COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
r. &C. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review

R. C. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
of Trade says:
Trade returns are increasingly salts
factory, continued high temperature ac-
celebrating distribution in all leading
lines. The closing days of March
brought greater confidence regarding the
future, and results for the first quar-
ter of 1905 proved even more favorable
than was anticipated when the year
opened. Sanguine expectations Of man
ufacturers who made extensive prep1-
rations are now being realized. Re-
ports from the South indicate that the
period of hesitation is about over and
agricultural sections are stimulated by
prospects of a good season for. planting.
Freight congestion has followed the
heavy shipment of Spring merchandise,
and railway earnings in three weeks
of March were 81 per cent. larger than
in 1904 Official returns make the cot
ton crop fully q third larger than the
one preceding. and still prices are far
from demoralized.
With the subsistence of floods. the
mills have resumed, water traffic is
heavy, and the percentage of unefn-
ployed is seasonably reduced.
A steady demand is noted in all de-
partments of the iron and steel indus
try, orders constantly coming forward,
and most plants are assured of activity
for many months, while some mills de-
cline contracts for shipment any time
before 1906.
Mild weather improves the quality
of hides, especially from the Southwest,
and the tone of the market is decidedly
frmer. New England factories are re-
ceiving "a fair amount of new bust
ness from statesmen at the West, and
duplicate Spring contracts also arrive,
calling for immediate delivery. A bet
ter feeling is noted in the primary mar
ket for cotton goods.
Failures this week numbered 244 in
the United States, against 2o8 last year,
and 80 in Canada, compared with 10
year ago.

CHILDREN AFFECTED
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched into
life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mothers
milk. Mothers cannot be too careful
as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience of Kan
sas City mother is case in point:
II was a great coffee drinker from

meal without 1t. But found at last
it was doing me harm. For years
had been troubled with dizziness.

heart. to which was added, two years
ago. chronic sour stomach. The
baby was born seven months ago, and
almost from the beginning it, too, suf-
fered from sour stomach. She was
taking it from me!
I'm my distress I consulted q friend
of more experience than mine, and she
told me to quit coffee, that coffee did
not make good milk; 1 have since as

Coffee with the happiest results. 1t
proved to be the very thing l needed.

of my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum, quickly got

in my heart or sour stomach. Postum
has cured them.

Big Bag OF Jack Rabbits.
Thirty-nine jack rabbits were killed
the other night at one shot by Mrs.
William Boyd Of Miller, S. D., who
poked the barrel Of her shotgun
through the kitchen window. The rab-
bits came to the farm in droves, nib
bled at the haystacks and played hav-
&C with fruit trees. Boyd had shot
many and his wife bet him a pair Of
ear muffs against barrel of apples
that she could kill more rabbits at
one shot than he could carry on his
back at one load. Mrs. Boyd sprink-
led a bushel of oats in a path. The
rabbits gathered by scores until there
was long row of them eating oats
in the bright moonlight. The woman
fred. and her aim was accurate. Boyd
loaded himself down with more than
100 pounds of dead rabbits. then sank
into the snow and his wife had to pull
him out.

TRIPLE PLAYS ARE RARE.
But TWO Men Have Pulled Them on
unassisted.

A triple play is one Of the rare
things in baseball, because 1t requires
combination of circumstances which
seldom occur. There must be at least
two men on the bases, and no one out.
Then the next batter must hit the ball
in certain way, or the chance for q
triple is lost. In addition to this, the
fielding must be perfect and fast. But
two triple plays, made by one man I'M
assisted, have ever been recorded.
One was the famous play of Paul
Hines way back in the early sos.
The other is fresh in the mind, al
though it was made in a minor
league.
In 1901 Harry O'Hagan was playing
first base for Columbus, in the West
ern association. Tin canned, he went
East to Newark, and the day after he
donned New Jersey uniform ne
pulled off the play that made MIN
famous. With men on first and second
and, of course, nobody out, O'Hagan
was playing close to the bag, when
the next batter hit a liner directly into
his hands. The force of the ball was
enough to knock him back so that his
foot touched the first sack, retiring
the runner, who was of the base.
O'Hagan, turning to throw to second,
saw that the runner there had started
at the crack of the bat and was nearly
to third. So, instead of throwing the
ball, he sprinted to second base with
it in his hand, arriving in time to put
the third man out on the play.
Last season the Kansas City club
of the American association made two
triple plays in one game at Toledo.
