nun,s Report.

New York, jan 20.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade today
says:
Trade reports are more irregular,
chiefly because Of the vagaries of the
weather. AT some points results are all
that could De desired, the new year
starting with much heavier transact
lions than in 1905, but high tempera-
tiles retard retail distribution of win
ter goods. Nothing disturbs the Wig
orous preparations for spring business.
which promises to make most graf
flying exhibit. Open weather is ia
cilitating outdoor work, building opera
tions progressing at an unprecedented
pace for the season, and the Construc-
ton News reports permits issued in
1905 to a value Of $528,16S,412, which
is 40 per cent in excess Of the preceding
year. Official returns Of foreign COM
merce also tell of new record estab-
lished last year, the total exports for
December alone rising $25,000,000 be-
yond any other month in the nations
history. For the last week at this port
exports showed an increase of $4,102,-
6S3 and imports gained $1,299,05S as
compared with the same week last year.
More advances in wages are announc-
ed, and an agreement as to coal min
ing is more probable. Manufacturing
plants make favorable reports, espec-
tally those of the leading industry, and
another new high record has been es-
tablished in the security market. Rail-
way earnings thus far reported for
January were 40 per cent larger than
q wear ago.

spanish Almond For californi..

The viticultural experimental station
of the government ut Lodi, CAL, is try
ing the Spanish Jordan almond with a
small measure of success, and it is
hoped that within the next few years a
system Of cultivation and propagation
will be reached which will insure good
returns from this great nut tree, says a
Lodi correspondent of the Sacramento
Bee The Spanish variety sells for a
dollar pound blanched, while the ma

WEATHER HURT TRADE
The Mild Temperatures Have
Been a Source of Complaint
by Retail Business
PROSPECTS
GOOD
The Building Trades Very Active and
Indications Point to Unusual
Amount Of Work Being Done the
Coming Season - Bank clearinss
Very Large.

New York, Jan. 20.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Mild weather continues source of
complaint by affecting retail trade, col
from wholesalers, but compensations
are found in continued activity In OUT
door industry, practically unchecked
building operations, better than ordi-
nary midwinter transportation condi-
tons and uninterrupted progress in all
manufacturing lines, particularly iron
and steel. Spring trade prospects con-
tinue as favorable as heretofore. The
feeling favors an earlier than ordinary
dry goods, millinery, shoes, and kindred
lines. Building materials were appar-
emily never so active before at this
stage of the season. Large purchases
of pig iron slightly below the market
by leading interests insure consumption
of all supplies for the first quarter and
most of the second quarter, while the
demand for rails structural material,
plates and other finished products, as
sures work for the mills for six
months to come. Increasing production
and re-sales of earlier purchases of
copper make for weakness in that met
AL with declines noted also in lead.
and the mild weather tends to decline
the price in eggs, potatoes, and some
other lines of country produce. Bank
clearings again break all records for
the week Money is easier at nearly
all markets. Summed up, there is I'M
diminished confidence in an immense
if not, indeed, record business for six
months, at least.

GREEN IS TRIED FOR GRATING

New York, March 5.-The decision
on the question whether II. II. Rogers
shall be compelled to answer the
questions asked him in the Missouri
oil hearing, and which he had re-
fused to answer, has been postponed
until March 26th. Justice Glider
sleeve, who heard the argument, di-
rected adjournment. in order to await
final decision in the Missouri courts,
relative to a similar case.
During the argument for an ad-
journment, w. " Rowe, counsel for
Rogers, said: Il wish to tell the
court, as the mouthpiece of Rogers,
that | have the final decision of the
Missouri court, which is against Rog-
ers, and will answer questions as to
stock transfers without order from
the court"
Henry Wollman, who represented
the state of Missouri for Attorney
General Hadley, objected to the ad-
journment, saying that 1t was an eff
fort of the Standard Oil people to
delay the case. "If Rowe will say, as
matter of record for this court" said
Wollman, that Rogers will answer
on the 23rd of March, | am satisfied,
but We don't want to agree to having
this hearing adjourned so as to give
them time to appeal to the United
States supreme court"
March 23rd is the date for resump-
tion of the Standard Oil hearing be-
fore Commissioner Sanborn. Rowe
repeated his previous statement on
the behalf of Rogers, and the hearing
was adjourned before Judge Glider
sleeve until March 26th.

MecURoY's NEED OF REST

New York, March 5.-Tt appears
from the Herald that Richard A. Nc
Curdy, former president of the Mu-

sailing for Paris, last Wednesday, en-
tered into a written understanding
with District Attorney Jerome to re-
turn to this country at any time his
presence may be desired, and to re-
turn by September 1st, in any event.
This is taken to confirm the report
that the district attorney is prepar-

says that Jerome was shown a GER
tificate from McCurdy's physician
representing the former president in
a physical condition demanding alb
