wBEKLYc COMMERCIAL REPORT
Enormous Shipments Of Merchandise Rave

New York, Nov. S.-Bradstreet's
commercial report says: Jobbing
trade has continued active, at most
markets exceeding last year; spring
sales are Of good volume, indicating
confidence, and enormous shipments
Of all classes Of merchandise have
congested the railroads already fully
occupied in trying to move supplies
of fuel to consumers and grain crops
to market. The mild, open fall sea-
son has, however, been valuable to
the farmer, enabling complete farm
ing preparations and insuring sat
isfactory beginning to the wheat
crop, besides allowing the late cotton
to mature and facilitating outdoor
work, such as building. With in
creasing movement some weakness in
the cereals and cotton is noticeable,
but this is construed favorably be-
cause being likely to encourage ex-
port business, which, however, COM
pares quite favorably with the last
fiscal year, despite prevailing high
prices. The labor situation is quiet
and favorable influence for continued
peace is the disposition on the part
of the railroads to grant wage ad-
vances.
Retail trade Is improving and
heavy business is looked forward to.
Dairy products tend to strengthen
on seasonable changes. Hog prod
ucts are quite firm, in sympathy with
lard, which is practically cornered.
Iron and steel show little change.

INQUIRY INTO STOCK RATES.


Chicago, Nov. S.-President A. B.
Stickney, Of the Chicago Great West
ern railroad, was the first witness
at the second days session Of the
interstate commerce commission
yesterday. He had prepared a num-
Der Of figures to show that the rates
imposed by that road were not un-
reasonable. Mr.. Stickney's testimony
was to the effect that while there was
apparently large discrepancy be-
tween the rates on live stock and the
finished product, yet the conditions
Of transportation made the two rates
almost equal.
W. R. Biddle, freight traffic man
ager Of the Santa Fe road, who was
the next witness, took issue with
President Stickney in regard to rates
on live stock. He began by stating
that the rates established by his COM
pany on packing house products are
the same as those of the Great West
ern road, while on live stock it is
only 10 cents, compared with 231s
cents, as charged by the Great West
ern line.
Secretary Thompson, Of the Chi
cago Live Stock exchange, went on
the stand shortly before the time for
adjournment and submitted several
statements comparing rates en-
forced by various roads. He will give
additional testimony to-day.

VAT7ERS0N'S VIEW.
The PRESIDENT CALLED 4 USURPER.
Both Sides. Henry Wsttsrson Says. Csa
Take Satisfaction Ovef the Result
The Democrats in Good Trim for the
Fight Two Yean Hence.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 7.-Henry Wat
tersou regards the results Of Tues
days election as a victory for the
democratic party. 1.-THE results Of
the general election" he says, "offer
little ground for surprise by either
side, except perhaps, in New York,
where Coler has lifted the democ-
racy out Of the Empire state to its
old position OF leadership in the ma
ton. The final outcome is reached
after balancing a few losses and
gains here and there, and is only in
accordance with what should have
been reasonably expected and what
was expected by intelligent students
Of political conditions who did not
permit their desires to warp their
judgment.
"In this outcome, however, both re-
publicans and democrats will take
considerable satisfaction, the repub-
leans because they have retained
congress in an off year, and the DEM
ocrats because they have made the
republicans fight desperately to re-
tain it and have materially cut down
their majority.
"The republicans may profess Ella
ton because they have been able to
hold the house with most presidents
against them, but, after all, consid-
ering the recent generalization and
divisions in the democratic party, q
republican defeat at this time would
have been much more ominous than
the usual off year defeat Of the party
in power, especially since the repub-
leans had made such a desperate
fight this year to prevent a reverse,
their president going the most re-
markable lengths in usurping power
and revolutionizing his constitutional
office to take this trick in the game
Of politics, which he has played wide
open and to the limit.
"But the democrats have shown
that they are in better position for
the real measure of forces two years
hence than their opponents and
they themselves, in the main, sus-
pected. Except in few localities
they have proved that they have
come together again: that they have
the rubbish Of the past,
which they once magnifed into dis
sension breeding issues, and have
united again in the common cause
VI practical democracy"

BOSTON'S MYSTERY.
POLICE now THINK Hin INNOCENT.


Boston, Nov. SIN the develop.
ments Of the day in the Mason case,
which has puzzled the police Of Bos-
ton since Miss Clara A. Norton was
struck down and killed in Waverly
last Saturday, there are several
striking details. No further evidence,
however, has been sdduced which
tends to incriminate in the case
Alan G. Mason, the member Of q
prominent family who is under ar
rest on the charge Of murder. In
fact the police are inclined to the
belief that Mason stood out clearer
in the light Of an innocent man be-
cause Of the failure Of Joseph Mem
ser, the west end jeweler, to identi-
fly Mason as the man who had offered
for sale Miss Morton's watch last
Saturday night.
An important detail in connection
with the disposal Of the watches was
the establishment last night that the
signatures on the checks kept on file
by the jeweler in Identification Of the
persons who offered him the articles
were written by one and the same
person. This confirms the story that
the two women were murdered by
the same man.
Another late incident was the ar
rest on suspicion last night at Wa

was brought here, but Jeweler Mem
