THE WEST NOW LEADS.
The Decreasing Eastern Trade no Longer
Affects Western ClearingS

NEW YORK. April Pr. g. Dun & Co.
in their weekly review of trade say: The
situation is unusually confused, and adj
vancing markets for stocks and for grain
contradict each other. The western re-
ports as to probable crops are more
definitely unfavorable, but the buying of
stocks. no longer entirely by professionals,
continues as if much larger traffic for the
future were assured. The western roads
show a more peaceable disposition, and eX-
changes at western cities generally indl-
cate larger volume of business while the
large eastern cities, Cincinnati, Cleveland
New Orleans all report smaller clearlngs
than last year. Until within the past year
or two il has always happened that shrink
age in transactions at eastern centers was
soon followed by decreasing trade else
where but there are many who believe
that new state of things has Come in that
respect The reports of business trans
acted are by no means uniformity favor
able. At New Orleans the movement is
light. Detroit and Milwaukee report quiet
in trade but at most other western points
some improvement is noted Collections
are better at St. Paul and Kansas City. but
slow and unsatisfactory at points in Ohio,
Michigan and Wisconsin.
There is prospect that the output of
iron will now improve, though prices do
not.
The accounts of the boot and shoe trade
are little better, though the demand of
buyers for lower prices appears to cause
hesitation.
There have been considerable sales of
leather at some concessions, and hides are
weak.
Wheat has advanced one cent and corn
half cent, with hogs and pork products
weaker.
Cotton and coffee are a shade stronger
and oil ~ cent lower. The general av
erage of prices is now a little lower
than it has been at any other time
since January /, Notwithstanding an
advance of 4 per cent Oh breadstuffs, and
y on meats, but manufactured and i'm
ported articles are generally about per
cent lower than at the beginning of the
year.
1t becomes clearly at the prevailing
tendency of prices and of wages is toward
a lower level, though actual or appre-
hended scarcity of farm products affects
prices in some speculative markets.
The business failures during the last
seven days number: For the United States,
1913; for Canada, so; a total of 223 as COM
pared with 195 last week and 191 for the
corresponding week of last year.

ENGLAND.

LONDON, April 27.-The statement that
the pope has issued decree condemning
the plan of the campaign in Ireland is con-
firmed His holiness says he does so be
cause he is convinced that the plan of the
campaign is illegal. He says he is also
convinced that the land courts will reduce
all unfair rents. Another circumstance
that influences him, he says, is the fact
that the funds are extorted from all con-
tributors to the plan. The pope condemns
boycotting as practice contrary to justice
and charity: He makes no mention of the
National league.

less than sixty members in their seats and
most of them were reading or writing.
But this was an improvement on the night
session, at which the speech making went
on hour after hour with Just seven mem

galleries attested the lack of interest the
public is taking. But empty seats CON
stitute only feature of the comedy Each
speaker is invariably interrupted by some
body, ususally a personal friend of the
other side, and asked lot of questions
These he answers with wonderful readi-
ness. Then his side applaud him, and the
whole thing goes into the Record to be
read and marveled over by constituents

From Texas, and from Mr.. Mills own
Congressional district, comes voice OF
indignant protest against the course he
is pursuing in Congress. The Cattle,
mems Association OF Central Texas, in
convention ut Waco, the principal town
in Mr.. Mills district, has adopted with
only two dissenting votes condemnatory
resolutions, OF which the following are a
part:
We leprecate the course OF Mr.. Mills
and put ourselves on record in hearty
condemnation OF his conduct and his
bill.
Forsaken by our Representative, we
urge upon our Senators and Representa-

from other States to protect Texas, il her
own Representatives fail to do SO.
Protection on raw wool is purely n
protection to the producer, the farmer,

be maintained; and, finally,

proposed removal OF the duty on wool
