Kentnre of TlilnVeeU. .
NEW YORK , Feb. P. Bradstreefs to
morrow will say :
The strenglh of staples and particularly
those of agricultural origin is the leading-
feaiure this week , as last. In general trade
weather conditions have not favored a large
distribution , but comparisons with a year
ag-o are still quite favorable. Enlarged
speculation is reflected in increased clear
ings and comparisons with last year are
ag-ain encouraging , while jralns over years
previous to 3KO ore very marked. In
strength of demand and size of advance
cottons are still easily first. Although the
crop movement has noticeably enlarged so
active has Iwen the demand from forelpn
spinners that fully * , of a cent advance is
shown. The strength of the raw product
naturally affects manufactured g-oods.
which are very firm and in good demand
from Jobber * . Recent rains have increased
the supply of water and New England mills
are now running to their fullest capacity.
Southern manufacturers are very busy and
will use one-sixth of the south's total colton -
ton production this season.
Corn is higher , partly In s > mpathy with
wheat , but also on reports of damage to
the Argentine crop by heat. Provisions
have been quite ttrong throughout the
week and active demand is responsible for
higher prices of pork and lard In the face
of large receipts of hops at primary mar
kets. The strength of tbe raw sugar posi
tion has be < > n further increased this week
by bullish reports from European beet mar
kets and the expectation that tbe exports
of beet t-upar are liable to be light in the
futureHehned frrade * hiivc been stronp.
partly owing io the strtsnpth of raws nnd
partly to the shutting down of a number of
refineries. Coffee steadily advances , the
result of continued small crop reports from
Brazil and of peed consumptive demand
htrc
Hides and leather are firm and main-

Potter of 894 South Fit Street , Brooklyn. X , YM who says , under date of
Sept. 23 , ISMt , regarding his cure of a dlsfijuHnp face hutnor : My baby's
lace was oovertsl with ringworms. AVe could not lay a pin between the
tores on liU face and neck , and he was n Eight to look at. Two doctors
attended him for three wtk ? , without success , when I heard of Cuticura.
I pot a box of f jticura Soap , and a bos of Cuticura Ointment. I only
applied them three dayF , when 1 could fee hU face was better , and in four
weeks he was cured. His face is as clear as a bell , and not a mark on it.

SAMOANS ARE NOT CONTENTED
Uncli Tribe nlnnie thr Other for the
Trouble Which llroucht Abont
DivlKlon of Group.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. P Saaiosn advices -
vices received by the Meamer Alamcria to
day are to the effect that the aprecairnt
between the three po t" as to the divi
sion of the Samoan group had caused but
little real trouble , though the Malictoa and
Mataata factions were somewhat discon
tented , the MataaJans blaming the Malieto-
ans for causing the trouble which brought
about this result and vice versa. Reports
were received in Apia that at Aana an < l
Sevaii the followers of Mataafa , chagrined
at the news of the division of the islands ,
resolved that the Malietoan adherents who
had returned to their homes must be driven
out of those d'Mricts ' and a large lorce of
Mataafa men attacked the bones of the
Malletoans , routing the residents out and
setting fire to the buildings , later driving
them to Sallemoa.
On December 6 Captain Tilley of the
United State1 navy notified High Chief
Favaee of .the . island of Tutuila that under
the terms of the agreement betw-een the
United States , Great Britain and Germany
the Samoan group would be divided between
the Unltei States and Germany and that the
islands of Tutnlla , Manula and the other
itlands east of Upolu would come under the
protection of the United States. Captain
THley assured the chief through Faivce that
the United Stales would protect the natives
and give then a peed government and thst
it would' hold the chiefs responsible Tor any
trouble that might occur.
Captain Tillry's proclamation wa received
with quiet and order and no apprehension
is felt that trouble w-ill follow at the inau
guration of ibe new regime.

tbe l * ons tatiRht by tb Sr * leb war and

Increase the * naval ( Jrengtb. tbe artlrle
joints out that one result of the Spanish war
w as ) to demonstrate be5"ond further argu
ment tbat battleships constitute the real
fighting strength of a navy , even In France ,
whjch has lontr dune to the armored
cruiser. Armored coast defense vessels have
been practically Ignored in new construction.
While the war threw no new light on tbe
value of torpoio boats , attention vas
fres-hly directed to their vulnerability and
Germany has abandoned the building o !
any more small boats.
I'll ; ( Jnno > ovr > ef i ulnr > - .
Another war lesson was , that tbe big guns
on board ship are secondary hereafter and
dependence must be placed upon a primary
battery of rapid fire guns of modern caliber.
Already the German navy has reduced the
caliber of Its heaviest guns to P.43. Above-
water torpedo tubes have been abandoned
and while toine under-water tubes zire re
tained , the- tendency is toward clearing a
battleship completely of these devices.
Armor must be widely distributed and not
restricted to the water line and gun posi
tions. Foreign navies are securing the very
best armor , rt-gardless of COEU There is a
universal eflort to abolish -wood and com
bustibles from naval vessels. Canvas boats

A comprehensive idea of the tremendous
naval program of the German empire is
shown in an article contributed by Lieu
tenant E. W. Kittedle entitled , "The Crea

Fleet. " He gives from German authorities
in great detail all o' the argument -which
leads to the government demand that th

ships , fifteen large cruisers and thirty-sir

failed to do damage owing to their inability
to run through the American gun firf.
