SPRING TRADE IS
BACKWARD
Owing to the Continued Cold
Weather Throughout the
Country, Especially East

New York, Feb. 12.-Bradstreets to-
day publishes the following
Cold weather is still a bar to ex-
pansion in spsing trade throughout
the west, but signs of life are frequent
in lead ng eastern markets. The Bal
timore fire and the beginning of hos
tilities in the far east though af-
fecting speculative markets to SOM
etxent, have not had notable results
in trade outside of sections immedi-
ately concerned, though some of the
present great strength of prices of
most commodities may be attributed
to the latter development. Trade and

tracted a severe cold shortly after

weeks ago. He was taken down
week ago today. and much against his
will has been confined to the house
since that time. Every symptom In
dicated that he was suffering from
an unusually severe cold and tonsilitis.
and believing that 1t was nothing more
he refused to have a doctor summon
ed or to submit to treatment. Seeing
that he was steadily growing worse
his associates sent a messenger Thurs
day night after DR.. Mangan. who
started out early yesterday morning.
When about twenty miles out. the doc
tpr met the incoming stage bearing
Mr.. Tomblin's remains. he having
passed peacefully away at 2:45 yes
terday morning.

dertaker's at once and cared for and
