GROUNDS" STOP
 ELECTRICAL TESTS

The trial electrical operation of the New Haven road from NorwaIk to Bridgeport and New Haven has been postponed. While it was announced that the current would be turned on from Norwa1k to Burr Road and from that point to New Haven between May II and Is, the original test showed that there were 32 t.grounds'' between Stamford and Saugatuck bridge alone, and the number between that point and New Haven is as yet unestiInated.
 As soon as the defects were discov- cred a large force of electrical ex- perts were placed upon the sections and every effort is being made to dis cover and repair the leaks. = As many of these may be due to induced currents the delay may be heightened. and officials of the road today could not say when the first train would be rum through to Bridgeport.
 It was said at the Cos Cob power house that as soon as the inspectors have completed the repairs. the power could be turned on by the throwing of a switch. In the meantime it is ex- pected that distribution of cars a.ud locomotives will be made along the line preparatory to opening up the summer service which will be exc1u- siveIy conducted by the electrical equipment.

INDUSTRIES ON VERGE
 OF SATISFACTORY BOOM

Commerce and industry in the Unit ed States seems on the verge of a most satisfactory upturn. The inn proyement has been gradual yet it Is more or less noticeable in practically every line. The most powerful factcr in the situation remains the prospect for exceedingly good harvests. Winter wheat crop may now be considered certain to break all records and oth- CT crops are doing well for the sea- son.
 Iron and steel men see a rift In
 the clouds A slight lowering of prices has brought out some new business and the rate of inquiries coming in is such that better business may be looked for in the next few months. Tn drygoods circles the selling element expects a favorable turn in the near future as orders which have been held back on account of unfavorable wealth CT must 1ao7z reach the market and the very conservative buying of re- cent months gives the trade a strong technical position.
 Retailers particularly in the west. report improved conditions. Collec- tions are speeding up in many dis tricts An increased demand for leath- CT is felt at the tanneries owing to better sales to consumers. Producers of wool are obtaining unusually good prices and two prominent woolen mills are en1arging their plants. Building statistics are not up to the average Flour mills also find it necessary to curtaiI production
 Prices of commodities still move downward although pork products are

 The figures given above, 1t IS point nut out. amount to nearly 20 per cent of the total death rate and to about or1e-ni1ltf of the total births or the year. About half of this number die under two months of age drona con- genital causes while. above me ase oa two months. the more common causes -ztre zastro-f1ltestinal disorders
 Taking up the question of proper milk supply. the bulletin says;
 Much valuable work is now Delng done to improve the milk supply or ss,z state and this has been found to have an appreeiabie effect on the m rant death rate Health ozHcers shouid do all they can to see that the m. inl.A- .- Auppfs comes from healthy adlllnals and that it is protected rom con tas1aillation from the time it leaves the COW until it reaches the consumer

 Considering the very high death .rate in infants under three n1entns 5f age. the bulletin continues, it is evident that the cause must be sought. a step further and the remedy applied to sthe mother as well as to the cow Babies are often found iIl-nourished laecausa the mother is too poor to buy uroper food for herself and means must be found for her to obtain this q IliIe she is znourishing her baby A denIthy baby, the bulletin says, is not tc be expected as the offspring of in tcnaperate or rnder-fed parents

 The financial situation 1&1le world over appears easier than it has been for some time as the mad rush by European governments to accumulate gold has subsided.

The local market stood the recent strain well. Many shares are now sell ing under the low point of November, |s1912. It would seem as if the worst had been amply discounted Should we keep out of trouble with Mexico: should the railroads receive fair play, and should the crops approach any thing near their present promise, we may look for at least a partial re- syival of confidence and business ac- tivity.
 Already there are symptoms of 3 coming turn for the better in the iron trade. Nevertheless, prudence is still advisable, particularly until the Mex ican situation begins to clear. Our president should have every encour- agement in his present policy of keep ing out of trouble.
