TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report on trade last
week:
The future may be said of last week
to have profited at the expense of the
present. In other words, current wealth
er conditions, such as heavy snowfalls,
east, west and north, tend to check
buying except of purely seasonable
goods at retail and to limit slightly the
volume OF demand in wholesale lines.
On the other hand. the covering of the
entire northern half of the country
with blanket of snow has bettered
the condition of the winter sown crops,
and the outlook for spring trade, as
whole, has therefore been greatly i'm
proved. No diminition in confidence
in a large spring business is reported
Among the metals the feature
has been the marked change in the
copper situation, several sharp upward
movements occurring, with the close
l 5-Sc higher than the lowest publish
ed price and &c higher than the lowest
rumored sales.
Considerable irregularity is noted in
prices of cereals. hog products and
cotton.
Wheat (including flour) exports for
the week aggregate 3.7O2,36S bushels.
as against 3,639,679 bushels last week
and 100000 bushels in this week last
year.
Wheat exports from July 1, 1901, to
date, 81 weeks, aggregate l65.3 500
bushels. as against 114,77S,372 bushels
last season.
Wool is in steady demand and firm.
with stocks of desirable goods well re-
duced.
Business failures in the United States
for the week number 3O3, as against
292 last week. 23S in this week last
year and III in 1900.
Failures in Canada number 4S, as
against 81 last week and q in this
week year ago.

for congress at the convention of the
first district Democrats at Music Hall.
declines to accept the nomination.
1t was argued at the convention last
night that Mr. Granger would not ac-
cept the nomination. but friends OF the
gentleman and those who were pushing
his candidacy protested that he would
accept and he was nominated.
The first knowledge Mr.. Granger had
that he was nominated was CLEANED
from the papers this morning. He says
that yesterday afternoon after having
carefully thought over the matter he
notified a member of the convention that
he could not accept and requested that
his name be not presented to the con-
vention.
The mayor in declining says that while
he deeply appreciates the honor of the
nomination. which is for an Office OK
highest honor and one attractive to any
man deeply interested In public affairs
yet his personal affairs are such as TO
make Its acceptance tapossible. just as It
made impossible his acceptance OF a re-
nomination for the office OF mayor.
Mayor Granger conveyed his decina-
central committee by the following let
ter:

Good Legal Opinions That the
News Suggestion is
Feasible.

Herman W. Chaplin. one OF the best
known members OF the Massachusetts,
bar, at a meeting of the Rhode Island
Business Mems association. held at its
rooms last evening. In an address en-
titled Remedies for the Cosi Situation"
presented as form for relief practically
the method for procedure which The News
advocated on Thursday.
Mr.. Chaplin has given good deal of
thought and attention TO a solution OF the
problem, which is now the chief Thought
OF every citizen, and he has gone so far
dealing with the conditions and the pos
sibility Of relief through the courts. He
has naturally consulted some ~ the best
men before the Massachusetts, bar and
he has found. he stated there was uni
formity of opinion that the means advo-
Gated by him were founded on good legal
principles.

the best OF legal principles. He quoted
a number Of other we'll known lawyers
who were OF the same belief. He talked
for about an hour and half and his line
of argument was chiefly on the legal
aspect of the matter.
The rooms were Wen filed. there being
perhaps 100 men present, all OF whom
were deeply interested and concerned.
Among them were Governor Kimball,
Mayor n. l.. D. Granger. Colonel Frank
T. Easton, Hon. Charles r. German and
a number OF lawyers and business men.
The speaker was presented by the presi-
dent of the association. Aaron b. Nc
Crillis, and he first briefly reviewed tn,
existing conditions In the Pennsylvania
coal fields the needs Of the people and
the necessity for immediate relief
These conditions have been so widel,
discussed and so generally are they
known that II Is not necessary for repeti

President Roosevelts first effort to set
tie the anthracite strike has Tailed utter
" through the firm refusal OF the opera
tors to submit the controversy 10 the
presidents arbitration. as proposed by
the miners committee. The suggestion OF
the operators and railway presidents that
the federal power be exerted In the
courts. as in the Debs case. with the en-
ployment of the regular army 10 maintain
order had already been considered by
the president and at least temporarily
laid aside on such high legal opinion as
that of Attorney General Knox and Sec
retary Root.
Greatly disappointed as the president Is
at the apparently dismal outcome OF the
conference. he feels that he has accom-
nl,shea n great deal in having the issues
clearly stated by both sides. and, while
no further conferences will probably be
held President Roosevelt is as determined
as ever that coal shall move freely with

next step has been hinted to his visitors

deadlock, a basis of compromise In the In
terest of the public welfare and humanity

II Is the impression that the president,

the miners would abide by any decision
10 relieve the famine which the president
may make. will take further action IN the

MrrcHELLs ATTITUDE.

The president had no sooner finished
reading his appeal than John Mitchell
rose and offered to order the miners
back to the mines and have all differen-
ces between them and the operators re-
ferred to A board of arbitration selected
by the president. He also stated that
the miners would abide by any and all
decisions by such board OF arbitrat tors,
even should these decisions be against
them on every point at issue.
The coal operators took four hours TO
consider the presidents appeal and Mr..
Mitchells offer. When they returned 10
the White House 10 announce that they
would not treat with Mitchell or any
board OF arbitration. nor would they rec
ognize the right OF Mitchell to make any
suggestions 10 them through the presi-
dent of the United States.
MR.. MITCHELLS STATEMENT.
Mr.. Mitchell then made a statement. as
follows:
At the conference yesterday morning,
we, the accredited representatives OF the
Anthracite Coal Mine Workers, were
much impressed with the views you ex-
pressed, and the danger TO the welfare
OF our country from prolongation of the

out Conscious of the responsibility rest

society; conscious of our obligations To
the 10000 mine workers whom we have
the honor to represent. we have, after
most careful consideration, and with the
hope OF relieving the situation and di-
vexting the sufferings and hardships
which would inevitably follow In the

| pose a resumption of coal mining upon
| the lines hereinafter suggested.
Before doing so. Mr.. President. we de-
