LIMIT THE IMPORTATION
Says There Should be Limitation to
Importation Of American Pro. .
ducts to Articles Needed

WASHINGTON, April 3.-That there
should be limitation to the importa-
tion Of American products into the
Philippines, was the plea presented to
the house during the tariff debate, by
Renito Legarda delegate from the
Philippines. l.egarda declared a de-
felt of s2,500,000 was established ow-
ing TO free admission, without limita-
tion as to quality.
He said: Instead of the free ad-
mission without limitation as to the
quantity OF American products, this
bill provided for only free entry there
of agricultural machinery, and other
commodities of prime necessity. such
as cotton cloth. which Is needed in the
agricultural and industrial develop
ment of the island, or If the Payne bill
provided only for such reciprocal ex-
changes of commodities, custom duty
free, as would balance the limited
quantity of American products to be
sent from here-if such were the pro-
visions of the bill, 1t would be our
pleasant duty as representatives of the
Filipino people, to make manifest
their gratitude to this house and the
American people"
Twelve members Of the house were
present when Crumpacker, of India

NEW YORK. April s.-Bradstreet's

NEW YORK, April 3.-Bradstreet's
says:
Trade and crop reports are irregu-
lar and business the country over Is
still quiet as whole. There are,
however, evidences of growth in
optimistic feeling, partly due, no
doubt, to more spring-likc weather
conditions. Current demand at whole
sale is of a between-season character
and jobbing distribution is confined
largely to flling-in orders, but there
is reported in several markets dis
position to take hold more freely for
next fall.
Eports from leading industries are
not materially different from last
week. Wage reductions are more
numerous, but strikes are not fre-
ouent. In iron and steel there is more
business reported, but evidently at
the expense of prices. Pig iron is dull
and lower.
A strike and lockout has been avert
ed in the anthracite coal trade, and
the usual spring reduction in prices
is announced. Bituminous coal is still
dul. and weak. The shoe and leather
trades are quiet, with little business
yet booked for the fall season in
shoes.
Business failures for the week end
ing with April /, were, in the United
States, 2O4, against 226 last week, PAT
in the like week of 1908, 1871 in 1907,

Spring Weather Aids Business.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says:
The stimulating effect of fine spring
weather is shown in the reports from
nearly all the principal cities. Some
progress is making toward better
things in iron and steel, although con.
ditions as whole remain very urs-
settled. The continued uncertainty as
to prices in some finished lines is the
chief drawback, widely circulated le-
ports of further price cutting having
a depressing effect The best feature
is in the structural division, the low
prices named resulting in heavy
4 movement. while orders pending ag-
gregate substantial volume.
In the primary cotton goods market
manufacturers are disposed to refuse
contracts for future shipment. indi-
cations pointing to higher rather than
a recession in prices. The dominant
factor is the export movement n
China, which has not yet terminated.
Estimates as to the aggregate busi-
ness done since the first of the year
vary from 100000 bales to $4,000
bales, very large amount for This
