TRADE REVIEW FOR THE WEEK
9
Disturbing Elements Are Gradually
Disappearing,
Dun's Weekly Review of Trade says:
Although confidence In tho future Is
more noticeable than satisfaction with
present conditions, yet one by one
disturbing elements are gradually dis
appearing. While the tariff Is st'll
under consideration and checking full
activity In Industries most concerned,
et the reports from most of tho cities
sN, their trade to be In n fairly sot
1. 1. 3. y state. Tho centers rnrthest re
ij.w.u from the Industrial district are
i....ji.l!y making the best exhibits.
While the Iron and steel trade is still
in the unsettling process of readjust
ment, yet It makeB the best showing
In exactly that line the structural
which is a sign of building activity.
In the primary cotton goods market
the moat interesting feature of thv
week has been the activity In wla
convertibles of print cloth yarn, con
verters and cutters now showing for
the first time a disposition to operate
freely, while manufacturers as a rule
are reluctant to make contracts ex
cept at a material advance. Buyers
of men's wear woolen fabrics are now
going on tho road and fewer cancella
tions than usual as a result of failure
to deliver sample prices in tlmo aro
reported. There appears to be a de
cided shortage on spring goods, stocks
on hand having been sold at full prices
and In some instances commanding
premiums. The dress goods division
continues to be quiet. More business
is roported In yarn, but prices remain
unsatisfactory.
The noteworthy feature In footwear
Is tho buying of solo leather by sev
eral largo manufacturers, Indicating
that somo contracts aro being placed.
New England salesmen on tho road
report an Improvement In fall orders,
nnd as both retail and wholesale
stocks are much below normal, re
newed nctlvlty cannot bo long delayed.
NIAGARA FALLS IS SILENT
Ice Jam Continues and River Is Forty
Feet Above Normal.
Niagara Is mute for the second time In
the memory of man. The first time
was into in February, when, following
a severe northerly blow, the falls ran
dry. There being a strong southwest
er the river 1b frozen sold from bank
to bank. Last Wednesday the worst
gale in the history of tho weather bu
reau left ruin In its wake In the chan
nel of tho Niagara. At Niagara Falls
there had been a heavy Ice gorge in
the pool below the cataracts since the
middle of the winter. Under the Im
pact of the mass or Ice drifted frbm
Lake Erie above and the added floods
brought down by the wind, tho gorge
gave way and surged down tho rapids.
But before it could win freedom in
Lake Ontario, the wind shifted to the
north ahd the moving floes packed at
the mouth of tho river. Each horn
brought added pressure from above.
Unable to escape tho river rose by
leaps and bounds. The highest flood
level previously recoded wob twenty
eight feet above the normal. The rlv
er is now forty feet above normal.
Water poured over the window sills
of the power house of the Ontario
Power company nnd flooded the ma
chines. The steamer piers at Lewiston
nnd Queenston aro burled beneath
the thousands of tons of Ice. At Niag
ara on the lake, thewharf also Is over
whelmed. Conservative estimates place tho
damage at $1,000,000. All day a
stream or visitors poured down to
Bee a sight that Is unlikely to repeat
Itself within the present generation.
Under a brilliant sun the river lay
white nnd glistening and it was silent,
absolutely voiceless. The best that
can be hoped for Is a succession of
calm, warm days. Then the ice will
melt gradually and subside. Already
It has sunk a few feet.
DEADLOCK ON MINE SCALE

Without Agreement.
After conferences at Philadelphia

or America, representing the miners,
at which the question of a wage agree

commission, the operators rejected the
modified demands the miners had pre
sented and the conference adjourned
deadlocked. There will be no strike
Inaugurated by the mine workers, how.
uver, and the otily danger or n suspen
sion of mining in the near ruture, ac
cording to the mine workers' officials,
arises rrom the possibility or the re
fusal of the operators to permit the
miners to work without an agreement
