CONDITIONS ARE BETTER
II. G. DUNN X co. SAY THEY ARE
SOUND
NOT VERY MUCK REDUCTION
In Labor or Working Hours In the
Principal Cities

New York, Nov. l f.-Comparative-
ly sound conditionsI in commercial
and manufacturing interests are in
dicated by special reports to R. G.
Dun & Co.. from over sixty or more
of the leading cities of the country.
Conservatism in accommodating stock
is reported in most cases, and there
are many in which working hours are
being reduced and men paid OFF. As
a rule, however, the reduction is not
great, and is taken rather as a meas
ure of precaution than because of
greatly diminished orders.
Very favorable reports are receiy-
ed from many southern points, espec-
tally from Richmond, Lynchburg,
Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah,
Augusta, Mobile, Montgomery and
Knoxville. Falling off in business is
reported at Atlanta and Dallas and
to limited extent at other points
The system of clearing house certi-
ficates is most extensively in use in
Georgia, where they are accepted with
out question in small denominations
at Atlanta, Savannah, Macon and
Augusta. Knoxville reports ample
funds on hand, but at Nashville
clearing house certificates are being
freely used by the people. At Nor
folk conditions have been somewhat
less favorable, the difficulty in ne
gotiating exchange having retarded
the shipments of cotton for a few
days last week. but shipments have
improved this week, and business in
the cotton section is moving along
as usual. 1t is notable that from near
ly all points failures are reported to
be only normal in number, and col
lections are better than would be in
dicated by the stringent condition Of
the money market.

in answer to a Telegram that his son.
W. h. Hander. had been located in St

The Doctor is abDut hedrt-brOken
over his sons actiOns and said that
he was afraid that his wife would not
be able to stand the shock if he
should return without the boy. for
he could not be found in St Peters
burg.
Together with 7. c. Hansen. the
Doctor found that the boy had stop
ped at the PinellAs House. where he
gave his watch as security. He work
ed for three days for Mr.. Jones. at
the machine shop, and one day on
farm.
Monday the Independent accused
the boy of being the one wanted. and
he seemed TO grow suspicious, and
he left the Pinellas. saying that he
was going to Fort Meade. Agent
Thorne sold a TICKET to Fort Meade
that evening. but did not get a good
look at the purchaser
If young lander had bought a
ticket to Fort Meade on that day and
continued his trip he would have ar
rived at Fort Meade two hours be-
fore the father left there for ST
Petersburg.
He is described as ) feet. & inches

blackheads in his face, no moustache.
and has an impediment in his speech.
Other papers will please copy de-
scription and wire DR. Zander at
once. holding the boy with police
powers until his father arrives.
Dr. Zander was a pitiful sight
when he found that the boz had
left St. Petersburg, He seemed to
age ten years. He said the boy was
running the Fort Meade Observer.
and that it was not a paying PROPOSE
ton, and it worried him, affecting his
mind He stood high in Fort Meade
society, and that little city is much
interested in the case.

OF Ruef. for the Issuing Of a special
venire and for the appointment of an

Against these motions the defense OBJ
Jected with much spirit. and was sus
tained by the court on one point. Judge
Dunno refused at this time 10 order q

peared no good reason why an ordinary
Venire should not be summoned from the
