TRADE REPORT.
tack.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade last week says:
Further improvement in the move
ment of freight and fuel makes the
general situation more favorable, al
though shippers are still constantly
complaining and pig iron furnaces are
not able to run steadily. Numerous
labor struggles are interrupting man
ufacturing, yet mills and shops are
producing freely as rule. Jobbers
and wholesalers are busy while spring
retail trade has opened very well in
many lines, notably wearing apparel
Permits for building operations show
large gains over last years figures
giving additional strength to lumber
and other materials. Prices of com
mOdities scarcely alter in the aggra
gate during February Foreign trade
continues very heavy. Conditions in
the iron and steel industry need nc
other elucidation than the plans fol
extensions announced by the United
States Steel corporation.
Spinners are growing very conserva
tive in regard to accepting contracts
calling for distant deliveries of cot
ton goods, owing to the uncertainty as
to what the raw material will cost
Dealings are small in woolens anc
worsteds, but mills are fully occupied
The spring clothing trade is satisfac
tory, especially in staple lines.

BASE BALL WAR is ON.
Pacific Northwest and Outlaw League
to Fight 1t Out.

Seattle, Wash, Marcn 11.-John Nc

loyalty to the Pacihc Northwest league
gave mis- liberty that ne InlsnL CARY
war into the enemy camp, mas com
menced work in san Francisco on d
baseball park which will be occupied
by the new San Francisco team in the
expanded PACING Northwest league.
rhis is a statement OF fact, not sur
mise of what may happen or is expect
ed to happen.
1t means that the Pacific Northwest
league intends to fight to the bitter
end and has mapped out plan in re-
TAXATION OF the Marsnall-Harris inva-
sion, which has for its object the ul-
innate control of baseball from one
end of the coast to the other.
The second club in California will
be located at Los Angeles. This will
give the Pacific Northwest league a
circuit of eight clubs and come pretty
near placing it in class with the big
ones. 1t is not claimed that it offers
ideal advantages from geographical
standpoint, because a club will trave
about 24OO miles in the journey from
Helena along the circuit to Los An
geles. In the beginning the league die
not have any intenuon of invading
California, but when the fight was
thrust on it it's back commenced to get
up and then came Honest John Nc
Closkey from the far east as fast n;
steam engines could carry him.
On the way he met H. B. Hopkins
Of Hyde & Co., a man who is more
than a millionaire.

CO., said Hopkins, provided l can &c
a franchise under the National associa
ton" He got it.
In Los Angeles a wealthy man nam
ed Coulter has taken the franchise ant
placed Charley Reilly, one of Los An
geles favorite players, in charge of tn
team. Grounds have been secured ant
already three of the old Los Angelo
team have come over to the Pacifi
Northwest league.

SIXTEEN MEN WERE DROWNED
HUDSON RIVER NEAR GLENS
FALLS FACE OF ACCIDENT.
A Boy Was Thought to Be Going Over
board the Boat; All the Men Rushed
to His Aid and Boat Tipped, Send
ing Them Into the Water-Were All
Italians.

Glens Falls, N. Y, March 9.-Nine-
Teen men are dead as result of the
capsizing of the boat used by the work
men at the Spier Falls, about 10 mics
west OF Glens Falls, on the Hudson
river. More than a thousand men are
employed there at present in the con-
struction of the power dam of the Hud-
son hlVer Power company. The boy
VINO had fallen overheard the previous
Jay seized one of the tackle ropes that
ran from the overhead cable to the
stern of the boat. Some of the men
started toward him, and instantly the
BOAT careened and filled. The Hudson
swollen by the fresh rains, bore a
score of more of the struggling men
down the stream. Many others sue
ceeded in catching hold of the boat,
which had righted, and they chung
there until they were pulled ashore.
The widest excitement prevailed.
but the current carried many of the
men toward shore, where they were
| rescued.
Teams were quickly harnessed and
loaded with skilled log drivers and sent
down along the river to points where
the bodies would likely be found. Doz-
ems of dinner pals, hats and coats
were fshed out, but it was nearly six
O'Clock before the first body was found
This was in a log jam two miles be-
low the dam, and was recognized as
that of an Italian interpreter.
The river for miles is being watched
and dragged in hopes Of finding the
bodies of the other victims. There
were but two or three English speak
ing men on the boat, the Italians being
all designated by number. The rolls
of the men were called and everybody
mas been accounted for except 16 men,
and it is certain that these men were
drowned.

in girls for immoral purposes exists

the effect that girls were sold like

Work of 57th Congress.

Alexander Mcdowell, clerk of the
house of representatives, has made
public an official compilation made by
Tally Clerk Wakefield, showing the
work done by the house during the
Fifty-seventh congress. 1t shows that
the longest day of the session lasted,
with recesses, 144 hours. during which
so roll calls were taken. The number
of bills and resolutions introduced in
the house during the two sessions of
the congress was 1920, and reports
were made on 2810 bills and resolu-
lions. The senate sent to the house
1880 senate bills and resolutions.
The house disposed of 2413 of the
measures originating with it, and of
1917 of the senate pills and resolu-
tions, making a total of 3430 bills and
resolutions acted on. Congress left on
it's calendar 4O5 house and 11S senate
bills and resolutions.
Fifteen members of the house died
during the congress, seven resigned
and Messrs. Rhea of Kentucky and
Butler Of Missouri were unseated, the
latter twice.

New York, March l0.-The Financier
last week said:
The money market has assumed a
position which may be described as
dencate. The New York banks are
loaned TO the limit, and under the cir
cumstahces nrm rates must prevail. Ii
is also worthy OF note that loans again
exceed deposits, condition OF analrs
that was last previously reported IN
September, when the crop movement
period was at its height. AS against
TINS it might be proper to add that the
banking capital and surplus OF New
YORK city, counting Doth banks ana
trust companies, has been increased
within the last year over $75,OOO,OUO.
Taking everything into consideration,
the future seems to involve harder
money, coupled with consequent in
creased attraction of foreign credit
and interior loans to this center. Both
seem certain under existing circum-
stances.
The decrease of $5,2S4,925 in re-
serves reported in the bank statement
lot me W66h just CAOoON VI h0S NAA~
excess surplus down to $666,975, by tar
the smallest recorded at this season
for many years, and the lowest actual
figure, with two exceptions, noted with
in II months. The banks lost in cash
$1O,l76,60 or almost twice the sum
indicated by the known movements for
the week. AS the previous statement
however, failed to snow the total loss
in cash, it is quite likely that the cur
rent exhibit reflects belated average
The decrease of $40, $50, 900 in loans
reveals the liquidation which is being
forced by banks in order to MAINTAIN
their position as respects reserves, ana
the heavy contraction of $19,566,7 700 II
deposits is thus accounted for in the
changes just noted.
The feature of the statement is, o.
course, the loss in cash. The greater
part of the shrinkage is traceable u
operations with the subtreasury, which
gained heavily on bank operations las
week, customs payment and interna
revenue collections. The movement o
money to the interior on balance Wa
inconsiderable.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
The Reason for His Calling an Extra
Session.

Session.
President Roosevelt sent the follow
ing message to the senate:
ITO the Senate: l have called the
senate in extraordinary session to con
slider the treaties concerning which 1t
proved impossible to take action dur
ing the congress just ended. l ask
your special attention to the treaty
iwth the republic of Columbia, secur-
ing to the United States a right to
Duild the isthmian canal, and to the
treaty with the republic of Cuba for
securing a measure of commercial re-
ciprocity between the two countries.
The great and far-reaching import
ance of these two treaties to the wei
fare of the United States, and the urg-
ent need for their adoption, requires
me to impose upon you the inconven
fence of meeting at this time.
