BRADsTREET's TRADE REVIEW

NEW YORK, April 1.-Bradstreet' S
tomorrow will say:
Trade reports are rather more ir-
regular, with distribution rather less
active than in the preceding two
weeks. Retail trade so far has been
better than a year ago, but from
many centers reports are of the vol
ume of jobblng trade not being up to
expectations for which high prices
and Industrial unrest are assigned as
reasons.
In the industries diverse movements
are shown. Pending settlement of
wages, several hundred thousand coal
miners are reported stopping work. In
the cotton goods trade the curtail-
ment movement has made further pro-
greSs.
Recent reductions of prices by job
berS alive brought out varying re-
sponses. Northern cotton mill cur
tailment is considerable, though less
marked than at the southern, because
of different goods produced. On the
other hand, a favorable development,
so far as purchasing power is con-
cerned, is the granting of higher
wages to 100000 railroad employees.
Business failures for the week end
ing with March 81 in the United
States were 229, against 231 last week,
2O4 in 1909, 247 in 1908, 1877 in 1907
and Isl in 1906.
Wheat, including flour. exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending March 81 aggregate L.
744,279 bushels. against 1,163,57S last
week, and 1,413,593 this week last
year For the SO weeks ending March
81, exports are 115,269,574 bushels,
against 145,514,455 in the correspond
ing period last year.
Corn exports for the week are L.
0S5,351 bushels, against SSS,675 last
week, and 1,102.244 in 1909. For the
80 weeks ending March 81 corn ex-
ports are 22,734,S52 bushels, against
24,S22,0 60 last week.

NEW YORK. April 1.-Justice Ed

transactions with William III. Buck

AS Buckley had to leave town, he
arranged that Mr.. Mccall should re-

few inactive stocks in the unlisted

The discOntinuance of the unlisted

of the important recommendations
made by Governor Hughess Wall

report, and is in line with the demand
for greater publicity on the part Of
corporations.

The unlisted department of the New
York Stock Exchange was created
about 1881, but did not become much
OF a factor until 1889, when the new
ly organized American Sugar Refining
company made application to place its
securities on the list. BY the middle
OF that year the unlisted department
became the center of much speculation,
there beng heavy trading in the Sugar
stocks, National Lead certificates,
Cotton Oil Trust certificates
and Distillers' and Cattle Feeders GER
tificates. Silver certificates. which
were admitted to the unlisted depart
ment in 1890, became the center of the
widest speculation on the exchange
owing to the passage "a the silver pur-
chase law, the price gong up from
971h on January 81, 1890, to 121 on Au
gust 10 of that year, the change rep
resenting the value of silver in cents
an ounce.
The unlisted depa rtment has been
more or less of a sigma on the ex-
change ever since il was created. 1t
was at first utilized largely by pro-,
moters and speculat rs, whose abuses
at last reached such proportions that
in 1895 the governing committee was
obliged to take measures TO prevent

NEW YORK, April John Howard
Van Amringe, dean of Columbia col
lege for nearly twenty years, and per-
haps the most popular instructor Co
lumbia has ever had, will celebrate his
18TH birthday tomorrow. Dean Van
Amringe has been a member of the Co
lumbia faculty for 80 years. and only
recently announced his retirement,
which becomes effective on June 80
next.
With the announcement of the
deans retirement was cleared the Sc
cret of his age, which no Columbia
man ever knew. For the last ten years
every student and alumnus of Columbia
has been singing at every college gath
er!ng the famous song in honor of'Van
Amringe:
Dye ken Van Am with his snow white
hair,
Dye ken Van Am with his whiskers
rare,
Dye ken Van Am with his martial air,
AS he crosses the Quad in the morn
ing?
ivan AM, as Columbia men all
know him, began teaching in the
college before he got his degree in
1860, and has been at it ever since.
Practically every freshman who has
come into Columbia in the last twenty
years has made the acquaintance of
Van Am before he met any other pro-
fessor In fact the dean was as much
interested in student as in faculty at
fairs, and whenever dispute arose
between undergraduates and the uni
versity authorities, the dean either
took the side of the students or stayed
out of the dispute.
There We're many reasons for the
popularity of the dean, but the chief
one was that he fought increasingly

partments in other universities. When
Columbia university was ruled by
President Barnard the authorities
thought the university could get along
without the academic department, ii
was Dean Van Amringe who was re-
sponsible for the abandonment of that
plan, and his arguments in favor of
the retention of the college were so
strong that now the authorities are
convinced that they cannot get along
without it.
largely for their success on the dean.
When the decision to abolish football
was reached Van Amringe fought to
the end to have the game retained, be-
cause he knew the students and the
alumni wanted it. Year after year he
insisted that the college should have
home of it's own, and from the time
Columbia moved to Morningside
Heights he made his headquarters in
the most dilapidated building on the
grounds to impress prospective bene-
factors with the need OF new build

An old scandal connected with the
American occupation of Cuba will be
revived during the criminal term OF
the United States circuit court, which
begins Monday. Charles f. w. Neely'
a United States government employe,
who ten years ago was arrested for
embezzling government funds when
attached to the postoffice department
in Cuba. will probably be called upon
to face trial at this term.
The action that led to this probable
termination of case that has slumb-
governments scandals is due TO de-
cision reached recently by Judge Coke
in denying a motion to vacate an at
tachement against the $4,000 cash bail
deposited by Nicely when arrested.
Chief of Detectives Hayden in
Rochester, N Y. (now retired), ar
rested Nicely on May 6, 1900. when
Nicely accepted from messenger boy
a telegram written by Hayden and ad-
dressed to Nicely When arrested Nicely
said he was innocent of any crime, and
pointed out to Hayden that If guilty
would he not have been tried long
before. 1t was noticed that from year
to year his trial here never has been
called The death of special counsel
employed by the government was given
as one reason for the delay. In May
following his arrest, Judge Lacmbe
issued an attachment against the bail
($20,000) which Nicely deposited with
United States Commissioner Shields.
This was the result of a civil action
that tried in 1904, resulted in a dis
agreement OF the jury.
