Bradstreet's Trade Review.

New York, Feb. 26.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
while there has been some expan-
sion in house jobbing trade In dry
goods and millinery lines and busi-
ness In seeds and fertilizers has been
large. the unsettlement caused by
price reductions in the iron, steel and
other metal markets. the weakness in
securities and the nearer approach Of
tariff revision have all made for a de-
gree OF uncertainty not so plainly
visible for long time past.
"As yet the reductions announced
or believed to be impending in the
metal markets have not made for a
large business being booked The coal
and coke trades respond sympatheti-
cally to the unsettlement in metals.
and there is also evidence that over
production of coarse cotton yarns will
force a reduction in output. The
finer grades of cotton goods are,
behind on deliveries. The leading
wooden goods interests are reported
to have booked orders equal to last
years entire output. and the wool
market is strong with foreign wools,
chiefly bought because of the scarcity
of stocks of domestic grades. Shoe
trade reports are that manufacturers
are busy on spring orders. Leather is
quiet, and some imperfect lots are
easier.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending February
25. were 244 against 2S2 last week
and 311 in 190S."

Must Label Blended Product "Imita
ton Whiskey.."

\ Washington. Feb. 26.-Until court
Of last resort decides otherwise, all
neutral spirits. distilled to proper
strength. and colored. and favored,
must. under the pure food law. be
labeled limitation whiskey."
Attorney GenerL. Bonaparte has is-
sued statement 10 the president,
which the president yesterday ap-
proved and made public, returning
the communication of DR.. r. L. Dun
lap. associate chemist of the agricul-
tural department, In which the attor-
ney general disagrees with the opin-
ion of DR.. Dunlap.
In his opinion. DR.. Dunlap said that
he believed the name whiskey should
not be denied to a product of neutral
spirits II 1t were diluted to a proper
strength. and II there were no harm
full ingredients In the coloring and
fiavoring. He believed that the manu-
facturers Of such goods would have
the right to use name neutral whis-
key" "redistilled whiskey." or "recti-
fed whiskey."
Attorney General Ponaparte cited
an opinion he gave April 10. 1907, In
which he said there was no way to
find name for these products other
than limitation whiskey" and in a
later opinion he said that he had
found no reason to change his belief.
The attorney general also cites an
opinion OF Justice Robb, Of the Dis
trict Court Of Appeals. and an opir-
ion of Judge Thompson, of the Uni
ted States District Court in Ohio, In
which 1t Is stated that because this
practice of marking the blended whis-
key as pure had been Of long stand
ing. 1t did not make it legal or right.
He also referred to decisions In the
District Court Of Maryland, and in tire
Southern District of Illinois. bearing
out the same opinion.
In his letter to the president, and
which the president approves. Mr..
Bonaparte says that to label any of
the blended products anything else
than imitation whiskey will be a vio-
'ation Of the pure food law.

The Christensen amendment which
passed provides. In brief:

ties now having dispensaries to deter
mine whether they shall continue the
sale Of whiskey.
This would give prohibition for two
weeks under the opening provisions
Of the prohibition bill.
All counties voting to retain the
dispensaries will be under provisions
OF csrey-cothcan act.
After the passage OF this amend
ment at it:,s O'Clock. Senator Smith

postpone the bill.
