ton of workingmen injured or killed in
the performance Of their labor. He quot

PuLveR SETTLES TROUBLE.

A strike has been averted in the of
fees of the Franklin Press. Pueblo, by
the prompt action of Frank Pulver, in
ternational representative of the l. T.
u. located in Denver. 1t had been the
custom to charge 80 cents a day extra
by linotype operator when he did the
work OF machinist on his own ma
chine. The office refused to pay this
charge and strike was threatened. Or
ganizer Pulyer finally had tue manage
ment pay the money due into the hands
of the union until the matter could be
passed upon by the executive board Of
the l. t. U. Should the decision OF the
board be adverse to the demands OF the
union then the money must be re-
turned: but should the stand OF the
Pueblo union be indorsed then the
money viii be distributed to those hav-
ing worked on the situations in ques-
ton and the wage will maintain In fu-
ture- There will be no further trouble
in the office OF Franklin Press on this
score.

bles. The market as whole is ruling
steady with a satisfactory amount of
business being done.
Wheat-The market has advanced a
trifie over quotations of last week;
he'd Russian is now quoted at II
cents, and Bluestem at 80 cents.
Prices are steady at the present level
and business rather inactive. What
little shipping is going on now is
mostly to Japan. Most of the wheat
is now out of the hands of the farm
ers and prospects are that there will
be little change in conditions for some
time to come.
Feed-But very little change in con-
ditions is noted in this department
Quotations remain unchanged and
business continues normal. There
seems to be a shortage of number one
hay, out a considerable quantity OF
the poorer quality is being put on the
market.

Bradstreet's Says Trade Is Expanding
-Dun's Says No Change.

Bradstreets Review of Trade says:
Trade is expanding, visiting buyers
are increasing their purchases as the
season progresses, and in consequence
February opens auspiciously. Retail
dealers continue to press jobbers for
goods, colder weather has impaired
zest to final distribution, industrious
operations are as active as heretofore,
winter wheat is in good shape, money
is in active demand and save in a few
lines, merchants display no particular
apprehension over prospective tariff
changes.
Copper is very dull and the under
tone is weak.
Farmers are holding their coarse
grains and lower temperatures have
brought more firmnesS in prices for
foodstuffs. Soil conditions in parts of
the southwest have been improved by
recent falls of snow, but there is room
for further improvement, though the
wheat belt, as a whole, as we'll as the
crop, is in good shape.
Money is in good request and banks
continue to be liberal buyers of COM
mercial paper, the supply of which is
not abreast of demand.
Business failures for the week end
ing February were 259, which com
pares with 1923 in the like week of
1912. There were Al failures in Can.
ada.
Wheat, including flour, exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending February 6 aggregate
3,s59,752 bushels, against 3,s16.45S this
week last year.
Dun's Review says: No important
change has taken place in the bust
ness situation during the last week
The leading industries and trades are
still prosperous and the undercurren
of conservatism that exists in some
quarters has not retarded to any meas
urable extent the seady broadening O
industrial and mercantile activity
The Balkan situation has caused som,
financial strain abroad and part of tn,
heavy European gold requirement
have been shifted to this side. This
in connection with the demands oC
, casioned by our increasing domesti
) trade, has impaired a slightly firme
tone to the market.
The open winter, while somewha
unfavorable to retail trade, has al
forded a stimulus to various branche

western, $7Q9.25.
Wheat-The sharp slump in the
prices OF wheat has been the occasion
for surprise among holders who re-
fused to sell on the recent bulge.
Growers who sold readily at the first
up-turn of the market became 1mDued
with the belief that a SUSTAINED and
appreciable advance was in prospect,
and withheld offerings around the
top, but this did not prevent a de-
cided reaction, once the support i'm
parted by the entry OF the mills for
acquiring stocks for the last half of
the season had been withdrawn. Dur
ing the week prices have gone off
4c for Bluestem, which is quoting
down to 94c, with club at 85c, and
there is practically no business of mo-
ment in progress or prospect. The
subsistence of the demands for export
flour, together with the fact that man
ufacturers are now practically up to
their warehouse space in holdings of
wheat, renders it probable that there
will be little call from the millers for
a considerable period, and beyond the
dribbling business passing all the time
for California, there are transactions
of consequence. Europe has been a
minus factor for a considerable period
and Japan is now able to satisfy its
wants more economically from Aus
tralia than from this country.
With the subsistence in purchases
there is a falling off in receipts al
tidewater, the aggregate coming to
hand locally for the week amounting
since the first of the month, being rep
resentative, however, at 80 cars, with
January receipts totalling 73s cars.
Flour-The situation on export &C
count has quoted down to marked
degree. With the advance in quota
tons incident to the higher prices fol
wheat, Washington millers have beer
forced into competition with cheaper
flour from Australia, and are booking
very little new business. though mos
manufacturers have orders on hand tt
keep them employed for some time tt
come. Regular export quotations ar
1915 less 2, while patents are holding
steady.
Feed-There has been no change
during the week in the market TO
feedstuffs. Hay is ruling comparative
1y firm at former figures. Oats main
tain the advance to $2S@29, with bal
ley at $24@25. Feed wheat is easier
but has shown no reaction from So
