Trade Report.

R. G. Dun's Weekly Review OF
Trade last week says:
Another week of good weather has
brought out large volume of bust
ness, many manufacturers receiving
urgent requests for immediate ship
ments. Floods have caused serious
losses at few points on the Missis-
sippi, and traffic was interrupted on
railways in that vicinity, but ON the
whole the freight situation is more
satisfactory than at any previous time
this year. Quicker transportation has
relieved the fuel pressure and the iR-
dustrial situation would be unprece.
dentedly favorable were it not for the
prevalence of labor disturbances.
Railway earnings in March increased
10 per cent over last year and Eli
per cent as compared with 1901. Dur
ing the month of March prices Of COM
modities, as measured by Dun's IN
dex number, declined to $99,267. as
compared with $101.067. This de-
crease is only seasonable and is abour
the same as occurred in the CORE
spending period last year.
Increased firmness is recorded in
the market for footwear, particularly
as to mems kid shoes. Leather ia
firm, but comparatively quiet.
Business failures in the United
States were 173, and in Canada Is.

WEAKNESS OF GREATNESS.
How Emperor William Came to Win at Halle.

Chicago Tribune.
 When Cardinal Richelieu wrote plays he wrote exceedingly bad ones. But the critics of the court of Louis XIII. united in calling them masterpieces of grace and elegance, When Louis XIV. played ten his, which he could not play well be- cause he was small weak and badly trained athlete. he invariably defeated his courtiers. after what seemed to him a hard battle. When Frederick the Great inGlited absurd letters and absurder verses to Voltaire. that astute Frenchman pro- nounced them both profound and grace full When Napoleon was being conveyed to St Helena on the Bellerophon he loved to play ecarte in the evening, and the faithful few of his diminutive court always lost to him, though some of them later set it down in their memoirs that the emperor played so wretchedly as to tax their ingenuity to make him win.
 This prerogative of greatness to win through the courtesy of dependents seems to be enjoyed by the present German em- peror The emperor is now engaged, his controversy with Frau Wagner having resulted successfully. in military maneu- vers at Halle, Prussia. Sunday night, af- ter devotions. he sat up late with one of his generals studying the battle of Ross bach, which was won in 1757 by Frederick the Great over the French prince, De Soubise. Clever cavalry work by the Prussians decided that event. Monday morning the present war lord rose early. feeling a great day was before him, and that ere eve his assumed enemies. the saxons, would be mostly in non-existent field hospitals. He was going to win the field of Halle. as the greatest soldier among the Hohenzollerns won the field of Rossbach hundred and fifty years ago by clever cavalry work. So he put himsel fat the head of 12.0OO Prussian horsemen and ,galloped down a dusty highway straight at the Saxon lines, which lay across 1t. The dust showed anybody within ten miles where the 12,OOO were. in what direction they were going and how fast. The Saxons were well in trenched and had their machine guns in a position to pour a savage cross fire on the charging Prussians. In real war, says the account the emperor's forces would have been decimated." But William charged on needless of theoretical casual tiles, remembering Rossbach, but forget ting that Soubise had neither Mannlichers nor machine guns. And the umpires awarded the emperor the victory Nat urally.

CU1DlO0s
 The House convened at o'clock with sixty three members present. The joint resolution adopted by the Sem
 ate providing for a recess of the Legisla- | ture was brought in. The resolution was | referred to the Committee on Rules. Mir. Hoffman of Mobile attempted to get | up the bill providing a stenographer for | the solicitor of Mobile.
 | Mir. Rich of Mobile said that it was | understood that the Mobile delegation l would hold conference and try to agree upon the bill. The conference, he said,

 Montgomery's Assistant Solicitor.
 Mir. Arlington of Montgomery. called
 up House bill TO. creating the office of Assistant Solicitor of the County of Mont- gomery. The bill originally provided | that the Assistant Solicitor should receive
 a salary of q. 800 annually. The bill was l amended by the committee making the | salary q 800 annually. The bill increased | the duties of the assistant solicitor The
 committees amendment was adopted. On it's passage Mir. Maner of Montgom-
 cry made his fight against the bill. The cnle1 purpose or the Dfll, ne said, was to increase the salary of the deputy solicitor
 of Montgomery County, although 1t en- | larged his duties. The deputy solicitor | until 1898 only received $eoo annually. It
 was then increased to x.ooo and now 1t | was proposed to make further increase He was unalterably opposed, he said. to placing any additional burden upon the County of Montgomery. He quoted figures to show that the county was under a heavy burden for the administra- tion of justice.

Strength of Egg Shells.
Washington Times.

washington Ilnes'
 member of the staff of the Smithsonian Institution has been experimenting on the re- sistance of egg shells A frame was construct ed into which the eggs fited perfectly and the weight was applied. Almost every one has tried the experiment of crushing an egg shell between the hands and failed. but they will hardly be prepared for the results worked ou' by the scientific experiments here given.
 Eight ordinary hens eggs were found only to give way under q pressure. applied all around, of between 400 and 675 pounds on the square inch of surface. When the stresses were applied internally to twelve eggs that yielded at pressures of thirty-two to sixty-hve pounds per square inch. The pressure required merely to crush the eggs was between forty and seventy-five pounds per square inch. The average thickness of the shells was thirteen thousandths of au inch.
