nunn,a Trade Review.

New York, March 16.-R. G. Dunn and company's weekly review of trade will say:
 Wholesale conditions are maintained in commercial channels the tenor of most reports being favorable, and com paFatively little anxiety is felt re- garding the labor situation. New pro- jects are copstantly appearing. calling for much capital and giving employ ment to many wage earners. Several scales have been signed that provide for ghiher wages after this month and the general prosperity of the winter is believed to assure very large re- tail trade in spring wearing apparel.
 Jobbing houses have been enabled to make shipments with. unusual prompt ness owing to the ample railway fla ciIities and few freight blockades that resulted from an exceptionally mild winter.
 Some backward retail trade in over shoes and kindred lines was made up by more seasonable weather in many. sections of the country during the past week Manufacturing returns from the leading industries continue favorable, the weeks feature being re- cord breaking sales of leather, while the steel mills ana iron furnaces ope- rate at full capacity. The demand for lumber exceeds the supply and glass factories are preparing to advance quo tations. t-.
 Exports of farm staples in February exceeded last years by $23,50o,000 or about fofty-five per cent and the move ment of foreign commerce at this port for the last week shows gains of $3,25S,438 in exports and $1,152,157 in imports as compared with the same date in 1905. Railway earnings for the first week of March were eight per cent larger than last year.
 Although there is no evidence of de- creased activity at the textile mills and factories, the primary markets for cotton goods begin to exhibit signs of weakness Nominal quotations no lon- ger prevail for packer hides. larger transactions having been effected at pronounced concessions. New England foot wear manufacturers report only a moderate volume of new business.
 Failures this week numbered 22O in the United States against 250 last year and s4 in Canada compared with 26 a year ago.

Pensacola. Fla. March 1s.-(Special) Assistant Secretary of the Navy Newberry. who is on a tour of inspec- tion of the navy yards and stations along the gulf coast, is expected to reach here tomorrow night from New Orleans.

 One of the matters which the Assis- tant Secretary will investigate while here is the location for a graving dock at the yard. Soundings have been made at several points already.

REVIEW OF TRADE
WINTER STORM DELAYS OPENING
 OF SPRING BUSINESS.
Wholesale Distribution shows no Sign of Interruption, and in Its En- firely the Outlook is Most
 Favorable.

New York. March 1s.--Bradstreets tomorrow will say;
 The widespread winter storm has de- layed the opening of spring trade caus- ing some complaint of bad roads and interruption to personal buying at leading jobbing centers. On the other hand the benefits of accompanying heavy snows or rains to the crops prob ably far outweigh the damage to this cause. or injury caused to small fruit and truck interests by the freezing weather.
 Wholesale trade and industry show no signs of hesitation and even the building trades have paid little heed to the temporary weather set back in view of the immense business for spring and summer offering The coal strike situation is still flaw in the situation but signs of the conflict being localized are seen and suspension of all work is threatened.
 Jo5bing trade at leading centers is large and reorders for spring delivery are already reported at Western cen ters Collections are chased as fair to good and expert trade is of a large midwinter volume and with signs of good spring buying of cereals. Addi- tional favorable features are reports of improvement in the flour trade, of heavy sales of leather for home and foreign consumption and of higher prices for wool. The iron and steel mills are busily employed.
 Prices generally show strength; ce reals are certainly firmer but cotton is lower than a week ago and the va garies of the raw material affect some lines of goods, this however for far future delivery. Although there is everything to indicate that fthe spring trade, present and prospeetive will break all past years records.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending March 18th, were 1S7 against TIT last week and 1s6 in 1905. In Canada failures for the week number 3s as against 34 last week and 22 a year ago.

CONSTABLES SHOOT MINERS
EIGHT STRIKERS WOUNDED BY
SPECIAL POLICE.
Volley from Carbine Answers Shot
from Revolver of Marcher and
Three Men May Die.

Indiana, Pa, June 9.-The new min
Rochester & Pittsburg railroad, five
miles from here, was the scene early
Friday of a conflict between a detail
of state constabulary and striking coal
miners in which eight strikers were
wounded, three of them fatally.
Shortly after daylight a body of
strikers headed by brass band
marched from, Anita mines, in Jeffer-
son county, to receive one of the mine
officials expected from Punxsutawney.
On The way to the station the march
ers encountered a detail of IL men,
bers or the state constabulary. AS they
passed member OF the band fired his
revolver at the troops.
No one was struck, but the constabu-
larry Immediately retaliated with vol
ley from their carbines.. When the
smoke cleared eight strikers were ly-
ing on the ground and the others had
fed Erecipitately down the hill.
After the excitement had subsidized
the wounded miners were removed to
Adrian hospital. AS the result OF the
shooting a mass meeting arranged for
the afternoon was Cancelled, and Sher-
if Wettling has ordered the arrest Of
the leaders of the parade. All is now
quiet, and no more trouble at this
time IS apprehended.
The mines at Ernest are owned by
the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg
Coal and Iron company. On April l
strike was inaugurated, and the
men have been out ever since. Three
weeks ago the plant was started nom
union, and detail OF the state con-
stabuIary has since been guarding the
coal company's property. At present
about one-half of the regular force Of
400 men are at work In the mine.
