Destructive Trade at Most Leading

p, New York, Feb. =. 25.-Bradstreet's
weekly review Of trade says with the
exception of a few lake and seaboard
ports which show effect of past bad
weather, So, distributiye trade at most
leading markets assumes a more favor

ers. Especially active lines are dry
goods, notions, bots and shoes, rub,
Der goods, hats, hardware and gro
ceries. Jobbers stocks are generally
reported light and feeling grows that
spring trade will be heavy as soon as
seasonable weather definitely sets in.
Relatively the best reports as to trade
come from the Central valleys and the
South. The, general tendency of re-
ports as to the winter wheat crop is
that the heavy snow covering has
helped the crop Heavy rain on the
Pacific coast has made for good crop
prospects, especially in California.
Wooden goods are selling fairly we'll,
though recent advances are said to
have checked business in some lines.
Among the industries iron and steel
still show relatively the most active
demand and the larger turnover. The
market seems to be turning more in
sellers favor. .a '

PROPOSAL FOR PEACE
JAPAN STATES THE TERMS UPON
~ WHICH SHE WOULD AGREE il
lin. TO END THE WAR:

Washington, Feb. Acknowledgment
ing energetic denials, Official and 9TH
erwlse, 1t is true that, without putting
herself in an attitude of suing for
peace or even Of being DESTROYS of
peace If Russia wished to continue the
war, Japan took definite step in the
direction of peace, and ascertainment
of all the facts proves that the advance
(for such it may truly be called) was
made through this government.
Sever days ago Mr.. Tahahira, Japa-
nese minister, called on the president
and told him Japan was ready to talk
peace if Russia desired! It. and indi-
Gated the terms ON which negotiations
might be opened. He said tbs chief
points on which Japan would insist
are: -"
Complete and permanent evacuation
of Manchuria by Russia and some form
Of an international guarantee that It
should remain an integral part Of
China. --+---,.-s>s,y--a.e
International management to, be pro-
vided for the line of railroad running
from Hardin to Port Arthur and New
'chwang.
Recognition Of Japan's influence in
Korea as supreme.
Port Arthur to be- retained by Japan,
but to be opened to all the nations on
an equal footing.
The subject of indemnity, which
seems to have been troubling Russia
most. was not mentioned, the infer
ence being that Japan considered 1t
minor question over which she will
not haggle. Vladivostok was referred
to in way which indicated that Japan
was willing that Russia should retain
that port and use 1t as the eastern
terminus of the Siberian railroad.

STATE FAIR PROPOSITION. :.

It is reported the state fair matter
has been settled-as between Fargo
and Grand Forks. 1t has been agreed,
according to the reports current, by
the representatives of those two towns
that Fargo is to have the fair in the
even numbered years and Grand Forks
in the odd numbered years. If this
arrangement finds favor with the leg
islators, Grand Forks will have the
first state fair this year, provided the
bill passes and becomes law. But
this does not take Mandan into &C
count. The representatives Of that
city are apt to be found strenuously
opposing a measure that uncermon-
iously deprives them of the fair Al
together, the, state fair matter has
been one Of the features of the ses-
sion, not from it's Importance to the
state generally, but because Of the
rivalry it has engendered between
Fargo and Grand Forks, with Mandan
on the side watching the scrapping. It
would doubtless be well If the fair
matter were settled at this session,
one way or another. 1t seems to have
exercised forceful, if not at all times
wholesome, influence on legislation in
general 'E3!' ;.5,z .a go
It is a question if the whole PROPOSE
ton Of a state, fair is not premature
and an infection rather than a benefit.
District fairs, encouraged to a certain
extent by the state-say one dollar
appropriation for ever two raised by
the district association-might be OF
greater real benefit than a so-called
state fair which, it is doubtful can for
many years in any way approximate
in magnitude and interest the north
western exposition now SO formidably
established at the twin cities Of st.
Paul and Minneapolis. District fairs
would be attended by larger number
Of people interested in agricultural
horticultural and stock raising pur-
suits than will ever attend a state
proposition. The dates could be fixed
at times convenient for circuit work SO
that attractions could be secured for
each event and would be brought near
er the people. District fairs would
succeed where state fairs. will become
burden to any community that as
sumes the responsibility Of manage
ment and from one legislature to the
next the management can never figure
on definite support. >s@% 5'. o.

The coming week will mark the
ending of the legislature. It is i'm
possible to say yet just what will have
been accomplished by this session. for
the reason that large number of i'm
portant bills are yet to be acted upon.
In fact, aside from the capitol commits
sion bill and the primary election
measure few important measures have
been disposed Of by both houses. The
work of the steering committee of the
two houses will be considerable in the
coming week. With several hundred
bills on the road to passage, there will
be rush in the last week to obtain
the passage of measures from various
sources. The appropriation bills, al
though reported by the house commit
tee, have not yet been passed. As
matter Of fact. there was little neces-
sity for creative legislation at this
session. The measures presented were
mostly amendatory and corrective.
The primary election bill stands as
notable contribution to the creative
legislation Of the session. The meas
ure meets with general approval and
time seems to mark the wisdom of
the party leaders in insisting upon the
passage OF fair and temperate meas
ure, meeting with party pledges and
based upon the experience OF other
states instead Of radical measure as
proposed by the extremists.
