TRADE REVIEW
FOR THE WEEK
Rather Quiet Tone Prevails in
Business and Industry.

New York, March 6.-Bradstreet's
says: Weather Irregularities and tar
i'll and price revision uncertainties
combine in making a rather quiet tone
in trade and industry, pending clearer
views of these and winter wheat crop
possibilities. The trade reports come
from the central west and southwest,
and in those sections jobbing trade
shows moderate Improvement, as do
collections. The urgent need of rain
in Texas is accentuated this week.
while in the rest OF the south business
is still rather dull. At large eastern
markets trade with first hands is in a
betwCen-seasOnS' condition and a
slight decrease in retail demand has
been interfered with by severe storm
along the eastern seaboard. Most ac.
tivity, with some complaint of delayed
deliveries, is noted in the finer lines
of dress goods, and women's wear
goods are in a more favorable position
than mems wear fabrics. In millinery
there is good business doing. Agri-
cultural implements and supplies are
displaying continued good movement
Cuts in iron and steel have as yet
brought out only a moderate amount
of business. Some low prices are be-
ing made in competitive territory.
Structural material is more active but
new buying is confined largely to
rails, which have not been cut. Iron
production is very large. Some wage
reductions are already announced.
Southern hard cotton yarn manufact-
urers have decided on a one-third cur
tailment of output The shoe leather
trades are quieter, though manufact-
urers are busy on orders for the form
er. Prices of desirable leather are
firm and large imports with good
sales of foreign wool are noted. Col.
lections are irregular and not better
than fair as a whole.
Failures for the week number 2l9.
Wheat exports tor the week aggre-
gate 2,956,977 bushels Corn exports
are 7G0.55O bushels.

Philadelphia, March S.-Presidens
Lewis of the United Mine Workers OF
America and the miners committee
on Thursday will have a conferences
with the presidents of the anthracite
railroad and coal companies here.
There is a distinctly better feeling
in the hard coal fields regarding the
outcome of the negotiations. Business
men say that they look for only II
short suspension of work, if, indeed
there is any suspension at all.
1t was in April, seven years ago.

brought in its wake public hardship

Lincoln, niarch S.-The Democratic
caucus to be held tonight for the pur.
pose of deciding on a program for
the legislature for the next twelve
days is the center of interest. There
remains much work to do and the
work of agreeing on a plan of proceed
ure is no small one. The Sitting
committee will put in some hard ticks
the next two days, wedding out such
bills as, in the opinion of its mem.
bers are unworthy of the time of the
legislative body. Thus far the house
has been in session torty-eight days
and the senate forty-five days.
1t is now evident that perhaps $50
bills will be passed by the two houses
before the end of the session, and this
will keep the governor busy. One OF
the matters to be decided on by the
caucus is whether Speaker Pool shall
name the sitting committee or wheth.
er it shall be made by the committee
on committees. The speaker is of the
mind that he should be permitted to
name the sitting committee, and his
strength with the majority will prob.
ably be sufficient to reserve to him
that right.
Several measures, among them the
bank deposit guaranty bill, the rail.
road taxation bill and other Democrat.
ic legislation, are expected to occupy
the two houses for the present week.
There has been talk of an attempt ia
secure the passage of bill which
would permit boxing contests in Ne.
hraska, but opposition to such action
is very strong. In fact the time limi
for the introduction of new bills is
past, and unless an amendment is
tackled onto some bill already before
the legislature making such contests
legal, a special message of the gov
ernor would be necessary to secure
action on such legislation. This is
considered out of the question.
