TRADE OF COUNTRY.
In Southwest. Largos Volumes Of
Traffic Reported.

New York.-Special kilograms from
correspondents Of the International
Mercantile Agency throughout the
United States and Canada make it
clear that more conservative views
are taken of the prospects for general
trade throughout the year than have
been current heretofore. Wholesale
at Chicago, Buffalo and st. Louis has
been more interfered with by delays
to rail shipments, but at many points,
notably in the Southwest and South,
large volumes of traffic are reported.
There has been no lack of moisture
for winter wheat in the Southwest. In
the central belt the winter sown grain
has experienced hard freezing wealth
er but has been well protected. Slack
movement of wheat eastward has thus
far virtually nullified threatened
losses to railways due to ex-Buffalo
rate war. In the Mississippi valley
there have been no signs of an early
spring in the agricultural regions.
A canvass Of the South shows that
the outlook for spring trade was never
better. Notwithstanding evidences of
selling of cotton by leading interests
at New York and elsewhere thousands
of southern holders in view of re-
cent decreased receipts, seem to con-
fidently count on recovering late pa
per losses
There are more orders in sight for
steel rails. Wire is sold far ahead
but tin plates are being absorbed.
Pennsylvania paper mills are profit
i ing by shutdowns elsewhere. Farm i'm
Iplement makers are more active.
There has been a slight improve
ment in trade in the Canadian Domin-
ion in the past week. The setback of
the past month, however, will make
spring trade late there, and the total
volume of sales will probably be
smaller than last year during the pc
Rod. Bank clearing have decreased,
except at Winnipeg, Vancouver and
Victoria. The price of -four and of
wheat has followed quotations which
have been conspicuous in the state.
demand for clothing and for boots
and shoes have given manufacturers
all the orders which they can handle
in the near future.

and runs through the center of the
corn exhibit, thus forming beauti-
iful background for the various dis
plays facing on each Of the two 20
foot aisles. The average height OF
the facade is Is feet, but rising from
the center is a massive dome CO. feet
high, surmounted by an immense gol-
den ear of corn, in staff, bursting
from silver shuck. At each end OF
the facade is a great triumphal arch
with columns rising on the side forty

lar portal, through which the multi
tudes will enter the corn-show.

FEVER PRECAUTIONS.
Mexican and United States Authori-
ties in Harmony.

Mexico City-A comprehensive plan
for suppressing and preventing yellow
fever in cities and towns of northeast
ern Mexico has been devised by Mr..
Lyega, chairman of the Superior
Board of Health. The plan is to fol-
low the course the board took last
summer and take rapid action should
the fever again show itself. Mosqui-
toes will be thoroughly destroyed.
The board proposes to work in en-
tire harmony with the health author
tiles in the United States. The re-
markable exemption of this city from
typhoid fever this year is an indica-
ton of what can be done by SANTA
ton.
The recent eruptions Of the Santa
Maria volcano in Guatemala have
choked the channel of the Usmacinto
river to such a degree that navigation
is prevented. A commission of engi-
neers will be dispatched there to as
certain what is needed to clear out the
channel.
President Diaz has appointed ten
commissioners for the exhibit at the
st. Louis Exposition. Albio Muneio
is commissioner-in-c chief. Each of the
commissioners will have an assistant.
The commissioners cover the depart
ments of education and social econo-
my, art and ethnology, liberal arts,
manufacturers, machinery and cleo
tricity, agricultural mines and metal
and forestry, game and fish. The ex-
hibit in its totally will be the larg-
est and most comprehensive Mexico
has ever had anywhere, supassing the
exhibit attempted in Paris and Chi
cago.
The manufacturing and agricultural
displays will be great, and mining will
be superbly illustrated. The collec-
lions of Mexican woods is to be COM
plete. The commissioners expect to
spend nearly year in st. Louis.
The Mexican artillery band will
leave here in July, and remain at the

Home for Aaeo master mssons.

Flo1lc TOT h4Gu WGStCf tUooCEos
The Masors of Pennsylvania will
erect and maintain home for Master
Masons, their widows. and children.
It will be placed near the central part
of the state-perhaps at Cresson, the
once famous mountain resort. To tho
support of this home will come the
full aid of the Grand Lodge of the
state. This support was pledged at
the quarterly communication of the
Grand Lodge in the Masonic Temple.
The plan to have q central Masonic
Home originated with the present
Grand Master, Edgar A. Tennis. 1t
is believed that the managers of the
Masonic Home of Pennsylvania, who
row control the home on North
Broad street, and who have charge Of
what is known as the William l.
