New York, Jan. 23.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Heavy transactions in merchandise
are reported, but there is much com,
plant regarding the slow movement
Of freight. The situation as to gen
eral lines is aggravated by the prece-.
dence given fuel over all other
freight except live stock and perish
able goods. Notwithstanding the ex-
tensive increase in transporting ia
cilities during the past year, some
roads have been compelled to decline
consignments, and in many cases
where a large number of cars were
desired only one was provided.
Buying Is Liberal.
It is conspicuous in practically
every section of the country that.
despite high prices, buying is liberal
and of the better qualities of goods,
while dealings as rule are on more
of a cash basis. Demand for building
materials is unusually brisk for the
season, and prices of lumber at the
south have advanced. Although for

the fort are low and near the water

FAMINE IN SWEDEN.
Thousands of Persons in Frozen, Dea-
olate Region Face to Face
with Starvation.

Gellivare, North Sweden, Jan. Co.
The extreme restitution prevailing in
the famine district of northern Sweden
can hardly be realized without visit
of personal inspection. Here in this
desolate, frozen region thousands Of
human beings are face to face with
actual starvation. Seventy thousand
persons are living on less than famine
rations. If relief supplies should
slacken temporarily thousands would
die ST hunger. There are in this dis
trict 100000 head of cattle, horses and
sheep. These animals could, of course,
be slaughtered for food, but with the
live stock gone the condition of the
people would be hopeless for years to
will be needed to keep the people alive
until the new harvest is reaped next
August, and to purchase seed for the
spring planting. The Swedish govern
ment is facing the problem resolutely,
and will buy and import seed if enough
can be found raised far enough north
in America to ripen in the high alti-
tudes OF o"eden. IN spite OF the ne
cessity of preserving the live stock
the starving people are killing their
focks and herds and even their mich

New York, Jan. 26.-President
Roosevelt has contributed $500 to the

Finished Products i'm Demand.
AS to the demand for finished prod
ucts, requirements are still pressing
in railway equipment, both structural
and rolling stock, and it is stated
that orders have been placed for as
many tons of steel rails As were pro-
duced in the full year 1902. Steel for
buildings, bridges and ships find
ready market, and implement makers
are becoming more active New or
ders for merchant steel are light, but
old contracts are still numerous.
Leading Staples Firm.
Firmness has characterized the
course of the leading staples, an
abundant demand being in evidence,
while available supplies are restricted
by traffic conditions.

Bradstreet's report says:
Bradstreet's Repor.
Previously existing favorable condi-
tions still rule. Spring trade shows
further expansion, particularly in dry
goods, such as linens, wash fabrics,
underwear and hosiery. Clothing,
shoes, hardware and hardwood lum-
Der are active, and the volume of
shipments of spring goods to fill or
ders offers still another problem for
the congested transportation compa-
MES to solve. A spell OF mild weather
has induced the Beginning of the usu-
al clearance sales of surplus winter
goods by retailers. It has also tend
ed to soften the acuteness of the an
thracite coal shortage at the East
and cause lowering in prices. This,
however, is regarded as temporary
only.
Iron and Steel Strong.
Among manufactured products the
strength of iron and steel is notable
More inquiry for pig iron is reported
by southern furnaces: In finished
products cut nails and wire are 81
per ton higher. There is not much
now in the import line, but prices are
strong. Among finished : products
steel plates, bars and rails are espe-
cially strong and active. Numerous
orders for cars are coming forward,
and this has created a large business
for miscellaneous steel and for yellow
pine. Shelf and heavy hardware is
specially active for this season Of the
year. The strength of building ma
terials is a feature deserving Of note.

to the players of the two clubs.
