Reports Of trade conditions are some

still prevails in the finished branches OF
iron and steel, the dullness In pig iron
Is becoming more pronounced.
Many buyers are In the dry goods
market, but their operations are gener-
ally conservative, although steady.
Jobbers are doing almost an average
seasons trade, but have fallen short
Of expectations Of great activity. Large
corporations are seeking q dull busi-,
ness n have made close prices with
that end In view. The hoe market is al
waiting one. Since the departure Of
buyers from the Boston market new
contracts have been %infrequent al
though manufacturers look for larger
orders at any time. The market on all
varieties Of domestic hides Is very dull.

WAGNER BOND ELECTION
RESULTS IN TIE VOTE

Wagner, s.. d., Feb. 16.-At the spe-
cial bond election held In the city OF
Wagner to vote upon the question Of
issuing $4,000 bonds to put in addi-
tiona sewerage in the city, the result
of the election was a tie vote, there
being an equal number Of votes cast for
and against the proposition. This re-
suit was not because the people Of the
city were generally opposed to the
sewerage, but was largely owing to the
misunderstanding among taxpayers rel
ative to the tax to be entered for the
sewer, and also a misunderstanding
among them as to where the sewerage
should run and o 1t should be con-
structed, the people seeming to feel
that they wanted to fully understand
what the city council proposed to do
before they authorized the expenditure
of this amount Of money The mayor
and city council are all in favor Of the
proposed sewer system n feel that
the city needs it. and they have en-
gagged the services OF a competent en-
gipeer to make plans and specifica-
tons for laying out the proposed sewer.
