COMMERCIAL COLUMN.
Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.

New York;. G. Dun's weekly
review of trade says:
Unseasonably high temperature in
some sections of the country retard-
ed distribution of Fall goods, but
with the assistance of special sales
reduced stocks of Summer merchan-
disc to a most satisfactory position.
High rates for money have delayed
mercantile collections, somewhat, and
there is still complaint regarding the
scarcity of labor, but confidence in
the future remains mistaken. Pre-
parations for Winter and Spring
keeps machinery well employed,
large crops are being secured and
building operations are very heavy.
The volume of domestic trade is
beyond all records, and foreign COM
merce exhibited some striking com
parsons. Total merchandise exports
in August were valued at about $12,-
100000 more than the same month
in any previous year, and imports
rose $10,000,000 above the preced-
ing record for August.
Textile conditions have not mater
tally altered, the mills operating
large percentage of machinery with
out having much new forward bust
ness.
Bradstreet's says:
Wheat, including -four exports
from the United States and Canada
for the week aggregated 4,677,522
bushels, against 4,953,216 last week,
2,178,42S this week last year, 1884,
373 in 1904 and 4,47O,352 in 1901.
Corn exports for the week are

Officials of the Retail Grocers' Protec-
tive Association Heard

The Dixon bill to compel government
clerks to pay their just debts was the sub
ject of hearing before the House commit
tee on reform in the civil service today.
P. B. Otterback of 401 East Capitol street,
president of the Retail Grocers' Protective

c. ]. McGill of 101 Columbian building. sec
retary, were heard by the committee.
These gentlemen said there are between
$4,000 and $1,000 unpaid accounts on the
books of the grocers of Washington two
thirds of which are against government
employees One of the speakers cited an In
stance of a mother, daughter and son, all
in government employ, who owe five diff
ferent grocerS. total of SPLIT. They
urged the passage of the bill SO that the
business men of the city might not be de-
frauded.
Representative Dixon of Montana, the
author of the bill, addressed the committee
briefly. He said he had introduced the
measure partly because the association de-
sired it and partly because of his knowl-
edge that the measure had worked very
well in his state. He admitted that the bill
was in rather crude shape. but insisted that
its general provisions were wise.
1t is understood that the committee will
not report the Dixon bill. but that a meas
ure along similar lines, but perfected in de-
tall will be drafted and taken up for re-
port.

TOBACCO IN PHILIPPINES.
Secretary Taft Again Heard by the
Senate Committee.

The tobacco industry in the Philippines
was discussed by Secretary Taft today be-
fore the Senate committee on the Philip
pines. He said the entire amount of tobacco
exported by the islands annually was less
than the tobacco production of Lancast ter,
Pa. Secretary Taft said the United States
had nothing to fear from competition with
the islands as result of lower duties on
Philippine tobacco.
In Connecticut. Mr.. Taft said, LOO pounds
of tobacco were raised on an acre; Penn
sylvania raised 1, 400 pounds and the Philip
pines only 3e5 pounds. Few of the cigars
made in TIE Philippines were Of high
enough grade to sell in the United States
and the good cigars made In Manila were
manufactured by such well-paid labor that
the cost of their production was almost
equal to the cost of an equal grade in the
United States.
Secretary Taft completed his statement,
but as members of the committee desire to
ask some questions he will attend meeting
of the committee tomorrow.

TROUBLE ON THE MARBLEHEAD.
Seamen Sulked Because of Obnoxious
Hair Cut and Other Things.

SAN DIEGO. Cal. February S.-Accordfng
to certain sailors of the United States cruis-
er Marblehead. which arrived yesterday,
trouble which had been brewing for some
time aboard the cruiser became acute when
the vessel arrived at Pichilinque bay sew
raj days ago, and the men openly shirked
work and Commander Mulligan was forced
to read them the articles of war covering
mutiny.
According TO stories told by the bluejaokets
they have had almost no shore leave since
the cruiser arrived at San Francisco from
Port Angeles two months ago. When the
Marblehead came to San Diego three weeks
ago shore leave was expected, but again re-
fused The men complained because the
commander ordered what they termed q
"penitentiary hair cut and because they
did not have enough fresh vegetables and
because their wages were not forthcoming
on payday.
AT Pichilinaue bay, the sailors say. while
nobody refused to coal the ship, most of
them worked so leisurely that the job took
five days instead of one. and much of the
coal with which the Marblehead was 10 be
charged was dumped into the sea instead OF
into the bunkers. Offensive notices. it is
said were written on the coal cars. Pun
ishment of various sorts was meted out
with liberal hand. and when the vessel ar
rived at San Diego she brought a thorough
ly exasperated crew. The greater number
of the men have only three or four months
to serve and they declare they will not re-
ship.
Th story of the trouble on the Marblehead
is obtained wholly from members of the
crew, but the versions of the affair given
by them tally closely with each other. Com
mander Muligan declined fatty to say
word about the affair, and the other officers
are equally reticent.
