DRY GOODS FAIRLY ACTIVE.
Many Manufacturers Not Srekins
Orders at Presrnt.

The Dry Goods Economist says Com
sidefihg that many manufacturers arc
not seeking orders AZ present trade has
been fairly active during the week.
Jobbers as Il rule have their men on the
road 10 obtain orders for fabrics for
next fall and winter as we.i AS for cur
rent demand on those goods and on
others. In several lines. however. man
ufacturcrs realize that, du. 90 ,he
backward spring retailers have no. yet
had a chance 10 dispose of their initial
stocks OF seasonable goods.
For this reason and also because
their ~ product is oversold and they
have difnculty In making deliveries

seeking new business AT present. More
over. the shortage OF operatives con-
cnues very marked in certain branches,

WEEKS REVIEW OF TRADE.
General Conservation in Business
Policy Emphasised in Report.

Unchanged conditions are reported In
the trade reviews of the week. DWn's
thus emphasizes the general conserva-
tism In business policy:
1T Is reaSsuring at a time Of unprec-
edented business activity that conser-
vatism In increasing rather than dimin-
ishing. Confidence is widespread In the
continuance Of record breaking achieve
ments In production and distribution.
but there IL now Il more general dis
position to avoid speculative excuses
and to guard against ovcrcxtension in
n quarter. This spirit of caution Is
manifested In the efforts to check the
rapid rise OF prices In the steel in
dustry. as well as in the textile mar
kets and other leading lines. Evidence
appears that quotations have outrun
tho views OF some buyers. who proceed
more slowly In making forward commit
ments; yet. In h main. demands still
seem Unsuitable and manufacturers have
OF necessity turned numerous contracts
away. The purchasing power of the
people. as manifested in the leading
markets. Is much above normal, the
steady u mentation Of wages through
out the country making sustained buy
ing possible In spite of unusually high
prices"
Bradstreet's sa,e:
After eight months of steady expan-
NJ trade still continues on the TN
grade, and Its chief characteristic IL
sustained activity. More ~seasonable
weather has come along TO stimulate

shortages. IL IL loud as ever: prices
Keep on rising. practically every report
speaking OF this feature as a factor
hat falls to discourage business. In
deed. fear OF still higher prices causes
purveyors to continue TO rush buying,
to actually bid up the markets against
themselves. n TO completely overtum

MERCHANTS HELPING
TO END FREIGHT TIEUP
Plan to Keep Stations and
Piers Open Later Meets
With Approval.

The railroads. the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the Merchants
Association took additional steps yes
terday to end the freight congestion in
and about New York.
The Eastern Freight Accumulation
Conference at a meeting in the afternoon
with Commissioner f. r. Clark adopted
a proposal Of the Merchants Association
that freight stations and piers In the
city bs kept open until . o'c4ock At
night to permit the early removal Of In
coming freight. All concerned were con-
WINGED that shippers could aid greatly by
availing themselves Of this privilege.
The conference also adopted a resolu-
ton directing the traffic managers COM
mittee Of the Trunk Line Association to
withdraw the privilege OF e~consigning
freight shipped under domestic bills OF
lading for export. Many shippers have
been beating the freight embargoes by
shipping under domestic bills of lading
freight tmbargoed as foreign shipments
and then reconsigning It for export. Yes
terday's action will stop this.
1t has been decided also that begin
ming to-day and continuing two and
one-half months until June 10 all Aail-
roads affected by tho congestion will
charge progressive demurragc on cars
held by shippers or c~onsignees beyond
the period OF free storage. Suoh charges
will be 81 a day for the first three days
and 81 a day for all succeeding days or
fractions except Sundays or holidays.
This does not apply 10 refrigerator cars.
This measure TO bring about morc rapid
unloading Of cars is approved by tho
commerce commission.
A report Of an Investigation Of freight
conditions in the New York and New
England region shows thai conditions
on the New Haven and other railroads
are better. Tho New Haven has opened

LEHIGH COAL co. FINED
100000 FOR REBATES
Counsel Blames Jersey Cen
trail Railroad for Lack Of
Defence.

TRENTON, March SIN imposing a
fine OF 100000 upon the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company In the United
states District Court this afternoon
Judge Rellstab outlined the theory upon
which tho Federal Government seeks to
prohibit rcbatlng on the part OF common
carriers Tho coal company had been
found guilty on twtnty-scven counts
charging II with accepting rebates from
the Central Railroad Company Of New
Jersey NJ shipments OF coal from Nes-
%quehoning, Pa, To- Elizabcthport.
Ex-Judge Abraham BETTER OF Phila-
dclphia, counsel for the coal company.
made the novel charge that the Central
Railroad. which was recently fined $780,
900 for granting rebates. had made no
bona fde effort 10 defend the svf. but
had IN fact won a distinct victory
through its conviction notwithstanding
the 5000. 900 fine. lie added that by this
decision declaring illegal the Lateral al
lowances'' claimed by the coal company
under It's lease that corporation would
lose 100000 a year for M next $50
years. which is the l,fo of the lease.
Conversely. he intimatad, the Central
Railroad would be- a corresponding
gamer BY the decision.
During Mr.. Beitler's plea for leniency
Judge itellstap remarked that the I'M
position OF q hne IL at best "A silly way
to punish "A wealthy corporation. He
deplored the apparent lack of respect
for authority and disregard for law
manifested by the present generation In
business affairs and otherwise.
In my Judgment said the court.
there must be a substantial fine. There
must be "A distinction observed as TO the
culpab!lity az between the Central Rail-
road and the Lehigh Coal and Naviga-
ton Company. They did not benefit In
the same manner but both are legally
and morally culpable."
1t WAS announced when the proceed
ings were concluded that the Lehtgh
Coal and Navigation Company will APP
peal to the United States Court OF
Appeals.
