Bradstreet's.

Bradstreet's says:
Unreasonable cold or wet weather,
with frosts throughout the north half
of the country, has again been a bar
rier to trade except in a few sections
and the coolest May in thirty-fVe
years closes with large stocks of goods
undisposed of by retailers. There is
still general complaint that recorder
business from jobbers and manufac-
turers, especially in all kinds of wear
ing apparel, has been smaller than ex-
pected and there is more manifest this
week a disposition to await develop
ments before embarking heavily for
the future, though the volume of bust
ness booked compares well with pre-
ceding years.
Strikes are more in evidence wit
ness the continued interruption to
business at San Francisco, the linger-
ing of the longshoremen's strike at
New York and smaller strikes of
southern, car shops and street railway
employees. There is also some pros
pect of unsettlement in the reports of
demands for higher wage schedules by
iron workers ana coal miners in the
central west.
The feature in the wool market this
week is the sale at Boston of $2,500,-
900 pounds of medium f1eeced wool to
the largest single manufa cturer's in

ago, and the competition reported at
the west between dealers and manu-
facturers resulting in prices being

is the mutabue phlox, for instance.
At sunrise 1t is blue, and in the after
noon it is pink. Then there Is hibiscus
hibiscus mutabilis. 1t goes through
three changes in the day, from white
in the morning to rose at noon and to
red at sunset. Likewise the lantana.
The lantana is yellow one day, orange
the next and red the third Its
changes are slow. There are other
flowers, too, that change. There's the
chieranthus chameleo, that shifts from
white to yellow and from yellow to
red. There's the gladlolus versicolor.

The ordinary seaman's respect for

The same ceremony also takes place on
his leaving.
On one occasion president visited
one of the ships informally. dispensing
