In BUSINESS WORLD
Reports of the Condition Of Trade for
the Past Week.
AN INCREASE IN FAILURES
The Steel Combine VIII Have Its
Influence on the Markets
what Dun and Bradstreets'
Say About II.

New York.. April ar. C. Dun's Re-
view Of Trade tomorrow will say: The
regular quarterly statement of failures
shows 4.031, with liabilities of $5T 425. 135,
against 3.s02 last year, with liabilities
of SAT. 1924 ,0S1, and 1904 in the same
quarter of 1894 with liabilities OF s64.-
1888. The improvement expected
with spring weather begins, though in
some branches of business is scarcely
visible. AS consumers make spring
purchases they must loosen stocks and
compel buying. The stocks taken in ad-
vance of last summers demands have
been distributed far more slowly than
was expected, but months of waiting
have helped to lessen the load which, Il
is hoped, spring buying will clear
away. The backward seasons have
a hindrance as has also been the num-
Der of hands employed in important in
dustries and the low prices of farm
products. Apprehension of foreign
financial difficulties have hindered, but
are now scarcely felt. Gold exports
are rumored but at this season are so
far natural.
The gigantic steel combination is ex-
pected to have a great influence in sus-
tanning markets and stimulating con-
ffdence and though such operations
often miss the success they seek. they

per ton In billets a week ago has raised
Bessemer pig 81 at Pittsburg and the
demand for structural forms increase

sociations have given notice in adj
vance OF Is cents at the end Of this
month. Bars have been greatly de-
moralized, but some makers now hope
TO reestabliSh the combination, as steel
bars will become deaner. General de-
mand for finished products does not yet
improve. Orders for lake copper are
solicited at 10ihc. and lead is weaker at
$3.1O, but a single buyer lifted tin to
Sl3.55. The wooden manufacturer does
not gain in orders and a large part of
the machinery is stopped. Prices Of
wool have fallen ia per cent. the ave-
rage of 10i quotations being 1890.
Sales in March were smaller than in
any other month since 1894 and for the
quarter were only 75,147.5 $50 pounds. OF
which 30.9l6.200 was foreign, against
6s,Osl.3l5 last year, of which 26. 25S. $50
was foreign.
Cotton mills still pile goods in adj
vance of orders as reductions in prices
have failed as yet to stimulate buying.

Birds that employ hair In the build
ing of their nests sometimes come to
grief by hanging. but should say very
seldom indeed in the following singular
manner:
A gentleman who had a number OF
colts upon his farm one day noticed a
small bird entangled in the long hair of
the tail of one of them. The little
creature had evidently been in search
OF material wherewith to line its nest
and by some unaccountable accident
had become entangled in the unkempt
hair of the colts tail. Cases of birds
getting their feet entangled in bits of
yarn or string are not at all uncom-
mon, especially in the breeding season.
and whenever the victim of this kind of
mishap happens to get the impediment
fastened in a tree or among stones,
death is pretty sure to be the result,
unless prompt human aid is forthcom-
ing. In the spring of the year as
everybody knows, the dead leaves of
pampas grass fall to the ground and
curl up like the shavings from a car

New York, April 3.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow VIII say: Stormy weather at
the Northwest, continued restriction Of
distribution Of staple merchandise and
unsatisfactory mercantile collections
continued to be the leading character
istic of the general trade. The con-
spicuous change is in the steel and iron
markets. The forming of a pool OF
manufacturers to regulate production
and maintain prices resulted in an adj
vance OF $3 per ton in quotations for
steel billets and $1.25 per ton for Besse-
mer pig iron. A corresponding stimulus
is given quotations for other forms of
iron and steel Whereas, leading metal
markets were dull and depressed n
week ago, activity is now reported with
a prospect of further advances. This
must naturally tend to stimulate kim
dred Industries. Additional favorable
features are reports that at Baltimore,
the quarters general trade has been
the best for years; that there has been
a slight increase i'm the volume OF bust
ness at Pittsburg and more demand
for dress wooolens at autumn delivery
has been sufficient to stimulate manu-
facturers to buy material more freely.

zen of Danville, Ind, was opened the
other day, and in distributing the house
hold goods there was found large box
containing nearly 5000 old fashioned,
handmade cigars, the history of which
is as follows: Mr.. Bonifield formerly
lived in Kentucky as farmer, and his
wife, as a means Of assisting i'll making
the living, began manufacturing cigars,
the tobacco for which they raised them
selves, and she succeeded i'll making a
success of the undertaking.
This was before the war and before
any revenue tax was put on tobacco,
and when that went into effect her stock
in trade amounted to the cigars just
found, and never having taken out q
license they were kept in a tightly
closed box, and when the family came
to Indiana the cigars were brought
along. Mrs. Bonifield died some foul
years ago and always took delight il

tributed them to the smokers of tn

An English writer, the author Of "a

a sudden change came over him. Some
