In the Senate debate ON the Philip
pine question occupied practically the en-
tire day Wednesday. The bill for the
purchase of tie Rosebud reservation in
South Dakota and the sundry civil appro-
priation bill were considered, but no ac-
ton was taken on them aside from
amending the latter by appropriaunS
$3.50 900 for the purchase of the ground
and building now occupied by the CEN
sus bureau. In the House the agricul-
tural appropriation bill was passed after
increasing the item for good roads in
ouiries from $4,000 to $4,000, and IN
cooperating the following amendment:
"The Secretary of Agriculture shall. on
or before July 1. 1908. transfer to and
consolidate with the weather bureau and
under the direction of its chief all the
work of the Department of Agriculture
relating to the gathering and complla-
ton of statistics by the division OF sta

Versatile weather has
| NpR f0Tk produced erratic fiuctua-
tons in prices and affected
business very differently. according to 10
caiity. The extremes were Billiards and
oppressive heat, with every intermediate
variety. As the future prosperity Of the
railroads is more or less dependent upon
the crops. the ragaries of the weather
were quickly reflected in the markets for
securities as well as in option sales of
grain and cotton. Retail distribution of
merchandise has maintained a good ay-
erage, losses at some points being offset
by gains elsewhere. Manufacturing
plants are well employed. except where
wage disputes interrupt. Coffee and sill
yer touched low record prices, but the
average of commodities advanced. Trans-
porting interests maintain their wonder
full record, railway earnings thus far re-
ported for April exceeding last years by
81 per cent, and those of 1900 by 1873
per cent Dun 4 Cos Weekly Review
of Trade thus sums up conditions.
The Review continues:
Most large consumers of pig iron have
provided for their needs well up to the
end of the year, and consequently there
is little change to report in the situation
except as to small orders that appear
from time to time. Quotations. received
by cable indicate that pressure III the
United States has produced decided
advance abroad, and imports, after pay
ing duty and freight, are extremely eX-
pensive. Movement of partially manu-
featured and finished steel products con
time on a large scale. Lumber and
building material are having the usual
spring activity.
Manufacturers of cotton goods are still
behind with deliveries, and active ma
chinery is assured for some time TO come.
Labor disputes have been temporarily ad-
justed making the output very heavy as
compared with recent weeks, when the
strikes were causing interruption. New
orders are small, the recent liberal ex-
port demand being checked, it is thought,
by the fall in silver. Jobbers have re-
ceived requests for more prompt deliv-
cry, retail trade having expanded with
the warmer weather. Quotations of cot
ton goods are firmly held, the strength
of the raw material giving support In
dependent wooden mills are working night
and day.
Wool moves slowly, and in some in
stances prices are shaded, but as rule
holders insist on fall figures Footwear
shops at the East have few new orders,
and shipments from Boston continue TO
decrease. Jobbers have sufficient stocks
TO supply the retail demand and are in
clined TO delay placing contracts.

Drought Hurt Crops.
Bradstreet's says:


The cereals and to lesser degree hog
products generally responded promptly
TO the southwestern wheat damage re-
ports, which, coupled with very heavy de-
creases in the visible supplies, particular
" in Manitoba and the Northwest, result
ed in the highest prices of the crop sea-
son being reached for cash wheat. Corn,
too, almost broke the season record. Crop
reports to Bradstreet's indicate that be-
yond doubt the Kansas wheat crop has
been hurt by the drought and hot winds.
Nothing in excess of three-quarters of u
crop is looked for even by the most san
guine, while 60 per cent of last years
yield is confidently predicted. In other
sections, however, rains have benefited
the situation, and even in Kansas the
rains, though received late, are encour-
aging so far as the outlook for the com
ing corn crop is concerned.
Wheat. including flour. exports for the
week aggregate 3,750,5S9 bushels, against
Ais, los last week and 4, $50, 1919 in this
week last year. Wheat exports from
July l, 1901, to date (forty-three weeksl
aggregate 210.556,6 67 bushels, against
170,616.064 last season. Corn exports
aggregate 376, 1856 bushels, against 400
733 last week and 1914, 500 last year.
