TRADE REVIEW.
ucsiness and Industry Active IN
Spite of Some UntOward
Conditions.

New York, May 9.-Bradstreets' says:
Business continues large and industry
active, in most cases surprising pre-
vious years at this date, despite unsea-
sonably cool weather in some sections
and swarm of veXatious labor trou-
bles. Most of the meaures of trade and
Industrial volume still make favor
able showings. The simply enormous
gain in gross railway earnings reported
for April, Is per cent. over the best in
previous years, is proof that past good
reports of trade and traffic were fully
justified. The usual lull in wholesale
tarde allows of some retrospects and
reflections as to the future. Iron pro-
duction is at the maximum, but pig
iron is dull and dropping. In sharp
contrast with cruder forms is the
strength and activity in steel and the
continued active sale for finished pro-
ducts. Strikes and lockouts interfere
with trade in lumber and other build
ing material, particular at New York.
On the other hand, the shoe industry
seems to be exceptionally active.
Leather is firmly held. Western dry
goods, grocery, hardware, clothing and
millinery jobbers note good recorders,
and the volume of fall orders booked
exceeds year ago. Southern trade is
affected by unseasonably cold weather
holding back business and complicat-
ing the crop situation in cotton, fruits
and vegetables. These damages done
by cold weather, however, can still be
repaired by prompt replanting and
favorable weather although the cotton
crop will be late one"
r. G. Dun & Co., in their Weekly Re-
view of Trade, say: unrest in the
ranks of labor has increased rather
than abated since May /, when difficult
ties of this sort usually eliminate. No
single struggle of great magnitude is
in progress. but the frequency of small
strikes is disturbing, and in the aggre-
gate a large force is idle, while i'm
portant industrial undertakings are
checked.
Failures this week were 175 in the
United States against 21s last year, and
% in Canada, compared with "a year
ago"

PRAISES THE TROOPS.
Gen. baldwin Gives American Sol
diers Credit for Splendid work
In the Philippines.

Detroit, Mich, May 9.--In an inter-
view at the Loyal Legion banquet
Gen Baldwin said:
TOO much credit cannot be given
the regular troops for the superb
manner in which they have done the
hard work in the Philippines. They
have shown just what stuff goes to
make up the United States army.
"The Filipinos are indolent to o
marked degree. and they have abso-
lutely no confidence in promises made
by the American officers. This is due
to their past 300 years experience.
In time it may be possible to educate
the Filipino to exert himself so he
will do something. The pacification
Of the islands is practically COM
plete."

InvestIgation OF Affairs of Post once
Department May Include the
Entire Country.

Washington, May IA far-reachine
extension of the present Investigation
of the affairs of the post Office depart
ment, to include the overhaulng OF
most of the large post Offices in the
country, is IN contemplation.
Mr.. Payne said that it was a large
undertaking and at present he was not
prepared to say just what form this
wholesale investigation of post Of
fees would take.
II will cover all flrst-class post Of
fees whose annual receipts aggregate
half million dollars. Mr.. Payne said
that the present administration meth
DDS of the postal service were put in
operation by former Postmaster Gen.
eral Wanamaker, IA years ago, and
since then the business of the depart
ment has trebled. He said that it
might be that some of the methods
were faulty and the practices irregu-
lar, and that the investigation would
be made in the hope of initiating new
and better methods as well as COR
recting abuses.
'"S 'Dhs 4sioy ". iHc lnNtStl-
cation of the affairs of the post Office
department, which has been dragging
along for two months. took a sensa-
tional turn late Friday afternoon
when, by order of Postmaster GEN
eral Payne, August w. Machen, gem
eral superintendent of the free deliv-
cry system, and one of the most widely
known government officials in the
United States, was relieved from his
duties, and Post Office Inspector NJ.
c. Fosnes was designated to take
charge of that service.
Mr.. Machen has been under fire ever
since the investigation began.
Charges of various kinds have been
preferred against the administration
of the free delivery branch of the pos
tai service. These included allega-
ton of collision with letter box
manufacturers in the furnishing of
boxes to post Office patrons, particu-
larry on rural mail routes, the fur
nishing of advance information re-
garding the selection of routes and the
appointments of carriers. etc.
