TRADE OF COUNTRY.
In Southwest. Largcs 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 we'll protected. Slack
movement Of wheat eastward has thus
far virtually nullifed 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
ing by shutdowns elsewhere. Farm i'm
rlement 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.

REMARKABLE
Was Request Of Jury in the Postal
Gases.

Washington.-Im after
Criminal Court convened Justice Prit-
chard charged the jury in the postal
cases.
After being out forty minutes the
jury sent for what Justice Pritchard
characterizes as a remarkable and
most unusual request. They desired
the account book of George E. Lorenz,
the note for $25, 900, all drafts, checks,
warrants and statements Of each Of
the defendants, as we'll as the papers
In his charge. His counsel said that
to comply with the request in its en-
tirety would amount to a re-trial in
the case. The jury was sent for and
Justice Pritchard informed them he
had decided, with the consent Of coun-
sci, to let them have the note and ac-
count book of Lorenz and such papers
as bore on the note transaction. He
said it was not customary to send ev-
idence to the jury-room, as the jury
are presumed to have heard the evil
dence and understood the same. If
they were in doubt about any part Of
it, he said he would read, as also
would he give them information on
any point Of law in WHICH they were
in doubt. The jury then returned to
the jury-room.

PRODUCED in the House this. week by
Chairman Cooper of the House Com
mittee on Insular Affairs. This leg
islation will have the support of the
administration through Secretary
Taft, whose conviction that railroads
are the next essential step in the de-
velopment Of the Philippine Islands
has been made known to the Commit
tee on Military affairs. The plan as
at first outlined, provided for per
cent. guarantee on total investment
of $60,000,000. Upon further con-
sideration of the matter it was deem
ed advisable to reduce the total
amount to $40,0OO,0O0 and raise the
guarantee to per cent. Should the
total amount Of the guarantee be call
ed for, it would mean a total yearly
expenditure of ST. 100000. 1t is now
predicted that the telegraph lines will
follow the railroads, newspapers will
be established along it's lines, and the
educational social and industrial de-
velopment Of the islands will be ac-
complished faster and more surely
than in any other manner.
