A------- prehension as to the
course OF business during the ensuing
months does not appear reasonably
warranted because of renewed labor
unrest ana disquieting crop reports. 1t
Is yet too early to determine 10 what
extent agriculture may be adversely
affected throughout the West, but at
present it does not appear that the
leading winter wheat sections have
suffered much deterioration. The week
has witnessed the outbreak of several
strikes, yet these are confined to limit
d forces of men, and arbitration meas
ures are expected to insure early adj
justments. Against the unfavorable
features there are TO be considered
several encouraging indications.
The volume of bank exchanges sur
passes that of the corresponding week
Of both last year and 1902, very good
evidence that debility is not character
isuc of the industrial situation. Mer-
camille defaults disclose no tendency
toward an increasing ratio. and, In
addition to cheaper money than year
ago, there is added strength in leading
products and distribution.
The Improvement which set in with
the advent of seasonGble weather has
been well sustained. Retail trade
reached the highest activity for the
year thus far, and there was stronger
demand in the jobblng branches on
more liberal orders from the North
west and the Southwest. In the manu-
featuring branches there is steady en-
ployment, with gain in Noutput appear
ing in steel, machinery and woodwork
ing lines.
Grain shipments, 1874, 172 bushels,
are the best in the past few weeks, but
are 1903 per cent under those year
ago. Buying of breadstuffs has shown
better within the last few days, and.
while -four is weak, prices advanced
In wheat 2 cents a bushel, oats five
eighths of a cent and corn one-half
cent. Live stock receipts, 321, 553 head,
compare with 1852 head for the pre-
vious week and PAL 1853 head year
ago. Choice cattle were In best de
mand and advanced 10 cents q hun
dredweight. Heavy sheep reacted
from recent high figure and shrunk 35
cents, while hogs declined ~ cents.

ture, but it came too late to recover
any large part of the tardy seasons
injury to spring trade. Quiet condi-
tons are noted in practically all lines
of wearing apparel, with the excep-
ton of specialties, such as tan shoes,
that cannot be delivered with sufficient
rapidity.
The percentage of idle factories has
increased, especially in textiles and
footwear and change in style has
rendered unavailable much silk ma
chinery. Structural work is increas-
ing.
Recovery in the iron and steel in
dustry IS again retarded by the unex-
pected dissolution of the Ore Associa-
ton.
Fuel conditions are unchanged, an
tnracite continuing active, while coke
and bituminous coal are dull and
weak.
After last weeks exceptionally
heavy transactions it was natural that
the Western hide markets should be-
come inactive. Prices remain firm,
however.
Commercial failures this week in
the United States are 206, against 202

1T5 the corresponding week last year.
Failures in Canada number twenty

twelve the preceding week and TWEEN

Fire at City Hall.

The city jail narrowly escaped
destruction by fire last night.
The chimney at the jail has been
defective for some time and last
night, a warm fire was built,
which communicated to the petition
and started the blaze. There was
only one prisoner in the jail at
the time. He was unable to give
the alarm but a passerby forum
ately noticed the smoke and the
firemen from the fire hall we're
summoned and soon had the blaz
-extinguished.

demanded that the article be found?
Not Mr.. jeffrey, who seems to lay little
or no stress upon It, but the old man
they call Uncle David. He, who to all
appearance possessed no interest in
his nieces personal property, was on
hand the moment these things were
carried into her husbands house, with
the express intention, it seems, Of in
quiring for this gold ball, which he de-
clared to be family heirloom. AS such
it belonged to him Us the present holder
of the property, and to him only. At
tention being thus called to it, 1t was
found to be missing, and as no one but
the police seemed to be to blame for its
loss the matter was hushed up and
would have been regarded as too insig-
nificant for comment, the trinket being
intrtnsically worthless, If Mr.. Moore
had not continued to make such n fuss
about it. This ball, he declared, was
worth rs much to Moore as all the
rest Of his property-which was bosh,
you know-and the folly of these asser-
tons and the depth Of the passions he
displayed whenever the subject was
mentioned have made some Of us ques-
ton If he is the innocent inhcritor he
has tried to make himself out. At oil
events, know for certainty that the
district attorney holds his name in re-
serve, If the grand jury fails to bring
in an Indictment against Miss Tuttle."
''The district attorney is WISE" re-
marked, and fell a-thinking.
Had this latent suspicion against Mr..
Moore any solid foundation? Was he
the guilty man? The memorandum l
had come across in the book which
had been lately pulled down from the
library shelves showed that. notwith-
standing his testimony to the contrary,
he had been in that house close upon
that fatal night If not ON the very
night itself. It also showed his eX-
IRENE interest in the traditions Of the
family. But did it show anything
more? Had he interrupted his writing
to finish his query in blood, and had
one Of his motives for this crime been
the acquisition of this filigree ball? If
so, why had he left it on the table up
stairs? A candle had been lit in that
room. Could 1t have been by him in
his search for this object? 1t would be
