A| Agency from leading cities
and towns throughout the United States
and Canada indicate that the past week
has been the most broken aud irregular
III general trade circles since the year
began. Railroad operation since Jan
l has been disappointing TO both roads
and shippers.
Rate wars between Chicago and Mis-
souri, river points, with higher prices
for cereals, have stimulated the move
ment of grain and. as an indirect effect,
have increased buying throughout the
entire winter wheat region. st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth spring wheat
country centers do not End trade as ac-
tive as anticipated.
Prices have advanced So a ton for
steel pipe and for wire products and rs
cents ton for besssy,er pig, at Pitts
burg, consequent on the trust purchase
of 100000 tons. That interest is also
reported TO have options for 10000 tons
Of bessemer each. for April and May
deliveries. A leading southern pig inter-
est has sold its output to May /. Adj
vances have been shown by cotton and
sugar, while declines are noted in the
overstimulated cereals, in provisions and
in Ohio petroleum.
There is less call for money for mer-
camille purposes at banks at a number
of cities, notably at New York and Bos-
ton.
General trade is showing, relatively,
most activity at Chicago, Pittsburg, New
Orleans and ST. Louis. At Baltimore it
is 20 per cent less than year ago, due
to interference by the fire. Cincinnati
reports moderate gain, and Boston
rather less trade than year ago, but
with hopefulness for an early increase.
Among some Of the larger cities wages
in industrial lines are stationary.
In the Canadian dominion trade has
been more active owing to an influx OF
county BUYERS at important centers.

With less severity in the weather the
distribution of commodities was made
easier, but deliveries are yet retarded

vance in volume, milder temperatures
having helped materially in creating
better demand for the leading lines of
spring apparel and household needs.
Outside buyers appeared in larger
numbers in the jobhing district and deal,.

the staple goods. Transactions in dress

larger aggregate, and were steady in

Andrew Carnegie the eanniest OF
Seotsi is quite consistent in being for
free trade in England and for the worst
of spoliatory tariff in this country,
which has enabled him to gather wealth
beyond the dreams of Midas.
Under d reasonable and moderate tar
if the Carnegies and FrielSs would have
been enabled to accumulate n few mil
lions, Just as Peter Shoenberger and
other Pennsylvania iron manufacturers
did under such system. It was inn
possible then to screw up prices above
normal level, for foreign competition
would have been invoked at once TO
redress the balance in favor Of Ameri-
can consumers. But the Dingley tariff
and its predecessors Of like character
by barring out foreign competition have
enabled the Carnegies and tricks to
reap a wealth without former example
in the worlds history. The only mp
proach to it has been in the sweeping
coniiscations Of the Roman enperors.

BARRE's PUBLIC LIBRARY BUILD

BY their action in voting to deed the

ing last evening will have been removed
when the library is thrown open to the
public use. It is proper to say that a
considerable portion Of that opposition
was not due to sentiment against
deciding the lot for the library; but sev
eral considered that the city should deed
only part Of the lot, retaing the re-
mainder for other uses. Without look
ing to the future, the idea Of giving only
what is now needed seems plausible;
and ii Barre is to remain stationary

then d part would have been sufficient
But one Of the speakers last evening
who favored giving only a part, declared
that in 20 years Barre city's population
would be $4,000, If the population is
