been largely overcome by the use of

two houses of congress on the Aldrich-
Vreeland emergency bill by the de-
cisive vote of 43 to %, and thus was
taken the last congressional step nee
essary toward the enactment of emer-

The six Pacific northwest senators
split evenly in support and opposition
over the Aldrich-Vreeland currency
bill. Piles, Ankeny and Fulton favored
and Borah, Hepburn and Bourne op'
posed it.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
Improvement Noted, But Buying Is
Still on Conservative Lines.


NEW YORK. March 14.-Bradstreet's
weekly trade letter says:
There Is quite considerable improve
ment in both the tone of general dis
tributive trade and in the volume of bust
ness actually booked by jobbers. Withal.
however. there is little change to be seen
in the character of the buying. which is
still along very conservative lines. and
while the volume of business doing is
larger now than at any time since last
fall. the shrinkage from a year ago is
distinct and Enthusiastically large. Collec-
lions are still very backward: prices Of
staples tend lower, as for a long time
past; the earning power of employees in
many lines of industry is being curtailed
by short time or wage reductions, and
the threat is made that a refusal to ac-
cept lower wages may result IN wide
spread suspension of activity in the coal
trade. The demand for iron and steel
shows little real expansion, aside from
some lines like wire and similar goods;
old material tends to ease. and many
consuming plants are running on short
time.
The long-standing curtailment of cotton
goods products shows no signs of ending;
in fact a continued heavy cut in produc-
ton is indicated, and notice has been
given IN aOQlllOn OF a ~ per cent reQuC-
ton in wages at some eastern mills.
One of the best situated lines of trade
in the country, SO far as current demand
is concerned, is millinery, which seems
to be in fairly brisk sale by jobbers
Dry goods of various kinds, groceries,
hardware, implements and paints are also
moving fairly well. Export trade in cot
ton goods does not gain much, and the
outgo of farm products is not SO large as
in recently preceding months. Men s
wear orders for fall have been disap-
pointing. and old wool stocks are being
cleaned up at concessions. The jewelry
trade is concerned at the weakness in
diamonds. The Kentucky whisky output
for this spring is only one-third that Of
a year ago.
Duns says:
Sentiment is more cheerful because of
good weather for farm work and higher
prices for securities. Actual progress in
Commercial channels is slow but there is a
little improvement each week, while evil
dences of an early spring have stimulated
sales of seasonabl wearing apparel in
most jobbing and wholesale departments
Retail trade is quiet, as usual at this
time, although the better feeling extends
to those branches of business also be-
cause of the larger pay rolls. Many
manufacturing plants have increased
forces especially the factories that supply
farming implements and the canning In
dustry. Some reductions of wages are
announced to take effect on April /, and
thus far no serious strikes are threat
ened.
