FAVORABLE FEATURES IN TRADE.
Holidays and Ssock-Taking Period, How

ever Quiet the Wholesale Demand.
New York. Dec. .1s.--Bradstreets says:
A sensible quieting of demand In whola-
sales lines is reported as the holiday
season and the annual stoek-takinn
period approach. Chief among the "a
vorable features of the week has been
enlarged inquiry at higher prices foy
steel in various forms, accompanied by
advances in the prices of sorts mos,
affected. A correspondinsly heavy bus
iness has developed in pig iron, and
prices show hut a slight shading In face
OF the current immense production. Tire
wheat market has been less feyerisfi
and prices are practically unchanged
from a week ago, while corn, oats and
sugar are additions to the list of the
products showing advances. The un-
satisfactory outlook for cotton goods Is
reflected in reductions in bleached goods
TO the lowest point ever reached.
At the east trade in wholesale lines is
quiet, but retail trade has bfen stinlu.
lated sufficiently to allow of b fair rec
ord Of business in seasonablek hines. The
trade situation west and ndthwest is
one Of unimpaired strength although
milder weather checks distribution o,
winter wear goods.
Business failures show a ra her small.

1t VIII Depict the Brute Carr a. He
Strangied for His Crime,

Liberty, Mo, Dec. 1s.-After the ex-
eeution of Carr. the inhgnan father
who drowned his little daughter by ty-
ing a weight TO her and throwing her
into the Missouri-as he would a dog
while the poor little one was looking
with child-like trust into his face and
asking him what he was going to do,
it became known here that a thrifty
photographer had been admitted to the
enclosure with a cinematoyraph ma
chine. and that he had been permitted
to photograph the closing incidents of
this revolving tragedy in all its horrible
details.
The machine was in operation from
the moment Carr appeared in the en-
closure until the body was cut down.
and il is claimed that on a film LOCO feet
long 5000 pictures We're taken. An at
tempt will be made TO exhibit these
pictures throughout the country. When
Carr was a prisoner in the county Jail
at Kansas City the same parties per-
suaded him to recite his story of the
crime into a phonograph.
