WEEKS REVIEW OF TRADE.
Continued Activity and Fairly Steady
Prices.


Bradstreet's weekly review of trade
says: Continued activity in various
industrial lines, based on an expanding
consumptive demand, fairly steady
prices for staples, further improvement
in railroad earnings and widespread
confidence that the volume of business
will expand materially in the near fu-
ture, constitute the trade features of the
week. Jobbers ut Chicago and st.
Louis do not find the activity
expected Mt this time, but re-
port fairly steady request by
mai! order and visiting buyers.
"Bank .clearings, as n trade barome-
ter, point to a temporary check to the
the year, the weeks total, 1926, 600, 600,
being per cent. less than last week
and per cent. less than the second
week of March, 1896. February gross
railroad earnings tend to improve, al
though comparisons with that month
In 1896 still favor last year. Total
earnings of 116 railroads for February,
this year, aggregated S34. 1855, 9Ol, a de-
crease OF no of l per cent. from the
total of February, 1896. This is o bet
ter showing than that in January or in
any month since September. The
coalers, trunk lines and the South
western roads all show gains in Febru-
ary over year ago"
X. G. Dun and Co. in their week s
review say: ''The money markets con-
tinue especially favorable to industrial
recovery, and there is no such specula-
sive share of available capital Cotton
is not active, though sixteenth higher,
for the curtailment of consumption by
many mills does not yet help prices in
the least; nor the suspension of print
cloth reports, and dealers so generally
hold back orders for other goods that
the tone is weak.
Iron furnaces, March 1, were pro-
ducing lG9, $50 tons weekly, 1927 tons,
or per cent. more than Feb. /. and
although visible stocks have increased
8O,024, the increase in four weeks, still
more furnaces have started this month
The demand for finished products still
lags behind the supply of pig iron, ex-
cept III the great steel works whose
stocks are not reported, but their orders
without doubt cover the full production
for several months. BesSemer pig is a
shade lower, but no other changein quo
tations appear, and there is gradual in
crease in the demand for plates, sheets
and all the wire family of products
With the advent of spring without, and
outdoor work, much more business is
expected. The starting of the Mary
land Rail Works under contract with
The Carnegie Company, in order to
make shipments by water more cheapH
is significant. The volume of business
shown by clearings is but 1 8 per cent
smaller than last year.
1.-The failures for the past week have
been 25G in the United States, against
300 last year, and 81 III Canada, against
80 last year.

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
Both Houses of the National Assembly
Have Adjourned.
SENATE

MONDAY. Most of the new Senators
were on the floor when ice-President
Hobart called the Senate to order at
noon. Senator Davis, chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee offered
resolution referring back to that COM
mittee the treaty of arbitration. The
resolution was adopted. While in Ex-
ecutive session the Senate confirmed
the nomination of Mr.. James. All
parties in the Senate devoted consider
able time to the solution of the prob
lem of filling the Senate committees.
TUESDAY. For q little more than two
hours this afternoon the Democrats of
the Senate endeavored to reach some
conclusion upon the question of or
ganizing the Senate. Like the Repub-
llcan caucus of Saturday, it was fruit
less in results. The effort to take the
organization from the Republicans was
antagonized by some leading Democrats
for various reasons. The result of lhe
two-hours' session, therefore, was con-
centrated in the appointment of COM
mlttee of conference. The belief on the
part of the leading Republican Senators
IL that the silver Democrats cannot
count on the vote of gold Democrats in
any plan that contemplates the organi-
zation of the committees by the silver
vote OF the Senate.
WEDNESDAY-Iherew was an unusually
large attendance of Senators at the
opening session. Ex-senator Ransom,
OF North Carolina, how minister to
Mexico, was on the floor and was cor
daily greeted by his old associates.
The Vice-President laid before the
Senate n communication from Governor
Bradley, of Kentucky, setting forth
that he had appointed Andrew II.
Wood, of Montgomery county, ky., as
Senator from that State The COM
munication was referred to the commit
tee on privileges and elections.
Mr.. Hoar gave notice of two amend
ments to the rules, which were read.
They We're both radical innovations
upon the practice of the Senate for n
| century past. The first was "to enable
the Senate to act on legislation when it
desires, after reasonable debate" 1t
provides that when any bill or resolu-
tlon has been under consideration moro
than one day any Senator could demand
the debate closed. If majority of the
Senators SO decided, there should be
vote without further delay. The other
was in relation to calls of the Senate, so
that If n suggestion be made of the alb
sence of quorum, the presiding Off
Ger. instead of instantly ordering q call
to be made, shall determine the matter
and report whether there is or not
After some executive business and
discussion the Senate adjourned sine
die.

industrial enterprise reported during
the past week. In all parts of the
South, and in all lines of industry, as
well as in railroad construction, the in
dications for increased business seem tc
be more promising than for many
months. There is no great rush, but
a steady, gradual Improvement that in

THE WORST ON RECORD.
Later Reports from the Storm-Swept
States.

Later Reports from the Storm-Swept
States.
The storm which ragged throughout
the Middle West Thursday night is un-
paralleled, not only for. the extent of
territory over which it ragged, but for
the amount of water precipitated.
AT Cincinnati the rainfall reported by
weather bureau officials amounted to
5.3S inches, and floods are reported
from almost every telegraph station
from Pittsburg on the east to Kansas
City on the west, and from the lakes to
the northern boundary of Tennessee.
In some instances the wind reached
the velocioy of Il hurricane, and much
damage to dwelling, barns, fences,
orchards and forests has been reported
from various points throughout the dis
trict.
Throughout southern Illinois, In
dlana and Ohio the damage to railroad
property in the form of washouts, max
ing traffic Impossible, and in wrecks
caused by roftening of roadbeds is i'm
mense.
A not inconsiderable loss to the peo-
pie, as whole, will be caused by tho
washing away of bridges and roadways,
which have been built in the rural dis
tricts at q cost of millions of dollars,
and which in too many cases have been
totally destroyed.
Owing to the decentralization of rail-
way traffic the mails local to the del
uged district have been greatly de-
iayed, while the through service over
the trunk lines, East and West and
North and South, has been badly Grip
pied, greatly to the annoyance of the
vast business interests involved.
The estimates are that considerably
over 81, 600, 900 worth of property has
been lost in the vicinities of Cincin-
natl. Dayton, indianapolis and St
Louis.
