Business holds the ground recently re-

manufacturers find orders scarce and
there is much complaint of high prices

very favorably with tho month proceed

way earnings thus far reported for
February decreased L., per cent. as

CONSENSUS OF OPINION
BUYING CONSERVATIVE.

New York. Fob cS.-Bra dstrect's state
Of trade tomorrow will say:
Distribution Of staple goods by iobbcrs
tends to increase as the spring buying
season advances and the large num-
chants to the markets, but there is
consensus of opinion that buying is con-
servative. and that staple goods and
necessities comprise the heavier part of
the bushes done. Retail trade Is quiet,
except where price reductions on winter
weight goods tempt buyers. and final
dstributive demand unQuestonab,y feels
the reduced purchasing power of the
public at large. due to short time or re-
duction OF earnings in industry Whole
sale trade is quiet Tho improvement in
finished lines Of steel noted last week has
gone further and slightly larger
capacity is now at work but crude out
put seems to be no larger. A favorable
development in finished steel is the
placing of orders by some roads for rails
IN addition to those noted weeks ago
The shoe industry does not gain much
at the East. but western reports are Of
fuller capacity working. Wooden goods
the clothing trade is reported buying
better

BRUTAL HABIT OF DOCKING
HORSES TAILS.


Lovers Of horses all over the country
should rejoice that an attempt is making
IL IS ntucy 70 prevent docking horses
tails Tho Legislature Of that State is
considering bill prescribing heavy
penalty for that practice which is de-
c!arcd TO be crime
) crime it certainly is. The horse is
bound 50 that it can not struggle and It's
tail is cut off. causing intense Pain anC
leaving woUnud that Tor weeks is the
cause of aFoNy. But this is not the
worst. for all the rest Of MS life 'ae
horse IS at tho mercy of flies during the
summer months It's only means of pro-
lection has been removed. Thus. for tine
sake Of silly fashion mans most fai.l-
fu. and useful friend is made to suffer
for years.
The movement that has been inaugI-
rated in Kentucky should extend to other
States, and horse docking should be
stopped throughout the country. From
the esthetic standpoint, horses with long
tails are much more beautiful than thos,
;hat have been locked Horse owners
should refuse longer to follow the brutal
and ugly foreign custom. Americans
might as well initiate the Chinese by
binding ana dis1Euring womens feet. as
to MAIN their horses because Europeans
DO SO.
The Rutland Humane society took uu
this matter a few years ago and sue
cceded in creating quite a healthy senti-
mcnt against the brutal practice, despite
the obstacle that confronted il in the
fact that some OF the leading spirits in
the society themselves rode behind dock
| ed tails.
