TRADE CONDITIONS.
Activity IN Iron ContiHues-Wcol
Market Dull.

NEW YORK, Nov. Pr. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
With reasonable promptness business
is recovering both activity and tone and
fortunately without the sharp rise i'll
general prices which was seen in the
spring and which was followed by sud
den and serious transition to a more nat
ural range With general confidence pre-
vailins, the current change is naturally
toward better level of prices, but with
out excitement. Manufactured goods are
raisiEg in response to a better demand
from distributir. sources. helped at the
end of the week by tie more seasonable
weather Business is not yet what it
was on the top Of the wave of industrial
prosperity, but the working force is fast
increasing. The ordinary measures Of
business reflect increasing operations at
all points, but the textile markets are the
point of last response to the improved
undertone Of trade.
Recital of conditions in the iron and
steel market has become monotonous
repetition. Each week there is the same
record of activity SO generally distributed
that everything, from the raw material
to the finished product, enjoys share.
There is also the same freedom from
speculative accumulation in anticipation
of fancy prices that has been for weeks
the most encourage feature. J. he mar
ket is not rampant. but shows a whole
some improvement in the consumptive de-
mand.
Two factors initiate strongly against
activity and strength in wool and wool
. ems. Mild weather has been the chief ad-
verse influence, reducing sales far below
q normal volume in this vicinity, while
liquidation of embarrassed concerns
threatens to throw considerable guam
tity On the market at forced sales. In
the light of these disquieting features ii
is not surprising that sales of wool at the
three chief eastern markets declined tc
5.3oA,3o1 pounds against S,3o2,OOC
pounds in the week preceding and 49,
S10,392 pounds year ago.
Undaunted by recent reverses specu-
lators in cotton advanced the price about
$3.50 bale in ten days. Estimates
have fallen below 100000 bales be-
cause of the slow movement and this
fact, together with last months record
breaking vaiue of exports, forms the
| basis of present prices.
Failures for the week were 23S in the
| United States against 191 last year and
| % in Canada against % last year.

CHILDREN BEING LOCATED. .
Enumerators Think Former Reports
Were Padded

The school officials are making COM
meadable Roadway in locating children
who happened to be overlooked by the
enumerators. and it is believed that
IN O few days more all the little ones
Will be accounted for. and then all will
&c Well for the present season. The
enumeratorS cannot give any explana-
tion that would throw light on the mix
up. but some of them make no bones
OF the statement that their canvas was
thorough and that the whole trouble is
due to padded" reports that have
bseh sent in in the past. There does
Not appear to be any truth in this, and
those who take this view Of the mat
ter would And it pretty hard to make
coed their contention SO long As the
children are being found in dozens in
all parts of the town. But what mat
ter absut that? The system il far
from what it ought to be- anyway, and
no doubt little reflection on the part
Of the school board will show them the
necessity Of making 4 change as soon
as possible. Under the present plan
the work has to be done in ten days.
and considering the territory the emu
meratorS have to cover and the difficult
~ they experience in many places in
getting the Information they desire.
the time is too short for complete
Job OF course, it is an easy matter
fer people who are looking on to sug-
gest remedy. but probably if some
of the critics were entrusted with the
work they might not do any better.
and perhaps not as well as those who
IRE at the helm. But be that as it
may. it seems that it would be a wise
move to employ an enumerator for
fef7 ,1y. CIV IN,
stead OF seven. and in this way the
hurry to finish up on time would not
be as great as it is and the results
could not but prove more satisfactory.
| There would not be so much money in
! the lob for those who would receive
| the appointments. but even so, they
would not hGye'tO give it so much of
their time, and things would be pleas
antcr all around. The enumerator los
es cents for every child that escapes
his notice. and, the city is out the per
capita tax. 1925. SC that it must be
plain to everybody that the work is i'm
portant. If something had not been
done this year to look up the children
whom the enumerators failed to find,
the city would. have lost in the neigh
borhood of s.. 600 on the state tax. and
with the course that has been pursued
although it was the best that could
have been adopted under the circum-
stances, it is admitted that few hun
dred dollars will be lost. for there is
not time enough to locate children that
are not enrolled in the schools and who
have not been reported by the enumer-
ators This is big question and
those TO whom the public look for the
proper solution CT the problem. If such
it might rightfully be termed. should
see that the bungling Job of the pres
ent year does not occur again.

POLICE COURT DoINGs
Bound Over to Superior Court Charged
With Theft.

It was ten minutes after the usual
time WHEN city court was held to-day,
Judge Burpee and Prosecutor Ddrant
having gone to New Haven to see the
football game without having left
word to that effect with any OF the
other Judges. Henry Lawlor, a sur
yivor of the Spanish war, young fell
low we'll known about town as very
cratic when he has partaken of any
drink, was charged by his uncle, Mich
ael j. Lawlor, with making = disturb
ance at his saloon on South Main
street. Mr. Lawlor testified that he is
the AccuSed'S uncle. Yesterday he en-
tered the saloon and snatched q glass
of beer he was flliRg. Then he in
vadsd the kitchen and threatened to
kill Mrs Lawlor, and in other vays
created = furere among the women OF
the house. In the opinion OF the com
plainant the accused was net 4 safe
person to be at large, especially when
he has any drink in him. The accused
Lawlor claimed he was very much
abused and more sinned against than
he was = sinner. He was fined IS and
costs and advised to stay away from
his uncle's place.
A laughable and yet serious case
was that of Louis Rick. who was
charged with theft of SIS from the per-
son of Hugh Timmons. Rick is an old
rounder, though only "a years old. Tim
mons is q stranger here. coming from
Bridgeport yesterday. After alighting
from the train he went to some Of the
saloons in the vicinity of the depot
and there fell in with Rick. They had
a few games of cards and a few drinks
together, though neither had met the
other before. When Timmons left the
saloon he was followed up Canal street
by Rick, who pushed him in doorway
and rified his pockets. Rick questioned
his accuser and the argument that re-
suited was the funniest that ever oc-
Cured off the stage. Rick denied the
accusation, but a woman named John
son and two men testified to seeing
him put his hands into Timmons's
pockets and Timmons running after
Rick. The finishing touches of this
kind of testimony were put on by De
tective Cahey. who arrested Rick. HE
said he had only So when 1 arrested
him." said the detective. "but, when
he was searched Stops were found on
him This left no doubt of his guilt
and he was bound. over under a bond

r. DOM PaUL'S PROGRESS.
VIII Proceed to Paris Today-sDeech
I.1r.. stIIea


DIXON, France, Nov. 24.-Mr. Paul
Kruger was welcomed here by an i'm
nense crowd. He is stopping here over
night and will then proceed toward Paris.
Though the enthusiasm attending Mr..
Kruger's departure from Marseillcs was
not SO boisterous and there was no such
crowd present as awaited him on the
quay when he landed from the Gelder-
land. he had no reason to complain of
any diminution Of warmth on the part of
the people of Marseilles.
Mr.. Kruger was up at an early hour
and was ready and waiting when his
landau reached the hotel to convey him
to the railroad depot. Amid the cheering
of a large assembly the former president
of the Transvaal entered his carriage at
9 o'clock and was driven to the station.
He was accompanied by DR.. Leyds and
Messrs. Vessels, Eloff, Fischer, Van
Hnmmel, Ranbaud and Heymens- Just
before the departure of the train Mr..
Kruger appeared on the steps of the rail-
road carriage in response to the shouts Of
the crowd and said:
.'CitizeRs Of Marseilles, I thank the
population Of Marseilles for its warm
welcome. l trust l shall find the sane
enthusiastic sympathy in all the cities
w..ich I am going to travel through, and
l hope it will be followed by actions
which will continue to assist US and re-
suit in abetting our cause

OUR EORTIFICATIONS.
Trained ArttlIerists Needed to Man
the Gums Vow Mounted.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The annu-
al report Of the board of ordnance and
Notifications just made public sums up
coneisely very large amount of expert
mental work accomplished by the board
during the past year. A general state
ment of what is needed in the future is
contained in the following paragraph:
The work of equipping our coast for
tifcations is progressing rapidly, and
large portion of the new armament is al
ready installed There is imperative need
for an adequate force Of trained artiller-
lists to care for and man the guns now
mounted. The board, therefore, deems it
within its province to invite the attention
of congress to the necessity for reorgani-
zation and material increase of the artil-
lery arm of the service.
I'm this connection, also. the board
recommends that steps be taken at an
early date to provide the coast artillery
personnel with suitable ranges and other
facilities for carrying out each year a
system OF practical drill and target prac-
tice with heavy guns under conditions
approximeting those Of actual service.
