DUNN'S TRADE REVIEW.
GOOD CROP CONDITIONS ADD
CONFIDENCE.
Speculation Is Dull and This Accounts
Largely for the Decrease In Bank
Clearnings Noted During the Week.

New York, May 9.-Dun's review
tomorrow will say:
In spite of some curtailment of or
ders for merchandise affected by
pending tariff changes, the unusually
favorable crop conditions have re-
suited in marked increase of con-
fdence throughout the West and
South. The passage Of the tariff bill
by the house of representatives brings
the end of this element of uncertainty
measureably nearer Meanwhile, it is
most encouraging fact that reports
from 5S cities show gain in build
ing activity for April of l per cent as
compared with the same month in
1912, a heavy decrease at New York
city being more than offset by gains
elsewhere, particularly at Chicago
and at most points in the West and
on the Pacific slope. Production of
iron and steel continues to be close
to capacity. In textile lines warmer
and more settled weather has greatly
improved the volume of retail trade
although merchants are still conserva.
tive in placing filling-in orders. There
Is q moderate gain in the shoe trade
and as stocks are generally low, it is
easier for statesmen to obtain orders
There is somewhat better outlook for
leather but hides continued easy.
"All speculative markets are dull
and this fact accounts largely for the
decrease in bank exchanges from last
year, which. however is comparatively
small, amounting to only or per cent.
this week. Recovery from Western
flood effects is now fairly complete.
Railroad earnings in April increased
81 per cent over last year. Financial
sentiment in the East is less cheerful
than mercantile sentiment in the
West, but money locally continues
easy. in spite of renewed gold exports
to Paris. In addition to the fines how
ing for winter wheat made in the gov
ernment report this week, the outlook
for cotton Is also encouraging. Though
there have been some reports Of de-
fcient rainfall in the eastern section
of the belt. The foreign commerce at
the port of New York during the
recent week amounted to $33,4SS,SS3
against s32.144,59s last year.
Less strain is now being felt by
iron and steel plants and the relief
from congested business has made
more prompt deliveries possible.
THE recent rise in temperature eff
fected a marked Improvement in the
dry goods trade, stimulating the de.
mand in many lines

CURRENCY REFORM NEXT.
PRESIDENT HOPES THIS CON-
GRESS WILL PASS BILL.
Number of Influential Democrats
Think Subject Should Wait Until
Hearings are Held.

Washington, May S.-President
Wilson was SO encouraged by the pas
sage today of the tariff bill in the
house that he hopes now FOR final ac-
ton on currency reform during the
present session of congress- He had
conferred during the day with Rep
resentatives Underwood and Palmer,
chairman Of the house caucus, outlin-
ing to them the hope that his cur
rency legislation might be taken up
carly in June. The president studied
a preliminary draft of a G." oy bill
brought him by Represer Glass,
probable chairman of tt ; e bank
ing and currency com and told
his callers that in = iterval he
tween now and Juy = expected to
confer with as m, = .rency author
tiles as possible
"hlie tho ut is anxious for
currency ref dring the present
session, h zes that everything
depends Sress Of the tariff bill
in the senat> He thinks that if that
is disposed of before the hot summer
weather sets in. action on a currency
bill might be possible in quick time,
provided Democratic leaders can come
10 an agreement on a measure.
Several influential Democrats in the
senate, however, including some mem
bers of banking and currency commit
tee, are opposed to any action during
the present session and propose extern
sive hearings. They are all agreed
that banking reforms should be the
first work of the December session
and it is not at all unlikely that Pres
ident Wilson may be persuaded not to
insist on currency legislation. He .s
known not to desire the session of
congress to extend beyond the middle
of August and the general expecta-
ton among senators tonight was that
a finai vote on the tariff bill would not
be taken before August 1.

URGED NOT TO SIGN ALIEN BILL.
Federal Governments Final Effort
to Delay California Legislation.

Washington, May 1.-THE Federal
Governments final effort to delay alien
lland-owning legislation in California
was made tonight when Secretary
Bryan, in the name of President Will
son, telegra phed Governor johnson
notifying him that the Japanese am
bassador had earnestly protested
against the bill passed by the Cali
fornia Assembly and urging that the
Governor postpone action by with
holding his signature.
Secretary Bryan's telegram, which
was framed after a conference with
the President yesterday, was Dispatch
ed tonight and made public at the
White House a few minutes later. 1t
vas as follows:
The President directs me to ex-
press his appreciation of your courte-
Sy in delaying action on the land bill
now before you until its provisions
could be communicated to the Japan
ese Government and considered by it,
His EXcellency Baron Chinda, has
on behalf of his government, presented
an earnest protest against the meas
ure. As YOU have before You but
two alternatives, viz to approve or
to veto it will avail nothing to recall
TO your attention the amendments
suggested to the Legislature, and as
the President has already laid before
YOU his views on the subject, il is un-
necessary to reiterate them. He pass
es over questions affecting treaty
rights for two reasons, first, because
the bill passed by the Legislature is
aVowedly intended TO conform To
treaty obligations. and, second, be-
cause any conflict complained OF
would be matter for the courts. but
the President feels justified in ex-
pressing again his desire for this rea-
son, and he expresses the desire the
more freely because the Legislature
can he recOnvcncd at any time if the
welfare of the state requires il. He
is fully alive To the importance Of re-
moving any root of discord which
may create antagonism between
American citizens and the subjects of
Oriental nations residing here. but he
is impcllcd by a sense of duty to OK
press the hope that you will see fit
To allow time for diplomatic effort
Tn" nations affected by the proposed
law are friendly nations-nations that
have shown themselves willing 10 co.
operate in the establishment of har-
monlouS relations between their peo-
pie and ours
If postpOroment commends il
sell To your judgment the President
VIII he pleased to cooperate in a sys-
tematic effort To discover and correct
any evils that may exist in conncc-
ton with Iandownership BY Aliens"

VAMPIRE FILM STRIKES
 SLRGEHAMMER BLOW
Kipiing's Poem and Burne Jones' Vampire Picture Move Before
 Audience at Empress

"A fool there was and he made his prayer" These words from Kip ing's famous poem, "The Vampire taken with Burefi Jones' famous re- presentation of the idea in his paint ing of that name, flash into mind W ith startling suddenness as one sits and watches the moving picture, The Vampire Dance" flash by on the screen at the Empress theater. If ever there was a more powerful ser mon delineated than that portrayed in the cold -blooded wrecking of the life of the fool as shown by this
 special film it has never been pre-
 sented to Phoenix audiences.
 The pictures are all this, in addi-
 tiOn to being of a highly artistic na
 ture. They abound in that strength of
 detail so common with the French
 portrayals they contain the realistic clement that makes many French novels almost overwhelming in their
 sledgelike blows upon the intellect.
 The spectacle of a man taking poison
 fer the love of woman. whose af- lection is wasted upon another, and then while the poison is taking it's effect finish out the dance which he is under contract to present with her. W only of the artistic effect she is making upon the audience: and in the meanwhile the vast audience watching. thinking that the cOncep- tion is so true as to be little short 0f wonderful, little imagining that a real drama is being unravelled be- fore their eyes. and then to see the effect of the realization of the death upon the audience. is one of the tri umphs of the moving picture art as well as a lesson never to be for gotten.
 The story is simple. A dancer en- gagged for "The Vampire Dance" ad- vertises for a partner and finally 1 selects the young man. He falls in l love with her during the rehearsals. dresses his suit unsuccessfully all 1 though she encourages him enough to keep him working. However the
 sight of her kissing her real lover
 maddens him and he purchases poi 1 son. This he takes just before they make their first appearance for the dance. The poison takes effect while | her. and the curtain goes down be-
 fore wild audience and hides from view his Iifeless body The realiza- ticn of the audience and the woman
 comes during the curtain calls which
 fellow the act, and pandemonium | reigns. The expression of the faces | of the audience is remarkable. but al | that the picture seems to be little
 short of a nightmare. It will run 1 the rest of the week

DOUBLE DIPPING LAW
 SOON ID BE VACATED
Quarentined Cattle Will be Admitted With But One Dipping. 15oo
 Cattle Waiting Decision.

According to reports from the office of the state live stock sanitary board yesterday, the double dip required by the present quarentine regulations will be abandoned in the near future. When this order was made by the commission requiring that all cattle brought over the border be dipped twice, 1t was thought necessary to protect the cattle men of this state from the diseases prevalent in the Mexican cattle.
 However, it has been found that the present requirements are too burden some on the stockmen of the state, and that they are quite useless insofar as the prevention of the importation of animal disease is concerned. The reg ulatiOns will therefore be dismissed, and one dipping only will be required in the future.
 At the present time there are some 5000 head of cattle being held on the Mexican side of the line awaiting the vacation of the old regulations and the admission of singly dipped cattle.

This picture is in one reel and the photography is especially good "A Bore at Sixteen-A Cactus at Sixty is the peculiar title of the comedy made by the Frontier company and concludes the program. Every one who visits the Lion at the night shows are loud in their praises of the music. It is good and certainly goes nicely with the pictures.
