TRADE REVIEW.
Industrial Disturbances Are the Most
UnQuieting Factor In Bust.

New York, May 3D.-R. G. DUN & CO..
Weekly Review of Trade says:
weather conditions have improved,
particularly as regards the great sta
pie lines, although considerable losses
have occurred in garden truck and
other minor farm products at the east
owing to drought. Labor controver-
sizes are still the most disturbing fac.
tors in the situation, and it is diff
cult to anticipate how far distribution
of merchandise will be affected. Struc-
tural material Of all kinds is moving
slowly, because of strikes in the build
ing trades. which are now exercising
more widespread influence than other
disagreements. At the east the trade
situation is satisfactory. us rule.
Railway earnings thus far reported
for May were 1913 per cent. larger than
last year, and surpassed those of 1901
by $50 per cent. e
Failures this week numbered 208
in the United States, against 1874 last
year, and in Canada, compared with
20 a year ago."
Bradstreet's says: Wholesale trade
awaits crop, labor and price develop
ments. Too much rain is reported for
western crops, but particularly for
corn, the planting of which is still de-
layed. The outlook as to the country's
export trade is by no means depress-
ing. Exports of manufactured goods
for the month of April were only twice
exceeded in the country,s history"

MAKES ANSWER
TO ACCUSATIONS
Postmaster Merritt, Of Washington,
In His Own Defense.
DENIES TRUTH Of CHARGES
In Turn He Presents Co.aplaints Of
Serious Wrong.D0inE Against Exc
Cashier Tulloch, Author Of 40.
cusations Against Him.

Washington, May 80. - Postmaster
General Payne has made public the
reply of Postmaster Merritt, of this
city to the Tulloch charges. He em-
phatically denies the truth Of Tulloch's
statements regarding his administra-
ton of affairs of the Washington Office.
The Merritt response makes serious
accusations against former Cashier S.
W.. Tulloch of the Washington post
Office, saying that transaction in
which Mr.. Tulloch was concerned in
1898 appears to comprehend the
presentation of false voucher, which
is made crime by the statutes" Mr..
Merritt's reply further alleges that
receipts were signed in blank on the
pay rolls during Mr.. Tulloch's regime
as cashier and that the files do not
indicate any complaint of irregulari-
ties against the Washington post Office
filed by Mr.. Tulloch>while he was in
Office. Mr.. Merritt says the general
practice of giving employees duties
seemingly incompatible with their po-
sitions is no abuse, and that the prac-
tice of paying certain expenses of the
post Office department out of the Wash
ington city post Office funds always
has existed, and isproper.
The reply of Postmaster General
Charles Emory Smith will be givenout
Sunday. Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow's reply, which will be
made public later, according to Post
master General Payne, denies that he
ever asked investigation of the Office
of the first assistant postmaster gen.
eral. 1t is probable that some tempo
rary arrangement will be made with
the cancelling machine contractors, in
