Interurban. and 2.cent Fare.

Interurban companies are not in
clined to look with extreme anxiety
on the bill for a straight 2-cent-a-milt
passenger rate introduced into the
state legislature last week.
AS Ohio interurban companies now
operate, broadly speaking, at cents
a mile, the bill, If it became law, would
lower the fare only in the extremely
short harls. At present the fare be-
tween points not far distant from each
other is sometimes more than . cents
mile, the rate being less than 2
cents mile between other points.
The fare differences begin at desig-
mated stops. The proposed law. Of
which Representative Harmon OF
Ashtabula is the author, requires that
the distance Travelled shall be meas
ured between the points where the
passenger entered and left the car in
stead of between stops.
The minimum fare is fixed at 5
cents, but companies may issue books
of tickets at less than that amount.
The bill, if it became law, would
mean complete realignment Of stops,
for one thing.

EXPORTS BRIGHTEN
Weather Conditions Still Continue to
Have Effect on the Trade
Conditions.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'S Week
ly Review of Trade said:
While domestic trade moves slug
gishly export trade continues to ex-
pand, and the increase in the amount
of manufactured articles sold abroad is
very gratifying. Commercial activity
abroad is most noticeable and is
promise of improvement on this side
of the Atlantic as soon as present I'M
certainties pass. Another contrast is
to be seen in the essential sound fund
amental conditions such as abundance
of money and comparative baroness of
stocks on the shelves on the one hand,
and the curtailment of production, the
inactivity in distribution and the Yir.
tual stagnation in speculation on the
other.
Among the Metals.
Interest in iron and steel centers
largely on the recent reduction in
price of ore. The lowering of quota
tions so cents a ton was not unexpect-
ed, but the change has not been fol-
lowed by any larger inquiry for pig
iron, and buying is delayed, awaiting
further developments. Some of the
merchant furnaces have sufficient ore
on hand to last them for several
months to come, and while few addi.
tional stacks have been blown in 9th
eVs are going cut.
Cotton Is Slow.
| Cotton goods have not responded
much to the sharp advance in the
staple, yet the markets are generally
steadier. Restriction in proportion
has reached the high water mark for
the year thus far, and manufacturers
are not looking for permanent reliei
until new and larger crop of cotton
comes to hand. Exports of cotton
goods are substantially ahead of g
year ago.
Shoes and Leather.
Conditions in footwear are improved
and business shows fair volume. Job
bers still display considerable conserv
atisn, however, and orders generally
are confined to quantities sufficient tC
meet current needs. Shoe feathers are
slow. Upper stock is quiet, the calf
skins are selling better. Continued
dullness rules in the hide markets,

The Weather,

New York.-Bradstreet's letter said:
The features of the week have been
slight stimulation Of retail trade by
warm, bright weather North, West and
East, good progress in the planting
and growth of leading cereal crops and
satisfactory developments as regards
the outlook for leading fruit crops. The
greater activity in retail trade in turn
is reflected in a little better business
by jobbers, but on the other hand un'
seasonably wet and cool weather has
checked farming operations at the
South, and also made for quiet in trade.
