WEATHER A DRAWBACK
Possible Injury to Crops Is Also Feature
Conditions of the Steel
Industry.

New York, April pr. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Unreasonable weather is still the
chief drawback to improvement in
business, complaint being received
from every section OF the country, and
slower collections are also attributed
to this factor Not only is current
distribution of merchandise, partic-
ularly dry goods, effected by the ther-
mometer, but the future commitments
are undertaken most conservatively
on account of the possible injury to
crops. There is much confidence re-
garding the future, despite the fact
that at many points supplies Of mer-
chandise are burdensome.
With the exception of wearing ap-
parel, manufacturing plants are in
creasingly active, and structural work
is gradually resuming normal pro-
portions for the season. While No
further Improvement can be discerned
in the iron and steel industry, it is
gratifying to find no distinct evidence
of a setback Slightly lower prices
prevail for the leading agricultural
staples.
Failures this week numbered 241 in
the United States, against 1G6 last
year, and II in Canada, compared will

Marion, Ind, April 22-Jesse Hip
pie and E. L. Black, oil well opera
tors, have been living in temporary
dwelling near some wells they have
been drilling and operating, near Thir-
tieth street and Homeavenue. Wednes-
day night Nipple was alone, when
he heard a stone strike the door of
the building. He made an investiga-
ton. and discovered one of the oil
we'll derricks, situated a short dis
lance away, on fire.
He went to the derrick for the pur.
pose of extinguishing the flames, but
the entire rig was destroyed. When
he returned to his home some one had
looted it, taking a large amount Of
money, two suits of clothing, a watch
and two diamonds. 1t is thought the
OIL derrick was fired by the robber,
who decoyed Nipple away so that the
robbery could be accomplished.
