NEW YORK. March 29-R. G. Dun s
Co.'s weekly review of trsde says:
Favorable weather greatly facilitated
Easter retail trade, the volume of trans
actions in all lines of wearing apparel
being of exceptional magnitude. Ac.
tiyi,y was by no means restricted to
these special lines, however, the gen
eral distribution Of mertka ndise ex-
ceeding that Of previous seasons, with
prices well maintained.
Demand for an eight hour day after
May l by the blast furnace men was
the most disturbing feature in the iron
and steel industry, and this is not caus-
ing much alarm, as an agreement will
probably be reached during the inter.
vcning month. Production is now be.
yond all previous records, and the
movement of coke is ample, although
the early opening Of lake navigation
may withdraw some of the transport
ing facilities which cannot well be
spared.
A severe reaction occurred in cotton,
due entirely to the excessive speeu-
lative purchases, which made the mar
ket top heavy.
Weakness appeared In the cereals
early in the week. when there was Il
certain unanimity about encouraging
weather reports and increased acreage.
Subsequently there was a partial re.
covery owing to less cheerful news
from Kansas and oklahoma, but the
net result for the week was decided
ly lower range of prices.
According to an analysis of the off,
ciul returns by a Liverpool authority,
there will be only 10000, 900 bushels of
wheat in this country at the close Of
the crop year.
Failures for the week numbered 2O5
in the United States against 206 last
year and ~ in Canada against 20 last
year.

From Mobile Register of January 4. The secohd day of the bicentennial celebration of the founding of Mobile. the first capital of Louisiana, was no less successful than the first day. and the trip to Twenty-seven Mile Bluff to dedicate the granite shaft to mark and commemorate the spot on which Fort Louis de la Mobile was erected, was a success in all its component parts. The combined assembiage took up the march to the site of Fort Louis de la Mobile. right on the crown of the bluff overlooking the Mobile River. The cere- monies were to begin at noon. and the time before that hour arrived was given over to the search in the blum for bricks from the old powder magazine. which 7 were unearthed by Chairman Butt on the occasion of the visit of the committee to the blum to locite the spot for the placing of the stone which was to com- memorate the founding of the fort 2l0 wears ago: There were great many of theue curiously shaped clay bricks un- earthed and distributed to those who de- sired them as souvenirs. The crown of the bluff is a small table lard. which Is covered with a growth of broom sedge. and the stone is erected at the highest point on this plateau, a few yards east of an immense hickory, whose leaf buds have just begun to swell and whose limbs are festooned with long strands of Spanish moss.
