closer market it expected
ns a result of the bond transaett’on. The
failure for the first week of F'ehruf ry
show liabilities of only 82.OOft.8SO, cf
which $7°0.248 were of -.manufacturing
a’’d $1,817? were of trading c-.-r.cerns.
The tinaf report for January shows n.n
aggregate of 815,037.033. against 820
843.028 last year: 83.002,228 vter.i of
manufacturing concerns, against 811
580,715 last year; while 11.820,105 were
of trading concerns, against 817,234
587 last year.
Failure for the week were 270 in ih'
United States, against 323 last year, arm
51 in Canada, against 55 Ins’ year.
Brndstrcet’* Report.
New York. Feb. 15__Bra'totrpetV re
port tomorrow will say: Milder aud
pleasanter Weather, following the severe
storms and extremely low temperature,
hive, with fpw exceptions, failed to

Exceptions include a revival 'f demand
in a few lines at Boston' and New York
and in drugs, leather and paper at Phil
adelphia. and in genera] merchandise at

cantile collections better. At the West
here are -improved sales by OHesswi job
bers in dry goods, clothing, fumndhings,
siioes a nil rubbers, and Ka nsas Cf i
announces a larger volume of spring
business. Demand for staples has in
creased at Milwaukee, as at St. Paul,
pointing to simaH stocks held by country
dealers. Elsewhere general trade re
mains at a low ebb. Mercantile collec
tions South and West, yiiith few excep
tions, are slow and unsatisfactory •
Southern, merchants and imariuPa rturers
in some instances are making greater
efforts to collect, amounts due tbai. t<
sell -goods. As one consequence of the
st-a has fallen off to a marked degree,
recent extreme weather, -trade at Anemi
as at Birmingham, Oll'aitbainoogia, Atlan- the
ta, and Ned Orleans, merchants at
latter point finding an unfavorable in
fluence also in the stoomigv of ixaiyfjents
of sugar bounties. Word comos from
Texas that snow throughout that State
has impeded the volume of trade in all
directions.

By Southern Associated Press.
Berlin, Feb. 15.—During the discussion
the Reichstag yesterday on the cause
f or mar it -me accidents, Dr. Von Boettl
cher, Imperial Secretary for the Inter
rior, declared that the Germanic Lloyd's
line had experts at all their ports whose
duty it was to test ships, and If the ves
sels were In course of construction, to
see that the instructions In r gard to
safety were fully carried out. Moreover,
he said, ho had been shown copies of tes
timony g.ven by rescued passengers and
sailors of the Elbe, wherein It was stat d
that n Ither Captain nor the crew of that
ship wi re In any respect blameable for
h r loss. In regard to the statement made
by Herr Bebel tha* the bulk heads of the
Elbe were open, that gentleman was mis
taken, for the doors w. re closed as
shown by the deposition of the sailor who
announced the fact to the captain, but
the collision smashed the bulhead, which
was the connecting wall between the en
gine room and the boiler room. As to the
allegations that the crew had not been
drilled In the handling and lowering of
boats, he did not believe they were true
as, according to previous Information ob
tained by him, the North German Lloyd's
ships had their crews practice In boat
drill during voyages.

THE IRON REVIEW.
Tlie First Two NVeek* of Felirunry
Bring Some I’lnennrngrmcnt.
By Southern Associated Tress.
Cleveland, O., Feb. 14.—The Iron and
Trude Review says today: Two weeks
of February have brought somewhat
more encouragement to the lion trade,
though at a’.! stages they are compara
tive. There arc rumors ns to what Home
of the more important railroad lines w 11
do in rail and car markets, but nothing
that has materialized up to this time in
the.-to d ructions lias made any impres
sion. Bridges, elevated work, office struc
tured. and ship building have furnished
the Irik of tonnage that has gone into
the mills since the year opened.
The past: month has seen further ac
cumulation of pig iron stock* in the
hands of producers. But February has
brought more buying in certain centres
and the movement has begotten the feel
ing that contracts covering several
mouths are safer for the buyer than at
at any time in the past twelve months.
Much is being expected of tlte coming
spring aud once the mills actually get in
hand any considerable percentage of ton
nage that has b en coming to tlie inquiry
stage, the situation will take in a differ
ent aspect on all raw material lines.
In tlie central west ship building has
furnished an almost we ekly quota of or
ders since the first of the year. The
latest, project Hint promises tonnage in
this line is that for eighteen steel canal
boats to run from Cleveland to New
York through the Erie canal. At Plt.tr
burg the situation ns to Bessemer pig
and billets is practically unchanged with
$10.10 and $15.10 respectively as the
market.
