PHOENIX TRAVELLERS
 FOUND THE EAST
Returns of Justice C. w. Johnstone ard His Son, Charles, From
 an Extended Trip.

Justice c. w. Johnstone and his son Charlie. returned yesterday afternoon on the Santa Fe. via the Southern Pa cifiC, from a months tour embracing practically that entire portion of the United States lying east of the Rocky mountains, except the Cook-Peary preserves around the north pole. They lad the finest kind of a vacation but not a minute of rest except that which nature demanded nightly for a little recuperation. Both of them lost flesh. and Charlie almost lost his life, but the thoroughness with which they did New York, was fully compensating.
 It was the first trip east for twenty years and Col. Johnstone was deter mined to get his moneys worth. Traction cars and all manner of rapid transit conveniences were employed between points of interest, but when the travellers got to good touring ground they took to shank's mares and prosecuted their investigations most painstakingly. The most startling in cident of their trip occurred the day they reached New York. Charlie, while boarding a street car, slightly in motion, was so zealously looking after the welfare of his father, that he did not notice that he was being whirl- ed along toward an upright construc- tion sustaining an elevated railroad. X moment later something fell and it wasn't the elevated railroad track. The colonel says that though Charlie looked like a tramp when he emerged from a mud puddle, and his arm and shoulder was badly skinned, he protected his kodak from injury, and his bruises healed in a day or two. It was a mo- ment of terror. however, and the colon- el thought at first his son was killed
 The first big city was Louisville, which was passed through going and coming. Though the colonel saw many of the friends of former days when he lived there. most of them are old and white haired, and changed in appear ance. Even more impressive than that fact was the marvellous change in the city he still fondiy refers to as home Old landmarks are gone, the appear anCe of things and customs have changed and much of the architecture is new and different. Though he had a splendid visit and enjoyed it more than anything else in the world, a feeling of sadness could not be smoth- cred and he felt almost like one be- reaved, looking on the face of the dead that which in sense is now dead to him. though once it was almost a part of his own being.
 The itinerary Of the travellers in

cluded Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati. Buffalo. Niagara Falls, Albany. New York. Coney Island of course. Long Branch, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Washington. etc. etc The visit to Mi agara included a trip on the Maid of the Mist, up under the falls and the trip down the Hudson was all that it has been described to oe. And the wonders Of the big cities in business way, their growth and the immensity of their institutions were almost over coming, even though the colonel is a reading man and keeps in touch with what is going on. It is one thing to read about something and another to see it.
 The mysteries of the metropolis were systematically explored. The travellers estimate that they walked from ten to twenty miles a day beside all the rId- ing they did. The tall buildings and the subway railroads that flash one across the city in a hurry. all called Tor attention and all caused surprise and wonderment
 At Washington the legislative halls were closed. but they could be peered into through the doors and there was enough else to attract attention in the monstrous capitol building in which they were twice lost. The National museum and all the other big state buildings were of great interest. Arl- ington cemetery was visited of course and score of other interesting places in the vicinity of Washington But as a place of pleasure and resort, in the coloners opinion Atlantic City beats them all. though he admits that Long Branch and .Coney Island are not half bad
 Of course he took in the big baseball games wherever he went and oddly enough the day he went to the ball park in every city visited. except one, there was double header game. The exception was Chicago, where he saw the White SoX and the St Louis team in desperate contest. Another in cident he will not soon forget was the little run of the regular train between New York and Philadelphia, where they trim off ninety miles in ninety minutes, and think nothing about it.

QUEER CONDUCT-Ma

QUEER CONDUCT-Mack Miller reported to the police that lot of MeXicans were throwing rocks and shooting at him last night. When the officers went to inquire he quit them in the dark. No trouble was found at the place he had indicated. Later he telephOned from a saloon to the chief of police that the Mexicans had hEn surrounded there. The officer went to his help but found nobody disturbing him. On the way to the city hall he kept pointing out his enemies in groups here and there. Evidently he was not intoxicated and the only alternative suspicion was insanity and he was locked up pending developments.

REVIEW OF TRADE FOR WEEK
II. G. Dun Says Business for First Half
of Month shows Expected
Progress.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16-R. G. Dun a Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade. tomorrow will
say:
Trade during the first half of January
shows expected progress. New undertakings
are encouraged by the more settled policy
regarding large financial and Industrial
affairs and ample funds are available,
Leading industries gradually increase work
ing forces and output and while IN most
lines both continue below normal the gains
established in the closing months OF last
year are fully maintained. disappointment
is manifest in the iron and steel markets,
demand lacking snap and requirements
coming out In a hesitating way. Better buy
ing was expected owing to cheap money
and owing to the fact that the entire coun-
try is practically bare OF finished goods
Little inquiry is received from the railroads,
Some weakness is noted In pig iron. Good
inquiries are received from pipe mills and
one large block is under negotiation. Bust
ness in rails continues very quiet. Wire
products show the nearest approach TO
normal activity. A slow and weaker market
for coke followed the increased production
and the smaller shipments have resulted
In larger stocks.
Perceptible Improvement appears In the
primary markets for cotton goods and
prices are held much more firmly. A re-
vival of export demand is a potent factor
in the direction of strengthening the mar
ket, the China trade having taken some
1000 to A,OO bales since the beginning OF
the year and buyers for export are expe-
riencing some difficulty in securing de-
livery. Tn event OF the week In the wooden
market has been the opening of staple
| worsteds by the leading producer with
prices showing an upward tendency. Yarn
prices have declined and the market con-
tinues inactive.
Buyers from the south and the west are
now appearing personally in the Boston
market and some fair orders have been
placed. the bulk OF the present demand be-
ing for spring goods. While jobbers are
hesitattng to pay the higher prices de-
manded by manufacturers for many lines
the interest generally shown in the market
points to a good normal business as soor
as price differences are adjusted. Cali
grades are In favor for the footwear, while
the heavy staples are in best demand fol
medium and low priced lines. The domestic
hide market shows increased activity anc
prices for country hides have advance
sharply. Foreign hides are generally firm
with sales increased.
