TRADE REPORT.

New YORK;. G. Dun & Co.'s Week
ly Review of Trade last week says:
Milder weather not only accelerated
the demand for many lines of mer-
chandise, but relieved the pressure for
fuel, which threatened to become a Sc
rious matter, and incidentally facil-
itated efforts to reduce the freight
congestion. With no other .retarding
feature than the holiday, business full
ly maintains its gratifying position.
Returns of both domestic and foreign
trade are fully equal to those Of the
same month last year. and In many
cases there are marked gains. The
people are consuming on a scale never
before equaled, as evidenced by the
enormous distribution and continual
inquiries for prompt shipment. Firmly
held quotations also bear testimony
to the fact that the demand Is often
greater than the supply.
Business in wooden has fallen of
Unexpectedly. some early buyers re-
ducing the size of their initial orders,
while in few exceptional cases there
have been complete cancellations.
New England shoe shops have Sc
cured moderate advances in several
grades of footwear, chiefly of fall
style. in demand by western buyers.
Failures numbered 211 in the Unit
ed States and % in Canada.

THE BOY CONFESSED.
Robbed the Postoffice at Lola, Mon
fana.

Henry Delaney, IL years old, viii an
swer in the federal court to charge
of robbing the postofice at Lolo. He
appeared voluntarily before United
States Commissioner Wallace P. Smith
and confessed the crime. He was plac-
ed under $500 bonds. HAs father. j.
E. Delaney, furnished the bond. 1t
was the father who compelled the boy
to confess and surrender.
The postoffice at Lolo has been en-
tered several times during the past
year and mail matter tempered with.
In spite of this the depredations were
continued and paddock was the next
resort. 1t was impossible, however, to
keep out the unknown criminal.
Postoftice Inspector Beatty of Great
Falls has been working on the case
and details of the robberies have been
kept from the public. Early in the
present week Inspector Beatty visited
Lolo and cleaned information that
caused suspicion to rest on young De-
laney. The official believed that the
boy had at least guilty knowledge of
the affair and questioned him closely,
but was able to detect nothing to solve
the mystery of the robbery.
Back of the above statement of facts
there is a story of rectitude in the
path of duty rarely equaled in real life.
Young Delaney, after the inspectors
visit, confessed to his father that he
was guilty. Hesitating not an instant,
he at once came to Missoula with his
son, and before the federal commits
sioner complained of the crime. 1t is
proDable the crime could never have
been traced otherwise. Mr.. Delaney
extends every tender feeling toward
his son in the lads extremity, but says
nothing could prevent his discharging
his duty.
The Delaneys have been respected
residents of this community for many
years, and the fathers action has
brought warmest praise from the in.
