COMMERCIAL
Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says;
Monetary anxieties have faded
and business generally continues
wonderfully large and prosperous.
Some serious problems appear, one
of them in higher prices in many
of the markets, but these are in pro-
cess of adjustment. The copper III
dustry, so large under the depress-
ing influence of a tremendous pro-
duction, will be favorably affected by
plans for bringing the trade under
better control. Reports from the
various trade centers continue OF the
same general nature.
Some lull in the demand for pig
iron is offset by continued heavy pur-
chases of finished material at advanc-
inc prices, and reports are infrequent
of premiums being paid for prompt
delivery. Buying of rolling stock
and other equipment by prominent
railroads is a conspicuous feature,
and some congestion is noted at car
shops because of the difficulty expert
enced in obtaining needed material
from the mills"
Bradstreet's says:
with the arrival of cold weather
retail trade, hitherto inclined 10 lag.
has taken on an appearance of ac-
tivity, and distributive trade reports
are more uniformly encouraging than
for some time past. In some sections,
particularly the Northwest, the tenn
porary effect of heavy SHOWS inter-
rupting transportation to some ex-
tent has been to dull some lines Of
wholesale trade, but the general ef-
feet of the winter visitant has been
helpful. In wholesale lines generally
the nearer approach of winter has
had stimulating effect upon general
| feeling.
/ Holiday trade is good with Job

4 Crazy Mans HumOr.

Some time ago man at Ypsilanti,
Mich, became crazed on the subject
Of hypnotism and was sent on a
Michigan Cen raj train to an asylum.
When the &C .iuctor asked for tick
cts the crazy man began telling of his
hypnotic powers.
"Tll hypnotize you," he said.
Fire away" replied the conduc-
tor.
The man made several passes be-
fore the conductors face.
Now you are hypnotized," he
said.
The conductor looked the part as
best he could.
You're a conductor" the hypno-
tist said.
That's right" replied the victim.
You're a good conductor" went
on the hypnotist.
Right again." said the conductor.
You don't smoke, drink or swear
al passengers. You are honest. You
turn in all tickets and money you
collect from passengers. In fact, you
90 not steal a cent"
That's right" asserted the con-
ductor.
The hypnotist eyed him a moment,
then said.
What an awful fix you'd be in
u ! left you in this condition!"-

Girl Lends Robbers.

Pittsburg.-Bessie Cahill, IA years
old, was arrested and is charged with
being the leader of an organized bano
of freight car robbers. Eight OF the
alleged gang who are said to obey
her orders explicitly were arrested
with her.
Upon being taken to the police sta
tlon. one of the men started to in.
form the police where the loot secur'
ed from the cars had been hidden
but was silenced by curt order from
the girl. who exclaimed
Keep your mouth shut; they can
convict you If you do"
He subsided
After being taken to the cell, the
girl boasted of her power over the
men, declaring they would obey her
orders explicitly. She said she re-
tanned this loyalty by "always play
ing fair with the men and dividing
with them on a strictly business
basis"
1t is estimated that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has lost several thous-
and dollars in goods owing to the
depredations of the gang.
