BRADsTREETs REPORT.

BY Associated Press.
New York, March 30. 9.-Bradstreet' s
says: A rather more cheerful tone is
apparent in general trade and the
finds the business world contemplating
total trade for that period in many
cases in excess of all proceeding per-
iods, while the future. with some ex =
ceptiOns, is viewed with apparent conf
dence. The advance of the sprin,.
season is, of course, partly responsible
for the feeling above mentioned. al
lowing as it does, better opportunity for
a wider range of operations than was
possible in the winter months.
Building is becoming more active
and promises this spring to be the
heaviest for many years, hence the
lumber trades and all lines of building
hardware note continued or growing
activity. Demand in the latter and in
agricultural implements are most moi
able.
There has been an apparent turn in
the tide in wool trade, even while some
quotations are technically lower. 4
good volume of business has been done
at leading eastern markets and values
are quite firm.
Cotton goods are weaker and the
outlook is for a curtailment of produc-
ton on finished products.
The boot and shoe trade is in good
condition. The situation in leather is
quite satisfactory and stocks of sole
leather are quite limited
There is little more doing in cereals
this week, corn being especially active,
and in the hands of bull CLIQUE has
advanced to above so cents. Wheat
has been in better export demand and
strengthened slightly in sympathy
with coarser grain.
Iron and steel have made steady pro
gress alike in the volume of sales and
in price. Finished products are ac-
tive and strong. Pig iron has been
more active, big sales reported. Cur
rent export figures point to smalle,
shipments of goods abroad, but the
strength noted in foreign markets last
week may postpone and even temper.
arily avert the decline of our export
business.
Failures for the week number 1S9
against 231 last week, 17S the week /
year ago. Canadian failures, are 2S
against last week and rs in the weeI

Burlington and United States Steel
stocks were the most conspicuous feat
ures, and their strength had decisive
influence on the whole list.
The furious speculation in Burlington

through successive reactions to 175,

Profit taking in Northern Pacific was
very heavy, carrying the stock down

S. Steel stocks was heavy.
There was very notable demand
for high grade investment stocks and
for some others on which the dividend
return is still at high rate. The

fects of realizing. Sugar was also un-
der pressure.

Killed While PerSuing Assassin.

Special to the Leader.
Pennsboro, w. Va, March "a
mysterious murder occurred about six
miles south of this place last night
when Greed Jones, young farmer,
was killed in his own yard by some un-
known person.
Jones was sitting in the house in the
evening when he was fired at through
the window. fastening to the door,
he starter out into the darkness in pur-
suit of the assassin, who tried to kill
him. He did not return and little
later search was made for him which
resulted in the discovery of his deau
body only a few feet from the house.
He had been shot four times with re-
volver and had four bullet holes in his
body, any one of which would probab-
ly have proven fatal.
Magistrate Duty is conducting an
inquiry into the shooting this after
noon. There is a suspicionthat a rela,
tive of Jones knows something about
the murder but nothing has been
found yet on which to base an arrest.

BLOW AT LABOR UNIONS
BRITISH HOUSE OF LORDS DECISION
on PICkETING.
EMPLOYER Can Sue the Organization
for characterization Funds
Threatened.

SWANSEA, Wales, September "a COM
motion was caused at today's session OF
the trades union congress here by the ac-
ton Of some employers in endeavorlng to
recover damages, under the the house OF
lords decision of July % last, from labor
organizations for picketing by their mem
bers. A delegate from Blackburn was
served with a writ yesterday restraining
him and the members of the Blackburn
branch of the Weavers, Winders and
Wrappers Association from picketinS Ban
lister & Moore's works, where a strike Is
now in progress Damages and costs were
claimed. Besides this suit the Taft Vale
railroad is suing the Amalgamated Society
of Railway Servants for 10000 damages,
incurred as a result of the strike Of 1900.
These suits will be strcnuously defended
but their seriousness puts in the shade al
most every other topic of discussion.
President Bowernan today devoted the
principal part of his address to this topic,
declaring that union funds were threaten
ed with demolishment and that the posi-
ton was intoerable. He said the parla-
mentary committee favored an alteration
of the constitutions of the unions, with the
object of minimizing their liability.
The Chronicle today supports tins view,
maintaining that no association of work
ingmen can long stand against such liti-
cation. and that if the decision regarding
picketing is final, then any unscrupulous
capitalist will have his employees at his
mercy and "the working classes will sink
back into an unorganized and impotent
crowd
The house of lords decision of July %
reversed the decision of the appeal court.
which dissolved the injunction rendered
August 80, 1900 in the high court Of JUS
tice. enjoining officials of the Amalgamated
Society of Railway Servants from watch
Ing and besetting' a railroad station and
approaches with view to inducing non
unionists to refrain from taking the places
of the strikers The house then held that
1t was not the intention of the legislature
to prevent trades union from being sued
if through its officers it is guilty of iile-
galitieS.
