heR YORK. the international Mercan-
tile Agency describe q
general trade revival this week at
prominent Western and Southwestern
centers. The situation is noteworthy
in contrast with conditions during the
previous month, and has its basis in
more seasonable weather and In
creased orders for spring stock
Jobbing centers report materials
addition TO the volume of restocking
business" with a tendency among
many merchants to duplicate orders
previously given for spring goods. Dry
goods have been particularly active,
with healthy demand for both spring
and fall stock Clothing lines are also
rejecting Improvement, which is
shown especially throughout the
Southwest Boots and shoes are act
i've, with more inquiry for the better
qualities.
Heavy weight goods have been CON
sumed in such quantities as to reduce
supplies Of carried over stock TO the
lowest volume in years. This has
placed dealers in an especially strong
position to handle seasonable goods,
which they are doing probably and
expeditiously, owing to the generally
milder weather.
Although the improvement has been
noteworthy, it is doubtful whether the
present rush of orders will be suffi-
nj 70 10 no nd
april deficiencies. People generally
seem 20 be well supplied with money,
Rnc while cautious about engaging in
new enterprises. they are not back
ward about securing goods they really
need. Everywhere underlying condi-
lions are reported sound.
The crop situation has been greatly
benefited by the warmer weather,
Which has advanced wheat in sections
where backward spring did great dam
age. Although wheat suffered serious
damage from the setback during the
recent cold snap, fair crop can be
counted on if normal conditions pre-
vail. Most grains will be harvested
two or three weeks later than usual,
although it is possible that the next
government report will describe gen.
orally better condition than was shown
by the last figures. Winter wheat is
showing up particularly well in some
sections. Seeding in the Red River
Valley district has been retarded by
nnfavorable weather, so that the crop
outlook in that section is problemati-
cal. Elsewhere throughout the North
west encouraging conditions prevail.

Woman and Her Neice Arrested

 Mrs. Dora K. Schmidt, 63 years old, of $50 George street, and her neice were arrested Saturday afternoon for shop Hitting.
 The arrest was the result of two years of hard work by MT. Fleming of the Edward Malley company. He had long suspected Mrs Schmidt but could never fully satisfy himself of the jus- tice of his suspicious until Saturday.
 Shortly after o'clock he saw her taking a bit of muslin underwear, and when she slipped it under her cape he gave orders to have the detective sum moned, meanwhile engaging her atten- tion. The woman and her neice were taken to the central station and Mr. Fleming in company with Detective Dennehy went to the home of Mrs. Schmidt to make an investigation. There they found two trunks and sever boxes of plunder. The goods were es- timated by MT. Fleming to be worth between $500 and $400. A charge of theft was entered against each of the accused persons. They will be arraigned in the City court this morning.

soc1ALIsTIc DEBATE.
Anthony Carroll and Charles Mercer in
 Warner Hall Yesterday.

Anthony Carroll and Charles Mercer in
 Warner Hall Yesterday.
 The inelement weather of yesterday doubtless had a dampening effect on the ardor of those who had arranged to attend the debate by Anthony Carroll, of this city, and Charles Mercer, of Bridgeport, on the topic, Resolved, That socialism is preferable to the present capitalist system," and the at tendance at Warner hall was somewhat less than anticipated. However, about one hundred and fifty men and two women were present to hear the argu- ments on this very important question.
 It was announced at the offset that each speaker was to be allotted one hour and half, to be divided fifty-five minutes to MT. Mercer, who supported the affirmative, and one hour and half to MT. Carroll. for the negative; then MT. Mercer was to be given forty five minutes for rebuttal, as MT. Car roll did not desire to make any re- sponse.
 MT. Mercer began with a rather lengthy discussion of the status of af- fairs in England a hundred or more years ago, and told of the private own ership of all tools and commodities by the working classes of those days. He then traced the changes which the so ciety systems of the world have under gone since that day and the gradual evolution from the time when there was a mutual exchange of home made prod ucts between the producers to the pres ent, when man sells his labor and the sweat of his brow for certain stipu- lated weekly or monthly remuneration. He told and illustrated by maps the great breach between the laboring man and the capitalist of to-day, and gave this as the cause for the workingman's present social condition. He urged that the workingman think and act for himself and come to prompt realiza- tion that the capitalist was not at all necessary, that they could all go away tomorrow with their French poodles and other hobbies and the business of the great mills, factories. etc, would go on just the same. This was where the wage -earner of to-day would fit in and become a power rather than a slave.
 Mir. Carroll did not make an extensive reply, but confined himself in the main to statistics from the Century Die ary and the Encyclopedia Britannica, wherein he sought to point out the ex- act relative positions of capital and la bor and thus show that there was not the oppression and enmity, hatred and a hundred other things which the wage workers claim of the capitalist, except that the wage workers see fit to sell themselves for hire. He quoted at some length extracts concerning the first men of the socialist idea, Owen, St. Simon and others, and set up the capi- talist as the friend of the wage worker rather than the enemy.
 At the conclusion of the debate the judges, Joseph Reilly, M. J. Bumpster and Walter Walsh, were unable to de- eide, and vote of the audience was called for, which was in favor of the affirmative
