fair demand: Loans were made at per cent

great expansion of trade and industry has
drawn money from the East in large sums to
the South and Far West where it finds more
profitable employment than in securities WELD

terprises which have not yet begun to Weld an

country funds are slow in returning eastward
because of backward trade and consequent
slow collections.
"As soon as these temporary conditions are
passed we may look for easier money and also
better prices for stocks; hut until then the
difficulties of bull campaign are almost if not

COKE TRADE DULL.
Scarcity of Cars and Other Causes Reduce
Shipments-Ovens Tint May be Idle
Rumors of a Coming Deal
Weeks Sfatisfics.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcHJ
ScoTTDALE, March 12.-Shipments of coke
are still on the decline and the coke trade can
not be said to be running in the same groove it
was the preceding fortnight. There has been
radical change in the general situation,
which is attributed to cars being scarce and
consumers taking only immediate requirements.
The indications are that shipments will be
greatly hindered this week on account of
scarcity of cars. which for two months past has
been unknown. The scarcity of cars and num-
erous blockades are having their effect on
Eastern and Western shipments. There are
enough individual cars for the Mahoning and
Shenango Valley trade
The Puh1sutawney region resumIng has had
no bad effect on Eastern trade, for the coke
region, and 1t is almost safe to say that no or
ders have left the coke region on account of
the advance in price. The car scarcity may be
remedied in two weeks or oven less time, and
the situation which now seems greatly changed
and to the detriment of operators-may be
made favorable again. The coke operators, ex-
cept those who have their own cars, are COM
planning. and it may culmnate in many Of the
plants laying OF two days next week.
Noiss About the Works.
The II. c. Frick, Mcclure and other large
coke companies will lay their works idle one
day each week until there is revival in trade.
The Parrish, Fairchance, Stewart, Fountain
and other furnace plants may make six days
Rumor has it that the H: e. Frick Coke Com
pany are negotiating for the purchase of the
Fairchance furnace and ovens. An operator
stated to your correspondent to-day he looked
for the deal to be consummated soon. as the
Frick Company was quite anxious for that
plant 1t consists of 90 ovens, of which 81 are
at present in operation. 1t is located in the
southern end of the region.
The Mahoning plant of 100 ovens is idle again
on account of water accumulating IN the mine,
and as a result the Cambria Iron Company,
owners of which Isaac Taylor is lessee, are
compelled to buy coke Tor their individual use.
They operate iron works in Johpstown. The
Hecla Company operated their works but four
days last week.
Shipments last week averaged over 964 cars
per day, while the shipments of the week be-
fore averaged over 1,030 cars per day. The
shipments, with total Of 6,7s5 cars, were dis

llD News DEMOCRAT: Dear Sir
Az u meeting Of the A, B, club held
Aug, lst | was requested 10 ask you TO
answer through the NEWS -DEMOCAr
the following questions:
LIST, Did not our Democratic council
pass an ordinance TO compel n0n'resi-
dents who wish 10 sell goods In the city
Of Canton 10 paya license or tax for
the privilege 10 sell
2nd Has not such an ordinance been
declared unconstitutional wherever II
was testedY
3rd. Was not the ordinance passed
TO protect the Bt0rekeepeBY
dth, WIN not the person who buys
the goods have TO pay the taxY
9th, Is II not, In your opinion, un-
constltutionalY
Yours Respy, j. Brown.
ANSWER by THE DEMOCRAT,
AS to question No. 1, Yes, AS to
question No, 2. No,
As TO No. 3, we presume the object
of the license ordinance was TO put all
sellers on an equality. The merchant
VHgh IoHl' iHo uMHOl VI lnb NullullR
pays state taxes, county tOxes, city
taxes, gas taxes sewer taxes, pavement
taxes, and sidewalk taxes. He exacts
enough rent TO cover all these taxes,
and Of course the man who rents the
building for q store pays these taxes
when he pays his rent. A license tax
is put on street vender0 to place them
on u par with the local merchant, but
no farmer or gardner is compelled TO
pay any license on any meat, vegeta.
bles, buttor, eggs or any other article of
his own raising
AS TO question No, 4, The person who
buys the goods pays the cost Of produc-
tion, with the rent or license, (as the
case may be,) added, provided the goods
are sold ut the costof production.
AS TO question No. 5. We leave that
to the courts 10 pass on. The average
editor is not u Judge, TO pass upon the
constitutionality OF laws. That be.
longs TO the courts exclusively.
