pun.s REPORT.


The Weekly Report Of the Condition q NE
Country's Business.
New YORK, Feb. sa-R. @. Dun & Cos
weekly review Of trade says: While the
prevailing impression in business circles
is rather less confident than 1t was B
week ago, there are several signs Of inn
provement Cooler weather has caused
little more activity in some lines Of
trade. Wheat is little stronger and,
without clearly defined reason, there is
firmer tone in Eastern iron markets,
while the reduction in the Bank of En-
gland rate from to per cent, with its
large gain of s4,S15,OOo gold during
the past week, diminishes the
chance Of inconvenient demands
from abroad. On the other
hand, general trade is not increasing in
volume or in profits, and while its sound
ness is indicated by the occurrence Of
fewer failures than many expected as
the result Of phenomenally unreasonable
weather, the complaint of slow col
lections is common and rather increas-
ing. Wool sells slowly. coal is very
dull, hardware dull, liquor trade fair,
tobacco quiet, with slow collections, and
the grain trade generally depressed,
with collections very poor.
Wheat exports are still much above
last years and the price has risen az
cents. with reports of injury to the grow
ing crop. Corn exports largely exceed
last years and the price is a cents lower,
with oats q cents lower. Pork products
are steady and moving outward fairly,
and oil, after decreasing a million in
the value Of exports in January, has de-
clined 1 4 cents for the week. Specula-
ton in coffee is stronger at 20 cents, but
sugar has not changed. 1t is difficult to
account for better tone which clearly
exists in the iron market here and at
Philadelphia, unless it be due to hope
that Southern iron, which is now NOV
ing from Sheffield at $3.50 per ton to
Pittsburgh and selling there somewhat
largely, may hereafter affect Western
rates more than Eastern markets.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the past
seven days number 27l. For the same
week Of last year the figures were $40.

NOT the MAN.


The Han Arrested at Sc. Len - q Greats
Suspect Probably an I.tAocent Party.
CHICAGO. Feb. SOL. b Kelley, the
book canvassef. arrested in St Louis
charged With completely in the Cronin
tragedy, arrived in Chicago yesterday
and was at once taken to police
headquarters. Mrs. Conklin and Frank
Seaman who saw the person whom
Cronin drove away the night Of May =
we're promptly given look at him. but
both failed to identify him as the driver
of the famous white horse. Scanlan de-
clared himself positive that Kelley was
not the man. yts Ttt
It was in Chief of Police M~Sh's
private office that Mrs Conklin and
Frank Scanlan confronted Kelley. Out
side were members of the Cronin COM
mittee and horde of others interested
in the case. John D. Kelley, . brother
of the prisoner, was in the throng, but
he. like the rest, was disappointed in
attempting to get a glippse Of the
prisoner. On the arrivalof Mrs. Conklin
and Scanlan, Kelley was seated near
Chief Marsh, opposite the door. and
about him stood the officers whol
went to St. Louis. Conversation
was being conducted in whispers.
and there was a general feeling that the
grand denouement was TO take place.
After some delay Chief Marsh said:
"Stand up, Mr.. Kelley" The prisoner
arose in full view of all Little ner-
vousness was evinced by the prisoner as
he stepped out and allowed Mrs. Conk-
lin to scrutinize him. He looked her
in the eye, and she, after taking sur
vey Of him from head to foot, turned to
Chief Marsh and said: That's not the
man who called for DR.. Cronin."
The prisoner then walked up to Scam
Ian, who was but q moment in reaching
the conclusion shat is not the man /
saw in the buggy with the doctor"
The silence for moment was op
pressive. The prisoner alone looked as
if heavy weight had been lifted from
him, while Detective Thomas, who ar
rested him in St. Louis, dropped his
eyes and seemed to feel as il the weight
so suddenly lifted from Kelley had
fallen on him. -
Mrs. Conklin and young Scanlan say
Kelley's general resemblance to the
driver Of the white horse is not very
wide off the mark except the eyes,
which were different altogether.
Kelley will be brought before others
to see If any one can identify him as
"Simonds," the man supposed to have
purchased furniture for the Carlson cot
tage.
Chief Marsh has secured score of
specimens Of Kelley's handwriting taken
from st. Louis hotel register, which
he declares resemble closely the hand
writing of the mythical Simonds on the
lease for the Clark street fiat and the
receipt of A. ii. Revell & Co.
