New York. March 5.-Bradstreets'
review tomorrow will say:
BY and large. trade is slightly
better, though there are many ragged
edges. especially when such sections
as the East and South are considered
IN centers distributing to cereal-grow-
ing regions house orders have in
creased as the result of buyers visits;
unemployment continues to decrease:
many lines are spurred to activity by
war orders; bank cIearings COMPARE
sons are more favorable in that de-
creases are smaller: winter wheat
crop reports are excellent soil condi-
lions for spring pIanting~ are favor
able; such farmers as have been in
position to hold wheat for high
prices display little interest in new
loans. and collections are better in
certain sections, more particularly the
Southwest.
"Withal, check-reins on widespread
expansion are plentiful enough. Trade
in many parts of the South is inert;
recurring uncertainties born of the
European war act as deterrent:
there are some signs that new
foreign buying of war supplies has
receded and conservatism in general
purchasing is noteworthy. a decided
preference being shown for frequent
shopping rather than large-lot buying
at any one time, even though stocks
are conceded to be low. Traffic dur
ing February on the Western roads
Increased perceptibly.
Money is easy. Domestic improve
ment in some bonds is better, and
further progress of the allied forces
in the Dardanelles has given rise to
talk of early peace. to renewed weak
ness in wheat and to buying OF stocks
by interests that at time displayed
concern over possible complications
connected with the European situa-
ton, while the adjournment of Con-
Gress on Thursday also played a part
in the covering movement"

UNCHARIED ROCK
PROVES Menace

. Supporting the claim made by Capt.
Altonaga, master OF the stranded
steamer Elcano. that his vessel
struck an unchartered rock In the Ma
queda channel. Philippine islands. is
the following official statement of the
Bureau of Coast and Geodetic Survey.
relative to the location Of the rock.
An examination by an officer of the
United States Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey. of the rock in the Taebun chan
mel tMaqueda channel) on which the
steamship Elcano recently struck, dis
closed the existence of pinnacle GOV.
cred by depth of one and one-half
fathoms.
The pinnacle slopes off rapidly to
depths OF Is to 90 fathoms within a
distance of 100 meters.
The approximate position OF the

the Times.
Believed to be recent volcanic for

ARE
TO BE DROPPED
FROM FLEET

The prospect of an early change in
army transport fleet in the Pacific
was Iessened by a report received at
Honolulu telling of the cancellation
of charter for several passenger and
cargo carriers recently employed in
the transfer OF troops and supplies to
Mexico.
The departure of the transport Lo-
gan from Nagasaki, Japan. for Ho-
nolulu yesterday, with a quantity of
coal for the army quartermaster de-
partment, had revived expectation
that either the newer San Marcos,
Denver City or the Kansas might be
sent from the Atlantic to the Pacific
An order from the war department
now posted here has banished this
hope The San Marcos, Denver City
and Kansas have been ordered return
ed to their owners and their charters
cancelled. The charter parties require
these vessels to be restored to their
owners in their original condition at
the expense of the United States gov
eminent. In some instances the cost
will be considerable, as the cabin ac-
commodations were torn out. 4. ....~..
1t has been reported for some
months that the Thomas and the Dix
would be relegated to the scrap heap.
Vast sums have been spent on the
maintenance of the Thomas, now oper-
ated from San Francisco to Manila
by the way of Honolulu and Guam. In
the case of the Dix the government
has been under much less expense.
The vessel is now. used as O freight
and livestock carrier with its home
port at Seattle. .. ...::e
The venerable transport Crook,
which more than three years ago Wis
tied Honolulu, when large number
of troops were rushed to the islands,
will be sold by the military authori-
ties. The Crook has been laid up at
Fort Mason, San Francisco, for many
months. The transport Meade, now at
Newport News, Va, has seen 40 years
service as transatlantic freighter
and later as United States troop
ship. - >...... H.. j.. 49,.
