Tlio fund is to bo placed in the ban is of the secretary of tho association nnd war rants drawn against it by tho fish com missioner. This subscription list is tho result of an effort being made by tho association to exterminate ono ol the greatest enemies to the fishing in dustry.

Iron and steel buyers aro still hold ing off, most of tho business done boing for small lots for immcdiato consump tion. Relatively good reports como from tho retail trade at most centers, not withstanding the backward spring, but as yet the volume of reorder business from wholesalers and jobbers hat proved disappointing. Finished cotton and woolen goods remain steady. Wool is weaker, owing to tho re stricted demand from manufacturer and in sympathy with lower prices sot at many grades at the London wool sales. Relatively a good report comes from tho distribution trade in shoes, but manufacturers are hanging back in their purchases of leather, and hide are rather weaker. Relatively tho best trade report still como from tho Pacific coast mar kets, but better weather conditions at tho South have tended to brighten trado reports from that section.
