BUSINESS IS QUIET.
FAVORABLE FEATURES, HOW
EVER, ARE NOT LACKING.
Widespread Confidence that FAN
Trade Will Be Good-Exports Are
somewhat Smaller than for the Pre-
vious Week-News of the World.
Season for Stock-Taking.

Bradstreet's views the trade situation
thus: while the tone Of general business
Dartakes of the usual midsummer stock
taking quetness, the number of favora-
BILE features coming to hand has not ma
terially lessened and confidence in good
fall business is still widespread. Business
in speculative circles is restricted, and the
new war taxes have had an apprecnble
effect in reducing the volume Of specula-
tive sales by so-called scalpers In grain
and securities. The tone of prices, par
ticularly for cereals, has shown a slight
improvement for the week, and detailed
comparisons with recently preceding pc
RODS are still quite favorable. Our cereal
exports continue in excess of correspond
ing periods of previous years, whsat ship
ments for the week aggregating 2,T2S,64
bushels, as against 4.716,40f last week,
and comparing with $500, 606 this week
year ago, 2,167,076 bushels in 1896, p
317 ,237 in 1895 and 2,377 $50 bushels IN
1894. Corn exports show a decrease from
last week aggregating 2,411,272 bushels,
against 2,601, 500 bushels last week, 3
1921 bushels in the corresponding week
of 1897 and S4S,36S bushels in 1896"

HiShwaymen Got $4,000.

At Dallas, Texas, General Manager
Thorn of the Texas and Pacific Railway
makes the following statement about the
train robbery on his road near Stanton:
'Six robbers, all masked except the lead
er, tagged our No. 3, west-bound express
at 10 o'clock the other night five miles
west of Stanton on the Staked Plains, be-
tween the Colorado and Pecos rivers, one
of the most desolate spots on the line. The
robbers covered the engine crew with
Winchesters, cut the express car loose,
forced the trainmen to move it on to
sidetrack and then blew is UP with dyna-
mite. Nobody was hurt, but the car was
wrecked, the sides and lotion being
blown out. The robbers then blew up the
through express safe, wrecking 1t and
badly damaging its contents. What money
was in the safe they took. Mounting
horses, they rode away to the southeast.
I have no way of knowing what the eX-
press company lost. The amount may
have been large and 1t may have been
small. The Pacific Express officials alone
know the amount lost. This, however, is
not the season of the year when railways
make their heaviest money shipments.
The Texas and Pacific Railroad Company
has offered reward of $3.50 for the cap
ture of each robber. The Pacific Express
Company will offer the same amount and
the State of Texas will duplicate it." Off
Gals of the Pacific Express Company de-
cline to make public how much money the
robbers secured, but they took all in the
safe. Rumor places the amount all the
way from $4,000 to 500, 900.

TRAIN WREt K Frs
Made a Careful Attempt at New

Made a Careful Attempt at New
Providence, N. Y.
Train wreckers attempted to wreck the
east-bound Morristown accommodation.
They dug holes at intervals on the curve
between the New Providence, N. T., sta
ton and the signal tower at the Junction
of the main line and the Passaic and Del
aware branch, fastened the ishpAates
against the track, and braced them with
railroad ties and pieces OF lumber. MI
chael Brophy, the engineer of the accom-
modation. said that he had seen an object
fitting on the track, and ON account OF the
curve was slowing up. Seeing the OBJ
struction, he attempted to stop his tram,
but was unable to bring it to full stop
until the engine had struck the first oo-
struction with considerable force, break
ing the steel rails. There were only a
few passengers on board the train, and
these were badly shaken up, but no one
was injured.

A TRUST IN CUTLERY.
EFFORTS BEING MADE TO UNITE
MANUFACTURERS.
IF the Trust Is Formed More than
$4,000 Workers, 1t Is Said, Will BE
Thrown Out of Emp1oyment-Con
ference of Mining Men.
Trust Negotiations Move Slowly.

Trust NEGOTIATIONS Move Slowly.
Efforts have been made during the past
two months to create cutlery trust.
Leading manufacturers have held meet
ings in the Waldorf Hotel, New York, at
which the details have been arranged. so
Quietly have the men worked that only
meacer information about the project has
leaked out. J. III. Parks, q lawyer, who
is said to have organized several trusts In
which J. P. Morgan is interested, has had
charge of the details. The responsible
person behind Parks is J. H. Clauss OF
the Clauss Shears Company of Cleveland,
Ohio. The trust would have been in OPP
Grafton before this if ]. W1ss & Son and
L. Heinrich's Sons Of Newark, n. j., had
proved as willing as firms IN other sec
tions. Wiss & Son make the finest grade
Of cutlery, the Heinrichs all the coarse
heavy grades. Together they employ
about 500 men. When the trust project
was first presented to these firms they
asked time to consider tt. While they
were considering it fifteen rival firms IN
Dictated their willingness to join. When
the details began to leak out the W1ss ana
Heinrich firms drew back. The plan, as
1t appeared to them, was the closing OF
their factories and other factories or less
Importance. and the location of parent
establishment in Cleveland. In other
words, the Clauss plant was to be enlarg-
ed and improved, and around it was to
revolve the active cutlery business of this
country. Clauss was slated for president
of the combine and Ciauss' brother was
slated for either secretary Or treasurer
There was a trife too much Clauss In the
plan to suit the Jerseymen. They grew
suspicious and continued to ask for time
Without the cooperation Of these firms
the trust could not hope for any great
measure of success. Therefore the fifteen
firms were compelled to wait on the pleas
ure Of the two. Another effort is to be
made. If the trust is formed more than
1900 men Will be thrown out of work.
The firms that are considered too small
to bother with will be crushed. The cap
ital Of the proposed trust is fixed at $2,-
600, 1000.
