NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Dun G. Co.'s weekly
review of trade tomorrow will say:
Little change appears in the CONNER
cial situation, but progress is in the right
direction In SO far any difference can
be discerned. Recent gains are maintained
in almost every instance and few further
encouraging symptoms appear, notably the
smaller decreases in railway earnings and
larger forces at work in leading industries
Wholesale and jobbing houses prepare for
the future most conservatively. Mercan-
tile collections are irregular. some districts
reporting fairly prompt settlements, but at
other points payments are slow.
"On the whole the iron and steel indus
try is in a better position than week ago,
although new contracts placed with
much caution and each order is the object
of extensive negotiations Business that
appeared several weeks ago is still pending

Mr. ]. H. Witherspoon. the new

Of setting up high school district In
connection with the Yorkville Graded
school district. The proposition in
wolves the levy of tax Of two mills on
the property Of the school district In
addition to the tax already voted for
the benefit Of the graded school. The
voting of the extra two mills will give
the district considerable help from the
state high school appropriation OF $780,
900, and under such an excellent su-
perintendent as Mr.. WitherspOon is
known to be, provided he can get the
support that the trustees have failed
to give his predecessors, there Is no
reason why the town should not build
up a first class school. The petition
has been very generally signed and
there is no reason to expect any serious
opposition at the election.
