A Hoosier BANK Robeer,

BRooKFIELD No., June l0.-A special train
with the bank robbers, In charge Of Marshal Nc
Arthur and fifty men, arrived here at 1:5e this
morning. great crowd received them, but no
trouble ensued. The prisoners were identified; /;
three as Frank, Albert and Fred Mason brothers
formerly of this County; the other is evidently q
new conner. Frank is tall. dark and brawney
Fred, shorter and fsirer. Albert tall and hard
looking. All are rough looking cases. Frank
Mason's wife has gone this morning under escort
to recover bag Of gold coin, about 81 4Oo. which
she says she bid under the floor OF her house.
The four prisoners were taken TO LnneUs. the
County seat, this morning. the Circuit Court be-
ing in session. The prisoners are retscent, and
say nothing of their past life. They agree in say
ing that twoof them are from Indiana. A woman
who is young and pretty, and devoted to Frank.
says she was recently from Ellsberry, Ind, and
only came to Missouri five weeks ago. She is
keen and cool, as are the men, and, no doubt, is
privy to their plans. Il is believed they viii
plead guilty.
The latest adviees from Brookfeld say the bank
robbers were taken to Linneas,- the county seat,
to-day and placed in jail. They have employed
counsel, which indicates they Will not plead
guilty when arraigned. The charge of assault to

CONDITION OF TRADE.
Review of Business IN the Principal De-
partments of Trade at the Leading
Cities.

Cities.
NEw YORK, June notwithstanding
business shows still very restricted volume,
there is an evident improvement inItbe feel
ing in commercial circles, because of the
near approach of harvest under circum-
stances continuously favorable to- a large
yield. The chief drawback to the present
situation are the strikes at Pitts5nrg and
elsewhere.
Wheat declined in the early part ef the
week, but closed at prices one to two cents
higher than yesterday on deliveries of winter
grades. The export demand is little
stronger, and there is a fair amount of spec
ulation. Corn has been more active Cd
speculation at irregular prices. Oats have
been unsettled, but close steady with more
speculation. Business quiet on local wants
In the lard and pork trade there has beer
ashetter and good speculative demand re-
ported. Higher prices are indicated by ad-
vices from the West.
The feeling in the cotton market is un-
settled.
In wool the tendency is a little upward,
though the feeling is unsettled as TO the new
crop. Stocks of desirable wools are now
very low.
The petroleum market is active and un-
settled; refined is little lower Exporters,
in view OF a large production, are indiffer-
ent. :
In the freight market there is considera-
bic inquiry for petroleum room; otherwise
very quiet.
The cheese market is very firm, notwith-
standing the large arrivals. Yesterday was
the biggest day of the season and over 10000
boxes came into the market.
Gin butter the situation is not changed
The dry goods trade has been light The
new business is not extensive. The country
trade is buying cautiously. Seasonable
weather is likely TO improve the demand,
and the outlook is better than last week in
all departments of trade
In boots and shoes fair trade is reported,
but not very active. Retailers are busy
stocks will have to be replenished soon.
Manufacturers are still active and have large
orders on hand and plenty coming in, al
though the prospects are pretty good.
The leather trade is without feature. A
trady business is being done at at old prices.
The strikes are having but little effect on
trade in American pig iron as yet Trans
actions are numerous, and the volume of
trade no smaller than before the strikes.
Scotch pig iron is quiet. The iron and steel
rail business is light.
Tea, coffee and sugars are dull.

Sugar From Sorghum.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Commission
er of Agriculture has issued a circular-letter
to the manufacturers of sugar from sorg-
hum, beets and other sugar-producing plants,
in the United States, setting forth the re-
suits of sorghum culture. Experiments
made by the Department in 'S1, from 135
acres of cane there were obtained 2,97T gal
Ions of syrup and 165 pounds of sugar at a
cost for cultivation and manufacture of S.
557. In commenting upon these results the
Commissioner says: The manufacture of
sorghum at the Department has been found
to be expensive and unsatisfactory. While,
therefore, such scientific investigation as
is deemed necessary will De continued the
experiment of manufacturing can better be
conducted by those who have thus far furn-
ished us all the valuable information we
have, and this work l refer to the manufac-
turers themselves, from whom is solicited an
account in detail of the work. The Commits
sioners say the returns when received will
be submitted to a competent Committee tor
examination, and in order to compensate
the manufacturers for the work of making
these returns, propose to pay for the two
best returns 81, 200 each. Each return must
be sworn to. For the two best returns OF
the process of manufacturing beet sugar in
this country 81 200 each will be also paid"

DOYLE win Exnlain.

WAsHINeroS, June 9.-Doyle, convicted
in Chicago of having in his possession coun-
terfeit bonds offers through counsel to prove
conclusively the genuineness of the 81, 600
bond plate, how it was obtained and all
about it. provided the Government will re-
lease him from confinement. The present
investigation at the Treasury is for the pur-
pose of aScertainlng the character of this
plate, whether good transfer work or merely
counterfeit. and if the former, to ascertain
how it was obtained from the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, and to place the
responsibility where it properly belongs.
Secretary Folger and other Treasury officials
deny in most positive terms there are any
spurious bonds in circulation, on the ground
that If any we're in circulation they GER
tainly would have known something about
before now. Doyle's friends claim he is An
innocent and misiudged man in this trans
action, and that they will prove it to the
Government. They state the bonds found
in his possession are not counterfeits, but
honds printed from genuine plate, the
issue Of which, however, was Lot authorized
by law.

CINCINNATI.

CINCINNATI, June 9.-For the first time
since April there has been nearly whole
week of dry, warm, seasonable weather, and
the farmers hopes for a fair crop of corn
begin to revive. Still there are places where
corn is not vet planted. That which APP
pears above the ground begins to assume a
better color Warm weather is rapidly
filling the market with early vegetables and
fruits, and prices decline in proportion.
There is a slight improvement in general
business, but not enough to make any
marked increase in the volume.
Groceries have had fair trade with prices
very fair
Dry goods begin to unload the summer
goods that have lain so long uncalled for.
An impetus is felt in all lines of summer
goods, but the usual activity is wanting.
In grain there has been a weakening mar
ket, except wheat, which holds up firmly,
owing to light offerings. Oats have declined
2H cents. Corn from l to 2 cents. Rye has
declined 4 cents. Barley is almost out OF
the market.
Provisions are much tirmer with decided
upward tendency except lard, which is dull
and heavy Bulkmeats and bacon have had
sharp advance to-day, and pork is stronger
and higher. Stocks are not heavy and sum-
mer packing is somewhat neglected.
Whisky went down to $l.l3, but to-day
came up TO $l.l4, and there is an upward
tendency.
Money has been in only moderate de-
mand, and has been mainly supplied at pei
cent.

was put on their track, who was only few
hours behind them when they robbed the

found indictments against all the robbers
charging them with robbing and assault to

Monday. They have employed counsel
who will endeavor to have the trial post

graphed to, asking him TO see that the terms
are carried out"

of conference n this city. Manufacturers
are in attendance from Chicago, St. Louis,
Cincinnati, Cleveland and other points.
There meetings have been held to-

fected. The meetings are held with strict
secrecy, and the manufacturers refuse to

Nands of the Amalgamated Association.
The conference is merely for the purpose
OF forming a stronger offensive and de-
fensive alliance of the manu-
facturers. The conference has adjourned.

facturers of the West was formed, its object
being to govern the question of wages as
well as regulation of card, rate, etc.
Tne meeting was the largest ever held.
The situation was fully reviewed and dis
cussed, and the opinion prevailed if
an advance was conceded this time
the Amalgumated Association would
next year demand $3.50 or s. per ton for
pudding; they then came to the conclusion
tnat they might as well fight it cut now, and
it was unanimously resolved not to ever
start mills in accordance with the present
demane, and every one present pledged him
self to adhere to the resolution.
