IMPROVEMENT IN SHOE TRADE

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-R G. Dun & Co,
In their weekly review OF trade, say; Busi-
ness is still sluggish, as If gorged by ex-
cessive indulgence of the appetite for buy
ing when prices were advancing. In
nearly every branch stocks not yet distrib-
uted TO consumers stand in the way OF
new orders, and competition Of produc-
ing force largely exceeding the present de-
mand puts down prices, that decline re-
tarding purchases yet more.
After the holidays men look for n larger
demand-whether large enough TO support
all the producing force awakening 10 ac-
tivity by the abnormal rush of buyers last
summer remains TO be seen. For the
present the springs of new business are
running low, but enough is doing on old
orders TO keep most of the works en-
ployed in part and a good proportion
fully.
Financial influences have not hindered
and rarely has the opening of q session OF
congress affected business SO little.
Failures In the United States for the
week have been 324, against $50 last year,
and 81 In Canada, against 40 last year.
Wheat and Corn.
Wheat has advanced about cont for the
week, though western receipts have been

year, and Atlantic exports, -four i'm

against ,SS7, ,737 bushels. The best west
crn estimates OF the crop have been raised

Corn moves from farms less freely than

pensing hospitality to half dozen
friends formerly from Kenosha county,
and a personal invitation to spend some
time with him was not to be sighted.
Mr.. Lyman is now spending his
eighteenth winter in Florida and is en-
gagged in fruit growing. His thrifty
orange grove received little setback,
but is fast recovering and in a few days
will appear again in full leaf.
Georgiana consists of forty to fifty
houses scattered up and down Indian
river, distance of mile and a half,
and contains respectable Methodist
church andmainJaius a ovnuvi Of thirty
five scholars. Several resident families
were former residents of Kenosha
county The town is located on the
east bank of Indian river and on Mer
ritt's island. This river is not like or
binary rivers, but is properly an arm OF
the ocean, mile wide, extending near
ly parallel with the coast for 100 miles,
with occasional inlets connecting it
with the ocean. Merritt's island is
thirty-fiye miles long and six miles
wide, tapering to a point at the south
end, and lying between Indian river
and another arm of the sea three miles
wide and called the Banana river. Be-
tween this Banana river and the ocean
beach is strip of land half annie wide.
Merritt's island is a famous orange
country, and, indeed, the whole coun-
try up and down the river, and Indian
river oranges bear high reputation
Mr.. Lyman's grounds extend across
the island from river to river at this
point about half a mile wide. Near the
east shore on his land is q pond OF an
acre or two, inhabited by solitary al
ligator seven feet long. He has been
frequently seen by workmen in the
vicinity summing himself at midday on
the bank. Three or four of us went
out one day after dinner to call on his
majesty, but having neither tickets nor
introduction he declined coming out to
see us.
An excursion to the ocean beach was
in order one fine day, by party of
ten, by sail of three miles across Bana-
ma River Several hours were spent
there. 1t was ebb tide and the water
had receded fifty rods, leaving bed of
sand hard as concrete pavement, and
a horse and buggy might have been
driven on this as far as we could see in
either direction. 1t was a great novel
ty to those who had never seen an
ocean beach, A barefooted lad of a
dozen years old who accompanied the
party, found special amusement III

THE FLEsCH INQUEST.
1t Found That He Met Death by Being
Struck by a Locomotive.

The inquest on the remains of Mat
thew Flesch, the lad who was killed
Tuesday by the Green Bay train, was
held Wednesday afternoon. The first
person sworn was Henry Flesch, a
brother, who said the boy had been
killed Tuesday morning while on his
way to work.
John Crawley, the engineer of the
train, when sworn, said he knew moth
ing about the affair. He had not seen
a boy on the track nor near it, and was
unaware that one had been killed until
he got to Chicago and was confronted
with a message from here asking for a
statement concerning the matter. He
locomotive and could find no traces of
blood, and he was therefore absolutely
ignorant of the affair.
Willis Hamilton, the fireman, said he
was shoyeling coal at the time and did
not look out and knew nothing about
the affair
Mary Kleist said she came along just
after the train passed by; but saw no
one lying beside the track. She was
told when she got by that some one had
been killed and went back. She found
the boy face downward. He was dead,
but still warm.
Christine L. Flesch, sister, said she
went to her brother, but could not tell
much more than that he was dead.
DR.. Pugh said he had been called
and got to the boy before he was cold.
He found the back of the skull crushed
in and made no further examination, as
he considered that sufficient cause for
immediate death.
The jury returned a verdict stating
that the boy met his death by being
struck by locomotive No. 253 of the
c.. & NV. road.
