Of three battles between the rugged
Hibernian twin and the clever Balti-

notion that he was a better man than
the little darkey. who was nearly four
inches shorter than the Irishman. In
the session at Baltimore Mike made a
good showing, and took all Joe could
give and landed not a few good ones
on his own account Mike was eager
for another chance at Cans and early
the following year they were matched
to fight at san Francisco This time
Joe had all the better OF II. and in
the 18th round Sullivan went down
for the full count Nike was still
unconvinced. and a couple OF months
later he faced Cans in a Los Angeles
ring. That time IL took Joe only 10
rounds TO polish off Nike to the
queens taste This third bout was
staged on st. Patrick's day, but that
didn't save the Irishman from a

TRADE CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK. March 1-Bradstreet's q
review Of the weeks trade says:
while the trade and industrial pace
is still OF cautious, in some sections,
an even slow. character, evidences of
moderate improvement in distribution
are now too numerous to be denied
Certain it Is that, compared with a
month ago, there are fewer poor reports,
and resume Of both wholesale and re-
tail trade, of industrial conditions and OF
collections reveals the general trend to
be rather above than below fair.
stormy weather and a return of win
ter temperatures in the northern half OF
the country. with the natural effect on
country roads at this ordinarily between
seasons period, have not been altogether
favorable, but 1t is interesting TO note
that a number Of reports point to bud
ding spring trade having been held back,
rather than late trade in winter goods
having been benefited, by the normal
February weather experienced.
ITO sum up. the general trade move
rnent has not only BEEN fairly wen sus-
tanned throughout the month just clos
ing, but some real progress has been
scored and a survey sti1l furthar back
reveals that the business world has
come through the winter In better shape
than even some sangulne ones had pre-
dicted.'

CIRCULAR EXPLAINS
CERTIFICATES Use
May Be Used in Payment of
Income and Profits
III Taxes.
NOTICE SENT LOCAL BANKS

The Federal Reserve Bank of Rich
mond, in a circular letter to the bank
ing institutions OF Washington today
on the subject OF the use of United
States tax certificates in payment of
income and profits taxes. states that
provision has been made by hich such
taxes may be paid this year in four in
staIlments. and that "the first install
nnent win be due March IS and payment
should be made on or before that date -
In anticipation Of these taxes the
Treasury Department has issued two
series Of Treasury certificates of in
due March Is. These are tax series
OF 1919, dated August 20, .191s, and
maturing July Is. 1919, and series T
dated November Z, 1918, and maturing
March Is, 1919. All collectors of in
ternal revenue have been instructed
TO receive in payment Of the install
ment OF income and profits taxes. due
March IS, certificates of only these
series Certificates Of series To- can
not be used for the payment Of taxes
due March Is. They are not available
for the payment of taxes until April
is. 1919.
Extract From Instructions.
Todays letter TO the banks contains
this:
Certificates OF the first two series
tax series of 1919 maturing July Is,
1919, and series T. maturing March
Is, or the interim receipts issued
therefor by the Federal Reserve Bank
of Richmond--will be accepted by
the collectors of internal revenue al
their face value. They will be so ac-
cepted at any time on or before
March Is, 1919. When so accepted be-
fore March Is full interest to March
is will be paid. regardless of the day
on which the definite certificates OF
the interim receipts Of the federal
reserve bank are rendered"
The reserve bank Of Richmond says
that owing to the fact that only one
fourth of the taxes are payable on
March Is, and to the further fact
that almost $500. 0.000. 900 of Treasury
tax certificates, series T, mature on
March Is, there is no reason to an
ticipate that any tax moneys will be
available for redeposit on that date
Consequently banks will not be al
lowed on March Is to settle for in
como and profits taxes checks drawn
upon them for the March Is payment

PROBLEMS LEFT BY
FAILURE OF TREATY

AS a result of the failure of the
Senate to ratify the treaty OF peace
with Germany the Administration
will have many difficult problems on
its hands. For example. there is the
question of German property rights
in this country. The Government has
in its possession a great deal of prop
crty belonging to enemy aliens which
was seized during the war. Experts
IN the State Department say that the
Government has no right to this
property. Its disposition. now that
the peace treaty with Germany has
not been ratified. is a knotty prob
lem. The Peace Treaty contained a
clause covering the disposition of all
this property which is 10Y u%navaila-
BILE as a solution.
Another problem. closely connect
ed with the n outlined above, Is
the question Of American property
