DUNN'S WEEKLY
TRADE REPORT
Business Compares F~avorabIy With
That Of Last Year, but Warmer
Weather Needed. 81

MINNEAPOLIS.- Wholesale trade
continues steady and in fairly good
volume, with all lines active and shar-
ing in the general betterment. Spring
wheat seeding has commenced in the
southern counties and soil conditions
all ove the northwest have improved
during the past two weeks, although
there is still an absence Of moisture,
which must be made up by spring
trains. The advance estimate Of ecre-
age indicates a slight increase over
1912. The lumber situation continues
strong, with no indication of lower
prices. Building operations are active
and all kinds OF supplies are in
strong demand.
st, Paul.-Wholesale business is
steady and the outlook is encourage
ing. The distribution of hardware,
machinery and harness is of good
volume and better than a year ago.
he demand for clothing, dry goods
and wearing apparel is also quite ac-
tive. The volume Of sales in food
stuffs as compared with a year ago
is a little larger, but the demand is
rot brisk. the reason for which is at
tributed largely to a declining mar.
ket. Collections are satisfactory.
Duluth.-There is increased activi-
ty in this locality; the mines are
opening up for a busy season, load
ing has commenced and ore trains
are about to be. started on regular
runs to the, docks at Duluth.Superior
and the Two 'Ha2S3's:7 There is a
large accumulation Of grain at Du.
luth and Superior, the amount in ele-
vators being estimated at 100000
bushels, which is about their total
capacity; and there is also said to be
about 5000, 900 bushels more in boats.
There is still considerable solid ice
in the western end of the lake and
bay, but with favorable weather it is
believed this will soon break up,
and grain shipments down the
lakes started in the near future. In
most lines of manufacturing and job
bling an increase is noted in the vol
OF business for the first quarter
of 1913, Retail trade is fair and will
improve with the coming of milder
weather. Collections are about nor
NAL. i. ..
Kansas City-Jobbers of dry goods,
shoes and clothing report business
quiet, owing to the continued unset
tied weather conditions, but grocery
and rug houses r doing a satisfac-
tory trade. All jobbers report col.
lections good. Flour mills made a..
700 barrels last week. Eastern trade
is not satisfactory and export de-
mand light. Agricultural implement
business has been very active. Deal
ers are carrying large stocks, and sec
ond orders are expected to be the
heaviest in years. The live stock
market shows some improvement ov.
er last week, and on the whole, bet
ter prices ruled. Money is easy. Re
tail trade is only fair.

THE A DISASTER.

One year ago Tuesday. in the cold,
gray dawn Of the morning of April
Is, the White Star liner, Titanic, the
largest vessel in the world, %foundered
in mid-ocean, after striking an ice
berg. More than fifteen hundred lives
were lost in the disaster, which was
the greatest of its kind in the worlds
history.
Tho Titanic was bound for New
York when she met her fate and a
large number of New Workers were
among the victims of the disaster.
The memory Of these victims was
honored today in impressive memo
rial services held in various churches
in this city. One of the most inter
esting Of these services was held in
the lower East Side in memory of Mr..
and Mrs. lsidor Straus, whose deeds
of charity and philanthropy, as We'll
as the heroism Of their deaths, will
ever live in the memory of residents
of that section of the city.
The Titanic sailed from S%outhamp-
ton on April 10, on her maiden trip
to New York, in command of Captain
+. }. Smith, with a crew of $50 men
and 1924 passengers. She had been
hailed far and wide as "the unsink-
able SHIP" WITH 'wa;e4rtlght co,mpart;t
ments which would stand her in good
stead in any emergency.
On the night of Sunday, April IA,
in latitude 41:16 north and longitude
50:l4 west, the great liner, steaming
along under a star-decked sky, struck
the submerged spur of an iceberg,
which ripped a seam in her side be.
low the water line.
There were no fears among the pas.
sengers at first that the Titanic would
not survive her injuries, but as the
water streamed into the hold, filling
the compartments, Capt. Smith and
his crew realized the worst and man.
lIed the lifeboats. Men lifted their
wives into small boats and sent them
adrlft on a sea of ice, remaining on
deck awaiting the sinking of the ship,
All told, 704 persons got off in the
boats, which it was later determined
had a sufficient capacity to have &C.
comnodated Liz. These were res.
cued by the steamship Carpathia, The
Titanic went down early on the morn.
ing Ct April Is. s.-
Taf0s told by the rescued Of tha
herolsm of many who went TO their
death are still fresh in the minds of
men. But none was more splendid
nan the act Of the ships musicians
as the unsuitable ship was sinking

AS the result of a senatorial investi-
cation into the accident blame was
placed on, Capt. Smith for failing to
need warnings that ~icebergs lay ahead
n the British Board of Trade was
censured for lax regulations and i'm,
proper inspection.
Among the more prominent men

\ has been ample to relieve all drought
| apprehension and in the sections OF
greatest production the private re.
ports are even more fiattering than
the official statement from Washing.
ton. it IS early to count the bushels
since the crop has many weeks to
weather before maturity, but it is
generally agreed that the plants are
exceptionally vigorous and able to
withstand considerable. strain without
excessive impairment.
Losses in the soft wheat area of
the Ohio valley from the floods are
definitely determined to have been
small. The lowlands suffered most
and this is land largely given ver to
corn cultivation. AS that section Of
the country lost the greater part of
it's wheat crop last year, a repetition
this season would have been a great
calamity. The reports, therefore, min
inning the damage to growing wheat
indicate that the winter wheat pro-
duction this season will be more gen.
orally distributed than it was In 1912.
While farm work in the Northwest
has been somewhat delayed by late
snowfall, it is considered that the
value of the precipitation more than
offsets the time lost in field prepare
ton. AS it is, the season is normal
enough to permit a full acreage sown
although much of the area seeded
will be on spring plowed land and
some disked in on the stubble. 1t is
doubtful, however, If soil conditions
over the entire spring wheat belt
have been S o generally favorable as
they are at the present time. Farm
ers are being warned Of the especial
care needed this season in the selec.
ton of their seed wheat, owing to the
irregularity revealed by tests of its
terminating power and it is hoped
that the warning will be needed.
With domestic crop prospects so
promising there has been, naturally,
an easier price tendency in the mar.
ket. Operations for the fall have
been partially checked by the devel.
opment Of export business on the de.
clines. European markets held strong
and as long as importers are free
buyers in the international mar
ket with domestic prices closely ad-
justed to & shipping difference, the
establishment OF a permanently lower |
price level is not generally antici.
pated. The present lirmness, never !
the less, is the result of foreign, not
domestic, developments, and the
changes abroad will govern quota
lions largely, fov the remaindeT of this;j
month.

Salt Lake to San Francisco. On their
trip they visited Ely, and while in
Salt Lake called on Chief Engineer
Wyche, confined in a hospital there,
suffering with pneumonia. Mr.. Wyche
was taken down with the disease while
at Winnemucca ON June 3 and was
rushed to Salt Lake by special train.
He is much improved, and it is

NEVADA NORTHERN

A party of Western Pacific officials
arrived last evening at 8 o'clock by
special train drawn by Western Pa
cifie engine 101, to get acquainted
with the mines and reduction works in
this district. At 9 O'Clock this morn
ing the special was run to McGill,
where the members of the party took
look around the Steptoe plant. At
noon the train left McGill for the
mines and returned about 3 clock.
after permitting the visitors to spend
couple of hours sight seeing around
the big open pits of the Nevada rop
solidated at Copper Flat. The party
is composed of the following named:
c. II. Schlacks, first vice-p -presI lear,
and Mrs. Schlaeks; G. M. Levy, second
vice-president and general manager;
II. NJ Adams, freight traffic manage;
S. V. Derrah, general freight agent,
and B. +. Nevins, general live stock
agent
The visit of the Western Pacific Of
ficials is for the purpose of learning
personally the general condition of
this district about which they all have
heard much. They were accompanied
around the district by Superintendent
Duddleson, General Manager Lakcnan
and Business Manager Jenkins. VINO
did the honors for their companies.
Rumor has it that there has been
such betterment of Western Pacific
affairs that the company is casting
about with the view of getting hold
of good branch lines and has an eve
on the Nevada Northern which 1T
would like to purchase and connect
with the Tidewater road at Tonopah
as one of the greatest desires of the
company is to get a southern Cali
fornia connection. This may or may
not be true but it is a plausible ex-
planation of the visit of so many of
the high officials of the road. There
is talk that the company plans build
ing to Boise and in California but
the big proposition is southern Cali
fornia and not until the road has con-
nection there and gets its share of the
business will there be satisfaction in
the minds of the company manage
ment
The acquisition of the Nevada Nor
thern by the Western Pacific would
in no way interfere with the Gug-
genheim operations in the district as
the Nevada Con. would probably re.
tain the mine branch and continue to
operate it-Ely Expositor.

ESPECIAL CHILD" AT
N.E.A.CONYENT|ON
Especial to the Silver State.)


SALT LAKE CITY, June l9-Medi-
cal examination of children of the
public schools, child hygiene and
eugenics will be topics of special in
terest at the fifty first annual conven-
tion of the National Education asso
citation, to be held in Salt Lake City,
July to IL.
Among educators s'the special
child' is frequently the subject of
discussions and in class rooms fur
nishes one of the problems of modern
education. In every school there are
children deficient in one way or an
other, not sufficiently so to require
their transfer to special institution,
but backward enough to make them
special cares of hard worked teachers.
"The Special Child will be taken
up at the session of the special educa-
tion section of the N. E. A. on Thurs
day of the convention week. With the
topic the question, "Whys' is asked
and attempts will be made to show
the need and ways of prevention.
The Deaf and the Blind" also will
be a special topic. II. L. Virden, who
has made life study of the education
OF those who cannot hear and see, will
give an illustrated lecture on the sub
Ject before the special education Sec
tion on Friday of convention week.
Fit and Unfit Matings" will be
the subject of a special lecture by DIR.
c. B. Davenport, of the Carnegie In
stitute, Washington, d. c.. W. H.
Pyle, of the University of Missouri,
will discuss 1.-The Mental and Physi-
cal Examination of Rural School
Children
Altogether the N. E. A. program en-
braces discussion of all the problems
confronting educators. More than q
score of departmental meetings will
be going on at one time, almost, when
the teachers are in Salt Lake City.
The Tabernacle, with seating ca
pacity of 10000, will house the gen.
eral sessions and for the department
al meetings almost every public hall
and building in the city has been se-
cured by local committees.
