BIsADSTREETS TRADE REVIEW

Some Improvement Due to Weather.
New York, April 24.-Bradstreet's s
tomorrow will say:
aside from an improvement noted
in retail trade, West, Northwest and
Southwest, the result Of warmer, more
springlike weather and fiattering early
crop prospects, trade and industry
generally have not shown any par
ticular change this week.
Indeed the quiet or irregular con-
ditions heretofore ruling have been
rather accentuated by the uncertainty
even as to the outlook for war or
peace and aside from a Slight, ap-
parently temporary flip given or
commodity price and some bear
drives against prices of securities, the
situation, broadly speaking. shows few
new developments.
THE leading industries note little
change from preceding weeks. Iron
and stel are dull as regards new
business. as dull in fact as for a long
time past.
For the week: Failures 319 against
273 last year; wheat exports, 2,764.-
$40 against 3,494,924; bank clearings,
$3,5S6, 10000. an increase Of 14.2 per
cent"

Subjcct--COuld Use Waste Land.
Atlanta, April 26.-To encourage
Southern farmers to take up sheep
raising, tie live stock department Of
the Southern Railway has issued q
booklet telling Of the advantages OF
the South for this industry and Civ
ing full information in regard to the
care and management of sheep under
conditions obtaining in South. A copy
Of the booklet will be mailed to any
farmer on request by Live Stock
Agent F. L. Word.
The booklet reproduces an article
on sheep raising by r. S. Curtis, an
authority on live stock connected with
the North Carolina Experiment Sta
! ton, who says in his introduction Of
the adaptability Of the South to sheep
raising:
'The sheep industry Of the South
as now conducted represents one Of
the most backward and the least pro-
iitable lines of live stock husbandry
followed. A large part Of the waste
land in this section could be used
profitably for sheep raising. Much OF
the rough and otherwise unused land
now covered with coarse grasses and
forest underground would furnish a
large amount of pasture and at the
same time the soil would be greatly
improved in agricultural value by the
use of sheep. For the amount of mon-
ey invested and the quantity of feed
required sheep will generally return a
greater net profit than most any other
kind of live stock that may be grown
in the South"
