New York, Dec 10.-R G.. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade today
says:
Wall streets severe reaction was not
due to any setback In the commercial
world, all measures Of legitimate trade
showing wholesome progress and conf
dencs in the future is mistaken. Rail-
way earnings In November averaged
SO per cent greater than in the same
month Of 1903, and the distribution of
merchandise is sufficiently heavy to
produce freight blockades' at several
points. Manufacturing plants reported
increased output in almost every in
stance. Seasonable weather has slim
ulated trade in wearing goods, and hol-
iday goods are In great demand. For
eign commerce at this port for the
last week shows gain Of $2,029,971 in
exports as compared with the same
week last year, while imports increas-
ed $2,o0s,591.
Each week there Is an increase in
the number Of steel mills and iron
furnaces in operation, output steadily
increasing despite the fact that this is
normally the dull season. Quotations
of finished steel are very firm. Per-
sistent advances in the minor metals
have at last received a check.
Footwear is strong, and while no
change is noted in current prices, a
general advance of cents is deman-
ded on future business.
The cotton goods market has re-
manned fairly steady. More sales Of
heavy woolens and worsteds are re-
ported at former prices, but it is gem
orally believed in the trade that high
class woolens will hereaf .er command
an advance of at least II per cent "a
bove last years price.
Failures this week numbered 239 in
the United States against 331 last year
and 26 in Canada compared with 20
year ago.

Chicago, Dec. 1O-Wheat-The wheat
market has been nervous within mar

duce crop sensation and the breaking

prices. Trade, is, however, fearful OF

IOWA POPCORN KING.
Edward Lloyd Of WavsrIy, Raises I
$4,000 BushsI Crop.

12,OOU bushoI Crop.
Waverly. Dec. 10.--Hdward Lloyd
living northwest Of this city. Wednes-
day cribbed the last load Of @ 10000
bushel crop Of pop corn. Mr.. Lloyd
has been in the pop corn business ex-
clusively for many years. He first boz
gan on a small scale and has each
year Increased his acreage until his
crop has grown to the present vast
proportions. As the crop is not mar
ketable until the second year, he has
now stored about 10000 bushels OF corn
upon his place.
In the twenty years that he has been
raising pop corn, Mr.. Lloyd has re-
ceived an average Of 81 per bushel.
His entire crop is consigned to COM
mission merchant in Chicago, who con-
tracts for 1t before 1t is planted.
In spite Of the large sum, which MI.
Lloyd receives for his product, he has
never been persuaded to purchase an
acre Of land. He builds his cribs up
on rented land and when he moves he
takes them with him. So far as is
known, Mr.. Lloyd has right to the
title which is sometimes applied to him,
that of Pop Corn King"

Farm Property Sells Well.

Special to Times Republican.
Geneva, Dec. 10. - That good times
are ahead Of us is indicated by the
rapid manner in which a large amount
of property was disposed of at a public
sale Thursday afternoon on the farm Of
the late William Glidden, west of town.
Three thousand dollars worth Of prop
erty was auctioned off In less than two
hours time. At some of the earlier
public sales property was sacrificed on
account Of a pessimtistic feeling a
mong the farmers. Now that the corn
crop Is safe and is being moved at a
good price there is a more optimistic
feeling prevailing.

MANUFACTURING is ACTIVE.
Holiday Trade Promises to Reach .
Large Total.

New York, Dec. 10.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
While distribution displays more ir-
regularity, manufacturing industries,
with few exceptions, continue very ac-
tive. Western jobbers, fail to report
an active recorder movement in staples,
but holiday trade Is progressing favor
ably and promises, with favorable
weather. to reach large total. Holt
day specialties in groceries, dry goods
and fancy articles have had a large
sale, and the hardware movement is in
excellent shape. The feeling is one of
optimism in trade, and the course is
to look forward to 1905 with confidence.
Some lines report future quarters
trade already practically booked.
Railway earnings returns point to
very heavy traffic proceeding. Gross
earnings returns for November show
an aggregate gain of 1Ok per cent over
last year. Clearings are OF enormous
volume and compare fave,rably not on
ly with last years totals, but with the
large transactions of previous years,
and are only Is per cent below the rec
ord week ending May 10, 1901.

THEORY OF PHILLIPS DEATH.
Believed He Wandered From Train
While Delirious From illness.


Special to Times
Boone, Dec. 10.-A letter from Red
Bluff. Cal, received yesterday, explains
the death Of Roy A. Phillips, the Boone
young man whose dead body was found
near Red Bluff, December 3, and whose
death was shrouded in mystery. Three
men from Red Bluff came across the
body in a clearing in the brush. The
coroner closely examined the body and
searched the clothes but found nothing
which would lead to a theory Of foul
play or suicide. The only theory is
that he was taken i'll on the train which
passed three hundred yards away and
stopped at the crossing. Here he prob
ably wandered from the car and being
delirious with fever fell to the ground
where he was found dead. 1t is thought
that he died on the 18th or 18th of No
vember as he left Dunsmuir, which is
about eighty miles from Red Bluff on
the 9Th or 9th, after writing home.

MILITARY WILL PASS
UPON HAYS NOTE
Secretary's Proposition Arouses Mixed
Feelings in Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 11-Sec-
rotary Hays note to the powers has
attracted much attention in diplomatic
circles here. Any movement having for
its purpose the limiting of the scene of
hostilities is received with sympathy,
but in certain quarters the practicable
ity of the action suggested is ques-
toned. At the foreign Office 1t was
learned this afternoon that no response
had been made and it was considered
extremely doubtful whether Russia felt
herself in a position to make any dec
larations now, as these might hamper
her military operations.
The question was said to be one for
the military authorities to decide and
the representations Of Secretary Hay
will be referred to Viceroy Alexieff.
Newspapers here do not fully UNDER
stand the purport of the note and re-
gard it as an attempt at mediation, the
bare suggestion of which, while the
country is smarting under the sting of
defeat, creates irritation.
