NOW IN FULL BLOOM,
Sardou Cherry Orchard Is a Thing of
Beauty.

AS an Easter offering and a thing
of unexcelled beauty the cherry or
chard of Freeman Sardou in Oak
land Is pre-eminently entitled to a
first place. This orchard which ad-
joins Oakland on the west is now in
trees lend their fragrance to the adj
jacent territory and is a sight to be
witnessed but rarely.
h orchard is the property Of
Freeman Sardou, who has issued a
general invitation to the residents of
the beautiful sight which will last
but a few days. While this ten acre
tract is not primarily a flower gar
den it resembles such more than any,
thing else at this time, though it will
remain in this condition for only a
few days and then the grounds for a
week will resemble a field covered
with snow as the white petals fall to
mother earth.
In another week the trees will have
cast off their Easter finery and will
settle dow to- the prosic life OF an
orchard growing fruit for the hun
cry of Topeka. The frost of two
weeks g nipped some Of the early
buds, but an inexperienced eye can
hardly detect a stem which has been
robbed of its share of bloom.
The sight is an unusual one and
We'll worth a Trip TO oakland especial
ly as the orchard can be reached by
taking a street car which passes
With ma stones throw of the flower
garden. To reach the orchard take
a street car at Sixth and Kansas ave
nue. and get off at the corner of Lo-
gan and Division street and you are
there. Mr.. Sardou or some repre-
sentative will be on hand to meet
you and welcome you to the thing
beautiful of the season.
1.-THE fruit will commence to ripen
the first week in June" said Mr..
Sardou, and 1 expect to market at
least three thousand crates of cher
ries from the orchard and every
crate will be disposed of in Topeka.
| There is a chance of course that this
estimate is too high, for a high wind
or frost might play havoc with the
entire crop. Cherries are very ten
der for the first ten days after the
fruit commences to form and we are
now in a danger period for the late
killing frosts almost always come
during the full moon period"

At the Play Last Night.

w. S. Hart, who is now playing the
title role in THE V~irginian,' which
was made rather famous by Dustin
Farnum, showed at the Grand asst
night where the piece was produced
before a good sized audience, that
he is not much of an actor. Per-
haps it would be better to say that
he is too much of an actor. He over
does every bit of character drawing
tina falls to his lot and thereby spoils
it. He has all sorts of terribly promi-
nent mannerisms that are anything
but pleasing. And his smile of BASH
~fulness, or rather grin, is actually
hideous. Mr.. Hart does much much
better in Shakesperian productions in
several Of which he has been seen in
Topeka.
Outside of the work of Mr.. Hart.
which seemed to please a few of the
audience who were in the gallery, the
production of The Vfrginian" was an
adequate one. Miss Anne Meredith
was a good Molly Wood and Frank
Campeau, who created the part OF
Trampus was fine. He is far and
away the best actor in the company
The play was attractively staged and
particularly handsome was the setting
for the third act showing Horse
Thief Pass"

Easier conditions prevail in the iron
and steel markets and production is
smaller than it was a few weeks ago.
Business in pig iron is very light. and
lower prices lave been made to attract
even the small business going. Finish
ed iron and steel are likewise quiet and
rail orders are only fair. Plates are
exceptionally dull and fabricatdrs of
structural material, particularly in the
Chicago district, have named some low
quotations on business recently book
ed although there is no evidence that
the shapes ave brought lower than
list prices. Demand for structural ma
terial is fair, track elevation mi rail-
road bridge building causing the bulk
of the business. Bar iron is weak and
this adversely affects steel bars. In
fact, the widespread expectation of

ducers insist that prices will De main

Business Situation Is Not Up tC
the Best Standard
Owing to Readjustment OF
Wages and Prices.
BRIGHT SPOT NOTED
In the Increased Demands for
Hands on the Farms.
Bank Clearings a Little Ahead
of the Previous Week.

New York, April 1S.-R- G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Eastern trade and generally favor
able weather accelerated retail distri-
button of merchandise, but there is no
evidence of increased activity In pre-
paration for future business, nor are
manufacturers disposed to operate more
extensively. In fact, some net curtail-
ment of outpu is noted, and more re-
auctions in wages have occurred, par
ticularly at textile plants. There Is
an Increased demand for farm hands
and some disputed wage scales have
been signed, but little change can be
discerned in the total number or UNI
employed. Postponed structural work
In started very slowly.
Only a moderate tonnage OF pig iron
has been taken during the past week
n merchants furnaces have made con-
SESSIONS in order to get business, but
the meeting of iron products has tend
ed to steady the market. Some sales
for export are recorded, althugh much
less foreign business has been con-
summated than vas at first stated.
Furnaces in the Pittsburg region pro-
duce a little more freely but new or
ders are not as frequent as during
the first three months of the year. In
finished steel the lighter lines, such as
tin plate and wire products, still COM
mand most attention and there Is con-
siderable business pending in pipe for
oil interests on the Pacific coast. The
markets for textile goods are better
because more bills are being discounted
but jobbers are doing a limited bust
ness and reports from roadmen are no
gratifying. The chief drawback In the
cotton goods situation is the question
OF quotations, concessions being grant
ed SO readily that purchasers are nat
urally confined to immediate needs.
Negotiations for cotton goods that were
nearing contamination have been drop
ped because of the further severe fall
in price of raw material. There is no
encouragement in the outlook for ex-
port trade in the near future. AS to
the woolens, the demand for certain
descriptions of mems wear continues
gratifying but duplicate orders for fall
goods still await results from ~clothiers
statesmen on the road Demands are
most urgent for brown and tan fancy
worsteds In lightweight spring goods.
Footwear markets at the east are
quiet, the jobbing demand from all Sec
lions being backward. Factories al
the west, especially St. Louis, are cut
ting on a relatively larger scale than
New England. Although there is a bet
ter demand of nearly all kinds of leath-
er, tanners usually make concessions
and the large buyers of hemlock sole
secure deliveries at about one cent be
low the prices current a few weeks
ago, More business is recorded in belt
ing butts, but sales are still on the
basis of 80 cents, and some not quite
up to standard nave sold a full cent
lower.
