SOUTHERN TRADE
OUTLOOK CHEERFUL,
Bradstreet's Discusses the Effort
of Open Season on Various
Lines of Retail Business.

New York, Jan. 1S-Bradstreets to-mor-
row will say:
Speculation has Jagged. but trade on
spring account has. on the whole. improved
this week. Southern and Southwestern trade
is opening up satisfactorily and there are
better reports received from the Northwest
as TO the outlook for spring business.
''As to retail distribution. conditions are
hardly SO favorable. The third week OF
January ends with weather conditions rn-
favorable to retail demand for woolens,
rubbers and footwear, and the demand for
household sizes of coal has quieted some
what
"On the other hand, the open season has
helped the distribution of hardware. paints
and glass and an advance OF nearly one
third is reported in window glass. Lumber
appears to have been active at the West,
and the wholesalers have done more at the
East. but the export trade lags in this line
as in others.
THE textile situation IS not altogether
clear. Cotton has weakened on increased
stocks at the South and reports that South
ern yarn and Fall River print cloth manJk
facturers are considering shutdowns and in
spite OF reiterations OF low crop estimates,
which the present movemsSes certainly do
not confirm.
''Wool is in slack demand, and manufac-
turers buy only to cover orders. Orders for
overcatings have been Of a fair volume:
cloak manufacturers have, however. bought
relatively better. The shoe trade Is In good
shape so far as spring orders are con-
cerned, and leather is firm.
Southern trade continues as a whole fair
to good. and the outlook Is regarded as a
cheerful one"

George W. Beckham. q drover. living at

fight with hog in the Union Stock Yards,
at Hall street and Bremen avenue. yester-
day morning.
While he was engaged with two other
men in unloading a car OF hogs into the
pens one OF the animals attacked him and,
IL a companion had not come to his rescue,
It is probable he would have been seriously
injured.
The hogs had been penned up in the car
for several days and had become ferocious.
Beckham got into the car 10 drive them
into chute leading into the pens. when a
large hog. with well-developed tusks. rushed
at him. He fell over another hog in trying
to get out Of the way. and the attacking
animal grabbed his left hand in its mouth
and inflicted painful wound Several other
hogs rushed at the PROSTATE man and were
about TO Join in the attack when one OF
Beckham's companions ran to his assistance
with a club and beat the animals back
After much trouble the hogs were forced
down the chute. and Beckham went to the
North End Dispensary TO have the injury
dressed.
Doctor Walbridge cauterized the wound
and put three stitches in II. He said II was
not serious. Beckham then went to his
home.

WELLSTON TRACK WAR ENDED.
Injunction Suit Against Railway
Companies Is Dismissed.

The Injunction suit OF J. P. Rubeling and
others against the St Louis and St Charles
Railway Company was dismissed in the st.
Louis County Circuit Court yesterday by
Judge McElhinney and costs assessed
against the plaintiffs.
The dismissal OF the suit marks the end
Of long and vigorous fight which the
citizens OF Wellston waged against the lay-
ing OF two sets of double tracks on the St
Charles Rock Road. Several years ago the
County Court granted franchises to the
Wellston. Creve Occur Lake and St Charles
Railway Company, and 10 the st. Louis and
St Charles Railway Company TO lay tracks
on the St Charles Rock Road. The Judges
did not think at the time that the order
meant eight different rails on the road, as
II was supposed that the two roads would
use one set of tracks. But the two compa-
nies began Immediately to engage in an ac-
tive warfare. and a rush was made to see
which could get tracks down first.
The citizens OF Wellston found themselves
in danger OF being shut out of the road
altogether, and threatened to establish an
armed guard TO protect their rights in the
road. Suits were filed, but to no avail. Last
summer the St Louis and St.. Charles Rail-
way Company started TO lay the last set of
tracks, and Mr.. Rubeling and his neigh
bors filed another Injunction. restraining 1t
from doing so.
OF the fight They consider II is futile To a
Republic reporter Mr.. Ruebling said that
they wanted to put up a necessary bond
and he did not feel able TO carry IT alone
For that reason they concluded to drop the
matter.
