REPORT ON TRADE.

Bradstreet's report on trade for last
week says:
Evidence multiplies that the tide Of
trade has turned and that 1t Is now
setting strongly in the direction Of
an enlarged business at steady or high
er prices. Crop improvement. partic-
ularly in the central west and the Mis-
sippi valley, have been the mainspring
of the more cheerful tone Of advices
and enlarged fall trade operations.
Even from the so-called drouth-strick-
en- corn belt come advices Of q quite
satisfactory business, In some instanc-
es reports being Of larger jobbing
trade than in the corresponding period
. year ago. At the great eastern CEN
tiers distribution is going forward in as
good, II not better volume, than a year
ago. Prices, except for some irregu-
larity in the cereals. have been gener-
ally quite steady. Wheat was weak

equal to the previous week and gener-
al confidence in present or better prices
being maintained. Corn has sympa-
thized largely with wheat. though
weakening on its own account on bet
ter crop advices from the states east
Of the Mississippi. where timely rains
have fallen. Net changes for the week
are slight. Some hog products, par
ticularly lard. have sympathized with
the strength Of corn.
Iron and steel show little change.

Building material is quite active, al
though the steel strike interferes with
progress at some centers. Lumber
stocks are very generally small and
full prices are obtained for desirable
lots.

SMUGGLING OF CHINESE.
Has Been Going On by Wholesale
Plan In Mexico.

washington, Aug. Z5.-PrObably the
most important arrests in connection
with the smuggling of Chinese across
the Mexican border into the United
States were made recently in Arizona,
when William A. Hoey, collector of
customs at Nogales; B. F. Jossey, an
immigration inspector; Frank Howse,
a Chinaman living in Nogales, and
another Chinaman living at Clifton,
Mexico. just across the border from
Nogales. were taken into custody by
special agents of the treasury and
secret service operatives. Other ar
rests are expected to follow within a
day or two. 1t is said that with two
or three exceptions the whole Gus
toms and immigration administrations
at Nogales are involved.
Some time ago an official of the
treasury department. having Nogales
as his headquarters. wrote to the de-
partment that he had reason to be-
lieve that the official force at that
point was corrupt and that Chinese
in large numbers were being struggled
across the border for a consideration.
A secret service operative was sent
there at once and plans laid to secure
evidence against the persons under
suspicion. Several Cinnamon were
furnished with money and sent on to
buy their way through the Official cor
don. This was accomplished without
difficulty, the price demanded being
from $50 to 5000.
The secret service men also ar
ranged with one or two employees,
whose honesty had been tested. to go
into the collectors office at q certain
time and demand a share Of the money
being received from the Chinaman and
t.. be admitted into the combination,
so that they might get their share Of
the proceeds Of future deals. This
was reluctantly agreed to and con-
siderable sums of money we're handed
over in the presence and full hearing
OF a secret service man. who had pre-
viously secreted himself In q nearby
ONCE closet.
The officials soon found that China
men who presented certificate mark
ed with the letter "A" were allowed
to proceed without question. while
those having certificates that did not
bear this cabalistic mark were turned
back without ceremony. Later on it
was developed that the amount de-
had been paid. Several China
men were sent through with the reQui-
site IA" mark on their certificates
made by one Of the secret service men.
The utmost care and secrecy was
from the first to secure
positive proof against each man under
suspicion. A special United States at
torney win be detailed to prosecute
the persons arrested. Hoey was ap
pointed collector about year and a
half ago. His home is in Muncie.
Jossey is from the state Of Washing
ton. The number of Cinnamon who
have bought their way into the United
States through the alleged connivance
Of the Nogales ofiicials is believed to
be large. A special agent has been
ordered to Nogales to take charge of
the ONCE. II he finds 1t necessary.
