Weekly Trade Review.


Bradstreets summary of the state
of trade says
While there are diverse movements
in domestic and foreign trade, the
tendency as a whole is for improve.
ment along conservative lines Buoy,
ancy in the stock market, possibly
largely manipulated, and the strength
of cereal prices are factors stimulat
ing to trade, but the advance of the
fall season with cooler weather In
some sections, and the prospect Of
good returns to the agricultural in.
terests, despite the heavy shortage in
the wheat yield, are all elements
tending to encourage buying.
The feeling in many lines is that as
the season advances and the corn crop
situation becomes clearer the need Of
additional recorders will result in a
fair volume of trade, comparing bet
ter with fall business year ago than
did last springs trade with the cor,
responding period Of 1908.
Collections show some improve
ment Money is rather firmer, reflect
ing the rather belated demand fol-
crop moving purposes. AS stated
last week, nothing of a record-break
ing character is looked for either in
general business or in crop out turn
this year, but good average trade
Is probably within sight.

GERMAN MOB KILLS so JEWS.
Uprising In Sasnovitch Rivals kishi.
neff Massacre In Horror.

Philadelphia, Sept. 90 - cable
gram says at Sasnovitch, a small city
in the province of Prisen, in Germany,
close to the Russian frontier, more
than so Jews were murdered one week
ago, while more than 100 were seri.
ously, some mortally, wounded. This
slaughter was coincident with the
celebration of the Jewish New Year.
Sasnovitch is city the populace of
which is composed of Jews, Germans
and Russians. With sunrise of Sun
day one week ago there started an
anti-Semitic riot rivaling in barbarism
and bloodthirstiness the massacres in
Kishineff The murders ended only
when the mob was exhausted by its
work
The butchered Jews were set upon
by the rioters after life was extinct
Their bodies were mutilated and dis
membered, the rioters using axes and
knives to chop off arms and legs and
even the breasts of women. These
severed members we're cast to the
dogs In the street
In one instance the sexton of syna.
gogue had his arms twisted from his
body by his assailants, and those of
the wounded who were carried to hos
pitfalls were maltreated after reaching
the institutions.

NOT A PERSONAL AFFAIR.
Publication of School Paper Subject
to Control of Authorities,

Albany, Sept. 20.-State Commis'
sioner of Education Andrew Draper
has upheld the right of the authorities
of school to exercise control of the
policies and business management OF
a publication which is held out to rep
resent the school.
The matter came before him for de
cision on an appeal Of Helen Clark
from the action of the board of edu
cation of Monticello Union Free school
district No | in the town of Thomp
son. Sullivan county, in sustaining
the action of the principal of the
school in suspending from school Mrs
Clark's son Matthew j. Clark, who
was the leading spirit In the puhlica
tion of the High School Mirror"
Young Clark had refused to submit
when the principal of the school di
rected him to turn over the manage
ment of the paper to an organization
of the pupils, claiming that the publ
cation was a personal affair Com
missioner Draper claims that he was
in error here, as the paper stood for
the school and thus was not private
affair but subject to public authority

SARATOGA CONVENTION.
Democratic Delegates Gather to
Nominate a State Ticket.
Speech of William B. Hornblower,
Temporary Chairman - Duncan c.
Lee of Ithaca to Be Permanent
chairman-Attorney General Cum
neen For Court of Appeals.

Saratoga, Sept. 20.-The $50 dele.
gates constituting the Democratic con-
vention of the state of New York
gathered in convention hall here at
noon today.
Frank Campbell of Bath, chairman
Of the state committee, called the
convention to order. and on motion of
John N. Carlisle William B. Horn
blower of New York who had been sub
stituted as delegate for James W.
Gerard of the Goth district, was cleo
ted temporary chairman.
John A. Mason, Thomas F. Smith,
Edward Seligman. w. II. Murphy, F,
A. Willard and William F. Kearney
were selected as secretaries.
The state committee reported that
there were no contests for seats,
fact which was noted as being ex-
tremely rare in state conventions
Today's session of the convention
was devoted entirely to preliminary
organization, including the speech of
the temporary chairman, william B.
Hornblower.
Deputy Attorney General Charles S.
Bnlgor of Oswego, who was slated for
permanent chairman, is not to serve
In that capacity, owing to his active
candidacy for the nomination for at
torney general to succeed John Gun
neen, who it is supposed will be NOM
mated for associate judge Of the court
of appeals.
1t is not generally believed that the
convention will endorse the Republi-
can nomination of the present associ-
ate Judge, William E. Werner of Ro-
chester. There is feeling that Judge
Werners candidacy in 1902, in opposi-
ton Of the reelection Of Judge John
Clinton Gray, justifies a refusal to en-
dorse him as a non-partisan candidate.
There is no doubt of the acceptance of
the Republican nomination of Judge
Edgar M. Cullen, Democrat, of Brook
lyn as candidate for chief Judge.
The only things about the platform
regarded as certain are that 1t will be
comparatively brief, that it will in
dorse the Democratic national ticket
and drastically denounce the state ad.
ministration of Governor Odell.

CONTRABAND OF WAR.
Russian Answer to the American
Notes Delivered.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 20.-The Rus
regard to contraband of war has been
delivered. 1t follows generally the
lines of the reply to Great Britain.
On the broad question involved Russia
recognizes the principle of the immu-
nifty of innocent trade with Japanese
PORTS, but she holds to her right to
stop contraband destined for the use
of the Japanese military or naval
forces.
The United States is informed that
instructions have been issued TO the
naval commanders and prize courts,
recognizing the dual uses and there
fore only the cOnditionally contraband
character of the articles of foodstuffs,
rice, etc. enumerated in section 10 of
article of the Russian regulations,
with the exception of horses and other
beasts of burden.
But the mere fact that consign-
ment is intended for private persons
or firms, Russia will not accept as
necessarily furnishing exemption from
seizure, should circumstances, for in
stance like the shipment Of full car.
go of food create a fair presumption
that 1t is intended for the use of the
Japanese government for supplying
her army or navy. The circumstances
of each case therefore will to Ger.
tain extent govern it.
Russia will not undertake at this
stage to interfere with the cases Of the
steamships Arabia and Calchas, of
which the courts have already taken
Jurisdiction, and in which the Vlad-
ivostok court found the facts but
upon appeal to the admiralty court
will apply its Interpretation of sec.
tion 10, which practically amounts to
an assurance that the -four, etc,
seized will then be released 1t is i'm.
probable. however, that all the articles
confiscated by the lower court will be
released
AS far as can be learned the COM
MISSIONS decision, as embodied IN the
instructions, does not go beyond the
articles enumerated in section TO- from
which 1t is inferred that coal railroad
material. machinery and boilers for
ships and even cotton are enumerated
along with munitions of war, etc, in
other articles which remain in the
category of absolute contraband. 1t is
understood, however, that private as
surances have been given the United
States that the American government
will be satisfied with the manner in
which the contraband rules will be
interpreted hereafter.

that a Russian statesman whose

says that although Russia in the end

Japan could hold out long enough tC
place an intolerable and useless strain
upon Russia. Russia therefore was
