TRADE CONDITIONS ARB FAIR.
Soma Drawback Features Are Reported
by Dun, but the Outlook
la Not Bad.
F. O. Dun A Co.'i "Weekly Review of
Trade" saye:
Railroads have felt the effect! of a long
and severe winter and now have a belated
and irregular spring to retard movements of
merchandise. Labor controversiea cause
less disturbance, but still some apprehen
sion. In the great industries there is evi
dence that the volume of business it quite
well maintained for the season, but not so
much evidence of its continuance.
The iron output April 1 was 170,633 tons
weekly, against 1711,078 last month, und
185,402 a year ago, but stocks were reduced
during the month at the rate of 14.500 tons
weekly, an that actually consumption ap
pears larger than a year ago. i'ig iron it
steady, though llessemer is rather wenk.
Coal has a stronger look, though the out
put for the year is nearly K0.0ii0 tout
greater than lat year. The movement ot
wool is small anil tails below last year's,
with roach uncertainty about future prices
but mills are well employed as yet.
The outlook lor iron at 1'ittHhurg is not so
bright tiuttheglasatrade is fairly good.Trude
at Cleveland is good in manufactured iron,
and at Cincinnati foundries are active and
trade in wood-work increasing. At nearly
all points, both North and South collections
are rather slow for the stason, with tome
what active demand for money at mo-t
points.
The business failure during the last
even dayt number for the 1'nited States,
137, and for Canada, 22 a total of 209, as
compared with a total of 223 last week and
194 the week previous to the last. For the
corresponding week of last year, tbe figures
were22H. representing 191 fuilures in the
United States and 35 in Canada.

FLTROLEUM STATISTICS.
Production and Exports for the Past
Twenty Years.
According to the statistical abstract prepar
ed by the bureau of statistics, under the
direction of tbe treasury, the total produc
tion of petroleum in the I'nited States for
tbe twenty yea's ending with Iecember SI,
l:il,were4 5.177.410 barrels orjl(t,l(57,4710(0
gallons. To bold this enormous amount of
production would require l.45,7o iron tanks
of 33,000 barrel capacity. These tanks, if
placed in a row with their s des tunnelling,
allowing each tank a diameter of ninety
feet, would extend 2,315 utiles, or over two
thirds the distance across the continent.
Our exports of petroleum for the same
period were 9,223.670.148, nearly one-half
the production, and their value reached the
enormous aggregate of 1035,035,680.
Tbe year ol greatest production of this
period was 1801, and of the smallest 1871.
For the year 18H2 the oil production
amounts to about 51,500,000 barrels, and the
exports wre 740,005,237 gallons, valued at
142.283.163. During tbe earlier years, when
Kussian competition was unknown. 152,105
617 gallons brought over t36,000,060. In 1893
with an increase of 400 per cent, in the
amount exported, t be amount of money re
ceived was increased less than tfl,000,000, or
less than 20 per cent. But during the year
1871 the petroleum exported averaged over
20 cents per gallon, while for the past year
the price averaged less than 6 cent per gal
lon. The price of refined bas gradually de
clined with the increasing production and
the declining prices of the crude product

The favor with which (he new bread.
Wide with Royal Baking Powder Instead
of yeast, has been received by our best
housekeeper ami most expert bread
maker i really wonderful. "It save
all the hard and tedious work of knead
lui! and moulding," write one. "Les
than an hour from the dry flour to the
most perfect loaf of bread I ever law,"
wrile another. "Fitsh bread every
dny," ssyi another, "and that tho lightest,
finest and most wholesome, ) something
to live for." 'We relish the bread bet
ter than the old kind;" "it is ahead of
any yeast bread I ever baked ;' "the
bread was whiter and softer." "Best of
all," write an enthusiastic housewife,
"we ran eat Hie .loyal unfemcnted bread '
when freshly baked, or even when warm,
with perfect Impunity. It i actually an
nti-djspeptir."
"Tliia bread hns a nutty' taste, that
I peculiarly plenslnir," write still an
other. Thi is owinn to the fact that
the active (hs-prodiicino; principle of
the ltoynl is derived fjotn tho pure
grape acid.
The jjrent value of this bread arise
from the fact that In it urn preserved nil
Hie most nutritive elements of the flour,
some of which aro decomposed and
destroyed by'thu notion nf yeast. The los
of these properties ia what makes fresh
yenst bread unwholesome. The use of the
Hovul Bilking Powder instead nf yeast
is found to miike a liner, lighter bread,
devoid of nil dyspeptic qualities. The
nine gas cnrbunic is produced as
where yeast ia used, but it is evolved
from tho linking powder itself and not ,
from tbe flour. Thereby tho bread is
mailt! more wholesome nnd actually antl
rlyspcplic. The "Tester convenience,
where a batch of the finest bread can be
made nml baked In less than nn hour
with no dimmer of a sour or heavy
loaf, must be appreciated by everyone.
The receipt lor making this bread is
herewith jjven, nnd housekeepers will
do well to cut it nut and preserve it:
To make one loaf One ipiurt Hour,
one tcaspoonfiil salt, half n teaspootiful
sugar, two henping teaspoonfula Iloyal
Baking Powder, half medium-sixed cold
boiled potato, nnd water. Sift together
thoroughly Hour, salt, sutiir and baking
powder j rub in the potato; add aiiflicicnt
water to mix smontl,ly and ripitlly into
a still batter, about as soft as for pound
cakc; about a pint of water to o qu irt
of flour will be required more or less
according to the brand' nnd qmlityof
the Hour used. I)o not make a stiff
dough, like yeast bread. Pour the bat
ter into a greased pun, 4Jx8 inches, and
four inches deep, tilling about hull full.
The loaf will rise to fill the pan when
baked. Hike in very hot oveu forty-five
minutes, placing paper over first fifteen
minutes baking, to prcvet.t crusting too
soon on top. Unite tit once. lioiCl mix
villi mill.
Perfect success require tlio mort care
ful obfi'tvuuce of all these details, and
tho author of tho receipt, emphasizes
the statement thnt Iloyal linking Powder
only can be used becnit.se it is the only
powder in which the ingredients are
prepared to as to give that continuo;is
action nceetsnry to raise the larger breud
louf.
To every render who will write the
result of her bicnd making from tiiis
receipt to tho Iloyal linking Powder
Co., 100 Wall street, New York, thnt
company announce that they will seud
in return, free, u copy of a most prac
tical and useful cook book, containing
one thousand receipts for all kind of
baking, cooking, etc. Mention this
