R. G. DUN'S REVIEW
ERRATiC WEATHER MAKES THE
 REPORT IRREGULAR.
The Retail Sales of Spring Ue.r,rr Apparel ia Retarded by Etorms and Cold at Many
 POinfs

New York, April 12.-R. c. Dun and Companys weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 Erratic weather makes trade reports ing aparel being retarded by storms and cold at many points
 temporary interruptions to retail distribution has no i'll effects upon job- ping and wholesale business, however. heavy transactions and shipments tes, tifying toF confidence in the future while mercantile collections show fur tner S improyement. Several strikes mills at Portland, Ore, and in ship building at Cleveland, but manufactur- ing returns are satisfactory on the whole. Textile mills. machine shops
 steel plants and footwear factories have little idle machinery, forward
 business appearing more rapidly than the rate of production in many cases
 Most encouraging news comes from the l iron and steel industry. Large sales | of pig iron are being made for deliv- cry up to the end of the year. Prompt shipment were at regular quotations but some of the remote dates were sold at dollar less or s21 valley furnaces. It is believed that the weeks bus mess in Bessemer alone aggregated 25O,O00 tons and covered all the sur plus of the Bessemer Pig Iron Associa- tion for this year. Traffic conditions are better, but the steel mills are still unable to make satisfactory deliveries and new business comes forward in greater tonage than production, espe- cially for sheets and pipes.
 Structural steel Is now notable fea- ture. large negotiations being under way especially for Western mining in- terests. Improvement is noted in the primary market for dry goods, pro- ducers regarding current purchases as of substantial character because prices ae no won too high a level to encour- age speculative demands. Although jobbers are less active than at times earlier in the season, more interest Is shown by converters and there is less talk of reselling at second hand below
 regular quotations. No improvement has appeared in the export division, nor is any expected at present prices
 Activity in prints has provided se- | rious problem for the printer as cloths cannot be secured and shipments from
 bleacheries are falling further behind Footwear producers report still rather | quiet, but an increase Is found in com parison with recent weeks Last weeks | large sales of leather were supple mented by a further good movement giving the market a better tone.

Bradstreet's Review.

New oYrk, April 12.--Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Trading and manufacturing condi- tions are in high degree favorable, despite the Hull in demand usual at this stage of the spring season, some odd cross currents are visible because of the scarcity of stocks In so many lines necessitating buying In other markets to eke out supplies sold ahead some time ego.
 In retail trade cold weather and bad country roads are bar to fullest ac- tiVity. but the volume of business do- ing as a whole exceeds the corre- spending period in other years.
 A favorable feature deserving atten- tion is the renewal of buying of Bes- semer pig iron on a very large scale for the second half delivery at prices representing compromise between features are the facts that many lines of business in the southwest show in creases in outputs In sales over year ago of at 15 per cent. The situation of money Is toward further ease; shipments of currency to the in- teror are heavy, but collections are still backward, though they are said to have notably improved in the north west and the eastern dry goods trades The labor situation, despite local dis turbances, is very good and wages in many lines have been advanced. Rail- way congestion is less acute and de- liVeries of grain, coal and other conn modities are increa sing. Further case is expected. when water navigation opens and a heavy lake tradc is in prospect
 While the situation as regards cop per prices is perplexing, the rndertone Is probably easier, as consumeds ap- pear to be pretty well covered, Wool Is quiett east and west, anufactur- CTS are only taking small lote at Eas- tern markets and Eastern buyers in the West are few in number. Foreign markets are very strong. thing like a lull in demand for cotton goods Is being taken advantage of by man ufacturers, wholesale and iobbers to catch up with backward deliveries. Cotton yarns are active, though irreg- uIar in price. Narrow print cloths are higher. Export cottons are quiet Silk goods are very active and raw silk is strong. In dress goods busi- ness is satisfactory. though some con cessiou are claimed to be obtainable for late delivery. illinery IS active and knit goods manufacturers have all the business they can handle for late fall and winter ems wear wool ems sell well and finishers and con- verters report deliveries backward.
 There has been more doing in somo lines of leather. Some large manu- facturrs have come in and bought $500 sides of hemlock leather at close to full market prices. thus cov-

My two children had the eczema, the first one had it for five months all over the body and we had two doctors treat her. I saw the Cuticura Remedies advertised and bought the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and Cuti- cura Pills, and after using them it wasn't but a short while before she was cured. My other child was also afflicted and the Cuticura Remedies cured her also. We think the Cuticura Remedies the best on the market, and we always keep the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment on hand. R. R. Crowson, Love- lady, Texas, May 30, l9o6."

They Wnited Well.

A large audience once gathered in Baltimore to hear Professor Sylvester read a unique original poem of 400 lines, all rhyming with the name Rosa lind, He had appended to the poem a large number of explanatory footnotes, which he said he would read first, When at last he had done so he look ed up at the clock and was mortified to find that he had kept the audience an hour and a half before beginning to read the poem they had come to hear, The astOnishment on his face was an swered by a burst of good humored
 laughter from the audience, and then, after begging all his hearers to feel at perfect liberty to leave if they had en, agreements, he read the Rosalind poem.

INSECT RAvAGEs.

It is estimated that the annual loss of crops by insects alone is over S3OO,- OOOOUO II this be true, one cannot do better than encourage those birds and animals which destroy the worms and insects. Some of the birds which sub sist almost wholly upon insect life are the swallows, martins, vireos, wood peckers, chickadees, wrens, cuckoOs, swifts and fycatchers. The roDfnaand the bluebird will ask for small share of grain and fruit in return for their services; but. then. it must be remem- berel that they come early and stay late and are very faithful. It is an interesting fact that the stomach of the very young bird is so delicate that it can only digest animal food, and this creates a demand for the insect life. Another valuable assistant is the harmless and inoTensiye toad. The children should be taught not only to recognize this little animal and the birds as having right to live, but also to regard them as valuable aids upon the farm.

A NEW POLICY As ITO PUBLIC LANDS

The recent uncovering of numerous frauds in connection with the dishonest entry of public lands, especially those rich in timber reserves, coal, oil and mineral deposits has brought govern ment officials which have these mat ters in charge to the point of asking for legislation which will prevent the further passage of, any such lands into the hands of private companies or cor poratiOns. As it is practically all the coal and oil lands owned by the govern ment iE the eastern states have passed into the hands of private parties, estab. fishing them in some of the worst monopolies which we have today. The policy of the government mentioned above, which bids fair to be put into operation in the near future, takes the view that inasmuch as the public lands belong to the whole people they should not be administered in such a way as to enrich a favored few, as has been the result of the slipshod pol fey which has prevailed in past years. The change will be looked upon with favor by all citizens who are interested fin justice and an all around square deal
