Information is being received by grain
traders in Chicago regarding the probable
damage to the wheat crop by the cold
wave, snow storms and billiards. in the
middle west, far west and southwest. There
is some fear that complaints of serious
damage may be looked for in the next few
days. Advices today were meager and
scattered from distant points Light SHOWS
were reported in Minnesota and the Dako-
tas, with traces of snow in Nebraska and
Iowa East of the Mississippi there was
considerable precipitation, which was of
benefit Lack of moisture In Kansas and
the southwest is causing serious fears.
Wind Injuries Wheat.
Near Junction City. Kan, cold wave,
followed by severe wind and sand storm,
has played havoc with the dry wheat fields.
In the region around Abilene, Kan, the
wind has injured the wheat, which Is small
and nearly drifted under.
From Nebraska comes the report that
winter wheat is all the way from 20 to 20
per cent dead There has been no snow or
rain In Nebraska since October. Despite
the advices received thus far, traders are
confident that the amount of damage by
the blizzard will not be extensive.
The cold wave was prevalent all over the
entire west Reports from many cities show
an astonishing drop in the temperature In
| many cases 80 to 60 degrees in few hours.
Damage From Prairie Fires.
The high winds famed several prairie
| fires In Kansas, which did much damage,
I and in other sections the wind amounted
! to almost hurricane, unroofing many
| houses. In Salina, Kan. small prairie fires
| were famed by the wind until they as
| sumed great proportions
| In Kansas City the mercury dropped 80
degrees within six hours, and the low tenn
perature was accompanied by a gale which
unroofed many houses in and near Kansas

CHECKED BY BAD WEATHER,
Distribution of Merchandise Affected,
and Collections Are Made
More Difficult.

New York, April 23.-R. G.. Dun E,
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade SAYS:
unreasonable weather is still the chief
drawback to Improvement in business,
complaints being received from every
section of the country, and slower COL
lectlOns are also attributed to this fac
tor. Not only is current distribution Of
merchandise, particularly dry goods,
affected by the thermometer, but flu
ture commitments are undertaken most
conserVatively on account of the posi-
bic injury to crops. There is much con-
hdence regarding the future, despite
the fact that at many points supplies
OF merchandise are burdensome.
Failures this week numbered 241 in
the United States, against 1866 last year,
and IL in Canada, compared with Is a
year ago."
Bradstreet's says: 'Unseasonably
cold weather all over the country in
terferes with plant preparations and
growth, and Interrupts outdoor activi-
ties in many lines, notably building.
Dlstrlbutive trade, both wholesale and
retail, has practically marked time''
during the week. The effect of this and
of past unfavorable weather are re-
iected in reports of slow business in
shoe manufacturing and building, while
in cotton manufacturing high prices of
raw and manufactured goods continue
a bar to activity. At the south, cold
weather is complained of as interfering
with farming preparations and with
plant growth. Those causes have COM
bined to give an air of 11nwonted quiet
to spring business and have unques-
tiOnably retarded collections. Back
Of weather and price conditions too
there looms up the political outlook
which in most presidential years has
