David Harpster and William Lawrence of the Ohio Wool Growers' Association endorse McKinley’s proposed wool schedule. It sets duties per pound on various wool types, including 11 cents on clothing wool and higher rates on washed, scoured, and carpet wools, with adjustments for value and processing. The plan includes standard samples in customs houses and fraud protections, marking a one cent increase on clothing and combing wools over current law. Senators last year proposed four cents on carpet wools. proponents argue the new rates favor wool growers.

Trade Condition Review From Dun and Co Weekly
The money market gains relief from Treasury disbursements and Bank of England rate cuts. February railroad earnings rise about 12 percent while iron furnace output climbs to 180 991 tons by March 1, boosting year over year production by over 20 percent yet prices weaken. Birmingham iron drops $150 and is 50 cents below Pennsylvania rivals, rails fall 50 cents, and bar iron demand improves despite looming price pressures. Cotton exports surge, rubber goods sell, and building materials remain in strong demand with rising prices. Regional trade varies with improvements in Chicago Milwaukee Cleveland and Omaha, while Pittsburgh sees solid general activity but iron weakness. Money markets tighten in Philadelphia and ease in Boston as New York exports surge but two weeks of March draw below last year. Railroad stocks rise about 75 cents, trust stocks soften, and Tennessee coal and iron trade dips. Speculative activity remains controlled amid tighter money expectations. 252 business failures occur nationwide in the past week, down slightly from last year.
