r. G. Dun 4 Co.'s review OF trade at
the close Of last week says: Progress
towards better business continues, but
it is slow and meets many obstacles. ln
speculative aspects and in wholesale de-
mand for goods, the week shows improve
ment. Many markets are un~disturbed
and a little more active. But among
the chief obstacles is the anxiety Ut oper-
atives to secure better wages, even while
many manufacture works are running
without profit and others at the risk OF
loss. In a number Of establishments
better wages have been conceded, thus
increasing the purchasing power OF the
people, but the strikes have largely over
balanced settlements, several Of import
ance having thrown about 1900 work
ers out OF employment this week. Re-
tail trade has improved on the whole
since March, as the approach On Easter
brings more business, but distribution
to individual, consumers still lags behind
purchases OF jobbers and such demands
for products as springs from building
and other investments looking into the
future. Crop prospects will greatly
affect the cours of trade for some
months and the government report had
little influence to discourage. For con
sumers the worst feature is the rapid
advance in meats.

NEW YORK, April 15.-Referring to

tax. Senator Hill says: Il have venti-
lated my views concerning the tax
pretty thoroughly. | was gratitied with
the finding Of the court AS far as it
went. but l believe that the whole tax,
instead of part, should be declared un-
constitutional. The is manifestly a
direct tax, and AS such is unconstitu-
tional. The tax is not a Democratic
measure from any point Of view. 1t is
more of a Populistic law than anything
else. 1t seems to be a compromise measure
to secure votes of al element in the
country antagonistic to all existing
conditions. The finding Of the court
will directly knock out just the part Of
the law that these people were urging,
and will prove Of mo- benefit, to New
York state, perhaps. than any other
state in the union. In New York nearly
all the municipal and state bonds are
held, and in this city also are the big
landed estates. The main features of
the law are therefore wiped out and the
party gets nothing for it's pains"

SAN FRANCISCO. April :5.-Local
Democrats do not look upon the retire.
ment of Justice Stephen J. Field as
likely to take place soon. The pressure
that is being brought to bear to induce
him to retire, they say. may be true,
but when it would be as IA punishment
for doing what he considered his duty,
they think he will hardly yield. Some
.ime ago Field made known his inten-
ton Of retiring. He changed his mind,
but That circumstance gave credit to the
rumor that he was about to yield to
the demands of his enemies and carry
out his first decision.
Judge Field will not retire. was
what Governor Budd had to say about
the matter 'Who would probably sue
coed him if he should withdraw from
his position? Well, l tell you l don't
think he'll withdraw, but if he should
