Dun & Co.'s Review.

New York, November FIR. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say.
 Although the holiday and unreasonable weather handicapped business this week, further substantial progress was made toward normal commercial activity. es- pecially in respect to the number of wage earners employed in the leading indus tries. Mills that have been closed for over a year are reopening and many plants that were on part. time or force are now in full operation Recovery is making remarkable strides, and almost every comparison with a year ago pro- vides a reason for the day devoted to grateful recognition.
 Prices of pig iron are well maintained at recent advances, which may appear out of proportion to changes in finished products, but it is only a recovery of former losses, when pig iron declined, while steel was unaltered. One of the best features of the week was the de- mand for railway supplies. Steel rails were ordered moderately and many leading roads are ready to operate if the mills will roll according to special schedules at standard prices.
 Strength is maintained in the primary markets for textiles, although cotton goods are a little less active on account of the firm position of producers. Buy CTS propositions naming concessions from regular quotations are rejected promptly. A little increase in sale of standard drills to India is only development in the ex- port department, the decline in silver prices postponlng the expected improve ment in demand from China, while Red sea buyers refuse to advance bids to cur rent figures. Woolens are gradually gain ing, despite the high temperature. Staple goods for the next heavy weight season are about to be shown, but fancy offer ings will be reduced. A few lines of dress goods for the spring trade have sold freely, notably satin faced fabrics.
 Wheat, including flour exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending November 26 aggregate 4936242 bushels, against 5,599,314 last week and 5,459, ,324 this week last year.
 For the 22 weeks ending November 26, this year, the exports are 94,3l9796 bushels, against 90, ,4S2.S1S in the corre- spending period last year.
 Corn exports for the week are S64. 6O9 bushels. against 2S9717 last week and 710,1S2 in 1907. For the % weeks ending November 26, corn exports are 23 496, SS5 bushels, against 20 477,O71 last year.

WHOLESALE TRADE
 IS MUCH IMPROVED
Some Irregularities Are Noted
 In Certain Sections
BUYING ON LARGER SCALE
Reatil Trade Is Better, But Not Regu- lar In It's roVement-Weather Is Too Warm In Southern
 Part of the Country.

New York. November 27-Bradstreets weekly review of trade tomorrow will say
 Wholesale trade, crop and industrial de- velopments are generally in the direction of improvement, there Is less idle ma chinery, and the tone of affairs generally is still cheerful, but there are numer- ous irregularities noted in conditions in different sections and industries. The sltu- ation, as a whole, therefore, lacks some of the uniformity which characterized It some time ago. Most optimism and strength is exhibited in the leading lines of domestic manufacture and wholesale trade particularly as to the outlook for next year, and manufacturers are buy ing more freely of most raw materials, while wholesalers report evidences of scarcity in many lines, especially cotton goods for spring and later delivery next year. In retail trade there is a good deal of irregularity. though the advent of rains and snows, followed by colder weather, helped to improve conditions as the week advanced. Southern trade, how ever, was rather dull throughout, due to warm weather and the low price of cotton, and even In parts of the west, as well as the entire eastern half of the country retail buying might be better. In some lines of trade, especially iron and steel, there is disposition to regard tariff discussion as a bar to fullest ac- tivities. Collections are better, except in the south. and money is in better demand for business purposes.
 Higher prices for leather. a turn in the tide of shoe shipments, predictions of freer buying of railway materials of iron and steel, and higher prices with smaller sales of raw wool are leading incidents of the week.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending November 26 number 193. against 27S last week and 25S in the like week of 1907, IA in 1906, 1sS in 1905, and 1S4 in 1904
 Business failures in Canada for the week number 25, which compares with 6S last week and 46 in this week last year.

LAPWAI ROAD
CONTROVERSY
GOVERNMENT CALMIS ABs0LU-
TIE RIGHT TO CLOSE UP OLD
HIGHWAY AND HAS NEW SUR
vEY PERFECTED


pal states that the new road passing
around the Indian reserve between
Lapwai and Sweetwater has been
surveyed and crew of men is en-
geged in the construction of the
fence. This road will leave the old
Lapwai-Sweetwater highway at a
point near the Indian mission and
will pass to the north bank of Lap
wal creek and follow the foot of the
north hill to point above the Inri-
an reserve, where the creek will
be recrossed and union affected
with the old road short distance
this side of the Sweetwater station,
The change in the road is made
In accordance with instructions re-
ceived by Indian Agent Lipps from
the secretary of the Indian depart
ment and these instructions provide
for the fencing of the present road.
The acton of the Indian Depart
ment is bitterly opposed by the
| people of the Lapwai section, who
presented remonstrance to the
board of county commissioners ask
! ing that action be taken to prevent
the closing up of the road that is
alleged to have been established be-
fore the military post was located
at Fort Lapwai. The matter was
| fully discussed by the commissioners
and an order issued to the overseer
of the Lapwai road district to re-
move any distractions placed in or
across the road and to Arrest any per-
son guilty of obstFucting or causing

claim the proposed road will be ar
expensive one to construct and K
maintain and that during thu

The government holds that Thu

not only hindrance to the schoo
work but is general embarrass

and the right to enclose the sam

Chief Magistrate Declares He Has
 Conclusive Evidence of Conspiracy,
 Bribery and Corruption Against tho
 President and Six Members of Com
 mon Counoil-Voters' League Aids In
 Prosecuton-Seven Counolmen anu
 Officials of National Bank Arrested.
 Pittsburg, Dec. 22.-Mayor George w. Guthrie told today how he had laid d trap for bribe giving and bribe talk ing councilmen which led to the ar rest of President William Brand of the common council, six members of the finance committee of the common and select councils and the president and cashier of one of Pittsburg's lead ing banks on charges of bribery and conspiracy.
 The mayor declared that with the aid of the Voters league, civic re- form organization, he had secured con elusive evidence of conspiracy, brib- cry and corruption.
 "DetectiveS were sent to certain councilmen," said the mayor, and the latter, not perceiving the trap, fell into it and gave important information which put them in our power
 With the exception of the San Francisco graft cases" he said, there has never been in this country such a sweeping and such an important pro ceeding against municipal officers as is involved in this case
 Mayor Guthrie said that the evi- dence on which the charges are based cover municipal transactions for two years and that the arrests are aimed at ring of alleged grafters who have held Pittsburg by the throat.
 The evidence, he declares. shows that the grafting ring has robbed the city by demanding enormous sums for favorable legislation.
 Those under arrest are President Brand, Jacob Soffel Jr.; Hugh Fergu- son. Captain John F. Klein, w. H. Melaney and Joseph c. Wasson of the common council and T. Ollie Atkinson of the select council. Added to this number are President W. w. Ramsey and Cashier A. A. Vilsack of the Ger man National bank.
 The charges against the prisoners are as follows:
 That they wickedly, corruptly and unlawfully gave money and other bribes to influence the vote of mem bers of the select and common coun- cils to secure passage of ordinances pending before said bodies; designat- ing the Repositories for the funds of the city of Pittsburg; bridge ordi- nances, bond ordinances for freeing bridges, ordinances for filter beds. He berton street railway ordinance, reso- lution to pave Fourth avenue with wood blocks and other resolutions and ordinances peuding before the select and common councils" The sensation was increased by the fact that four of the prisoners-Wasr son, Soffel, Klein and Brand-belong to what is known as "the big six" of the common council.
 It is charged that during the two years covered by the allegations i'm mense sums have been pocketed by grafterS in the two councils.
 It is alleged that the bankers gave to members of the councils S17, 300 to make the German National bank a city depository.
 All of the accused men were re- leased today on bonds of from $15, ,000 to $30,O00 each.
