SLOW BUT STEADY.
Trade Is Moving Along at Satisfac-
tory Pace.

New York, March S.-Bradstreet's
says:
Trade moves along at a steady pace
though there is still enough tagging,
combined with a few setbacks to pre-
vent desirable uniformity. In the
country's leading dry goods markets
the signs indicate that jobbers in all
departments are doing more. Trade
in this quarter is steady, with requests
what in advance of the dates original
ly set.
In industrial lines preparations for
outdoor work are proceeding, but the
threat of a strike of anthracite min
ers, together with reports of unrest
among bituminouS workers, diSturbs
the situation. Features in the iron
and steel trade comprehend the re-
ceipt of more liberal specifications by
the leading producer. increased pro-
duction of pig iron and a better de-
mand for steel make of the grades in
consequence of which quotations have
improved.

States for the week ending March

HE WAS TOO GOOD.
Wife Deserts Husband Because He Did
Not Beat Her.

Oakland, Cal, March edwin
Hirsch, an Irvington merchant, has
received a decree of divorce from
Hazel Hirsch, who deserted him two
years ago unable to endure longer his
projections.
According to his testimony, Hirsch
gave his wife every luxury within his
means, placed no restraint on her
amusements and never showed jeal-
ousy. He never spoke an unkind
word and never INDUCED in liquor, to-
bacco, profanity or late hours.
Didn't she ever find any fault with
you?' asked the judge.
''Oh, yes" responded the witness,
''she frequently said she could have
loved me if only I beat her or at least
scolded her once in a while.'
