WEEKLY TRADE REVIE w

Improvement in Business.

New York. March 6.-Bradstreet's re-
view OF trade tomorrow viii say:
''Distributive trade shows growth from
week TO week as the spring season ap-
proaches. and the tone OF trade as a
hole is more optimistic. but despite the
large number Of buyers In evidence at
leading markets. the character OF the
business done does not vary from that
hitherto described. Conservative buying.
largely Of staples. is the rule. and the
uncertainty as to prices in many lines
acts as a check 70 fullest activity
This is especially manifest in some
lines. as. for instance, cotton gooGs.
where prices have been Of late sharply
reduced without. however. evoking the
interest expended. In few. if any. cases
are comparisons with a year ago salts
factory, and a number OF measures of
monthly trade and industrial movement
point TO shrinkages OF 2S per cent or
more.
Collections are still widely complained
OF. and in this direction reports are no
better than are the advices as TO vol
ume of business doing. Money is easier
Retail trade does not quicken greatly.
although large centers show special ef-
forts put forth to stimulate buying, either
Of winter goods at concessions or ot
new spring season fabrics. The reports
received from the leading industries are
still conflicting The iron and steel in
dustry unquestionably has a better tone.
and the output Of pig iron in February.
a short month. seems to have slightly
exceeded that of January. although fall
ing far behind a year ago.
The textile trades show little change.
There is much short time in all these
lines. Raw wool is moving only at con-
cessions. and the lumber trade is very
quiet"

confidence Jobbers note more pressure

merchandise, orders in many cases being

very good sign. The advanced season
has also contributed TO the better feel
ing by acceleratng the distribution of
spring goods and stimulating interest IN
building operations. Industrial plants are
more active. pig iron production rising
TO the best weekly average In three
months
Some strikes were threatened because
OF necessary. reductions In wages, but
little interruption occurred.
There Is a suggestion OF permanence
in the steady Improvement IN the iron

Each week brings few more mills and

hcattons on old contracts constantly call

EXTORTION TRIAL ON
Former Bank President on
Stand in Lively Hearing.
ATTORNEY vIDAvER ACCUSED
w VI. Montgomery Gives His Yer
sion OF Attempt to ExtOrt $500
from Him-ShOyvs Bitterness To-
ward Attorney General Jackson.
Paid Money for Immunity.

New York, March civilian NJ Mont
gomery, ex-president OF the Hamilton
Bank, went on the stand to-day and gave
his version OF the attempt he says was
made TO extort $3.50 from him by Nathan
Vidavar, who was one Of Attorney Gen
eral Jackson's special deputies, and repre-
sented that he had enough influence with
the attorney. general te stop any criticism
OF Montgomery and the Hamilton Bank
that might come from that Office.
Montgomery told practically the same
story set forth in his affidavit made after
Montgomery arrest, adding a touch or
two that was not down in cold print
The hearing was a lively one. made so
by the protests of NidaveT's lawyers
Frank Moss and ". NJ. X. Olcott. Frank
Moss practically told Magistrate Herr
mann that Vidaver was not getting a
fair show. and that evidence was being
introduced against him that was out
rageous and not permissible in any court
Does Not Lose His Temper.
Magistrate Hermann didn't lose his
temper. however. nor did he heed the OBJ
jections made 10 the line OF testimony
offered by the district attorney.
Hermann. Vidaver was the most eX-
cited man in the room except when his
lawyers became wrought up in an effort
10 restrain him. Comments that could be
heard all over the room were made by
Vidaver on MontgomeTy's testimony.
Mr.. jerome was represented by Assist
ant District Attorney Kresel. Near him
SAT- Howard s. Cans. one OF Mr.. Jerome's
ex-assistants, who is counsel for Mont
gomery.
Montgomery was witness for over an
hour. and whenever he came to mention
Attorney General Jacksons name he
showed some bitterness. usually raising
his voice and proaouncing the attorney
generals name with emphasis He had
been a manager Of branches Of the Ham,
ilton Bank. he said. then vice president.
president, and finally retired when the
bank was reopened.
Immunity from Attack.
Montgomery's version of the meeting
with Grossman and the luncheon at the
Astor House when he passed the $500
TO vidaver, was practically as told in his
affidavit- The last promise Of Vidaver.
according to Montgomery, was that Jack
son would not attack him any more. That
ended Montg0mery's direct examination.
and the cross-exsmination viii be taken
CD next Wednesday afternoon.
Attorney General Jackson made a state
ment to-day reiterating many OF the
things he has said about Nidaver. He
says ne hopes that the charges against
VidaYer viii be thoroughly investigated.
and If 1t is proven that he was guilty
of unprofessional or criminal conduct he
hopn6 he will be prosecuted
Mr.. Jackson says he viii be glad to
assist in any way he can TO ascertain the
truth Of the charges.

their hardest. They all say they were
doing this and nothing more.
F. Leroy Holmes of Chicago also
had an unpleasant experience with
the spectators this afternoon. He
was giving a splendid exhibition in
standing high jump when without
any cause whatever, the spectators
commenced to boo" This got so bad
that the referee had to call out that
| if the disturbance did not stop the
jumping would be postponed. This
threat served to bring quiet after
Holmes had been made~very uncom-
| Portable.
This and other signs of i'll feeling
toward the Americans has not escap-a
ed the notice of continental visitors.
the French representatives who have
been following the sports particularly
condemn the way in which the
Americans have been treated. After
the 400 meters race and the Holmes
incident they with other of their
lcountrymen, took up arguments in
behalf of the Americans.
America is not alone in its protes-
tations against unfair treatment.
Sweden has withdrawn all it's men
from the Graeco- Roman wrestling
contest on the ground that one of the
Swedes, Anderson, was unfairly de-
prived of a bout yesterday.
Whatever may be the facts of the.
unfortunate episode both the English
and Americans firmly believe that
their men were absolutely right and
the others wholly wrong. The result
is likely to be extremely damaging
to Anglo American athletics for years
to come The British public takes
sport more seriously than any other
nation and has the fullest confidence
in English judges, and receives the
decisions in international events with
implicit confidence.
Moreover the Englishman concerned
in the event. Lieutenant Halsewell, is
la gentleman of the highest standing
and an officer of popular regiment
which counts for much with his
countrymen., who are certain that he
would not knowingly profit by an un--
fair ruling I'm his favor.
other events of the day seem I'M
important as compared with the
eruption over tile 400 meter race. The
200 meter contest was a splendid con-
test and Kerr. the Canadian. won, as
was anticipated, but the Americans,
Cloughen and Cartmell. gave him
fierce struggle the three finishing al
most together. Kerr received an ova-
ton. The Americans applauded him
as enthusiastically as did his own peO-
pie.
The standing high jump was almost
exclusively an American event. Ray
Ewry of the New York A. C. won the
final. topping the bar at feet =

itaras. was an inch below him, tying
with ]. a Bailler of the Brooklyn Cen

Some nights ago number of friends dropped in for the evening. and the husband. who. by the way, is a south erner. suggested that he make a mint julep for each of the company. The suggestion was received with delight. and the juleps were promptly mixed
 In his wife's glass, however. he put only enough whisky to flavor the wa ter. probably not more than tea spoonful. of this she slipped about same She was troubled with insomnia all night long and it wax not until 5 o'clock in the morning that she drop- ped on to sleep and. as consequence. was not called for breakfast
 At 10 o'clock she came downstairs and hearing the voices ot children on the front porch stopped to listen. Her heart filled with motherly pride as she heard her elder son. boy of six. tell ing seven or eight children from the neighberhood that they must not make too much noise as his mamma was asleep Imagine her horror. too. as the young hopeful added:
 She drank so much whisky last night that she couldn't come down to breakfast this morning"
