the Railroads Be Earning Much
More Per Than Last Presidential Year---Thnks
Depression Is Only Temporary.

Washington, d. C.--Some remarks
about conditions in the railroad
world which were contained in an in
terview with James j. Hill In New
York brought out a response from
Franklin X. Lane, member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Here is part of Mr.. Lanes statement:
"The whole world has great ad-
miration for Mr.. Hill, but l do wish
he would not be so lugubrious. Jim
Dumps has not yet superseded the
optimistic Uncle Sam as the typical
American. A year ago Mr.. Hill said
that the railroads had failed to meet
the traffic necessities of the country;
that there had been a steady increase

not met and that 1t would be neces-
sary to invest $500, 100000 in pro-

influence to breaking II down.
Let us see what these figures
show" said Mr.. Lane. THE average
monthly receipts from freight and
passenger traffic for each mile of the
225,000 miles of railroad in the Uni
ted States reporting to this commits
sion for the first seven months of this
fiscal year were $3.50, which is $3.50
per mile per month more than the
average for the fiscal year ended
July /, 1905, the year of the last
Presidential election, which was GER
tainly not regarded as poor year in
the railroad or industrial world. The
net revenue from traffic allowing for
all operating expenses, including in
creased wages and cost of material in
the fiscal year ending in 1908, is S37
per mile per month greater than in
the year 1904-05. The net monthly
revenue for this fiscal year is thus
far 81 less per mile than for the pre-
ceding year 1906-07, which may be
taken as high water mark thus far in
the history of the United States"
The interview which drew the
above comment is as follows:
New York City.-James J. Hill,
who has arrived in this city, says of
business conditions: while cannot

am trying not to be pessimistic. The
general recovery in business which
has been predicted has not yet mani
tested itself to any remarkable de-
gree, and 1t is not to be expected that
1t should. The prevailing conditions
were not brought about overnight;
they are the result of events of many
months, and revival will no doubt
be correspondingly gradual"

Human Dogs In Paris.

A new profession, known as that Of

A tax O. SO a year is imposed on every

Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Renorts.
Rradstreet,a saws:

The first week of spring has seen
an expansion in retail trade and an
enlargement OF operations in build
ing lines, especially at the West.
Conservative estimates of actual
needs govern buying, and replace
ment of broken stocks is the chief
source of jobbing and wholesale de-
mand. Trade in the primary branches
Is therefore quiet, and operations in
industrial lines are below normal.
Bushes failures for the week end
ed March 26 number for the United
States 2S6, against 303 last week,
166 in the like week of 1907, 169
in 1906, 227 in 1905 and 212 in
1904.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
The best news of the week as to
manufacturing conditions comes from
the leather industry, although ship
ments of footwear through Boston
are only about two-thirds those of
the same week last year.
In the primary markets for textile
fabrics there is more inquiry, es-
pecially for small quantities of cot
tons to be shipped promptly. Urg-
ency of demand for immediate ship
ment indicates that stocks in dis
tributing channels are light and
goods must be secured for delivery
on orders that were taken. but not
provided for, in the expectation that
lower prices would be named by pro-
ducers before retailers called for
them. The decline in price of raw
material has had a depressing effect
on the tone of the market for cotton
goods and actual Improvement is,
therefore, the more gratifying, while
finished products are no cheaper.

Parts of Rate Law
ending urt Actio

Washington, d. C.-The Govern
ment will not prosecute railroads for
failure to comply with the "commod-
ity clause" of the railroad law pend
ing decision of the Supreme Court.
That decision has been arrived at,
It is understood, after careful consid-
Grafton by the President, and he has
accordingly directed the Department
of Justice to bring test case as soon
as possible after May 1. the day when
becomes effective the law forbidding
any railroad to transport any article
or commodity (other than timber)
manufactured, mined or produced by
such road, or in which 1t is directly
or indirectly interested.
Thus any railroad that owns coal
mines would be liable to prosecution
should it carry its own coal to mar
