TRADE CONDITIONS.
Volume of Business Still Large
Conservatism Over Future.

NEW YORK, November 16-Dispatches
to Dun's Review indicate the amount of
contraction in business that is made nee
essary by inability to raise funds The
current volume of trade is still large how
ever, but there is increasing conservatism
regarding plans for future. Boston reports
that some New England factories have re-
duced forces on account of financial con-
ditons. but in most cases the shutdown is
said to be temporary. Retail trade is ac-
tive, but there is a decrease in wholesale
and jobbing business. Dealers at Phila-
delphia are confining purchases to imme-
date wants and collections are slow be-
cause Of the money pressure Colliaries
are working at full capacity, and clothing
manufacturers have had good season
NO reduction in retail trade has occurred
at P!ttsburg. although stocks are being re-
duced and jobbing trade in dry goods and
shoes is somewhat dull. Coal shipments
continue heavy.
Business at Baltimore is retarded by
financial conditions and caution Is mani
tested regarding contracts for next year
Manufacturing operations are somewhat
reduced, but payments are little more
prompt. Most furnac run full tilt at At
lanta. with practically nominal forces
and financial conditions cause no uneasi-
ness but payments are slow and retail
trade only fair.
Jobbers and manufacturers at New Or
leans report business seasonable and very
satisfactory considering monetary condi-
orders for immediate delivery reach St.
Louis and some manufacturers have a
normal demand for spring. although can
cellations are reported Country buyers
are active in the Kansas City markets,
jobbing lines comparing favorably with
the business of year ago, and the none
tary situation is improving.
Financial conditions have improved at
Chicago Credit has been placed on a
stronger basis, and thare is more encour-
agament regarding the outlook. Weather
conditions favor retail distribution and
stocks of fall and winter goods are not
excessive. Retail trade at Cincinnati is
fair. but conditions are adversely aft ected
by the monetary situation. and coll lections
are slow.
The advancing season stimulates retail
business at Cleveland. but many manufac-
| turers have reduced operating forces and
collections from agricultural districts are
| fair, but from other sections slow. Whole
| sale trade Is we'll maintained at Minneap-
| oils although conservatism is advis ed by

San Francisco. but the banks are handling
the situation we'll Export trade is liberal

BLAMES THE OIL FINE.
President Colvin Says It Caused
Business Depression.

CHICAGO. November 16.-Extravagant
living by those who have made money
easily during prosperous times and the
efforts of others to live on an equal scale
were cited as leading causes for present
financial difficulties by President William
II. Coivin of the Chicago stock exchange
In an address at a fellowship dinner given
last night by the Fort Dearborn Club.
The speaker also referred to the fine
imposed by Judge Lands on the Standard
OIL Company, saying:
This fine, equal to thirty times the
company's capital, and the statemen mt from
the government THAT it can be collected
surely had an important bearing on the
value of all securities. for the clerks OF
any company might be equally negligent
with no dishonest motive. or being dis
honest or malicious. could ruin every
stockholder."
Mr.. Colvin spoke of certain recent state
legislation against railroads effort
Ito secure a portion Of the public APP
plause-to make political capital, as it has
been so successfully done in Washington -
Many attacks on corpora tions he assert
ed, have been mercilessly destructive with
out carrying with them any quality OF
creativeness. He advocated the passage OF
a wise currency law.

NEWS OF ROCKVILLE
RESTRICTIONS OF SUBDIVISION
NOT TO BE REMOVED.
Special Correspondence of The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md, November 1e 1907

ROtkN1LLEI. Md, November 16 1907
A deed has been placed on record In the
oftice of the clerk of the circuit court here
conveying to Michael o. Dumas the inter-
est of ZenO B. Babbitt in Belmont, a SUBJ
division near Friendship Heights, in the
lower section of the county. The an
nouncement several months ago that lots
in this subdivision would be sold ex-
clusiveiy to colored people caused objec-
tons from the residents of the neighbor-
hood. A considerable number of the lots
were bargained for by colored persons
but when 1t came to conveying them one
or the owners refused to sign the deeds.
When the property came under the con-
troll of Dumas 1t was thought that there
would be no further difficulty about the
transfers, but it now seems that there is
large trust on the property, and the
holders of this trust refuse to agree to the
sale Of the lots to colored people and are
not willing to sign the necessary releases
