To the Honorable the Common Council:
Gentlemen Your Committee on
Franchises, to whom was referred the
petition OF J. w. Alexander ct al.
relative to car service West JEFF
ferson avenue. respectfully report that
petitioners are complaining OF the
service given on West Jefferson, west
OF Mecca street: we have listened TO
their complaints and are satisfied that
petitioners have no reason TO register
objections to said service. IL seems
that the ID. ". r. previous to the in
stallation OF said "Y" turned their
cars on loop situate on West Jeffer-
son avenue adjoining River Rouge;
that they have been unable TO come to
any satisfactory arrangement with
the owners OF the property for the
continuance OF said loop except by the
exaction OF an unreasonable rental
vate property. and in view OF the in
ability OF the company to come 10 a
satisfactory agreement, permission
was obtained from the Common Coun-
ell TO construct a ~" at Mecca street
which Is but a short distance from the
old loop. and your COMMITTEES being
satisfied that no particular inconven-
fence or hardship IL placed upon the
public In that locality. recommend that
the prayer OF petitioners be denied.

Dull Outlook Reported in
Backward Season.
Trading Restricted by Uncer-
tainty in The Wholesale Lines.
Iron and Steel Demand Recedes

New York, April 2l-BTadstrccts $
state of Trade tomorrow will say:
Trading and industry are quiet to
dull, reports varying With sections and
lines reporting. For this. weather. crop
and tariff uncertainties are held va
rouSly responsible. The season as Il
whole has been cold and backward,
with 100 much ram in several sections.
notably parts Of the West. the South
and East. This las restricted retail
trade which rs Il whole is disappont-
ing for this season of the year. In
wholesale lines, price uncertainties and
the pending tariff discussions tend to
restrict future trade. There is also a
rather widespread complaint as To
slow collections. There is nothing rad
ically wrong with tie agricultural out
look, but warm growing Weather is
needed for crops generally, especially
in the South and East.
Industry is quiet, waiting upon de-
mand, which is cautious to the limit OF
conservatism. Dulnoss in trade and
speculation is reflected in large sup
Plies and low rates for money. Com
modify prices show a tendency to
steady, though Canadian reciprocity
tends to unsettle trade in farm pro-
duce. Thus hay and potatoes are high
er on the other hand, eggs and but
ter are low.
Trade in iron and steel is quieter, and
demand for pig iron as Well as finished
material has receded. Building is ir-
regularly active. Export trade is quiet
in farm products. but good in manu-
features.
