TRADE HAS DECREASED.
More Favorable Weather Gives Improve
Prospects for Crops.


Dun & Co. g Weekly Review of Trade
will say: Floods have abated, and
with them much of the estimated losses,
and in river bottoms farmers are busy
planting as fast as waters recede. Bet
ter weather in most quarters gives de-
cided improvement in crop prospects,
but 1t is still true that wet weather
in other localities retards trade
and the backward season generally rem
ders distribution somewhat disappoint-
ing. Yet the aggregate volume of trade,
in spite of all obstacles, is greater than
a year ago-about per cent. measured
by clearings outside New York and 3 per
cent. measured by railway earnings on
all roads reported. Labor difficulties ih
building trades are passing away, but
there is prospect of serious contest
in iron manufacturing between West
ern employers and workers. Other in
dustries are satisfactorily active and
confidence in the future is general"

The Beats That Can Go.

SAN Francisco, GALA, March IL
The same activity that prevailed at
Mare Island Navy Yard during the dis
cussiou of the Chilean affairs has again
been revived by the reason OF the Ber-
ing Sea controversy aud every indlca-
tion points strongly to the fact that the
United States proposes 10 send imme-
diately north oil the available naval
vessels on the Pacific coast station.
Pending the final settlement OF the
Chilean question. the Government had
pushed work with dispatch on all the
vessels at the yard and the steam engi-
neering department had been worked
night and day. The same state OF az
fairs exists at this time. The machin-
lists are doing double time on the Ran
ger, the Albatross TO 20 as soon as the
orders are received.
This afternoon the Charleston left
the yard. She will remain FOR a few
days or until such time as orders
for her To take her departure are sent
by the Navy Department There Is q
possibility that she will leave for San
Diego and await the pleasure OF the au.
thorities at Washington. Captain
Picket, who relieved George c. Romey,
has arrived and taken command.
Not only can the Ranger, Charleston,
Albatross and the Rush be dispatched
TO the Berlng Sea on short notice, but
the Baltimore could also be dispatched
should her services be needed. The
revenue cutter Corwin has taken her de-
parture and the Bear Will follow next
mouth.
