to give way before the vigorous efforts of traffic managers, the situation became further complicated by the worst snow storm of the season and the movement of merchandise was again interrupted. Latest figures of gross earnings show the usual gains, February thus far surpass- ing by 17.6 per cent last year when unusual delay was caused by severe storms.
 Increased cost of operation, however, necessitates further advances in rates. wholesale houses dealing in staples have received liberal orders.
 Conditions in the silk industry are shown by enormous imports of raw ma terial and one large spinner has recently rejected orders sufficient to occupy his plant for two years. Bide are invited for extensive building operations glVing strength and activity to materials and furnaces are nearing completion. and others will be finished within six months, the actual output of pig iron decreases because fuel cannot be secured. Last situation has been succeeded by a de- cided set back, many more furnaces be- ing compelled to bank through lack or fuel. Reports of agreements to supply quantities of coke to favored plants are denied There is little disposition to an- ticipate pig iron requirements far into the future however, as there Is always the hope of a restoration of approxlmate- ly normal conditions. Steel olllets are arriving from abroad and find a market at interior mills, but on domestic buei- ness for future delivery there is some discrepancy between bid and asking
 prices. As the season advances there are more contracts available for the erec' tion of buildings, bridges and railway ex- tension. strengthening the market for structural material which Is one Of the | firmest features. A heavy tonnage ol | plates, sheet and pipe has been sold a, | fru figures while more Canadian raj | contracts have gone to European mills. Quieter conditions prevail in the mar l kets for drygoods.
 Failures this week numbered 24f In the | Tinted States against 25O a year ago and | 26 in Canada as compared with 31 last year.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
SPRING TRADE FAR IN AID,
 VANCE OF A YEAR AGO.
The Price Situation, Taken as { Whole, is a Most Remarkable one-Collections are
 Rather Better.

New York. Feb. 2o-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Winter weather has retarded but not checked spring jobbing trade which, de- spite drawbacks is still far in advance of year ago. Retail has been more mo- ticeably affected and buying has been lessened temporarily. This also further Rccentuated the transportation problem. The favorable side of the weather ques- ton is unquestionably the heavy snow which has covered the entire surface of the winter wheat belt. putting that plant temporarily at least beyond danger from seasonable changes: Other developments of the week have been mostly favorable. The price situation inded taken as a whole is a remarkable one. Country produce, particularly butter and eggs, has displayed exceptional strength while the great majority of staples retain all the steadiness except where further advances are noted as in case of the cotton goods which are very strong at the highest prices in years. Collections are rather better as a whole.
 Leather is reported quiet except at the west where considerable sales at full prices are reported by tanners. The suger market has been unsatisfactory. but the net changes on the week has been a slight change on refined, despite stories that jobbers are cutting prices. Coffee remains steady at close to the lowest price on record.
 Consumption still leads production ir
 
 ed materials are in active demand, but general complaint Is that four to six weeks Is used up in making deliveries in- stead of five to ten days. Increased in- uuiry Is reported by Southern furnace Interests and quickly available iron finds a ready market, but the scarcity of this article limits business. Foreign holders of iron and steel are rather firmer ir their views. In finished products, plates bars and structural material and pipe note exceptional activity. The vexing trans portaticn problem, however. overhangs the entire trade, and no really new de- velopments, certainly none in the direc- ln of lower prices, are possible until this situation Is improved.
 Wheat including flour exports for the week ending February 18th, aggregate R,73,752 bushels, against 2,S56,439 last week.
 Corn exports aggregate 3,731, 457 bushels against 1,830,170 lost week.
 Cotton reached and passed 10c this week in New York, New Orleans and Liver pool Whtile this may have been largely manipulative, additional strength was given by the reduced movement of croT claimed to be due to bad weather. Over and beyond all, however was the strength imparted by the active demand for finish ed products reported, 1t being a sellers market for nearly all classes of cotton goods The advance in the price of cot ton yarns Is reported to have discouraged business but manufacturers offering to buy and have done a fair business. Wool has been dull and firm on reports for ac- tive employment for mill machinery and some available stocks of raw material.

Jack Herzfeld Hurt by Negro

While playing on Selma Street yester- day afternoon, Jack Herzield, aged 13 became involved in a quarrel with a ne- gro boy and in the fight which followed, Jack was struck on the head and se- verely injured by a missile thrown by the negro and the negro was, it is said, cut by young Herzfield.
 Herzheld and some companions were playing football on Selma Street when the negro boy, whose name is not known, passed by. As the ball was kicked off, it accidentally struck the negro, who, there upon. cursed one of the boys.
 Jack Herzfield told him he had to apolo- gize, but the negro drew his knife and advarced upon the white boy. Jack got knife from one of his companions and the two came together. It is said Herz- field cut the boy quite badly, but was himself wounded, his head being badly cut by a piece of terra cotta pipe thrown by the negro.
