OUM's TRADE REVIEW
IMPROVEMENT IN STRUCTURE

(By the Associated Press.)

New York. Feb. 19.-R. G. Dun q
Conpany's Weekly Review of Trade
tomorrow will say:
Improvement in the structure or
business is much more pronounced
than Improvement in the activity Of
business. While financial and po-
litical developments, both in Europe
and the United States are distinctly
better, the toward the eager
iy expected revival Of trade is slow
and, especially in the iron, copper
and coal trades, is disappointing. Cot
ton goods are firm. Wooden goods
are chiefly active in the better grades
Of fancy wOrstedS.
Continued firmneSs Of raw material
indicates little likelihood of a re-
vision of prices in cotton goods and
some lines ever show a tendency to
advance, although trade generally is
quiet. There is no resumption in
the export demand, but the fact that
China has already taken $4,000 bales
since the first of December, as against
So 900 bales during the entire year OF
1908, materially strengthens this
ranch of the market.
The loot veal market is decidedly
Gull, mail orders being infreQuent and

Trials and TribulatiOnS of Spokane

(From HamDton'S Magazine for Nav.)
Freight rates are about as mys-
terious and vague to the average indi-
vidual as life on the planet Mars. and
vet the freight rate vitality concerns
every American citizen in his daily
life. Charles Edward Russell. in
HamptOn'S Magazine for May, reveals

Spokane is three hundred and forty
miles east Of Seattle; the haul from
Chicago to Seattle is about twenty-
two hundred and forty-eight miles,: the
haul from Chicago to Spokane is only
nineteen hundred and eight miles. The
lines by which freight is hauled from
Chicago to Seattle pass through Spo-
kane and go three hundred and forty
miles farther to reach Seattle. is
that clear? Good, To q traveller pass
ing from Chicago to Seattle. Spokane
is relatively like Syracuse to one pass

Let US say that 0 are a dry goods
merchant in Spokane and you have
shipped to you from Chicago a car
load of calico and other fabrics in
YOUR line. On that carload the freight
rate that YOU Will pay is not the nor
