New York, March 22.--R. G.. Dun &
Company's Weekly Review of Trade.
which is published Saturday, will say:
indications of improvement in bust
ness grow more distinct. The most OBJ
structive of them, the speculative ad-
vance in cotton and stocks, is the least
reliable, nor can either of these be said
to reflect the actual Improvement in the
business conditions. The railroad earn
ings are scarcely better, and speculation
is largely based on the expectation of
a more effective monopoly in corn and
some other products. London was buy
ing largely, but likely to sell on any rise.
More valuable indications are that the
volume of domestic business gains lit
tie, money is in much better legitimate
demand, the force of hands at work
gradually Increases in some industries
and in others is restricted only by
strikes, which are presumably tempo
rary.
pig iron Is weak, without change,
both at the east and at Pittsburg, and
no change of consequence is noted in
the demand for finished products. Cop
per continues weaker at 1925 for Lake,
American products in February being
1920 tons and foreign 6,739, while tin
has risen sharply to 1879 ceats. Lead is
weaker, with heavy sales. $500 tons do
nestle and 1900 tons to foreign takers
at $3.05.
1.-THE rise in cotton has stimulated the
buying of goods and given confidence to
agents. Heavy transactions and some
advances in prices appear in southern
coarse goods. but not as yet In the finest.
While many orders are detained by la
Dor difficulties, there is also much COM
plant of cancellations which appear to
be justified i'm some cases by inferior
qualities, but in others not justified at
all. Orders for wool are at present
small, and new business has been at
standstill. There was a gradual de-
crease, and the demand for the week
was smaller than last year"
The failures have been 27S, against PA
last year.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-That the M ur-
der OF Amy Thill and the suicide of her
slayer, John Bigelow, was the work of
a madman is made more certain by the
statements to-day OF John Holden, an
intimate friend Of Bigelow.
Holden says that Bigelow has been in
insane retreats at least five. times with
in the last ten years. The last time
Bigelow was in a lunstic asylum WAS in
the fail of 1902, when he spent some
time in retreat at Hartford. He has
also been several times in the Bloom
ingdale Asylum.
1t Is Holden's belief that Bigelow's in
sanity was the result OF evere attack
OF Roman fever which he contrac ted
when two-year-old baby in Rome.
This fever is often follow ed by weak
enipg Of the brain, which brings on
periodical attacks of insanity. In John
Bigolow's case these attacks were
usually hastcned by the FREQ use of
tobacco and stimulants. An autopsy
upon the body of Bigelow YVES begun
to-day. In note book found on his
person there WAS q psss for tho Harlem
Opera House made out in tho name of
Miss Tnill. There WAS also note
which read: my darling sweetheart

number of pawn tickets we're found
in his pockets. The autopsy on BiQe-
lows remains showed that he must have
been insane when he committed the
deed. A clot of blood was found be-.
tween the skull and the scalp on the
opposite side of the head from whore tho
bullet entered, and it has been there
for some time. The autopsy on the
body of Miss Thill showed that there
had been no improper relations between
her and Bigelow.
Misc Lenora Bradley, an actress now
playing in company through the
smaller cities of the State. said aho was
in the city last Sunday and took tea at
Miss Thill's room. They talked about
Bigelow, and MisG Bradley said she ad
vised Amy to get ria of him as she was
afraid he might do something rash.
Amy, ahe aaid, told her that she, too
was afraid of Bigelow, and that she in
tended to go to MINNEAPOLIS as soon as
she could arrange her affairs.
dispatch from Minneapolis says
that Nine. Thill believes that her
daughter. ANY, who met o violent
death in New York yesterday at the
hands Of John Bigelow. was murdered
by maniac. She declared that Blgelow
was an old friend o: the family, and had
known Amy for several years. Her
daughter often expressed fear OF
Bigelow and his attentions to her.
Bigelow was very much in love with the
girl, but she steadily rejected any
nearer relation than that OF friend.
