COMMERCIAL COLUMN
Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market ReDorts
Bradstreet's says:


Business in general has expert
enced further moderate improve
ment in jobbing as we'll as in whole
sale lines. Fall trade has reached
the maximum at some cities, and
most out-of-town merchants have
left the large centers for home,
though State fairs and fall carnivals
are attracting visitors to various Sec
lions, thus enlarging the volume OF
trade. On the whole, purchases
have been confined chiefly to staples,
and no more than actual needs have
been filled; therefore, Gales have
been considerably below those of last
year at this season.
This conservatism for which ap.
preaching elections and the dimin-
ished purchasing power OF the pub
lie, outside of the agricultural re-
gions, are responsible, is looked upon
with some degree Of satisfaction, II
being felt that, inasmuch as retail.
ters' stocks are not burdensome,
constantly good filling-in order trade
should be experienced throughout
the fall and winter. Relatively, best
reports come from the larger cities
of the West and Southwest. but
Southern and Pacific Northwestern
cities also contribute good returns.
Farmers appear to be more disposed
to let go of their products, and this
fact augurs well for future country
trade and some activity in railway
traffic, while 1t will tend toward bet
terment in collections.

RemOrSe Kills A Cow,

In a spasm of remorse, following
a protracted debauch, Brown Bess,
hitherto best behaved COW in the
herd of j. A. Peter, of Macedonia.
committed suicide by drowning.
Brown Bess had gorged herself in
an orchard, the ground of which was
covered with partially decayed ap-
pies. Around and around the pas
ture she ran, mooing hilariously, and
scandalizing all the other animals.
Occasionally she fell in heap, but
staggered up again. Toward even
ing, presumably experiencing the
first pangs of headache, she walked
to the steep banks of the Pequabuck
River and hurled herself over the
brink.-New York World.

YOUNG MEXICAN ACCUSED
ASSAULT TO ROB.

Bicento Gonzales was given hear
ing before Justice Welter yesterday
afternoon on the charge of assaulting
Materro Sidello with intent to rob,
and was bound over to the grand jury
under a bond of $25O.O0, which he
has not yet been able to furnish.
The claims of the prosecution are
that Sidello, who works for Jim Mil.
Ter, was in town with So in his pock-
cts, and that Gonzales and four asso-
ciates assaulted him in the alley at
the rear of the Joyce-Pruit store last
Friday night, beat him and took his
money. One of the gang enticed him
him that the other four, across the
street, were ''mal hombres." When
they were in a dark place all five
pounced upon him.
Gonzales was identified by wearing
a hat said to have been lost in the
fight by Sidello and by knife wound
on his arm, which Sidello says he
gave him. The other four are missing.
Gonzales protests his innocence OF
mits having had fight with Sidello.
He says that the two went to the rear
of the Joyce-Pruit store to fight over
a point of honor in his family.
