NKW YOIIK , April 21. U. O. Dun & Co's. weekly review of trade : Monetary doubts have overshadowed all other Infiuencos at New York , but bavo not generally affected trade at most other points. AVhoat has fallen 2ii cents , with sales of JO.OOO.OOObushels ; corn 2'j cents ; oil 2' cents , and colfco I' < cents. Wheat receipts have been 2.200.WX ) bushels at western points in four days and Atlantic exports net ( JOO.UOO bushels. Pork products are somewhat lower , though declining loss than corn. In thn cotton market liquidation has con tinued , and with sales of 1,203.)3 ( ) ; ) bules hero the prlco has dropped five-sixteenths of 1 cent. The week's receipts from plantations are equal to last year's , nnd reports indicate some increase this year in acreage. Heports from other cities show some em barrassment from storms and the backward spring , with some signs of shrinkage from other causes. Tardy spring makes clothing quiet , and the advance in shoes retards buyers. The building trade is active and tno doinand for lumber large , but sales of wool are moderate. Iron is somewhat weaker at Plttsburg , but the glass trade is active. Business at Cleveland is In volume larger than last year , but money is active and close. At Cincinnati there is a fair shipping busi ness In clothing. The demand for dry goods at Indianapolis Is good , but money is closer. Trade at Detroit is good , with collections improved. At Chicago navigation opens with heavy shipments. Currency docs not return , as was expected , and large sums nro tied up in fair preparations , so that bankers are con servative. Receipts of cattle , butter and barley increased moderately over last year ; sheep , . ' ! 0 per cent ; wool lilt and wheat 700 tier cent , while In cheese , hogs , flour and lard there Is n decrease , corn HO per cent , and rye and cured meats 00 | > cr cent. At most northwestern points weather checks trade and at points in Wisconsin lightness of money causes apprehension and collections are slow. At St. Paul trade is fair , but Hooding retarded. St. I/iiis reports bright prospects and largo demands for money from the south west , though owing to the low price of cot ton southern order's are remarkably slow. Trade. Com ! nt Onmlm. At Omuli-.i trade is good , and at St. Joseph good. Business at Kansas City is very quiet , with largo receipts and lower prices for cattle. At Denver trade is only fair and at Salt Lake quiet. Weather retards trade at Louisville and Nashville ; Knoxville and at Little llock business is quiet ; at Columbus very dull , but with improved collections , and at Atlanta fair for the .season. At Mobile cotton is moved more freely and nt New Orleans sugar Is strong , but rice and other trades quiet. Money In active demand. Pig Iron is n shade firmer for foundry , but Bessemer is weaker nt Pittsburg and Bir mingham. No. 2 is offered at f'.l. Trade in bar is dull , with the prices us low as ever , and a cut to t-l.Oli in beams and channels is reported. Sales of lake copper at llj-f cents are rumored. The demand for tin is slow , while coal is dull and easy. In textile fabrics mills are still busy with old orders. CoUsc- tlons throughout the country' are at all points slower than iisuul ami conditions such that a monet.-.ty stringency might occur if oxchp.ngo with this center was embarrassed. Alcanwhilo exports of merchandise in April 'fall much below last year's , while Imports Increased nearly 20 per cent , so that the e.x- cess of imports amounts to considerably moro. The failures occurring throughout the country during the last seven days number 203 , compared with totals of 209 last week. 1'W the corresponding week last year the figures were 201.

Brndstreot tomor row , will say : The backward sea son and storms causa a tendency on the part of Jobbers generally in staple lines to act conservatively , while general trade is less favorable than a week ago. Further reduc tion of cotton prices results in a shading of ( { notations for cotton goods , print cloths going off one-eighth of n cent , with an Im provement In general demand based on the concessions. It is denied that the prices are nhndcd , but samples of the now clip are In thu markets. In addition quotations have gone off on wheat , cor n and oats , pork and lard , on lice and coffee among food staples , the reduction in the last being due to thu pricking of the bull bubble blown by the JCuropean speculators in that berry. There Is n imnifcst halt in the rate of progress of gcneiT.i trade , compared with like seasons in previous years , although the volume of busi ness is of larger proportions , as fihown by bank clearing totals. Exports of wheat from both coasts of the United States for six davs. ending with April 20 , aggregated il.Olia.OUO ( Hour in- eluded ) , u total slightly In excess of that for the preceding week , but about equal to the quantity sent abroad in thu like week a year ago. It is 20 per cent more than was sent abroad in thu third week of April in 18111 , 1800 or ISS'J. Stocks ot wheat lit homo and in Europe and afloat for Europe caused traders to buy conservatively and constitute tlio dead weight in prices. Some Chicago carriers have secured money in Now York this week , the western center having had its surplus funds fully employed. The acute condition of the currency com plication creates bearish and declining ten dencies In the market for securities. There has. however , been an absence of panicky symptoms , and declines are moderate , but liquidation had still to bo effected , snowing that thu markets discounted the anticipated rises. Professional iterators , whllo bear ish , hesitate to swell thu short interest , and long buying is preventing complete specu lative organization. The lack of improvement of favorable re port as to the outlook in tliu New England ii-jd middle states lias not changed. The in crease in movement of cotton goods from Boston , duo to decline In prices , is offset by continued decreases In the volume of ship ment of shoes for a month past. Louisiana sugar acreage has Increased cotton crop re | > orts are unfavorable and there Is said to be a scarcity of seed. In thu province of Quebec trade in dry goods , paints ami hardware continues to suf fer because of the unseasonable weather and Irad country roads. Manufacturers are busy on fall samples.

NKW YOUK , April 21. Bradstrcot's weekly rovlow of the stock market this week will say ; In spite of the weakness in prices and sharp breaks Which have occurred in par ticular stocks , the stock market , which for a while has been free from panicky symptoms , supports the pressure of the existing financial complications with noteworthy steadiness. The street has been preparing for an expected crisis for months past and therefore not surprised. Liquidation has been so thorough that the opportunity for "shaking out" weak holdings were reduced to minimum , whllo brokers and their customers have arranged their accounts in anticipation of the actual developments. This Is Illustrate ) by the comparative ease of money. The street on tlje whole seems to regard the present dispensation as a noces- s ry evil , and as the lint step toward an elucidation of toe whole silver trouble , there blnff much less dlsboaltlon to look for a r relief In the form of a govern- input hitd Ksuo than was the caio a short tlmo ago. The nearest approach to n real btiMiit In prices was on Friday , when the shipment of fJ.OUO.OOO In gold and n rise in call loan rates , supplemented by the failure of a large street i-onccrn , caused heavy dc- cllr.os which , In the lust inrt of the day , were followed by a sttong rally on the rumor that the treasury would continue td pay out gold on the treasury notes.

Hoehl and Pallister , murderers , escaped from prison last night. Doth men were under sentence to bo electrocuted soon. Guard Hulso said tliAt at 7 o'clock last night he passed supper into Pullister's cell. The condemned man throw a handful of popper into the guard's eyes. IIulso was tillnded and Pallister rushed on him , took his revolver away anil under threats of death forced IIulso into Pollster's cell , first taking the keys from him. Ho then locked IIulso in the cell and unlocked the cell of Murderer Frank Hochl. The two murderers then unlocked the cells of Carlyle W. Harris and Murderer Osmond. They invited these to escape with them. IJoth Harris and Osmond refused. Pallister and Uoohl waited until 9 o'clock , when Guard Murphy came on duty. As Murphy entered tno corridor PallUter presented a pistol at Murphy's head , tak ing the keys from him and looked him in Hoehl's cell. Pallister took IIulso's shoes and cap from him and put them on himself. Threatening to kill the guards if they made un outcry , the two murderers climbed down Into the yard and made their escape , whether by the river or over the wall was not known. The terribly stormy night facilitated their escape. It is supposed Pallister had been saving the pepper given him daily with his meals with the objeot of escape in view. In connection with the escape of the two convicts , condemned .nurderers , It leaked out this morning that thu brother of Hochl arrived in this city ten days ago from Ger many with ? 7,000whlch Uoehl had inherited. His brother , upon his arrival hero , culled upon Goldberg & McLaughlm , the prisoner's counsel , and informed them that ho was going to Sing Sing. After a stay of a few- days there ho returned to this city and said that lie would immediately return to Ku- ropo. Ho is believed to have remained in the country and to have assisted In his brother's eac'upo. It is believed that Harris' refusal to take advantage of his opportunity to eseapo will have some weight with the governor In de ciding his case. COLUMllVti F/.KKC AIlllU'KH.

OPPONENTS OF HOME RULE Sir Henry James and Mr. Balfour Attack the Measure , GLADSTONE'S ' GRAND ANSWER TO THEM Never In lleltor Turin , tlio ( Irnnd Old Sinn Mukos it StlrrltiK Appeal for Justice fur Ircliiiul rnmcd Us Second Ito LOS-DDK , April 21. Members of the House of Cumitiutis Hocked to tliu House cnrly today to secure seats for the final contest over the second reading of the Irish homo rule bill. Dr. C. 1C. Tiinncr , nationalist member for Cork , was first to arrive , being present us early tis 0 o'clock. Sir Henry ilnnif" ) ' Address. Sir Henry James , liberal unionist , ad- dressisd the House this afternoon In opposi tion to the bill. He suid that the govern ment of Ireland would bo In the hands of those now forming the majority of Irish representatives men drawn from the land league and proved to 03 conspirators against law. These men would take place anil power with the dotormltutlon to sweep out of Ire land the landlords , whom tliov regarded as an Knglish garrison. "Talk of the bill as a final settlement , " oxi'lalmed Sir Henry. "It Is simply a meas ure to enable a section of Irish agitators to deal us they may elioose with tlio country. It is practically a repeal of Hie union and an epitaph on the supremacy of the Imperial 1'nrli.imcnt. Instead of being a measure of peace between the two countries , it was u message of war. There might for some time be an armed peace , but If It should require the interference of the military in order to enforce it , where could real peace be ! The bill surpasses the ingenuity of man in devis ing proposals to bring the law Into contempt. There is not a man in Ireland who could not set its provisions at defiance. Neither could the judges enforce it. Had tlio bill been ex plained to the English constituencies , the present government could nnver have ob tained oven a limited English minority In support of It , and the prime minister , whois trying to pass the measure solely through Irish votes , would never again have sat on a government bench. " Mir Henry James was heartily applauded at the close by the conservatives and liberal unionist members. Early In the evening the debate was mou- ouollzcd by minor members. At 10 o'clock Mr. liladstono entered hurriedly amidst cheers. Members began to return rapidly. At 10:150 : Mr. Balfour was received with cheers. All the members had meantime taken their places and the house waited ex pectantly for the heavy guns of the final de bate on tlio second reading. lliilloiir'H Argument ! * . Mr. Balfour arose shortly bcloro 11 o'clock. A longer period had never been occupied with the second reading of a bill , lie said , than had been allowed for the present de bate. No man , however , had dared contend that within tlio narrow limits of the two islands four assemblies , with four execu tives , could bo operated In harmony with one Imperial Parliament. He , himself , could not believe that this childish imitation of the United States constitution would ever commend itself to the Judgment of the Uritlsh people. ( Cheers. ] He , therefore , would put the federation aside , as not imme diate to the discussion. The home rule bill had been brought forward to meet tlio liberal party's necessities , wr.icli were con nected with Irish agitation and Irish crime. [ Hear , hear. ] "Never had such an Important constitutional change been proposed with " "such illmsy reasons. Substantial arguments for the necessity of the measure could bo enumerated on the lingers of one hand. Two of these arguments were that the union had failed and that coercion had failed. Mr. Balfour was interrupted by confusion among the Irish members , and upon resum ing his speecli shouted that agrarian crluio in Ireland was at its worst before the union. This statement evoked loud cries of , "No , false. " and "Shame , " from the Irish members. Proceeding , Mr. llalfour said It was mad ness to look forward with the urcmonltlon of scoing agrarian crime stamped out in the immediate future. It was absurd to hold for Ireland's although England responsible woes , though it might bo admitted that England sometimes had played a sorry part towards her sister country , who could but feel dis gusted with the creeping hypocrisy of the men who , although aware of the history of Ireland , throw upon England the responsi bility for Irish wrongs. What answer had "tho government given to the argument that homo rule. would Inflict Injuries upon the British taxpayer ! None. What answer did the unionists get when they asked about the so-called supremacy of the British Parliament. ? Everybody knew that this would bo only a paper supremacy. The Irish would have the real and the Brit ish the illusory supremacy. [ Cheers. ] Could anybody imagine how the two majorities would work together ? U'hnt Homo Hide Meant. Mr. Balfour described the bill as a decisive step towards separation , although not ailnal one. To make it law , ho suid , would lead ultimately to the disintegration of the em pire. Ho next discussed in considerable de tail the financial aspect of the homo rule bill. The bill , if passed , would entail losses and hardship upon all classes in Ireland. Irish ambitions would center In the Dublin Parliament. Irishmen would regard the Imperial Parliament as a foreign and unrelated " lated body. The Irish people "would drink from the bitter and polluted stream of Irish history Instead of the pure stream of Eng lish history. [ Laughter. ] "If you commit this great political crime , " said Mr. Balfour In closing his speech , "you make yourselves responsible for an irretriev able national disaster , and all hopes of a peacofjl and united Ireland will vanish for ever. " Prolonged cheers and counter cheers fol lowed this peroration. Prince Christian Joined the prince of Wales in the peers' gallery and Sir William Har- court took his place on the treasury bench. When UliiiUtiinn Anise. As Mr. Gladstone arose to address tlio house the cheering was renewed. Like Mr. Balfour , ho was In splendid form. His voice was clearer and fuller than any tlmo before during the session and his movements gave evidence of unusual energy and earnestness. The principal weapons of the opposition , ho said , were bold assertion , persistent ox- agceratlon , constant misconstruction and copious and baseless arguments. True , there were financial arrangements to Do dealt with , but among the dinieultlcs nothing existed which ought to abash or terrify men when they were to accomplish a great object. The opposition had evaded steadfastly the answer to tlio question of the second reading how can Ireland bo governed if this bill be rejected ? Lord Salisbury had asked for twenty years of coercion , but as the duty of convertIng - Ing Ireland to Protestantism , inaugurated under Queen Elizabeth , had failed down to the present time , what ground was there for hope that in but twenty years It would succeed ! The late government had started with a majority of 1120. Neither tlio children nor grandchildren of this generation would see such a majority again. Yet the whole fabric of their policy had failed ; and what guarantee was there that it would not fail again ? The present bill sought to close a con troversy that had lasted for centuries. Ire land's loyal acceptance of the present bill should cause distrust and this disbelief to vanish. There had oeen no disaffection of the Irish mind since the door of hope had been opened. The continued distrust of the Irish people , despite all tuoy could do , cnmo'sitnply to this that they were to bo pressed below the level of civilized mankind , 'when the boon of self-government was given to the British colonies was Ireland alone to bo oxceptcd from Its blessings ? To deny Ireland home rule was to say that she lacked the ordinary faculties of humanity. Ill * ( irand Cloning : . Mr. Gladstone's closing words were : "You cannot bo surprised that wo have under taken the solution of this great question , and as on tlio one hand It is not least of the arduous efforts of the liberal party , so , on the other hand , it will huro Us place in his tory aye , and not remote , but early history aa not the least durable , fruitful and blessed among Us accomplished acts. " Before the cheering ceased George Bart- loy , conservative for North Islington , rose to continue thu debate. Mr. Morley , chief sec- rotary for Ireland , moved the eloturo and It was adopted. , , , William Sniiniiura , radical- for the AVal- worth illvlsjqu , of Nowlngton , who threatened to lioji , the opposition , changed his mind at thqJjyU moment and went into the lobby with.-VID Ministerialists. . . . As Mr. Gladflttmo returned from tlio lobby , liberals and nationalists , rose , cheered and waved their hats. John Kedmond shouted : "Three cheers for Parnelll" but the only response - sponso was lauuhter. The ntinouncttiUnt that the bill had passed the second reading by a vote of SH7to80l was the signal for more cheers and hat wav ing. There wn4'nhbthcr demonstration when Mr. Gladstone , loft the House. Crowds had gathered nuts\do \ , the building and as the prime minister r u away he was followed by their cheers , . Tlio division wris taken on strict party lines. Every nationalist member voted with the majority. The dissident liberals to a man , went with the oni > osltlon. The prince of Wales remained until the result of tlio division was announced. UAN NKW4 NOTIIS. MlnUtnr I'oltcr linn Audience with KliiR Humbert unit O.UPOII MiirKni'rltr.

Carter , counsel for the United States In tlio Bering sea tribunal arbitration , continued his argument on behalf of the American claims. He criticised the weak p.irts o , the case presented on behalf - half of Great , Britain. Ho admitted that the United States asked for a monopoly - ' of the seals But a monopoly , ho _ argued , could only be injurious when artificial prices were induced by It. In the present iilstau.ee that was impossible. On the con trary , the monopoly asked for by the United States Would encouoSK.i' production and bo beneficial to humanity in the same way as laws providing for patents and copyright. Carter proceeded to refute the British argument that seals devoured British tish in the waters of British Columbia. The fish of those waters. Carter said , were the prop erty of the world. Carter quoted from the Joint report of the commissioners of Great Britain and the United States appointed to investigate the condition of seal life in the north Pacitlc ocean to sustain his contention that pelagic sealing was wrong. The United States , Carter said , would tolerate the right of Indians to pursue seals for per sonal sustenance , but not for commercial purposes. Mr. Carter , continuing his argument , re verted to the ( inestion of property in seals. He says that the law goes to the farthest extremity when social advantage is at stake and gives protection to prop erty , even when intangible. In con clusion , Mr. Carter submitted that when an animal , though wild , voluntarily becoir.es subject to the control of man , so that animal Increase could be taken and the species pre served , the right of property resulted. Ho admitted the British argument that the rec ognition of the rights of the United States would tend to establish a monopoly. When did a monopoly become injurious ? Only when a rise of prices was indue id by it. It was Impossible for the United States to withhold the skins from the mar ket to force up prices. Such a policy would load eventually to such an accumulation that in the end the United States would bo obliged to throw the skins on the market in great bulks and thus lower the price im measurably. It was only by the care and self-denial of the United States that the scaling industry had been enabled to exist , therefore the protection demanded was only their due. The court adjourned until next Tuesday. \VII.I , NOT ACCKl'T , ll'IM > . Count KnlnoUy or Austria So Inform * ( ho I'nlted State * . VIENNA , April 21.
