Week Of Very Fair Trade, and Steady
Prices the Eeature.

While it might be an exaggeration to say
that the trade of the week ending Feb. 10
was highly satisfactory or really up to ex-
pectations, it is true that it was consider
ably in excess of that of the corresponding
period last year, and would be largely in
excess were the country roads in a fairly
passable condition. The fact is, business de-
ponds largely on the trade that can be Sc
cured at towns and cities directly the
railroads, and where pike roads have been
constructed which reach railways. Prices
rule very firm and steady in most lines.
Staple groceries are in very strong position.
Canned goods and dried fruit are moving
more freely. ConfectionerS report their trade
very satisfactory. Iron, hardware, timers
supplies all firm at quotations. with a
hardening tendency. The leather market is
sctive at firm prices. The hide market is
easier but not quotably lower. Poultry is
weak and eggs are firm at the quotations.

Never Deceive Reporters.

In his address to the New Orleans Press
Club, Cardinal Gibbons said: IF had ore
piece of advice to give public man more
than another it is, be frank with the re-
porter. It has been my privilege and pleas
ure to come in contact with and to know
a great number of reporters. 1 have stead
lastly adopted a policy of absolute frank
ness with them, and | have yet to have a
confidence betrayed. They have never
proved themselves unworthy of the esti-
mate I placed on them as gentlemen.
.sIt is the public man who conceals whose
every act of concealment is perceived by
the reporters-for, in the nature of their
is this very concealment which induces the
reporter to further conduct his investiga-
TONS and often to get wrong what, had he
been In the confidence of the man whose
manner had provoked investigation, he
would have understood and written intelli-
gently about. And it is In this very man
ner that much of the complaint against the
reporters originates. Tell the reporters the
absolute truth. Never deceive them"
