TIE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The trade reviews attribute TO the COM
ing of cold weather the betterment in
retail business conditions. They report
also continued activity in iron and steel
and anticipate shortage Of cars, not suf-
ncIent however, TO cripple greatly the
movement OF crops.
Dun's Review says:
Higher rates for money, while they are,
an occasion Of some hesitation in specu-
lative markets, are nevertheless a natural
consequence Of the widening industrial
and mercantile activity and the movement
Of the crops. The cold weather, while in
hictIng further damage TO the already
reduced cotton crop, is on the other hand
ouickening the distribution Of fall mer-
chandise. The reports from the iron and
steel trade maintain their buoyant char
acter. Heavy purchases and higher prices
OF pig iron and larger orders for rolling
stock by the railroads are the most Inn
portant developments OF the wek In this
line. The quickened movement in dry
goods is maintained in spite OF the higher
prices Of the raw material. The trade In
shoes, 50 long held back by the price situ
alton, Is also improving. reports or rail-
road earnings in the first week Of Octo
Der show remarkable gains Of 122 pei
cent. over 1908 and So per cent. over 1907
The record OF five days bank exchanges
are equally favorable. showing gains o
1914 per cent over 1908 and l6 per cent
over 1906 outside New York, while in New
York the record is a gain OF 3i.7 per cent
over 1905 and a decrease OF &c per cent
compared with 1906.

FINANCIAL & COMMERCIAL

Reports Of one OF the leading New York
banks furnishing money to general lines
of business throughout the country, show
that within the last two weeks there
has been a sudden demand for currency
from merchants and business men on a
scale that has not been witnessed Tor
many months. and present indications
point TO its continuance throughout the
next few months. To this is ascribed
the higher money rates more than any
other factor.
G. I. Hudson & Co. said today: "Lon-

TIvERTON CRIME
YET A MYSTERY
Men Under Arrest Deny Any
Part in Awful Murder

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Oct. is.-With
wilfried Thibeaut and Frank Hill, the
two men held here charged with the MUIR
der OF Amelie st. Jean at Tiverton, r. l.,
steadfastly denying any part in such
crime, the mystery Of just who was
slaughtered in the Rhode Island woods
grows deeper hourly. Only the discovery
Of the missing head win ever definitely
disclose the identity OF the victim. To-day
and tomorrow hundreds Of persons, stir
red by an offer Of $500 reward will cover
every foot OF ground in the vicinity where
the dismembered body was found search
ing for the severed head.
All the blood stained clothing found
near the body has been identified by Mrs.
Joseph st. Jean and her husband as that
worn by their daughter Amelia and por-
tions Of It have been recognized by her
aunt. Mrs. Iamoreaux, With whom she
lived in this city, but no Identification has
been made Of the body and Mrs. st. Jean
herself is very doubtful that it is that Of
her child.
As a result OF this situation, the theory
Is being advanced that two girls have
been slaughtered and that the body OF
one. with the clothing OF the other, has
been drowned.
The police have a bundle Of apparently
blood stained clothing which they allegt
was found in a clump Of bushes immedi'
ateiy opposite the home OF Thibeault
None Of this clothing has been recognized
as that Of Amelie ST. Jean and none OF i
SO far has been connected with the pris
