For First Time in Many Months Bradstreets
Finds Good News to Report-Demand
Is increasing in All Lines and Radical
Improvement Certain.
New York, January 22.-Bradstreets
tomorrow will say: The most encourag-
ing feature of trade the situation this
week is the increased demand from
Manufacturers for wool. The decision of
the print cloth manufacturers to curtail
the output will result with emphasis in
the sales of heavy surplus stocks and
promises a better market. 10 these may
bs added the increase in the volume OF
domestic bank clearings and general
steadiness Of prices, the healthfulness OF
general trade in almost all departments; ;
conservatism In granting credits and the
preference by retailers and Others to buy
oftener, in small quantities continue to
make the course of business as not before
for years. Demand is increasing in al
most all lines, with a few exceptions. al
though very slowly. Radical improve
ment in the near future based on the
slow but healthful increase in con-
sumptive demand, is in the absence vi
unforeseen obstacles, almost certain.
Commercial travellers are reported very
generally out ON the road, the volume OF
business continues small and collections
in many instances are unsatisfactory.
The more active demand is for shoes.
hats, groceries, hard Ware, dry goods ana
drugs.
At such centres as Chicago and St.
Louis at the west. and Philadelphia,
Baltimore. New York and Boston, at
the east. business continues along very
conservative lines Memphis, Nashville
and Galveston continue exceptionally
favorable reports as to the demand for
staples, and the Pacific coast ports an
nounce unusually heavy orders for mer-
chandize from Alaska and an Improving
trade with China and Japan.

INSANE OF KANSAS.
According to Topeka Paper, Mental Dis
eases Are Increasing.

According to Topeka Paper, Mental Dis
eases Are Increasing.
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 15.-The Topeka
Mail has discovered, from official
statistics, that insanity in Kansas is
increasing. It says: ''June 80, 1890,
there were 723 insane people in the
Topeka asylum and 504 in the Osa-
watomie asylum, making a total of l.
227 insane people in the state. In 1892
the number had increased to
749 in Topeka and SO at Osa-
watomie, making ,259. In 1894 the num-
Der had reached 753 in Topeka and 657
at Osawatomie, making a total Of 1, 40.
In 1896 the number had increased to
1,736. These figures do not cover all
the insane of the state, for there are in
every county a number of insane PEG
pie who cannot get into the regular
asylum for lack of room. The
population of Kansas has de,
creased since $780, The United States
census showed the population of the
state to be 1,423, 4S5 in 1890. The
decennia1 census of the state in 1895
showed that the population was 1884,
734 on March 1 of that year, and the
probability is it is even less now. With
decrease in population since 1890 OF
perhaps 100000, or about one-four
teenth, we have an increase of over SOC
insane, or over Al per cent.

SOME CHANGES LIKELY.

McKinley's Cabinet Not Yet ID efinitely De

CANTON, o., Feb. 15.-There are indf
cations that there may be several
changes in the cabinet slate in the
next few days. The president-elect
updou btedly has determined to recog
niZe the claims of the southern repub
icans, the only question being the
manner in which this will be done.
thread Of objection has been
quietly strung across the path
of Judge McKenna for the in
terror department on account of
his Catholicism. The objection does
not stand as against his entering the
cabinet, but simply on account of the
influence the secretary of the interior
has in the matter of the supervision
and distribution of funds to Indian
schools
