REPORT ON TRADE.

Bradstreet's report of trade for last
week is as follows:
While speculative markets, except
for cotton, show reactionary tenden-
cies, general distributive trade and in
dustry are active, and volume Of bus
mess is going forward. All obtainable
measures of production and movement
for the nine months of the year testify
to this. Bank clearings are heavily in
excess of previous years, railway earn
ings continue very favorable and talk
of scarcity of cars for different sec
tions of the country is heard. Failures
are more numerous than last year or in
1899. but fewer than in recently preced-
ing years, and while liabilities have
expanded, this has been due mainly to
a few large financial suspensions before
reported, because current failures and
liabilities are not as heavy as earlier
in the year. The cereals are generally
weak and lower in all markets. Large
receipts, liquidation by the tired longs,
and unsatisfactory cable advices have
weakened wheat slightly. Export trade,
however, fails to be greatly stimulated.
Corn has weakened slightly on i'm
proved outside buying, to keep prices
up to the professional liquidation, and
poor export inquiry.
New business in wooden good is
quiet, but the mills are busy on winter
wear orders, and large volume of
their spring output has been booked.
Failures in the United States report
ed by r. G. Dun & Co. for the nine
months of 1901 number S144, with an
aggregate indebtedness of s97 1855. 416.
In the same months of 1900 the num-
Der was slightly smaller, 1895, but the
amount of liabilities was much heavier.
$13S, 234,9SS. Substracting the 81 fail
ures of banking and other fiduciary in
situations with liabilities of SIS, 235,544,
the defaults in strictly commercial
channels were 1898 in number and $780,

Der and SOL ,S67,44S in amount last
year.

Make Arizona a State.

Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 6.-Governor
Murphy has issued a semioflicial procla-
nation calling statehood convention, to
convene at Phoenix on October PC. The
Phoenix board of trade decided to appro-
pirate funds to cover all the expenses OF
delegates to the conference. Representa-
ton will be had from each county OF the
territory, and a strong effort will be made
to disregard political faith in making up
the delegations.
The governor, in his proclamation,
states his belief that concerted action on
the part of the citizens will induce the
Fifty-seventh congress during the coming
winter to pass an enabling act, but it is
limited that influential corporations will
not lend assistance.
Governor Murphy has accepted an invi-
tation from Governor Otero of New Mex
leo to address a statehood conference at
Albuquerque on October %. 1t is under

Chicago. Oct. 6.-The grand jury voted
two indictments against Robert Burt. oil
Inspector. charging imbezzlement of funds
of his office to the extend of $4,000.
Several days ago representatives of the
Standard Oil company told the grand jury
that they paid as fees to Mr.. Burt, in his
capacity as oil inspector, certain sums of
money which the grand jury could not
find in the inspectors accounts with the
city.
Burt is chairman of the democratic
county central committee. and is regarded
as the closest political friend of Mayor
Harrison. Strong efforts were made dur
ing the day by Burt and his friends to
prevent his indictment Burt, before the
indictments were returned paid into the
Office of the city treasurer $4,000 to cover
any shortage that might be found in his
accounts.
Mr. Burt said at midnight;
"They indicted me after | made good
the shortage claimed Until today | did
not know just how the books in the
Office stood. Ever since l took charge of
the office four years ago the chief deputy
attended to the making out of the re-
ports. As soon as | learned that there

London, Oct. THE wedding OF Miss
Helen Morton, daughter of Levi p. Nor
ton, former vice president of the United
States, and Count Bosom de Perigord, a
son of the duke of Talleynnd-P erigord,
was celebrated at st. Marys Catholic
church, Chelsea, with considerable display.
The church was lavishly decorated with
palms and ferns, all the pews were fes-
TONED with white chrysanthemums and
red roses, and the side chapels were hung
with garlands of flowers.

After the Columbia had hauled down

either Upton or his gallant craft. In

honor as the victor. And thus, with

Murdered for Money.

Boise, Idaho, Oct. THE putrid re-
mains of Davis Levy, wealthy miser of
this city, were found lying on a bed in
the rooms of his Main street block He
had been murdered by strangulation.
Levy seems to have been killed in a
filthy little room at the head of the stairs
of the rooming block that he used as an
office, Kitchen and bedroom. \ rope was
put around his throat and gag in his
mouth. The body was carried into an
unoccupied room and laid on the bed.
The smell from it led to the discovery.
1t is supposed the deed was committed
for the purpose of robbery. The old man
collected his rents about the first of the
month and was in the habit of deposit
ing his money in bank on the fifth. The
amount was usually $500, deposits of
smaller amounts being made later in the
month. No deposit was made for this
month"; and the supposition is the robbers
got at least $500. They ransacked an old
trunk in the den and the papers were
strewn all over the floor In the batch
were certificates of deposit for $5l63 and
notes for several times that sum.
Charles NJ. Kahn has been appointed
administrator to take charge of the prop
erty The deceased has a sister, Mrs.
Hauser, living in San Francisco; a
nephew, NJ. H. Lippman of New York,
and two nieces, Mrs. T. Isadore and Mrs.

London, Oct. 6.-There is a feeling
of supreme disappointment in London
over the failure of Shamrock II. to
win even single race. Those who
denounced Sir Thomas Lipton's ambi-
ton, asserting that he was using his
yacht to advance his business inter
ests, now realize that his sportsman
like efforts deserve a better result.
The question is raised here whether
the defeat of the challenger was due
to the superiority of American sea-
manship or to the better constructing
ability of the Americans.
BY way of settling the question the
Daily Mail has cabled e. d. Morgan
and Sir Thomas Upton suggesting that
they should arrange a race with Co
lumbias crew on board Shamrock H.
and the crew of the challenger on
board the defender.
The morning papers are unanimous
in admitting that the challenger was
fairly and squarely beaten by better
boat Most of the papers are gratified
that Sir Thomas Lipton's public spir-
tied action should have stimulated in
ternational good will, beside resulting
in the finest and closest race ever wit
messed in the history of yachting.
New York, Oct AFTER Sir
Thomas Upton, accompanied by
Mr.. Jameson and Mr.. Watson, had
paid a farewell visit to Colonel
Burbank and his family at the mill
tary post on Sandy Hook the Erin's
anchor was hove up and that yacht
steamed direct to New York. She
was saluted by all the outgoing steam
ships on her way up the harbor and
anchored off the foot of West Thirty
fourth street at 3 p. m.
When asked if it were true he was
willing to put the captain and crew OF
Shamrock on board the Columbia and
allow that yachts crew to handle the
Shamrock in a series of races, Sir
Thomas said
81 should be willing to do so if it
is in the interest of sport and pro-
vided of course, the other side is will
ling"
Secretary Oddie of the New York
Yacht club said that such a race might
create bad feeling, and especially if
the Shamrock should win. Comma
dare Kane said the idea was preposter-
Gus.
Speaking of his future plans, Sir
Thomas said he was undecided as YET
about his coming engagements. but
that he would go to the Waldorf-As
toria Monday and that Tuesday even
ing he would attend a dinner at the
New York Yacht club. He will prob
ably visit Chicago about week hence
The date is not yet fixed.

regarding the sensational finish. Mr..

range was from a small white flag on
