New York. Feb. .-Bradstreet's S

severe and widely distributed in some
respects of the winter, has had de
pressing effect on the trade and has
disorganized railroad transportation in

with various lines of industry. Rela.
lively the worst effect on opening

Despite this drawback, however
some favorable features come TO light
upon examination. The iron and steel
situation is, if anything. rather strong
eT. Heavy sales of southern pig iron
are reported north and south. some
large sales of rails are announced at
the west and the nervousness of con
sumcTs for supplies is reelected in ad-
yances for a number of lines of finish
ed products.
Cotton Goods Demand Increase.
An encouraging feature in the dry
goods trade at the east is the increas-
ing inquiry for cotton goods for eX-
port to China and other counties. This
has resulted in an actual scarcity of
coarse cotton sheetings and drills for
domestic use. Mems wear woolens are
active at New York. There is more
case in the market for foreign raw
wOois.

sympathy for Emperor.
The tragedy struck deep in the heart
of the perplexed and tried emperor and
many who were unsparing in theii
criticism yesterday today have only
expressions Of sympathy for his un
happy lot. The bitter cup which dur
ing the last year has been pressed
again and again to his lips is once
more filed TO the brim and in almost
pathetic words this morning he asked
his subjects 10 pray for the repOst of
the soul OF his murdered uncle.
Death In the Air.
Death is in the air. No one knows
when the next blow will fall. The au-
thorities realize their impotency to-
ward off the swift hand of the terror
lists, murder in the streets being pos
sibie at any instant. The only safety
seems to lie in seeking refuge behind
palace walls. and all the imperial fam
lily have been warned not to venture
out.
Papers Are Serious.
Although only the official papers ap-
near with black borders the editor
ials of all of them are strangely so
ber. Some papers which in the past
have been ready to lay almost any
charge at the door of Grand Duge Ser
gius are drawing back before the
prospects that reform may give way TO
an era of oppression. But even in
the midst of universal reprobation of
the crime the majority express hope
that after all the darkest hour comes
just before the dawn.
ReVoIutIonIsts EIated.
Among the revolutionists. however
there is a sentiment of elation. They
openly glory in the deed proclaiming
that it removes the most Teactionary
influence at court and also proclaim
the general theory that in the absence
of armed resistance only by terror can
concessions be wrung from the hands
of the autocracy.
According to their view any weapon
is justifiable AS matter of fact it
is too early yet to say what the politi-
cal effect will be. For the moment
everything is at standstill.
All send Condolences.
Expressions Of coincidence have
reached the emperor direct from prac-
tically all the governments.
