situation. The trade situation west and
northwest is one of unimpaired strength
although milder weather checks dlstrlbu-
ton of winter wear goods. Notable a.
mong favorable features is the improv-
ed inquiry at higher prices for several
kinds of steel, especially billets and
wire and nails.
The approach of the holiday season
has induced freer realizing on cotton
by planters and others at the South,
and increased activity is noticeable in
retail lines and among jobbers in sea-
sonable goods. Collections are slight
ly better in consequence, although the
low price of the staple is discouraging
feature. Aside from price depression in
it's chief products. the southern bust
ness presents many encouraging feat
ures, notable among these being the
active demand and firm or higher prices

co. Export trade on the Pacific is very
heavy, and shipments of wheat, cotton
and lumber are of large volume. Pre-
parations for an immense Alaskan out
fitting demand are being actively push

BRADsTREETs REVIEW.

+ New York, Dec. 17.-Bradstreet's, to-
morrow will say:
A sensible quieting of demand In
wholesale lines is reported as the holi-
day season and the annual stock taking
period approach. Chief among the fa-
vorable features of the week has been
enlarged inquiry at higher prices for
steel in various forms.
A correspOndingly heavy business has
developed in pig iron and prices show
but q slight shading in face of the cur
rent immense production. The wheat
market has been less feyerish and prices
are practically unchanged from week
ago, while corn, oats and sugar are adj
0ltions TO the list of products showing
advances. The unsatisfactory Outlool;
for cotton goods is reflected in reductions
in bleached goods to the lowest point
ever reached, while some cotton yarns
show weakness. Anthracite coal is weak
alth01gh production has been curtailed
and talk Of further restriction is heard
With these exceptions, the price situa-
ton is one Of quite exceptional steadi-
ness.
Ae the east. trade in wholesale lines
is quiet, but retail trade has been slim
uIated sufficiently to allow of fair re-
cord, business in seasonable lines. Man
ufacturers of WOODEN cloths are running
on small margins and look to change

SAYS 1T Is A MENACE.
Mr.. Feits Complains OF a ID, l.. and
W.pOwder House.

Isaac b. Felts instituted another suit
against the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company yesterday. This
time 1t is an action in equity to COM
pei the removal of powder magazine
outside of the limits of Taylor bor-
ough
In his complaint, Mr. Felts says that
the powder house is within two hun
dred feet of his dwelling and that IL
has a capacity of five tons. Within
radius of five hundred feet there are
twenty dwellings and within a radius
of eleven hundred feet there are one
hundred and four families residing
The houses are all located on a side
hill facing the magazine and the high
est house is only sixty feet above the
level of the complained Of nuisance.
The main road, he also asserts, is only
thirty feet from the magazine.
Last July, he goes on to relate, the
powder house at the Empire mine of
the Lehigh and Wilkes Barre Coal
company, in which only five kegs of
powder and five cases of dynamite
were stored, exploded, by reason of
being struck by a. thunderbolt, and
houses for a distance of two thousand
feet were badly damaged. One man
was hillSu anu IldIy lHOIe NOulu III all
likelihood have been killed or injured
but for the fact that there were few
people about that night on account of
the storm.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western companys powder house is
of brick and stone and at all times
contains a large amount of explosives.
In case of an explosiin it could be ex-
pected to do much more damage then
resulted from the Wilkes-Barre ex-
plosion. where the magazine was con-
structed of wood and where only a
comparatively small amount of powder
was stored at the time, the mine being
| idle.
Mr.. Felts declares that he has laid
| all these matters before the company,
and though importuned to abate the
nuisance it neglects to do so. He asks
that an injunction be issued to compel
| the company to accede to his request.
He is represented by Attorneys A.
Ricketts,, r, Merriield and John f.
| Scragg.
