THE U REPORT.

New York, March pr. c. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade today
says:
The tendency n the industries and
trades is toward Il broader distribu-
ton. The increased activity is in
spite Of the slow breaking up of a
winter of unusual severity. of pend
ing controversies abroad and at home.
including. as they do. the still unset
tied coal strike in England and the
disagreement between coal operators
and miners in this country.
Business in West Improved.
Other labor troubles, however, are
less disturbing. The Lawrence strike
ia virtually over. while advances of
wages of five to ten per cen in the
cotton goods trade indicate the bet
terment in that direction. 1t is signi-
fcant that the reports from the west
now reflect the improved business sem
that weather conditions are still gen.
orally unfavorable for distribution Of
merchandise.
Iron and Steel Firmcr.
Efforts to advance prices of iron
and steel are meeting with some sue
cess. Pig iron is slight" firmer and
there is some strengthening in steel
proach of spring and the resumption
of building. structural material is
more active and %fabricating shops are
fairly busy.
Prospective business foots up to
owe 100000 and the eerction Of the
new terminal at Detroit will call for Il
large tonnage. The steel car plants
could handle more business and rail
road orders are still disappointing.
B%esscner pie iron Is firmer. Demand
for ii nplates has broadened moder-
ate!y. but sheets are shaded and new
business is much less than capacity.
Dry Goods Itemized.
The dry goods markets continue
very firm. and with a broadening
trade prices generally display an ad-
vancing tendency. Prints and print
dard prints are to be advanced to five
cents per yard, while regular print
cloths are now quoted at 3 ga cents.
Ginghams are in brisk request and
some lines Of these and Of Canton
lannels are held at value on future
delivery. In woollens some of the
best selling lines are being eagerly

some lines Of mems fall wear have
been mad by certain factors and one
large producer has advanced all Of
its staple and semi-staple worsteds

orders and jobbers are doing a better
house trade. Cotton yarns are very
firm. There Is a moderate business

Dry Goods Continue.
Dry goods and coal remain in the
forefront as regards activity. In the
dry goods line advances on several
kinds Of goods have been made by
the mills and in view of the fact that
stocks are light, that labor demands
higher wages and that production is
still under normal, merchants recog-
nize that if they van goods they
must not delay in placing orders at
values satisfactory TO the mills.
Leather Will Advance.
Leather is not especially active, but
prospects bearing on the future are
good and prices are expected to add

FRONTIER OF PRESIDENTIAL PssslBIBLT1y.

1t is a condition and not theory
in republican politics this Eea- II i
row pretty we'll conceded that Roose-
Welt will have Tatt's state and Taft
will have Roosevelt's state in me con-
vention al Least each OF these are like
" to have a majority % the delegation
from the others state. + this is 20
then the peculiar situation will be pre-
scented Of two leading candidates for 2
presidential nomination neither OF
whom will be supported by the state
he halls from. The difference between
the two candidates in this regard seems
to be that under a preferential primary
Taft would DO likely 20 lose his own
state and that Roosevelt would prob
ably carry both New York and Ohio.
La Toilette seems to be the only
candidate who is likely to come down
with the united support of his state
delegation. Cunmins will have Iowa
with the exception OF a couple or three
districts. Under primary Cumnins
would have the state solid. The con-
test would be between him and Roose-
Welt with President Taft third.
1t will be a peculiar situation when
the convention meets, fertile of prob
able surprise and 1t would not be an
especially astonishing or unprecedented
thing should the convention turn from
New York and OHIO for its candidate
as previous convention with less ey
cuse turned from New York and Maine
to Ohio in a time Of party ezigency.
The star OF empire in politics takes is
way westward and the Wabash has

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.
ISioux City Tribune.l

lSioux City Tribune.J
BY announcing that he will remain In
the race for the presidency, La Toilette
shows his good sense. There is nothing
in the situation calling for him to
withdraw. If it was desirable that he
should become candidate on behalf
Of the progressive movement. 1t 1s
equally desirable that he remain can
didate until the convention decides.
The talk of La Follettes withdrawing
has come almost entirely from the Taft
bureau. He suffered a sort OF collapse
after a strenuous speaking tour. I'M
mediately it was announced that his
candidacy had collapsed also. There
was not the slightest warrant for this
conclusion. Mr.. La Toilette is taking
a rest and recupcTating his powers to
continue the fight for the progressive
cause.
There is no demand among the pro-
grcssives that anyone get out of the
race and leave the way clear for some
one else. II there should be but two
candidates before the national conven-
ton it would be an exception rather
than the rule. It is much better 10
have number of candidates none Of
whom will get out OF the way for an
other Let the people decide.
The rank and file of the republicans
are the ones to say who shall be their
candidate. Their voice is not as po-
tent as il would have been If Taft had
not refused to permit republicans to
Eame their choice for president direct.
but they will speak with what force
they can thru the caucus system. one
thing is certain. If a progressive is
nominated il will be because the voice
Of the people triumphs over the will
of the Tai, machine. They at least will
be permitted to express their choice
as between Roosevelt. La Toilette and
Cummins. These three candidates may
very pro perry go before the convention
and take their chances with the dele
gates.
At the last there will be no serious
quarrel among the supporters of the
progressive candidates. If there is a
deadlock IN the convention and Cum
Minis Is finally nominated. the friends
of both Roosevelt and La Toilette will
rally enthusia stically 10 his support. II
should be the same il either La Fol-
lette or Roosevelt is nominated. Taft
may win the nomination by control Of
southern delegates. bun he will not win
it by irving TO foment discord in the
progressive ranks. The Tribune be-
lieves that the principle is strong
enough within them to outweigh a per-
sonal feeling for a particular candi-
date. If it is not the progressive cause
will have to wait yet awhile for sue
cess.

THE BEST THING ABOUT II.

Scott, British explorer, has reached
the south pole. So says his chief com
petitor. Captain Asmundsen who sought
the glory of discovery for Norway and
himself.
The feat is not considered as great
as Pearys. The south pole is located
on land and the insuperable barriers Of
open water do not present themselves;
but the difficulties Of dash across
rugged and mountainous country
fenced with huge glaciers may balance
fairly well as against the stretch Of
ice fields which separated discoveries
from the north pole. Scott with eight
men and 116 dogs is credited with hav-
ing passed the barriers and located the
pole From a geograp hical and scien-
tiac point Of view the discovery is in
portant. AS concerns the average per
son it does not matter much whether
it was discovered or still lies INDICATED
in the midst OF its silent desolation.
The discovery OF the poles has cost
many lives and much expenditure. Per
haps it was worth it for the splendid
lessons of human courage and faithful
ness OF man to man which tire different
expeditions unfailingly developed.
However. II the south pole has been ac-
tually located there is an enc . polar
expeditions O. This kind and thar this
is so is one o the mos, ialpo-taG,
features OF SCOTS success.
