and. as In the preceding cause. II ap-
plies heavily both to men and women.
OF the divorces granted to men lO5
per cent. were for the cruelty of their
wives. OF the divorces granted to
women 27.5 per cent. we're for the
cruelty OF their husbands.
In the case of both men and women
infidelity Is the third cause In relative
Importance. On the bare face OF the
census figures 1t would appear that
women are more likely to be untrue
to treir husbands than men are to be
untrue to their wives. since only ten
per cent OF the divorces granted to
women were for the infidelity OF their
husbands. while 2S.7 per cent. of the
divorces granted to men were for the
infidelity of their wives. But. Of
course, 1t Is not true that women sin
more than men In this respect. What
is true is that women who thus err
are more frequently found out and
less frequently forgiven. And poor
old census bureau Is not. Of course.
expected to tabulate such fact as
this, because the figures to sustain the
fact cannot be obtained.
Laid to Drunkenness.
Drunkenness comes forward as the
fourth cause. but 1t comes forward

form. Only SO per cent. Of all the d.
vorces are granted because of habits
formed around hot stoves in the bar
room. and as between the sexes most
of the blame. OF course. goes to the
men. Only IL per cent. Of the d..
vorces granted to men were for the
drunkenness OF their wives. while 5.3
per cent. of the divorces granted to
women were for the drunkenness Of
their husbands.
In relative Importance. neglect to
provide Is the fifth cause, this reason
having been assigned in 81 per cent.
of the divorces granted. In alleging
this grievance women would have

In general 1t will have been observed
that while one Is most likely IN be

New York's Low Record.
New York's divorce rate. as might
naturally be expected, is low New
YORK stands forty-seventh in the list
OF ao states and territories, with a

same. Connecticut is thirty.nipth
with a ratio OF 1870. while in Penpsyl
'ania 100000 married couples are re-
CURED to produce "a divorces in a
year.
Coming down to causes. we find
that most men who obtain divorces
assign as their grievance the deser
uon OF their wives. and that mos,
women give the same reason. 1t also
appears that women are more likely
TO desert than men. or the divorces
granted to men 49.i per cent. were fol

women because of the desertion OF
their husbands amounted to 1876 ne,
cent. OF the whole number OF divorces
that were granted to women.

divorce. But such a person counts
only one In the statistics-and there
are not many such persons.
South Carolina prohibits divorce
will not grant one for any cause. But
there are many desertions in South
Carolina-and does anyone believe
there Is more domestic happiness in
South Carolina than anywhere else?
Women seem to be getting their
courage back. Their increased cruelty
heads the list Of increased causes,
and their ability to bid the home an
unceremonious and final farewell ex.
ceeds anything that men are doing In
the same direction.

their wives did not provide them with
the necessary clothing. shelter and
nourishment.
Combinations of the five preceding
causes were responsible for s.4 per
cent. of the divorces. and other griev.
ances, not here enumerated, caused
the other 81 per cent.
Some interesting facts were also
discovered with regard to the relative
speeds at which the various causes
for divorce are increasing.
In the case Of women cruelty heads
the list with an increase In 40 years

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Improved Condition Shown in Some Lines, but Others
Are Disappointing.

New York. Feb. 6.-Bradstreet's review
Of the state Of trade tomorrow VIII say:
Trade is quiet as q whole and indus
trial operations are still below normal in
most lines. Conservative buying is stlIl
marked, and there IS also present the feel
ing OF disappointment hitherto noted at
the failure OF spring trade to open up
more rapidly.
Some measures OF trade volume showed
slight reoessiOns In January from Deem
Der. but the failure record was an encour-
aging one, and the improvement over the
same month year ago, when business
was at a low ebb. Is general and marked.
Retail trade has been benefited in some
sections BY cold weather and stimulated
by price concessions, but Is still not up 70
expectations.
s''GeneraI agreement IS found. however,
that stocks IN final distributors hands are
light, and while demand Of jobbe-s Is
largely 70 FL present requirements. conf
denee in a good spring trade is widely
felt. Money IS easy. testifying 10 COM
mercial demand being limited. Collec-
lions are little changed, and classed as
fair as q whole.
''The disposition IN many lines Is stIIl to
attribute slowness OF demand in opening
up TO fear Of tariff revisIons, but there Is
manifest now disposition to recognize
more fully the play OF natural conditions
and restriction OF consumptive require
ments proceeding from reduced earning
power OF the community.
The feeling is that the approach OF
spring viii bring more life IN trade, and
that business viii soon feel the effects OF
the approach Of the growing season
