CROP NEWS OF IMPORTANCE Certain Unfavorable Reports Appar- ently Have Been Exaggerated— Goods Shown by Advance. Iron Firmer, as NEW YORK, April 9.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade today says: Conditlons of business are still irregula but the volume of trade continues heavy Certain unfavorable reports have appar- ently been exaggerated and their effect on business is out of real importance to thelr real significance. Much this year depends upon crops. No action has been taken to ascertain the production of pig iron, but several more furna have blown out thelr stacks and others are expected to do likewise. A proposition has been ad- vanced am merchant furnacs some of the largest Penusylvania districts to shut down for th ys betwee now and Jul Insofar and for pig iron is concerned condit e, If anything more qulet than in the preceding weeks, but prices now show some resist to the deciining tenden exhibited making fron. Producers on coke talling more freely in response to the blow ing out of furnaces and it |s estimated that the weekly output is 100,500 st the end of March, In the situation is somewhat mixed and no great amount of business is being done. Important contracts for structural material are pending, Rail requirements for the railroads apparently have been malnly filled and two export orders call for 25,000 tons. The primary goods in the market are steadier, but still ruie very quiet. Dry goods are a shade firmer, as shown by an advance of a quarter of a cent on drills and sheetings and curtall- ment is steadily increasing. It is seasonably quiet in the jobbing trade, but retailers buy steadlly and carefully without desire to anticipate in the immediate require ments. Duplicate orders for fall men's winter wooiens are coming in, but the trade in worsteds rules quiet More favorable rices in the worsted yarn markets prom- inishing e wider buying in the near future. Dress | #oods trade continues light. A good volume of new orders tor the next fall run have been received by shoe manufacturers in all sections of the coun- wry. Shoe shipments from Boston for the week are slightly larger Sole leather is stronger and the laigest tanner announces | wn advance of § Lo ¥ cents per pound. Sole Jeather tanners are well sold up and booked shead on some grades. Some kinds of upper leather are selling well, but other descriptions continue neglected. Sales of western packer hides during the last ten days aggregated about 175,000 hides and this has served to steady the market. Bradstreet’s Review of Trade. NEW YORK, April 30.—Bradstreet's today says: Cold weather with snow west and south Nave checked retafl trade and dulled re- order business In spring goods, while the | ns less than | lines | reports of crop damage resuiung trom the| return of winter weather have resuited inf dulling* fall trade, pending the ultimate{ crop outdome. Taken as a whole the re-| ports from jobbing and wholesale tradc lines and industries point to a slowing | down rather than a quickening of demand, and the downward tendency of many com moditles does not scem to have brought out much new business, the feeling being | apparently that buying ‘only to fill actual | needs is now the part of conservation, pending clearer views of crop and price over the country he textjle trades fail| to reflect much expansion of demand. The cotton situation still is unsettied aud ex- | tensic of curtailment is bein, dvocated, while the wool market is easier both foi old and new supplies. 1n the {ron and steel | trades pig iron production is in excess of | demand and some furnaces are blowing | {out. The inclement woather temporarily | checked building operations, but activity in| that line is still manifest. The leather and | shoe trades are quiet, but eustern shoe shipments are equal to a year ago. Prices of commodities tended down- ward, which is a possible reflection ot faith in future supplies and of crop damage be- | ing exaggerated. Food products are gen- | erally lower at wholesale. | Business failures in the United States for the week ending with April 28 were 19, | against last week, 208 in the like week | of 1909, in 1808, 163 In 1607 and 139 in 1906, Busine: fallures for the week in Canada number twenty-one, which compares with fifteen Jast week and twenty-one in the| | corresponding week of 1909. | _Wheat, including flour, United States nd a xports from the Canada for the week | ending 25 aggregate 2,009,219 bu., against 72 bu. last week and §93,312 bu this week last year.

Democratic Delusion, KEARNEY, Neb., April 20.—To the Editor of The Bee: At present when real or imag- inary dissatistaction with the administra- tion and republican leaders in congress exists or is supposed fo exist, it is some- what amusing to observe the democratic D cagerly holding out landing nets to capture the dissatistied ones. “‘Come into our fold,” they cry, “all ye disgruntled republicans! Wo are still the same old party of reform and stand for those prin- ciples that you advocate.” This is amusing because so utterly bare- faced. History as recent as the last con- Bress refutes it. When Aldrich needed votes to carry his taritf measure, which Is measure that is supposéd to be the chieg | cause of dissatisfaction in republican ranks, he found no difficulty in securiig enough democratic support to carry it.. And to, think of Roger Sullivan, Tom Taggart of French Lick Springs fame, or Tammany Murphy at the head of a reform party. Is to smile. Of a certainty it is to smile. The somewhat vacillating' Peerléss One, who has spor forms, is discredited by his own party. And passing back.only a few years to the time when the democrats were safely | entrenched in the administrative and legls- lgtive branches of our government we see a spectacle of such cager reformers, that the most faithful democratic ‘news- passes by that period In the utmost silence. There is,” however, no doubt in my mind that the party label of any party is less venerated today than in any previous time of our history. Appeals to the voters ln name of this grand old party that Lincoln founded or the glorious party of Thomas Jefferson has no longei power to stir the heart throbs of tle. averaxe voter, dnd that this is so 18 a healthy in- dication of a more Intelligent grasp of public questions. It is this growing Intel- ligence that must be reckoned with by those who aspire to public eminence in the future. The most intelligent voter is, after all, the independent voter, Who weighy all questions of public poliey and-casts his vote in accordance with his judgment. This class has grown sufficiently large in the last ten years to act as a safety. valve on any party in power. May his tribe In- crease! N. H.

Bee: The electric light in froat of my | cally stood for various re- | | house has "been out about a dozen times within the last glx months, I call up the police” station every time the light goes out, ‘but it does ‘not make any differ- ence. There Is no gas lamp or other lignt to take its place, so we have to remain in the dark. A large number of lights have been‘out at different-times in the | south side of the city. Now what would happen If all the electric lights went out? Omaha would be in the dark. If a great houses of the Electric Light company and the Street Rallway company of Omaha we ;would have to.walk home in the dark and a great deal of business would stand still, ‘Twenty-five years agq there was a greit explosion and a fire in the old gas plant, and Omaha_was In the dark for several nights. The city council passed a resolu- tion declaring the necessity of having two gas plants, 80 that one might take the i'place of the other in case of accident, and | the gas company, promptly responded by locating plant ‘No. 2 on South Twentieth, Tt might be a good idea to have a provi- sion for duplicate power plants In any tranchises that may be voted hereafter, s0 that,Omaha ‘would never be in danger of having to walk home in the dark. MICHAEL LI IRON WORKER FOUND DEATH IN STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES Joseph Belt Fn-n:ll—l)<~ntl in Aetna Hotel with Head Buried in Blood-Covered Pillow. | John Belt, a structural iron worker, was found kneeling, with his head burled in a |bloo@ covered plllow, dead, in a room at |the Aetna hotel, Thirteenth and Douglas streets, yesterday aftcrnoon. There was no wound perceptible on the man's body or evidence In the room to indicate how he Had come to his death. ‘Apparently he had |sutfered a hemorrhage. Joseph White, day clerk in the rooming house, discovered Belt's body, when the clerk led & patron to the room, thinking it was unoccupled and intending to rent it. A chailr was propped securely against the doorknob in ‘such a way as to hold It secure agalnst entrance from the outside White and his patron looked through the transom and upon seelng the prostrate form, forced the door in. Belt had been dead séveral hours. Other roomers at the house sald they kad known Belt for over a year, during which time he lodged off and on at the Aetna. He was 31 years lold and unmar- ried, ‘He seemed always to be cheertul and without worry, The man's relatives are #aid to live in a town in Missouri. Belt was robbed of his clothing by a roommate about a week ago, He reported the incident to the police, but sald the flcod should put out the fires in the power | stolen belongings were not of much value and the loss did not disturb him. Coroner Crosby has charge of the body and will hold an inquest Saturday after- noon.
