Weather Conditions for Crops
Is Steadily Improving.
Failures Of This Week in United
States Less Than Last Year.

New York, May 2S-R. G. Dun &
Cos. Weekly Review of Trade tomor
row will say
Progress, slow, but constant, is again
the record of the week The growth Of
business confidence is indeed more
| notable than the increase in the volume
of trade but the revival in iron and
steel is of such remarkable dimensions
as to Justify the most hopeful outlook
for the entire industrial and mercan-
tile situation as soon as the tariff agi-
tt.tion is out Of the way. The period of
crop uncertainty is, however, before
us, but it is significant that notwith-
standing the lateness of the spring
which has interferred not a little with
certain lines of merchandise and par
ticularly with retail distribution the
weather. conditions for the crops are
reported favorable and are steadily
| improving.
In the primary dry goods market a
better undertOne is manifest. although
the level of the raw material compels
manufacturers to demand higher prices
| than buyers are as yet generally will
ing to pay.
Western jobbers report better
| business for fall merchandise from
statesmen on the road. House business
is seasonably quiet. There is an ab-
sence of export demand at existing
quotations. Gray goods of print cloth
yarn construction are moving slowly,
although prices are firm. Printers are
operating less freely on narrow gray
goods, but in the finer qualities prices
are firm and this division of the mar
ket is well sold ahead. Prints are not
| moving as actively as had been hoped
for. althoughA better export business
on staple prints of the lower grades
has resulted since the decline.
All domestic hide markets are quiet
but the entire situation is firm with
no further tendency toward an adj
vance in prices Late sailing native
steers are very firm and some fairly
large transactions are reported.
Country hides are moving freely but
foreign dry hides are dull. Prices have
been we'll sustained on both sole and
upper leather and although no large
individual transactions in sole leather
are reported, there have been a NUM-
Der of fair-sized contracts. Supplies of
desirable grades and weights Of hem
l.
spready leather are in better demand

Advloa to smokera.

Here are number of don'ts for
smokers, some of which no doubt will
surprise good many men: Don't
smoke directly after meal There is
the most irresistible craving to smoke,
but 1t is wiser to wait half hour or
an hour. Don't smoke out of doors
in a high wind or in cold, frosty
weather. In the former case 1t is dan
gerous, and in the latter It cracks tho
lips and prevents proper breathing.
Don't smoke with the cigar OF pipe
held at the corner Of the mouth. This
excites the secretion of more saliva
than when the cigar or pipe is held
straight In front. And, above all.
don't get in the bad habit of expecto-
rating frequently when smoking 1t
Is quite unnecessary and merely hab.
1t and harmful.-St.i Louis Post-Dis.

CALF MAY GET FRISKY
WALTER HOUSER WINS CASE BE-
FORE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Board Decides That Express Company
Can Collect Only Published Rate
on Livestock Shipment.

MONDONI, Wis, Feb. 25.-fSpe-
cial. If an express company accepts a
live calf for shipment, it may lawfully
collect only the regularly published rate,
no matter If said calf proves refractory,
runs away, and its recapture involves an
expense many times the amount of the
rate for transportation.
This decision by the Wisconsin rail-
road commission was rendered in conse-
uuence of an interesting experience of
former Secretary of State Walter l..
Houser, proprietor of the Ethelwold
stock farm near here. He shipped
fine bull calf and paid the rate of S1.12
as quoted by the agent of the express
company at Mondovi This was the
rate for a calf uncrated, although if the
calf were Grated a less rate could be
had. Mr.. Houser chose to pay the high
er rate and not go to the trouble of
Grating the calf.
The bovine was tied with halter and
rope inside the express car. At Fair.
child 1t was necessary to transfer his
calfship from one train to another, in
which process the calf became frisky,
as calves will, dragged the agent dis
lance and finally got away. The agent
hired men to capture the shipment ut Il
cost of 50 and this SUM was added
against the consignment and collected
from the consignee. He demanded and
received the So back from Mr.. Houser,
who took the matter up with The state
railroad commission, and got his 50
back, the commission deciding that the
rate was SLIP as paid, that the ex-
press company might charge this rate
Or change the rule and require calves to
be Grated when shipped alive; but 50
long as this rate remained, the company
had to deliver the shipment at its
destination.
