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 o.
tober.
The lumber market is irregular.
Building activity is favored by the

DESPERATE PRISONERS ESCAPE.
Scaled the Fence of Ohio Penltentiary
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 a steeple climber in day
light, and how the prisoners accom-
plished the feat in the dark is a mys-
terry to the prison officials.
After reaching the roof the men
made a 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.

Marroquin Not Popular.
Panama, Nov. 16.-President MAR
roquins 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 BogoIa is
probably ignorant of the attitude taken
by the United States government dur
ing the last two weeks. In a 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 foregoing 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 Gen
eral Obaldia governor of the depart
ment of Panama after Obaldia had de-
clared that he would remain a Colon
bian If the treaty were 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-
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 tne
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.

the following about old settlers leav-
ing the country: ''We wish the old
settlers would not sell out. They are
the salt of the earth in the best place,
and they have spent the best years OF
their lives making magnificent homes,
and now in their old age to sell for
the pittance they are getting and 60 tc
some strange land is mistake and
one they will regret a thousand times.
Don't sell, rent if you are tired OF
farming, move in town but hang to the
old home where you have spent the
best of your lives"

There is one thing the. people OF
New York state did at the last election
and that was to vote for the expendi-
ture of $l0l, 900 for the widening
and deepening of the Erie canal so as
to allow barges of 1000 tons burden
to reach the seaboard. This means
much to the people of Minnesota as
the products of the farms and the
factories and mills for export to Eu-
rope can go by an all-water route, and
at big saving in cost of transporta-
ton. If the canal can be kept intact
for the benefit Of the people and is not
to fall under the control of the rail-
road influences it will prove great
saving in transportation rates to the
Atlantic seaboard. New York Citv
has been gradually losing large
share of the export business which of
late years has been diverted to other
seaboard points, but she is waking up
to the Importance of having more of
the western export trade and it begins
to look as if she would get it.

the following are likely to be the con-

less, but net earnings not materially
affected either way: the percentage Of
