WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Encouraging Reports Come From
the Western centers.

the Western Centers.
Bradstreet's says: Trade reports
from the distributive centers at the
West continue encouraging, while
such measures of trade volume as
bank clearings and railway earnings
indicate considerable gain in busi-
ness over year ago. Soft spots are,
of course, to be found, notably in
the manufacturing branches of the
cotton and the wool trade, but ad-
vices from the dry goods and cloth
ing distributors are encouraging, and
it is thought will help business. The
strength of iron and steel this week
recalls the boom of 1899. 1t is prob
consumptive demand and not the ope.
rations of pools or cliques, is respon.
sible for the steady advances. Prac-
tically all markets report iron and
steel higher, but special activity is
noted at Pittsburg, Birmingham and
Chicago; st. Louis alone reports
foundry iron consumers Indifferent.
The cereals are without notable
change, wheat and corn being frac-
tionally lower in dull, scalping mar
ket. Lumber is strong in price, pend
ing the resumption of general build
ing operations. Western advices are
especially bullish. Chicago has done
the heaviest business ever recorded
in yellow pine and white pine. Stocks
have been broken badly by the active
demand. Hard woods are rather
slower to respond, however, and are
still unsteady, not to say weak. Cop
per is less active for export, but
hold firm, while tin is again lower
on foreign advices.
Wheat, including flower, shipments
for the week aggregate 5,233,313
bushels against 3.424,3O2 bushels
last week.
Business failures in the United
States for the week number 167, as
against 231 last week.
Canadian failures for the week
number %, as against "a a week ago.

WHEN LOVE WENT BY.

When Love went by scarcely bent
My eyes to see which way he went.
Life had so many joys to show,
What time had to watch him go,
Or bid him in, whom folly sent?
But when the day was well nigh spent.
From out the easement long leant.
All, would had been watching SO
When Love went by!
Gray days with dismal nights are blent,
Lonely and sad and discomfort;
would his feet had been more slow.
Oh, heart of mine, how could we know
Or realize what passing meant
When Love went by?

Finding Days of the Week.

The prematurely aged young man

Answers to correspondents" column
says that queries of the same nature
always come in punches. They seem
20 be epidemic. Just at present great
many people seem eager to know what
day of the week they were born on,
and it keeps him busy figuring the
dates out. He has a system which he
nses, and for the benefit of others who
may be in search of like information it
is herewith given. For instance, take
Jan. Is, 1868. A man born on that date
writes to know what day of the week
it fell on. In order to ascertain this
divide the figures representing the
year by 4, rejecting the remainder, if
any. To this dividend and quotient
add the number of days in the year to
the given date, Inclusive, always reck-
opi, G twenty-eight days in February.
Divide the sum by 7, and the remain

the week, 0 signifying Saturday. Here

Counting the Stars.

Today the stars visible from the first
to the thirteenth magnitude aggregate
to about 100000 of which nearly
100000 have been photographed. In
the most powerful telescopes, even the
fifteenth magnitude has been reveal
ed; of this magnitude perhaps 100000
600 stars are suspected, but knowledge
concerning them is uncertain. In the
milky way alone there are some 10000
stars, separate by vast distances. To
the eye at the telescope the sky seems
no longer dotted with consultations,

they tell me the trading is over for the
day. Now that it is impossible for me
to ask you about your business, I sup
pose you want me to tell you about my

ORGANIC LAW
FOR THE CUBANS
What Congress May Do About
the Proposed Consti-
tuition.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The report
from Havana that the Cuban constitu-
tion may be completed in time to be con-
sidered at this session of Congress has
led to discussion in Congressional circles
as to the procedure likely to be adopted
on document of this character. 1t is
expected that the constitution will be
forwarded to the President and by him
submitted to Congress-, probably with
recommendations. In the House the un-
derstanding prevails that any action on
the subject would be framed by the In
Sular Committee. But it is not clear
what action, if any, is called for reIa-
tive to the constitution of what is held
to be foreign territory, except as it con-
tains provisions regarding the United
states. chairman Cooper, of the Insular
committee, says it would not be for Con-
gress to pass upon or ratify the consti-
tuition, as it is for the Cubans to do this
Tor themselves. He thinks it probable.
however, that declaratory resolution
could be framed, expressing the views of
Congress as to the sufficieney of the
constitution in ensuring a stable and pa
cine government for Cuba and perhaps
laying down the general plan of turning
over the island affairs to the Cubans as
soon as their constitutional system is
put into practice. In this, however, the
purpose would not be SO much to pass
on the constitution as to see that the
United States pledges of a pacific gov
ernment were carried out. In case the
constitution provides for an American
protectorate, or gives other provisions
relating to the United States, special ac-
ton might be required beyond the mere
resolution approving the system propos-
ed. Chairman Knox, Of the Committee
on territories, expressed the belief that
there is not the slightest chance of ad-
vancing the constitution so that it can
be considered at this session of Con-
gress, and he expects a Fabian policy by
which the Cubans will slowly perfect
their system, and the United States viii
gradually determine upon the ultimate
relations which are to exist between this
country and Cuba

HAY-PAUNCEFOTE
TREATY TO,RETURN.
1t May Bring Some More OF
Less Unacceptable
Amendments.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The expecta-
ton here is that the British Government
will return the amended Hay-Pauncefote
treaty with amendments of it's own, and
it is not expected that those British
amendments will be acceptable to the
United States Senate. Whether or not
this expectation is based on advices from
Mr.. Choate or communications from
Lord Pauncefote it is impossible to de-
termine. In either case the communica-
tlons must necessarily have been infor-
NAL in advance of the action of the
British Government itself on the treaty.
The officials here say frankly that they
have no knowledge of the character of
the probable British amendments, so it
is likely that the opinion that they will
be unacceptable to the Senate is based
on nothing more than a general under
standing as to the feeling in the Senate
toward the whole canal project on the
one side and on the other of the broad
purpose of the British Government to
avoid a complete abandonment of the in
terests it has heretofore claimed and as
serted over the Isthnian transit.
