 New York, May 5.--R c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Weather irregularities provided the only check to business partly through the direct effects on retail distribution of seasonable wearing apparel. buS more through the development of cau- tion among traders in some agricultural sections, where crops have been dam- aged or farm work retarded On the whole, however, encouraging progress Is shown in most trade reports and inc dustrial activity is unabated- Textile manufacturing Is in a better position than at any recent date. the strength Of the raw material giving additional hrtn- ness to finished fabrics.

CUT
THE RATES
TELEPHONE COMPANY WILL RE,
DUcE SCHEDULE FOR TWO
KINDS OF SERVICE.
Measured Service Will Have Increased
Number Of Calls for Same Price
and Open Service Will Have Re-
duced Rates-System to Be Great
ly Improved in City.

Mr.. A. ]. Vance of Cheyenne, the
superintendent of the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone company, is in the city
this afternoon, with Manager Pindar of
the local exchange, measuring and get
ting estimates for some cables to be
placed here in the determination of the
company to greatly improve the local
service. Some of the lines will be
practically rebuilt, and what is best
of all, there will be a large reduction
in rates for the use of telephones.
Among the reforms almost certain to
come is the reduction of the price of
the measured service. or, rather, no re-
duction in the price collected, but an
extension of the service. House tele-
phones now paying 81 a month for a
maximum of twenty calls for the month
will be granted a maximum Of thirty
calls, with the same rate for calls in
excess of the maximum, adding o n
siderably to the srvice in that direc-
ton. There will also be a reduction
of the rates in the open service, bring
ing the charges down about 80 per
cent.
