Bradstreet's Review Of Trade Con-
ditiOns.

New York. March 12.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Trade and industrial develop
ments this week have been slightly
more favorable. the result being a
better tone in various lines OF trade
and some enlargement of activity in
spring demand from jobbers and
from retailers. Helpful in this res
pect has been the arrival of better
weather conditions, the advance Of
the seasons trade towards an early
Easter. large shipments Of grain to
market attracted by high prices, the
placing of some business in iron and
steel induced by lower prices and
the resumption of building operat-
ions at many cities after the winter
shutdown. Collections show q slight
gain. There are still many unsettled
features and some soft spots in the
trade and industrial situation. Ex-
port trade totals at present are de-
pressing, displaying the effect Of high
prices here and of reduced buying
ability abroad.
Wage reductions in the iron and
steel trade are increasing. Shoe man.
ufacturers are reported catching up
with spring orders and long be-
tween-seasons period is looked for.
Perhaps the best showing made by
any industry is that Of building,
where proposed expenditures are
about double those foreshadowed a
year ago.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending March II
were 254, against 219 last week and
27S in the like week Of 1908"

The Mutual Ice Co.

The annual meeting Of the stock
holders OF the Mutual Ice Co., was
held at the office Of Lee & Noise last
Thursday afternoon with a large ma
jority Of the stockholders present in
person or represented by proxy. The
report Of the officer was read and dis
cussed at length. The financial state
ment showed that the company had
lost money last season and a review
of the condition of the company and
the outlook gave no grounds for be-
lief that the company can be put on
a paying basis. This condition is the
result Of the failure Of the people of
Sumter to patronize the. company as
literally and loyalty as was anticipat-
ed at the inception Of the enterprise,
which was projected more as a quasi
public institution than as a money
making business. For the reason
the factory has given the people of
Sumter cheap ice by keeping down the
price and to this extent it has sue
ceeded in accomplishing what was
sought. AS a public institution that
has benefited every ice user in the
city it has been a success, but for
the lack of loyal support it has not
been a financial success. therefore it
has become necessary to make a
change in the way in which the busi-
ness has been conducted. Mr.
Schwerin. the largest individual
stockholder, who owns nearly one
half Of the stock has proposed to pay
the debts of the corporation and con-
tinue the business, giving his obliga-
tiOn to sell ice at the present scale
of prices for at least two years, pro-
vided the other stockholders, will turn
over their stock to him. The other
alternative Is to sell the factory and
apply the proceeds to the payment Of
the debts. The resolution adopted at
the stockholders meeting puts the
matter squarely up to the stockhold-
ers, and they have twenty days in
which to decide. In either event the
small stockholders stand to lose
what they have invested in the COM
pany. BY the acceptance of Mr..
Schwerin's offer they obtain a guaran-
tee Of cheap ice for two years more.
BY the rejection Of his offer and the
sale Of the plant they lose their stock
and are left without guarantee Of
cheap ice.

Sublett and his wife, Laura A. Sublett.

evidence quoted in the decision, Mr..
Sublett induced his aged mother-in-
law. SO years old. to deed to Mrs.
Sublett for $1,000. payable after the
mother-in-l laws death, without inter-
est. although the circuit jury which

was worth $4,000. The decision is
against Mr.. Subiett, the finding of the
lower court including Mr.. Sublett's re-
moval as executor and trustee.

ty. He managed the estate in ques-
tion and in theswill was authorized

FIRE IN SPARTANBURG.

Hurt by Falling Walls.

Spartanburg. March 12.-Property
valued at $4,000 was destroyed here
tonight by fire in the very centre OF
the bushes section Of the city. when
half of the Cleveland building at east
Main and south Church streets was
completely gutted and other portions
of 1t considerably damaged.
The Harry Price clothing firm lost
stock of goods valued at $4,000
and r. l.. Bowden. the Oldest dry
goods merchant in the city. sustained
a loss estimated at $4,000, while the
loss on the building will probably ex-
ceed $4,000. The building Is owned
by ]. B. and j. F. Cleveland and is
fully insured. Insurance so far re-
ported covers only about half the
value Of the stocks burned.
In the course of the fire five fire.
men and one Wofford college student
were injured by falling walls.
The injured: w. d. Mitchell, assis-
tant chief, arm and hand mashed: c.
l.. Stevens scalp wound; Sam Wyatt.
left arm crushed; James Elder, hea ]
cut; d. L. Warner, left hand burned;
Carolus Moseiy, student from Laur-
ems, rendered unconscious. Mosely
is at the city hospital. where he Is
said to be regaining consciousness.
Besides the damage to firms burned
out there will evidently be consider
able loss to the Office holders in the
building whose property was destroy
ed.
The threatening character, of the
flames caused many firms to move
their stocks from buildings in the
block.
The flames were checked by a
double fire wall between the Cleve-
land building and the Bank of Spar
tanburg and the, bank thus escaped
destruction. A drizzling rain which
fell during the evening doubtless had
much to do with the failure Of the
flames to spread to other portions of
the city.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but the theory is advanced that It was
caused by an explosion of gasoline
In the rooms Of pressing club In the
rear Of Prices store.
Mr.. John B. Cleveland and Mr..
Jesse Cleveland are in Beaufort to-
night and have not been notified OF
the fire. Harry Price. the clothier, is
said to be in Greensboro. N. c., on his
way home from New York.
This is the greatest fire loss Spar
tanburg has sustained in many years.
