Cloudy, cool weather probably had much to do with the dullness Some Renuine spring weather is the thins needful, say traveling salesmen, to dry up the mud and plvo.pnap to trade. Even the wholesale grocers, who J-ddom complain, ppeak of trade as iuiet during the last ten days. Notwithstanding the dullness, prices in most lines are well sustained, especially In staple groceries, drugs, paints, iron and hardware and provisions. The produce markets are active. Leceipts of eggs and poultry are llsfht; as a consequence prices are well held. In dry goous, cotton goods are weak at the revised quotations of Thursday.

Consequently the market opened with the bidding rather spirited, and all that were suitable for butchers sold promptly at strong prices compared with yesterday, and generally 25c higher than a week ago. The best feeding cattle were steady, but thin stockers did not meet with as much demand as expected at this time, and It was rather diflicult to get steady prices. A good clearance of all kinds was finally made. Steers weighing a little less than 1,500 lbs sold at $5.5), with 1,306-lb kinds at $5.30, and 1.135 to l,2C3-lb cattle at $4.9033.20. Heifers sold as high as $1.73, quite a number at $4.63, and a very large proportion of the supply sold above $1. The top price for cows was $4.50, bulls $4.23, and calves $G.T3.

There was only a moderate supply of hogs, and the quality was as good as the average heretofore this week. With rather active competition between all buyers the marKet opened with sales usually at steady prices, but later, after the top hogs had changed hands, there was an easier tendency, and most of the mixed hogs were considered about 2UC lower than yesterday. It dkl not take long to exhaust the supply at the change In prices, but the market closed quiet. Sales ranged from $5.95 to $G.2, and were largely at $6"g6.05 for mixed lots.

Some of Them Are Lying Safe nnd Unreachable in English Hanks. Marquise Do Fontenoy, in Washington Post. So large is the number of letters I receive from readers who appear to be in the hands of those legal firms who undertake to recover more or less mythical fortunes in England fortunes that are said to be lying idle and unclaimed In the Court of Chancery that It becomes necessary to state once more that the popular belief which prevails as to the existence In chancery of enormous sums of unappropriated money is a mere delusion, of which swindlers have Ions availed themselves in order to induce the credulous to part with good American money in the expectation of obtaining possession of large English estates. It is perfectly true that the funds In chancery amount to about $300,000.000. These funds are. however, not lyinff idle or unclaimed, but are the property of suitors in the court and are held for them by the government under the orders of the court. Their ultimate destination Is perfectly well known and the interest on them is thereto. The amount of dormant funds in chancerythat is to say, funds which have not been dealt with for fifteen years or upwarddoes not exceed $5,000.000. One third of this amount is in sums of less than $500, and very few amount to over $5,000.. A list of them is published in the Official Gazette every three years, and it may be added that in the vast majority of cases persons ultimately entitled to lecelve the money are known to the government. So when lawyers and agents offer to people in this country their services for the recovery of large fortunes lying dormant and unclaimed in the English Court pf Chancery, tneir good faith may bo questioned. While there is no money to speak of lying unappropriated and unclaimed in th Court of Chancery, there is. however, a gcod deal of money of this kind lyins unclaimed in the hands of bankers. 1 do not know how matters are managed in this respect in the United States. Hut in England there is hardly a single bank which has been in existence for any length of time that does not have in its possession a more or less considerable sum in the shape of unclaimed balances that is to say, balances for which no application is forthcoming and the owner of which has disappeared. There are plenty of people who, when dying, fail, either through carelessness or neglect, to leave any record or indication of the nature and locality of their bank balances, and very few executors take the trouble of going from bank to bank and instituting an investigation. In the cases of banks which have been in existence for 350 and 2o0 years these unclaimed balances amount to something enormous. So great has the scandal in the matter become that the government has finally decided to secure the enactment of a most stringent law compelling all banks to publish periodically a list of all unclaimed balances, giving the name and last known address of the depositor and the amount at stake, and after the lapse of a certain length of time turn over such unclaimed balances to the national treasury. All Intestates forfeit their property to the government where there is no kith and kin. pnd it Is held that unclaimed balances are on the same footing. Moreover, if any heirs were eventually to turn up for these unclaimed balances, the government would be. to say the least, quite ts responsible as the banks to the next of kin. It is held that If the list of these unclaimed balances in the possession of the various banks were published annually there would be but a very infinitesimal amount left unclaimed, nnd this being the case. the retention of the money by the bank?, as well as the secrecy observed in the matter, partake of the nature of fraud. ' An immense amount of opposition Is beins? raided to the projected legislation by the government in the matter by the banking element, who are. indeed, showing so much concern about the matter as to give color to the story according to which a number of banks will bo involved in ruin if forced to surrender their accumulations of unclaimed balances;, while the very fact that they should resist the proposed law with such vehemence indicates how important Is the size of these unclaimed balances, of which they have had until now the free and untrammeled use. Meanwhile, I would advise all those people in the United States who imagine themselves to be heirs to unclaimed English fortunes to turn their attention from the mvthical. dormant and ownerless fortunes faWly alleged to be in the keeping of the British Court of Chancery, and to wait until the time when, after the enactment of the measure now prepared by the government, an official list will be published of all the unclaimed hundreds of millions of dollars now detained without any knowledge on the part of the public or of the government by the joint stock and private banks. ' Leaving a Loophole for Eneape. Philadelphia Record. A young man took his gold watch to a fashionable Chestnut-street iewelry establishment recently to have the photograph of a young woman placed In the case. He just wanted it pasted on. "Why don't you have it rvtographed directly on the inside of the case?" asked the salesman. "We can have it done fo." you for $3, and it is so much more artistic." Xo; the young man didn't want that; he thought it would be well enouch to have it pasted on. "You see. you can't always tell about these things," he finally said in a burst of confidence. "You can't always tell how they are going to turn out. or how long thev are going to last. A friend of mine had his girl's picture photographed on his watch and then, after a while, the whole thing was declared off. It put him to a lot of trouble, embarrassment and expense. When it's Just pasted in. If anything happens, all you have to do Is just to scrape it off. I guess I'll have this pasted in." A 3Iurderona Governor. Nlroku Shinpo (Japan.) Last year, when the Boxers in Manchuria rose in arms and attacked Blagovestchensk, over five thousand Chinese residing in the town were drowned in the Amur river by order of the general, who has since been called "the Murderous Governor." Having once been asked If it was not too cruel to drown them all, the general coolly answered: "The Chinamen themselves have invited their fate. If they had not Invaded the Russian province and destroved the railway they would not have met such a fate." It is said that no care has been taken by him to distinguish peaceful citizens from armed soldiers, as his orders are to kill indiscriminately. In fact, he Insists on wiping out a nation by killing old and young until there Is not a Finle soul left to oppose him. The governor well deserves the . UÜ.

RETAIL TRADE CHECKED

BUT GEXEHAL CONDITIONS AHE I1ETTEH THAN EVEIt IlEEOUE. Prosperity in Iron nnd Steel The Cerealu and Textile Excellent Showing in Quarter Enilnren. NEW YORK. April 3.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: Speculative activity, seeking expression in the markets for securities, cereal.-5, raw cotton and some hog products, has rather tended to obscure interest in general distributive trade, which has, however, been temporarily disturbed, in retail lines, at least, by widespread unfavorable weather conditions. While the general tendency of this speculation has been bullish, a marked exception was that furnished by bearish movements in whtat and corn, which have lowered the level of these products for the time being. The general consensus is that retail Easter trade has been, to some extent, curtailed by rains in the cities and by bad roads in the country districts, but, as above noted, these are really only temporary phases, and the general outlook, alike as to crops and as to spring trade as a whole, is in a high degree encouraging. The textile trades continue a source of discouragement to manufacturers, but the strength of raw cotton, despite some recurring weakness, shows that at present prices, which are c above last week, that staple has developed some friends. Liquidation of tired holders in wheat, and a drive against the leading Chicago bull interests in corn, have brought about a lower range of values, but it is worth noting that a heavy export business has been done In wheat at the decline and both of these cereals closed above the lowest. The statistical situation of lard has been Instrumental in bringing about a sharp rise, sympathized in by other hog products. It is hard to see how iron and steel trade conditions could be improved, from the standpoint of the seller. Demand is large, prices are strong and in raw and finished lines the outlook is regarded as very satisfactory. Price advances have been largely confined to finished products, the features being an advance of $2 per ton in plates at Chicago and of $4 in steel hoop prices at Pittsburg. Southern iron is strong, and the change in this branch of trade Is well illustrated by the fact that some old export orders are being shipped at a price $4 per ton lower than those now ruling. Iron ore rates have not yet been announced, but contracts for Bessemer pig are being made freely for delivery two or three months ahead. Eastern shoe manufacturers are hurrying shipments to complete spring orders and the aggregate for the week is again in excess of last week and year. Leather Is firm at Boston. At Chicago large users have supplied their wants and sales are small, but tanners are holding prices steady. Hides are weaker. Weather conditions, except in the Northvest, have been unfavorable to planting and ground preparation. This is particularly true in the South, where cotton planting is retarded. Heavy fertilizer shipments point to a large Increase In acreage in South Atlantic States. On the other hand, heavy snows in Kansas and Nebraska and no less heavy rains in the central West have benefited winter wheat prospects, which In Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri are reported excellent. Wheat, including Hour, shipments for the week aggregate 4.&iS.tiH3 bu., against. 4.4W,C15 last week, 3,Ss6,!63 in the corresponding week of im and 3.CS4.SOO in ISM. From July 1 to date wheat exports are 155.821. 41'ß bu., against 151.019.C13 last season, and iS.SOO in l&tS-OO. Corn exports for the week aggregate 2.fX),541 bu., against 3.5S2.943 la.n week, 4.3G1.E&1 in this week a year ago, 3,72i,54 in lSW. From July 1 to date corn exports are 148,538,703 bu.. against 100,213,20-j last season and 131..073 in 1S9S-W. Business failures in the United States for the week number 1S8, against 1!S last week, 182 in this week a year ago and K0 in 1K. Dun's weekly Review to-morrow will say: "While the general business world has looked with amazement at the performance of the stock market, trade has maintained its even course and there are many points of gain. In dry goods some sellers have withdrawn offers at recent low prices, though buying is small as yet. Collections in all lines are unusually prompt, and in the building trades contracts have been entered into sufficient to furnish a decided impetus in all lines during the spring season. No sign of lessening demand-has perceptible in any branch of the iron and steel industry. Mills are accepting contracts for the closing months of the year, and there is every indication that 1901 will surpass all records in the quantity of pig iron consumed by manufacturers. Regular quotations have not altered, except for bars and foundry pig iron, although all sorts of premiums are paid -where prompt shipment is required. Although fewer ovens are active in the Connellsville region than a year ago, the output is much larger and about 3,0u0,000 tons were made during the quarter. Commercial failures in the first quarter of UX1 were 3.333 in number and $31,703.43; in amount of defaulted liabilities, of which 710 were in manufacturing, for $12,504,222, and 2.4CS in trading, for $14,532,906. with 157 others not properly included in either class that owed $4.C46.S58. Banking defaults-numbered twenty-one, with liabilities of $3.441.389. While exceeding the Fame three months of last year in number, failures were much smaller In amount, commercial and financial insolvencies together showing a decrease of $21,532,180. Only two years of the last twenty made a better showing, either in aggregate or average indebtedness to each failure, while the proportion of $20.74 to each firm in business and $1.00 to each $1,000 of solvent payments through clearing houses are records that were surpassed but once In two decades. For the month of March total liabilities were much smaller than for the corresponding month of any year since monthly statements were first published. These figures indicate most undeniably that the new century has opened with business on no uncertain foundation. Thin Week Hank ClenrlngM. NEW YORK.

PITTSBURG, Pa.. April 5. The demand for tin and terne plates is unusually heavy, and next week will find every plant of the American Tin Plate Company in full operation. The Star works, at Twelfth and Aetna streets, will start In full on Monday. This plant has been idle since June 30 of last year. It is an eight-mill plant and employs about five hundred men, the daily capacity being from one thousand to twelve hundred boxes. All the independent tinplate plants have been in continuous operation since the new scale went into effect, on July 1. One concern has its entire product for the year sold. Contrary to expectation, the combination has decided to continue present prices for the third quarter of the year. Orders for early delivery, however, command a premium of 20 cents a box.

Indeed.' there was not enough ready money in the whole party to mak a decent table Make; so to pass the time we began playing, using beans to make our bets with. "Now. poker with nothing to Wt except beans is not wildly exciting, and 1 was very much amused to see the w.:v Jones played his hands. The rest of us made a joke of the matter, plunging and LluHir.,? with the knowledge that we had on!y to dip our hands into a s.iek of beans near by when we needed more fund. laurhing and telling funny stories the meanwhile, and having a good time generally. But not so Jones. To him. apparently, it w.is a serious matter. Not or.ee did he permit himself to smile. .Seldom did he lift hi eys from his -?rd. playing his game as if thousands of dollars were at stake instead of beans. He meant io have every benn before we got through, and he did. too. for when the game ended all the beans in camp had been transferred to his pile. "I came away without going into the deal with Jones, although it promised well. I was afraid that I didn't understand the gam. and I hardly eared to take the chance of seeing the few b. ans I have gathered togemer by many years of hard work go into the pile that he, already possesses." WOMEN AS VOTEHS.

Side I.iuhtN on n Qnendon Thnt Olstinutely Decline to Die. Atlanta Constitution. The discussion of what is called women's rights, pushed by professional agitators who have largely abandoned the field of womanly economics, is now giving way to tho more sensible consideration of the rights of taxpayers, in which sex should bear no part. Thus it Is pointed out that in New York nay, all over the country Helen Gould has an enviable reputation for executive ability and benevolence, in using her vast fortune. But any beggar to whom she gives alms has more power to decide some questions concerning that fortune than the owner of it. As has been said of another woman, "She pays taxes to have her street kept clean, and is also obliged to pay a private individual the yer round for the same purpose because of the neglect of the street-cleaning departmenL She pays taxes to have the liquor laws enforced, and she can look out of the front door and see them violated dally." This is a view inK which the equities of life enter and point? to a condition In which great wrong has been done taxpayers. The Chicago Post gives an instance of this when it gives an ordinary happening, thus: Many Cnicagoans must remember what some years ago was known as' the "South I'ark steal." It bankrupted a large number of women who owned lots at that end of the city. They were all women of email means teachers and others who had save! their slender earnings. so that In their oil age they should not come upon the county; widows" and orphans, whose mala protector had made a? good provision for their dear ones as possible In bequeathing them quarter sections in the new subdivision. What happened? At a meeting of the men property holders it was decided that a par would increase the value of the adjoining property in the end, although for soma years the improvements would necessitate extremely high taxation. The plan i-pelled riches to the large, but destruction to the small land owners, the latter being chiefly women who had no vote on the question. Taxes were raised enormously. Only thi wealthy could afford to pay them. Ixt after lot was sold for taxes. It was vlrtuallv confiscation. In England, where even manhood suffrago does not prevail in its entirety, the women are better off, because all property owner have an interest. In municipal affairs. The can vote for the administrators of pubiio taxes and are eligible to seats in sehool boards and other bodies In which their interests are such as to call attention to them. It is an anomaly that the hired negro in tho box can vote a tax on tho carriage he drives, while the woman who owns it is powerless to resist.
