and there is now less complaint of adj
verse weather conditions. At Philadel-
phia also high temperatures adversely af-
feet the distribution Of seasonable goods
in retail lines. but wholesale business has
been quite satisfactory. Some quiet Is
reported in pig iron, but finished material
is in brisk request. Larger working
forces and pay rolls at Pittsburg are re-
fiected In a steady absorption Of all
classes Of commodities.
Lower temperatures now prevailing at
Baltimore are expected to improve the
demand for seasonable merchandise,
which has fallen off Of late because .of
continued warm weather. Retail sales at
Louisville have been curtailed by warm
weather. but manufacturers and whole
salers generally are well engaged. Trade
at New Orleans is not up to expectations
because of unreasonable weather. yet a
healthfui feeling exists and collections
continue good. Satisfactory reports are
received from St. Louis, where wholesale
business continues fairly active.
Manufacturers are very busy, especially
i'm clothing and footwear. Lower tenn
peratures have had a beneficial effect at
Kansas City. Orders for spring delivery
aggregate a good volume, and holiday
trade Is very satisfactory.

KNOWS NOTHING OF HIS PAST
YOUNG MAN UNABLE TO TELL
HIS OWN NAME.
Walks Into Drug Store With His
Feet Bare-Held at Washing
ton Asylum.

Physicians at the Washington Asylum
Hospital are interested In the case OF a
young man who was sent to that institu-
ton last night by the police for treat
ment who is apparently q victim Of
aphasia, being unable to tell his name or
anything which will assist the authorities
in their efforts to identify him.
The young man. we'll dressed. but bare
footed, last evening shortly after
o clock entered Nelson's drug store, at 9th
and d streets, and made an effort to get
some information from the clerk. He
was unable to make known his wants,
and. being barefooted, the clerk sent for
a policeman to take care of him.
When the barefooted man reached the
sixth precinct police station he was un-
able to tell his name. All he was able to
recall was the fact that he realized he
was barefooted. 1t was abou. the time
he reached 9th and d streets that he be-
came aware he was without shoes and
entered the drug store.
Recalls But Little of Past.
In conversation with Capt. Byrnes, he
said he was able to recall that he was
of Irish descent. and that he attended
the Catholic church, but was unable to
recall the name of his pastor. He was
penniless and had removed the names
put in his clothing by the maker.
1t is believed by the police that the pa
tient is about twenty-one years old. He
wore a suit of dark clothes, white vest.
heavy fur overcoat and plush hat. The
police are endeavoring to have him identi-
fled, ana Inspector Boardman has had his
description telephoned to all the pre-
cincts.
Capt. Byrnes thinks the patient may be
a stranger in this city.
