REPORT ON TRADE.

R. G. Dunn & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade last week says:
Unfavorable signs were not evident
in the business outlook Manufacture
ing industries enjoy exceptional activ-
ity, and most jobbers and retailers find
no occasion for complaint. Mild wealth
er is the one influence that may be
charged with retarding retail merchan-
disc distribution, yet it is the general
opinion that sales thus postponed will
be made UP later. The same influence
is Invaluable in facilitating the hand
ling of crops, erecting buildings and
other outdoor work. Although a fifth
of the year is still to be heard from.
including the usual interruption and
possible disturbance of legislation
there is good evidence that the volume
of legitimate business will largely ex-
coed all previous records. Speculation
is comparatively quiet, both in securi-
ties and options, on leading products,
which emphasizes the activity in trade
channels, as shown by bank exchanges
tor the week at New York, SO per cent
larger than last year and 84 above
1899 while at other leading cities the
gains were 1868 and 81 per cent respect
lively. Strength without imitation still
characterizes the iron and steel situa-
ton. Despite two months of Interrupt
zion by the strike, evidence accumu-
lates that the year will surpass all rec
ords in production of finished material.
and consequently in consumption OF
pig iron. Orders already booked for
delivery far into 1902 promise that
next year will bring higher records,
and the steadiness of prices make the
outlook especially favorable. Mills as
a rule have practically closed contracts
for all the orders that can be filed this
year, and future developments can only
affect conditions in 1902 as to finished
steel. Heavy orders are recorded for
rails with a free movement of struc-
tural material, while wire and wire
nails go abroad in large quantities.

Mis.ing Mes.enger Glres rp.

New York oct. 21.-George Armi-
tage the missing messenger of the
Bank of New Amsterdam, walked into
the Tenderloin police station and gave
himself up. The detectives tried to
get him to make a statement but he
declined to discuss his case.
Armitage only had $31.40 on him
when arrested. After he disappeared
drafts and collections representing
many thousands of dollars were re-
turned to the bank by mysterious
colored woman, who has not yet been
found by the police
Armitage's accounts. according to
the bank officials, show shortage of
$4,000, of which $4,000 is covered by a
Fidelity bond.
! Armitage subsequently made a re-
markable confession which set the
police scurrying after four supposed
accomplices. who, as alleged, had in
turn robbed the dishonest messenger
of practically all the money he had
stolen. Armitage said that he had met
woman, whom he knew as Marie, at
a roadhouse which they both frequent
ed. She was a friend of the piano
player in the resort. The wife of the
furnished music in the place and
Armitage, who was introduced to the
party by Marie, became friendly dur
ing months intimacy. Armitage
said that after he stole the money he
got drunk and was unable to return
the checks. Marie and the wife of the
piano player agreed to do it for him,
and taking the bank wallet to Brook
lvn, hired a negro woman to return it
to the bank. Armitage said that as
the woman left him. Marie suggested
that she had better take charge of the
stolen money for safety. Armitage
said he gave up the money and the
woman never came back. It is be-
lieved the police have the names of
the entire party and will arrest four.
The woman who returned the $50,
600 worth of drafts taken by George
Armitage from the Bank of New Am
sterdam, when the messenger disap-
peared so mysteriously, according to
the Journal and Advertiser, is Mrs.
Isabel Quagh, colored, a dressmaker
of Brooklyn. Mrs. Quagh claims that
the package containing the drafts was
turned over to her young son by
young, we'll dressed woman, and that
the youth was given dollar to con
vey it to his mother who sent the
package to the bank by express.

Chicago, Oct. 2l.-Sir Thomas Upton
has declared himself in favor of change
IN the construction of challengers and de-

 The store houses of W. F. vandiver & Go. are located at Nos. 104, 106, 10S and 110 Commerce Street, and Nos. 107, 109 and III Coosa Street. The building extends entirely through the long block and it's floor space is enormous. Dur ing the past year. 1t was found neces- sary, owing to the great increase in the firms business, to build an addi- tion to the storehouse, and accordingly another story was constructed at cost of $s.eoe. This afforded additional floor space to the amount of 15,000 feet, and in the front of the added story hand some office fixtures were installed.

 AS an indication of the amount of business done by W. F. Vandiver & G., 1t i5 only necessary to mention that the firm keeps ten travelling sales men on the road.

 NJ. R. Nj Henderson, in discussing the firm inesss for the past year, said:
 We have had a splendid trade. Our busiSess has shown an increase that is most gratifying. We looked for an increase over last year, and we have not been disappointed. It is but nat ural that an increase should occur. in view of Montgomery's and this sections growth and prosperity. but We have not been content to depend on that alone. We have tried to convince the merchants that ours Is good house to buy from. and to do this 1t is neces- sary to deal fairly and squarely with everyone. This has always been the policy of the firm. and each year the retailers more fully realize what it means to them. Our travelling men have been alert and active, but not withstanding all this, it has been found necessary to put on two more regular men during the year. I believe that in the next twelve months a still larger increase jr this city's wholesale gro- cery traGe will be shown. and that w. F. Fandiver & Co. will get their share"
