New York. Weekly Review Of Trade


Notwithstanding several unsatisfactory
features, the volume of trade continues
large and the distribution Of merchan-
disc taxes shipping facilities Announce
ment Of concerted effort to restrict pro.
duction of pig iron indicates that sup
plies have begun to accumulate. Rail
way earnings continue to show gains,
for September thus far exceeding last
years by ST. per cent, and those of 1901
by 17.2 per cent.
New labor controversies have begun,
but Il number Of serious troubles have
been averted, and on the whole the num-
Der of men idle voluntarily has dimin-
ished. Enforced idleness in the iron
and steel industry is more than offset
by the resumption of spindles ut cotton
mills, and there is great activity at foot
wear factories, although the margin Of
profit is narrow. Lower prices for the
leading agricultural staples indicate a
general belief in improved crop pros
poets.

Daughter of Mayor of Linares, Mcxi-
CO, Conducts Affairs of City.
Miss Manuela Flores Gomez, the 10
year-old daughter of the Mayor of Ia
mares, Mexico, has attracted the attention
of President Diaz through her heroic
conduct during the yellow fever epidemic,
and the Mexican Congress will vote her
medal. This high honor is in tecogni-
ton of her self-sacrifice and bravery in
remaining in Linares and taking upon her
shoulders the duties of the Mayor and
other city officials. Surrounded by dy-
ing victims Of the dreaded disease and
her father stricken with the malady, the
girl stuck to her post and has directed
affairs in a mastery manner. When her
young woman associates were fleeing to
the mountains they tried to induce Miss
Gomez to accompany them, but she re
fused, insisting she had duty to per-
form and that she would do all possible
to save life. When the plague began the
city had population of more than To-
600, and now through death and flight to
avoid the disease the number of residents
has been reduced to fewer than 5000.

Two Men Said to Have Secured Goods
from Many Firms.
In the arrest Of two daring swndlers
in Chicago the postoffice inspectors have
uncovered what is termed by Col. James
Il. Stuart as 1.-The cleyerest swindle ever
unearthed in the west" julius Nj. MIS-
son and Arthur j. Herbst are the prison
ers and the former has already confess
ed to share in the crimes. a grand to-
tai of 100000 is admitted to have been
stolen in the last eleven months. The
system of operation was somewhat COM
plicated. Nilsson and Herbst would go to
a city and open an office, ostcnsibly for
the purpose Of retailing some commodity
which they had secured on credit. lnva-
riably they used the name Of some firm
well known in the business world. Secur-
ing the goods, they would transfer the
conslgnments to warehouse and then
ship to New York, where fence
would dispose of them. Complaints ag-
gregating losses of 100000 had been
filed with the postal authorities, who
finally located Nilsson, whom they dis
covered was wanted in at least five
cities. Herbst was captured later in
New York. The latter is an ex-convict.
Nilsson was once owner of cafe in Chi
caEO.

PERIL AT A BIG FIRE.
Chicago Firemen Endangered When
Standard Vurnish Work Burn.

Lives of many firemen were endan-
gered in fire which destroyed the great
err part of the Standard varnish works,
2620 to 2640 Armour avenue, Chicago.
The blaze was started by an explosion
and the flames fed on the varnish so rap
idly that in short time the iiremen
seemed unable to check the sweep of the
flames. The explosion threw barrels OF
yarnish through the roof of the building
and two large tanks fell to the base
ment Firemen on ladders were COMPEL
ed to leap for their lives, and one, Guy
Anderson, fell under the ladder He was
partly stunned, but Policeman Lacey OF
the Cottage Grove avenue police station
dragged him away before the falling
walls reached him. The loss is placed at
5000 900

NINE DEAD l.; RAIL DISASTER.
Train Falls Scventyfivc Feet from n
Trcstle in Virginia.


While running at high rate of speed
the south bound fast mail train on the
Southern Railway jumped from trestle
seventy-tivc feet high half Il mile north
of Danville. Va, and was demolished,
OF the crew of sixteen men, including
mail carriers, nine were killed and seven
injured
The trestle where the sccident hap
pened is 800 feet long and is located on
Il sharp curve. Engineer Brodie was n
new man on that division and it is said
ne came to the curve at high rate of
speed. The engine had gone only about
fifty feet on the trestlc when it jumped
from the track, carrying with it four
mail cars and an express car. The tres
tie gave way for 4 space of fifty feet.
At the foot of the trestle is a shallow
stre,<n, with Il rocky bottom. Striking
this the engine and the ears were re-
duced to mass of twisted iron and steel
and pieces of splintered wood Each car

TRADE IN FARM MACHINERY.
Rapid Growth Shown in Exports of
American Mnde Goods.

Rapid Growth Shown in Exports of
American Made Goods.
Agricultural implements exported from
the United States last year amounted to
sol 100000 in value. in 1893 they
amounted to only $4,500,000 in value
in 1883 to less than $4,000,000, in 1878
to S2,500,000, and in 1863 to less than
100000. The growth of expectation of
this class of manufactures has been ex-
tremely rapid. Prior to 1865 the expor-
tation of agricultural implements had
never reached as much as $1,O00,000 and
during the twenty-five years following
that date the growth was slow, the total
having reached about $3,S59,000 in 1890.
From that date forward, however, the
growth was rapid. BY 1896 the total
was $5,500,000; in 1908, $16,000,000, and,
as already indicated, in 1908, $21,0OO,-
900. Of this total of $21 100000 worth
of agricultural implements exported last
year nearly $3,O00,0O0 in value went to
France and about an equal sum to Ar
gentina, $1500,000 to the United King
dom and about an equal sum to Ger
