WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.-President Roose-
welt is suffering from a cold. The cold
amounts to little more than a hoarseness,
which is yielding to treatment.

ing producer now reports over five and
half million tons of contracts on hand, and
similar statements on a somewhat smaller
scale are made by other companies. Traf-
fic difficulties make increased deliveries OF
fuel and pig iron uncertain, and at Chicago
coke is nominally $40 a ton. Connellsville
ovens produce freely, but Pittsburg sup
plies are inadequate. very large guam
tity is en- route and there is growing con-
fidence in the trade that the worst con-
gestion is over for the season. Purchasers
in some divisions of the market still show
an inclination TO postpone placing con-
tracts in expectation of better terms, but
the general level of quotations does not
recede. Numerous contracts are taken
abroad because domestic plants cannot
make shipments within the specified time,
and one result of the excessive activity
has been a decided Improvement in the
foreign industry.
Little new business has been placed with
New England shoe factories, although

NEW YORK, Feb. 6-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
Vigorous vitality is conspicuous i'm trade
and industry, despite the handicap of over
strained and lamentably inadequate facih-
ties for transportation. Concentrated eff
forts to reduce the congestion at few
favored points apparently intensified the
blockades elsewhere, and inclement weather
added a new disturbing factor to an al
ready complicated situation. Every pos
sble means is being adopted To improve
conditions, enormous sums are appropriate
ed for extensions, yet accidents and losses
are frequent. Transatlantic vessels failed
TO leave on schedule time, and many manu-
featuring plants are closed in part or
wholly.
Labor disputes are more numerous. al
though not prevalent to any extent in the
leading industries. AS the season advances
there is notable activity in building trades.
with the customary acceleration of inquiry
for materials. Retail dealings In most
staples are fully sustained, especially OF
seasonable wearing apparel. but distribu-
ton at many points has suffered through
weather conditions. Wholesale and job
bling trade is steadily improving, although
deliveries cannot be guaranteed. Foreign
commerce is keeping pace with domestic
trade. Railway earnings during January
were Sc per cent. larger than last year.
and III per cent. In excess of 1901
IL would have occasioned no surprise had
the cost of living materially advanced
during the midwinter month. In addition
TO the seasonable influence of low temper
ature and consequent restriction OF produc-
ton in some lines, there were numerous
factors I'm evidence calculated to aggravate
the situation. In the face of initiating ele-
ments the consumer was peculiarly Iortu-
nate as shown by Dun's index number
of prices propotioned TO consumption
which was 800 800 on Feb. l, against slo0 $50
month previous, an advance OF only
one-nalf OF per cent.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 6.-There was
great joy at Purdue when the news of the
recommendation OF the legislative COM
mittee was made known here. President
Stone this afternoon said that with the
exception of $1,000 request for general
repairs to building and money for ex-
tension TO the shops, every appropriation
asked for was recommended by the COM
mission The members of the committee
were deeply impressed with the growth Of
Purdue The 10000 recommendation for a
new physics building is perhaps the most
needed of ALL The classes in physics are
now Obliged TO recite in the electrical build
ing and are much too large for the quarters
assigned To them.
The recommended appropriation for a
heating plant Is also very important one
The present plant is not large enough to
heat all the buildings and this requires the
