IMPROVING THE ollIo.

The Chicago Tribune throws cold
water on the 9-foot stage movement
in3the Oaio, ard thinks the extraordlfi-
AIRY expense OF the Ts;nmian canal will
be suff cient drain on the govern
ment's treasury receipts for several
years ii come. The Tribune says
the improvements necessary 10 a OIL
foot stage would cost 100000, 900 and
the inference is that the government
should stop all appropriat for i'm
tefnal improvements until the canal Is
completed, which would be according
TO the estimate Of the canal engineers,
ten years hence.
In other words the Tribune favors
letting the Improvement of cur greas

pu-snetl for several years, satisfactory

THE RADCLIFFE AFFAIR
ay THroDORr BRONSON.

BY THEoDORE BRONSON. fCopsright. 1905, by Daily Story Pub.
 Co.)
 When Homer Radcliffe was sum- moned home from college by the trag- ic telegram announcing the murder or his grandfather and cousin he was started entirely out of his devil-maye care existence and plunged into posi- tion of greatest responsibility.
 He arrived at the old place on the evening following the discovery of the crime and found it in possession of small army of detectives and reporters from the city and the center of excit- ed curiosity. The grewsome<story was soon told him. Hannibal Radcliffe, his hite-haired old grandfather. had been found that morning dead in his bed with an ugly hole in his heart caused by a knife or dagger. The bed room of his cousin Ida showed evil dent signs of a struggle, and the girl was missing.
 Near the pump in the back yard her handkerchief was found. together with some fragments of her gown, and here again were evidence of a struggle, the most notable of which was a pool of blood. The most minute search had failed thus far to find the body of the murdered girl, but the officer in charge of the detectives assured Homer, with some mystery, that there were clues important clues-and that the boys" were closing in on the murderers.
 What are the clues?" asked Homer.
 That I prefer not to answer just at the present moment" replied the officer, with an air of deep gravity. You know, we learn in this business to be very cautious-over-cau va awl,o ha aAdAd ann1n- getically. The least slip might up" set all our plans, and you really have no idea how things get whispered about when known by even a. single layman. But, sir, you shall know the moment anything definite is learned"
 Homer thanked him cordially, and silently admired the splendid boise of the man and wondered at his wonder full acumen. Talk about a college training" said he to himself why. this uneducated fellow can give cards and spades to the best professors in psychology in any university, and leave them at the post"
 The young man gazed long and mournfully Into the best features of the old man, who had been the only father he had ever known. All the gruff kindnesses and eccentric mani festations of love came back to him. and manly tears filled his eyes as the panorama of memory passed before his mental vision.
 'why was it." he asked himself that this good old man, who never had done anybody an injury. whose life had been given to helpful deeds for others. should be the victim of Sd awful a crime?"
 His gruff manner could not explain 1t, because while 1t sometimes grated and hurt. it never left the sting of hatred. as 1t simply covered and never voiced the true emotions of his heart
 Setting his teeth with click strangely like tho habit of the dead man, he exclaimed almost audibly:
 'T will find this mans murderer fl it takes me all my life and I will bring him to justice"
 He went to his old room and sat

Rrndstreet,s Review.

New York, Jan. 2O.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Industry still maintains a position of re-eminent activity while distributive trade for spring, not as yet fully open, lacks definite form in some lines.
 The holding off tendency hitherto noted in the cotton goods trade. still continues, but in wooden goods fall fa- brics have been opened at q notable advance; the shoe and other goods show increase activity; hardware and gro- ceries are being sold freely and lumber is strong at higher prices than last year.
 With the exception of the South and portions of the Southwest. where lower priced cotton affects collections and clouds the future, the feeling Is one of great confidence in the future, and par ticularly as to the first half of the en- suing years business.
 Iron and steel in it's cruder forms have been rather Quieter this week and the wire edge of demand being taken off, foundry iron and Bessemer pig have been shaded in price. This is only an Incidental effect. however, and Is claimed to be not symbolic of condi- tions IS a whole, which in finished lines particularly are said to be very strong The coke situation is easier with prices

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
MANUFACTURE SHOWS MORE PROG-
 RESs THAN DISTRIBUTION.
Largely Due to Unreasonable Weather and Situation at the South, Where Collapse of Cotton
 Price Ia Felt.

New York. Jan. 20.--R. c. Dun & Co.'S say:
 Progress is more rapid in manufac- ture than in distribution, but this is largely due to the effect of unsea- sonable weather at some points and the unsettled feeling in the South. where the collapse of cotton prices has re- tarded,. tsrdsd eoiiectio1s t,oIe and caused many maintained by mills and furnaces may be taken as, evidence of confidence in the future.
 Iron and steel plants lead in activity with wool as the feature in textile fabrics. Settlement of the protracted labor struggle at Fall River Is en- couraging, but the industrial atmos- phere is disturbed elsewhere. although on the whole. less than the customary idleness for this season. Prices of newly opened lines of woolens are high CT. as was to be expected in view of the position of the raw material, but consumption is not curtailed.
 Railway earnings for January thus far show a gain of 2.3 per cent. Fora eign commerce at this port Is also bet ter than year ago, the last week showing gains of $1,555.sss in value of imports and $292,9S6 in exports.
 The maintenance with scarcely any alteration of quotations of iron and steel is the best possible guarantee of continued activity. Conservatism now SOhlIolS lue SlIudJlOIl, HOlulHB pElCSS at position that Is attractive, consider ing the volume of business and cost of production.
 Coke ovens are establishing new rec ords of fuel output and traffic condi- tions cause little delay Very exten- sive contracts for machinery are pend- ing. The Pittsburg mills are behind on deliveries on billets and bars. Struc- tural steel and rails are quiet, although large contracts are pending.
 Some demand is recorded on packer native hides. as these constitute the bulk of current receipts. This is sea- sonable influence and does not detract from the general tone of strength.
 Failures this week number 335 in the United States against 35S last year. and 24 in Canada. compared with 33 a year ago.
