STEEL PRICES ADVANCE
Dun's Report Says Demand Has
Dropped Off, But Cost
Jumps.

New York, May 24.---Dun's wsek-
ly review of trade, tomrrow, wiz
say:
THE volume of business con-
tinues to expand as is evident by the
statistics of bank clearings and rail-
road earnings. The situation dur
ing the past week has been inn
proved by the much better weather,
which has served to increase the re-
tail and, to some extent, the whole
sale distribution in merchandise,
There has been some lull in new
demand for iron and steel, but a
considerable tonnage is in prospect
and price advances are made more
easily. In many lines production is
now on a heavy scale, the larger
plants operating to capacity and or
ders booked will keep the mills busy
for several months to come,
Specification indicate that the
bulk of material is going into con-
sumption because a scarcity is de-
veloping in basic materials. Buying
on the part of the railroads tends to
make up for reduced requirements
in other directions
"Fine cotton goods are getting at
first hand and the upward tendency
in staple cottons is not SO much. Ad-
vance of all business continues in
better volume than year ago and,
while export trade is not so active,
shipments continue larger for the
year to date and 1871 600 bales of do
mestics are boing sent out through
the port of New York as against
|121,000 bales during the corre-
spending period a year ago.
"Of 10000 pieces of print cloth
sold at Fall river, last week. about
one-half were for spot delivery.
Dress goods of a staple character are
selling well. Broad silk trade ia
generally quiet, but ribbons appear
to be growing in demand. Worsted
yarns are in fair request and the
cotton yarns spinners appear more
willing to name prices closer 10

THREE-FOURTHs VERDICT

Ohio has decided to amend her constitution so the verdict of three fourths of the jurors in case will be decisive. Following the ex- ample of newer western states, the buckeye es have taken this ad- vance step.
 North Dakotans have discussed it from time to time but no deh- mite action has ever been taken on the matter. Instead of defeat ing iustice-the plan will aid it. Nine men are certainly more likely to be right than three. If the evidence is of nature to convince nine of the twelve jurors it must be sufficiently conclusive basis for a verdict. The three -fourths proposition will prevent some stubborn, bull headed man from tying up the jury for hours-or from bringing in a disagreement. It will prevent the numerous cases of retrials and expedite court business to an extent that may prevent some of the criticism now made on the courts and their methods -Ex.

AN "ALL-AROUND" MAN

The following keen and cutting piece of satire is from the edito- rial columns of the Kansas City Journal, one of the staunchest of the staunch supporters of Presi- dent Tatt:
 An exchange speaks of Roose- welt as an all-around' man. He is and always has been an all- around man. He can drink with the drinkers, cuss with the cussers and then go into pulpits a n d preach with the preachers. When he was president he was both the executive and the legislative de- partments, and he tried hard to be the judicial. While he was in power his boots were licked by Catholic and Protestant, Jew and Gentle, republican, democrat, pro hibitionist and socialist, protec- tionist and free trader, Hartman and Gompers, lover of peace and lover of war.
 While he was police commis- sioner he violently enforced the Sunday-closing law, and at the same time as violently advocated the repeal of the very law he enforced.
 Saved at San Juan Hill from destruction and even disgrace by the intrepid charge of a regiment of negroes, he repaid the debt and incidentally made himself solid in certain parts of the south by drumming out of the army in dis grace whole battalion of inno- cent blacks because he couldn't get the names of half dozen men who were said to have shot up Brownsville.
 He lauds the kind, gentle and patriot Lincoln, yet he had tele- graph operator in the south dis charged for not honoring his telegraph frank which he had left in Washington; he repealed hall the civil service regulations in order to fire an humble Kansan for driving a delivery wagon past the royal equippage in Washington; he drove a I4-year-old girl home in mysteries from a public park in the capital city when she was riding horseback, because he thought she was following him.
 Roosevelt was a tariff reformer till he became president; but during his two terms of office he managed, by skillfully exploiting other issues, to avoid the tariff issue year after year. When he saw that the tariff must come to a vote soon, he declined a third term and threw Taft into the breach. Now that the tariff furry is over, he seeks to come back into power on the recall of judges and judicial decisions. He made a radical, violent, revolutionary speech in Kansas a year and a half ago, and within two weeks traded every principle he had enunciated for the chairmanship of the New York state convention,
 Nobody ever pounded Bryan harder than Roosevelt did. Yet Roosevelt has stolen every politi. cal dud that Bryan ever wore, ex. cept those reduced to absolute tatters by the march of events.
 No politician and office holder was ever more mistreated by an other politician and office holder
