WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
DAMAGE TO BUSINESS FROM THE
RECENT STORM.

Concensus of Opinion That 1t is Less
Than Expected-The Most Serious Re-
ports Come From the South-GeOrgia
Peach Trees Bitten.
New York, Feb. 17.-Bradstreet's to-
| morrow will say: The consensus of
opinion seems to be that the damage
| b ythe late storm has been less than
expected, and was, in fact, more in the
nature of 4 temporary check rather
than an impairment of underlying IA
vorable conditions. The check to trans
portation has apparently been largely
removed or mitigated, except possibly
in the case of ocean and coastwise traf-
fic, which is still greatly impeded at
many ports. From the south, however,
comes reports of more serious damage,
particularly to the growing fruit and
vegetable crops.
From Georgia comes reports of heavy
damage to the peach trees, while from
Florida advces are that growing vege-
tables in the northern part of the state
have all been killed and that the or
ange industry has been damaged. Sat
isfactory reports of resumption of
spring distribution come from the west,
induced by considerable rise in tenn
perature, and a good volume of business
is reported in the east as a result of the
receipt of delayed mail orders, though
transportation is still interfered with.
A continuance of mild weather may en-
able Some estimates of damage to WIN
ter wheat area to be made soon, but
current estimates are naturally specula
tive. Cotton reports this week are ex-
tremely light. A satisfactory business
appears to be doing on the Pacific coast
and export business is fairly active. A
good volume of business has been done
at New York and Boston, Business in
wooden goods has been quiet. Wheat
exports show a considerable decrease,
chargeable largely to interruption to
navigation, though foreign buying now
finds other countries offering supplies
in competition with this country.
Among the industries iron and steel
are still extremely active, and further
advances are reported, Consumers of
pig iron who delayed covering direct
wants are reported anxious regarding
supplies of materials.

I'M THE HnIrsE.

The house was in session just fifteen
minutes to-day, and the proceedings
were as dull as they We're brief
Speaker Brandegee was in the chair,
and the chaplain offered prayer. The
house under suspension of the rules on
favorable report by the committee on
capitol furniture and grounds, passed
the resolution appointing Henry w.
Farnam of New Haven and Francis
Goodwin of Hartford members Of the
commission on sculpture.

pointing Frank T. Preston judge and
James N. Tucker assistant judge of
the town court of Killngly. The report
was unanimous and was accepted I'M
der suspension of rules.
The same course was taken with the
appointment of Russell Frost Judge of
the town court of Norwalk
Governor Lounsbury sent in COM
munica ton on a matter that had been
willed to him by Governor Cooke. The
communication came originally from
Chairman Desmond Fitzgerald of the
Massachusetts typographical survey
commission, which was appointed by
the Massachusetts general assembly.
The communication calls attention to
the fact that the boundary marks be-
tween Massachusetts and Connecticut
are in poor condition, particularly west
of the Connecticut river. About $1,000
apiece appropriated by the two states
would meet all the expense of the work
of the survey.
The matter of Strengthening out the
kink in the boundary is also mentioned
as possible advantage to each of the
states.
Governor Cooke had promised to lay
the matter before the general assem-
bly, and he requested Governor Louns-
bury to take the matter in charge. 1t
was sent to the judiciary committee.
The judiciary committee reported q
substitute bill on the measure concern
ing claims against executors and ad-
mir stra tors The bill was tabled for
thu calendar and printing.
At 11:47 the house adjourned until
noxt Tuesday at 1890 p. m.

mitted to the governor, as statements
are required to be submitted in the
cases of all persons convicted of cap
itaI offenses. leaves serious doubts as
to his guilt of murder. He had shot
and killed a young girl of a family at
Springerville, where he had been work
ing. The theory of the prosecution was
that the motive for the crime was jeal-
ousy and great deal of testimony was
introduced to show that he was in love
with the girl and that he was jealous
of the attentions shown her by another
young man in the neighborhood.
Mata said the killing was accidental;
that is, he thought the gun was not
loaded. His statement was supported
by witnesses for the territory to this
extent; they swore that he first point
ed the gun at his victim and then
lowered it at the same time throwing
out a cartridge. Then he raised the
weapon again and fired. The inference
of the defense was that the cartridge
was thrown out by Mata on second
thought after aiming the weapon the
first time and that after it was thrown
out, like many another fool with a gun,
he reasoned that it was empty.

YAVAPAI ALL RIGHT
Politics There Are Based On Prosper
GUS Conditions.

Attorney J. E. Morrison and Mrs.
Morrison of Prescott, who have been
visiting Phoenix during the carnival.
Will leave for home this morning on a
special. Mr.. Morrison is chairman Of
the republican county central commit
tee of Yavapai county and his law part
ner, ]. C. Forrest, is secretary. Speak
ing of local political matters yesterday,
Mr. Morrison said republican prospects
in Yavapai county were never so bright
as now. The younger element of the
party is taking a greater interest in
political affairs than ever before. a

formed and the organization in Pres

colt is complete. The club is preparing
to extend it's operations throughout the
county and put things in good shape
for the next campaign. 1t IS
not the intention of the moving spirits
70 disturb the existing party ma
chinery. Nobody is TO be turned down
or thrown out. The club Will only en-
deavor to put more lie into the party,
fuse the different elements and
close up whatever breaches may
be found to exist.
The free silver sentiment Mr.. Morri-
son says, is as strong among the dem
ocrats as ever, but the silver republic
cans, to whom it was only a sentiment,
and nothing more, have abandoned it
almost to a man and returned to the
ancient faith.
The roseate prospects Of the republi-
can party of Yavapai springs in a
great measure from prosperous bust
ness conditions. The unprecedented ac-
tivity in mining is now certain to be
not only permanent but greater than
ever.

FROM DEATH TO LIFE
The Sentence of Engenio Mata
COMMITTED.

Governor Murphy yesterday COM
muted the sentence of Eugenio Mata,
awaiting death in the Jail at st. Johns,
Apache county. to life imprisonment
Mata's execution was set for Friday,
December 1, but the governor granted a
reprieve of thirty-five days. The re-
spite and Communication were both
granted on strong petitions from citi-
zens of Apache county in which it was
stated that grave doubts existed as to
the degree of the prisoners guilt and
further investigation of his case was
requested. The governor has gone over
the case very thoroughly and if the
doubts described in the petition have
not been confirmed they have at least
not been removed. The reason of issu-
ing the Communication at this time IS
that the governor will possibly not be
in the territory at the expiration of the
respite.
