BUSINESS AT LEADING POINTS.

| AT Chicago trade has run somewhat
lunevenly. There is Improvement in
manufacturing. but returns indicate
some failing of in railroad traffic and
retail distribution has been affected
| by unfavorable weather. Eastbound
shipments of food stuffs disclose a
sharp falling Off. Wholesale business,
however. is steadily advancing, house
| dealings being good, and orders come in
| freely from road statesmen. Buying Is
better In most branches Of seasonable
dry goods and footwear, and the de-
mand for clothing, cloaks and suits has
strengthened. Country merchants show
a reader disposition to take hold of
most lines of spring goods. Other lines.
SUCH as groceries, canned goods, drugs
and paints are in fair request. Mer-
camille collections are fairly good local.
~ and satisfactory in the interior.
Minneapolis grocery jobbers report
satisfactory volume OF orders at fair
prices, but collections are still slow.
Iron and hardware sales about equal a
year ago. Dry goods and woolens are
slow. Lumber In all lines is seasonably
quiet Receipts for the week have been

Atlanta reports good trade in dry
goods, shoes, hats. notions and grocer

mand, except in hard wood. which has
been quiet for thirty days. Manufac-
turers Of furniture report good trade
and factories are running on full time
Considerable building is in progress and
material men report satisfactory
trade. Collections generally are only
fair.
At Louisville business Is very active
with manufacturers OF plows. spring
trade being unusually good. Spring or
ders with manufacturers OF clothing
show an Improvement OF about 10 per
cent in volume over the same period
last year. The demand Is stronger for
this season than before for the better
grades of clothing, with little or no de-
mand for the cheaper grades. except
in outlying districts. Payments are
satisfactory.
Cleveland reports of retail business
are good, and up to that of the CORE.

material Is in good demand, manu-
facturers are busy and prospects for
spring trade are favorable. Collections
are satisfactory.
Philadelphia manufacturers OF in
grain carpets are well employed and re-
port orders as very satisfactory and
are receiving many duplicates Manu-
facturers and upholsterers' plants are
only partially employed. Manufacture
ers of cotton goods generally
have restricted their output in
consequence of the sharp advance
in cotton. The dry goods market is
quiet and wholesale and commission
houses report buyers very conservative,
and purchases cover immediate needs
only. The mems clothing trade for

CAST IRON OUTPUT
 NOW DECREASING Efforts to Restore Failing InduS-
 try in Russia GOVERNMENT IS CONSUMER Foundries Depend Largely on Orders for Railroad Bu.cing and the
 Homo Demand for Metal
 Goods Is Small.
GOVERNMENT IS CONSUMER

In spite of the high duty imposed the output of cast iron in Russia Is gradually decreasing as shown by statistics com piled by the United States department of commerce and labor and published in the consular reports
 In 1899 the total output was 2,6S2.O00 tons; in 1902, 2.52O.sl6 decrease of 145,l61 tons. The quantity of iron goods in the market in 1900 amounted to 32S2,154 tons and in 1902 to only 2,s61. .059. In order to develop the iron industry in Russia the government prohibited the importation of any iron products early in the last centu- ", but this step did little good. At a later date importation was permitted but the duty was so high as to be practically prohibtiye. Since 1919 the tariff has un- dergone many changes but is still consid- cred very high In comparison with those of other European countries.
 Hardware in Littlo Demand.
 The consumption of hardware in Russia is not large and the principal consumer Is the government The foundries of South Russia are kept producing metal goods and work almost exclusively for the government. When the government reduces it's orders there Is, accordingly. a crisis in iron manufacture-overprodu ton results when official requirements are fulfilled and the demand in the home market declines. This state of affairs continues now, since national railroad construction has ceased and there is no further demand from that source.
 During the past decade the Russian government has spent sum estimated at $500, GOO GOO on the iron industry, principal ly in building railroads. The money has now been appropriated and spent. hence the decline in iron making
 Hopes Aroused By Loan.
 T. is hoped that a new loan of $50,OO0,000 from France for the purpose of railroad building will restore the failing iron in- dustry to life, but such hopes based on foreign loans are at best very precarous.
 There is no reason why the manufac- tvre ef iran' should not prove successful. in Russia, if a market for the output could be found. There is an abundance of ore in the country labor is cheap. and there is every chance to supply the home demand if such a demand really existed.
 It Is now proposed to erect iron works and foundrles at Kalgan. within the lines of the new Russo Chinese railroad. where it is planned to turn out steel rails and smelt iron ore, which will be imported from Manchurian mines now under Rus. sian control.
 There are ffty-six blast furnaces in Russia but only twenty-three are now in operation.

LONGS TRIED 10 SELL OUT

New Orleans, February 9.-It was bu- reau day in the cotton market today. but the census report instead of being the means of materially advancing prices as the bulls have confidently expected for several weeks past, proved to be the most disastrous feature of the season to the holders of long cotton.
 It was first announced that the total number of square bales gnned was 9,s59,- 277. For a moment the brokers at the ring stood silent in stupefed amazement. Such an amount was even beyond the widest dreamer of the most confirmed bear. The operators then commenced to throw their cotton overheard. Thousands upon thous- ands of bales were offered and prices tumbled down 10 to 20 points at time until they were up a cent below the prices just preceding Il o'clock.
 Scene Quickly Changed.
 In the twinkling of an eye the scene was changed. A clerk hurried to the ring and being unable to make himself heard
