THE REVIEW OF TRADE.
Encouraging Factors Are Reported
AS PredOminnting.

PredOminatinE.
New York. July pr. G. Dun &
Co.'S. weekly review of trade to-mor-
row, will say:
Encouraging factors predominant
Little definite increase is seen in the
distribution of merchandise. but de-
velopments of the past week promise
better things in the near future. The
most important influence for good is
the brighter crop prospect For the
present the best news comes from the
large cities, where warm weather has
stimulated retail trade in light weight
fabrics, and jobbers report that orders
from agricultural communities are
much better than from manufacturing
Centers.
There are still many complaints of
slow collections In the principal
manufacturing branches there is still
much idle machinery. especially at cot
ton mills and iron plants. While most
window glass producers will not re-
sumo until September. Reports of
railway earnings for July thus far show
only a small loss of 1.5 per cent, as
compared with the same period last
year.
In the textile markets the most i'm
portant event is the decision of opera-
tives at Fall River to go on strike next
Monday against the reduction of 1871
per cent. in wages. In considering the
fact that there is little demand and
stocks of goods are ample for current
needs, II is probable that the trade will
not be seriously affected.
Failures numbered 231 in the
United States, against 191 last year.

BILL NYE'S WIDOW
AMONG THE VICTIMS
OF ASHEVILLE BANK FAILURE
AND WAS A WITNESS AGAINST
FORMER PRESIDENT BREEsE.

Mrs. Nye Told of Having Entrusted
Her Property and All Her Money
$1,000, TO Breese, Who Had Been
Her Husbands FRIENDSHIP Lost It,
BreeSe Again on the stand and
Gave Testimony on His own Be
half.
Charlotte, n. c., July 22.-When the
United States District Court convened
this morning for a continuation of the
trial of William T. Breese for embez-
element, the district attorney asked
and was granted permission to intro
duce Mrs. f. w. Nye, wife of the late
humorist, who resides at Arden, n. c.,
and who desired to return home
Mrs. Nye told of entrusting her prop
erty and all the money she possessed,
$500, to the keeping of Breese, and
said She lost it all. After the death of
her husband, she desired to take her
children on a trip to Europe, and be-
fore leaving Ashevlle she gave Breese
her papers and documents and in
structed him to invest her money He
had been a good friend of her dead
husband and she felt that she could
trust him implicitly. Mrs. Nye also said
she owned property in New York,
which was left in charge of Breese,
and lost this also.
Said He Wasn't to Sell.
Breese testified that, while it was
true that he had charge of Mrs. Nye's
papers, he did not understand that he
was authorized to act as her agent in
disposing of her property. He collect
ed the interest on her money when
due and passed it to her credit. When
the bank failed, he turned the papers
over to his son, w. E. Breese, Jr., an
attorney, and wrote Mrs. Nye to this
effect.
Upon her return from Europe, the
defendant visited her at Buck Shoals,
her country home, and explained all
the details of the failure. Upon the OBJ
lection of the district attorney. he was
not permitted to relate the conv ersa-
ton.
The witness denied that he drew
Mrs. Nye's money out of the bank.
saying he could not have done so
for the reason that he had no authori-
ty to sign her name to checks He
also denied all knowledge of the loss
of Mrs. Nye's property in New York
This property, he said, was purchased
by Mr.. Nye before his death, and was
covered by a mortgage.
Knew Nothing of FOrGeries.
Breese then went on to explain in
detail different notes and said he knew
nothing of the charges of forgery.
Mai Breese admitted that he had
signed the name of w. w. Rollins
to two notes for 81 900 each, on April
6. 1897. These We're the notes Mai
Rollins had declared to be forgeries
when he was on the witness stand
last week The witness said his re-
lations with Rollins We're cordial and
intimate. When he affixed Maj. Rol-
Inns signature to the notes it was for
the purpose of taking up two other
notes, which had been re-discounted.
Maj. Rollins was out of town at the
time, and upon his return. he ratified
the action by signing and giving Maj.
Breese a blank note
The defendant will likely remain on
the stand all day tomorrow, and an
other week will probably be consumed
with the trial.

as one of the most desperate, duels in
the annals of France, took place in

The former had stabbed "A lad named

exit. Dispatching a domestic for a sur

with its rich ostrich plume, and at
taching a slip of paper to II with the
words, Thou thrice-accursed coward,
Nalois, meet me, Bezarier and wear
this hat If thou darest" he sent 1t by
his own servant to Valois' lodgings and
then looked carefully to his sword and
daggers and left for the Three Broth
ers, residence OF his friend, Chretien.
He had only proceeded, however, as
far as the Church OF the Sacred Heart
when he saw approaching him Valois
himself with the identical hat on his
head. II was a lonely road, and there
was ample room there for two desper-
ate men bent on fighting a duel to the
death. In an instant their swords were
drawn and they sternly saluted each
other. The next and the blades We're

Steps were then taken to bring

reached tonight. This having been
done, both gentlemen signed it and
shook hands. 1t is said they are now

 The report in the New York papers

The Era published an interview from one of the officers of the Phelps-Dodge company, copied from the New York Commercial, in which the gentleman neither coflrms nor denies the rumor. The rumor, coupled with the heavy buying of shannon for some time past, and the resignation of Mir. Gill as president, clearly indicates that there will be change in the management of the com. pany. The Era is not prepared to say what crowd has control of Shannon, put Is inclined to the opinion that the honors are somewhat divided with the New England and Clifton people, as many of them are known to have been heavy purchasers for some. months past.

RANGE LEASING QUESTION
Will Be Discussed by the President
 in His Forthcoming nesssge

People who occupy the public range of the west will be interested in the forthcoming message of the president to congress, for the reason that this message will contain the presidents $ views and recommendation relative to the disposition of the grazing prob lem, and this very materially affects those who occupy these lands.
 The special land commission ap- pointed for the purpose made d full in- vestigation, conferred with the peo- pie in delegate convention held in Denver and then placed ts conclu. sions before the president in form of a report. It is popularly believed that as was the sentiment at the Denver mee ting, the report of the committee will recommend, and the president in his message will advocate the legiSla- ton necessary to classify such lands and inaugurate the new plan of occu- pancy of the range which will have as it's object the improvement and per manency of the public range which has steadily retrogressed.
 Prof. Forbes of the Arizona experi- ment station, who ably advocated a plan similar to the Australian law at the Denver meeting referred to, em- braced the same ideas in his address before the irrigation congress at Fl Paso this week on "Humesteads, LeaSeholds and Grazing Range Admin istration in the West. ."-Southwest Stockman.
