TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet5s report of last week 5
trade is as follows:
The great underlying features of
trade and industry remain as favor
able as heretofore. Bradstreet's quar-
terly returns of failures, bank clear
ings and prices all point TO a heavy
business having been done in the first
three months of the year at fair prof
it's. while most indications as 10 crop
prospects favor good summer and
fall business. Cooler weather and the
natural reaction from the before Eas
ter activity has duieted retail trade
east and west. while heavy rains and
floods have interfered with demand
and movement in the south. Jobbing
distribution is naturally less active
than earlier in the season. but is still
of liberal volume. Practically unani-
nous good reports come from the win
ter wheat crop. which has improved
instead of deterioration from its au-
tumn provise. Especially good reports
come from the central west and the
southwest. Special promise Of activ-
ity is held out this year in the building
trades, which are active buyers for
white and yellow pine. hardwoods and
hardware. A country wide activity in
this latter trade is reported. the only
difficulty being the obtaining of sup
plies fast enough.
Price changes for the week were I'M
important.

the week aggregated 4.446.91S bushels.

Wheat exports from July l, 1901. to
date (40 weeks) aggregate 19S,S45.95S /
bushels. against 154.622,117 bushels

DISCUSSION RESUMED.
Legislative Appropriation Bill Given
the Riulnt of Way.

Washington, Feb. 8.-This was the
day in the house which belonged under
the rules to the committee on war
claims, but Mr.. Mahon (Pa.), chairman
of that committee, announced that he
did not desire to antagonize the leg
islative appropriation bill and asked
that the day following the disposal of
the oleomargarine bill be given to
that committee. There was no objec-
tion and the order was made. The
house then went into committee of the
whole and resumed the consideration
of the legislative appropriation bill.

the governments colonial policy. Mr..
Newlands declared that his resolu-
tion did not contemplate the perpetua-
tion of the colonial policy but it was
the declared intention to have Cuba

said that immediate relief was neces-
sary to prevent crisis in Cuba. .

that the United States government
is acting with Japan and Great Britain
in resisting any action by Russia and
China in the shape Of a Manchurian
treaty that would threaten the inter

portant section of the east. The state
department has made perfectly clear
to Russia it's purpose to retain what
ever trade advantages it has in Man
churia; and it's determined attitude in
that matter probably has prevented
the summary closing of Manchurian
ports to any but Russian trade. The
questions now involved, namely those
relating to mining concessions and the
right to construct railroads in Man
churia, are regarded as only secondary

ENLARGE MANY POSTS.
One of the Results Of the Army Board
Meetinu, @

Meeting.
Chicago, Feb. 8.-Major General
Otis, commanding the department of
the Lakes, has returned from Wash
ington, where he was in attendance on
the sessions of the army post board
called by the secretary of war to con-
slider the deeds of the different army
posts,
AS to the recommendations of the
board General Otis said it would rot
be proper to speak in advance of the
report to the secretary of war. It is
understood, however, says The Chron
icle, that the barracks at Fort Sheri-
dan will be enlarged and made modern
in every respect. Since the United
States became a world power and
troops are required for work abroad,
the posts throughout the country have
been found too small for the accommo-
dation of the regiments and batteries
recruited to fighting strength. In ad-
dition to Fort Sheridan many of the
other army posts will be enlarged
That the work at the fort will be
undertaken at once is said to be as
sured. Owing to orders from head
quarters the troops now quartered at
the fort will leave shortly for the
Philippines. Their places will not be
taken until the soldiers ordered from
the Far East have returned. In the
interim the carpenters and masons
will have almost undisputed posses
sion of the place.
