TRADE REPORT.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: Unsettled weather was
the most unsatisfactory feature Of bus
mess. A sudden thaw following an ex-
ceptionally heavy snowfall produced
freshets and floods. Manufacturing in
terests suffered and consumers were
urgent for shipment of delay goods,
while great quantities of merchandise
became stalled in transit. Preparations
for an enormous spring trade continue
undiminshed. There is still some un-
easiness regarding the labor situation
atethe coal mines and at Fall River
there is a disagreement as to the
length of cut of cloth, although in
creased wages were assured. Not only
is there no improvement to be re-
corded in the iron and steel outlook,
but floods in the Pittsburg region add
ed to the pressure by completely clos
ing many plants and damaging much
costly machinery. All staples steadied
and some rose sharply, the net changes
for the week amounting to consider
able advance. 1t was natural for grain
to hold firm when wheat receipts at
the west were 2,988,344 bushels, COM
pared with 3,747,957 bushels last year.
Exports of wheat, flour included, were
4,174,894 bushels, against 3,S15,032
bushels in the previous week, and
3,715,930 bushels a year ago. Specu-
lation was quiet, with many guesses as
to the coming report of farm reserves.
Failures for the week numbered 1856 in
the United States against 208 last year,
and II in Canada against 26 last year.

WHERE WATER DOES HARM.

There are sections of the west and
northwest where the reception Of
enough rainfall to make luxuriant
growth of grass and good crops of &C.
reals Is little short of positive mis-
fortune in that it tempts home seekers
and settlers to buy such land and at
tempt to farm the soil in the same
manner as in the states farther east
where the rainfall is uniform, sufficient
and dependable. Such condition pre-
walls this season, the rainfall being
ample and the crops good well over
into the so called range country. The
abnormal eagerness to secure cheap
land, which is developing into a craze
all over the northwest, is carrying hun
dreds of settlers over the danger line,
and they are paying all the way from
So to SIS per acre for land which expe-
rience proves should be never touched
with the pillow. There is absolutely no
truth in the claim so often made that
settlement and cultivation of the soil
induce and promote an increased av-
erage rainfall. This fad was thorough
ly exploded in the history of western
Kansas and Nebraska years ago.

MUST CHANGE.

II is ND to the farmer of the west and
northwest to pay to study how to
make money on land worth $500 per
acre. 1t is a new proposition to the av-
erage man and makes him scratch his
head. Old methods will have to 60
that much he sees-but it is not easy
for him to adapt himself to new ones.
He always has used thirty-five dollar
scrub bulls and still looks upon it as
wanton waste of good money to buy
two hundred dollar animal. He has al
ways sold most of his grain and hay
crop and is afraid to feed it all out
and lot more with it on his farm. He
has always had contempt for book
farming and college professors and
hates to own up that either books or
professors know more than he does
He has always run his farm by guess
and by gum and never knew whether
he was making dollar or not unless
he had few dollars left after his
hired help. grocery and machinery
bills were paid. 1t worries him that
he has got to change, learn in a new
school and adopt entirely new meth
DDS of agriculture. But he'll have to or
quit, not the least doubt about that.

CREAMERY COMBINES.

A movement in line with the almost
universal effort being made to combine
individual lines of business into large
concerns is being attempted with the
creamery business. At some of the
large business centers companies have
been organized for the purpose of buy
ing and handling all the cream pro-
duced within radius of from 100 to
200 miles, and the prices paid for such
cream are higher than the producer
realizes from his local creamery. While
we have expected to see this thing at
tempted, we have never believed that
it could be made profitable, but it
seems that 1t is a success. We still be-
lieve that the dairyman had better
stick to his home company even If he
does not realize quite so much for his
product; otherwise a trust to all in
tents and purposes will be created
which may, when competition 10
crushed out. pay him full value for his
product, and then again 1t may not.

IMPORTANCE OF THE CORN CROP.
The relation which the cotton crop
and the wheat crop and the products
Of our iron mines bear to the business
prosperity of the country can hardly
be overestimated. but of greater i'm
portance than any of these is the
growing crop of corn. The corn forms
the basis of so large a portion of the
foodstuffs of the country that only
during a year when the crop is short,
as last year, do we fully realize its i'm
portance. The country is so well

A KICK JUSTIFIED.

Now, here we make a kick, and a
justified one at that. Reduction in rev.
enue taxes to the amount of $73,00O,0U,
went into effect July 1, the government
getting more money than it needed, but
the taxes thus Cancelled benefited stock
brokers, banks, gamblers, brewers, pat
ent medicine men, and not the common
people, who still have to be content
with sixteen or seventeen pounds Of
sugar for dollar. Why not have made
partial reduction in the excessive tax
on sugar, one of the absolute necessa-
ries of living for the common people,
and let the classes mentioned have
still contributed to the support Of the
government? The government tax on
sugar is one Of the most illogical and
burdensome taxes, save as the govern
ment needs the revenue produced, that
was ever placed upon the backs of the
American people. 1t is akin to the salt
tax in India.
