LIVESTOCK IN CITIES
A Special Enumeration of Domeatlo
Animals Wot Found en Farms
or Bang.
In the coming census special enu
meration will be made of the number
and value ot livestock not found on
farms and ranges. The preparation
in the census office of this supplement
ary sohedule, calls to mind the enorm
ous importance of the livestock inter
ests of the country.
Statistics of livestock heretofore have
been very incomplete, because no
enumeration is made in cities and vil
lages. We obtain tellable estimates ot
the stock on farms and ranges, but the
horses and other animals in street-car,
express, livery and other city stables
go uncounted. This defect has made
trustworthy calculations about the
sources of future supply and the prob
able increase of cattle and sheep, whol
ly impossible.
The agricultural department make?
estimates of the live stock of the coun
try, bat these are also confined to stock
on the farms and ranges. Moreover
their count is made at a time of the
year January at which there are but
few young animals on hand. The cen
sus enumeration will refer to June 1,
and in consequence will include most
of the young born in 1900. The ani
mals will be classified by ages, and the
result of the June enumeration will be
as representative a picture of the stock
of the country as can be secured.

Active work is soon to be commenced
upon these properties with the idea of
bringing them to a producing basis as

SPRING TRADE SITUATION.
Favarablo Weather Brings an Improved
Retail Distribution.
Bradstreet'i says: Favorable features
continue in the majority in the general
trade situation. The hopes for the ad
vent for seasonable spring weather
have been realised, and nearly all mar
kets report an improved distribution at
retail This, as explained heretofore,
is really the key of the general mer
chandise situation. The industrial sit
uation is a rather spotted one. April
1, instead of May 1, seems to have been
fixed upon as a date for presenting new
demands as to wages and hours.
Wheat crop advices are on the whole
favorable except from the Central
West. Sympathy is shown with corn,
which in turn has been influenced by
the steady advance in hog products and
by the known smallness of reserves in
cribs and in store.
Cotton goods are seasonably quiet at
first hands, but a fair jobbing business
is doing, and retail distribution is en
couraging. Wool is on the whole
weaker, but reports from the woolen
goods branch are quit favorable.
Cancellations reported are the smallest
there is record of. Lumber bus shown
some weakness, a widely separated
market this week pointing to not alto
gether satisfactory outlook in the build
ing trades, whether because of heavy
advances in prices or ot unsettled la

Business failures in the united
States for the week number 182, as

"Yea, and let' me tell yon something,

would have to see them together
vhen they divided the money or hear
hem discuss their plans when they

The story was getting Interesting, for
he "boys" In the detective office knew
hat no matter bow much the old sleuth

So I arranged with the landlady of
