A HELP TO TRADE.
Improvement in the Weather Is an
Aid to Distribution-Farm
Work Progressing.

New York, May 7.-Bradstreet's says:
Long expected good weather has at
last materialized and has helped farm
ers and retail trade in seasonabie
goods. Crop preparations and planting
has made especially good progress, the
present outlook being that while the
winter wheat crop will be short, the
acreage in spring wheat, oats and corn
will be heavily increased. Retail and
wholesale trade, however, has not ex-
perienced the stimulation earlier looked
for, there being a disposition so far
to regard results as below expectations
Recorder trade with jobbers is slow and
fall orders are backward. Other con-
ditions partake of irregularity. The
iron trade is quieter, with prices dis
tinctly weaker. On the other hand,
rather less than the usual number of
May strikes have occurred, and this
year so far makes a more favorable
showing than did 1903"
r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: Somewhat better retail
distribution has followed improvement
in temperature, but it came too late to
recover any large part of the tardy sea-
sons injury to spring trade. Some i'm
provements in collections, particularly
at the south and west, will also
strengthen weak concerns. The per-
centage of idle factories has increased,
especially in textiles and footwear.
Commercial failures this week in
the United States are 206, against POP

Failures in Canada number 81, against

REPORT ON CROPS.
Rains Retard Farm Work in MANY
Sections-Chilly Weather Has
Bad Effect.

Washington, May 4.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows: The north
ern Rocky mountain districts and the
states of the upper Mississippi val
ley have experienced a week of favor
able Temperatures, but throughout the
southern states, Ohio valley and the
greater part of the middle Atlantic
states and New England it has been too
cool for termination and growth. Rains
have prevented farm work in the Ohio
valley, Tennessee and portions of the
lower lake region, middle Atlantic states
and New England, while drought in the
south Atlantic and east gulf districts and
over the southern Rocky mountain
increased severity. With the exception
of Kansas, southern Missouri and Ar
kansas corn planting has progressed
slowly, but preparations for this
throughout the corn belt have been ex-
tensive, and with good weather the COM
ing week planting will be vigorously
pushed in Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and
Indiana.
In Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri
winter wheat has advanced favorably
except where damaged by floods in the
last-named state. In Illinois, Ohio, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, the Virginias, Mary
land and North Carolina an improve
ment is indicated, but in Indiana, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania much will be plowed
up, and the outlook in Michigan is poor.
Wheat is now heading in southern Kan
sas.
Dat seeding is nearly finished in the
northern portion of the central val
leys and is we'll advanced in the lake
region. In Iowa the stands are better
than were expected, and while some
complaints of slow termination are re-
ported from Illinois, the general outlook
in that state and in portions of Nebraska
and Kansas is promising.
While most reports indicate that
peaches have been extensively killed,
the outlook continues promising in sec
tions. Apples and other fruits in the
more southerly districts have suffered
less injury.

DEATH OF SAM PARKS.
Life of Once Noted Labor Leader
Ends in Sing Sing Prison
His Career.

Ossining, n. Y, May Sam Parks,
the New York labor leader, who was
sent to Sing-Sing prison some months
ago, after his conviction on a charge of
extortion, died in prison. Wednesday.
He had consumption at the time of his
conviction, and had failed rapidly since
he was sent to Sing Sing.
Sam Parks was prominent for years
in labor circles, being a leader in Chi
cago before coming to New York, and
the loyalty to him of his,associates was
remarkable. He was walking delegate,
or business agent, of the local House
smiths and Bridgemen's union for sew
eral years, and it was under his leader
ship that the big strike of iron workers
in New York last year was inaugurated.
That strike involved the national iron
workers organization, and National
President Buchanan finally announced
himself as against Parks and the gen.
eral strike throughout this country
which the New York leader sought to
have ordered. The contest was carried
to the annual convention of the union,
where Parks won to the extent that he
prevented the recognition of rival To-
cal union, which had the approval of
both President Buchanan and the New
York contractors. During last summer
charges of extortion were made against
Parks, and he was finally convicted, it
