TRADE HAS IMPROVED,
Says Bradstreet's, Indicated by In
creased Railway Earnings.

New York, Feb. 20.-Bra dstreet's says:
General trade shows improvement, fea-
lures of which are the advances for
BeSSemer pig iron, steel billetS, steel
rails, some grades of wool, raw sugar,
Indian corn, pork and lard, and for print
cloths with an upward tendency for
leather, together with a number of met
al, and textile industrial Establishments
Which have reopened within the week
and an Improvement in recent railway
earnings. Among the more important
staples for which prices have decreas ed
are: Wheat, flour, oats, coffee, cotton
rosin and turpentine. The unexpected
weakness in wheat and wheat flour pri-
ceS forms the best evidence of the lack
of confidence by the trade and general
public in official reports of the size of
the domestic wheat crop last year.
Total business failures throughout the
country have increased numbering 325
this week, compared with 301 last week,
2l6 in the third week of February 1896;
327 in the like week of 1895; 235 in the
corresponding period in 1894, and 202 in
the like week of 1898.
There were 1872 suspensions and fail
ures of banks. bankers and loan trust
companies in the United States, as re-
ported to BradstreetS last year, COM
pared with 1913 in 1895, only 80 in 1894
and cOntrasted with 59S in the panic
year 1898, when the total of estimated
liza bilities, amounting to more than $780,
100000 was less than total assests.

WAR ON BIG STORES.
Small Chicago Merchants Move on
Department" Competitors.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-West side business
men, particularly those along South West
ern avenue, are banding together not only
to fight the encroa chment but the contin-
uance of department stores PreIimi-
nary meetings have already been held and
an organization will be effected tonight at
a meeting to be held at No. $50 South
Western avenue. At this meeting dele
gates will be selected to attend con-
vention of all anti-department store as
sociatiOns, which it is proposed to hold at
the Sherman House tomorrow afternoon
at o'clock.
L. H. Harding, a hardware dealer No.
429 South Western avenue, is of the
leaders in the movement. but he is not
more deeply interested than a large num-
Der of West Side merchants who are CO.
operating with him in the adjustment of
what they consider great evil.
Mr.. Harding said yesterday:
Department stores are slowly but
steadily driving us out of business, and
something must be done to abate the
growing evil. No merchant in any line is
doing anywhere near the business he
transacted prior to the establishment of
these stores. Making all allowance for
trade depression, there is still a big scar
city of customers that we can trace di-
rectly to the department torres. Seven
ty-eight classes of goods are handled by
the department stores and think a prop
er agitation of the question will bring an
dealers in these lines to our side in the
fight
