The TOnopah Railroad

About one and one-half miles of the
rails of the Tonopah railroad have been
laid and the company is working fifty
men, employing as many as they can
secure. They have made arrangements
with the Caldela ia Water Company
for the precious fluid. The contract
calls for 5000 gallons per day. This
will be p'ped six miles to Summit
where a $4,000 gallon tank will be soor
ected. The locomotive will begin to
haul rails. ties and other supplies a,
once. AS soon as twenty miles of the
track are completed, passenger train
will be put on to cover that distance
and the stage ride will be shortened
that much. The first ride into Ton
opah is to be free one.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
BRADSTREET AND DUN SUM-
 MARIZE SITUATION.
The Unusually Cold Weather All Over the Country Has Had Its Effect in Greatly Retard-
 ing Business.

New York, April 22-Bradstreet's tomor- row will say: Unseasonably cold weather all over the country interferes with planting preparations and growth and interrupts outdoor work . many lines, notably building dlstributive trade, by the wholesale and retail, has practically marked time during the week. The eff fects of these are reflected In reports Of slow business in shoe manufacturing ard building, while in cotton manufacturing high prices of raw and manufactured goods stop activity. The cold Is com plained of as interfering with farming operations and with planting In the South These causes have combined to give an air 5ot unwonted quiet to spring business and have unquestionably retard- ed collections.
 Back of weather and price cond tions, too, the Presidential elections has induced a tendency towards conservatism. Among the industries. iron and steel are even more quiet than last week. Buyers for delivery during the second quarter are as insistent as ever in demands for de- livery, but makers of finished products, with few exceptions. observe hesitation in tfsa placing of orders for the balance of the year. this hesitancy being increased by the redTtion in the price of ore. Az ricultural implement manufacturers are among the freest buyers of steel, but the railroads are taking only sparingly. Wool machinery could be more active and the market for raw wool Is rather low at the East though higher prices than last year are reported being paid for the new wool clip at the West. Raw weakened.
 There seemed exception to the quiet tone noted. and especially in the rubber trade which is quite active. In lumber . which shows more activi'. in some sec tions, in hardware and in anthracite coal. which Is selling well in anticipati 1n of the usual monthly advances and on con tlnued cold weather.
