Must Pay Post Office
Box Rent, Or elise"

And that "else" means your
box will be closed and you will
have to get mail at the general
delivery window. An old postal
law is being enforced by the
postmaster, and that is that box
rent for the ensuing quarter must
be paid by the date of the rents
expiration, or the box will be
closed and rented to another.
This rule is not a new one,
though its application here is
new. 1t is an old postal law,
and is enforced in other cities.
If renters will look on the back
of their box receipts they will
find the law Section 453 postal
laws and regulations, which must
be adhered to. 1t is:
Section 1853 postal laws and
regulations. Paragraph 2.
Box rents shall be collected
at the beginning of each quarter
for the entire quarter, but no
longer. Ten days before the last
day of each quarter Postmaster's
shall place a bill bearing the date
of the last day Of the quarter in
each rented box. If box hold
er fails to renew his right to his
box on or before the last day of
a quarter the box shall then be
closed and offered for rent. and
the mail placed in the general
delivery"

w. B. Hibbs & Company made pub
tic the following summary of the action
of the New York list from their New
York correspondent:
Between the press reports 10 the ef-
feet that the de facto government in
Mexico is anxious for the withdrawal Of
United states troops. the Washington
advices which suggested that further
temporizing will not be tolerated with
reference to the controversy with Ber-
lin, and further indications OF a prospect
of sharp tilt between railroad man
ayers and a portion OF their employees,
the stock market fraternity could not
CLEAN much Of a nature TO encourage
constructive endeavors, and as a con-
sequence thereof selling was freely in
dulged in.
while a goodly portion OF the pres
sure emanAted from professional sources,
still a fair amount OF liquidation was
encountered. 1t was said the British
government has exercised an option on
a large amount Of copper. but this news
failed to impart hrmness to copper
shares. While irreguIarity has become
rather more pronounced during the past
few days, still there are no distinct in
dications of the list having forced itself
out of the prescribed limits in which
the same have been fiuctuating for quite
a period. However. with political con-
siderations assuming a serious aspect, II
goes without saying that a scaIping at
ttude is preferable TO an extended posi-
ton on the long side"

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Bradstreet and Dun Report Activity Reigng Supreme in
Trade, Shipping Industry, Mining and Railroading
with Mills and Factories Oversod and
Orders Still Insistent

New York, April 7.-Dun's review
of trade for the week ending tomor-
row will say:
Even after months of extensive buy
ing, requirements continue remark
ably heavy and further augmentation
of business is noted. Consumptive de-
mands are sustained in greater volume
than In best previous years and pres
sure upon Industrial forces is un-
abated, though in some instances high
prices check new contracts.
But such cases are still the excep-
ton and. in the aggregate, transsc-
tions grow rather than diminish, be-
ing limited mainly by the over-solid
condition of mills and factories. Man
ufscturers are working as never be-
fore to meet the insistent calls for
more merchandise and products. yet
outputs, while steadily rising, remain
inadequate and many plants fall
farther behind on orders.
Scarcity of materials continues, and
is not confined to any single industry
or trade; it is apparent in steel. in
textiles, in leather, in paper and else
where. and hampers operations at
numerous points.
Labor troubles are also a source OF
increasing annoyance-though strikes
are usually quickly settled-and the
demand for skilled hands exceeds the
supply, while the freight congestion
Is still q cause of much delay.
Development OF new enterprise is
general and the railroads buy heavily
of equipment, and in spite of all ef-
forts to augment facilities. producing
and transporting forces fail to keep
pace with domestic and foreign re-
quirements.
Visiting buyers operate extensively
in the leading wholesale markets, both
for nearby and future needs, and even
larger dealings would be noted were
manufacturers In position to promise
definite deliveries.
Sentiment is more cheerful in fnan-
cial circles and stock value tend up
wards, but cotton prices. in contrast
to the sharp rise in wheat advance
slowly.

New York, April 7.-Bradstreet's review
OF trade for the week ending tomorrow
will say:
Activity relgns supreme in whatever
direction one may look-whether to trade,
industry, mining. railroadins or shipping
by wster-and a further surge forward is
expected when ice-closed harbors open
to navigation and country roads improve
The pace is rapid. at record rate, in
fact, being neither deferred By high prices
nor missivings over international mat
ters, which latter at the moment seem
rather beciouded.
The only existing drawbacks to final
distribution, cold weather and bad roads
are deemed to be but temporary factors
Whatever lulls may be experienced are
due either to inability TO get goods or to
the fact that the producing units of the
country are sold up, with perhaps some
slight eobtng In this or that line as the
result OF seasonal changes
In the larger sense, purveyors view
with satisfaction the results of what has
probably been record turnover for the
nrst three months of the year, with the
knowledge that new orders need not be
soicited with the energy of other years
But apparently the stream of new orders
cannot be checked. active buying for fall
account having come forward TO hold the
center OF the stage, and even In sections
where country roads are still impassable.
merchants evince strong disposition to
stock up lest prices go still higher
Indeed, II is to this stocking-up process
that note of caution must be addressed
Tor IL seems certain that fear of high
prices as well as concern over shortage
OF materials has caused many merchants
to rush buying which in ordinary years
would be consummated in a leisurely
way.
AT the same time there is some evil
dence OF recorders coming out, though Il
Is cutie patent that retail trade on spring

ditions for the Improvement Of values,
tendencies toward Improvement were en-
countering opposition from certain ad-

Sussex phase Of the U-boat controversy
definitely into the stock market reckon

attention.
There was a variety Of other develop
