It will require only united action on

Baltimore, February 9.-NO figures
on los and insurance that can be re-
garded as official are obtainab!e. a
careful anVass of insurance experts,
builders and business men placed the
loss in round figures at S125, 900, coo and
the insurance at from $50, O00, 900 to
$50. OO1. 600. 1t is probable that these es-
Inmates will stand with slight change
when the final figures are gotten.
Much valuable property that lay in
Mondays fire path was saved by the
prompt efforts of merchants, n in
that section the stock losses will be
lighter than elsewhere.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE NOT KNOW
Today gave opportunity for a careful
original fire in the Hurst building. It
was first reported that the blaze start
ed from the explosion of a gasoline en-
gine in the cellar. but this theory is
given an emphatic denial.
Henry s. Hurst. of the firm of john
E. Hurst & Co, said that there was no
gasoline in the building and that the
fire did not have its origin in an eXplO-
sion OF this liquid in the Hurst build
ing. This statement was
corroberated by a signed statement is
sued by S. W Thepper & Sons, insur-
ance agents and brokers who said. that
latter careful inspections by deputies
of their firm and of the Fire Under
writer's Association. they were salts
fled that there was no gasoline IN the
building.
Mr.. Hurst said that he n Charles
George. a trusted employee, were the
last persons to leave the building al
$50 D. m. Saturday and that all the
electric lights were turned of by q
switch: 1t is not denied that the fire
originated in the Hurst building. but
how it started is yet to be learned.

ERROR LEADS TO FORTUNE.
Real Estate Broker Buys Securities
Worth $4,000 for $S15.

New York, May 20.-Through a mis-
understanding on the real estate ex-
change, ]. c. Davies, a broker dealing
in suburban lots, has made small for
tune. He bought at auction for $S15
block of miscellaneous securities worth
more than 5000.
The real estate man was leaving the
building when he heard an auctiOneer
offering for sale six shares of the stock
of a well known trust company. No
bidders were about and Davies calmly
offered $50, finally raising his bid to 500
at which price the stock was knocked
down to him. The last quotation on
the stock was $3.50 bid and $40 asked.
Davies then secured 125 shares of a
Kansas City trust company at 81 each.
The next purchase was seven shares in
a building company which owns a large
office structure in the Wall street dis
trict. For these he paid So a share.
They are worth about $500. Fifty shares
shares in a Kentucky coal company
went for a few dollars.
Some time after the auction had been
closed it was learned that a represen-
tative of the owner who was to have
been present to support the market and
keep the stocks from being sacrificed
had misunderstood the matter and was
absent. Davies offered to cancel his
purchase if it could be shown that the
securities belonged to a person who
would be seriously hurt financially
This brought to light the fact that the
sale was for the estate of Theodore
Havemeyer and the dealer in suburban
lots took up his bargains

REVIVAL IN TRADE.
NIilder Weather Is Having an Effect
on Business.

New York, May 20.-Special dis
patches to the International Mercan-
tile agency describe a, general trade
revival this week at prominent west
ern and southwestern centers. The
stimulus is noteworthy in contrast
with conditions existing during the
previous month, and has its basis in
more seasonable weather and in
creased orders for spring stocks. job
bling centers report a material addi-
ton to the volume of restocking
business" with a tendency among
many merchants to duplicate orders
previously given for spring goods.
Dry goods have been particularly ac-
tive, with a healthy demand for both
spring and fall stock. Clothing lines
are also rejecting improvement,
which is specially evidenced through
out the southwest. Boots and shoes
more active with more inquiry for
the better qualities.
= Heavy weight goods have been con-
sumed in such quantities as to exhaust
supplies of ''carried-oVer stock to the
lowest volume in years. This has
placed dealers in specially strong po-
sition to handle seasonable goods,
which they are doing proitably and
expeditiously, owing to the generally
has been noteworthy, however it is
doubtful whether the present thrush
of orders will be sufficient to make
good the March and April deficiencies.
People generally seem to be well sup
piled with money and while cautious
about engaging in new enterprises, are
not backward about securing goods
they really need. Everywhere under
lying conditions are reported sound.
The crop situation has been greatly
benefited by the warmer weather,
which has advanced wheat in sections
where backward spring did great
damage. Although wheat suffered Sc
rious injury by the setback encount-
cred during the recent cold snap, a
fair sized crop can be counted on if
normal conditions prevail. Most
grains will be harvested two or three
weeks later than usual, although it is
quite possible that the next govern
ment report will describe a generally
better condition than was shown by
the last figures. Winter wheat is show
Ing particularly well in some sections.
Seeding in the Red river valley district
has been retarded by unfavorable
weather, so that the crop outlook in
that section is problematical. Else
where throughout the northwest en-
couraging conditions prevail.
