TRADE ACTIVITY Is LESS.

ts NJ. -.. , Z. Is.
Henry cIews Reports Loss In @Ex.
port Trade and Lesser Trade
Activity. .cs.& w.. ~. II. II
New York, April 1S.-Henry Clews
weekly trade review says: The most
unsatisfactory feature in the present
situation Is our loss Of export trade.
In March there was a reduction of
about $23,O00,000 in exports compared
with a year ago, more than one-half
OF which was in cotton and the re-
mainder in wheat. Scarcity and ex-
cessive speculation in these staples,
especially in cotton, were chiefly
responsible for this unwelcome change
In the drift of our foreign trade At
the same time imports of mercandise
showed a loss of over $4,000, 900,
which somewhat corroborates the re-
ports of lessened trade activity. If
these tendencies continue they are
likely to stimulate gold exports to a
greater degree than anticipated. In
fact, the conditions are more in favor
Of gold shipments than for several
years past this season. Easy money,
larger surplus reserves than for some
years and the prospects of Europe
selling American stocks in case of q
Russian or Japanese loan all work in
favor of gold exports, particularly
when our merchandise exports decline
SO much more rapidly than imports.
However, this need cause no concern,
for we usually ship gold freely at this
season. and the country now holds
over $1,soo,o0o gold money, which is
almost double that held only seven
years ago. It is plain we can spare
gold freely without any anxiety.

The Fight in the Fifth.

The LaMoure county Chronicle
goes over the judicial situation in the
various counties of the district and
arrives at the conclusion that with
Stutsman and Barnes counties against
Judge Glaspell he will be unable to
land the nomination. Griggs county
will have David Bartlett as a candi-
date, and there are other candidates
from Wells and Foster counties. It
will require As votes to nominate, and
Stutsman. Griggs and Barnes alone
have almost that number. ANY one
OF the other counties joining with the
delegates from the above three coun-
ties will control the choice. %.

Wants to Reformation v. Cooley,
a prisoner in the state penitentiary
from Mandan, writes the Pioneer that
he intends to- reform and be good
Citizen. He says: my object in
writing this letter is to make public
to the people that am going to do
what is right, and be a man in the
future, to pay for the property I took
that did not belong to me, and to live
an honest and upright Life. only
ask that they will give me one more
chance, and will do my utmost to
prove that have reformed and intend
to be an honest man. I have made a.
sad mistake in life, and 1 see how
foolish I have been to live the life
have, when a man that Is honest and
upright is great deal happier. It
does not pay to be dishonest; one who
is dishonest has a guilty feeling, and
can never be happy till he has righted
the wrongs he has DONE" Appended
to the letter is. note from Warden
Boucher, attesting the prisoners good
conduct while in the penitentiary.
