srads+reet's Report

New York, Jan. 24.-Bradstreets
says:
Previously existing favorable condi-
tons rule still. Spring trade shows
further expansion, particularly in dry
goods, such as linens, wash fabrics, un-
derwear and hosiery. Clothing, shoes
hardware and hardwood lumber are
active, and the volume Of shipments OF
spring goods to fill orders offers still an
other problem for the congested trans
portation companies to solve. A spell
Of mild weather has induced the be-
ginning Of the usual clearing sales OF
supplies OF winter goods by retailers.
1t has also tended to soften the acute-
ness of the anthracite coal shortage at
the east and cause a lowering In prices.
This, however. is regarded as tenn
porary only, another s~easonable cold
snap containing great possibilities In
the wa OF enhanced prices. The snow
covering on winter wheat is not uni
form, and Is, on the whole. rather scant,
but no unusual deterioration is res
ported.
Among manufactured products the
strength OF iron and steel is notable.
Mild weather weakens the price OF
country produce, such as butter and
eggs. Sugar is unsettled by uncer-
tainties as to reciprocity arrangements
with Cuba.
Textiles, particularly cotton and
wooden goods, occupy a strong position.
Raw cotton does not show much
change. Cotton goods are strong. Raw
wool is firmly held, and there is even
some quotable advance noted on the
week.

New York. Jan. PR. G. Dun s.
Co.'S weekly review of trade today
says:
Heavy transactions in merchandise

freight. The situation as to general
lines is aggravated by the precedence
given fuel over all other freight except
live stock and perisilable goods. Not
w~ithstanding the extensive increase in
transporting facilities during the past
year, some roads have been compelled
to decline consignments, n in many
cases where a large number OF cars
were desired, only one was provided.
Earnings thus far available for January
surpass last years by 5 per cent. 1t is
conspicuous in practically every sec
ton OF the country that despite high
prices, buying is liberal and Of the bet

a rule are more of a cash basis. De-
mand for building materials is unusual

lumber at the south have advanced. Al
tho fortunate sections are receiving a
better supply of fuel. the situation is
still serious, and many pig iron fur
'naces have been added to the idle list.
AS to the demand for finished pro-.
ducts, requirements are still pressing / n

IS THERE ANY
CHINESE FUND ?

Editor Advertiser: A complaint was
sworn to by Auditor Fisher which, in
words charges Wray Taylor with TAX
ing funds from the Chinese Immigra-
ton Fund" whereas, in truth and in
fact there is no such fund known to
the law. Such fund was in existence,
and all receipts from charges for per-
mits to Chinese went to the credit of
said fund, but which fund has been
covered into government realizations
on the books of the Treasurer and not
one cent stands to its credit. Taylor
never had charge of it to the extent of
3nything.
Taylor did haze charge of amounts

Work is steadily proceeding at the

a. H. Turner, manager of the company,
Us:
THE statement which I made a few
weeks ago in regard to the income on
the first crop of sisal seems to have
been misunderstood by many who are
interested in the outcome of our expert
ments.
II did not mean to convey the idea
that what we harvest this year Will
pay back to our company all the mon
eys expended during the period of its
development; but that the first crop
from that which is matured (Which is
only one fourth of the acreage plantedD
will pay it's pro rata from the total eX-
penditures from the first stroke on the
plantation to the cordage factory, be-
sides a fair profit on the investment.
And when it is known that the same
plant produces five or six successive
crops, with only the cost of milling and
freighting, think it is only fair con-
clusion to rate it as the best paying
agricultural proposition in the Terri
tory.
I'VE reach this conclusion through a
conservative basis. For instance, only
six cents per pound is allowed in this
estimate, though we have sold none for
less than eight cents"

FIRE DESTROYS
LODGING HOUSE
(From Thursdays Daily)


The Fort Street lodging house, con-
Quoted by w. f. Hah, was totally de-
stroyed by fire early yesterday morning.
The building, which stood at the corner
of Fort and Vineyard streets, was occu-
pied by a great many people, many of
them keeping house in the rooms, and
the Are was started in the Kitchen of
one of these dodgers, 1t is said by the
carelessness of a servant girl. She
lighted q fire in a coal oil stove, having
previously filled the stove and spilled
SOME oil on the floor, and then threw
Il lighted match into the oil. The place
was in Al blaze at once, and the girl ran
away, getting scared, without giving
any alarm. A lad who was passing,
Alfred Vierra, saw the blaze and turned
in an alarm, which brought the firemen
to the scene. They could do no more,
however, than prevent the spread of
the flames to the adjoining houses.
The Fort Street house was owned by
Mrs. Burgess. and was insured for
$4,000. The furniture in the place, be-
longing to Hall, was a total loss. 1t Is
said that the house was originally a

To Rattle Himself on.

Secaucus, N. j., December 81
Failing to secure wife through mat
rimonial agents, advertisements or in
the usual way, John W.!Miller, we'll
to-do farmer, has hit upon the origi-
nal plan of putting himself up at q
rattle among the women Of this dis
trict at % cents a chance, the winner
to take him, his savings and farm of
q acres, on the Snake Hill road.
Up to date Miller has sold I'll
tickets and says he could sell as many
more. Five colored women bought
tickets, and Miller is in despair lest
one Of them should prove the lucky
contender and carry off both him aud
his worldly goods. The rattle is to be
decided tomorrow night at Miller's
home. Afterward there is to be a
real old-fashioned New Years feast.
Miller is not venturing into the mat
rimolial heaven without experience.
He has been "hitched before" as he
expressed it. In 1899 his wife died
and he lately decided to make another
venture. He tried in the usual way,
but failed, perhaps because he has a
red beard and hair. He has tender
blue eyes, but the combination did
not convince any of the fair danes of
the county of his seriousness, not
withstanding his farm and other mon
etary attractions.
Miller is 81 years Ole, stands 8 feet,
8 inches, and is said to be well-to-do.
His strange idea of rAffling himself is
not the result, he says, Of a whim, but
because he wishes to E1d o wife. He
declares he will abide by the condi-
tions he made, but admits The. be Is
mighty nervous" for fear one Of the
FIVE negresses will draw the winning
chance.
