wise Of much Importance" III.
Tho, Wilmington News makes no attempt to con.
ceal its indulgence Of the rangers. Brushing aside
the possibility of international complications it says:
W have to confess that we rather admire those
Texas citizens who dashed across the border into
Mexico and secured the mutilated body Of Clcmente
Vergara. Of course the United States is. not, Of.
fcially responsible for that invasion. No injury was
done to Mexico or Mexicans. A man known as a
citizen of Texas had been killed and buried. NO
satisfaction could be obtained for the murdcr-the
execution Of Vergara by an irresponsible body of
men certainly savors of murder-and the United
States had . perfect right to demand redress. At
the same time this country has never recognized the
Huerta government, and Could scarcely appeal to it
for satisfaction, although it is true that the Federal
authorities had tacitly agreed to permit the removal
OF the body. At the same time there appeared to be
physical dangers in the way OF those who sought to
bring about the recovery. Therefore some citizens
took charge Of the matter and the permission granted
was taken, although quietly and without any parade
or demonstration. There is no expectation that the
death of Fergara will be avenged legally, and there
is no expectation Of international complications
The complications already existing are sufficient. AL
that can be hoped is that some day, and in some
way, Mexico will be restored to a condition some
what akin to normal, and that then the United
States, Great Britain and one or two other countries
will be abla%to collect bills for damages now being
made up for future reference :
The Asbury Park Evening Press says:
Give q Texan a chance and he is sure to upset
the best laid plans. The average cowboy Of Texas is
a diplomatict school unto himself. Hence We are not
surprised that he has given a lesson to Uncle Sam
in how to find out If any American citizen has been
murdered. The bleeding wounds Of Vergara told the
story Of crime very much as Caesars body disclosed
the work Of Brutus when Marc Antony uncovered the
pail before the Roman populace. Now that Uncle
Sam has the body and the evidences the question is
uppermost and insistent-what are we going to do .
about it?"~ ~,.

DUNNS' WEEKLY
TRADE REPORT
Spring Business Opening Up satisfac-
toriIy, with Gains in Some Lines
Over Last Wear

Spring Business Opening Up satisfac
torily, with Gains in Some Lines
Over Last Year.
Mlnneapolis.--General business con
ditions continue satisfactory in al!
lines. Preparation for spring trade has
increased in volume considerably and
the outlook il; regarded promising,
Euilding supplies and materials are
active and building operations are
opening on a good sized scale. Lumber
prices continue high, with no signs OF
weakening. General collections are
satisfactory.
St. Paul.-Cument business by job.
beers and manufacturers is regarded as
seasona5ly satisfactory and the out.
look is considered such as to sustain
confidence. Millinery is being bought
freely, distributors reporting increas-
ed sales compared with a year ago;
and footwear, dry goods. and other
wearing apparel is moving in good
volume. There has been active inquiry
for hardware, harness, etc, the de-
mand being steady and increased as
compared with the same period year
ago. In drugs, chemicals and oils,
trade is normal.
Kansas City.-There is nothing Of
particular Importance to be noted
among the wholesalers in this vicin-
ity, although the seas0nable weather
of the past few weeks has had a ten
dency to stimulate trade with retail
ers. Collections are still a little slow
and unsatisfactory. Quietness among
the implement jobbers is very much
In evidence, the past week being
about the slowest since the convell
ton in January. Improvement in the
flour trade of this vicinity was more
apparent during the past week than
any time this year. The strength not
ed in spring wheat is improving the
position of hard winter wheat -four in
eastern markets and the tendency OF
prices is upwards. The output Of the
Kansas City mills showed an increase
OF several thousand barrels during the
past week, the production being 377,.
200 barrels compared with $4,000 bar
rels the preceding week. In the local
live stock market the run Of cattle
was moderate and prices steady. The
demand for hogs has lessened con-
s%iderably and trade here is slow.
Omaha.-Trade seems to have in
creased considerably in the grocery
and hardware lines during the past
week and the volume of business is
greater than a year ago. Unfayorable
weather conditions seem to have kept
the sales Of dry goods down, put the
situation in this line has improved
considerably during the past. few
days. Shoe dealers report demand as
slack, but seem optimistic over
the outlook for the coming spring.
Sales of implements are about equal
to q year ago. The money market in
this locality is very easy and there is
a moderate demand for loans at 5 to
5 IL per cent. Bank deposits are in
creasing rapidly. III some lines short
extensions have been asked for,
though, on the whole, collections are
good.
