partner with having induced the wit
ness to tale half interest in the pur-
chase of 1000 shares for$1S0,000 which

BETWEEN SEASONS PERIOD.
Falling of in Some and Good Bushes:
in Other Branches.

New York, Oct 30.-Special kilograms
from correspondents of the Information
al Agency throughout the United States
and Canada, regarding the state are
summarized as follows:
The between seasons period is begin
ming to show it's influence on the move
ment of general merchandise. Rela-
lively the most favorable reports come
from Chicago, Pittsburg and New
York. Baltimore reports the outlook
from the South for good trade owing
to the high price for cotton. There
has been gain at Pittsburg. where
more mills are expected to start up.
Country orders are a fair average for
the season at Chicago, but there is less
disposition to branch and a hesitancy
in some lines Dry goods and clothing
are moving more slowly at st. Louis.
At Boston the disposition is towards
conservatism. At Philadelphia. the
volume of trade is about equal to that
of year ago but affected by labor con-
ditions is beginning to slacken. st.
Paul and Minneapolis advise that inte-
rior merchants are restricting purchas-
ers somewhat. The Minneapolis flour
output is becoming normal again.
/ Traffic on Eastern railroads has de-
.clined. this week. car shortage has been
less noticeable, interior jobbers gener-
ally are buying less that last year, and
Cotton exports are increasing encourag-
|singly but mercantile collections have
fallen away in regions tributary to
philadelphia and St. Paul. Shipments
of funds west on crop and bank ac-
knts have made loans at New York
acIiler and tend to hold down security
prices.
/ Good weather has prevailed through
Lout the grain regions, but winter
wheat, which is all sown, could stand
some rain.
The outlook is for good demand for
wheat for export. Estimates of the cot
ton crop tend higher than recently.
A feature in industrial lines is the
sale of 10000 tons of Southern
pig iron for export to Manchester at
$40. or less, ton at the furnace. and a
Pittsburg sale of steel rails for delivery
in Corea- Many large industrial con-
Germs report an average decline in Or
ders of Is per cent. from this time last
year: new orders come in hesitatingly.
Some $4,000 employees have been laid off
or have struck this week. Closed iron
mines in northern Wisconsin have re-
acted upon jobbers in the Northwest.

POLICE SEE A MYSTERY
In Remains of Man Found Under Street
at Chicago.

Chicago Oct. 30.-Seven feet below the
surface in gravel pit. 56th street and
South Park avenue. the body of man
wrapped in a carpet and placed inside
a pine box has been unearthed by the
police.
The condition of the body indicates
that It was at one time in the hands of
the medical men, but the police see a
mystery IN the case.
When found the body was stretcned
in the box with hands folded across the
chest. 1t was in mumified condition
and evidently had been exposed a long
time after death. In the bottom OF the
box a rusty sword with the point brok-
en- off was found.

East. fairly steady at the West. and
cemn:alized at the South. II
Further curtailment of iron produce
fion, so far faithfully adhered to, is
fcresiladowed. The shutdown Of the
Alnalgamated Copper mines has had a
strengthening effect on that product.
The output of these mines is placed at
2c,O0O 600 pounds monthly.
Cotton receipts have been large, this
week, and this has seld down the
market which would otherwise have
been inclined to respond much more
quickly to the reports of killing frost
and to the growing belief that the crop
was likely to prove of disappointing
yield. Withal however, and despite re-
actions the advance for the week, has
been n cents.
The movement of wheat was larger,
but not up to expectations. Minneapo-
lis mills reported demand for flour in
excess to production. Corn is favored
by good weather and is easier as a
whole. Hog products tend lower on
large receipts-they are lower now than
for three years past-and beef cattle
also tend downward for the same rea-
son.

CRITICISM Exc1TEs SURPRISE.
Abuse Of Automobiles Regarded as a
Little Queer

"It seems a little queer to hear men
abusing automobiles" said Judge H. G.
Haskins of Milwaukee. at the Raleigh
about twenty-five years ago the Wiscon-
sin legislature passed a law Offering $40, 900
as a bonus for a steam wagon that would
run on ordinary roads. All the competitors
were to run their wagons to Madison the
following winter. when the legislature was
to award the prize.
''Three different outfits started for Madi-
son. One went in the ditch near Milton
junction and another dropped out some-
where else. But the Oshkosh wagon got
to Madison all right. and used to haul loads
of boys around the capitol park.
There was some contest in the legisla-
ture about paying the reward because only
one wagon was entered for the contest
but finally Oshkosh got the money. The
late Bill Wall was q member of the as
sembly and he and his brother Tom were
reputed to own the wagon.
"Biil was good fellow. but was no
speechmaker, and the boys told him unless
