GREAT INTEREST
 IN LUNACY TRIAL
MRS. SIDONlA BAUM IS UNABLE TO CONTINUE TESTIMONY AND THE CASE IS ADJOURNED FOR ONE DAY.

Meridian, Miss March 6-(SpeciaI. )-The great interest aroused in the sensational Iunacy trial of Mrs. Sidonia Baum was fully demonstrated upon the reconvening of the commission this morning by the large number of spectators who had as sembled to listen to continuation of the cross-examination of the defendant, who the day before pleaded for an adjourn ment because of the fatigue of her long ordeal on the stand The curiosity of the spectators was not satisfied, however, as another recess was asked and granted because of the condition of Mrs. Baum. The lady was present, but her lawyers announced that she was not yet recovered sufficiently to proceed with her examins- tion. Attorneys for the other side stated that they did not care to introduce other witnesses until the completion of their ex- animation of Mrs. Baum, and so consent cd to an adjournment until tomorrow morning at g o'clock
 Testimony in the case prior to the intro- duction of Mrs. Baum in her own behalf in no manner bears out the sensational charges she makes against her brothers in the manner of their treatment of her since the death of her husband in New York To the contrary, the evidence goes to show that the brothers of Mrs. Baum treated her with every possible considera- ton, providing her with trained nurse and affording her other costly comforts when she would allow them to do so. However, the evidence to support the lady in her statements has yet to be in- troduced.

DUN 6 CO.'S REVIEW.
Favorable Symptoms Are Noted In the
 Commercial Outlook.

New York, March CIR. G. Dun & Co. s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 ous in the commercial outlook, especially in respect to the growth of confidence. Jobbers note more pressure to replenish depleted stocks of staple merchandise, orders in many cases being for delivery next fall. The advancing season has also contributed to the better feeling by &C., celebrating the distribution of spring goods and stimulating interest in the building trade. Industrial plants are more active. pig iron production rising to the best weekly average in trade in months. Con- ditions are still closely scanned and mer- cantile collections are by no means satis- factory, yet payments are more prompt and the volume of business is distinctly heavier. There is 8 suggestion of perm anence of the steady improvement in the steel and iron industry that would be lacking were recovery more sensational Each week a few more mills and fur naces become active.
 Dry goods jobbers have done more busi- ress than expected, but thus far there Is little improvement in the primary market and few mlils have resumed activity. Jobbers will not begin operations as early as usual. Contracts extending well into the summer have been placed for sheet tings and inquiries from the bad trade promise good movement of odd construc- tions. Buyers have left the wooIen mar ket after placing moderate orders and liberal supplementary contracts will be needed to make up normal aggregate.
 Production of footwear at New Eng land factories is still much curtailed. idle plants not yet having received suffi- cient fall business to warrant the start ing of the machinery. Quotations ara

GENERAL TRADE |S
 MORE OPTIMISTIC Buying Is Still Conservative In
 Most Lines IRON TRADE IS HEALTHIER Textile Trades Are Showing Little Change, While Retail Trade Gen orally Is on Fair Basis at
 Concessions In Prices.
IRON TRADE IS HEAL LTHIER
New York March s.--Bradstreet's to-

New York, March 6.--Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: ~'t~
 Distributive trade shows growth from week to week as the spring season ap- breaches and the tone of trade as whole 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 to fullest activity. This is especially manifest in some lines, as for instance, cotton goods, where prices have been of late sharply reduced, with out, however evolking the interest ex- pected In few if any cases are com parisons with a year ago satisfactory, and a number of measures of monthly trade and industrial movement point to shrinkages of 25 per cent or more.
 Collections are still widely complained of, and in this direction reports are no better than are the advices as to volume of business doing. Retail trade does not quicken greatly, although large centers show special efforts put forth to stimu- late buying, either of winter goods at concessions or of new spring season fabrics The reports received from the leading industries are still conflicting.
 The iron and steel industry unques- tionably has better tone and the out put of pig iron in February, a short month, seems to have slightly exceed To, olt foll behind a year ago. The textile trades show little change. There is much short time in all these lines, raw wool is nov ing only at concessions, and the lumber trade is very quiet. One fact brought out Is that In some distinctively winter trades, as for instance ice harvesting, lack of money has caused restriction of cutting and storing.
