WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
THE WE4THER CONDITION IN
CREASE RETAIL DISTRIB UTION.
A Pleasing Feature Noted is the Alb
Noted for Many Years Past About

New York, April 2S-Bradstreets of
tomorrow will say, favorable weather
conditions find reflection IN reports of
good retail distribution Of spring and
summer goods and in fair filling-in or
ders from jobbers. Industrial activity
continues specially marked, pleasing
feature this week being the practical
absence of the unrest, particularly in
the building trades, noted for many
years past about May |. While favor
ing retailers the springlike weather
conditions, however have been the re-
verse of stimula ting as regards wheat
and cotton. In these and in holding
products the tendency Of values has
been toward a lower range.
Cotton has weakened on better re-
margin of profit on manufactured goods
has, therefore, temporarily widened.
Rather more is doing on export ac-
count, and bleached goods are specially
firm. The regular print cloth market
Is steady and unchanged, but there is
talk of concessions on outside makes
New demand has been notably quiet in
iron and steel this week, the most not
able feature being large sales of south
ern gray forge iron at Pittsburg. Prices
exhibit all their old strength, and here
the margin of profit on finished prod
ucts is undoubtedly very good
The strength of the lumber market
shows little impairment Rather more
business is doing by retailers and all
the advances are paid in the first three
months are firmly held. Wool as
whole is quiet and steady, but a rela-
lively higher range of values abroad
is indicated by continued good sales of
Australian bonded wool to be re-exportr
ed Copper Is notable among the prod
ucts advancing this week, aided chiefly
by talk of the great consolidation Of
copper producing companies announced
toward the close of the week. A fair
trade is doing in boots and shoes and
the slight advances announced earlier
are well maintained. Leather is firmly
held, products by the small stocks of
hides available.
Partially compromising for the falling
off in exports of natural products, par
ticularly cereals, is the immense expan-
sion in exports Of manufactured goods,
Shipments of such goods in March ag
over $685. 900, 0OO or So per cent.
Of all our exports, a proportion rarely,
If ever, approached before.

The Stock Market.

| New York, April 28.-Irregularity per-
vaded to-day's dealings on the stock ex-
| change and the temper of the market
was extremely professional, resulting in
| irregular net changes with losses pre-
dominating. London traded both ways
and commission business was on very
restricted scale. Traders We're disposed
to let stocks go in anticipation Of an
unfavorable bank statement tomorrow
and one of the large operators changed
tactics and took the bear side. Fore
casts of the bank statement are unrelia-
BILE, but bank reports for the week
seemed to indicate a loss in cash on all
accounts of nearly $3,5OO,O 0O Anaconda
mining fluctuated widely, ending with
net gain of nearly points on the an
nouncement of the copper combinations
Silver certificates sold at 60 at one time,
the highest price recorded in long
time. The passage of the franchise tax
bill by the legislature was responsible
for weakness in most of the local
stocks there being declines of five
points in Brooklyn Union Gas, 3 Ia in
Metropolitan, nearly as much in Console
dated Gas and sharp break in Man
haitian, although it left off only l 5-S
down. Third Avenue on the contrary
rose 3 points. Another reason for weak
ness in Manhattan was the adverse re-
port of the board of health on it's Ninth
avenue structure. The announcement
of a settlement of a litigation held
Brooklyn Transit up in spite of the
weakness in similar shares generally and
the stock gained over point. Except
ing Colorado Fuel and Iron, improve
ment was noted in the iron and steel
properties. Other strong stocks were
New Jersey Central, Iowa Central and
Northern Pacific. The general railway
list was inclined to droop on moderate
dealings The market closed heavy
To-day's bond market lacked decis-
i've tone. but the. undertone of the mar
ket was healthful and some issues were
in keen demand. To-day's transactions
reached $4,475 900.

THE TERRA DEL FUEGANs.

Since the earliest days of American his
tory there has been a halo of romance
thrown over the Indians of TERRA del
Fuego and Patagonia, which has always
made their life story intensely fascinating
Early exaggerated reports peopled these
islands with dangerous races OF huge
giants quite twice the size Of ordinary
human beings. Later, and supposedly
more accurate, statements made the peo-
pie the most ignorant of all aborignes,
Even Darwin says, II believe in this ex-
treme part of South America man exists
in a lower state of Improvement than in
any other part of the world
Although the people are neither of the
huge proportions described, nor lowest in
the scale of human enlightenment, never
theless there Is a certain amount of truth
in these early tales. The people of Pata-
gonia, and of the main island of TERRA
del Fuego, are very tall people. The
men are six feet high, with a perfect mus
cular system; the women nearly as tall.
and. dressed in furs, both appear like
giants when compared with the average
European. The smaller tribes inhabitng
the islets are a people who are in out
ward appearance the most miserable of all
men, and their implements of chase are
indeed very imperfect. But their language
Is so extensive that mentally the lowest
of the Cape Horn people must be regarded
as far above the Australian and some of
the African tribes. Through the indefati-
gable work of Mr.. Thomas Bridges the
missionary. now deceased, ! have heen
able to collect vocabulary of 5000 words
The mere existence of this large number
Of words bespeaks an intelligence far in
advance OF many other aboriRines. Fred
erick Cook in Harper's Weekly.

WILL HAVE A GRADE CROSSING.
Railroad Commissioners so Decide Re
garding Montpelier Contest.

Montpelier, July 25.--The STATE board of
railroad commissioners were IN the city
to-day and good part of the day was
consumed in a hearing on the petition of
the Montpelier and Wells River Railroad
company relating TO the kind Of crossing
" hioh should be gut in near the approach
TO the proposed Charles street bridge Tor
which the city recently appropriated for
construction a sum not to exceed $1,000.
1t had previously been given out by the
counsel for the road that the railway com
pany had not asked for an overgrld q
crossing but that an ample one ut grade
ehould be constructed and maintained al
the expense of the city so that the testi-
mony of General Manager w A. Stowell
at this time to the effect that an over
grade crossing was just what his company
desired built came as a surprise to the
other side. Arguments were made by j.
T. Lamson for the railroad aud Hon. w.
T. Dillingham; and T.. L. Laird for the
city.
After considering the question for lit
tie time. the railroad commissioners
Through their chairman, Hon. u. j. Fos
ter of Burlington, reported their dec lsion
In the matter. Mr. Foster stated that the
beard has not been given any new reasons
why there should be am oVc". cad crossing
established from those which We're cCn-
tanned in the report of the bridge commits
sion and later passed upon nv the supreme
Court: therefore they decided that the rec
concentrations Of the commission and the
order. Of the court relative to the matter
should be carried out in the construction
of Il grade crossing. The commissioners
also stated that in making This decision
they did not wish to De understood as e.
tai ishing a precedent in favor Of cross
inS' at grade. The matter OF the commits
sioEers issuing an order to the railroad
company to build plank crossing 80 fee I
IN width at the expense of the city was
finally disposed of by alio Hlug the board
TO draw an order in form aud submit ii 10

sued. The matter of the maintenance of
the crossing was also lett opeU.

Low and other prominent men, declined
an offer Of the Spanish mission before
Gen. Woodford was appointed. President
Mckinley has now appointed Seth Low
and every one of the leaders of his canvass
for mayor against Senator Platts cdud-
date, Gen. Tracy, in the famous mayor
atty contest in New York in 1897 of whom
Mr.. Root and Ambassador Choate were
the most prominent. Senator Platt has
been allowed to indorse them all, except
Mr.. Low, who was offered the Spanish
mission, and afterward sent to The Hague
conference without Senator Plat being
consulted. Mr.. Root has, of course, al
ways been in opposition to senator Flat
and is a Roos evelt, and not a Plat man.
Attorney Griggs is particularly glad that
Mr. Root is coming, because none of the
other members Of the cabinet play golf
and he expects to have cabinet ccmpan-
ion on the links near Washington every
favorable day,
In speaking of Mr.. Roots appointment,
Secretary Long said:
'rhe selection is an admirable one. Mr..
Root has great executive ability. which
will enable him to administer department
affairs with ability and success. Then TOO
In addition to his executive ability, he has
vast amount of legal learning, which
will enable him to handle the legal ques-
lions which will be constantly arising as a
result of our recent acquisition OF Spanish

EDMONTON TRAIL A DEATH TRAP
Horrible Tale of Death and Suffering
From a Traveller of the Route.

| Seattle, Wash. July O.. "A Times special
from Vancouver. Il. c., says: e. r. Malt
by, who has arrived from Dawson was Is
months on the Edmonton route. With
about one hundred other prospectocs he
wintered at Wind City When he left in
January 16 men were sick with scurvy. He
heard in March that DIR. Mason of Ctica-
go and w. Gouchie, n son of Chicago
barker were dying
There were about fifty men stranded
there, scurvy stricken and frost bitten. f.
H. Harris of Hamilton had both Of his feet
frozen and they were amputated at the
ankles. Two Russians. named Boerman
from California were dying with scuivy.
They were living on the s,ftUgs of sour
-four only. j. Peterson of Patterson, son
of Lieut. Gov Peterson of Manitoba. and
Coates Worth a Chicago lawyer, were also
stranded at Wind City in March
All would have beeu we'll If the Indian
guides could have been induced to navigate
beyond the divide after reaching Wind
City. but there they stopped saying That
savages ten feet high roaued through the
mountains and crushed men between their
thumbs and fingers and ate them up. The
Indians reported that several parties Rad
been lost in the mountains These men
had never been heard of again. 1t WAS al
ter the Indian guides left them they stray
ed into a section of the country where
there was no fuel and there froze TO death.
The parties quarrelled among themselves
AMI took different routes Many remn ants
Of parties were lost in this way for n
their anger they left the Indian guides
and with the main portion of the party
wandered away in the mountains and be-
came lost.
Mr.. Maltby urges the Canadian govern

sible for advertising the Edmonton trail
as a feasible route TO Dawson when 1t Is
nothing but death trap
