TRADE REVIEW.
Signs of an Encouraging Nature Ap-
pear in Commercial
Conditions.

New York, April 9.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Commercial conditions have improved
somewhat during the past week, al
though there is still much to be de-
sired. Dispatches from the south are
most encouraging. At the east more
seasonable weather prevailed, yet
spring trade is still below normal. The
best news of the week was the settle
ment of many labor controversies, or
at least resumption of work pending
arbitration. Improvement in the iron
and steel industry is no longer a mat
ter of conjecture or sanguine hopes,
but a certainty
Failures this week numbered 235 in
the United States against 1877 last
year.
Bradstreet's, says: Events Of the
week have, for the most part been ia
vorable. Weather conditions generally
have been spring-like, except in some
portions of the northwest. This has
increased retail distribution in the
cities, while in the country districts IA
vorable weather hes helped farmers in
their planting preparations and i'm
proved the condition of winter wheat.
The breaking up of country roads,
however, tends to retard the sale and
distribution of merchandise, lumber
and other products

POPULATION OF COUNTRY.
Latest Estimate Of Census Bureau
Places It at $4,000, 900 Exclusive
of Insular Possessions.

Washington. April S.-The census bu-
reau Thursday issued bulletin which
gives the estimated population of the
United States for 1908, exclusive of Alas
ka and the insular possessions of the
United States, at 79,9OO,3s9. This is an
increase of 3,905,S14 since the census of
1900. The population is estimated for
43S cities having 10000 or more inhabit-
ants in 1900. According to these esti-
1879 inhabitants; Chicago is rapidly ap-
preaching the two-million mark, hav-
ing 1,S73,88 inhabitants; Philadelphia
has 1,367,71 st. Lauis has just passed

900 mark; Baltimore has 531 ,313; Cleve-
land is now considerable distance
ahead of Cincinnati, which cities have
Ala $50 and 332,934 respectively. Buff
falo also has considerably increased its
population, being credited with 3S1 ,403
inhabitants. San Francisco and Pitts
burg are close competitors, the former
having 355,919 and the latter 345,043.
Detroit, Milwaukee and New Orleans

ton is close to that figure.
In the number of towns and cities hav-
ing over 10000 inhabitants Massachu-
sets is in the lead with AZ; containing.a

lion; Pennsylvania exceeds six and a
half million and Illinois has passed five
million. Texas has over three million,
