AS BRADSTREET REPORTS IT.
Situation Has All Favorable Feut-
ures OF some Time Past.

New York, March 20 Bradstreet's
says:
Tho aggregate volume of the country 5
business continues sufficiently large to al
low of favorable comparisons with past
periods alike in this and preceding years.
Aside from a quoting demand at few
leading eastern markets where uncer-
tainty as to the outcome Of foreign ccm-
mlications is advanced as Ieason for I'M
Willingness TO embark in new business,
the situation is one possessing nearly all
of the favorable features noted for some
time past. The best reports as to distri-
button in leading lines come from the CEN
ter west and the northwest. Favorable
weather has improved the distribution oil
dry goods, clothing, millinery, building
materials, agricultural implements ans
nearly all other products forming staple
articles for consumption among the pros
porous farming community.
The movement of iron and steel is spc
cially large, but without effect on prices
which are generally firmly held. Some
slight advances in pig iron, in fact, hay,
been feature of the week at some mar
kets. Southern iron manufacturers an,
active, and fruit and vegetable shipment
promise alike to be early and heavy. Dis
tributive trade is reported increasing al
the northwest, navigation is practically
open on the lakes, and the first OF Apri
will witness a general movement cf craft
Other favorable features of the country
general trade situation aIc summed up il
liberal shipments of leading cereals, uh
precedcnted totals of exports at New
DIRK, fewer business failures and slight,
larger bank cleannces.
Wheat exports are smaller than las
week, but considerably larger than in cor
responding periods of preceding years, az
gregating 3,625,5S4 bushels, against 4 ,494
600 bushels last week, l,629 900 bushel
last year, l,592,O00 bushels in 1896 an,

be. il is fairly certain that during the
reign of Charles ii. James Mckinley,
son of another James Mckinley. and

The existing structure was built In
1868. as one can see from the old stone
seat hitherto alluded 10 as standing by
the Dervock door. This old stone was
formerly the hearth stone of the farm
house. but former tenant. hnding that
his floor had sunk below the level OF
the stone. removed it. and had it set

In American Alaska.
According to the statement of L. Den

the other day from Cooks inlet, Alaska,
rich placer field has been discovered on
Kenia peninsula. The discovery was made
in January by A. r. McConnaughty. The
surface dirt panned SO TO $40 20 the pan.
The find is 1000 feet above sea level, and
for that reason the creek had never been
prospccted before. Mr.. Denham reports
that the mines of Cooks inlet are turning
out very well. The winter has been an eX-
ceptionally mild one.
sheep Creek Claim Sold.
Otto johnson reports that he has sold
the Sadie claim, on Sheep creek, to a Brit
ish syndicate for $4,000, according to a
report received at Rossland. Work on the
property, according to the terms of sale
is TO commence within two weeks and a
force of not less than six men must he en-
ployed. The sum of $4,000 is to be paid
on May ?. and the remainder within a
year. The Sadie is one of the first loca-
tions made on Sheep creek, having been
recorded nearly three years since. Mr.
Johnson has done considerable work on
the property. The lead, which runs clear
across the claim, is % feet wide.

SAVING CONDUCTORS TROUBLE
Automatic street Nnme Announcer
For Surface and IL" Cars.


Harlemites. Brooklynites and even Jer
seyites will, no doubt welcome the intro
duction on passenger cars of an ingenious
mechanism that automatically records the
name OF each street station as fast as IL
is approached. says the New York Jour
nal. This is the idea of Richard lie
BrOcq, a young engineer.
The indicator consists of box, one
placed in each end Of The car. Each box
contains a series of rollers over which
the sheet OF paper runs on which the
names of the streets are inscribed. Ahix-
ed to these rollers is Il system OF clock
work, operated by an electric connect ton
with the cable. Therefore. as fast as the
car approac hes a street the roller reels
off the name in full view of the passen
gers. The ciockwork system is SO rcgu.
lated that the names Of the streets APP
pear with regularity and in their proper
order
The value Of this system Of automatic
street announcement will appeal power
fuzzy to New Workers. for Il viii be a
most satisfactory substitute for the con-
ductor's voice. II Mr.. Sage will only in
troduce the system on the IL" We shall
all be thankful. If there's anything in

which has now become place of more
