Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.

New York.-R. G.. Dun & Co.
Weekly Review of Trade says:
I'm most sections of the country
the movement of merchondise has re-
sumed normal proportions, snow
blockades being removed, but tardy
deliveries still cause much complaint
especially in regard to grain. Retail
stocks of winter goods we're most sat
isfactorily depleted during the period
of low temperature, and the new
season will open under favorable
auspices. Wholesale and jobbing
houses report a liberal spring de-
mand, particularly in dry goods,
while at the interior there is a Wig
orous movement of agricultural i'm
plements and other farm supplies. A
gratifying feature of many reports is
the greater promptness of mercan-
tile collections. Mills and factories
have so much forward business that
new contacts are not taken except at
full figures, and there Is dissatisfac-
tion because shipments are not more
prompt. Wages have been advanced
in several important concerns and
there are no serious labor contro-
versies.
Raw wool is firmly held at East
ern markets, although in limited de-
mand, most manufacturers awaiting
something definite before taking raw
material freely. Footwear factories
in New England have contracts on
hand assuring activity until new
business comes forward, although
there is a notable scarcity of orders
for fall delivery, and the only cur
rent activity is the supplementary
spring purchasing by Eastern job
bers and some inquiry for early sum
mer shipment. Quotations are fully
maintained on all descriptions.

A robbers den, presided over by
beautiful woman, and yielding riches
in jewels and silk like the tabled
cave of THE Forty Thieves" was
unearthed in the Bronx. The police
have taken near $4,000 worth of
diamonds, silks and silverware from
the house. Some of the silver bears
the monogram of the Waldorf-As-
toria and Sherry's, while the gems
found hidden are so fine that they
could have been stolen only from
very wealthy persons; those that
adorned the woman alone were worth
several thousand dollars. The de-
tectives have also captured the lead

fessed, and that when they round up

demanded a rebate of 81 because the
dealer had failed to send the fan,

Frank Antonio, a motorman on
the Crosstown line in Brooklyn, was
overcome by the cold early the other
morning while on his way from Erie
basin to the barn at Box Street and
Manhattan Avenue, Greenpoint.
. When the car reached Jay and Will
loughby Streets, Inspector John
Thompson noticed that the car was
passing streets where the motorman
should have slowed down. The In
spector boarded the car and found
that Antonio was apparently frozen
at his post. One hand was on the
controller handle and the other on
the brake, but the motorman was
powerless to operate either. The In
spector took charge of the car. and
had Antonio taken inside, where he
became unconscious. The car was
raced to the Greenpoint barn, whence
Antonio was removed to the Eastern
District Hospital.

Whistles with Sweet Sounds.

If the present plans of the Board
of Supervising Inspectors of the
Steamboat Inspection Service are
carried into effect all craft plying in
New York harbor will be equipped
with whistles that will discourse
sweet music instead of ear-splitting
sounds that disturb the peace of the
people in the greater city living close
to the North and East Rivers. The
subject was discussed at a meeting
of the Board. Director Stratton of
the Bureau of Standards said that 1t
was possible, by applying exact
scientific principles, to measure the
carrying power of a whistle or a
siren, and also to determine the in
tensity of lights carried by vessels
at night. Mr.. Stratton urged the
Board to require the use in New
York harbor of whistles giving forth
soft, melodious tones, instead of
those that shrek out hideous noises
and make life miserable by day and
sleep almost impossible at night.

become a "reminiscences.

Los Angeles, nine handle only popular
music, seven handle the classic and popu-

asked what they would play If called on
