BRADSTREET’S Weekly Review of Trade Reports a Better Demand for Staples. COUNTRY MERCHANTS BUSY. Low Temperature Has Retarded th; Growih of Cotton and Corn In Texas, and in Kentucky the Leaf Tobacco Crop Will Be Short. Bradstreet's Review for the past week says: Favorable business features include the continued decline of water in Hood¬ ed districts of the Mississippi river val¬ ley in a portion of which planting has begun, better demand for staples at Baltimore. St. Louis, Omaha, Mil¬ waukee, St. Paul and Sioux Fa’ls, larg¬ er sales of iron ore to western furnaces and a revival of activity amoDg coun¬ try merchants in some central western States. Favorable trade features In¬ clude the further decline of prices for Bessemer pig iron and steel b’Uets, with production of pig iron in excess of consumption and the prospects fa¬ vorable for blowing out a number of stacks. Cool weather west has check¬ ed the retail trade and complaints are received from wholesale dealers in shoes, clothing and dry goods. Low temperature has retarded the growth of cotton and corn in Texas and in Kentucky the leaf tobacco crop will be short The lake trade outlook is not satisfactory, the movement of build¬ ing materials is slow, mercantile col¬ lections show no improvement and the spring trade in general continues dis¬ appointing. Exports of wheat from both coasts of tlie United States and Canada this week (flour included) amount to 1,- 790,322 bushels as compared with 1,- 555,000 bushels last week, 1,882.000 bushels in the week a year ago, 2,805, 000 bushels two years ago, 2,815,000 bushels three years ago, and as com trasted with 2,712,000 bushels in the like week of 1893.

The total number of business fail¬ ures throughout the United States this apt vaj-v materially^ from what may be regarded as the average In recent years for a corresponding period, amounting to 228 against 244 last week, 267 in the week one year ago, 224 in the week in 1895 and 198 in 1894 and 219 in 1893.

The schooner Louisa D. cleared at the custom house in San Francisco the other day for a cruise to New Baldayo Island. Her trip promises to be a long and romantic one and before she comes back her crow expects that the Ameri can flag will be floating over a little coral reef close to tlxe equator that no aian or nation has claimed. New Bal¬ <hiyo is the name given to the island, but so far the most accurate location that can be given for it is that it is iu the North Pacific ocean. The island ,s said to be covered with an enormous deiKisit of guano and for nearly fifty years numerous vessels have started out in search of it, blit they have al ways retumed without being able to give its location. MACEO’S betrayer To Be Loaded With Chains and Confined in a Dungeon. The unenviable and dangerous pre¬ dicament in which Dr. Zertucha, the betrayer of the Cuban General Maceo, found himself a few weeks ago was re¬ lated in the Mail and Express at the time. It was then told how Zertucha stood between two fires, He was obliged to keep himself concealed lest the Cubans should kill him for his perfidy, and lie was in constant fear that the Spaniards, who despised him after using him, would have him se¬ cretly assassinated, or else transport¬ ed to Africa as a life prisoner. Cable dispatches now announce that Zertucha has been arrested and con¬ veyed to Havana under a close guard, and placed in the military prison in the Cabanas fortress, whence he is to l>e sent to the Spanish penal settlement on Chafarinas Island, off the coast of Af¬ rica.

If these statements are true and there is no reason to doubt them, .he roads evi¬ dently anticipate an early era of pros¬ perity In this State, and propose to help good times along by expending large sums of money, which will be scattered among the people.

A special to the Indianapolis News from Michigan City, Ind., says: Ilenry Jones, colored, a convict of the Indiana State prison, was hanged in the prison shortly after midnight for tne murder of a fellow prisoner named Thomas, who testified against him in his trial which resulted in his last sentence to prison.

LIPPMAN BROS sou Lippman Block, SAVANNAH, GA. ■> raoPKiORs, i THE ENGLISH ARE MAD Because the Senate ^Rejected the Arbi* tration Treaty. The London afternoon papers are bit. ter at the refection of the arbitration treaty by the United States Senate. The St. James Gtizette publishes a long article headed ‘ Free Trade and Brotherly Love,” In which It says: “Great Britain has removed every hamiiering tariff and thousands of square miles of American territory, scores of her cities and millions of her citizens thrive by virtue of tho Bn gllsb market aione. Yet the Senate committee has just >iled up the most vexatious, harassing and Impenetrable wall of tariffs any nation ever formed against another, while the Senate It¬ self has decided against a permanent machinery for the peaceable settle¬ ment of the disputes. The much-abus¬ ed diplomats were ndvised that the treaty would be accented, but the poli¬ ticians preferred to listen to the coun¬ sels of an ex-convict ind sworn enemy of Kngland, wlio, having taken tho oath of allegiance to .he Queen, spends his vacation in Washington advising the Senators to hope and work patient¬ ly for an opportunity to twist the Brit¬ ish lion’s tail. We rejoice at the new Canadian preferential tariff for many reasons, not the least of which is that it restores to us a w< ipou with which to fight our rivals in (lie future. Free imiwrts at any prici deprived us of that weapon.” REQUIEM IASS At Notre Dame for the Diiad ot the Recznt Paris Bazaar Horror.

JOHNSTON, Savannah, Ga. of Johnston & Co. BURYING THE VICTIHS. Twenty Funerals In Paris Last Friday.— Deepest Sympathy Displayed. Twenty victims of the Raris (Ire at the charity bazaar on the Rue Jean Goujon were burled Friday, The churches where the funeral ceremonies took place and the routes traversed by the corteges were thronged with peo¬ ple. The crowds displayed the deei> est sympathy for the relatives of the Victims. With the exception of Socialist news¬ papers, the whole press associates It¬ self with the profound sorrow which has overtaken the upper classes of French society. The papers point out that the ques¬ tion of the responsibilty for the fearful lire at the charity bazaar must be fix¬ ed. They reproach the prefecture of police for not having taken proper pre¬ cautions. The Government has ordered all the subsidized theaters to be closed until Saturday us a mark of respect for the dead. The report that the Countess Caste] lane, formerly Miss Anna Gould, was among the missing. Is pure Invention. The Gastellaues were not even iu the vicinity of the fire.

The remains of the Duchesse d’Alen con were placed iu a eotlln Thursday afternoon in the presence of Fritter Louis and Prince Ferdinand of Jin varia, Huron Lambert and Colonel dr Percival, who signed their names and stalled the coffin. The Due de Ven dome, son of the deceased Duchesse, was also present.

A special from Havana says: Your correspondent Is able upon high au¬ thority to confirm the recent Washing¬ ton reports as lo negotiations pend¬ ing there between Secretary of State Sherman aud Dupuy de Dome, and Es¬ trada Raima, looking to a peaceful so¬ lution, by purchase or otherwise, of the Cuban question. The story s the topic of conversa¬ tion in all the clubs. KIDiario de La Marina, the reform¬ ist organ bore, in a leader sounds an ominous note of warning by intimating Unit the so-called reforms that Premier Panovas lias offend to the Island will be little more than a farce should Cu¬ ba be left to pay the cost of the war.
