WEEKLY REPORT.

New York, April l1.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade today
says:
Commercial conditions show little
alteration. the gains of the first quar-
ter being maintained. but further pro-
gress is extremely slow. The weather
has favored retail trade in scasonablc
wearing apparel at most points and the
outlook for future business is slightly
better. Manufacturing returns are
conflicting. several mills and factories

operations, and the rate of pig iron
production at the opening OF April was
smaller than on March to the extent
Of 1000 tons weekly. Textile and
footwear factories throughout New
England proceed cautiously because Of
the small orders that are being placed
for future delivery. all dealers confin-

Although a better demand is noted in
many sections of the cotton goods in
quiry the prices offered are usually
unsatisfactory. and the mills need still
cheaper raw material if the business
is to be done at a profit. .Jobbing pur-
Chases for fall trade are usually made
in May and June, and much depends

Shoe shops receive d steady call for
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 5000 to 10000 cases less
than in the same week last year.
New demands in the leading indus
tries come forward slowly at Chicago,
and retail trade is retarded by unset
tied weather.
Real trade is fair at Cincinnati.
wholesale dry goods houses receive lib

still due to conditions in the financial
markets and the much lower volume
of security trading this year outside
of New York City the loss is very much
smaller. For the year TO date. as
shown in the average daily figures, the
loss has been about 30 per cent, chiefly

Licensed to Sell Liquor in Kent.

The April term Of the Kent County
Courts closed last Thursday after one Of
the shortest sessions on record. With
the criminal business concluded on
Wednesday and but two cases to be
tried, the Court found at noon Thurs
day that the work could be completed
in the afternoon.
A license to sell intoxicating liquors
"for medicinal and sacramento pur-
poses" only, was granted to DruggI \
Harry Vane, of Dover. The question
had arisen as to the rights Of even drug
gists to sell intoxicating liquors in Kent
county under prohibition and the grant
ing Of the Vane license established the
precedent, which will be followed in
the future in such applications. The
court held that the Local Option law
does not repeal the druggists law for
the sale of Intoxicating liquors for med
icinal and sacramental purposes only.
The expense accounts of the courts
were the smallest for years, the Court
OF General Sessions expenses amount
ing to but S3l7.2s, exclusive Of witnes.
SEES, while those OF the Superior Court
were but Ss7O6, total ofS4O4.34.
Resolutions adopted by the Kent
County Bar Association on the death
OF Robert H. Van Dyke were presented
by George E. Jones, and Chief Justice
Lore replied appropriately. The res
olutions were ordered spread upon the
records Of the Superior Court and as
mark Of respect to the deceased, the
court adjourned without day.
