TRADE REPORT.
report for last week Ia

Bradstreet's report for last week La
as follows:
A rather cheerful tone was apparent
in general trade and the close of the
first quarter Of the year finds the busi-
mes world contemplating total trade
for that period in many cases in excess
of all preceding periods, while the flu
ture, with some exceptions, is viewed
with apparent confidence. The adj
vance of the spring season is, of course.
partly responsible for the feeling above
mentioned, allowing, as 1t does, better
opportunity for wider range of opera
tions than was possible in the winter
months. First indications as to crop
prospects and the outlook are in the
main favorable. Bank clearings are
showing steady gains over unprecedent-
eddy large totals year ago. Railway
earnings testify to an immense volume
of merchandise passing into consump-
ton and as for some time past the
active demand at advancing prices for
iron and steel Is regarded as a reliable
index Of good general trade to come.
Building Is becoming more active
and promises this spring to be the hea-
West for many years past. Hence, the
lumber trades and all lines of builders
hardware note continued or growing
activity. The demand in the latter line
and in agricultural implements at the
west is, in fact. most notable.
AS pointed out a week ago, there has
been an apparent turn in the tide In the
wool trade, even while some quotations
are technically lower. A good volume
of business has been done at the lead
ing eastern markets and values as q
whole are quit firm. Boston sales this
week are estimated to amount to near
ly 100000 pounds, bought by two
large mills. and the stocks Of Montana
wool have been well cleared up.
The boot and shoe trade is in good
condition.
There was little more doing In CO.
reals last week, corn being especially
active, and in the hands Of bull clique
advanced to above so cents. Wheat has
been in better export demand and
strengthened slightly in sympathy
with the coarser grain.
Iron and steel have made steady pro.
gress alike in the volume of sales and
in the matter Of prices. The long ex-
pected advance In structural matter
came last week with a gain OF 81 and
81 in beams, channels and similar pro-
ducts.
Wheat (including four) shipments
for the week aggregate 4,494.635 bush-
els. From July to date this season
wheat exports are 151,122,735 bushels.
Failures for the week numbered 180.
Canadian failures for the week number
20.

Chasing a Bear.

ANY one who has seen bear walk
knows how slowly he seems to move,
and his run is shuffling, numbering
gait that is comical to witness, unless
he happens to be running after you
But a bear moves pretty fast notwith
standing appearances, and the grizzly,
which looks to be clumsier than the
brown or black bear can cover ground
faster than the average saddle-hOrse.
A Philadelphia exchange prints this
story Of an Arizona sheep-rancher:
He was riding in the foothills when
he saw a big, awkward silvertip. He
had a rife, but was not certain he could
kill the bear at one shot, and knew that
he would get into trouble If he missed.
So he gave a regular cowboy yell, and
the bear started away in alarm. The
man gave chase, at the same time
keeping up the piercing yell, and he
soon noticed that the grizzly was get
ting farther away. He continued the
chase for nearly two miles, until the
bear disappeared in the mountains
and he had not gained foot.
In going back along the trail, he motto
cd places where the bear had made
Jumps of fifteen or twenty feet, and the
ground had been cut up by his claws Sc
that it looked as If harrow had beer
run over It. 1t is evident that a mar
would have no show running a foot
race with a grizzly.

An Exelusive Colony.

Those who work in the Du Pont pow
der mills on the Brandywlne, In Della
ware, form queer colony. They are
all Irish people, whose ancestors came
to this country when the Du Fonts
started in business and went to work
for them. For generations the Du
Points and these people have passed
their positions from father to son. Like
their employers, they lntermarry ana
are very exclusive. They live on what
are called Du Points banks, which are
about three miles from Wilmington
The people Of Wilmington know hardy
anything about them. for they have few
outside acquaintances, and their visits
are not frequent The hills about the
banks are the highest in Delaware and
It is at the base of them that these
workers live.
The town is lighted at night by the
electric plant in the works. The people
have their own places of amusements
the principal being the Brandywln'
Club, which has n finer building thar
any club in Wilmington. They also have
dances and theatricals frequently. Near
ly every one of them has lost relative

Hawsers of Monster Size.

The largest cable of modern times g
the MANILA hawser which was used to
tow the drydock to Havana. II is twen-
ty-three inches in circumference, but
it is by no means the largest that ever
as been made, although it has the rep.
utation of breaking the record.
There are at least two others Of a
greater circumference, but both older.
One of these had circumference. of
twenty-three inches, and was used for
the purpose Of anchoring the ship North
Carolina in the navy yard at Brooklyn,
while the other was twenty-four-inch
hawser, which was used as sheet-an-
chor cable on the Tennessee, when she
was stationed in the Mediterranean n
the COS. s..
Such an enormous rope was naturally
found to be unwieldy, fact which was
abandanuy demonstrated when the
vessel encountered a storm IN the Bay
of Naples. When the Tennessee re-
turned to her native home in America
the hawser was sent TO the oakum mills
and made it into oakum.

existence is believed to be a roughly
fashioned sickle blade found by Bel

imbedded in mortar under the base Of
