BRADsTREET's REVIEW.
General Trade Has an IrrcguIni
Appearance.


New York, March "a Bradstrcet's to-
morrow will say; Stormy weather. re.
tarding spring distribution in some sec
tons, has impaired an irregular appear-
ance 10 general trade. while some few re-.
ductions in prices OF leading staples, nota,
bly, raw cotton and wool copper and some
few other metals, serve to break the other,
wise almost unvary.Ag appearance OF
strength OF staple values. The general
commercial situation, however, continues
TO present muCn apparent strength. and
the few lines that note a ouieter tone Of
business find ready substitutes among
other branches which as yet have been
rather backward. Better weather at the
South and especially improved roads find
reflection in larger volume of receipts
oil cotton this week and the result of a
fractional shading OF prices Coffee is
slightly lower on the week on rather less
active jobbins inquiry while the price Of
copper seems at last to be affecting the
demand, which slackened with a couse
duent drop in value of that metal. sym.
pathized in by the decline in tin and
lead. The iron situation is still one of
great strength, though the volume of bust
ness is concededly smaller than for some
weeks past and one grade of pig Bessemer
is lower on the week. Nearly every other
grade is higher this week. however.
Steel billets and rails are firmly held
and nearly all classes of finished materials
are higher, rejecting the earlier advance
in the cruder forms. The boot and shoe
sltuafion with iohbers is quite encourage
ing. Hides, though dull. are firm. and
the same is true Of leather. while the
current demand for the finished product
keeps the trade busy.
Sugar reflects steady buying In prac-
tically unchanged quotations.

from detached communities here
and there all over the United States,
as well as from general intelligence
on the subjec., IL to the effect that
the proportion OF good horse flesh to
the population of the country has
seldom, If ever, been as low as it Is
now. The discouraging conditions
surrounding the horse markets
everywhere have had the natural eff
feet of turning stockmen away from
the growing of good horses, until the
result alluded to is so plainly mani
fest as to admit of no question.
What may be- expected as to the
legitimate result? Many things
have occurred to reduce the demand
for horses for purposes of transport
tation and in the industries, but we
fail to read the signs Alright if the
tendency, despite all this, is not to-
ward a situation in which the de-
mand for good horses will exceed
the supply. That day may be Just
at hand, but it certainly should be
be coming.-EX.

Here and There.

Cleanliness of the skin is as essen
tial for the health of horse as for
that of man. The irritation of the
brushing stimulates the healthy
functions of the skin; but the
brushing may be too severe.
Lime, either dry or in whitewash,
is the most excellent disinfectant
that can be used in the poultry
house. Daub every single thing
with it.
You cannot always judge the in
side from outside appearance, yet
appearance goes a long way, and
clean, fresh-looking eggs go quick er
and better than dirty ones. What
ever is marketed should be in the
best possible condition.
Do not make hog eat bushel of
filth in order to get a bushel of grain.
A clean feeding floor is not difficult
to have, and your grain will go
further and the health of your hogs
will be better for having it.
1t will be better to reduce your
stock in due season than to reduce
the ability of the farm to carry it's
full amount next year; but this is
what you will 90 If you have the
pastures and meadows grazed too
closely now.
The man who goes into pork rails
ing with the idea that a pig is pig
anyway, and that all are alike, will
sooner or later give it up, wiser and
poorer than when he went in. There
is as much difference in hogs as in
the men who handle them.
The total area of corn in the United
States in 1898 was 77,72l,78l acres

COnsumptise Cows.

The tests being made in some
States show the alarming fact that a
great many cows used for dairy pur-
poses are infected with tuberculosis,
thus endangering the health and
lives of those who use the milk. The
following Associated Press dispatch
shows the result of a test made upon
one herd:
