COMMERCIAL
Weekly Review Of Trade and
Market Reports.
Dun's Review says:

Dun's Review says:
Complaints are still heard of the
retarding influences of mild weather,
which restricts retail demand for sea-
sonable merchandise. Holiday trade,
however, has opened up well.
Apprehension of labor troubles at
textile centers, notably at Fall River,
has been removed, at least for the
present, but scarcity of operatives
keeps production below distribution.
An easier tendency is manifest in cot
ton goods for contract delivery, but
spot values hold steady and recent in
ventories by Western jobbing houses
indicated more prosperous conditions
than a year ago."

TO REORGAN|zE
THE DEPARTMENT
Intention of the Secretary of
Agriculture.
HOUSTONS FIRST REPORT.
Secretary Wants Authority To Study
Domestic Condtions-Fed-
eral Aid For Roads
Urged.

Washington.-Reo of the
Department of Agriculture is fore
Swallowed in Secretary Houston's first
annual report presented to President
Wilson. A plan, to be submitted to
Congress in the fiscal estimates of
1916, proposes to carry out the work
Of the department in Eve or six main
groups, such as research, State rela-
tions, rural organization, forest serv-
Ice, weather and regulation. Such a
plan, Secretary Houston believes, will
promote coordination.
Plans for redistricting the country
for the enforcement of the Pure Food
law are announced, and the Secretary
makes public his intention to ask for
authority to prepare amendments to
the Pure Food law to improve the food
supply, protect the public health and
promote uniformity in food legislation.
Free distribution of seeds by Con-
gressmen should be discontinued, the
Secretary recommends. He would
conduct in its stead a constructive
work in securing and distributing new
seeds and plants.
Financial Help For Farmers.
Conditions vary widely in the United
States, says the report, because farm
ers do not equally need better credit
arrangements, and all sections are not
similarly circumstanced 1t contends
that when all necessary allowance has
60 IL, 81 -
Is probably clear that the rural COM
munities are not as efficiently served
as they should be by existing financial
arrangements. The Secretary believes
there does not appear to be need for
unique or special legislation or for
legislation which shall aim to give the
farmer credit on easier terms than
other members of society What is
needed is the creation of conditions
and machinery which shall enable him
on similar credit foundations to secure
money at the same rates as those that
prevail for other classes and for other
sections.
Good roads are prerequisite for
better marketing, for better schools
and for more comfortable rural liv-
ing" says the Secretary. Better
sanitation and hygiene in the home, in
the school and in the community are
just as vital for the rural community
as for the urban" says the report.
Would Help the Housewife.
To gain information to enable the
department better to serve rural wom-
en- the Secretary has addressed letters
Of inquiry to the women of $4,000
selected farms covering every county.
Analysis of the letters shows that farm
women desire assistance as to ways
of securing running water, introduc-
ing household power machinery and
labor-saving arrangements and provid-
ing better hygienic and sanitary CON
ditions. Many seek advice as to the
better marketing of the articles they
produce.

J. H. TRUITT TO KEEP OFFICE.
Court OF Appeals Decides Worcester
Supervisor Case.

The Court of Appeals, by Judge
Burke, decided that John H. Truitt is
entitled to hold the Office of Super
visor of Elections of Worcester coun-
ty. The action to GUST Truitt was
brought in the lower court by Samuel
J. Price, a former member of the
board Price claimed that his term in
that Office had not expired, that he
had not resigned or been removed,
and that consequently there was no
vacancy to which Truitt was appoint
ed. In affirming the order dismissing
the petition the court held that an in
junction is an equitable remedy, and
the point is well settled that title to
an Office cannot be settled in equity.
The opinion points out that mandamus
is the proper proceeding.

The maximum weight of parcels to
