Trade Report.

Bradstreet's report OF trade last

Excessive moisture in the form OF
heavy rains and floods, or OF merei!

distributive trade. over against this
however, is to be placed an improve
ment in iobbing trade at some leading
western centers. a shade better than
heretofore reported in collections, q

turbance is still a possibly unsettled

Of death was committed to penal ser
vitude for life. will be released in
1904. The announcement comes from

Wyndham's Bill Paves the Way to
That Reform,

tHaI NctofJu.
London.-The Irish secretary, Mr..
Nyndham. has INTRODUCED the govern
ment's long anticipated Irish land bill
N the house Of commons. 1t proposes
a free grant of $50, O0O. 900 for the pur-
poses of the bill. Tenants are to pay
) II per cent interest on loans from
the government. Mr.. Wyndham said
he thought the scheme would not in
volve $500, 600. 0O0. but that $3.50. 900. 600
could safely be advanced on Irish land.
The advances to tenants are limited
20 $4,000 in the congested districts and
$4,000 elsewhere. The bill also pro-
vides that untenanted farms and graz
ing lands shall be sold to neighboring
tenants. and that three commission
ers, to be known as estate commission
ers, shall supervise the sales. The
names of the three commissioners are
