THE CONDITION Of TRADE
Advanced Quotations for Grades
of Iron and Steel.
HEAVY SALES OF LUMBER
Increased Activity in Building Lines
Distributing Demand Is Quietng
Down-Further Weakening
OF Cereal Values.

New York, May 12.-Bradstreet's to-
| morrow will say:
| Reports as to trade conditions are
generally of a favora BILE tenor, notably
among these being advanced quota
ti0ns for many grades Of iron and steel,
increased activity in building lines, re-
fiected in heavy sales of lumber at
prices tending upward, a firmer tone in
the cotton goods markets, sympathized
in by the raw product, bank clearings
surprising all records for this week of
the year. railroad earnings maintain
ing recent gains and business failures,
as for some time past, down to the
minimum. Offsetting these in some
measure might be cited the reasonable
quieting down of wholesale distributive
demand, particularly for dry goods and
clothing, but most notable of all, the
further weakening Of cereals, values
rejecting the difference of foreign buy
ers in spite of the definitely conceded
fact that our winter wheat acreage has
been considerably curtailed, lower quo
tatlons on hog products and some shad-
ing of prices in sugar, copper and tin.
If conditions Of demand, supply, in
visible wheat reserves and foreign crop
advices did not favor lower prices, the
government report might have been re-
garded as a bullish publication. The
weakness in the market under these
circumstances may therefore be re-
garded as rejecting the feeling among
foreign consumers that good crops
abroad and the refilling of depleted re-
serves from last years yield will fur
nish wheat in plenty. lie demand in
iron and steel does not weaken. Pro-
duction of pig iron, though at mini
mum, is still inadequate and the stocks
of pig iron show further decrease.
Reports that possible foreign business
in this line has been rejected come from
producing centers, but the efforts Of
foreigners to obtain supplies here is
nevertheless testimony to their own
productive abilities being heavily
taxed.
1t seems evident the first real inspi-
ration in the wool industry must come
from abroad. Heavy buying of Austria
liam goods for re-export has been again
the feature, but coupled with this are
reported liberal sales at leading mar
kets of domestic wool to go abroad In
the building trades activity is very gen.
orally reported, as sales Of lumber are
large and the strong statistical position
of nearly all grades fofeshadOWS con-
tinued firmness of a further advance.
Hides and leather are in good demand
for raw, while the manufactured pro-
duct is moving as well as recent adj
vances.
Wheat, including flour, shipments for
the week aggregate 3,2S4,1S3 bushels
against 3,4S4,0S1 bushels last week

A COSTUME.

During her recent visit to the Holy
Land, her majesty, the German empress,
was so delighted with the graceful, flow
ing lines of the Bedouin costume that she
requested the wife of the governor of
Lebanon to procure one for her. AS a
memento of the occasion the emperor
presented the lady with a very handsome
bracelet, at the same time laughingly re-
marking:
Perhaps on some future day the wife
of your son may receive a similar gift
from my SON."
The garment, which will, of course, be
absolutely correct in every detail, is be-
ing built by a firm of ladies' outfitters
chow incongruous it sounds for that part
of the worldly in Beyrout. THE empress
is a most accomplished photographer:
indeed, only those who have seen her
work have any idea to what really ar
tistic perfection she has succeeded in
bringing it. During her recent MEM
orable journey her majesty devoted all
the time she could spare to her favorite
amusement, and since her return she
has graciously given permission for a
number of the most beautiful of the pho
tographs taken by herself in the Holy
Land and also during the voyage thither,
TO be published in the form of an album,
the proceeds from the sale of which are
to be devoted to charitable purposes.
First, and also one of the most artistic
of the series, is the Venetian scene, repre-
| senting one of the lagoons of Venice, on
which are a number of gayly decorated
gondolas; but, perhaps, the picture taken
on board the H~ohenzollern, showing the
emperor receiving the homage of the in
habitantS of Mitylene, who have brought
with them a number of garlands of flow
ers n a quantity of baskets containing
poultry, is more original.

syndicate for 500, 600 cash. The syndl-

100 tons of quartz. In return the syndl-
cate received a bill for about 1913 smelt-

A DESERTED MARBLE TOWN.

New York sun: Cup in ONTARIO" said
]. w. Wheatley, a civil engineer Of Mon
treal. ''there is a deserted town called
Bridgewater, which is built entirely Of
marble. About twenty-five years ago a
farmers wife was searching in the woods
for a pig that had strayed from the
family pen. In a particularly dense part
of the woods she found a spring of crys-
tai water. Being thirsty, she stopped
over to drink. AS she did so she slipped
on a round stone which rolled from I'M
der her foot and fell into the water. At
tracted by the peculiar color Of the stone,
she fshed it out and took it home, 1t

Of almost pure gold.
