Camden, Mo-, says Dewey Smith, negro
miner, who shot and killed Chester Stan
ley, white man, at mine No. A. four miles
south of Richmond, Mo-, was captured and
taken back to the scene of his crime, and
his body is now hanging to a tree close to
the railroad tracks. Stanley and Smith,
alias Mcneil, alias Bob McBrien quar-
relied over trivial matter, which resulted
in the shooting of Stanley. The negro es-
capped, but was captured at Camden by
two white men. They took him to Bur
nett's hotel and wired Sheriff Crowley at
Richmond to come at once.

TRADE REPORT.

R. G. Dun G Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade for last week says
Job trade in groceries, hardware and
iron specialties has further gained in
volume in the east since our last re-
port, and retail business has been good,
except for a slow movement for some
descriptions of dry goods. notably
clothing, of which dealers fear they
must carry over unusually large
stocks. In the west and southwest,
however, the season has been satisfac-
tory. The greatest industrial combina-
ton ever arranged, that providing for
the union of the leading steel interests,
has not directly affected business as
yet, and may not do so otherwise than
by removing some of the unnecessary
competition from the industry.
Bessemer pig iron sold last week at
$15.25 and gray forge at $40, prices that
have not been equalled since early in
| August. Coke production was enor-
nous, and Connellsville prices at last
show definite advance. Further in
! crease appears in sales of wool at the
three chief cities, S,S00,300 pounds
changed hands for the week, against
| S,52S,500 in the previous week. A year
ago transactions were less than half
the present weeks operations. There
is still no reason to believe that the
heavy buying results from better condi-
tons at the mills, as orders for goods
do not appreciably expand except in a
few specialties. If manufacturers
were bidding for raw material large
ly the decline in prices would be check
ed, but the average on March / was
the lowest since June, 1899. Shipments
of boots and shoes from Boston were
S7,626 cases. against S4,675 in the week
i preceding and 100,856 a year ago Most
visiting buyers have concluded samp-
ling and have returned home Shops
have ample work for some time to
come, and prices are we'll maintained
Large stocks of hides depress prices
at Chicago, taking the average to be
the lowest point since last October.
Curtailment of production by south
ern yarn mills has become general, and
at Fall River there is much discussion
Of the advisability of reducing the out.
put or lowering wages. Loss in domes,
tic consumption of raw cotton seems
assured, and foreign buying is far
from satisfactory. The position of this
staple is not made firmer by news that
sales Of fertilizers surpass all records
in many southern states
Grain markets are firmly maintain
ed Domestic crop conditions are en-.
couraging, and the best explanation OF
strength is found in Atlantic exports
during February of wheat flour in
cluded, amounting to 10,348,204 bush
els, against 7,671,552 last year, and
14730, 252 bushels corn against 12,724,
645 in 1900.
Commercial failures in February
were 1924 in number and 81 ,287, 211
in amount, compared with 1912 in Jan
uary, with liabilities of 81, 220,811
1t is worthy of note that nearly a
third of the liabilities in manufactur.
ing failures were due to single bank
ruptcy of railway contractor, while
not one of the 757 trading defaulters
owed as much as 100000.

TROOPS ARE LEAVING PEKIN
AMERICAN FRENCH BRITISH

Pekin, March 5.-The American pre-
parations for departure are going &C.
lively forward All supplies, except
enough for two companies, have been
packed and marked for Manila. The
British plans contemplate a summer
along the Pei-ho and general removal
of forces, leaving behind by next win
ter half battalion o. Welsh fusileers
as legation guard in Pekin, together
with an Indian regiment to guard the
railroad The Germans show few signs
of intention to depart, but they are en-
| deavoring to sell $4,000 American and
| Australian horses as we'll as quantity
OF camels.
1t is rumored the French intend 10
| withdraw the most of their forces.
| leaving only an infantry brigade, a
regiment of cavalry and some artillery
to protect the French legation and to
guard the lines of communication.
This, it is understood, will be en-
J ployed to guard the Franco Belgian
railroad from Pekin to Pao-ting fu
In French military circles it is free
ly asserted that the French intend to
send force to be stationed permanent
| ly at Hankow and to guard the other
end of the Luhan railroad, 120 kilome
tres of which have been captured. More
definite information on this point is
awaited with anxiety by the British
who regard such an intention with seri.
GUS misgivings, because calculated to
bring about complications with the
Yang-tse viceroys if for no other rea
sons.
Particularly noticeable just now are
the sharp lines drawn between the
various nationalities at the social func
tions. General Gaselee, the British
commander, gave an elaborate dinner
at which only British, German and
American representatives were present
including generals, ministers and sec
retaries of legations.
NJ. De Giers, the Russian minister
gave a banquet, at which only Rus
SLAMS, Frenchmen and Austrians were
guests, while the Japanese minister en-
tertained at dinner last evening all
Americans and Japanese. The officers
club at the Temple of Heaven, where
games and other amusements are pro
vided, is attended only by the British
Germans and Americans.
The Japanese have decided to with
draw their troops during March. Al
a result of the conspicuous divergence
in the attitude of the powers, the Chi
nese imagine discord is beginning. l.
Hung Chang has sent two mandarins

the province of Shen-si and to prepare

ent Count Won Waldersee has issued re
