DUN's TRADE REVIEW.

New York. March B.-R. G. Dun and Companys weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 Improvement in trade and industry continues favorable, reports largely out numbering adverse influences. The most important event of the week was the two thirds vote by bitimunous coal miners to accept the proposed reduction in wages. This will proDably prevent a serious struggle that would paralyize manufac- turing just when It IS beginning to re Vive.
 Complications have arisen in the local building trades that retard structural work but a settlement is anticipated and the open weather is stimulating outdoor work at other points Retail distribution of Easter goods steadily expands. Traf- fic delays are stlll causing complaint and the movement of exhibits to the St. Louis exposition provides tem4 4orary feature of importance: Railway earnings thus far available for March show a decrease of only 0.S per cent as compared with last years figures.
 Another week has brought no check to the progress in the iron and steel induA- try. Improvement does not come sud denly nor is there any inclination to ad. vance prices by bounds as in the boom -four years ago. This conservatism will bring beneficial results if continL Led. All divisions of the pig iron market are more active and the level of prices tends grad ualy upward. The leading interest is closing its options by taking the iron and
 
 when the option expires next month.
 While no material increase Is reported in sales of steel for railroad or structural purposes the tone of the market is bet ter. Pipe Is one of the strongest features Of the industry. The fuel situation Is at tracting attention. coke shippers being unable to secure cars. Increased strength and activity Is noted in the hide market. Leather Is also 3n better demand, t.e laI gest individual transaction ever re- corded in union sole having occurred at private terms. Shoe shops are receiving few orders yet there Is confidence regarding the future. Dullness is the chief characteristic of the primary market for dry goods and in some cases prices are shaded although the general position. of textiles is un- changed. Cotton mills are SOW to accept forward business insisting on higher prices than are offered in most cases. No further reduction in output is recoreed but more idle machinery is expected shortly, both North and South.
 Failures this week number 29 in the United States. compared with 20 last year and 2l in Canada, against p a year ago.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW BACKWARDNEss OF SPRING HAS
 EFFECT. At The Same Time There Has Been Developments of a Favorable Character-Iron and Steel
 Outlook.

Now York, March 1s.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 The backwardness of spring trade. gen. orally attributed to almost unnterrupt- edIy bad weather, tinges reports from distributive centers. but several develop ments of the week have been notably favorable. Chief among these might be mentioned the arrival of much needed western wheat belt, the continued i'm provement in the iron and steel trade, and the decision of the bituminous coal miners not to strike against proposed reductions of wages. Liquidation in the cereal markets and in cotton accompn- ried by sharp price breaks Is also gel eraily construed as allowing of improve ment of actual consumptivc demand. The railway situation shows a gain.
 Southern reports continue good, though the spring trade in wholesale lines is be- ginning to slacken and retail trade has not as yet begun to expard. The i'm proVement noted in iron and steel ~ has progressed still further. The large buy ing by leading interests some weeks ago has induced freer purchasing by smaller interests. Agricultural implement manu- lecturers are doing the best business in years The railroads are reported still backward in taking supplies but late re- ports point to some leading systems com ing into the market for steel rails. Vest ern car works are reported actively em- ployed and shop supplies and tools are reported to be in more active request. Rather more unrest is noted in the gen. eral industrial situation but the only ac- tual outbreaks are those of the building Iaborers at New York and of Autograph CTS. These strikes if continued are ex- pected to injure the general building sit uatton in New York and the paper trade throughout the country. Demand for woolen goods from manufacturers agents is reporting disappointment and wools sell more freely though concessions in prices are limited by the small available stocks.
 The situation in the shoe trade is rath- CT irregular, Leather is firm to strong

A PICTURE OF POWELL
01L PORTRAIT OF DUKE OF
 BIRMINGHAM.
At Has Been Donated to Department oh Archives and History by
 Mrs. Crane of
 Mississippi. :.

= hie-sized bust oil painting of the late .oM James R. Powell. Duke of Bir- insham' was received yesterday at the tory.
 The painting of the great industrial !eaoer Is an original one, and was con r,lDuted nd by Mrs. Mary Powell Crane of DDeizona' Miss. daughter of Colonel
 Colonel Powell was one of the great captains of industry of Alabama, rank ing as an industrial promoter with Jeme- son. Pollard, Matthews. Goldsby, Morris ana Mhner. The late Colonel Warren s. Heese or this city was his nephew
 James Robert Powell of Jefferson county was one of the best known cit gems or the State. He was born in brunswick County, Virginia, December |, lSl4. His father was at first wealthy. but suddenly lost his property. and after la- boring on farm for two years, the son came 10 this State in 1S33 He had hotel at Lowndesboro and at Montgomery, and removed to Wetumpka in 1886. There he began his remarkable career as stage owner and mall contractor, which lasted for twenty-five years and was thick with stirring incidents. His memorable con tests With Messrs. Jemison of Tuscaloosa, John G. Winter of Montgomery. and oth- CT rivals. for the possession of stage routes and mail contracts, are among the freside stories of Alabama.
 He became sheriff of Coosa County, and in 1Si5 represented the county in the lower House, as he did in the Senate in 1853. Shortly after he removed to Mont gomery and was leading and wealthy citizen here till he went to Jefferson County in 1871. as President of the Eiyton Land Company, to lay the foundation of a manufacturing city amidst the marvel ous mineral resources of that county
 Colonel Powell was the least negative and passive of men. His energy and en- terprise, his sagacity and public spirit, were only equalled by the expansive view he took of all questions that affected tho public veal. During the late war he fur nished an entire company with horses at his own expense. and gave literally to- wards their equipment. Having gathered a large quantity of ice during the war, when 1t was so much needed. and could not be obtained. he gave it to the Confed- crate Government for the wounded though offered $40.0 900 for it. 4 Hon. Thomas D. Clarke of Talladega and Hon. J. H. Weaver Of Coosa County married sisters of Colonel Powell.

 It certainly seemed a very long dis tance to the branch. and the night was very black-a veritable ink blot over the face of the earth.
 Several different times Constantine paused, hesitated. started to go back; then finally pursued her way in trepi- dation. The excitement which had bouy- ed her up since morning threatened to ooze suddenly in a burst of nervous tears. Still. she persevered.
 When but few yards from the tryst. she sat down weakly on the edge of a stump and fumbled fretfully among the laces at her bosom for the hidden paper. She drew It out with unsteady fingers, and as best she could. by the pale road light in the distance, glimpsed for the hundredth time the words written in- side:

It Would Injure Railroad Eployees.
 (Communicated)
Montgomery, Ala, M

Montgomery. Ala, March r, 1904. Editor The Advertiser:
 If Mir. Conner would look at both sides of the question he is agitating. viz. about a 40 per cent cut in freight rates, he could hardly came to any other con- clusion than that he is not only making a fight against the railroads. but against railroad employees as well, for If he suc- ceeds in having this immense cut in rates made, the railroad companies will be compelled to meet the cut in some way, and would 1t not be perfectly natural for them to reduce expenses in their various offices? This would make a cut either in office force or in salary. So you will see that MT. Conner would be yielding a two- edged sword. He would work a great hardship on a great many railway em- ployes.
 A cut in wages among railway employees will mean possible strikes, and inde- scribable suffering, for at least 60 per cent of the railway employees have faml- lies dependent upon them for support, and on the heads of innocent women and children would fall the blow.
 Granting that thN-e would be no strikes, the cut in wages or force would also work a hardship, for 1t would take away from the employees some of the advantages they now enjoy. E. M. Riley.-1t.
