TRADE ItEPUhE.

New York.-Bradstreet report for.
last week is as follows:
Business on the whole was of a lare.
er volume last week. Cold and stormy
weather unquestionably stimulated re-
tail business in boots, shoes, rubber
goods and clothing and this has aided
Ill tightening the stocks carried by re-
tailers as a result of mild weather here
tofore. More has been doing, too, in
wholesale lines on spring account and
business in this respect is classed as
fair. Reports are relatively best from
the west and south, from which Sec
ton adVices are that the total january
business compares well with a year
ago. The contrary is reported from
leading eastern markets, however, and
the aggregate done here has not by far
equaled expectations. Trade collec-
lions as whole were fair, the only
complaint coming from sections where
mild weather has interfered with tho
distribution of heavy goods.
Foundry pig iron was lower at ALI
leading markets but on the other hand.
Bessemer is rather firmer, while steel
billets sell for 25c more per ton, and
there is talk of an advance of 81 per
ton. In finished products wire and
wire nails are So up. The weakness
in foundry grades is chargeable to
large buyers who having satisfied their
early wants now are holding off, and
to reports that stocks are increasing.
A sale of 10000 tons is reported closed
at the concessions noted. Export trade
in crude forms is practically dead but
in finished lines a good business is
still doing in railway material, exam
pies of which are shipments of locomo-
tives to France, steel rails to Mexico
and South Africa and steel billets to-
England. Heavy calls for pipe are re-
ported from the new oil district in
Texas. The labor outlook has been
helped by the compromise between the
valley furnace operators and their
men.
Wheat, including flour, shipments
for the week, aggregate 3,776,100 BUSH
els, against 4838,678 bushels last week;
2742,937 bushels in the corresponding
week of 1900 and $685. 18 bushels in

The cultivation of cacao. says writer

ing agricultural pursuit In Trinidad
and parts Of Venezuela. The cacao tree
cannot Withstand strong sunshine, and
the young plants have to be shaded by
banana or plantain trees and later.
when they attain their growth, by tall
trees known as '1mmortelles," or the
mother of the cacao." These make
kind of canopy over the entire planta-
ton. The fruit of the cacao tree is a pod
resembling a cucumber and growing on
the trunk or large branches, where 1t
Clocks as though it were artificially at
tached." The seeds are like large, thick
lima beans imbedded in pulp. These
form the cacao beans Of commerce. The
processes Of curing and drying require
much attention.
