TRADE REVIEW.
Colder Weather Has Eject of Stimu-
Iating Retail Business in
Some Sections.

New York, Nov 21.--Bradstreets says:
of the country has greatly stimulated
retail trade, and incidentally Quickened
jobbing demand in seasonable linen.
In some sections inquiries for holiday
goods exceed last years, the feature be-
ing the high grade of materials taken.
Interior retailers, helped by propitious
agricultural conditions, are reported
meeting obligations more promptly.
Farming interests are apparently in good
financial condition, an inference that
seems to be evidenced by the fact that
they display unwillingness to part with
their surplus products at anything less
than what they deem satisfactory prices,
though the movement of currency to
the interior continues, but on a smaller
scale than for some weeks Southern
conditions are especially good. While
the foregoing are the favorable develop
ments of the week, the fact must not be
overlooked that labor troubles, the
gloomy outlook for building, the clos
ing down of iron and steel mills, blast
@~A NN'NNS "AN ASoIASl lttuuSIlSS anu tilG
continued hesitancy in the buying of
practically all commodities, are factors
that mar the industrial as we'll as the
commercial fabric"
r. G. Dun & Co., in their Weekly Re-
view of Trade, say: Labor organi2a-.
lions are accepting reductions in wages
without controversy. which removes
one threatening industrial factor, and in
several branches of business orders are
more numerous, but III the steel industry
there is little expectation of liberal buy
ing until 1904. Construction work is de-
creasing, despite optimistic reports OF
more building permits issued last month
than year ago. Mild weather still
checks distribution of merchandise usu-
ally in brisk demand at this season,
which is reflected in restricted activity
at wooden and worsted mills and cloth
ingfactories. There isnot the complaint
of traffic congestion that was so frequent
last year at this time, railway earnings
81 per cent. higher than in November
to date in 1902 testifying to the increase
in facilities. A week has passed with
out any further reduction in prices of
iron and steel, and sentiment in the trade
tavors stability at the present position.
Failures this week were 249 in the
United States, against 266 last year, and
IL in Canada, compared with "a a year
ago."

CITY TAKES A HAND.
Use His influence to End Strike
More Cars Ran.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Twenty-five cars
on the Wentworth avenue line were
operated at five-minute intervals from
nine a. m. to five p. m. Monday, and
the schedule of one hour and 40 min
utes for the round trip was maintained
with slight deviation.
The councils session Monday indi-
Gated the depth of public interest in the
strike. After the passage of an order
for legal opinion on the right of the
police to ride on cars, resolution COM
mending the mayor was adopted, and
then the aldermen went further and in
structed the mayor to use his best eff
forts to cause settlement by arbitra-
ton, either by appointing committee
of citizens and aldermen for this pur-
pose or by his personal endeavor.
Chicago, Nov. 19.-Cars were run
Wednesday on Indiana avenue. as we'll
as on the Cottage Grove and Wentworth
avenue lines. Some attempts at yio-
lence were made on the first named road,
but the day quiet on others.
The cause of peace received a setback
last night. After II hours spent in con-
ferences the. city and the company
reached a deadlock at 10 o'clock. At
that hour Mayor Harrison expressed
small hope that settlement can be Sc
cured. The aldermanic committee will
convene again to-day. During the day
session the mediators received from
the strikers a proposition of conces-
sions. This was in turn submitted to
the company's representatives, who re-
fused to accede to it. The men proposed
to concede their demand for CLOSED
shop" and, it is said, to allow their pay
to remain as it is, asking chiefly for re-
arrangement Of schedules or hours of
work. At night second effort was
made, going over the same ground, to
secure counter concessions from the
company, but this was fruitless.
Chicago, Nov. 20.-A proposition
from the Chicago City Railway COM
pany transmitted to the mayor and al
dermanic committee last night forms
the opening for negotiations which
may bring settlement of the strike
to-day. The company agrees to arbi-
trate the wage question, and in respect
to the closed shop and time schedules
makes polite reply.

CUBAN BILL ADOPTED.
The House Puts Through the Reel
procity Measure by "a Vote of
335 to II.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The house on
Thursday, by a rising vote of 1886 to 81,
passed the bill to make effective the
Cuban reciprocity treaty The dissent
ing votes were about equally divided
between republicans and democrats,
but there was no record vote, the mi
nority having too few votes to order
the yeas and nays. The democrats,
under the leadership of Mr.. Williams,
sought to the last to secure amend
ments to the bill in accordance with
the action of the democratic. caucus,
but were defeated steadily. Mr.. Will
liams made the final effort when he
tried to have the bill recommitted to
the ways and means committee with
instructions to amend, but a point of
order under the special rule providing
for a vote on the bill without inter-
vening motion was sustained.
Havana, Nov. 20.-Great satisfaction
is expressed here at the news that the
United States house of representatives
had by big majority passed the bill
for reciprocity with Cuba.

BOTH MEN ARE FREED.
ID. v. Miller and Joseph M. Johns
Acquitted of Charge of
Conspiracy.

Cincinnati, Nov. 21.-D. V. Miller, OF
Terre Haute, and Joseph M. Johns, OF
Rockville, Ind, were on Friday acquit-
ted of the charge of conspiracy to ex-
tort bride from John J. Ryan, made by
the pest office department. The verdict
of mot guilty" was received by the
crowd with demonstrations that could
not be suppressed by the court officers.
AS soon as court was adjourned and
Judge Albert G. Thompson had retired,
pandemunium broke loose among the
jollifying friends of the defendants from
Indiana and others and continued for
some time. Miller and Johns and At
torneys Hiram ID. Rulison and Charles
w. Baker and others were overwhelmed
with congratulations. The defendants
finally broke away from the crowd Of
friends to shake hands with the jurors
and wept like children as they did so.
1t was Saturday night when the former
Jury reported at the first trial last month
that it was unable to agree. The pres
ent trial has continued since last Mon
day morning, and a verdict was reached
at a much earlier hour in the evening.
The jury retired shortly before three p.
m. and rendered it's verdict after deliber-
ating six hours. 1t is understood that a
majority this time was for acquittal from
the start and that it then took some time
to go over all the documents that had
been submitted in evidence before a
unanimous verdict was reached. 1t is
generally understood that there was
doubt as to Miller's connection with
the transactions between Johns and
RYAN. The charge Of Judge Thompson
during the afternoon occupied an hour
in it's delivery and was very strong
1t was evident to all after the charge
to the jury that the verdict was sur
prise, as the general prediction was that
the Jury would again be unable to agree
on verdict The penalty for the offense
Of such a conspiracy is two years or a
fine of SIS 600, or both. The federal Of
ficials acknowledge their disappoint-
ment in the final outcome, but express
some satisfaction in definite result as
It takes almost week to hear the case
and many apprehended that another
trial might be necessary. The govern
ment officials state that this case was not
like any of the other postal cases that
are pending, as this case simply dealt
with the action of Miller when he was
an assistant attorney in the post office
department.

The increasing frequency of bank fail
ures caused by cashiers or other officers
specializing in stocks seems to call for
more stringent legislation on the sub
tect. An officer of a bank stands in the
relation of a trustee to depositors, and
the moment he begins to speculate with
the funds of the bank he commits q
breach of trust and an embezzlement.
If justice were done there should be no
escape from the penitentiary for that
kind of specializing officers.
