turn over from last year,-and declared
for license.
Milford went solidly Republican for
the first time in thirty years. Other
towns in this vicinity show an increased
Republican vote. Stratford today gave

August, 1894 when the receipts from Inter-
nal revenue assumed abnormal proportions
because of ..the large Withdrawals of whis-

based, it was to produce from sugar, $43,-
0O0,0O0 year, from the income tax placed
at minimum fure, $15, ,000, 900 a year.
No revenue from either of these sources
is shown in the receipts for September, as
the income tax does not become operative
until January l. Three or four months
supply of sugar WAS imported prior to the
new law, in anticipation of the ad valorem
tax placed upon it. Upon the basis of esti-
mates upon which the tariff bi1lswas framed
the revenue from the two principal sources
of customs and internal revenue are put at
$179 ,C00, 600 a year each. For three months of

BRADsTREET's REVIEW OF TRADE.

Good Weather Has Given an Impetus to
Certain Lines of Trade.
NEW YORK, March 16.-Bradstreet's re-
view of the state of trade tomorrow will
say: The unusual prolongation of mild,
spring-like weather during the early portion
OF March has greatly stimulated consump-
tive demand in almost all staple lines. Cor
roboration of this is found in almost unani-
nous reports of increased sales from six of
the larger distributing points in the New
England and middle states, where general
trade has heretofore been reported barely
steady. AT Pittsburg and Chicago and other
iron centers competition has further reduced
prices for shaped, as well as raw iron and
steel. Chicago reports a continuance Of last
weeks very favorable statement regarding
trade, this week having been the best thus
far in the season, with many buyers in the city
and come dry goods houses working nights to
keep up with orders. Dealers in clothing,
millinery and such report a heavier demand,
although there is an improvement in request
for light hardware as well. Similar advlces
are received from st. Louis iobbers of dry
goods, millinary, hats and shoes, and at Kan
sas City, although sales of paints, oils and
building materials are quite active, the total
is 20 per cent smaller than a year ago.
London wool sales are to close today, and
takings for the United States are consider
'Na'NAa wi "iioic-
