Pun ft Company's "Wnpkly Review of Trade," Btiys: "nualnoHa holtlu the ground recently recovered from the point of Kreateat depression, hut. reports of future pro gress are sporadic. Geographically, the best news Is received from the went and south, and more Idle mach inery has resumed at the steel mills than In any other leading Industry. "Many manufacturers find orders scarce and there Is much complaint of high prices, while In Jobbing and wholesalo departments the large at tendance of country merchants Is not accompanied by the customary vol ume of business. Dealera operate mnst conservatively, providing only for urgent needs but low Blocks sup ply a strong statistical position that must evpntunlly produce activity In all departments. Considering the storms and holidays, February com pares very favorably with the month preceding. "Contracts for finished steel pro ducts continue FmnIl In size, but are more numerous, and the aggregate tonnage of new business Is larger for the month of February than In the previous month, which, In turn, was slightly better than December. Quo tations are tjot materially reduced In order to obtain contracts, list .prices ruling steady, and If concessions are made tliey do not appear In reports, so that the markets remain nominal ly unchanged. "Dry goods Jobbing houses are at tended by many outside buyers, pro ducing the appearance of normal sea sonable activity, but purchases are only for pressing needs. With raw cotton higher than It was a year ago and cotton goods cheaper, the pro ducer Is more inclined to curtail out put than to cut prices still further. "New England foot wear manufac turers report a few supplementary or ders, hut the market continues Inac tive and unsettled on the whole. Wholesalers contlnuo to reduce sup plies on hand, but local Jobbers an ticipate a good business next month In preparation for Easter trade. Heavy sole leather Is readily absorb ed, but light weights are neglected. Some Increase Is noted In the Jobbing demand for speclnl lines, and belting butts have sold more freely than at any time for several months. No Im provement has occurred In the de mand for hides."

The possession of a truly rarge fleet will not provoke war with other countries, argues the New Orleans Picayune, but, on the contrary. It will have a tendency to diminish the chances ot foreign countries attempt ing to attack us. The best prevention of war Is to be always prepared for It There Is no doubt that Germany's admirable army has saved her from iHtack and passible disintegration, and It Is equally certain that Great Britain's long era of peace and pros perity has been due to her great pre ponderating naval strength. A big and strong navy wculd be the surest guarantee of the maintenance of peace between us and other countries, and the sum that such a navy would cost us would not represent a small portion even of the waste and cost that a single month ot active war would occasion. What's the use of bringing In th iarrnw and the other Held implement that are standing out In the field where last used? asks the American Cultivator. They wtll be out there all ready to start work with in the spring. Spring Isn't verr fir off, and besides. It would be a good deal of trouble to bring them In under shel ter. How the Implement dealer slaps his thigh when he sees a mowing mar chhie going to pieces as It stands out In the Held subject to the preserving power ot the elements. X 4 y
