IMPROVEMENT |S
 CONSERVATIVE Dun and Bradstreet Make Weekly Report RAIL SALES ARE SMALL Pig Iron Trade More Active in East. New Iron and Steel Orders
 Held in Check by Price
 Uncertainty
RAIL SALES ARE SMALL

New York, September B.-R. e. Dun E. co.'s weakly review of trade says.
 The trade situation maintains in gen. eral the conservative improvement noted although there is much diversity in the reports from the different sec tions and different lines. New orders in iron and steel are apparently held In check by continued uncertainty as to prices and competition for business Is becoming more pronounced.
 Price cutting is in general prospect In the steel bar trade, some very low quotations prevailing and in tin plates, sheets. wire products ana merchant pips weakness has been sympathetic. The feature of the situation is provided by the structural division in which the numerous contracts for substantial amounts of material are still being placed, although prospects for the win ter are not considered encouraging.
 There is a further shrinkage in the demand from the railroads, rail sales being small and unless steel cars arc bought more freely 1t Is expected plate mills will reduce their schedules.
 At the east the pig iron trade is actlVe. The uHlliSu ON the leading interest at the end of Au- gust was the largest since July, 1910, but the recent heavy demand has not been maintained.
 Cotton goods are in process of divi- sional revision and there is still ten dency at retail points to restrict pur- chases in staple domestics to actual re- uuirements Mills are resuming more but continue to operate close to limited orders.
 Competition in fine combed yarn cloths is more pronounced than for years, but the advance demand Tor printed goods has likewise been very satisfactory on certain lines. Export trade in miscellaneous small lots con tinues steady. There is larger busi- ness moving in the garment division.
 An improved jobbing trade is noted in silk piece goods and in ribbons.
 Buyers of footwear are perplexed re- garding styles and conservatism Is con sequently displayed in all transactions. Leather is in moderate demand. Sales of packer hides are considerably be- low the active trading of the previous week. but this Is natural as many tan ners have provided for their immediate requirements. Prices are being maln- tained.

REBEL RIVALRY
 IN MEXICAN WAR
EXPLANATION IS MADE OF THE REAL TROUBLE BETWEEN THE gNsuRREcTo GENERALS oRoZ- co AND BLANcO

Mexico City, February 10.-The. Mexlcan Central railroad has been repaired as far north as Ahumada S5 miles below Ciu- dad Juarez, according to telegrams re- ceived by officials of the railroad to- day The work is being pushed and with ing a few days 1t is expected that train service can be resumed to the border. At present passenger trains are running only as far north as Moctezuma.
 Confirmation of the jealousy and riv- airy said to exist between Blanco and olutionists' ranks. Is contained in dis patches from Ell Paso, quoting one l.. F. Espinosa, who was said to have passed several weeks in the rebel camps.
 Blanco is ambitious to be the leader of the revolution, it is stated, and both he and Orozco are anxious to pose as the head of the new republic they hope to cs- tablish. Espinosa is quoted as saying that among Blanco's men 1t Is openly stated that Blanco himself would like to make himself military president of the republic. He is of the true revolution ary type.
 He is a law unto himself and ac- knowledging no one. least of all Fran cisco l. Madero For this reason Es- pionosa asserts, it seems impossible at the present time at least for Blanco and Orozco to make a union of their forces for an. attack upon Juarez or any other point of anyi strength. As additional evidence of frittion between the leaders, the same dispatches quote the text of a letter said to have borne the signature of Pasqual Orozco, Jr., which was found recently in the pock- ct of a dead revolutionist by General Navarro. The letter was addressed to Francisco Salido. one of the rebel leaders It fololws: Last night I ar rived at this place (Cerro Prieto), ac- companied by 125 followers, well armed, to lend you such little service as we are able Of the leaders. J. l.. Balnco. Jose Y. Roscon Lena and Man uel T. Gonzales. I would inform you as follows: Blanco went off in the di- rection of Temosachic, disobeying my orders. We saw Lena in Rosario and had some very disagreeable words with him. But we should not feel demor- alized on this account"

LORIMER'S FATE
 IN THE BALANCE
aENATOR CULLOM WILL BE THE ONE TO DECIDE WHETHER HIS COLLEAGUE WILL RETAIN HIS SEAT IN THE SENATE

Washington, February 10.-Whether the Senate permits Senator Lorimer of Illi- nois to retain his seat depends largely upon the attitude of his colleague, Sem ator Cullom, when the case comes up for a vote. This was made clear today when two senators who had not deter mined their own course in the case en- deavored to learn how the senior Illinois senator intended to vote.
 If these senators succeeded in learning Senator Culloms views they were the first to get any expression from him. He has refrained from discussion of the case, although he has listened to most of the speeches for and against MT. Lorimer. He has taken no part in the debate ex- cept for a brief answer to recent comment made by Senator Bailey. that the case of Cullom was the case of Lorimer."
 That effort did not extend to the merits of the charges against Senator Lorimer.
 Notwithstanding MT. Cullom's silence, q report was current on the floor of the Senate today that he intended to vote in declaring the election of MT. Lorimer to have been corrupt. MT. Culom said he had not authorized such a statement but neither would he dignify it with denial.
 Supporters of MT. Lorimer's cause, Tn commenting upon the situation, said if MT Cullom, whose name appears high in the roll of the Senate. should cast his vote for a resolution declaring MT Lorimer's election invalid, this action un- occasionally would work to MT. Lorimer' S detriment in what already is conceded to be a close contest
