DUN & co.'s WEEKLY REPORT.
All Business Is Good--TranspIantin
Interests Maintain IL Great Record.

New York, April 26.--'R. G. Dun 81
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Retail distribution of merchandise
has maintained a good average,
losses at some points being offset by
gains elsewhere. Manufacturing
plants are well employed, except
where wage disputes interrupt. Cof-
fee and silver touched low prices, but
the average of commodities advanced.
Transporting interests maintain their
wonderful record, railway earnings
thus far reported for April exceeding
last years by 5.2 per cent, and those
of 1900 by 1873 per cent.
Most large consumers OF pig iron
have provided for their needs well up
to the end of the year, and conse-
quently there is little change to re-
port in the situation, except as to
small orders that appear from time
to time. Quotations received by
cable indicate that pressure in the
United States has produced a decided
advance abroad, and imports, after
paying duty and freight, are ex-
tremely expensive. Movement of par
tally manufactured and finished
steel products continues on a large
scale. Increased output and quicker
deliveries of coke facilitate work at
iron furnaces and reduce the price,
while the lower list for anthracite
coal has stimulated orders. Lumber
and building materials are having the
usual spring activity.
Manufacturers of cotton goods are
still behind with deliveries. and active
machinery is assured for some time
to come. Labor disputes have been
temporarily adjusted, making the
output very heavy as compared with
recent weeks when the strikes were
causing Interruptions. Jobbers have
received requests for more prompt de-
livery, retail trade having expanded
with the warmer weather. Indepen-
dent wooden mills are working night
and day.
Wool moves slowly, and in some in
stances prices are shaded, but as a
rule holders insist on fall figures.
Footwear shops at the east have few
new orders.
The prospects for a full yield Of
wheat are less bright than they were
week ago. Lack of moisture has
checked growth in the southwest, and
snow has retarded farm work in some
spring wheat states, but it is prob
able that there is the customary eX-
nggeration of damage reports for
speculative purposes. Meats were
well sustained.
Cotton rose to the top point of the
season on light receipts and reports
of reduced acreage.

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND
CONFISCATED I'M
NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke of st. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily a number of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized a quantity
of stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from alum
mixed with ground rock, and dumped
it into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus taxi
ing effective means to prevent the in
PRODUCTION into our markets of in
furious substitutes in place Of whole
some baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents. a
pound, there is great temptation for.
those manufacturers who make sub
stituteS and imitation goods to use it..
Alum baking powders can be detected
by the health authorities by chemical
analysis, but the ordinary housekeep-
er, whose assistance in protecting the
health of the people is important, cam
not make a chemical examination. She
may easily know the alum powders,
however, from the fact that they are
sold at from ten to twenty cents for
pound can, or that some prize-like
spoon, or glass, or piece of crockery,
or wooden ware-is given with the
powder as an inducement.
As the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking powder
of established name and character,
and as the health authorities continue
their vigorous crusades, the alum
danger will, it is hoped, finally be
driven from our homes

BETTER PAY FOR WORKERS.
One of the ApprecinbIe Results of
the WorkinE-Out of Repub-
lican Policies.

Without any great and sensational
struggles between employers and
workngmen very large number OF
wage earners have had their pay in
creased this year, and 1902 is still
young. The gains for labor have been
in many trades and in widely separated
parts of the country. As a rule they
have been obtained without strikes,
threats or trouble of any kind. Many
employers have taken such action un-
solicited.
In all, hundreds of thousands of fam.
lies will have better means of living
comfortably and laying by provision
for old age. They will be freer and
happier, in nearly every case. 1t is
the rare exception to the .ule when
wage earners or those dependent On
them are injured by prosperity and
better pay, says the Cleveland Leader.
The effect upon the industries and
business Of the country is also an i'm.
portant fact to be noted. When wages
go up the consumption of all sorts of
useful and desirable merchandise in
creases. There is no other stimuIant
for trade which is so certain and so
powerful.
1t is needless to argue the point that
the rich use far greater quantities of
the products of labor and capital than
the poor and the middle classes are
able to buy. One wealthy family dis
poses of more work turned into cloth.
food, furniture, paintings. books,
houses and other things which nearly
everyone desires than the consumption
of hundred very poor households rep
resents. This is not true in regard to
the weight or bulk of the food, of
course, but it is, to some degree, in
the human labor represented by the
things eaten. In other particulars, as
in clothing and jewelry, the difference
may be as one to a thousand.
Hence it follows that whenever any
thing happens which makes a large
number of persons a little better able
to buy and use what they want there
is Immediately a marked increase in
the demand for the products of indus
try, through the entire range of bust
ness. In comparison with the stimu-
lating power of higher wages in the
United States all the growth Of ouI
foreign trade is slight matter.
That is why the most selfish Ameri-
cans. even if far from any direct con-
nection with the~artisans and laborers
of the great industrial centers, may
well rejoice in the large additions made
this, spring 10 the multitude of Ameri-
can workingmen whose pay is better
now than it ever was before.

VIGOROUS FIGHT.
IL WEI Ee Made Against the AmerI-
can League by the National.

New York, April 26.-The National
league executive committee complet-
ed its first regular session at the
Fifth Avenue hotel last night. The
members decline to make public their
plans for conducting the fight against
the American league; but that a def
mite plan of action has been adopted
and that it will be thoroughly carried
out. the committee left no room to
doubt.
"There is no use denying that we
went over the matter from every
possible point of view," said James A..
Hart, of Chicago, last night, but to
make public what the outcome has
been, would be furnishing our enc
mics with our ammunition" Mr..
Hart admitted. however, that the Ma
tional league would follow up the vic
tory gained in the Pennsylvania SUI
preme court in the Laioie case.
John T.. Brush was seen after the
meeting and asked what plan had
been mapped out for fighting the
American league. Vie said: a plan
has been figured out, but just what it
is ! cannot say at this time. 1t would
injure our interests greatly to make
anything public just now. We pro-
pose to make vigorous fight, and no
one need be surprised to see many
of the old league players back in
their old clubs before many days have
noSGed "

DONE FOR THE CUBANS.
The Immense Outlay of Money and
Labor in the Work of Re-
construction.

In 1854 it was proposed at the Ostend
conference that the United States pay
Spain S12O,0O0.OOO for Cuba. Forty
four years later we entered upon a
war to free Cuba which cost us $780,
100000. We compelled Spain to reIin-
quish the sovereignty of the island.
We took possession of forts, harbors
and all public property. We sent the
Spanish soldiers home at our own ex-
pense. We paid the Cuban troops out
of our own treasury, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
We rebuilt and extended railroads.
constructed hundreds of miles of wag-
on roads, brought order out of revolu-
tionary chaos, reorganized the gov
ernment, protected the Cubans in all
their rights, maintained an army in
Cuba to preserve peace, and expended
some millions of dollars in building up
what Spaniards and Cubans had de-
stroyed.
After all this expenditure of money,
AFTER 'hree ana h"!f years of recon-
stTidction work, the United States, on
May 20, is to turn the island over, with
out money and without price, to the
Cubans. themselves for local self-gov-
ernment.
No other. nation ever did so much,
spent so much, for a struggling, aspir-
Ing people, but if Cuba, under the pro-
lection Of the United States, go for
ward with her people attached to free
institutions and with her trade fos-
tered by benefcent laws, then the
money will have been well used.

TO Make Study of Cancer.

The official heads of the medical
profession of Great Britain are deter
mined to unite for systematic in
vestigation into the causes, the pre-

according to the London correspond

a Disastrous Fire.

FindIay, o., April 2G.-Custar, an
oil town of 800 inhabitants. 20 miles
north of here, was totally destroyed
by fire last night, the origin of
which cannot be learned, owing to
the fact that telephone and tele-
graph wires are burned and all com
munication with the town is shut off.
A high wind was blowing, which pre-
vented any possible chance of saw
ing the town. Aid was sent from sur
rounding towns, but to no avail. The
loss, which will exceed 100000, in

Chrlst's Conversation Concerning the De-
 sttuetlon of Jerusalem. Mark, oh. I3,
 Mathew 24, Luke 2I, s-3S.
 His conversation occurred on Tuesday evening of Passion week on Mount Olives. The disciples call chrIst's attention to the buildings of the temple and the large stones used in their structure.
 Christ declares that one stone shall not be left upon another.
 The disciples ask for an explanation. Let us study especially the I3th chapter of Mark, verses .4-i3, are wholly occupied with things that will harpen before the fall of the temple. Verses Ia-z3 deal with things which will be precursors of the end, that Is, the downfall of the temple and of Judaism, as connected with the temple. Verses a 27 tell of the awful dlsas'ers of the nation which were to follow the over throw of the eltv and the establishment of Chrlst's kingdom in the place of Judaism.
 The language Is highly fiuratlve. closely resembling that which the prophets used to describe similar events. See Isaiah B; TO, s4:4; Ezekiel 32;7-S; Amos 80 On verse 26, see Daniel 7:I3.
 What is meant by the coming of the Son of man In verse 761
