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.

NKW YOHK , April 21. 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

Irad country roads. Manufacturers are busy
on fall samples. Tnere is considerable in
quiry for ocean freight mom , and largo
quantities of grain will bo moved as soon us

Wai 1 .Street for \VeoIt. .
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.

Two Daring Coiulumnnd .Murderers (111In
Their Liberty.
SINO Sixo , N. Y. , April 21. 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.

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.

He Itefntos the Arguments Made In liolinir
of ( < reit Britain.
PAIUS. April'Jl. .T. C. 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.
