Its T REVIEW OF TRADE Dun and Bradstreet Ileport Oat look Encouraging. New Tork, April 6. Brad street's says: 'Speculative activity, seeking expres sion in the markets for securities, ce reals, raw cotton and some hog prod ucts, has rather tended to obscure In terest in the general distributive trade, which has, however, been temporarily disturbed in retail lines at least by widespread unfavorable weather condi tions. While the general tendency of this speculation has been bullish, a marked exception was that furnished by bearish movements in wheat and corn, which have lowered the level of thse products for the time being. The general consensus is that retail Easter trade has been to some extent curtailed by rains in the cities and by bad roads in the country districts, but, as above noted, these are really only temporary phases, and the general outlook, alike uja to crops and as to spring trade, as a whole, is inhigh degree encouraging. The textile trades continue a source of dis couragement to manufacturers, but the strength of raw cotton, despite some re curring weakness, shows that at present prices, which axe c above last week, that staple has developed some friends. Lio.uidation of tired holders In wheat and a drive against the leading Chicago bull interests in corn have brought about a lower range of values, but it is worth noting that a heavy export busi ness haa been done In wheat at the de cline, and both of these cereals close above the lowest. The statistical situ ation of lard has been instrumental in bringing about a sharp rise, sympa thized in by other hog products. 'It is hard to see how iron and steel trade conditions could be Improved from the standpoint of the seller. Demand is large, prices are strong and in raw and finished lines the outlook is regard ed as very satisfactory. Price advances have been largely confined to finished products, the features being an advarifce of J2 per ton in plates at Chicago and of $4 in steel hoop prices at Pittsburg. Southern iron is strong, and the change in this branch of trade is well illustrated by the fact that some old export orders are being shipped at a price $4 per ton lower than those now ruling. Iron ore raUs have not yet been announced, but contracts for Bessemer pig are being made freely for delivery two or three months ahead, vv estern bar, billet and rod manufacturers are booked so far ah?ad that they are practically out of th market, end eastern manufacturers ar-j considering advances. Western ag ricultural implement men complain of tardy deliveries, which Is, however, largely true of the trade as a whole. and some manufacturers are buying as far ahead as December next. 'Eastern shoe manufacturers are hur rying shipments to complete spring or ders, and the aggregate for the week Is again in excess of last week and laat year. Leather is firm but quiet" at Bos ton. At Chicago large users have sup plied their wants and sales are small, but tanners are holding prices steady. Heavy leather la rather easier at Phil adelphia, in sympathy with the weak ness in hides. Weather conditions, except in the northwest, have been rather unfavor able to planting and ground prepara tion. This is particularly true in the south, where cotton planting is r"etaided. Heavy fertilizer ah-ipmenta 'point to a 4j4 4 e- is necessary, ei ! PAINTING, i ej C M ej FQ- JL f 11 I Teleplionc S21. 1 -n i jk f i fill t J l-JNN I Hi.! J! 1 UllL!JOlllllSe)ll LLUbliLJyplii On the Mayoral ity question in Topeka seems to be inevitable. J I II ffS all one sided there's largj increase in acreage in the south Atlantic states. On the other hand, heavy snows in Kansas and Nebraska, and no less heavy rains in the central west, have benefited winter wheat pros pects, w hich in Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri are reported excellent. Ohio's wheat condition shows marked Improve ment, over last year. In California weather conditions have not been fav orable and deciduous fruits have bean hurt by frosts." DUN'S REPORT. Dun's Weekly Review of Trade today says: "While the general business world haa looked with amazement at the perform ance of the stock market, trade has maintained its even course, and there are many more points of gain than of loss, with even a slightly steadier tone in the dry goods market. There some sellers have withdrawn offers at recent low prices, though buying is Bmall as yet. Collections in all lines are unusual ly prompt and in the building trades contracts have been entered into suffi cient to furnish a decided impetus in allied lines during the spring season. "No sign of lessening demand is per ceptible in any branch of the iron and steel industry. Mills are accepting con tracts for the closing months of the year and there is every indication thac 1?01 will surpass all records in the quantity of pig iron consumed by manufacturers. Though capacity has been wonderfully enlarged during the past five months, there are still many extensions and new plants contemplated. It is also probable that the customary summer repairs of furnaces and mills will be accomplished within a shorter period than usual, as contracts call for heavy deliveries right through the season. Permanence of prosperity in this industry is becoming more certain as there is less evidence of inflated prices. Regular quotations have not altered, except for bars, and foundry pig iron, although all sorts of premiums are paid where prompt ship ment is required. Although fewer ovens are active in the Connellsville region than a year ago, the output is much larger and about 3,000,000 tons were made during the quarter. "Shipments of boots and shoes from Boston are steadily increasing, the last week's movement reaching 94,453 cases, against 92,975 in the previous week, and 89.034 a year ago. Quotations are steady, but it is feared that the recent declines in leather and hide will make it possible for the small shoe manufacturers to cut prices when they are compelled to seek new business. An unexpected demand has appeared for russet shoes, equaling last year's business, despite the fact that these lines were considered less popular. The circular of Coates Bros, on April 1 made the average of 100 grades of wool 17.99 cents, a decline of nearly a cent since March 1. and 5 cents compared with April, 1900. During the past two weeks, however, the market has steadied and there is much more trading. Mod erate buying ia done by worsted mills. "After declining within a sixteenth of 4 cents, it was not surprising to see cot ton recover half a cent. The oversold condition of the speculative market was chiefly responsible, and Southern dis patches gave support by statements of unfavorable planting conditions Sup plies were against any pronounced rise in price, however,, and conditions con tinue extremely depressing. Aggressive manipulation of corn forced prices to an unreasonable point, from which the fall was severe; and wheat also weakened, although exports from the Atlantic coast continued liberal. Pork pioducts did not show the usual sympathy with corn when it reacted, for Chicago op erators absorbed offerings readily. "Commercial failures in the first quar ter of 1901 were 3.335 in number and $31, 703,486 in amount of defaulted liabili n pi At, jf-k fs I i Is s ri ;J "UiP 1 s h ! A In regara to When you are interested PAPER WALL --We are so no show for a ties, of which 710 were in manufacturing for $12,504,222 and 2,468 in trading for $14,552,906, with 157 others not properly Included in either class, that owed $4. 646,358. Banking defaults numbered twenty-one, with liabilities of $3,441,3S9. While exceeding the same three months of last year in number, failures were much smaller in amount; commercial and financial insolvencies together show ing a decrease of $21,532,180. Only two years of the last twenty made a better r'jowing, either in aggregate or averaga indebtedness to each failure, while the proportion of $26.74 to each firm in busi ness, and $1.09 to each $1,000 of solvent payments through clearing houses, are records that were surpassed but once in two decades. For the month of March total liabilities were much smaller than in the corresponding month of any year since monthly statements were first published. These figures indicate most undeniably that the next century has opened with business on no uncertain foundation." MAY GO OVER, Council Talks of Adjourning Till Monday. Unless the council comes to a conclu sion on the vote for mayor this after noon they will meet again tonight. If at that time they are unable to arrive at any conclusion they m'ist take a re cess to another day. The lawyers have decided that this can be done just as the state senate does the last few days of the session. The matter may hang fire in this way for several days. Mayor Drew says that he will insist upon the council holding continuous meetings until they arrive at some con clusion. "Some one was elected," said the mayor, "and who ever it was is entitled to the seat. I am tired of it, and hope the matter will be settled thia after noon." GO TO WRONG PLACE. City Poll Books Should Not Be at County Clerk's Office. There has been a mistake in the way the returns have been made in the city elections. According to the law the re turns should be made by the Judges to the city clerk. One tally sheet should be kept open for public inspection by the clerk and one should be sealed and kept for the city council to use when it can vasses the vote. One of the things which no one could understand last night was that the duplicate tally sheet had been filed with the county clerk, and could not possibly be obtained even in case of a contest. The commissioner of elections and the judges have con strued the law wrongly. It seems com mon sense that one of the sheets should be filed for public inspection, as is the case in township elections, and the other sheet should be kept for the city council. Wrhat good could come of filing a sheet with the county clerk, which could not be opened under any circumstances? This is the question which all of the lawyers were at sea upon last night, and which will explain some things to the people generally. One of the best lawyers in the city is authority for the statement that the reports from the judges should be so filed, and he cites the law very plainly in regard to it. Marshall's Band Members will meet at band room so as to leave promptly at 2:30 p. m., Sun day, April 7th, to accompany Knights Templar to church. Full uniform. P. D. RUSSELL.
