CHICAGO Horse Market.

Trade is feeling the stimulus of
snrine demand and all industrial
classes meet broader outlet at shade
firmer prices The transition of vim
ter to spring has been less PRONOUNCED,
than average seasons owing to the mild
weather which featured the midwnter
months. A prominent characteristic OF
the trade is the stronger tone to the
eastern demand for good commercial
drafters, which class has Jagged in in
ouiry for several weeks. Choice heavy
business offerings find freer outlet at
firmer to So, higher prices than pre-
vailed during March. But few me-
dunn to good offerings sold below Sl70,
with bulk of the receipts going at $115
M195 and extra classes moving at 5000
m215 and upward for fancy arrivals.
Local orders for heavy business horses
are larger and demand more urgent
Northern and eastern inquiry for farm
chunks firmed prices for these offer
ings, bulk of receipts finding ready sale
at s115m13O, with $140m1i50 paid for
Young blocky mares. Drivers, express
ers. wagon horses and general purpose
classes displayed great firmness and
sold in most instances at unevenly
stronger prices. General receipts are
increased over last week, but demand
has more than equaled the supply.

Boone, April 1.-THE typewriting
machine and its fair operator have
department of the general offices OF
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad,
all because e. e. Belts, the car serv-
ice agent of that road has patented a
system whereby the car records of the
road can be kept without the services
of either women or typewriters. Twene
ty-seven of the girls have been dis
charged from the Chicago offices. Mon
day saw the advent of the girlless sys-
tenn which in detail is as follows:
Report blanks arranged SO that each
car number is entered in a space by
itself by the conductor or the agent
whichever the case may be, perfora-
ton for filing is made on the left side
of each space so that when these re-
ports are received in the office they
are placed in order and SO cut WIN
printers paper cutter that each num-
Der appears on a slip by itself. These
slips are then sorted and distributed
to the entry clerks, who enter them III
the respective books.
The old method required the services
of young women to operate a score OF
more typewriters to transcribe the
conductors and agents reports on per-
forated slips of paper, but the young
women made so many errors IN the
transcribing that this method was
losing the company thousands OF dol
lars yearly.

THE TRADE OUTLOOK

Unless Mining Is Soon Resumed the
Number of Manufacturing Plants
Affected Will Become Larger =
sprinq Weather Has Greatly stimu-
lated the Retail Trade.
New York. April 7.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade today
says:
Opening of spring trade is not per-
ceptibly retarded by the partial inter-
ruption to coal mining, except in the
immediate vicinity of anthracite mines.
High temperature not only broadens
the demand for seasonable merchan-
disc but stimulates agricultural oper-
atoms, reopens northern navigation
and starts many contemplated build
ing operations. Were it not for a few
labor controversies the commercial
horizon would be cloudless But some
manufacturing plants will be COM
PEELED to suspend if the fuel supply is
cut off and structural work is inter-
rupted by demands for higher wages in
certain localities.
That the year 1905 started out to
eclipse all records is evidenced by bank
exchanges IS per cent larger than in
the first quarter of the previous pros
porous year, while liabilities of COM
mercial failures averaged only 81 cents
to each $1,000 of solvent payments thru
the clearing houses, which is the low
est commercial death rate for the first
three months of any year. The aver
age loss, if distributed thru all the
firms in business, was only $24.S6 to
each concern, not serious burden to
be borne by the mercantile world. Rail-
way earnings in March were So per
cent larger than last year and foreign
commerce at this port for the last
week showed gains of $1,139,369 in i'm,
ports and $S37,959 in exports as COM
pared with the corresponding week in
1905.
Progress in the iron and steel indus
try has not suffered as yet from the
partial suspension of coal mining, and
new business comes forward each week
in great volume.
Failures this week numbered 1877, as
against 232 last year, and 10 in Canada
as against % last year.

NEW LAWS OF IOWA
Continued from Page Three.)

passes to delegates to political con-
ventions, candidates for office, all pub
lie officers and political committees
men. The second railroad law OF
Importance is known as the long and
short haul bill, giving long lines be-
tween competing points the right to
establish the short line rates. 1t is
possible that Governor Cummns will
veto this measure because it applies to
freight as we'll as passenger traffic.
He recommended it with respect to
passenger traffic, alone. All other
railroad measures went by the board
reciprocal demurrage, 2-cent fare and
the family mileage book at 2 cents.
The insurance commission act was
but one of several important pieces
of insurance legislation. In addition
a bill was passed requiring life com
panies Of this state to submit for ap-
prevail of the executive council securi-
ties proposed to be assumed and To-
Gated outside of Iowa. They are au-
thorized to invest in drainage bonds
and to build home office buildingc.
But the bills to require annual dis
tribution of dividends and to require
life companies to deposit sufficient Sc
curities with the auditor of state OF
Iowa to cover the value of the policies
held nv Iowa people, were lost in COM
mittees.
New School Laws.
The teachers of Iowa hereafter Will
receive certificates from the state ana
can teach in any county. Heretofore
thew have been limited to single
county until the legislature of, this year
remodeled the school laws in the inter-
est of the teachers.
But the most important of school
legislation was defeated, the proposed
establishment of single board OF re-
gents for the three state institutions.
for which the mileage taxes, amounting
to $4,000, were continued for another
five years.
All reformatory legislation was de-
feated-wife desertion, divorce restric-
ton. a state reformatory for men under
%. the indeterminate sentence, the es-
adjustment of state board of par
dons and parole, and all pardons, in
Guiding those asked by Louis Busse,
who will hang next Friday, and Joseph
G. Smith, who will hang the Friday fol-
lowing, the first legal hangings in Iowa
for ten years.
Sunday theaters and base ball were
constant subject of discussion, ALSO
but were not prohibited.
Woman suffrage was defeated in two
forms-an amendment to the constitu-
ton being turned down and bill to
permit them to vote for presidential
electors alone.
The road laws were amended in three
particulars. Farmers who use the King
road drag will be compensated by re-
fund of road taxes, those who use wide
tired wagons will be treated likewise.
and road townships may be divided
into four districts, each with super
visor.
An important uniform accounting bill
for municipalities was passed. 1t
gives the auditor of state power to
make uniform books for all cities and
examine same
Bills to prohibit hazing, prohibit foot
ball. prohibit fire crackers-an went
the way of the bill to put folks to death

as % cents. The strictly choice cattle
however. are not much lower and have
found a favorable outlet all week.
There was nothing especially lofty
among the sales yesterday, though the
fact that some extra prime steers solo
al $3.50 this week shows that buyers
can be found who are willing to pay
we'll for the right kind. Most of the
business Friday was done at $4m4.40.
