CHAPTER VIII.
STONE WALLS DO NOT Make A

@ ~
Job had no trouble in finding his
way to the lawyers house, despite
the gathering night. He walked like
a man who is sure Of his way. AS
he came nearer the humble looking
cottage he paused for a moment in
hesitation.
Looks like the abode Of innocence
and peace he muttered. Foxes are
careful not to betray the character
of their holes from the outside. I

I should not like greatly to come

He moved around to the side Of the
building. and stood for amoment de-
batting what to do under the circum-
stances. The place wore such a de-
serted look that he was undecided.
AS he stood there in the shadows Of
a tree he was aware Of q step in the
road. and drew back closer into the
shadows. A man came In view
whose features he could not make out,
but who seemed to be. dressed In we'll
fitting clothes, and carried himself with
a certain jaunty air.
The newcomer, as he approached
the house, seemed to be looking from
right to left, as If he feared to be
seen. He walked past the building,
peering into the shadows. Job Hen
bricks crowded back against the fence
among the bushes and wondered why he
was not discovered.
The stranger, having satisfied him
self that there was no n in the
neighborhood, went up to the front
softly m in a peculiar way.
Job was instinctfvely drawn near
to watch what happened. Presently
the door was opened cautiously, and
an elderly man with a white beard,
shading a lamp with one hand, ap-
peared to be surprised to see his
visitor, for he uttered an exclamation
that was hardly expressive Of welcome.
The other, without q word, slipped into
the hall, and the door closed noiselessly
behind him. 4

TROLLEY WIRES FELL.
Car Service Derangsd and Incon-
 Yanionce Caused.

Car Service Derangsd and 1ncon-
 vsnience Caused.
 The trolley wires of both street rail- ways on DexterG Gavenue between Law renee and Perry streets fell yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock and the caEs stopped running for about one hour.
 The trouble was started by a long, double-trucked ear on the belt line. The trolley jumped the wire at the crossing on Lawrence street and caught in one of the suspended wires. The trolley was jerked from it's socket and the MontgoTn- cry Light and Water Power Company's pole in front of Unger's Bakery that held the wire. snapped in two The current was turned off and the trolley was fixed. The wires were not too low for trafac and the cars went on.
 In about five minutes after the Belt line car had gone. another car came down the hill and it's trolley also jumped the current wire. This time the wires were pulled down almost to the ground and all the cars on the line stopped.
 It is a miracle that no one was hurt by the falling pole and the heavily charged car wires. Several horses were frighten- ed and a delivery wagon was broken by the frightened horse hitched to 1t.
 The wires were fixed as quickly as pos- sible so that cars could run on their regu- lar schedule with the exception that transfers had to be made at the danger ous point.

Dun,s Trade Review.

New York, Aug. 14.-R. c. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Earnings of railways for August thus far show an average gain Of 7.7 per cent. over last years figures and lS.S per cent. compared with 1901. Distribu- ton of merchandise is very heavy. more interruption to traffic being recorded. and in staple lines prices are steady. Prep arations for fall trade are vigorous, many manufacturers working overtime to i'll important orders. Collections are fully as prompt as usual for the season. Crop news is reassuring. Foreign trade at this port for the last week showed loss of $l.461 .049 in exports, as compared with the same week last year, and imports de- creased $2,I27.S75. Hesitation in certain
 branches of the iron and steel industry, incident to the season and aggravated by labor controversies. is indicated. vast amount of business iS being done, but there Is no indication to anticipate re- quirements of the future. The week has brought no developments in the price
 situation. but there is steady gain in purchases of pig iron. although the meet l ing of the leading concerns committee failed to decide upon placing new con- tracts which was a disappointment to some prospective sellers. Agricultural implements and machinery manufactur- CTS have secured a further large tonnage of material. Merchant steel and pipe
 show improved demand, but in plates and structural material the waiting ten- dency- Is still dominant
 A slight increase in the volume of bus mess in cotton goods is confined to small
 orders for quick delivery.
 l quotations for cottoHs are firmly held,
 and an advance in staple prints occurred
 this week, but the ratio of the product
 to the raw material is far from such as
 to encourage manufacturing. A steady demand for mems wear woolens sustains
 prices and business in Gress goods Is im-
 proving. Dry goods Jobbers report fair
 ly good buying.
 | The feature this week has been the
 liberal purchasing of heavy shoes for
 next spring by local jobbers. Both sole
 and upper leather find a better market.
 Hides continue weak.
 Failures this week number 174 in the
 United States, against 196 last year and
 22 in Canada. compared with q a year
 ago.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
DEvELoPMENas FOR THE WEEK
 LARGELY FAVORABLE.
Fall Trade Has Expanded at Lead ing Western, Southern and East ern Markets-Lessening of
 Pressure at New York.

New York Aug. t4-Bradstreets tomor- row will say: Developments this week have been largely favorable. Prominent among these is the lessening of pressure at the country.s financial center, which has led to a more optimistic feelipg. De- yond and apart from this. however, al- though no doubt affected thereby, 1t Is clothing, hats, shoes and millinery. has expanded at leading Western. Southern and Eastern markets.
 Pig iron has sold freely with more firm ness as to prices. Export demand for wheat and flour shipments thereof have enlarged. Traffic returns show a heavier movement of live animals and marked increase in west-bound shipments or freight. Reports of congestion of rail- way traffic are severe. This trouble af- fects the lumber shipments of the Northwest, and coal shipments of Pennsylvania and coming so early in the season is regarded as signi- ficant of the probable volume of business to be offered 10 transportation companies.
 Pittsburg sales of pig iron are larger. although the leading interest has not yet covered its last quarters result.
 A moderate business is doing in rails, but other finished products are quiet. The first rush of fail trade in dry goods at New York has been satisfactory. The demand for mems wear woolens for spring account has been good and wool Is firm er No improvement is noted in the cot ton mill situation. The high price of cot ton has resulted in practical cutting down of production.
 Notable activity in the shoe business is reported at the East. Hides are easier, and demand for leather Is merely 10 meet requirements, but prices of the latter are steady. Dairy products are firmer in tone. but sugar manufacturers have reduced the list price in an effort to encourage demand.
 Building trades strike at New York have affected demand for archicultural iron, hardware, lumber, paints, electrical equip ments and a variety of other products. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week aggregate 3,4l3.19i bushels. against 3,o40,629 last week and 4.59l,S05 this week last year. For six weeks of the cereal year they aggregate lS,a60,4A bushels, against 25,3S5. GUS in 1902.
 Corn exports aggregate for the week 707.3S7 bushels, against S6i, ,42S last week and 93, a2s a year ago. For six weeks of the cereal year they aggregate 6,9A9, ,4SO bushels, against 5s7, ,S6o in 1902.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending August 13 number l6o, against 161 last week and 1Sl in the like week of 1902 and IFS in 1901.
 Canadian failures number 16, as against 26 last week.
