The question of whether the action ofthe Wisconsin Central was legal had beensubmitted to the attorneys of the vari-ous roads, t.ut it was found yesterdaythat about half of the attorneys foundthat the Wisconsin Central acted In strict

rmity with th recent ruling of theinterstate commerce commission, whilethe others took the position that the ac-tion was illegal.

Hopes bad been entertained that thetral might be prevailed

TRADE IS RETARDEDBY THE HUMID

WEATHERThis Merely Accentuates the

Quiet Common to the Sea-son — Manufactured Pro-ducts Going Abroad inLarge Quantities —Unpre-cedented Iron Production.

NEW YORK, April 17.—Bradstreet'3tomorrow will say: Wet weather haa

retarded retail trade and accentuatedthe quiet usual at this season. A bene-ficial factor effect of the Eastern rush,however, is an> improvement in collec-tions, despite bad roads and weather,and activity in farming work. Export

trade is still expanding 1, cotton and,corn being leaders, and manufacturedproducts are also going abroad in largevolume. Last year"s record has al-ready been surpassed. With improvedtransportation and better supplies ofcoke, iron production is surpassing allrecords. This has resulted in somefurther weakness in pig-, this, by theway. discouraging imports of foreignmaterials.

On the other hand, finished productsare in unprecedented demand, and for-eign steel is arriving in Increased vol-ume to eke domestic needs. Railwayearnings are the best ever recordedfor this season, g/bss receipts for-March exceeding those of a year ago byabout 14 per cent. 1

Dry Goods and Sugar.The high price of < otton and the nu-

merous labor troubles unsettled the de-mand for manufacti red goods. Men'swear woolen goods t >r fall delivery arereported rather ba 'kward, and rawwool has steadied slightly. The theoryadvanced last week that the sugartrade was grounding; at the bottom ha%.received support-in ihe increased priceof raw and refined} sugar this week.Coffee has weakened in the absence ofsupport from the direction noted lastweek, that of destroying low gradeBrazilian supplies, and new record lowprices have been torched by "futures."

Pig iron of all kinds moved lowerthis week. Southern foundry pig is re-ported cut below redent price revisionsat the East. Bessemer pig Iron isslightly easier. Premiums on quick de-liveries are disappearing and importsof foreign iron are finding their fieldrestricted. A feature at present in themore finished forms is the large de-mand for light rails for electrical, and

I street railways. Mills rolllng^staridard'sections are crowded with orders, (tee*billets are active, and demand, forstructural material is reported -trpassing previous records. §trerfgl£i?atold materials Is significant 18lthe softening In pig iron>*i«oppM~»i^slightly higher on the week^n^ oLUaj^,metals are steady.

NOTES OF THBICOAL TRADE.

Lake Shipments olf Bituminous BeingHeld Up.

CHICAGO, April |7.—The Black Dia-mond reviewing the' Western coal mar-ket says: Unusual features continueto obtain In the \sfestern anthracitetrade. This week practically all of thelarge companies represented In West-ern territory discontinued taking or-ders for delivery during the currentmonth. It is probaW? a small amountof business yet may. be accepted Incases here and there,' but large buyjerswho have held off'expecting to placetheir orders about the 20th to 25th ofApril and who believed they would beable to secure the coal thus ordered onthe April circular basis will meet witha disappointment.

The decision of the companies to re-fuse to take further business is largelydue to a continuance of the strikeamong the marine firemen and olleraon the great lakes. While some fewboats have left Buffalo and Erie withnon-union crews, the larger portion ofthe lake fleet is still tied up with noassurance as to when it will go- Intocommission. Vessel owners seem to beslowly breaking the strike, but at thepresent rate of process It will be sometime before they can win a completevictory.

<'hicagx> received Its first boatload ofcoal on Wednesday, the loth, when theGladstone, consigmed to the LehlghValley Coal company, arrived with 2,700tons of stove coal. The opening of thecoal carrying season this year is oneday later than last year, although if lthad not been for the strike lt wouldprobably have opened ten days earlier.A year ago the P. D. Armour was thefirst vessel to reach Chicago with acargo of 2,700 tons of coal. This cargowas also consigned to the Lehigh Val-ley foal company.

In the soft coal traie the market onspot coal at Chicago is a trifle easierthan a week ago, and large shipping in-terests say they expert a dull and quietmarket until well into the summer.The situation as to Eastern bituminouscoals in Western markets is being in-fluenced to a more *riess extent by thehike transportation situation. At Ohioand Pennsylvania loading ports thereis commencing to be:an accumulationof coal cars which cannot be unloadedowing to the congested condition of thedocks. Unless some relief is furnishedsoon as to the vessel situation it willbe necessary to div«t this coal into theall-rail trade or tot tide-water. SomeInterests are already, considering thisplan and way? of -rmtking it effectiveuntil such time as lake shipments arefairly normal.

Anyreduction in iha .iiiantity of coalmoving to the docks will be felt nextwinter, although it may be only a smalltonnage in the aggregate. Dock inter-ests have demanded all along all thetoßnage that could be moved to them.They entered the spring months with-out a pound of coal on hand as againsta small surplus in past years and theirnecessities the coming summer andwinter are therefore quite urgent, espe-cially as to obtaining as full a supplyas possible.

Among Eastern bituminous coals theonly new prices announced during theweek pertain to ocean smokeless, whichIs sold to a considerable extent in

Western markets. These prices are onthe same basis as Pocahontas, $1..85"atthe mine for run of mine and $2.30 atthe mine for screened lump. This coalIs sold extensively throughout theNorthwestern states and the new pricesare regarded as quite conservative con-sidering the advance in freight ratesand cost of mining.

In spot Illinois coals the market pre-sents little change. Illinois and Indianalump rule at around $2.25 on the spot,with occasionally inside prices namedon coal that is drawing car charges ordemurrage. Prices on mine run rangefrom $1.85 to $2 per ton, f. o. b., Chi-cago, and on screenings the market isshowing a somewhat wider range, va-rying from $1.40 to $1.50 on Illinois to$1.60 to $1.70 on Indiana, according toquality and the road over which theyare shipped.

Contracts in all branches of theWestern bituminous trade continue todrag, and it is not expected there willbe much activity here before the Ist ofthe month. Operators continue veryfirm in their views, while buyers arewithholding their contracts until thespot situation becomes somewhat firm-er. There is every evidence that fewercontracts will be made this year thanever before in the history of the coaltrade, and operators are content thatthis should be so. Outside of some de-sirable railroad contracts, which willabsorb the large tonnage of the mostimportant operations, there is no feel-ing of apprehension as to ability to dis-pose of all the coal that can be broughtout during the season.

Leading markets, including Cleve-land, Cincinnati. Detroit, Milwaukeeand the Twin Cities arc reported as ona quiet basis, with prices fairly wellmaintained on the new basis.
