ONLY Disturbing FACTORS.
Dun's Says Weather and Wages
Continue to Effect Bust

New York, May 17.-R G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade, issued
today, said in part:
Weather and wages continue the
only seriously disturbing factors in
the business situation. Excessive
moisture and low temperature made
the crop outlook more uncertain, and
much depends on a continuance OF
prosperity in the agricultural sec
tons. On the other hand, record
breaking distribution of pay in the
Pittsburg region accelerated retail
trade, while resumption of wooden
and other mills added largely to the
active force. Transporting lines con-
tinue to make splendid exhibits. rail

May exceeding those of a year ago
by 81 per cent and surprising the
same weeks earnings in 1900 by 1873

As was indicated BY weekly reports,
pig iron production attained a new
record for the month OF April at
] .503,326 tons and the weekly capac-
ity Of furnaces in blast on May ], &C.

or other calamity interferes. Quota
tions continue to vary widely. accord
ing to date Of delivery, and there is
less spot business owing to scanty
supplies and to the growing tendency
Of consumers to place orders for fu-
ture delivery. There Is now very lit
tie evidence of buyers holding off for
break. Rails and structural sup
plies are ordered freely for delivery
next year.
More liberal deliveries of wooden
goods are reported, showing that
fewer looms are idle. The best de-
mand is for staple lines of mems
wear, and medium grades of fancy
woplens.
While it is generally agreed that
there has been much improvement in
the winter wheat states since the
opening of the month, prices became
somewhat firmer upon the publica-
ton Of the official report Of condition
on May 1.
Exports for 10 months of the crop
year assure the heaviest outgo ever
recorded, even if the last two months
make poor exhibits. For the past
week exports were 3,499,764 bushels,
-four included, against 4,O23.246 year
ago. Corn advanced on lighter re.
ceipts and reports of slow progress in
planting.
Failures for the week numbered 228
in the Emitted States, against 1T last
year, and II in Canada, against 19 a
year ago.

THE PROFITS OF
I'll STEEL TRUST.

In a proceeding for an Injunction to
prevent the great Steel Trust from is
suing additional bonds 70 the amount OF
s200,000,0OO, President Charles Schwab,
in behalf OF the corporation, has testified
that its earnings in The fifteen months
.f it's existence have been in excess OF
10 per cent of the entire capital stock.
This King Of tho Trusts has author
lied capital stock to the amount OF sl,.
100, 100000, and has already issued bonds
to the amount Of 1901, 600, 900, making a
total capitalization OF sl,40I, 100000.
This vast total is very largely water,
merely initiation, representing no actual
property or tangible asset originally
owned or since acquired by the corpora
ton. The capitalization it confessed ly
not based on visible property but on
earning capacity. In other words, it
does not represent actual value but the
ability OF the Trust to pay di Tidends on
stock and interest on bonds. This is
another way of expressing its power to
cinch the public by controlling the
.Ziome market, putting up prices and
forcing its small fry competitors to con-
form to it's schedules.
II the Trust has earned more than
10 per cent on its capital stock, it has
plundered the people to the extent OF at
least 8 per cent on 81, 100, 100000, assum
ang that Schwab testified to net earnings.
And 8 per cent on that amount is $751;
100000, a large sum to be extorted from
the pockets OF the people in order that
the Trust may flourish like a green bay
tree and put forth new leaves in the
shape OF bonds for confidIng investors
10 gather.
This mammoth Trust is made up OF n
number OF great corporations, which
were practically merged in the Amer
lean Steel Company, by its taking over
their stock and assuming control Of
fheir properties. 1t is u consolidation OF
ownership and not a combination Of
independent concerns, though the or
iginal constituent corporations still
hnve a legal existence. The total actual
value OF the properties thus consolidat-
ell was less than 5000, 1000, 200.
One OF the great plants embraced by
the Trust was that OF Andrew Carnegie,
who sold out on his own terms, taking
his pay in bonds to an amount about
twice the market value Of his property.
The Trust simply had to have it.

Hints for Preserving Fruits.

IL fruit is very juicy, avoid adding
water to it when canning. The less wu-
ter that has to be used the finer the
flavor OF the preserve bad the more
beautiful it's color.
Work quickly and keep a steady
watch on the kettle OF boiling fruit. 1t
hollis MP very quickly, and seeded fruit,
il left unstirred, burns READILY. II watch
iug the preserve kettle is an impossible.
ity. keep an asbestos ma under it. This
will prevent burning.
Never touch cooking fruit with a
spoon or fork which is Of my material
except silver, wood or granite. y tin
spoon may ruin the color and flavor OF
Il whole kettle OF fruit.
Do not boil iollcy Il minute after it
has begun to jell. If you do you will
have n gummy syrup instead Of n
jelly.
There are all sorts OF methods for
covering jams aud jcllies-paste paper
over the top. covering with Il thin sheet
Of Gotten batting, pouring on paratinc,
%sprinkling with sugar. The simplest
way is to lap on top Of the cooler pre-
serve Il round OF tissue paper dipped in

put on the metal lid.
Try II little OF your sugar to make Il
syrup before commencing the canning
process. Ii II blush gray scum gathers
on top after the boiling, send the = ugar
back to the groceryman with an order
for Il better quality. The est sugar
obtainable Is a necessity for fruit pre-.
serving.
It is much better economy to bo gen.
