hangs Western industry generally. The
 agricultural situation on the whole is one of great strength and record-breaking acreage will go, into cotton
 Railway earnings reflect the most un- favorable winter in many years. The feeling is still that good weather would help to repair the awkwardness of gem eral conditions. Weather conditions have checked Eastern wholesale trade. Cotton and woolen goods dealers do not give as good reports as do those in the silk trade. Demand for woolens for fall delivery has not been up to expectations and reor- ders are not very satisfactory. Manu- lecturers are buying wool only to cover actual needs. There is little activity in lumber.
 Eastern shoe manufacturers report de- mand for spring goods backward as . whole but leather Is stronger in price. The features in iron and steel this week have been the purchase of nearly 10000 tons by the leading interests and reports of other sales aggregating as much more. This has had the effect of stiffenfng mer- chant furnace mems views and estab- fishing prices at SIS for Bessemer. Fin- ished products turn higher on favorable reports Pitfsburg reporting all modern mills running to their full capacity while Chicago reports increased sales of bars, steel rails and structural.

Business Improves Despite Low Tenn
 peratures and High Prices.
 New York, March 4.-R. c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Business continued to improve des- pite the difficulty of low temperature and high prices. Weather conditions have been eingularly unpropitious, deep snow retarding distribution of merchan- disc and excessive cold delaying the open- ing of spring trade and structural work. Yet retailers are making extensive prepa- rations and plans are submitted for numerous building operations. Reports from the South indicate exceptional pros- perity. Buyers continue to arrive at the leading markets, but the volume of trade is restricted by high prices, particularly for cotton goods.
 Railway earnings for February were 2.2 per cent less than last year; bad weather restricting traffic. It may be said with some degree of assurance that the iron and steel industry has made further progress in the right direction and the prospect is brighter than 1t has been at any time during the winter. Gains are small, 1t is true, and there are several disturbing features; except the presence of purchasers in all divis- Ions of ths market promises to restore activity.
 Strength and activity appear in mer- chant pipe. plates and bars. A large purchase of Bessemer pig iron was made by the leading interest at $15, Valley fur mace, equivalent to $13.S5 at Pittsburg. This represents the most definite advance and is encouraging, although only amounting to 25c ton. The sale was on an exchange basis the purchaser trad ing coke for pig iron. the same as was done in 1894 to help the market. Several smaller contracts were effected on the same basis, bringing total sales 60 about l50,O00 tons, An abundance of buyers in the drygoods market failed to produce any large volume of business. Recovery in the raw material corrected whatever tendency there was last week to make concessions on forward business and the average of cotton goods is at the highest point of the season. This naturally cheeks operations for the future, particu. larIy in export trade which is very dull Domestic wides are weaker than Is ex plained by the seasonable deterioration in quality.
 Leather is less active. New England shoe shops are shipping less freely anC receiving fewer orders than a year ago Failures this week in the United States are 2S6, against 240 last week, 2S7 the preceding week and 229 the correspondins week last year. Failures in Canada number 27. against 2 last week; 20 the preceding week and Is last year.

scoURINa THE SCALP.
Wfu Remove the Loose Dandruf
 Scales But It Won't Cure Dand-

If your hair is brittle and thinning. you have dandruff The mere securing of $he scalp of the loose scales. won't cure Handruff: because dandruff Is nothing but ecales of scalp thrown up by pestife- xous little germ in borrowing its way to zhe root of the hair. where 1t saps the yltailty, causing falling hair and. in time. baldness. Now you can't stop dandrun nor falling hair. nor prevent badness u1- Sesn you destroy that germ; and the only preparation that can do it is the new scientific discovery, Newbro's Herpicide. 1n fact. no other hair preparation claims &o kill the dandruff germ-all of them viii clean the scalp; soap and water will iaa that. but only Newbro's Herpicide gets at the root of the trouble and kills xhe dandruff germ.

FOR RHEUMATISM

All forms of Rheumatism, LumbaRo, Sciatica, etc, are seen, under microscopic examination, to be the result of clusters of tenacious and venodous and highly inf1ammatory microbes in the blood and in the joints of the frame, the wrists, elbows, knees. ankles. hip joints, back and loins, and in various muscles. in- cludng those of the heart and other vital organs. And, from the testimony Of thousands upon thousands of chronic sufferers who have resorted to Microbe Killer as ai antidote. it would seem that the disease never falls to yield to It's purifying energy; showing the law of the cure to be the elimination of the rheu- matic germs and germ poisons from the joints, the muscles and the blood.
 Arthur B. Fogle, Cumberland. Md, writes: l had been suffering with Rheu- matism for eighteen months, during which time had to Keep my limbs in bandages. l had taken many medicines without re- lief. when commenced using the MicrobeI Killer. It cured me completely and can- nnt speak too highly of 1t.

Sues Carpenters Union.


 J. D. Wallenhaupt, a carpenter, has filed suit in the City Court for $5,d0O damages against Local Union No. 75, cf Birmingham. Ala. Brotherhood of Ca:- penters and Joiners of America. Four teen members of the local are mention sd. including W. H. Mitchell Green Win field. Chris Brandt and John Bivens. The plaintiff claims that he is a carpenter by trade and was working for the Ala bama Brewing Company on January :3 1904. He asserts that the defendants did lawfully conspire to destroy his rignt to exercise lns right of trade because he did not belong to the union. In ac- cordance with this, the complainant si- leges, the local union sent their busi- ness agent to the Alabama Brewing Con- pany on January 20. intimidating them into discharging the plaintiff It is fur the- claimed that they molested, hind- cred and injured the plaintiff in the dis charge of his trade. The suit is cons;o- cred an important one, as it may tend to further test the anti-boycott law. Not long since wallenh:upt had four members of the carpenters union ar- rested under the anti-boycott act. the allegations in the criminal proceedings being the same.

APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN
BY Secretary John Hay.

Dy OcCIetafy
want to say a word to the young
men whose political life is beginning:
Any one entering business would be
glad of the chance to become one of an
established firm with years of success
behind it.
Everything great done by this coun-
try in the last so years has been done
under the auspices of the Republican
party. Is not this priceless asset?
Lincoln and Grant, Hayes and Gar
field, Harrison and McKinley-names
secure in the heaven of fame-they are
al gone, leaving small estates in worldly
goods, but what vast possessions in
principles, memories. sacred associa-
tions 1t is start in life to share that
wealth.
In our form of government there
must be two parties.
But what young man would not
rather belong to the party that does
things, instead of one that opposes
them to the party that looks up, rather
than down to the party Of the dawn,
rather than of the sunset?
For so years the Republican party
has believed in the country and labored
for it in hope and JOY
Has reverenced the flag and followed
it;
Has carried it under strange skies and
planted it on far.receding horizons
Has seen the nation grow greater
every year and more respected;
Has seen the country extend its inter-
course aud its influence to regions un-
known to our fathers
Yet il has never abated one jot or
title Of the ancient law imposed on us
by God.fearing ancestors. The Consti-
tuition of our fathers has been the light
to our feet. Our path is. and will ever
remain. that of ordered progress, of
liberty under the law.
But we are not daunted by progress.
We are not afraid of the light
The fabric our fathers builded will
stand all shocks of fate or fortune.
While there will always be proud
pleasure in looking back on the history
they made. the coming generation has
the right to anticipate work not less i'm
portant.
We who are passing off the stage bid
you, as the children of Israel encamp-
ing by the sea were bidden, to go for.
ward. We whoss hands can no longer
hold the flaming torch pass it on to you
that its clear light may show the truth
to the ages that are to come.
