TRADE GETSSETbACK
Gradually improving Temper Of 6usl.
ness Checked by Contest Over
Railroad Rates.

New YORK;. @. Dun & Co.'s week.
ly review of trade says:
The gradually improving temper Of
large business during the last two
weeks has been checked by the irrt-
tating contest over railroad rates. The
effect of this upon the trade situation
can not yet be measured.
Sharp competition in the pig iron
markets has resulted in further price
concessions. This weakness is gen.
eral in practically all directions, and
some producers who had been unwil-
ing to lower quotations are now meet.
ing the views of consumers.
Cotton goods were affected adverse.
ly by the break in raw cotton, buyers
hesitating until more stable condi-
tons appear. Staple prints were re-
duced half cent a yard during the
week, and more business is coming
forward now. Drills and sheetings
are in moderate request. and bleached
goods are selling somewhat more
freely. New lines OF underwear for
spring are being opened, and a new
price list on cotton duck has gone
into effect. In mems wear stock
goods are being offered and purchased
ut favorable prices for buyers. A bet
ter inquiry has developed for certain
lines of cheap dress goods for imme
date and future delivery. The yarn
market rules quiet, but cotton yarns
show more flrmness. The trend of
dry goods trading in primary circles
is conservative, but, generally speak
ing, values are showing a firmer ten
dency.
Footwear conditions continue decid-
edly unsatisfactory. New orders re-
ccived through statesmen on the road
and by mail are of small volume, and
reserve orders in the hands of many
New England manufacturers are run
ming very low. Trade in leather is
unsatisfactory. and some tanners are
making concessions to clean out some
accumulations of undesirable lines. A
dull and weak market continues in all
kinds Of hides.
Bank exchanges this week made
quite a satisfactory increase as COM
pared with the corresponding week a
year ago, total exchanges at all lead
ing cities in the United States aggre-
eating $3.50, s1O,755. an increase OF
81 per cent compared with last year.
New York city reports an increase,
and outside that center there are
/ gains at almost every city, some Of
them being large. notably Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg, Cleveland Mime
apolis. st. Louis. Kansas City, New
Orleans and San Francisco, Boston.
Chicago and Cincinnati again report
losses. Compared with 1906 losses
are general, due to the fact that the
week that year contained one more
business day.

RAIL MEN PLAN FOR DEFENSE
Presidents and Traffic Managers Meet
In Chicago and Discuss situa-
ton In Secret.

Chicago-Like the old guard at
Waterloo, which could die, but could
not surrender. presidents and traffic
managers OF railroads centering In
Chicago Thursday formed in hollow
square In arms against a sea OF
troubles.
E. p. Ripley, president of the Atchi
son, Topeka & Santa Fe system.
took the initiative in calling the meet
ing. 1t was held to discuss a defense
against the assault OF the government
on the recently enjoined advance in
freight rates in western trunk line
territory.
They decided to go TO Washington
for a conference with the president.
who has agreed to hear them.
The meeting was secret. so far as
its proceedings were concerned. 1t
Is known, however, that the presi-
dents are agreed that any action
taken must be concerted.
f. A. Delano. president OF the Wa
bash railroad. voiced the general SEN
timent, as did President Ripley of the
Santa Fe. in stating that the public
has been misled as to the true rate
situation. and that success OF the at
tempt to Illustrate an advance in
rates spells ruin to the railways.
While this meeting was in progress
Secretary Glenn of the Illinois Manu-
facturers' association continued to
appeal to their congressional repre-
sentatives to combat the new ad-
vances scheduled by eastern roads.

CAN PASS ORDINANCES.
City Councils. However, Must Not
Conflict with General Laws.

Frankfort, Ky.-Under the provi-
sions of Section 3637 of the Kentucky
statutes councils of fifth and sixth
class cities have the authority to pass
ordinances not in conflict with the
general laws. This decision was
made by the court of appeals in the
case of the commonwealth against
the Illinois Central railroad, affirming
the judgment Of the Ballard circuit
court. The railroad company had
been indicted for obstructing the
streets in Wickliffe by building a
track across them, but the railroad
company claimed that the track had
been constructed under an ordinance
and the case tested the right of the
city council to pass such an ordinance.
Fifth and sixth class cities were left
out of the general statutes enacted
under Section 156 of the constitution.

ILLINOIS COAL WAR IS ON
MINE GUARDS ARE OUT; INDUS.
TRY IN PERIL.
Battle Begins When striks Leaders
Order Engineers and Puhpmen
TO Quit Their Work.

Chicago. War which threatens
the life of the coal industry in ILL
nois was declared between the oper.
ators and miners Thursday.
Refusing the terms accepted by the
miners in other states, leaders of the
Illinois strike ordered out engineers
and pumpmen who had been left at
work to guard against destruction of
property during the suspension.
Millions of dollars are involved in
the latest strike order, as many OF the
properties are known as wet" mines,
and they will be irretrieyably dam
aged unless the pumps are kept run
ming The dry mines also will be
greatly damaged when the supply Of
fresh air is shut off,
In fact of the warlike move of the
miners the operators decided to stand
firm, and their position was Endorsed
at a special meeting of the Illinois
Manufacturers association held at the
Hotel LaSalle. Though the suspen-
sion is costing the manufacturers In
Illinois at the rate of $2O,00O,000 a
year extra for fuel, they decided unan-
imously to stand by the operators to
the last ditch in the struggle.
Federal Intervention may be asked
by the manufacturers, and 1t was init
mated that President Taft may be
urged to do as President Roosevelt
did in the anthracite coal strike in
1902. when he forced the operators
and miners to submit to arbitration.

WHAT IS GOING ON IN
DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF
THE COMMONWEALTH.
CLEWS ON FINANCE.

Lexington, Ky.-Henry Clews, who
delivered an address at the University
of Kentucky commencement and also
addressed the bankers of the Seventh
Congressional district at their meet
ing at the Country club, said in the
course of an interview on financial
conditions:
During the past year our trade bal
ance with foreign nations has been
largely reduced, our imports making
an enormous increase as compared
with our exports, and as a result much
gold has had to be exported. With
greater crops more can be exported,
hence more money will be kept at
home to the benefit OF the country at
large.
Wheat during the past year was
too high for export, foreign markets
looking elsewhere for their supplies,
and the price of cotton was such that
foreign buyers took only in small
quantities, as they we're compelled TO
have it. Larger crops will allow us
to resume exporting and regain our
trade balance.
"The high prices, too, are somewhat
due to the farmer, who for tie past
year has been in a position where he
could hold crops for high prices, and
has held them.
supply and demand is the law gov
erning the situation, and our supply
has been short, but the outlook at
present is for an increased supply,
with an improved business situation"

FOREIGNERS ARE IN DANGER
City Of Marking Placsrded With
Posters melting Natives to
Murder and Riot.

Washipgton.-The resurrected Box
ers of China are again hawking for the
blood of the foreign devils"
The outbreak at Marking is such as
to demand the immediate attention of
the state department, the navy, and
perhaps a part of the army from the
Philippines.
Minister Calhoun has made a good
record at the state department by his
alertness in this emergency. He
cablcd promptly some weeks ago dis
turbing news he got by way of Can
ton. Mr.. Calhoun did not wait for au-
thorizatlon but exercised his discre-
tion to ask the commander of the
Asiatic squadron to send a vessel to
Chinese waters. The New Orleans is
now at Marking
Minister Calhoun has advised the
state department again of the serious
ness of the circumstances. II is mani
fest from what he sends that the in
suits OF the new Boxers of China are
intended conspicuously for the people
of the United States. This is demon
strated by the unprintable things done
against the United States consulate
at Marking by the Chinese who are
bowling for the blood of the foreign
devils"
In his cablegram Minister Calhoun
says that the city of Marking has
been placarded with posters melting
the people to slaughter the foreigners
and destroy their property, in conse-
quence of which, considerable nerv-
BUSINESS is felt.

HAL6NTY Or hzDJ -

-V HE Union Pacific railroad has
discovered a new use for billy
goats and every day at half a
hundred stock feeding stations
on the line OF the big railroad
system, solemn goats with long
white boards act the part OF Judas.
Turing unsuspecting sheep to their
doom. Little did the grave members
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion think when they made a ruling
that live stock en- route from the great
western ranges TO the packing houses
along the Missouri river. should not
be kept aboard railroad trains for
more than 2S consecutive hours. but
that, ut the expiration OF that period.
the animals should be taken from the
cars and given water and provender
that the ruling would be responsible
for the creation OF a band OF goats
trained to ingratiate themselves into
the confidence OF innocent little lambs,
matronly ewes and stately rams and
bring these down 90 their death.
But such is the case. And the Union
Pacific railroad has a flock OF goats.
each individual member OF which
can do better work along the
lines for which II Is trained than half
a dozen men could do In twice the
time.
When the 2S-hour law went into
effect the Union Pacific railroad found
IL necessary 10 build big feeding yards
at numerous points along its line--in
fact, these yards we're installed about
every 25 miles from end TO end OF the
big system. During the shipping sea
son that railroad brings hundreds OF
thousands OF sheep from the great
ranges OF Wyoming. Colorado, Utah.
Idaho. Oregon. Montana. California
and the southwestern states to the
packing houses at Omaha. Under the
new law II was necessary that these
sheep be unloaded. fed and watered.
and then reloaded every 2S hours.
Those men who have ever attempt
ed 10 drive sheep will remember how
dinicult the task is. especially to get
the animals headed in the right direc-
ton. "As timid as sheep" Is a
proverb. and its truth is proven every
day and every hour wherever sheep
are handled.
II the sheep are in the stock cars
Il Is q big Job TO get them out. Efforts
OF the attendants 10 get them TO leave
the cars usually result in the whole
bunch crowding up in one end and re-
fusing to go out the door. Sometimes
II was even necessary that each indi-
vidual sheep be actually lifted up and
taken from the car.
And sometimes this 2S-hour limit
expired In the dead of night when the
sheep we're all lying asleep on the
floor OF the car. At such times II was
almost impossible to unload except by
the hand" method. At times half an
hour was consumed In unloading sim
gle car.
After the sheep were fed and wa
tered came the reloading. and again
there was trouble, almost as much as
when unloading.
The railroad found It necessary to
maintain a large force of men AT
each feeding station, II being found
more economic to do this than TO
spend hours and hours loading and
unloading a train. This cost money
and lots OF II, but there seemed no
means OF avoiding the expense. There
stood the United States courts ready
to infiict a 500 fine every time a car
of sheep was not fed and watered
every 2S hours. Employing the men
was cheaper than fines.
