THIS FACTOR ACTS AS A CHECK

Dealers Somewhat Depressed at the
Absence of the Usual Spring
Demand.

New York, May 2. - Bradstreet's
says: "Distributive trade continues
quiet at most markets, and April trade

stocks. Signs of improvements are,
however, to be noted in the northwest,
where better weather has helped retail
and wholesale trade. Pacific coast
trade and crop advices are better than
of late, and while weather and crop
conditions are backward, at the south
the exceptionally strong position of the
leading interests renders the outlook
for the future very hopeful. A favor

SCHOONER WRECKED IN GALE
Vessel Strikes Reef Off Halifax. N. S..
and Entire Crew of Five
Are Drowned.

Halifax, N. S., May "A message

Onoro of Annapolis bound from West

not far from this harbor, and was
wrecked. She is believed here to have

for this port with a cargo of sugar
and molasses. She was sighted by

this harbor in the northeastern gale
and rainstorm. At daybreak Satur-
day she was seen lying on the reef a

lieved that she missed her reckoning
in the darkness and storm. Two bodies
have been washed ashore.
