BRADsTREET's REVIEW
A Notable Week in Trade and In
 dustry.

row will say:
 This has been notable week in trade
 ana Industry. Retail distribution stimu- | lated Dy cold weather and holiday inf1u- ences, has been very large and is re- nected in decidedly good reassorting demand from jobbers
 Holiday trade, in fact. promises to be ot unprecedented vOlume,' with demand
 Tor a better class of goods. In the great industries, such as iron, coal, lumber, the
 textiles, jewelry. boots and shoes and | the various kindred and subsidiary branches. activity has been widespread. Ihe rise In food staples and metals is the basis for the apparent resumption Tn the advance in the general level of
 prices noted -sor November. Iron and
 steel are stronger at the highest prices of the year.. Inability to obtain supplies Is complained of all the way from the furnace to the finished product. The switchmen's strike affects Pittsburg and further aggravates the car shortage trou- ble Some mills are closed for want of steel and some furnaces for a want of l fuel. Merchant furnaces are reported running only half their capacity. Steel Is practically unobtainable for prompt
 delivery. Wire and nails alone are weak | CT in price on competition. Plates are | stronger and structural mills are crowd | ed with orders. Bar steel is scarce at | Chicago. Rail buyers are more numer- ous. but sellers are indifferent. Found ries have booked orders months ahead orders TOT railroad cars are very heavy The original impetus for the advance ill wheat, the scarcity and high prices for
 the coarser grains has this week been
 aided by the widening out of speculative
 outside buying being a feature. aided by
 the smaller run of receipts at the North west. The highest ,rice paid for seven teen months has been reached in the
 fact of the largest gain in stocks both
 here and abroad, reported in any month
 for years past. Wheat in the United
 States and Canada increased 21, 900. .000
 bushels in November, an increase nearly
 five times the gain showed a year ago.
 Corn and oats are higher than at any
 time since 1891. Hog products, and pro-

Mozart's Skull.
Lnndnn Standard

The skull of Mozart which. since the death of Professor Hyrtl, who kept it in one place to another has now found its final home in the museum at Salzburg. The relic was handed over on Sunday last, with all the solemnity befitting the occa- sion An attempt was made some time ago to substitute another skull as that lessor Hyrtl, but the fraud was discoV- cred, upon which. in some mysterious way the skull disappeared and the genu- inc one was restored to its place. Every care will be taken at the Salzburg muse um of what is the only known portion that is left of the great composers re- mains. The place of his grave is forgot ten and even for the authenticity of the skull there is only the evidence of a gravedigger, an engraver and the late Professor HYrtl

WIRE NET WORK
Prevents Use of Aerial Truck In
Bank Alley.

Since the aerial truck has been In
troduced in this city and added to
Akron's fire equipment, the wires
that fill all the down town alleys have
had to be considered as a serious
problem. In case Of fire in Bank
alley if the department makes a run
to that place and attempts to erect
the aerial truck, they will be con.
fronted by serious problem. Before
they can use the truck at all they
must tear away the electric wires that
make a thick net through the alley.
In this there is danger of electric
shocks and it is not probable that
there are many firemen who would
like to take the risk. If they do not
tear away the wires they cannot erect
the truck.

GEN. DICK HAS
MUCH TO LEARN.
Political Decency Is Among the Things He
Knows Not Of

Columbus, Sept. H.. Hon. NJ. A.
Daugherty, chairman of the Democrat
ic State Executive committee, said
this morning that he would make no
reply to Chairman Dicks refusal to
hold no campaign meetings this fall.
He expressed surprise ut the tone of
Gen. Dicks letter.
Commenting upon the Republican
chairmans reply, the Columbus Clti-
zen, under the caption, Dicks Insult
ing Sarcasm" said last evening:
THE letter of Chairman Daugherty
Of the Democratic state executive com
mittee to Chairman Dick was patriotic
and m excellent taste. 1t deserved a
reply couched In the same high minded
language, but Chairman Dick used his
opportunity to indulge in sarcasm
which was wholly unworthy of the
great party which he represents. After
declining to accept the proposition of
the Democratic committee that there
be no speeches in Ohio this fall on
account Of the illness of the President
and referring TO the political princi-
Piles In which the President believes,
Chairman Dick says;
eff 1t seem best to your committee
to withdraw from antagonizing those
principles and to cease from further
advocacy OF political doctrines which
the President has always believed to
be perilous TO the prosperity of the en-.
tire country, we shall be very glad in
deed to be advised to that effect, and
to have your hearty cooperation here

her that 1t was shame that a po-
liceman should treat her that. way.
She said that she didn't care to make
complaint as she was going to leave
town.
Mrs. Nation gave the Deputy Com
missioner long heart-to-heart talk
about doing away with the liquor
traffic In New York, and left at {

her arduous labors. But she says
she'll be back later on.

after in the maintenance of more
wholesome public policles.'
president Mckinley himself would
never have been guilty of using such
insulting language as Dick INDUCES in.
The Republican chairman knows per-
fectly well that the Democrats are
just as honest in their convictions as
the Republicans and that they have no
idea of deserving their principles on
account of the attempted assassina-
tion. TO suggest that they do SO Is
to insult them. 1t is unfortunate that
Dick has not become u follower and
imltator of the President in one re-
spect; that is in uufaiiing courtesy to
political opponents"
One thousand Republicans from var
ious sections of the country have al
ready received invitations to partici-
pate in the Ohio campaign, and more
than 800 have already accepted. The
speaking campaign will excel all others
In the states history. The fight will
be made wholly upon national issues
and the old slogan, "Stand by the
President will be heard throughout
the length and breadth of the state.
Governor Nash and the rest of the
state ticket will be ignored entirely or
mentioned only incidentally.
The Democratic campaign will be
more quiet. Comparatively few speak
ers will be brought into the state and
there will be little red fire. The state
campaign, so far AS the Democrats are
concerned, will be fought out on state
issues.

Annual Convention Just Closed
In Columbus.

Mr.. II. s. Smith, Of Akron, delegate
to the annual convention Of the Gath
olic Knights of Ohio which closed at
Columbus, Wednesday night, deserves
the credit for securing for this city
the next convention Of the order which
will be held the second week of Sep
tember, 1902.
Mr.. Smith has for six years been
a delegate to these conventions and
has become well known to many men,
bers of the order. When he set about
to have Akron chosen as the next
meeting place, he found spirited oppo-
sition from those who favored other
cities which wanted the meeting, but
he worked hard and with Cincnnati's
help was victorious.
The convention of the Catholic
knights will bring from 100 to
1900 visitors to Akron and nearly 200
delegates.
A special to the Democrat from Co
lumbus gives the news of the conven-
ton voting to meet in Akron, and says
of the convention just closed:
Resolutions discountencing the treat
ing habit were adopted and telegram
of sympathy was forwarded to Presi-
dent Mckinley at Buffalo.
