MILD WEATHER INTERPRETERS.
The Price Situati However,, Is One
of Sustained Strength.

of Sustained Strength.
Bradstreet's commercial report for the
week says: mild weather throughout
most of the country has interfered to
some extent with the distribution Of win
ter-weight clothing and other seasonable
goods, and trade from first hands is quiet
er even than last week. Jobbers and re-
tailers, however, report steadily increas-
ing and in some regions very active bust
ness in holiday goods, groceries and kin
dred products. Favorable reports come
from Chicago Kansas City, st. Louis and
st. Paul. The price situation is one of
sustained and even aggressive strength.
Wheat is higher, and all other cereals
have sympathized with wheat. Coffee,
copper, cotton, dairy products, leaf to-
baccO and raw sugar are also among the
prominent staples which have been en-
HANGED in value. The decreases have
been few and slight Cereal exports con-
tinue very large, though showing falling
off from last weeks heavy total. Total
exports of wheat and flour from the Unit
ed States and Canada this week aggre-
gated COOS, 63S bushels, against 6,699,OOO
bushels last week. Corn exports also show
a falling off, aggregating 3,06S,OOO bush
els this week, against 4,5S5,OOO bushels
Ia week.

GREATMAIL ROBBERY
100000 is REPORTED TO HAVE
BEEN STOLEN.
Registered Matter Is Missing on a
Branch of the Genital Railroad of New
Jersey-One Postal Clerk Cannot Be
FOund-Business Outlook.
Registered Mail Stolen.

Investigation is now being made of
what is supposed to be one of the biggest
robberies in the history of the New York
postoffice. The robbery is said to be IN
the railway mail service and confined ex-
clusively to registered letters. The ex-
act amount taken cannot be learned, but
it is stated unoffically to be in the neigh
borhood of 100000. This figure is
thought to be excessive by some who are
investigating the case, but all agree that
it is the largest amount ever taken at
any one time in the registry department.
The robbery is confined, so far as lnyes-
tigation has shown, to that section Of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey which
is known as the New York, Somerville
and Easton branch. The discovery was
made on Nov. 8, but the secret was kept
by the postoffice authorities until now.
1t is known, so the statement is made,
that $4,000, the total amount carried III
two bags, was taken. This sum was miss
ing on Nov. 8. How long the defalcation
had gone on prior to that time has not
been ascertained. On the day the robbery
was discovered Robert e. Lang, clerk
employed on the New York, Somerville
and Easton branch disappeared, and has
not been found. In addition to Lang
there were employed w. ]. McLaren, 2.
S. Tooker and J. Darcy. Since Nov. Z
hundreds of complaints have reached
postoffices making inquiries after regis
tered letters that never reached their des-
tination. The chief inspector and his staff
at the potsoffice in New York have sew
eral files filled with these complaints.

TWO NICE" YOUNG MEN.
Las Vegas is Well Rid Of Two Young
Men Who Tried to Work the Con.
fidence Racket in Society.

Las Vegas society has received ter
rible shook, in the departure for parts
unknown OF one of it's star members
George M. Berdan by name, who came to
town last summer and proceeded to play
off his various accomplishment against
the acquaintance of the 400 of Las Vegas.
He could handle the drum majors baton,
was well up in military tactics, knew all
about base ball, tennis, etc, and soon be-
came a favorite in society.
A few days since he left town rather
abruptly. without the customary farewells
to friends and acquaintance. He is
supposed to have gone to Ell Paso. Ber.
dan turned out to be dead beat, and
when he left town he took with him
small sums borrowed from friends, and
in one or two instances funds of organi-
cations with which he had become identi.
fed.
From one of his lady friends he tried
to borrow money, and would have suc-
ceeded but for an accident which prevent
ed him from getting more than $40 which
he secured through being allowed to carry
her pocketbook one evening and failing
to return the same. He also got $40
from the Montezuma rihes-the price of
ball tickets which he collected and failed
to turn in.
Ole VI sen is another man of whom the
town is we'll rid He came from Denver
sometime since and secured work in the
job ard composing rooms of the Optic.
He worked the church and Sundayschool
racket we'll, and then tried to borrow
money of an unsuspeoting young lady
whose confidence he had won at church
entertainments, and of others.
