TRADE IMPROVING.
Bradstreets Report Says Easter Has
 Stimulated Retail Trade.

Bradstreets Report Says Easter Has
 Stimulated Retail Trade.
 New York. April 10.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: Though irregular, the weeks developments have been in the direction of improvement. The approach of Easter has stimulated re- tail trade in some lines and sections with a sympathetic effect on some jobbing business and a slight gain in collections. The southwest and north west send the best reports. while southern advices are little more sat- of cotton have brought in some buy ing of specialties. but mems wear woolens and winter wear hosiery show little gain. The strength in sole leather continues and hides are slight ly higher.
 Fashion has made the tan shoe sit uation a good ore but eastern shoe shipments are 27 per cent below 1907, and the loss from last year is about 23,0O0 cases per week since January 1. There is little new in the iron and steel industry. Seasonable goods such as wire nails, and tin plates are in demand. but the heavier mak es are no more active and while reports of actual or impending cuts in steel prices are denied. pig iron is easier north and south.
 Business failures for the week end ing April number 25s against PAT last week and 194 in the same week 6f 1907. Canadian failures for the week ending April g number 2s as against 2s in this week year ago.

 Commercial conditions show little alteration, the gains of the first quar- ter being maintained but furtner progress is extremely slow. The weather has favored retail traoe III seasonable wearing apparel at most points and the outlook for future busi- ness is brighter because of the almost unanimous reports of satisfactory crop prospect Manufacturing returns are conflicting, several mills and factories resuming, while some others curtailed operations and the rate of pig iron production. at the opening of April was smaller than on, March l. to the extent Of 1000 tons weekly. Textile and root wear factories throughout New Eng land proceeded cautiously because Of the small orders for future delivery all dealers confining purchases to im- mediate requirements.
 Prices of finished steel products are being maintained but new business comes forward very slowly except in the lighter forms.
 Although a better demand is noted in many sections of the cotton goods industry, the prices offered are usual still cheaper raw material If the bust- ness is to be done at a profit.
 No evidences of increased export trade are seen.
 tan goods, but business in staple foot wear is light and many producers are taking stock Wholesalers report a fair trade. but restrict orders from New England factories to immediate wants and shipments from Boston are averaging 25,0O0 to 30.0O0 cases less than in the same week last year.

HIM CROW" LAW UP
COMMERCE COMMISSION WILL HAVE
 A HEARING.
Complaints Filed by Five Negro Bish- ops Will Be Investigated--Win Withdraw Conveniences From
 White Persons.

Washington. April 1o.-The Inter state Commerce Commission expects soon to hold a hearing in a case of letter sent by President Roosevelt to the Department of Justice in regaSd to enforcing the laws requiring equal accommodations for negro and white passengers.
 The case is that of five bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church against four large railroads of the South and the Pullman Company.
 Inferior accommodations for passen- gers of the African race, the refusal of sleeping car and dining facilities and other alleged determinations con- stitute the grounds for the complaint
 The letter to the Department of Jus tlce made public by the President We'd nesday resulted from the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the case of Georgia Edwards against the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway Company in favor of the complainant. The President wrote his letter to the Department of Justice after receiving a letter from a member of the Interstate Commerce Commits sion to the effect that the order of the Commission requiring the railroad com Poiiy lo pioNlIe equal accommodations to all passengers had not been com piled with by that road.
 It is held that the law permits sepa- rate accommodations for whites and negroes but requires the same facil- ities for both.
 The complaint. while aimed at all of the railroads operating in the South, Is made directly against the Seaboard Air Line Railway, the Richmon, Fred ericksburg and Potomac Railroad Com pany, the Southern Railway. the Gen. tral of Georgia Railway Company and the Pullman Company. alf of which practically have denied the charges contained in the complaint made by Bishops Wesley M. Gaines and H. M . Turner of Atlanta, Evans Tyree of Nashville, c. s. Smith of Detroit and E. NJ. Hampton of Washington. D. c. A petition from the general confer ence of the African Methodist Enis-
