Weather, crop and Industrial reports

eral characterization difficult Taken
as a whole, there is, however, a slight
" larger business doing, this being par
t'cularly true of retail trade in Sec
tons wnere weather permits and in
bookings for fan and winter delivery
at wholesale.
In portions of the South and in the
East generally there is more confident
purchasing, higher prices for cotton
aiding in the former instance, while
the advance of the season helps trade
along the Atlantic seaboard. Business
on the Pacific coast has expanded
slightly, particularly in California. In
the central West trade at retail is ex-
banding slowly and rather better
business is reported with country mer-
chants. but jobbing activity Is not as
pronounced MS 1t was some weeks ago,
Industry is in a rather spotted con-
dition. There is more doing in iron
and steel, but largely II is claimed, at
the expense of prices. The improve
ment noted in the cotton goods industry
is maintained. Prices of staple goods
are firm. There is more doing IL silk

In the sustained high volume OF pay
ments through the banks and improve
ment In credits the business conditions
are encouraging. High prices for bread
stuffs and labor disputes are temper
airy cross-cllrrents, and leading retail
lines require more seasonable weather
for an ample reduction of merchandise,
but manufacturing makes some prog
ress, freight transportation Increases
and agriculture has started with an ex-
cellent outlook
Metal and woodworking gather
strength from the wider demands for
supplies. and iron producers have less
difilealty in negotiating contracts for
future deliveries. although no specially
large individual tonnages appear in the
bookings.
Increasing inquiries imsart better

Rector of Rich Trinity, New York,
Denies Property Harbors Vice.
Asserting that Trinity is the rich
church of the poor people, Rev. DIR. Will
lam T. Manning, the rector of that New
York church, Sunday morning made re-
ply to the criticisms which in the last
few months have been made against it,
defended every action of the vestry. de-
MED that any reason exists for the at
tacks, and outlined policy less conser-
vative than the one that has been fol-
lowed. 1t was the first time in 213 years
since the parish was founded, that Trim
ity has ever broken silence in regard to
its management and come out with a
statement in It's own defense. DR.. Man
ming preached for an hour and quarter,
whereas his usual Sunday morning ser
mons require about eighteen minutes for
delivery. There were 200 persons pres
ent. including five Of the vestry and some
parishioners from st. Johns Chapel,
which has been the cause of the contro-
versy. The rage Sunday morning au-
dience at Trinity is 100. Dr.. Manning
did not divulge what disposition the cor
poration wou4u make of st. John Chap
ell, but he surprised his hearers by an
nouncing that it is the intention TO build
a new church in that location. The
present situation" said DIR. Manning. lis
not an ordinary one, and il is one which
demands a plain and public statement
from the rector of the parish. Very
many of the statements which have been
made as TO the condition of the dwelling
house property owned by Trinity parish
are grossly untrue. Pictures have many
times been published, both in magazines
and newspapers. with the statement that
the wretched tenements shown in them
we're the property of Trinity parish, when,
in fact. neither the houses shown nor the
land on which these stood were owned by
the parish. or in any way connected with
1t. Certain papers have even published
pictures implying that our property IS
the home of drunkenness and vice and
disorder

New York Fears Famine Rates IL
Wheat Corner Is Not Broken.
With -four up 40 cents a barrel and
the prospects apparently good for fur
ther rise. New York City is nov facing
the possibility of bread at cents a
loaf What will appear to hundreds of
thousands in the poorer quarters like
famine rates for this staple bid fair to
be forced as result of the recent rise
in the price of wheat. The Ghetto of
New York has already felt the effect OF
the buoyancy of the Chicago wheat pit.
Six cents loaf is the price nov charg-
ed by some bakeries, while the proprie-
tors of hundreds of others declare that
they cannot continue selling at cents
much longer, with -four of the better
grades costing from 81 to $40 a bar
rel, against $3.50 to $3.50 a few days
ago. They add. moreover, that with
-four permanently up to the rates recent
ly quoted even 6 cents would not give
them any sort of a profit.

Six bodies recovered and probably eight

injured, one fatally. and property loss Of
$4,000 are the results of an early morn
ing fire that destroyed the St. George Ho-

eight other small buildings in San Fran

were so charred that Identification was
impossible The hotel was a three-story
frame building and burned so rap,Iiy
that none Of the 200 occupants had time
to dress. and many escaped by jumping
10 the roof Of an adjoining workship.
Scores clambered down the ladders Of the
firemen and the fire escapes, and four
jumped to safety into the net held by the
fire fighters. OF the regular boarders
thirty are unaecounted for, but it is be-
lieyed that many Of them escaped in the.
confusion and have neglected TO report
