State of Trade.

Bradstreet's Review of Trade for the
present week says:
General distributive trade is of good
volume, although affected by weather
conditions and holidays. Spring bust
ness is charging at many markets East
and West, the presence of buyers being
encouraged by special passenger rates.
softening of prices of speculatively
dealing staples is to be noted, but the
reactions are of narrow extent. Money
is steady as a whole, and no higher
than a week ago. In bank clearings
comparisons are less favorable, partly
because of a less pronounced specula-
tive activity at this time than last year
Gains in railway earnings for the first
two weeks in February are of absolute
ly phenomenal proportions, but it must
be remembered that there were excep-
tionally severe weather conditions ex-
perienced last year. In spite of this,
however, it is to be said that east-bound
tonnage is of unparalleled volume,
while shipments of spring goods to the
country are very large. That railroad
rates are being badly cut is confidently
asserted. The earnings OF SO roads for
the second week of February aggregate
$7,941 900, an increase of 3O.4 per cent
over the same period year ago. Bus
mess, as a whole, continues on large
scale, encouraging alike to distributors
and consumers.
Foreign demand for wheat remains
small. American stocks are larger,
farmers are reported holding supplies
back, and crop damage scares are dis
counted by mild weather. The strength
of corn has been a feature, foreign de.
mand being of good proportions, and
this has furnished a supporting ele.
ment in the wheat market General
complaint of the low grade of offerings
comes from primary markets. High
prices for flaxseed are expected to en-
courage the planting of much land ordi
narily devoted to spring wheat in the
Northwest.
There is larger volume of business
in pig iron at some markets, but less
at others, and prices of that product
are quite steady.

bination has impaired strength to that
branch of trade. Heavy engagements
have relieved the pressure in that line
| somewhat.
Structural iron continues active, in.
dlcating heavy building operations the
coming spring and summer. Foreign
markets retain their old strength and
lower ocean freights would, it is ar.
gued, bring about a great enlargement
of our export trade. Copper is quieter
but steady in price and tin notes fur.

Great Falls came nearer to being
blown sky-high recently than most of
her citizens dream of. A car contain
ing 10000 pounds of dynamite was
wrecked on switch about opposite the
Burlington hotel, and turned complete
ly over and upside down, yet none of its
contents exploded. 1t was more good
luck than good management, and the
reason that no explosion occurred is
probably on account of the cold weather
recently, in which the dynamite was
frozen and rendered comparatively
harmless.

Mr. Cleveland is quoted as saying
in an interview that in his opinion
the great need of the Democratic
party ISIS return to first principles
The Democratic party has not been
fatally disorganized, but it sadly
needs rehabilitation ON purely Demo-
cratic lines. 1t has in his humble
Judgment simply wandered Off after
strange gods. A large mass of Dem
ocratic voters saw this before last
election and remained quiet, but
when the time came 70 vote they said
this is not Democracy and refused to
support it, He thinks it the duty of
Democrats everywhere to aid in the
rehabilitation of the party and with
a sincere return to its old time doc
trines the old time victories Of the
party will be won.
