Business Is Best In West and South-Good ex.
port Demand for Finished Products.
Bradstreet's says: Business a. =
whole has been of larger volume this
week. Cold and stormy weather has
unquestionably stimulated retail bust
ness in boots, shoes, rubber goods and
clothing, aud this has aided in tighten
ing the stocks carried by retailers ~ .
result OF mild weather heretofore.
More has been doing, too. in whole
sale lines on spring account, and busi-
ness in this respect is classed as fair.
Reports are relatively best from the
West and South, from which sections
advices are that the total January
business compares we'll with year
ago. The contrary is reported from
leading Eastern markets, however.
and the aggregate done here has not by
far equaled expectations. Trade COL
lections as q whole are fair, the only
complaint coming from sections where
mild weather has iuterfered with the
distribution Of heavy goods.
The weakness in foundry grades
Is chargeable to large buyers who, hav-
ing secured their early wants now are
holding aloof, and to reports that
stocks are increasing. A sale of TO-
600 tons is reported closed at the con.
cessions noted. Export trade in crude
forms is practically dead. but in I'm
ished lines good business is still do.

THE WOODWARD FIRE.
Firemen Fought the Blaze Until Yes
terday Afternoon.

The fire which started on the garbage
wharf at the foot of Twenty-seventh and
G. Streets northwest Sunday morning
about 5 o'clock proved to be one of the
most stubborn that the Fire Department
has had TO contend with for some time.
The fire was discovered by Waterman
Davis, who is employed by the Gas Light
Company, issuing from the frame office
building on the garbage wharf and he
telephoned for Truck B. When that ,cm-
pany arrived the foreman Immediately
sounded an alarm from box 231, which
was soon afterward followed by a second
alarm. The flames spread rapidly to the
coal and wood yard OF J. Maury Dove,
and IL was late in the afternoon before
the engines could be withdrawn. Mr.
Dove estimates his loss at $1,000 fully
covered by insurance, and the buildings
destroyed on the garbage wharf were
probably worth $500 a large gang of
men was put to work. and the rebuilding
Of the sheds and Offices was commenced
at once. During the afternoon Philip
Rhoder, carpenter, forty years old, fell
from a fence on which he was working
and his back was so badly injured that
he was removed to the Emergency Hos
pital. AS the result of a report that a
Waterman, who made his headquarters in
the building where the fire started, was
missing yesterday morning, the ruins
were carefully searched but without re-
suit
