THE MAD MULLAH
 AGAIN ON WARPATH

Alden, Arabia. February 1S.-Mohammed Abdullah of Somaliland, the Mad Null lah.' is again on the warpath. A big force of dervishes has raided the sultan ate of the Mijertins. killing and burning in all directions. The slaughter of the tribesmen was very heavy. One whole town was gutted by fire and 14,000 camels taken by the dervishes. The administra- ton of the sultanate of the Mijertins is intrusted to the government of Italian Somaliland.
 The Mad Mullah'' has caused the Brit ish considerable anxiety for many years. He began stirring up the natives of Somaliland after making a pilgrimage to Mecca in 1896, and the movement grldu- ally spread until he had at his command Q considerable army, including some of the best fighting tribes in that part of Africa Among the victories credited to the Mullahs army are the annihiliation of the forces commanded by Colonel Punk ett and his defeat of Colonel Swain.
 As the result of an agreement reached in December. 1905, between Great Britain and Italy, to offer the Mulah an assign ment of a settled sphere in Somaliland, together with grazers' rights in certain parts of British and Italian territory, the Mullah undertook to observe peace toward both Great Britain and Italy.

TRADE REPORTS
 MORE CHEERFUL Jobbing Business Gives Evi-
 dence of Expansion PRICES ARE STILL HIGH Notable Feature Is Continucd Sagging In Exports of Farm Products
 Orders to Manufacturers
 Are Very Heavy
PRICES ARE STILL HIGH

New York. February 1S.-Bradstreots to- morrow will say:
 Trade reports are rather more cheer. ful. Visible evidence of expansion in job. ping trade, in consonance with the ad' vance of the season. are found In the re. ports that the large numbers of buyers in leading markets. especially in the west southwest and parts of the. south, have taken hold more freely, although even ir the markets of the southwest, whence best reports come, there are evidences of conservatism. based largely on the high prices asked for goods Jobbing trade al the east is slow to open up. but there is certainly more doing in jobbing at New York. while primary dealings are still classed as quiet Inquiry at leading mar kets fails to substantiate the exaggerated reports of cancellations noted for some time past. and there are few signs of the widely heralded reaction in distributive trade.
 The most notable feature today is the continued sagging in the exports of farm products, an effect easily traceable to the high prices ruling for breadstuffs, meats. animals and cotton. In connection with this 1t might be noted that all high price records In western markets since 1870 were broken by live hogs this week.
 Manufacturers are we'll supplied with orders. Western shoe men are running to capacity. There is rather less pessimism in the iron and steel trade. Reports from the Pacific coast lumber trade are good. Collections range from slow to fair
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending February F were 269. against 249 last week and 82 in the like week of 1909.
 Canadian failures not given this week.

Dun's Weekly Review

New York, February R.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Improved financial conditions serve to strengthen business confidence.
 Sentiment in iron and steel is more cheerful now that the United States Steel corporation has entered the market for pig iron, although the situation on the whole In this division still remains some what disappointing. No cancellations are reported, however, and shipments are well sustained except where severe weather has delayed transportation. Some rail- roads have found 1t necessary to replenish old rolling stock because of the wear and tear caused by an unusually hard winter and a western system alone has placed an order for 75 locomotives.
 Activity is especially pronounced in the wire trade, and the reported weakening of prices is not general. The dry goods iobbing trade was more active this week and q large sale Of dress goods in a lead ing New York house proved eminently successful.
 Many buyers have been operating in all departments of the market, but show no speculative spirit. In the opinion of large jobbing house managers the business of the week was up to normal averages for the season.
 Primary dry goods markets are still not eiftlTelt sBustdctofv as COI1pelltlOn TOT business is close. Some buying is noted as prices are A0ssc below those ruling a few weeks ago. Export cotton goods trade is lacking The larger woolen and worsted corporations are securing busi- ness. but the. smaller concerns are not making satisfactory headway.
 Yarns continue slow and generally weak. Improvement is noted in the shoe trade. buyers no longer hesitate and a good volume of orders are received. Fac tories are well supplied. The leather mar ltet shows renewed activity and some large sales of sole leather are reported at Boston at the close of the recent quota lions. Pronounced weakness continues in all kinds of domestic hides and foreign dry hides have sold at 1ac reduction. Prices on about all varieties of packer Gnd country Hides are purely nominal as there are no l sales of account.
