trade and transportation throughout tie mos. Of, the West. while widely huctuat- Ing markets Of cotton, coffee and the ce- reals make the speculative situation of tDose Staples a,-matter of concern The feeling grows that a later opening of spring trade and conservative buying are to be looked for~in many lines. Excep- tlons are to be found at the South, which reports wholesale active, especially In fertilizers, live stock and implements, all preparations looking to an immense acre. age In cotton. Next to this may it, classed the southwest which despite cold weather. reports trade satisfactory for the season. the outlook gcod and bank clearings very large.
 Eastern, trade reports are good as to retail winter trade which is said to have cleaned up old stocks of goods. As to spring trade. however. irregularity is noted. The spring business in shoes hes been a failure with Eastern manufac- turers but fall trade is yet absent. Mems wear woolens are not moving quickly for Tall delivery. Clothiers are buying con- servatively. Wools firm with stocks light and to 10c. higher, prices at Lon- don sales. Cotton goods are much dis- turbed. Buyers and sellers are alike un- certain. Mills that bought below 12c aie able to sell goods and ,rins freely b';t those with sbort stofks" of raw mate rial are reported considering short time.
 The iron trade shows but little chang Reports of large buying of pig iron are denied. Snow blockades have shortenc d temporarily supplies of Eastern mark1: :s and strengthened prices Southern iron is lower at Western centres though re- ported firm at Birmingham. Buying as whole is slow and of hand to mou .l character. Finished products show no great expansion. Two pools, the hoop and band, and the locomotive tire pco- pie, are reported to have dissolved. Plates and structural are in rather back ward sale and the strongest item Is wiie which is selling well. The other metal & copper, lead and tin, are all lower in price.

WEEKLY TRADEREViEW
COTTON AND COFFEE ATTAIN
 NEW HIGH RECORDS.
Reports Are Irregular, Improvement at the South and West Finding No ResEEnse at Larg
 CT Cities.

New York, Feb. 5.-R. G. Dun and company's weekly review of trade tomor- row will say:
 Sensational dealings in the great staples were the feature of the week, cotton and coffee attaining new high records for the season, but subsequently, declining sharply, while grain advanced.
 Trade reports are irregular, improve nient at the South and West finding little response at the large cities. Persistent low Temperature is providing a good de- rnand for heavy wearing apparel and in- creasing the difficulties of transportation. Spring buying are arriving in large num- bers with noteworthy eagerness to secure cotton goods even at the enhanced prices.
 Railway earnings for January averaged per cent.Iarger than in 1908.
 Progress Is slow in the iron and steel Industry. new business coming forward Reluctantly. In several lines it has not proven possible to ma;ntain price agree ments. some producers making special rates and the season opens with the pros pcct that there will be an open market for cotton ties. A better outlook is re- ported for structural steel.
 Just when buyers of cotton goods were beginning to exhibit a pronounced dls- position to place more liberal orders the collapse in the raw material produced hesitation. Consumers have reduced supplies in the hands of dealers to point that necessitated replenishing and the in- quiries for prompt shipment were expand ing. Notwithstanding this interruption a better volume of trade is in progress and 1t Is recognized that goods were by no means on parity with raw material at It's zenith. New England shoe manu- facturers have ample business in sight, but there is much complaint of the scar city of leather and the increased cost of production.
 Commercial failures this week in the United States are 246 against 302 last week and 264 the corresponding week last year, Failures in Canada number 29 against aS last week and 32 last year.

 One of the greatest difficulties the trust had to contend with, say local dealers, was the numbe rof independent concerns that have sprung up since its inception. There are now nearly twenty big inde- pendent manufacturers in the United States who have been able to carry or their business despite the efforts of the trust to create a monopoly.

EMPEROR GREETS
 DOWAGER QUEEN
MARGHARITA OF ITALY Ex- PRESSES DESIRE TO VISIT GER MANY AND IS CORDIALLY URGED BY WILLIAM TO DO so.

Rome, March 29.-The meeting between the Dowager Queen Margharita and Elm peror William which it seemed as if the elements were determined to prevent took place today. queen Margharita. although the weather was threatening, left Rome at an early hour by special train for Ter raina, where an automobile was in wait ing. Going swiftly to Gaeta, the queen en- joyed an exhilirating rush through the country the trip being accomplished without incident. At Gaela she boarded the Italian battleship Re Umberto, named after her deceased husband and went to meet Emperor William who was on his way from Naples to Gaela on board the imperial yacht Hohenzollern. The two ships thus met out at sea.
 The scene was picturesque, as many flags fiuttered gaily in the air. the crews cheered and the bands played the na- tional anthem of Italy and Germany. Elm peror William immediately boarded the Re-umberto and after half hour chat the queen accompanied him on board the Hohenzollern, where they had lunch.
 The queen was heard to say as she left the Hohenzollern for the Re-Umberto;
 "Now I have determined to vist Ger many"
 To which Emperor William replied: "As a friend, I hope you will"

SEALED LETTER IS
 BONE OF CONTENTION
First Days Hearing of Appeal By w. J.
 Bryan In PhiIo s. Bennett 3 Will Case.

New Haven, Conn.,, March 29.-Phllo S. Bennett's will was admitted as com potent document for probating by Judge Edwin B. Gager of the superior court as the result of the first days hearing in the appeal of William.J. Bryan from the de- cison of the probate court which dis allowed the 'sealed letter giving MT. Bryan s50O00. The chief contention-the admissibility of the sealed letter. as evidence-was being argued by counsel at fhe time the court adjourned for the day. Former Judge Stoddard who appears as senior counsel for Mrs. Bennett and the other heirs, fought every inch of the ground over which the appellants moved in their efforts to introduce evidence and at times he directed bitter invoctives and sarcasm against the opposing side,
 Practically the whole day was taken up in efforts of Henry G. Newton, counsel for MT. Bryan, to have admitted as evil dence the will, the ''sealed letter. and a fypewritten copy of the "sealed letter and this necessitated a repetition of the probate court proceedings only at greater length.
