Alter all, there is much brighter out
look for the farmers, who are overburdened
with potatoes. For some time past, the
produce exchange has been hammering the
railways for 50-cent rate to the river, and
all had just about given up in despair when
word was received yesterday morning from
Mr.. Parker, of the Union Pacific, that the
concessions asked for had been granted.
This makes a 80 cent rate to the river, and
% cents into Texas These rates go into
effect on the 1st-a week from Monday
next, and dealers and shippers seen yester-
day were of the opinion that they would be
enabled TO move at least one hundred car
loads of potatoes as the result Of the con
cesslon. Bailey & Son were loading five
cars yesterday; r. G. Armstrong, Hyde &
Griffin, Peoples Forwarding company and
Others were also making preparations to
send out as many as possible. BY the 1st
of April, there viii be a large number of
cars loaded both here and at different
points along the line. While the reduction
in rates came at a late day, and will not
prove nearly as beneficial as if it had been
granted when first asked for, still the
efforts will be for good, and will brighten
up the faces of the overburdened farmers
considerably. Dealers and shippers say the
new rate will enable them to pay from Ace
10 45c. per hundred for potatoes, sacked
and on board. The peerless" spuds are in
the greatest demand.
The chamber of commerce building will
undoubtedly be 60 The committee in
whose hands the matter has been placed
report the addition Of several more names
TO the subscription list yesterday
Wholesale trade is rather quiet, but re
tailers report Il fair business during the
week past. Yesterday was an excellent
Saturday.
The building activity continues, not only
in and near the business centre, but many
dwelling houses are in course of erection
IN various parts of the city.
Real estate transactions have been quite
fair during the past seven days; our deal
ers have learned from past experience. how
ever, that it is not wisdom to make toe
great blow, and until the transfers are
recorded one seldom hears of them

100000 bushels, there is thus in sight
about 81, 100000 bushels more than win be
required for food and seed until July lst,
and there is besides a large stock on the
Pacific coast, in country elevators and in the
hands of traders, not included in the visi-
BILE supply, and probably more than the
ordinary stock of flour on hand, the winter
having been open. When it is considered
that the ordinary stock of flour would prob
ably exceed 30000,000 bushels of wheat,
and that last years exports of wheat and
flour, March 1st to July 1st, cover but
2S,OOO,OOO bushels, the prospect of scarcity
seems remote. The price has fallen cents
for the week, with sales of b, 900, 900 bushels
in New York; corn is l cent lower, and oats
a quarter. Pork products are unchanged,
but cotton has again advanced a shade,
though receipts continue up to last years.
No change appears in coffee, and but frac-
ton in oil, though in the latter there was
break and partial recovery. Except in
wheat, the speculative markets for products
have been comparatively quiet.
The stock market has been weak. With
considerable selling by foreigners, perhaps
occasioned in part by fears of disturbance
at Paris, there was increased dishearten-
ment as to railroad prospects. The consent
Of Commissioner Walker to manage the
interstate association does not outweigh
the fact that rates are again being cut, and
part of the roads deem essential to the sue
cess of the plan have not yet assented.
The traffic returns continue fairly ahead of
last years, however, and the root of the
difficulty is still dissatisfaction of investors
with the mannerin which corporations have
been managed. While foreign exchange is
a shade higher, no large demand for money
yet comes from abroad. For the first half
of March the exports from New York
shows an increase of 22.7 per cent, while
imports for the first week gained only per
cent.
The reports from the interior this week
almost uniformly indicate some improve
ment in business, though the complaint of
slow collections is about as general as be-
fore. Money at all interior markets re-
mains in ample supply. The treasury has
taken in during the week only S400, 900 more
than it has paid out, and no change in tinan-
cial policy is announced. On the whole,
while the Improvement in trade is slow and
narrow, 1t is clearly helped by the failure Of
wheat and copper SpeculatiOns, and by the
movement of prices toward a lower level.
For the week, the decline in average prices
of commodities has been nearly half of l per
cent, and since March !, about three-quar-
tiers Of per cent.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven
days, as reported to r. G. Dun & Co.,
number, for the United States 223, and for
Canada IS, or total of 261, as compared
with total of PSI last week, and DOB the
week previous to the last. For the CORES
pOnding week of last year the figures were
DPS, made up of POP in the United States,
and 26 in the Dominion of Canada.

has ELECTED the fact that this machinery is
for use in equipping the DAILY hosting
works so that sinking the shaft can be
prosecuted advantageously QuThe plan re-
solved upon at recent meeting of the
directors of the DAILY Mining company is to
sink the shaft from the 800 foot level to the
900 and possibly the 1000 level this year,
the object being to open up the ore reserves
farther down. The big pump will be used
to lift the water up to the Daly-OntariO

make the DAILY works second to none in the
country, and as soon as the weather permits
the work of putting in the new pump, ETC.,
will be commenced and hurried to compile

Colorado Mines Must Paw Tores

The Supreme court of Colorado has de-
cided that the law Of 1887 providing for the
taxation of mines is constitutional, and
hereafter the mine owners of Colorado will
be compelled to pay taxes upon the full
value of their mines as well as surface i'm
provements. Heretofore the latter only
have been taxable. A comparative has S
for the valuation of mines is fixed by the
law in question, which says that producing
lode mines shall not be valued by assess
ment at over 20 per cent. of the gross value
of the production Of such mines during the
year Immediately preceding the assessment.
At this rate, mine producing 100000 a
wear would be assessed at $4,000. in addi-
tion to the value of the surface improve
