HIS DYING MESSAGE.
A Night Operator TelegraDhs That He Has
Been Fatally Shot by Robbers
while ct Work.

Jersey Shore, Pa, Nov 2O.-1 have
been shot through the window OF the
tower and am dying" This message
was flashed into the chief dispatcher's
office here last night by William Glen
denning, night operator at Browns
tower, on the New York Central rail-
road, five miles from the city. Half
an hour later the fulfllment Of the
message was found by officers who
hurried to the place on a special en-
CINE. Clendenning's body was found
ON the floor Of the tower, under desk
on which the telegraph instruments
were fixed, still warm, but dead. In
addition to a wound from a bullet to
which the tragic message had referred,
Clendenning's head was crushed. The
work had evidently been done with
some blunt instrument after the shoot
ing. The only theory is that the op'
orator was killed for the money he
was believed to carry.

Farming Interests Apparently In 0ced

New York, Nov. 2l.-Bradstreera
commercial report says: Coldez
weather over the greater part Of thu
country has greatly stimulated retail
trade and incidentally Quickened job
hing demand In seasonable lines. In
some sections inquiries for holiday
goods exceed last years, the feature
being the high grade Of materials
taken. Interior retailers, helped BY
propitious agricultural conditions. ara
reported meeting obligations more
promptly. Farming interests are ap-
parently in good financial condition,
an inference that seems to be evidenced
by the fact that they display unwtll-
ingness to part with their surplus prod
ucts at anything, less than what they
deem satisfactory prices. though the
movement Of currency to the interior
continues, but on q smaller scale than
for some weeks.
While the foregoing are the favor
able developments Of the week. the
fact must not be overlooked that labor
troubles, the gloomy outlook for build
ing, the closing down of iron and steel
mills, blast furnaces and leather tan
neries and the continued hesitancy In
the buying Of practically all commod-
tiles are factors that mar the industrial
as well as the commercial fabric.
It is a buyers market in iron and
steel and kindred products, with the
general tendency toward lower price
level, but quotations. have not exer-
cised much influence on purchasers
who seemed disposed to look for fur
