BUSINESS IMPROVING.

CIDED GAIN.

New York Markets.

NEW YoRK, March 13-The situa-
ton continues to improve at this cen
tire, and 10 soue lines the gain is very
marked, although in others the inn
provement is more Of slow, steady
character. One important develop
ment has transDired, however, which is
taken as an Indication Of better times.
Itisin the shape Of a distinct gain TO
the iron and steel manufacture during
the past few days. This industry is
generally looked upon as a very good
barometer of trade generally, hence the
improvement is taken as an encourage
ing sign, not only for the line which 10
represents, but for trade as a whole. In
other lines such as textile and WOODEN
manufacturers, the leather and shoe
industry, groceries and oils, liquors.
and hardware, the gain is sJill appa-
rent, but continues OF a somewhat lower
nature. It is, perhaps, more healthy,
inasmuch as il is a SINAI, but steady
gain, and i'm many quarters is regarded
as mole wholesome than rapid bright
enrEup, with chances OF subsequent
deprsssions.
III is NOTICEABLE HOWEVER
that although the present demand
grows stronger. buyers still show an in-
disposition toward undertakings roach
ing into the future. They prefer 90
handle goods quickly az present prices,
rather than hold them in anticipation
OF higher values.
In most instances the prices OF maui
featured goods are steady, but they
cannot be- described as firm, although DC
Is the opiaion in the various trades
that present prices viii be maintained.
The purchases of goods are growing
heavier aud collections arc reported as
favorable. In the opinion OF the leading
houses here the increased Improvement
is 90 some extent owing 90 10 being the
season when dealers generally begin re-
plenishing stocks, and that the present
activity is largely brought about by the
filing OF such orders. Mail
ORDERS ARE SLIGHTLY LARGER
than a week ago and the distribution OF
general merchandise is likewise slightly
Increased. Am lines report steadily
maintained inquiry, aud many Of them

outof-town buyers still continue 90

Immediate wants only, bun 10 the ma

He was confronted at the door by q
masked man, with a drawn revolver.
who ordered him to throw UP hts hands.
Ferguson drew his revolver and com

the fire and sent one bullet through the
messengers shoulder and one through
his hand: he then jumped from the
train and escaped. He Is undoubtedly
wounded. He made no effort to secure
any of the money in the car.
The robber was probably scared of
by the bravery OF the express messen-

where his wounds were dressed, and
his car transferred to another man. II
liz believed that more than one man
was interested in the attempted rob-
berry. Just before reaching Eureka. a
bomb exploded under the wheels of the
engine. This was the signal to stop,
and at this point the robbers confeder.
ates would have boarded the train. Rut
when the messenger started for the
rear car, the robber on the platform
found II necessary to begin business at
once, and the plans OF the gang were
frustrated.
The explosion is supposed 10 have
been caused by dynamite. The head
light was extingulshed, the pilot partly
blown away and other parts OF the
front end of the engine damaged, but
nobody hurt.
When the train reached Pacific, three
men,, who said they were Hiram Lowry.
Henry Cullen and Dovney Stewart, and
were riding on the blind baggage, were
taken into custody on suspicion of
being implicated In the attempted hold
up. The men, who were unarmed,
stated that they were railroad en-
ployees stealing a ride.
