The progressive tendencies which thus

wheat are encouraging. damage TO exposed
fields being slight The markets for pro-
visions and live stock excite much inter-
est, speculative buying having forced
values TO a high level. although it is con-

conversion display sustained strength, and
the general demand remains vigorous as

Conditions in the distributive branches
become more favorable with the advancing
winter season. State street sales picked
up sharply during the few mild days and
for the month thus far are larger than a
year ago. Dealings in the jobbing lines
have expanded equal to expectations.
Bookings rose to an exceptional aggregate

large orders are marked for early ship

NEW YORK.

Better weather and improved roads
have developed stronger tone and great
er activity in dstributive trade, increased
deliveries of grain by farmers, and slight
ly relieved the congestion in transporta-
ton lines. though the latter situation is
still far from perfect.
Cold weather and price concessions
have helped to move remaining stocks of
winter goods. With wholesalers and job
bers, deliveries on orders are the main oc-
cupation, but there is apparently little let
up in the demand for cotton goods for
anything like spring or summer delivery.
Freer movement of grain has led TO ease
in wheat, corn and oats, and enormous
receipts of cotton have made for similar
condition in this line.

Life by Accidental Shooting.


Benton Kuppenheimer was shot and al
most instantly killed at the eesidesce OF
his father, Jonas Kuppenheimer, IN Chi
cago. The young man was about -
years old The police were inclined to
the theory that the young man killed him
self, and report to that effect was given
out. After further investigation Lieut..
Cranes men came to the conclusion that
death was the result of an accidental dis
charge of the revolver. This theory was
adopted on account of the peculiar posi-
ton of the bullet wound. at the rear and
base of the skull. Two sisters and a num-
Der of servants were in the house at the
time of the tragedy. Mr.. and Mrs. Jonas
