STATE OF TRADE.

The strikes have in them the possibility of
an almost utter paralysis Of business, thong
it would be an easy matter to restore order
and rend5uss the relations oflemployer and
employe II both parties would assume con-
ciliatory attitude. The fear OF strikes has al
ready caused depression in business. There
was marked decrease in the bank clearings
/ of this city last week. Leading mercantile
houses report that trade is small at time Of
the year when it would naturally be growing
active Country dealers refrain from order
ing large quantities of goods in view of the
uncertainty of their delivery. /.
| Labor troubles at this time are particularly
disappointing to many people from the fact
that they had made up.their minds to large
volume OF mercantile trade. Everything
looked prosperous, and the spring business
promised to be the largest in the history Of
the country. 1t is not too late yet to correct
the bad tendencies, and it is to be hoped that
wise counsels will prevail. But if strikes do
multiply they need cause 70 panic.'...T bust
ness fabric is in strong condition, and SOL
vency is the rule among those who give direc-
| tion to trade. We have not had a,.mercantile
failure of national Importance this year, and
there seems to be no reason to expect any such
| svent.
The failures dtiring the last week through
out the United States end Canada aggregated
221, a decrease Of % from the total of the pre-
ceding week.
Cotton goods are quiet, but the product of
leading mills has been well sold up, and few
weak spots in the market have been devel-
oped by the recent decline in the price of the
raw staple. Wool is dull. Manufacturers are
waiting for clearer discernment OF future
conditions las they may be affected by tariff
changes and the new clip, before stocking
up freely in advance of actual wants. Prices
OF wool hold steady, but the market is with
out strength and trade opinions are unsettled
and uncertain. Wooden goods have moved
slowly as rule, although some specialties
have done well. The market will absorb the
production If prices shall be made attractive
to buyers as was demonstrated at the Airing
ton mills auction sale in New York last Tues
day; but under existing circumstances 1t is
difficult to cheaper cost without loss to man
ufacturers, and in many lines foreign makers
have the advantage.
The iron and steel trade remains quiet, the
hand-to-mouth policy governing operations in
all departments.
A stronger foreign demand for wheat has
checked short selling and caused better feel
ing In the speculative markets. There has
been an increase in the speculative trading in
hog products, and also better, export bust
ness in lard.
The winter packing Of provisions in the
west showed decrease of 900 hogs, The
smaller outturn was partly offset by decreased
exports.

Strike Notes.

CHICAGO, April 3-An afternoon paper
publishes the advance sheets from the report
Of the grand secretary of the Order of Rail
the managers Of the various railroads. The
report is made up almost entirely of bitter
denunciation of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers. An extract of the report
says:
The time has come when the conductors
should in every instance oppose this organi-
zation in Its demands on the railway con-
panies, becattsc every time you aid the en-
gineers you iDjure your own standing, pros
poets and probable increase Of remuneration.
1t is time for the railway conductors to teach
the railway officers what the engineers them
selves already well know, and are anxious to
conceal that nine-tenths of the conductors OF
the United States are capable of trustworthy
engineers today. The engineer receives pay
for the intelligence, knowledge, skill, expert.
ence and responsibility of the conductor.
