 New York. March 5.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 More spring like weather has in- duoed expansion in distributiye trade at ports coming from the central western markets, where the number of buyers Is largely increased. Low rate excur- sions have drawn more buyers into shoes. hats. clothing and millinery have moved more freely and farm imple- ments. lumber and building materials have been in great demand. Iron and the stage, both as regards demand and strength of prices. finished products of the latter responding to tnsistent demand in higher range of values for not gained proportionately to the ad- vancss in the eruder forms.
 Collections are still dragging and there is almost practical unanimity. have not shaken off the lethargy of winter. Money is easy despite active stock speculation and prediction of season. February bank ciearings have never before equaled in that month, and for two months record winter to- tals have been reached.
 Business failures in the United Statse for the week ending March D. number 206 against 220 last week and 195 in the like week 1904. In Canada failures Tor the week number 22 as against 27 last week and 19 in this week a year ago.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-03-04

(Continued from Page 0ne.) first half of 1903. namely. ss.2l. and inc highest margin was in the last half of 1902. namely, $3.02. The mar gin in the last half of 1903 instead of being exceptionally high. was held below the average as was also the mar gin for the first half of 1904. The year 1903 instead of being character ized by unusually high margins had in fact the lowest average margin TOT the whole period for which reliable record Is obtainable." It cannot pc emphasized too strongly that changes in the margin between prices of cattle and prices of beef are of little value as a basis for Judging the movement of profits. This may readily be appreci- ated from the mere fact that on the average only 54 to 57 per cent of the live weight of cattle Is retained in dressed beef.
 In comparing the margin between prices of cattle and prices of beef ex- haustiye study was made of the value of by-producing and since the differ ence between the maximum and mini mum value of such products per head during the past two or three years has much exceeded the total profits of the packers, this has been a most impor- tant feature of the Investigation. Thus the price of hides, the most important by-product of cattle after reaching a maximum in 1902, declined sharply in 1908 and 1904.
 The average price received for all hides sold by the Armour, Swift and SchwarZschild & Sulzberger Companies from ten packing plants fell from Ills cents In the second half of 1902 to s.7 cents In the second half of 1903, this representing a decline in the net value of the hide per head from S6.s3 to S5.79. Prices of oleo oil and stearin likewise reached their highest level in 1890 and fell rapidly in the summer of 1903. These are the principal by-pro- ducts of cattle.
 An Error Shown.
 The error which would arise from considering the margin between the
