NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Bradstreet's
agency says;
Except for few southern cities, as reported
last week, wholesale merchants throughout
the country report no noticeable change in trade
features and few, II any, indications Of improve
ment In the near future. Mercantile cOllec-
tions continue slow and moderate. Some job
bers ut Chicago, St. Louis Baltimore ind other
large cities report increased demand for dry
goods, hats, shoes, hardware and gro
ceries for spring delivery but that in
other lines Of business is very dull.
Dealers in staples OF cities in
Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Tennessee and
South Carolina report better demand for
hardware and agricultural supplies, compared
with last week. Some Baltimore statesmen are
securing relatively fair orders. There has been
no revival in textile circles, except increased
purchases Of wool at Boston by some Of the
larger manufacturers. Cotton goods continue
depressed at first hands with little prospect for
improvement until after production has been
restricted
Prices this week show advances for leather,
pork, lard, petroleum and cotton, while de-
creases are reported in prices in hides, wheat
corn, coffee, pig iron and steel billets No
change is reported in quotations for coal lum-
Der, flour, oats sugar print cloths and wool
Iron and steel have not met with the increased
demand expected, while sugar and coffee prices

LAND GRANTS.


Secretary Francis Makesa statement About
Union Pacific Kansas Lands.
WASHINGTON, Jan, 10. = Secretary
Francis yesterday sent to the house in
reply To q resolution communication
relating to the homestead entries on
certain Union Pacific land grants in
Kansas. Replying to that portion OF
the resolution asking 1.-THE authority
under which the land officers at To
peka pretended to act in permitting
entries To be made upon lands embraced
within the grant," he says the
land officers had no authority to
permit these entries and that the Off
GERS were called to account and direct
ed to allow no entries on these lands.
In reply to that part Of the resolution
asking for the cause Of the omission to
Issue patents to lands within the linn
its Of the Union Pacific railway the
secretary says he has taken the posi-
ton that as the railway company
Is In default to the government
on the payment Of Indebtedness, 1T is
his duty to withhold from patent what
ever portion OF lands there were in the
hands Of the government at the time
Of the default. The object of the
ruling Is not to interfere with
the rights Of settlers, he says, but
to protect the interests of the govern
ment Lands sold by the railroad COM
panies to bona fde purchasers are pat
ented to them, and in the last two
years lands aggregating s,OOo,O73 acres
In Kansas, Colorado, Utah and Wyo-
ming have been patented.
