R. G. DUN'S REVIEW
WEATHER CONDITIONS HAVE Ac- CELEBRATED MERCHANDIsE
 DISTRIBUTION.
Holiday Trade Has Eaualled sanguine Expectations, Yet This Large De- mand Hnan't Interfered With
 the staple Articles.

New York, Dec 2l.-4R. G. Dun and Company's weekly trade review of to- morrow will say:
 Weather conditions accelerate distri- button of seasonable merchandise at retail but increased traffic difficulties, freight blockadss and shortage of mo- tive power not only retards business, but threaten serious results at some western points. Holiday trade has equal led expectations. yet this large volume has not inteefered with the brisk dc- nand for staple articles which depict ed stocks to such an extent that whole sale trade experiences unusual activity for thee season. The only noteworthy decrease in comparison with activities year ago. appear in building permits. Most industrial work is maintained at the maximum, mills and factories hav- ing so many contracts for next years delivery that inventories receive little attention.
 Scarcely any change is recorded in prices of iron, the market developed a little of the quiet that is seasonable, although furnaces constantly receive new orders and in some eastern mar kets the week has brought out con- tracts for delivery in the closing months of 1907
 thirds of next years total output al- ready sold. Steadiness in quotations and the avoidance of any inf1ations are now factors that will contribute most large ly to continued activity.
 In primary markets for textile goods the event of greatest interest Is the strength of cotton and the practical impossibility of securing prompt deliv- cries from manufacturers. While the demands have diminished somewhat in comparison with the pressure that has been noticed several weeks, there is still a steady inquiry and selling agents are utterly unable to arrange ship. ments as requested.
 There is no disposition to dispute quotations as long as the goods can be secured. although much business has been transacted and the question Is raised as to how much speculative buying has occurred. There is no ex- port trade aside from regular move ments to South America and the island markets, although inquiries from China are reported along special lines. The opening of the wooden goods season has been sufficiently irregular to make 1t difficult 10 determine the thread of demand. Much business has been done in staple dress goods for delivery next iall at last years prices.
 Footwear producers report exception ally good business for tue season, al- though salesmen have left the road for the holidays.
 Strength continues in nearly all sec- tions of the leather market, especially sole and belting varieties. Large sales of packer hides are announced, leading tanners operating freely.
 Staple farm products have fluctuated within narrow limits, no developments of importance being reported,

Saturday. April Z.

Washington, April T. The house
did not indulge itself in the usual half
holiday today, but continued the con-
sideration of the postoffice appropria-
ton bill, and in the latitude accorded
under general debate the discussion
took on a wide range, including rail-
way mail pay, increased pay for rural
letter carriers, the American smelter
trust and the corrupt use of money
in elections, with side lights on ma
turalization laws.
Dalzell, Republican, of Pennsylva-
mia, called up the bill amending the in
ternal revenue laws to prevent the
double taxation of certain distilled
spirits. He asked that the bill be con-
sidered by the house as in committee Of
the whole, possibly anticipating come
debate. Before he could make any
statement, the speaker had the bill
read a third time, Endorsed and passed,
while general laughter over the eype-
ditious way the speaker disposed y
legislation ran around the chamber.

Eortifx Forestry Policy

Washington, April 9.-When the
Carter bill now on the senate calendar
becomes law, most of the Oregon oppo-
sition to certain features of forest re-
serves will be disarmed. This law will
have the further effect of removing the
most serious objection to the pending
measure which purposes to keep with
the government title to all land Tearing
commercial timber which is yet public
domain. Mr.. Carter's bill provides
that the secretary of agriculture may
permit bona fide homestead entries
within forest reserves.

American Questions Up.

Washington, April 9.-The State
department has suggested to the Rus

Rosen that the period suggested in the
Russian note for the convention of the
second Hague peace conference, namely
the early part of July, would be incon-
venient to America and to some of ths
other countries of this hemisphere,
which we're expected to be represented
at The Hague. The reason for this &C
ton was to avoid a conflict with the
Pan-American congress, which has beer
set for July 81.

Monday. April 9.

Washington, April 9.-McLaurin and
Morgan addressed the senate today on
the railroad rate question, the former
advocating the legislation and the lat
ter opposing. The Mississippi senator
announced his intention to support an
amendment providing for a court re-
view of the decisions of the Interstate
Commerce commission and also stated
his adherence to the Bailey amend
ment, prohibiting the temporary sus-,
pension of the commissions orders by
the inferior courts. He criticized what
be characterized as an effort to inject
politics into the consideration of the
bill. Morgan took the position that
the proposed legislation was an inter-
terence with the rights of the states to
control the corporations created by
themselves, and said that the best way
to check exorbitant railroad rates was
to keep the waterways in such condi-
ton as to insure competition.
Washington, April 8. - Notwith-
standing that this was District day in

ployment Of child labor. Hepburn, Of
Iowa, replying to long speech of Sims
OF Tennessee, in which he commended
for self government for the people o.

tense of the form of government, but
criticized it's administration. He die
not think two newspaper men and ont
