erly referred to the Ways and Means
Committee, inasmuch as it sought to
levy tax. Then 1 was more curious
to know whether the present tariff
schedule included dukes, earls, lords
| and counts, and finding that these
things were nowhere mentioned,
thought it might be proper for the
customs officers to classify them like
frogs legs, as poultry, for It is the
general opinion among Americans
that they are a species Of geese.
We upon this side of the House
have in recent years referred trium-
phantly to the fact that, as between
this and other nations, the balance of
trade was in our favor, but nowhere
in the summary can be found a refer
ence to such trades as these, where
soiled and frayed nobility is ex-

There was a time when wealthy
Americans travelling in Europe were
content with buying costly fabrics
and paintings by old masters Of whom
they knew nothing, but now they buy
something even more costly but less
valuable. When the wealthy girls

Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports

r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review
OF trade says:
Seasonable weather and a further
increase In the percentage OF active
machinery combined to improve the
trade situation, although there is
still large number of unemployed,
and dealers proceed cautiously in
preparing for future business. Prices
OF commodities have declined on
the whole. yet products of the lead
ing industries are fairly we'll main
tanned. Mercantile collections are
irregular, despite the ease in the
money market.
More iron and steel plants have
resumed, and the outlook is brighter
even railway equipment attracting
more attention. The situation is bet
ter because of the extent to which con
sumers seek prompt delivery, indi-
eating that the recent season of con-
servatism has nearly exhausted
stocks, and suggesting that when
confidence is fully restored a vast
tonnage of deferred business will be
placed.
Textile markets are still somewhat
unsettled, cotton goods having to con.
tend with erratic variations in the
raw material, in addition to other
disturbing influences. In some direc.
lions there is more activity, but in
other cases there are frequent in
qulries without actual transactions.
Contamination of much business
seems to be postponed by the ques
ton of price. Manufacturers have
more confidence In values, and are
sustained by the pressure for quick
shipment
