WEATHER HAS A BAD EFFECT
Influence on Many Lines of Bust
ness Is Unfavorable.
Situation in Iron and Steel Industry
Not EncOuraging-HOpe Ex-
pressed for the Future.

New York, Now 9.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:
"Unseasonably mild weather is making
it possible for farmers to secure much
late grain and cotton that seemed
doomed by early frost, but, on the 9TH
er hand, trade is dull in heavy wear
ing apparel, fuel and many lines that
should now be vigorous. While in the
long run this business may be made
up, and the nation will be benefited
by the increased crops, the immediate
effect is unfavorable. Manufacturing
activity has increased at cotton mills
and several minor industries, but in
iron and steel there are more idle fur
naces and mills. Building permits are
decreasing and structural work is not
prosecuted with the vigor that was
seen last year. Lumber is firm, de-
spite the moderate demand. The rail-
ways continue prosperous, earnings for
October surprising last years by 6.2
per cent With the extensive restric-
ton of blast furnace activity, there is
reason to look for steadier markets in
the near future, and throughout the
industry it is believed that large con-
tracts will be placed whenever buyers

A long standing dispute between state
and federal authorities as to the right
of the government to fish in Michigan
waters after the commercial fishing
season has closed, for the purpose of
gathering spawn, was brought to
crisis Friday evening by the arrest OF

luth hatchery, together with other
United States employees and owners and
masters of the fishing tugs Theora and
Columbia. Warrants were sworn out

ster. In addition to the days catch Of

commission, but the state game warden

ted large discretion. The closing of the
stations would mean the loss of this
