Driving the GrizzI. West.

In the days OF Kit Carson the grizzly
had not learned TO look upon man as
a foe to be Stunned at any cost, but
the quick firing magazine rifle has
taught him that if he possibly can
he must keep out of mans sight. He
has now been driven back into the al
most inaccessible solitudes of the
northwest Rocky Mountains, and the
sportsmen who wishes to add his pelt
and dangling necklace of claws to his
collection of hunting trophies must
travel far and endure much hardship

was called by the Western pioneers,

Farm WorR Picks Up In Missouri VAL
ley, DesDife the Cold


The weather bureaus weekly summary
says that in all districts east of the
Rocky Mountains the weather has been
unseasonably cold and very unfavorable
to termination and growth. Farm work,
however, in the Missouri valley and the
southern and middle Atlantic States has
made favorable progress, considering the
conditions, but in the northern district
practically nothing has been done. The
States of the upper lake region were COW
cred with snow. Severe droughts prevail
In the South
In Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska
farm work has picked up, but winter
wheat needs warmer weather. Spring
wheat seeding has gone on well in the
southern portion of its district. Corn
generally is backward. In the central
Mississippi valley oats seeding has been
carried on actively. Cotton planting has
progressed rapidly. Fruit has suffered
from frosts and freezing temperatures.

the fruit sections.

N6X lOlk. Weekly Review of Trade

Tardy spring weather, following an un-
usually severe winter, makes it difficult
to restore satisfactory trade conditions.
but it is encouraging to find at many
points this unreasonable weather the only
cause of complaint. and there is always
hope that the early losses may be made
up. at least in large measure. when ther-
NAL conditions become normal. In the
meantime sales of dry goods are restrict
ed and stocks in all positions from pro-
ducer to consumer are larger than is
desirable. Aside from the cotton States,
where business is brisk, the weeks dis
patches indicate that early gains were
maintained. but little further progress oc-
CURED. Labor controversies are still an
adverse factor
Railway earnings in the first week of
April were Z per cent smaller than last
year.
No definite check to progress in the
iron and steel industry is discerned, al
though it lacks uniformity, and in some
departments it is difficult to find encour-
aging signs. In so far as pressure for
immediate delivery is concerned, bar iron
and steel are most prominent, makers Of
agricultural implements being importu-
nate. Not only is it difficult to secure
delivery of bars, but shipments four
weeks hence are considered prompt, and
some orders run up to the end OF the
year. Floods at the West have made
it impossible to begin much proposed
structural work, and, aside from supplies
for repair ships, the railways are still
operating on moderate scale. The ore
situation remains unsettled.
Firmness and activity continue in the
Chicago packer hide market, and foreign
dry hides are held steady by the prompt
absorption of arrivals. Although quota
tiors are unchanged in the leather mar
ket. some improvement is noted.
Failures number 225 in the United
States. against 212 last year. and 16 in
Canada, compared with 16 year ago.
