REVIEW OF TRADE.
snow-Church Company Says Fall
Trade So Far Has Been Good.


The Snow-Church Companys weekly
review of trade says:
The fall trade easily surpasses that Of
the past two years. and In some cases
even that OF 1892. There is no doubt but
that the volume OF business is larger than
that OF 1892. but on account OF the much
lower prices fall trade will hardly come
ND to that of the banner year. large
number of jobbers expected big trade
this fall and prepared for u. but u Is
even larger than they expected. and on
many lines there will be scarcity OF
goods. Advancing prices have served to
Stimulate buying, particularly in cottons,
and merchants are taking hold freely.
The feeling throughout the country Is
far more optimistic than was the case a
year ago At that time II was felt that
while the country was gradually recov-
ering from the hard times and consider
able Improvement was on hand. gene
rally heavy trade could not be expected.
While the majority OF the reports show
ed that n good or fair trade was anti
cipated. only one quarter OF those who
sent them looked for good trade, half
OF them saving business would be fair.
and the remaining quarter expecting a
poor trade.
That we felt was a good showing 1t
was so for the time, which was but a
wear after the panic, but II was merely
an earnest OF what was TO follow. Our
reports OF to-day show truly wonderful
change for the better. A discouragIng
outlook Is reported by only a small NIL
nority, and then usually for specific and
local reasons From more than one State
not a single discoura cling report has been
received while the number OF merchants
who expect prosperous" and exec
lent or a good" fall trade Is very far
in excess of those who forecast 1t as
merely fair"
The grocery trade OF the country is dis
organized, demoralzed, and disgrurtled.
II Is not one section, enc trade centre. or
one association that suffers, but all along
the line we hear the same complaints,
because after all The conditions under

the Chicago Tribune, who sung in New

American women. In these chapters of
observation he tells very charming sto-
ry of Nine Emma Eames Story, in con-
nection with the American woman's ease
of manner. Referring to this quality:

Greaser ignorance and American i'm
morality"
Socorro, my destination, was at that
time one of the booming towns along the
Rio Grande in New Mexico. The daily
strikes in the mining districts, and the
increasing cattle interests had drawn
thither capitalists, COW men and pros
pectors from the west and southwest
states and territories. With the populative
influx came also many who could not be
considered desirable citizens, murderers,
horse thieves and gamblers Jostled elbows
with respectability, but all were too much
occupied with their individual schemes
to ask the other for a certificate Of moral
character.
Fortunately an organization existed in
Socorro which made existence unpleasant
and precarious for the outlaw fraternity.
The Christmas preceding Conklin, the ed
itor of the Socorro Sun, had been shot
down in cold blood by three Baoa broth
ers at a Christmas tree festiyity. The
Mexican alcal Justice of the peace and
the Mexican sheriff could not be prevailed
upon to take cognizance of the murder,
as the Bacas were a wealthy and influ-
entail family, comprising, IL is said. a

This neglect OF official duty had been
in vogue for a long period. Whenever a
Mexican killed an American the homicide
was Unsuitable, and If an American des-
perado killed one of his own countrymen
the price Of liberty seldom exceeded $50.
II was shortly after the murder Of Ed
