Bradstreet's Review.

New York, Get 9.-BradstreCt VIII say tomorrow of the state of trade:
 Trade conditions are still irregular. Bis mess is of fair volume, but not so active as a year ago, partly because oi the backward season, heavy rains interfering with crop movement and collections; Vex- atious labor troubles, past and present discouraging building operations and the spread of conservative teeling among puy- CTS based upon stock market llquldatlon and the feeling that high prices Of many products will tend, if 1t has not already done so, to automatically check consum2- tion.
 Many underlying conditions are. how ever, still favorable. First in importance should be reckoned the decidedly better tone of advices from the corn crop, which has developed larger yield, and oettef quality than was earlier deemed possloie. Special inquiry by Bradstreet points to a yield of at least 2.250. 900, 900 bushels of grade generally far superior to that Of year ago. Lower prices for this ana otn, CT cereals ard for cotton, whose yieId vii be smaller than seemed proba ble a month ago, seem likely to help our back ward export trade in these productions and improve the foreign exchange out look. Collections, too. though backward. are improving as the grain and cotton movements expand. The volume or busi- ness doing by the railroads is excellent though the familiar car shortage trouble is looming up despite Improvements Il terminal facilities. The growing weak ness in pig iron. though on the face Of tt unfavorabIe will have the effect of shut ting off production to the extent of 1.OO0,OO0 tons for the last quarter of the year. and of ending for foreign imports. The i'm portant industries, those of shoe manu- facture and anthracite coal, have been and are doing well. though margins of profit are smaller. The downward swing in the raw materials of industry Is, in fact. a significant feature.
 The best trade advices come from the Southwest, notably at Kansas City and St. Louis; from the Western sections, such as Nebraska and Iowa, where corn Is turning out better than expected from the Pacific Coast, where trade Is still un- oualihedly good, despite the slowness of new wheat and other crops to move. and from portions of the South. such as the Mississippi Valley, where present prices for cotton offer good return for fair yields Heavy rains have interfered With threshing of spring wheat in the North west and retarded trade and collections, while weather at the East has also been unfavorable to trade, reduced at some large cities by impaired buying abinty growing out of strikes. New York and Philadelphia business with dry goods job bers Is backward, and supplementary de- mand for cotton. woolen and knit goods from wholesalers Is unsatisfactory Gen. tral Western trade reports are spotted Chicago reports demand for dry goods tapering off Louisville reports the to- bacco trade industry unsatisfactory and 100 600 hogsheads of Western tc5acco in warehouses at Ilyerpool without offers.

American Ideas in Mexico.

In thousand ways Mexico naively tries to be American. Twenty-three years ago she adopted an American circus. and since then she has had no greater pet than a certain American clown. She has the wireless telegraph across the Gulf of California. She uses typewriters far more generally than Paris. She even indulges in the soaring dreams of pro- which announces a bee-line service be- tween Mexico City and Washington There are cities almost American cities, such as Monterey and the capital.

Tn Toledo. Ohio. they have an ordinance which requires that "a person who shall take a seat running crosswise shall, when another person enters, move up, and keep moving. us passengers enter, until the seat is filled" Very well; now suppose the seats are only open at one end, and the man occupying the end seat opposite the entrance wants to get off first; will he not cause as much inconvenience and trouble to others as he would if he had taken the first seat and forced others to crowd past him? Or suppose the seats extend across the car and are open at each end; shall the man who gets on first keep moving up till he reaches the center and then stop? or shall he move up till he reaches the other end and then be called a hog by some one who wants to get on at that end? There's trouble any way one looks at 1t.

The ease with which a shrewd and plausible swindler can carry on his work is shown by a recent exposure in Oklaho- ma, where new scheme has been worked on the people. The man claimed that by the use of a certain powder or starch, he transforms ordinary hve-cent cotton cloth into a fabric as fine and durable as the best Irish linen, and hundreds bit at the bait, some of them paying as much as s per yard for the doctored goods. It is an easy way to get rch. and there is always a crop of suckers.

 Northern man and a Republican, has this to say:
 There are thousands of white Republi- cans in this State who are such because they believe in the main principles of that party, and don't. allow the black streak to bother them. The black and tan Re- publicans for revenue" cannot control those white voters, for they can do with out office, if taking office means to dis avow their white principles. The strength of the black and tans" Is just that of the offices given them by a misguided Presi- dent. In this neck of the piny woods. 'thems our sentiments"
 We willingly admit that there are thous- ands of white Republicans in Alabama who are such from principle and who have no hope of sharing in the offices, but as we view the situation, they are politically powerless. The black-and-tans have the sympathy and support of the administration, and we predict that they will control the organization and the of- fees. If the white Republicans can con trol their next State Convention and send an anti-Roosevelt delegation to the Ma tional Convention. we shall began to have hopes for them.

GETTING ITSELF MIXED.

The Seattle Post-Intellingencer, loyal Republican, has mixed itself, so to speak. In its issue of 1st inst, 1t declared that mo man is worthy of the name of Amer ican who writes or talks against the en- forcement of his country's laws" That was good doctrine which good citizens endorse. but only three or four days be- fore that sentence was published, the same paper took occasion to give It's opin- ion of those who had censured the Presi- dent for carrying a pistol. and in the course of its editorial it said:
 There may be people to whom the idea of the President of the United States de . lending himself with his own weapons but the average sane American would rather learn that MT. Roosevelt had shot an assailant than that he had fallen vic- tim to an assassin.
 In commenting on that expression, The
 Seattle Times said:
 This is the same argument that Is used ' by every man who carries a "gun," and | is no more justifiable in the case of the President than of any other man. It Is | jections to 1t that ought to be sufficient. l But what must be said of the person who | is so steeped in sycophancy as to defend
 the violation of law, simply because the | President is the violator?
 The Times had the best of its neighbor
 in that reply. and its position is the car
 rect one. The lapse of the President has
 practically ceased to be subject of inc
 terest. but the paper which defends a
 fragrant violation of law because the vio- | all who write or speak against the en. forcement of law, can hardly hold itself
 up as a model of consistency. at least
