DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
The Usual DuIIness In Trade that Fol-
lows the Holidays Prevails.

New York, Jan. 9.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Retail trade has been somewha t
SLOW to recover from holiday dull
ness, partly because of the bad
weather, which also retarded collec-
tons to some extent. Ira Tic was
lmpeded and shipments of merchan-
disc delayed. On the other hand, low
temperature stimulated the demand
Tor seaSonable goods, and burden
some stocks in the hands of dealers
were reduced. Jobbers and manufac-
turers in those lines received supple
mentary orders and the wool market
became frmer in tone, although sales
uld not increase materially.
Mills and factories report irregular
conditions, some industries opening
the new year under very favora BILE
auspices. while other branches are
extremely quiet.
In the leading manufacturing in
dustry the year opens with quiet con
ultions as to demand, but much ir-
regularity in the matter of wages.
Numerous reductions went into eff
feet, and several others are contem-
plated. During the last quarter the
net earnings of the leading producer
were less than half those of the cor
responding months of 1902, and SINH
larly unsatisfactory exhibits were
made by other concerns. These ofii-
cial returns indicate the heavy con
traction in this industry, and there
was very large decrease in orders
on hand at the opening Of the year.
Violent fluctuations in the price of
raw material has a restrictive influ-
ence on the market for cotton goods.
New lines of heavy weight woolens
are opened slowly, thus far being
confined to low grades, but there is
fair movement in carpets, blankets
and tlannels. Eastern shoe shops are
shipping freely.
Failures this week in the United
States are 400, against $50 the cor
responding week last year. Failures
IN Canada number 81, against "A iast
year.

require a change of administra ton
The people want sanity rather than
hEsteria in the management of public
affairs; stability rather than tickle
ness; honorable diplomacy rather
than international intrigue; straight
forwardness rather than fakery and
honesty rather than corruption.
With wise counsels, live issues, con-
servative candidates and unity of ac-
tion the democracy can win the con-
test of 1904"
Senator Tillman, in sending his re-
grets, said
me democratic party viii live as
long as 1t deserves to, and will COM
mand the support of a maiority of

its adherence to the grand principles
of the fathers. When we stand for

differences on matters of policy, but
no candidate can succeed who is OBJ

was obnoxious to the east.

PENSION REFUSED.
"A Man Sentenced to Prison for Life
rs Legally Dead.

HS ht1iilS
Washington. Jan. Accommodations
of Pensions Ware yesterday decided
that all rights to pension are barred
by conviction of crime and sentence
TO prison for life. The decision is
made in the case of William b. Marsh,
convict in the house of correction
in Detroit, serving "A life sentence for
robbing the United States mail in
Idaho. But for this, claimants ten
months of army service would en-
title him to pension. Commissioner
Ware holds:
~ pension is for the purpose of
supporting a soldier during his de-
clining years, and is a gratuity. AS
the claimant in this case is being very
carefully and kindly taken care of by
the government, it is fulfilling its
duty to him already; and as this is to
continue during the life of the claim
ant for an offense against the gov
eminent it. is not reasonable to sup
pose that the case is within the pur-
view of the statutes.
by conviction of the crime, and
sentence to prison for life, the man
has become civilly dead, and do not
think that it is an unfair interpre-
tation of the law to hold that when
man becomes civilly dead he be-
comes dead for pensionable purposes;
therefore let the claim be rejected"
