DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.
The Weeks Records Will Fall Be-
hind Those of Preceding Period.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
New York. Sept. 6.-R. G.. Dun's
Weekly Trade Review tomorrow will
say:
In many manufacturing lines thare
has been an effort to make UP the
loss by working overtime, but the
weeks record will fall behind those
Immediately preceding.
Actual sales of many iron and steel
products are recorded at material adj
vances and the tone throughout Is
hardened by vigorous demand.
Placing of sample orders for spring
footwear is Of such character as to
indicate healthy market and some
jObbers are so anxious for early de-
livery that contracts are being closed
now. Despite more activity in the
market for cotton goods and placing
of government contracts, the staple
shows no great strength.
Although unsettled in tone, little
alteration occurred in the principal
cereals. Trading was restricted and
there was an apparent dis-inclination
to assume an aggressive stand on
either side OF the market. Commercial
failures during the month of August
were 500 In number and S9,45S, ,S66 In
amount of liabilities, Compared with
the same month last year the state
ment is most unsatisfactory, as fail
ures were then only 1855 in number and
1898, 903 in amount.

That He Became a Member
Through Her Influence.

By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.

accused and self-confessed assassin.

which the act was, committed in Buff
falo He has seven brothers and sis
ters in Cleveland and the Cleveland
directory has the names of about that
number living on Hosmer street and
Ackland avenue, which adjoin. Some
of these are butchers and the others
taned at police headquarters pending
the result of the presidents injuries.
Czolgosz does not appear in the least
degree uneasy or penitent for his ac-
tion, He says he was induced by his
attention to Emma Gpldman's lee
lures and writings to decide that the
present form of government in this
country was all wrong and he thought
the best way to end il vas by killing
the president. He shows no signs of
insanity, but is very reticent about
much of his career. While acknow-
lodging himself an anarchist. he does
not state to what branch of the organ
ization he belongs.

the police went at the prisoner with
renewed vigor In the effort to obtain

first admitted that he was an anarch-

strenuously that the attempt on the
life of the president was the result Of
a preconcerted plot of any anarchist
society. At times he was defiant and
again Indifferent.
