DEMAND EXCEEDS SUPPLY Dun Ezplaioi Chief Feature of Strength in Btuinea Outlook. SHIPMENTS WAIT ON SPRING THAW Railroad Still I sable to Handle (ni. slanment Offered and Merchant Consequently Look Aaalonsly (or l.nke Tlgatln. NEW YORK. Feb. 13. R. O. Dun Co.'a Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will M: Disproportion between supply and de mand la still a factor of strength In many commodities while simllnr conditions exist as to skilled labor, retarding much work, and in some cases postponing Important undertakings. Wages have advanc?d In response to the demands of organized labor. The relief of the traffic congestion Is still confined to a few fnvor-d districts rnd shippers cannot hope for prompt deliveries until laka navigation opens. Earnings continue to show splendid Ruin over former year. January return thus far exceeding l!o. by .4 per cent and 1901 by 18.7 per cent. Maplea All Flourish... Orders for spring shipments are heavy In all ataple lines and the advance busi ness for fall Is unusually large, testifying to the confidence of buyer in continued prosperity. Sound conditions still continue to prevail In the Iron and steel Industry, with few developments of not. Coke Is In some wliat better supply, making It possible to operate blast furnace with less Inter ruption than was experienced when the month opened, but there Is constant com plaint of the scarcity anil high prices com manded by pig iron. Finished steel pro duct have not risen proportionately, al though they are In good demand. Large exports of wire and wire nails are re ported, the movement being heaviest to Australia, South America and Europe. With the advancing season there Is a bet ter movement of merchant pipe and kind red lines, while structural material Is also In more urgent request. The demand for railway equipment shows no diminution and another foreign order for steel rails could not be accepted, because deliveries were required In May. Cotton Exceptionally High. Cotton has taken the leading position of the great staples, both as to extent of advance and volume of speculative fans actions. Visible supplies are lower than the corresponding date In any year of the last decade, and It Is an unusual day when export do not exceed receipts". For eign aplnners are busy, domestic mills con sume freely, while there 1 business In alght for more cotton goods than preaent stocks of taw material at the mills will make. Several grade of cotton goods have ad vanced In price, which, with gains In other divisions of tne market during preceding weeks, makes th level of quotations much higher. A large attendance of buyer Is reported, stimulating activity with Jobbers and at first hands. Cash aalea are restricted by low supplies. Domestic consumption supplies most of the business, as export Inquiries are light. Export business has Increased In New England footwear factories, with good orders for April delivery of calfskin shoes. In the leather market the chief event haa been an active demand, with higher prices for belling butta. Dow supplies of sole leather give strength, and upper stock la In better request. Domestic hides weaken as the advancing season brings poorer grades to market. (Restricted receipts of dry hides sustain values, Import from Central America commanding a fractional advance. little change occurred In meats, but mild weather In this vicinity brought such a heavy movement of eggs that the price fell 6c for the week, making a decline of 11c a dozen within a week. Failure for this week numbered 230 In the United State, against 240 last year, and 20 In Canada, compared with 33 a year ago. I CAS SOT GET, ENOUGH LABOR. Itradatreet Say Employer All Orer Country Want More Workmen. ' ' NEW YORK, Feb. 13. Bradstreet to morrow will ay: ' 1 ; ' ' J Distributive trade and productive Indus try teel the Influence ot sprlng-UKe weather, slightly better collections, steady and even strong prices In ataules, improve ment In the lauway transportation and cheaper ana better suppliea ot coal In ihe east. An additional favorable feature not aa yet given-lull credence la the signing of the new bituminous wage scale, by wnlcb any possible unsettlement from this source la prevented. Mild weather makes for Increased activ ity In outdoor work, while active move ment In lumber, structural Iron and ateel, builders' hardware and a myrald of other line lead to the belief, that the present season, notwithstanding higher pnceB ot materials, will witness Immense building operations. In thla connection cagnlzance must be taken oc the report ooming from widely separated sections, Indicating a scarcity ot labor. In the south Increased railway building, lumbering operations and a diversification ot Industry genera'ly haa drawn heavily upon the labor available for the cotton fields, and a leaa Increase In the acreage than might have been expected is therefore looked for In thla line. A bal ance to tola, howeter, may be found in tne present high price of the ataple. in the north weat labor ia scarce In the lumbering Industry and, generally speak ing, It might be said that manual labor the country over flnds a ready market. aII In all, the aituatlon la one practically never equaled before at thla time, confirming earlier prediction that the first half of the year 19u waa secure beyond peradven ture. Perhaps the most notable feature In the entire situation la the lact that present high prices do not aa yet aeem to check consumption. In the strongest situated ln- xluatrles of all, thoae of cotton manufac turing ana of iron ana sieei production, insistent demand, culminating In enlarged aalea, give testimony to the Increased pur chasing power of tha country at large. Cotton and cotton good have led the mar ket this , week, spot cotton advancing 1-3 cent ami. future deliveries nearly H cent, partly bicaus of manipulation. It 1 true, but ultimately because of the active spring oemand for cotton goods, even at the high prices dominating. The dry goods trade the country over senda excellent reports. in iron and steel the chief trouble Is the car congestion, which limits supplies of coke reaching furnaces and checks deliv eries. Foundry Iron la In good demand and beaaemer sells readily and freely where ob tainable at l.um(21.u0 per ton. Production of pig Iron atllt talis to meet conaumptlve requirements, increased demand la noted for atructural material, steel plates, mer chant bara and rails. The demand for hardware la Increasing and building prom lees to be active. An additional steadying feature ia tho proapect that alt tlatwea of iron ore will be advanced, the Increase varying from 25 cents to $1.25 and the aver age being In the neighborhood of 76 cents. Copper strengthens steadily from week to week. Deck of snow la complained of In aome parte of the northwest aa limiting the log ging output, but that In Maine la large, and on th I'acidc coaat unprecedented ac tivity la noted, in the south and south west the output ot lumber la enormous.

As a prelude to the big ten-man team twenty-five live bird race today between All-Nebraska and OmHha aggregations, a twenty live bird Individual race waa' held at the ground of the Omaha Gun club irrnrj the river Friday afternoon. The affair waa a sort of a practice ehoot, many of the men who will compose the team today participating. Others also ihot, and there was a total entry list of nlnte-n names. From this field V. J. Hindmarsh ot Uncoln took away top honors by killing a clean card. There waa nojone to divide the glory with him, and he took first money alone, $45.60. Entry was $15, ro there was a good purse iO go on. Two men tied for a?cond place, Dvorak ar.d Watson, and they received $12.60 each. They had nineteen kills apiece. Six men dropped eighteen birds Inald." the line. Thev were Brewer. Fogg. Goodrich, Kimball, Thorpe and Katon. Their share was $l.b0 each. B 27, Buyd and Bray were In for fourth money with seventeen bird each. They drew out $12 apiece. Despite the frigid weather, a Urge crowd of sport lovers was out to see thla pre liminary warming up of the old experts for todnv'e fray. The cold served to make shooting a matter of great skill. Th birds were a fin spry lot In the first plsce, and the temperature only made them the II viler, so that they were a hard bunch to kill.

THIS TO PREVENT PITTING IN SMALLPOX Dr. Ralph Thlaka Omaha I First City la the tnlted States to Take Advantage of Flnsen Discovery. ' Patients in the Omaba emergency hospi tal soon are to be protected absolutely from pitting or scarring by smallpox by th uae of one of the recent discoveries In photography the use of light In medical practice. Health Commissioner Ralph baa deelded to adopt the simple method made known to the world lo 1893 by Dr. Nlela Flnsen of Copenhagen, wNlch constat sim ply of barring from the alck room any light but red light, the ahade to be regu lated according to the virulence ot the rel ease. 8o far aa the health commissioner kaowa, Omaha will be the first city In the United 8tates to equip It peathouse In thla msu ner. Aside from preventing disfigurement the Flnsen method 1 said to have a power ful remedial effect upon the disease, pre venting auppuratlon, checking the course of the ailment and lessening the duration of sickness. If the pustule are already well defined and discharging pus, the dark red light toon heals them with the trace on the face and hand which now consti tute the chief reason to dread smallpox, sine under modern condition It seldom cause death. Expense Will Be Small. The expense will be light, all that Is necessary being a quantity of red cloth to be hung over the doors and window and over the lamps. Twenty-flvo dollars will be more than enough to equip the hospital for all the patlenta It now contains six or even. Dr. Ralph plana to have the ar rangements completed next week. An article In the current number of Mr Clure's Magaxlne, called "The Surgery of Light" and written by Cleveland Moffett, set Dr. Ralph to wondering why the Fln sen method could not be Introduced Into the local emergency hospital. It dl1 not take him very long to conclude tbat (he treatment could be Installed at very alight cost, at least In a crude but generally suffi cient way. Dr. Nells Finsotl is the individual who ha become famous through his discovery of the wonderful curative effect of blue or ultra-violet rays when applied to such dis eases as lupus, cancer, etc. The discovery of the value ot darkness and red ray In smallpox cases wa made In the early atagea ot his Investigations. Dr. Plcton'a Experience. He stumbled across the truth one day while reading a pamphlet published in 1832 by Dr. Plctou in New Orleans. Incidentally it was mentioned that a number ot'soldlers imprlaoned in a dungeon had taken cmall pox and. had recovered quickly without scarring or suppuration of the pustules. Cleveland Moffett describes the progress of the experiments: ' "No attempt was made at explanation, but the mere fact waa sufficient for Fln sen, who In a flash of Insight seised upon a truth that had lain here for years, under stood by no one. The soldiers bad recov ered without scarring simply because, be ing in the (dark cells, they were protected against the irritating actinic raya, the same bine rays that disturbed the earthworms so. No one knew better than Flnsen how much barm these rays can do, even to a normal and healthy kln by eun burning,, , Ho w much greater harm, - ha reasoned, must these raya work If allowed to tall on an In flamed sensitive cuticle Ilk that ot a small pox patient. It waa, therefore, tlear to him that such patients should be kept either in darkness, like Dr. Ptotou's prisoners, or, better still, for purposes ot convenience and comfort, in red light, which Is physio logically th ssme as darkness. Would not patlenta thus protected from the chem ical raya enjoy Immunity from pockmark Ing? b asked himself." Result of an Experiment. The result of an experiment was a tri umph for Flnsen and was summedup like thla by Dr. Svendsen: "The period of sup puration, the most dangerous and most painful stage of smallpox, did not appear; there waa no elevation of temperature and no edema. The patients entered the stage of convaleacence immediately after the period of vaccination, which seemed a lit tle prolonged. The hldeou scsrs were avoided." A very little daylight was found to work harm. In ordinary cases a clear, red light, strong enough for the patient to read, la all that is necessary. In bad cases the light must- be dark red. All this Is what It is proposed to do for persons unfortunate enough to be taken sick with smallpox and confined In ths emergency hospital at Omaha. Odd Fellow Temple Company Falls, CINCINNATI.
