Loud Postal Bill Dead.

Washington, March 24.-After a
spirited discussion extending over
three days, the Loud bill, relating to
second-class mail matter, was recon-
mitted by the house to the committee
on postoffices. The majority in favor
of the motion to recommit was so de-
cisive that it is regarded as unlikely
that the measure will appear again
during the present congress.

Any Responsible Party Can Have
By Asking.
1T is PROVIDED FOR BY LAW.

Washington, March 24.-Secretary
Root made brief statement to the
press in regard to the action OF the
department in granting licenses to
prospectors to dredge the water front
lat Cape Nome, Alaska, in their search
'for gold. He admitted that one or two
such licenses had been issued, but to
whom he did not remember, as it was
lin the regular routine of the depart
ment. There were about dozen more
applications of the kind and they will
be granted. The secretary explained
that his authority in the matter was
based upon the statutes giving the
war department jurisdiction over the
navigable waters of the United States.
Under the law no one could have
done any dredging on the water front
of Cape Nome within a three-mile
limit without the authority of the war
department. This authority, the sec
setary says, has been granted in sew
eral instances, because it was shown
the proposed dredging of sand would
not interfere with navigation or the
riparian rights of owners of adjacent
territory. The particular character of
the sand to be dredged did not enter
into the consideration of the case at
all. Although he did not go into de-
tail, Secretary Root made it clear that
the privileges in question were free to
all responsible persons and no dis
elimination had been intended in the
cases that had been acted upon.

.BRADSTREET'S ON BUSINESS.
Retail Trade Conditions Favorable
---lron Industries Bright.
OUR ARGENTINE COMPETITION,

| New York, March 26.-Bradstreet's
trade review says: Favorable reports
as to retail distribution and as to col
lections come from southern, western
and northwestern markets, due to bet
ter weather. Continued good railroad
returns, record merchandise
exports from New York, with signs OF
a resumption of heavy shipments OF
iron to Europe and good wheat and
fruit crop reports, except from the
central west, are also features.
An unfavorable element is the pre-
diction of general strike of machin-
lists, but it is possible that more than
it's proper weight has been given this
threatened trouble. AS offsets to this
threatened trouble might be cited the
settlements of differences among the
lake ore handlers, a vital point in the
immense business looked for the COM
ing spring and summer. Advances in
wages of soft coal miners, of stove
moulders and of other workers allied
to the iron and steel industry would
seem to point to labor conditions re-
tanning most of the favorable features
which have made them subjects OF
favorable remark.
Foreign demand seems likely to play
A most important part in the iron and
steel industries, judging from the re-
ports of advancing foreign markets
and of increasing inquiries upon man
ufacturers.
Foundry irons, ore of low grade, are
cheaper, but finished products note lit
tie, if any, change.
Sugar is higher, mainly owing to the
growing strength of raw material.
Wheat and corn, among the bread
stuffs, have been weaker, rejecting
another one of those short swings in
price which have been such a feature
of the former market, but also expect
ed heavy shipments from the Argen-
tine and good crop reports from the
south and west. In the central west
wheat crop advices are disappointing,
complaint of winter killing more than
offsetting increased acreage.
Advices so far received would point
to the retail trade opening well, par
ticularly in the south, the northwest
and the central west, except at the
lake cities, where the lateness of the
season or of unfavorable weather con-
ditions have operated as deterrent.
