WANT WIRELESS STATIONS
I stptitai7p|N THE COAL FIELDS,

" (From Our Regular Correspondent)
4. NYASH1NGTON, D. c., April 4.-Because
Of the possibility Of disorder in the coal
regions, perhaps accompanied by at
.tcnpts to destroy breakers and other
buildings, applications have been made
by number OF coal operators and sew
eral railroads to the American De Forest
Wireless Telegraph Company for wireless
apparatus to equip stations In the coal
fields.
4 Ordinary telegraph and telephone wires

DUN'S WEEKLY SUMMARY
Reports Of Industry and Transporta-
tion Are Also Exceptionally Good
for Present Season.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says:
Exceptionally encouraging reports
for this time of the year are received
regarding trade, industry and trans
portation, but there is no response in
the market for securities. The best
news of the past week comes from
agricultural sections, where progress
lis fully maintained, harvesting of win
ter wheat promising a larger yield
than expected, and of good quality,
while corn and oats exceed anticipa-
tions cotton picking has begun in the
early districts and hay alone of the
leading crops threatens to be short.
las results on the farms become
assured there is a growth of conf
dence that brings out large orders for
fall and winter delivery of all staples.
Saw mills at the Northwest are run
ming night crews, new coke ovens are
in course of construction and there
is a general disposition to extend ia
cilities in order to keep pace with eX-
panding needs.
More textile mills have voluntarily
advanced wages per cent to take ef-
feet after this month and the only i'm
portant labor trouble that threatens is
a local building complication that will
be averted If conservative counsel
prevails.
Official returns show that foreign
commerce in the fiscal year ending
June 80, 906, far eclipsed all records
both as to exports and imports while
the new year promises still better re-
suits because of the surplus on the
farms available for consumers abroad.
For the last week at this port
alone exports were $1,352,245 larger
than in 1905, and imports gained
$914,253. Railway earnings thus far
reported for July show an average in
crease of 10 per cent over last
years.
Restoration of foundry pig to $14
is probably the best development of
the week in the iron and steel in
dustry.
Improvement is noted in the pri-
mary markets for cotton goods after
prolonged period of Indifference on
the part of buyers.
Efforts to secure still further ad-
vances in the hide market encounter
some opposition, but the general lev
ell continues about the highest on
record.
Failures for the week numbered
1872 in the United States, against 1913
last year, and % in Canada, compar-
ed with % a year ago.
