COMMERCIAL COLUMN
Weekly Review of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.

New York;. G. Dun G. Co. S
weekly review of trade says:
Colder weather has removed one
Of the drawbacks to seasonable dis
tribution of merchandise, but there
is still much complaint of traffic con-
ditions. Congestion on the railways
was increased by the destruction OF
vessels during the recent Gulf storm
and a much heavier tonnage OF
freight is delayed than usual, al
though there is always a car famine
at this season. Retail trade shows
improvement in nearly all sections,
and mercantile collections are more
prompt. Eastern wool sales have at
tanned record proportions, but the
late fall has delayed the demand for
woolens. Primary receipts of wheat
are not in keeping with maximum
crop on account of freight delays.
Recent vigorous activity in the pri-
mary markets for cotton goods has
been followed by customary quiet
conditions which are necessary for
assimilation and adjustment.
New England shoe shops receive
liberal orders for spring goods from
Eastern wholesalers, but it is still
too early to expect results from sales
men at the West and South. Job
bers are seeking many specialt1es,
notably patent leather, calf and kid
stock.
After much irregularity, the wheat
market shows a substantial advance
for the week. Flour output increas-
ed somewhat, but it is still far be-
hind the production a year ago. and
mills find profits curtailed by the
firmness of raw material. Coarse
grains are less active and fiuctuated
within narrow margins.

Curious Freak OF Nature.

a curious freak of nature is re-
ported in Jacksonwald, Pa. From
the side of an old apple tree grows
big red apple. The fruit springs
directly from the bark without
branch or twig. Last spring the
tenant noticed small bud, which
he did not disturb. Presently a small
apple formed, and today it is perfect
in shape and very large. Farmers
declare that they never saw an ap-
pie grow out of the bark before,
and many have driven miles to see
it.

Those at Fort sill Ugly Because
They Can't Join a Wild
West Show.
WAR DEPT REFUSES CONSENT
Last Year Some Went and While
Away Contracted Many
Evil Habits.
Now some Arc Saying IL Not t.ivsa
Permits They VIII Break Away
From the Reservation.

Washington, April 6.-The nature ot
the Apache captiyes at Fort sill, In
cdent TO whlch'is the threat of the In
dams TO forcibly break away from tho
post, is explained AT the war depart
ment as the result OF the refusal Of tho
authorities to let the Indians 20 on tho
road with wild west show. These
Indians. under their old Chief Girono-
mo, have been technical captiyes at
the army post for many years past
But In fact, they hale had almost as
much liberty OF action as the Indians
on the reservations, They were not
confined in close quarters. but were
only required 10 stay within the Mill
tary reservation Many Of the lnd-
ans were permitted to go out on passes
To visit other tribes and for other pur-
poses. They have been getting along
very well; SO well, indeed, that when
the army officers, a year ago, proposed
that the Indians be turned over to the
interior department and placed on re-
seryation, as other Indians are, vgor-
Gus protests were made by some OF the
eastern humanitarian societies who had
taken pride IN the Improvement OF the
Apache captives.
But last year many or the Indians
We're permitted to join a wild west
show which Travelled over the country.
When they came back to the post 1t was
found that many of them had learned
to gamble and had picked up other
bad habits. So when application WAS

vide another contingent OF Indians for
a show, the war department. to which
the request was referred upon The aH-
wise of the officers at the post, de-
cllned 10 issue permit. There WAS
one exception and that was IN the case

that he might go with the show. That
made trouble, for the other Indians
