TRADE OUTLOOK GOOD
Grain Crop and Industrial Reports
Are Encouraging.


Are Encouraging.
New York, April s.-Bradstreets
today says:
Trade, the grain crop and industrial
reports are in the main very favorable.
Western merchants who earlier in the
season bought conservatively, are now
reordering freely. Money continues
easy to most points. Gross railway
earnings for March indicate gain
of 90 per cent over a year ago.
Relatively the best reports come
from the great west. the buoyancy of
advices from which is in marked con-
trast with the same period year ago.
Estimates Of the quarters business
at the leading western markets range
from to Is per cent gain over 1904,
the heaviest increase being in dry
goods Lumber, shoes. paint, glass.
clothing, and millinery also show gains
over last year. At the east some lines
of business are very active, but the
dry goods trade is very spotted owing
to the backwardness of demand In
some lines of cotton and wool. Meas
ures of recently past trade and fiscal
operations point to an enormous turn
|sover in the first quarter of 1905.
In the iron and steel industry finish
ed products are eagerly bought and
high premiums are paid, but there is
apparently an easier tone to crude
pig iron and sellers are more disposed
to book ahead into the third and fourth
quarters at prevailing prices.
Wheat, including flour exports for
the week ending April 6, are ss6,o17
bushels against 1.s54,000 bushels this
week last year. From July l to date
the exports are 4S,514,346 bushels
against 117S53,oOO last year.
Corn exports for this week are 81
1868 bushels against 1,02S,9O7 year
ago From July to date the exports
of corn are 60,S45,4S bushels against
47,535,175 bushels in 1904.

CATTLE UNCHANGED.
There Was the Usual Light Sat
urday Demand and Prices
Were About Same
a GOOD WEEK FOR SELLERS
Ruling Prices For the Week Have
Been the Highest of the Year-The
Hog Market Was Animated at
Slightly Lower Prices-Trade in
Sheep Was Active.

Chicago, April s. = Cattle - The
market was unchanged today, with the
usual light Saturday demand. Ruling
prices this week have been the highest
of the year.
Some sellers believed the drop in
prices Friday was merely a forerun-
ner of what may be expected at the
start next week in the event of too
liberal offerings. Some traders anti
cipate big run here next Monday, and
estimates ranged up to $4,000, while
few anticipated under $4,000, and the
general opinion prevailed that prices
will fall should supplies be much
above the volume arriving on Mon
days in recent weeks. The sensation
al advances in values of late have
put the range to a point which buy
ers claim has been out of reason in
consideration of the poor beef mar
ltet this season, and tho the consump-
tive demand has broadened in the
past week or two buyers say cattle
prices have risen relatively much fas-
ter than wholesale values.
1t seems reasonable to most trad
ers that after a big bulge in prices
such as has been noted this week,
country shippers will make strenu-
Gus efforts to round UP big consign-
ments, and sellers say the only thing
which will prevent a big run here on
Monday is a bullish spirit among
owners.
Hogs.
There was a good Saturday run and
the market was animated, prices OPEN
ing little lower and receiving most
of the decline later, but best sold 21s
lower than yesterday.
Receipts for the week will foot up
less than last week, but promise to
be heavier than a year ago, and an
expansion in the movement is expect
ed next week, as oat seeding is prac-
tically completed, and the advance this
week is calculated to promote activity
in shipping circles. The trade is look
ing for 100000 to $4,000 next week.
No one in the trade will be surprised
if 100000 hogs arrive next week. Oat
seeding is about done, country roads
are in good shape and present prices
are attractive.
Sheep.
Trade active to the extent Of the
supply at unchanged prices.
Weeks Receipts.
The weeks receipts:
Cattle, 56,soo; hogs. 10000; sheep,
$4,000.
Receipts last week: Cattle, $4,000;
hogs, $4,000; sheep, $4,000.
Receipts for the week will foot up
considerably less than year ago. but
are only few thousand less than last
week, Shipping trade has been much
better than last year at this time, but
not as good as last week, owing to
heavy supplies and lower markets
down east.

Farmers in the West.

Butte, Mont, April S.-Federal Off

R. G. DUN g co.'s REVIEW.
1t Says That Business Gains Are Well
Maintained.


New York, April s.-R. G. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade to-
day says:
Recent gains in the volume of bust
ness are fully maintained, but further
Improvement is somewhat retarded by
unfavorable weather in some sections.
Manufacturing returns are all that
could be desired, building operations
expand as the season advanced, and
agricultural prospects are better than
normal There is little friction be-
tween capital and labor, most new
wage scales being arranged on the old
basis and in some cases advances are
granted, while the number of unen-
ployed is steadily decreasing. Freight
traffic is very heavy and railway earn
ings in March were go per cent larger
than last year. Foreign commerce at
this port is very heavy, exports for the
last week exceeding the same week in
1904, by s1,59O,sO9, while imports in
creased $1,975,296.

the higher prices at Liverpool, wheat
here today had a weak undertone. De-

most modern problem so far as the
necessity for any solution of it has
been felt or efforts to solve it have
been made. 1t was just a hundred
years ago that a physician of Leeds,
England, complained that he was I'M
Ible to meet the expense of providing
supports for the bent bones of the
little children Of the mills. There is
world of pathos in that historic fact
that the complaint was not against
any one responsible for the bent bones
but against a hospital administration
that did not provide the needed sup
ports for the deformed limbs. The
deformity was an incident Of child la
Dor and child labor was presumed TO
be a necessity, or even if an evil, one
that could not be touched by law
But England and other European
countries have been wrestling with
the problem for two or three gen.
erations and we may at least learn by
their experience to avoid their faii-
ures. What has been dismissed as a
wrong solution of the problem in
crowded Europe need not be tried

the subject of child labor in England

England are bitter against this half
time system, as it is called, requiring
that the child who is allowed to work
six hours in the mill shall attend
school on the same day. 1t was found
that there were in 1902, 100000 OF
these "lulf-timers," $4,000 being III
the factories, and ti,at even this
amount of work iii the factories,
coupled with confinement at school,
eStunts tire growth of the child six
inches, with a corresponding diminu-
tion in weight. We suspect that Mas
sachusetts IS making the same
blunder in requiring iliterate chill
dren over fourteen to attend d night
school. 1t is better to have a higher
age limit for illiterates. thus putting a
premium on education. The New
York law which is considered the best
one makes fourteen the age limit and
forbids any child under sixteen, whoI
cannot read and write, to work in the
mills.
Child Labor Laws i'm Different States.
In America the laws on the subject
of child labor are as different in the |
various States as the laws on divorce. !
Just as the laws on divorce are better |
in the South than in the North and
West. so the laws on child labor are |
better in the North and West than in |
the South. The plan for a uniform

But the evil is a national evil and |
all the States should aim for the high |
est standard both in legislation and
in the effective enforcement of the
laws 1t has sometimes happened !
that where the laws We're of low |
standard the actual standard kept by |
employers has been high. 1t has
sometimes happened that where the |
laws were good, by the connivance of
the officials the laws have been Vio- (
lated. A successful fight was waged
against Factory Inspector Campbell, |
