Bradstreet's for last week says
There is quieter tone in several
lines of business this week, indie
pendent of the reduction in volume
of distributive demand, resulting from
continued unfavorable weather con-
ditions in a large section of the coun-
try. The strength of quoted values,
however, fails to show that any ina.
terial slackening of underlying move
ments has as yet become apparent in
leading lines. Less is doing, naturally,
in leading Eastern textile markets on
the current seasons account, but an
encouraging element is found in the
readiness of buyers to placed orders
for fall delivery. While leading Vest
ern markets note that the edge has
been taken off demand, and that bad
roads and weather combined have
retarded retail distribution, and hence
affected collections in some sections,
results of the first quarters trade with
wholesalers have been so good that
their sanguine cheerfulness as to the
outlook is especially notable. Indus
trial conditions continue of most
fiattering character, with advances in
wages still a prominent feature in the
iron, steel, machinery and allied trades
III oOiH6 lluBS VI IudluldCIuflDR, III is
true, talk of projected or possible
combinations has made for some I'M
certainty"
Dun's Review notes that business
is not at present improving. There has
been something very like check, partly
the result of heavy buying since Janu-
airy LIST, to anticipate the market,
partly caused by the uncertainty about
the operation of many combinations,
and a shade of doubt about foreign
affairs also had some influence.
More evidence appears that the
wooden manufacture is not helped as
yet by new combinations or the pros
pect of them, and tho buying demand
has been disappointing in many ways,
though in dress goods active. Sales
of wool were 20, S09, 100 pounds at three
chief markets in four weeks, against
s,s77, 800 pounds last year, when prices
were held at the top. The boot and
shoe business is again hating because
of difference between buyers and sellers
as to prices, large orders being refused
and others withdrawn because dealers
will not pay advances which manu-
faoturers ask. Most of the grades are
well supported, but without contracts
far ahead. The fluctuations of the
wheat market have been large, and
tend on the whole toward higher quota
tians."

BURGLARS ON KENNETH TURNPIKE.
Residence Of James Camperson Robbed of
SO and q Coat,

$40 and a Coat.
1t seems altogether evident that all
the burglars have not yet been cap
tured, for the residence of Joseph
Camperson, on the Kenneth turnpike,
opposite the residence of Mrs. Lammott
du Pont, was entered Friday night and
$40 and coat were stolen. Entrance
was effected through window and the
lower portion of the house was ran
sacked. When the family arose Saturday
morning, the light was burning and
two chairs were found standing side
by side with cuspidor between with
indications that the thieves had been
having a cozy time. They had helped
themselves to food from the larder.
Mr.. Camperson, who had been out
of work for some time, recently secured
employment as sexton of Green Hill
Presbyterian Church, which is near
his home. The $40 which was stolen
from him is said to have been his first
pay as sexton.
The Misses Stirling, who live next
door to Camperson' were aroused in
the night by the barking of their dog
which was inside the house. A dog
was also seen outside and report as
of a fire cracker was heard. This report
is supposed to have been signal for
the burglars.
1t is reported that the house Of a
Mr.. Lowther on the Kenneth turnpike
nearer town was also entered and that
a gold watch and chain were stolen
from it.

effect Saturday morning by which the
several pilots on the Delaware River
will have their receipts increased.
This increase was secured by the
passage of bill by tho Pennsylvania

to the ono passed at the recent session
OF the Delaware Legislature. On vessels
drawing less than IL feet Of water the
pilotage charge will be 50 per half foot
and vessels with greater draught will
pay pilotage of e. so per half foot.

Southampton, Eng, March 3l.-The

there was big swirl around the rocks.
When this boat was q short distance
away from the wreck, the boilers of
the Stella burst with terrific expIo-

For many years the Delaware g. Lam
caster railroad has been matter for
speculation among the residents of
Phnnixville, Pa. There were rumors
of its purchase by the Pennsylvania,
the Philadelphia and Reading COM
panies and later by an electric car COM
pany. Some time ago il was sold to
satisfy claims against it. 1t was pur-
chased by Philadelphia firm, which
proposes to tear up the tracks and ship
the rails away. Settlements are now
being made with land owners who had
received no damages when the road was
built. The road was built IL years ago
by Capt. Potts. 1t was used about a
year, then abandoned. 1t is IL miles
in length, connecting with tho Picker
ing Valley ard the Wilmington &
Northern roads. Bridges along the
road fell into decay, the ties rotted and

A BURGLAR FolLED.

Residence of samuel shoup.
A burglar was foiled on Friday in an
attempt to break into the house of
Samuel Shoup, No. 1897 Shallcross
avenue. His scheme was all right, but
it slipped up in the execution. Mr..
and Mrs. Shoup were entertaining COM
pany in the parlor and the lower part
OF the house was lighted, whereas the
upper part was dark, and from the
burglars point Of view the outlook was
favorable for operations in the upper
part. And so, securing a long ladder
from the new houses that are being
built on Broome street between Gilpin
and Shallcross avenues, he carried it
across the intervening space and reared
1T up against the Shoup residence.
While be was doing this the persons
In the parlor were totally oblivious of
what was going on. Not so Miss Nellie
johnson, who happened to be on the
second floor. For she saw Mr.. Burglar
carrying the ladder towards the house,
and saw him put it against the wall.
Ignorant that he was observed, the
burglar started to climb the ladder.
Miss johnson, divining mis- intention
to enter the house, gave q shrek that
at once notified those in the parlor that
something was wrong. Some of them
ran upstairs to investigate, and Mr..
Burglar seized tho opportunity to
descend the ladder. The last seen of
him he was running towards Brandy
wine Park. Mr.. Shoup fired his re-
volver and the neighbors were warned
that burglars might be around. The
police were informed of the attempted
robbery. They were soon on the scene,
but the thief had made his escape. A
number of tools were stolen recently
from the new houses whence the ladder
was taken Friday night.
