Trade Report.

Quietness and even repression gov
ern general trade and industry, but
prevailing pessimism can not hide the
fact that some really encouraging
signs are visible. Taken as a whole,
general business is rather larger, due
to the expansion in retail trade at the
northwest, where it is favored by COOL
er, settled weather, and at the south
west, where an enormous quantity of
cotton is being marketed at excellent
prices. Wholesale trade is still quiet
as whole, awaiting developments in
price and demand Export trade seems
to be at last expanding. Exports of
leading products aggregate the Sec
ond largest total ever recorded in Oc-
tober.
The lumber market is irregular.
Building activity is favored by the
late fall.
Wheat, including flour, exports for
the week aggregate $685. 1923 bushels.

DESPERATE PRISONERS ESCAPE.
Scaled the Fence of Ohio Penitentiary
After Dark.

Columbus, Ohio Nov 16-Four des-
perate prisoners escaped from the
Ohio penitentiary shortly after dark
this evening by crawling over the wall.
In some mysterious manner the men
got out of their cells about the time
the day and night guards were chang
ing places Plans for the escape had
been carefully laid and in the brief
interval in which the change was made
the quartet had climbed to the top
range of cells and swung out on the
roof. This would be a hazardous I'M
dertaking for steeple climber in day
light, and how the prisoners accom-
plished the feat in the dark is mys-
terry to the prison officials.
After reaching the roof the men
made ladder out of bed quilts which
they brought with them and climbed
down to the outer prison wall This
they quickly scaled with the aid of
their improvised ladder. No trace of
the escaped convicts had been secured
up to a late hour tonight.

BRITISH COLUMBIA MINES.

The big strikes in the Alzac and
Shalkwak districts, northwest of
White morse, are growing in import
ance daily. Dawson is now deserted
as far as floating population is con-
cerned and people are pouring into
the districts from half a dozen diner
ent directions. Some are coming from
Skagway and Juneau, others from
Atlin. Late advices show that pans as
high as 1925 have been secured ~
several miners.
The Wakefield concentration at Sill
verton has closed down for the win
ter, after a most successful run. The
concentrator has turned out two prod
ucts, first, a lead concentrate running
65 per cent lead, 8 per cent zinc and
125 ounces of silver; second, zinc
concentrate running As per cent zinc,
2 per cent lead and about 70 ounces
OF silver to the ton.
Official figures from London, Eng
land, show that in October the LIE Roi
mine at Rossland lost $4,000, as COM
pared with a profit of SIT, 900 Tor Sep
TENDER. The loss makes the English
stockholders nervous, and they are
anxiously awaiting the return to Lon
don of Anthony J. Mcmillan and Sid
ney Waterlow, who have just inspect
Gu the property on their behalf.
1t is supposed that in September
the Rossland manager worked the rich
streaks and left the baser rock, there
by showing a profit which could not
be kept up in October, when poorer
ore had to be treated at the Northport
smelter. 1t is considered that there is
little hope for the lie Roi until copper
goes back to Is cents or oil concen-
trates is adopted.
The Hall Mines smelter reports a
loss of $4,000 on years work. Some
put the cause down to antiquated ma.

Marroquin Not Popular.

"a'Ioqdlh iNOt TOpuIdTs
Panama, Nov. 16.-President 1ar-
roquin's statement, as conveyed in a
cablegram to General Plaza, president
of Eucador, that General Reyes, Ca
balleros, Ospina and Holguin are now
marching on the isthmus to suppress
the isthmian traitors" has set the en-
tire population of the isthmus laugh
ing. Protected by the impenetrability
Of the land and the many leagues of
coast line separating the isthmus from
Colombia and confident that the Un4.-
ed States intends to prevent the land
ing of Colombian soldiers from the
sea, the isthmians feel that their Sc
curity is absolute.
! The loss of the isthmian territory
| is, OF course, a tragedy for Colon
bia. The government at BogoLa is
probably ignorant of the attitude taken
! by the United States government dur
ling the last two weeks. In frenzy
to "save its face" to appease an angry
and disappointed populace and to sat
isfy the public demand for some ap-
pearance of activity and an attempt to
save the honor and the territorial in
tegrity of Colombia, the government
is no doubt promising and threatening
to send forces to the coast and to take
other aggressive steps. The realiza-
ton by Colombia of the impossibility
Of sending troops to the isthmus would
not necessarily deter it from taking
these steps, which, as already stated,
are intended merely to satisfy the peo-
| pie. Well Informed people on the 18TH
mus believe that the Colombian gov
eminent is going through all these
forms of organizing expeditions not
merely for the .foregoi4g. reasons, but
owing to the necessity of forestalling
or of weakening the threatened revolu-
tionary outbreak in Bogota.
The growing feeling against Presi-
dent Marroquin is believed to be due
to the fact that he did not show suf-
ficient determination to effect, the rati-
fication of the canal treaty, which
would have saved the isthmus to Co.
lombia, and because he appointed Cen
eral Obaldia governor of the depart
ment of Panama after Obaldia had de-
clared that he would remain Colon
bian if the treaty we're ratified, but
that otherwise he would only be a
Panamaian. General Obaldia was born
in Chiriqui in the state of Panama.
Mariners and others familiar with the
coast on both sides of the isthmus de-
clare that any attempt to march an
expeditionary army from any part of
Colombia to the isthmus would be
futile. Both coasts consist of impas-
sable jungles and swamps and rivers,
without towns or roads or any means
for the provisioning of an army. The
members of the junta have not the
slightest fear that any such expedition
will be attempted and they receive the
reports of such expeditions with equan-
unity.
What is described here in Panama
as the United States broad interpre-
tation of the clause of the treaty of
1916, regarding the protection of traf-
&c across the isthmus," is deemed am
pie for preventing transportation of
troops by sea and consequent hostili-
ties.
