Bradstreet's Review of Trade says:
The quieter tone that pervades distrib-
utive trade is even more marked than last
week, testify ing to the unfavorable effect
upon the retail trade, and indirectly on
jObbing distribution, of backward
spring and less favorable wheat crop ad-
vices. While reports of damage to win
ter wheat are most numerous from the
southwest, the influences Of backward
season, frost in the ground and other un-
favorable conditions tended to moderate
the hitherto very cheerful tone of ad-
vices from spring wheat states. Other
features of the week we're further quiet

though here a lack of supplies and no
lack of consumptive demand is assigned
Is the chief reason. The strike of iron

Sand Mines in PennsvIvan;a

There are all kinds of mines in Penn
sylvania. The greatest are, of course,
the iron and coal mines, but few people
would guess that the next extensive
mining industry are the sand mines in
Western Pennsylvania. These mines
are rarely underground, however, and
many of them are viewed with wonder
by passengers on the Pennsylvania ap-
preaching Pittsburg. Whole mountains
are being dug away, and the granular
rocks forming them are being reduced
to sand for the manufacture of glass in
and about Pittsburg.
