TRADE IN RICHMOND.
Local Retail Business Shows
Signs of Holiday Activity.

Bradstreets has the following to say
Tor Richmond and vicinity:
Wholesale dealers in shoes. harness
and leather goods are busy; the same
Is true OF tanners and jobbers Of leather
and findings. Prices IN these lines con-
unue good. and collections compare IA
vorably. in most cases. with a correspond
ing period OF last year. Wholesale dry
goods and notions dealers have about
completed shipments for the winter trade.
and are nearing the usual end-season
dullness. Collections in these lines are
fair.
The offerings on the loose lear tobacco
market are large. and the quality gen
orally is poor but prices show an upward
tendency. and where a fair product Is
offered prices are good. The produce
market Ia devoid OF special features.
Prices are fair. and tho demand about

A WEALTHY MAN MURDERED
Tho Mystery In the Case Battles
the Police.
The Authorities Absolutely with
Out a C1ew - Entire Detective
Force of City Mt Work.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 3.-Develop
ments in the murder and robbery Of
James A. McMillen, aged 65 years, 9
wealthy business man, who was
found murdered and his pockets riff
ed at 1880 Friday morning near his
residence In the East End, have as
sumed a mysterious phase that baf-
files the police. The authorities stat
ed Friday night they are absolutely
without clue and announced that at
$3.50 Friday evening another highway
robbery occurred within a block of
Friday mornings murderous assault
Edward Young, driver, was held
up by three men who after beating
him into Inconsistencies took $50.
The entire detective force and num-
Der of special officers are at work on
the cases. They are working on the
theory that the three men who at
tackled Young were probably McMil-
lens assailants. The mystery sur
the murder was increased
when the detectives learned tonight
that two well-dressed men called at
The morgue to examine McMillen's
effects. They said they were attor-
leys and asked II any legal papers
lad been found on the body, adding
hat they were needed in important
litigation. They refused to give |
lanes and the authorities are now
rying to locate them. A post-mortem
has shown that McMillen
vas knocked unconscious with some
'lunt instrument and died from ex-
osure.
