REVIEW OF TRADE.

Unfavorable Weather Throughout the
West Having its Effect Upon Business
and Causing Apprehension In Regard to
the Crops-MGhsY Generally Easy with
Improvement in Observation-Disclosures Fail
ures, Etc.
NEW YORK, May 14.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
The continuance of the anfavorable weather
throughout large part of the west begins to
cause apprehensions In regard to the crops.
All other respects the situation appears satls-
factory, and at most points the prospects for
trade are considered more hopeful that a
short period of geod weather would speedily
change the temper OF business, The money
markets are everywhere easy, with Visible i'm
provement In the demand at q few points.
Bad weather, long continued heavy irains, i'm
passable roads, and delay in plowing and seed
ing are NAMED de retardiDg trade in dispatches
from Cleveland, from Denver, and from nearly
every intermediate city reporting. Yet at Chi
cago sales exceed last years, collections are
easy and the good condition of trade in spite OF
retarding Influences is manifest. St. Louis
notes strong trade in all lines. Kansas City
heavy receipts of cattle, though grain receipts
are light; Minneapolis good lumber trade,
-four output of 10000 barrels daily, and
excellent prospects; Omaha and Denver a
fairly maintained trade in spite Of the weather.
The east reports fair trade. At Pittsburgh q
better demand for iron is seen. At Boston dry
goods 3obbers have been closing out summer
goods, but stocks are moderate, woolen mills
are busy, though clothlers not buying free
ly, but blankets sold far ahead, orders for boots
and shoes come steadily and keep the factories
busy and leather is in strong demand The
south has little to report at this season,
though Savannah finds the outlook improved by
recent rains, business is light at Montgomery,
quiet at Little Rock and Memphis, and only
moderate at New Orleans with sugar in fair de-
mand and rice active. The stock market has
been dull during the week. and the range of
prices slightly lower. The spring trade in
dress goods still holds on with a large demand
for immediate distribution and the trade in
f1annels was never better.

the country during the last seven days, number,
for the United States. $50, and for Canada 20, or

A RATE DEMORALlzER.

Indictment of General Freight Agent Fan
of the Delaware, Lackawanna q West
ern for Violation of the Interstate Conn
merce Law by Giving Rebates to Ger
tain shippers.
CHICAGO, May 14.-Abram Fell, of
Buffalo, n. Y, general freight traffic
manager of the Lackawanna & West
ern railway, was indicted by the fed
eral grand jury on the charge OF giving
discrimination freight rates to Swift s.
Co., the packers of this city. Pell is al
legged to have steadily violated the in
ter-state commerce law relating to
freight rates for over a year, and
proof was presented to the grand
jury that on Felfs orders exactly
$50, ,96S.68 was paid to Swift & Co.
in rebates through one of their agents
last year, and that at another period
81, 400 was also paid to the same agent
whose name is A. r. Fay. The rebate
and charges were paid by Fell while he
was also agent for the Wabash &5
Lackawanna dispatch, fast freight
line composed of the Wabash, Grand
Trunk and Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western railroads. The bills were paid
but Fell gave a drawback of five cents
on each 100 pounds, bringing Swift's
aggregate, less than the full amount
1t was shown that Mr.. Fay had depos-
tied the money one day and drawn it
out the next and afterwards deposited
it to the credit of Swift & Co.
{ It was thought at first that Fell
could be best prosecuted under section
5,440 of the revised statutes of the
United States, governing general con-
spiracy. District-Attorney Milchrist,
however, abandoned this project and
secured one Indictment for violating
the plain provisions of the interstate
law.
All the evidence by which it is ex-
pected to prove Mr.. Fell's guilt is docu-
mentary, and thus will be avoided the
danger of summoning Witnesses who
will at the last moment refuse to tes-
tify.
There is great rejoicing among'freight
agents over the news that Mr.. Fell had
been indicted. Complaint after COM
plant has been filed with Interstate
Agent Keischmar and District-Attorney
Milchrist that Fell had been creating
havoc in freight rates and that the city
was suffering sufficiently to cause a
break in rates

A ATadly Rushing Torrent of Mud.

OMAHA, Neb., May 1s. The Missouri
river is rapidly rising and a torrent of
mud is madly rushing down towards
its mouth. At east Omaha it is cutting
away the banks in acre slices, and it is
feared that the stream will seek its old
channel along the Nebraska bluffs. If
1T should, great damage would be done.
The owners of east Omaha believe,
however, that the riprap will protect
their city, which has been built in the
last two years.

LONDON, May 14.-The Times made
an application yesterday before judge
in chancery for an ad interim injunc-
ton to restrain the ST. James Gazette,
the tory evening newspaper, from trans
ferring to its columns articles published
in the Times. The complaint is made
specially on the reduction of contribu-
tions of Rudyard Kipling, which the
st. James Gazette had conveyed to its
columns almost bodily. The Times
argued that this appropriation of its
article diminished its circulation. The
st. James Gazette pleaded that custom
justified the course taken.
