BRADSTREET'S
WEEKLY REPORT

NEW YORK, June 19.-Bradstreet's
says today:
The tendency is toward improve
ment the general crop situation, man
ufacturing industry, and bookings for
fall, showing further gains, but irreg-
ularities of weather still retard, and
thereby effects recorder business with
iobbers.
In industrial lines the tendency is
toward further expansion of opera
lions. Numerous early cuts in wages
have been restored, and employment is
more fully diffuesd. The building
trades probably lead in volume of &C
tivity, but there are still complaints
that lumber is not selling as freely as
expected. The iron and steel indus
try maintains previous activity, though
operations are still below normal. Rail
roads are buying more freely.
Good reports come from the wooden
and worsted manufacturing lines and
Southern cotton consumption for the
season is much larger than year ago.
Leather trades, including boots and
shoes, not a continuance of activity.
The Western coal trade is looking up.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending July II
were 213 against 1877 last week and
254 in the week of 1908. Business
failures for the week in Canada 2S,

Jackson, February 16.-The total
amount of interest which the State of
Mississippi will receive from the seY-

OF this amount $947.94 has already

is yet perhaps 500 or $3.50 to be paid
in.
During most of the past year there
has been very little money in the de-
repositories or in the treasury proper,
for that matter, and this interest ac-
cumulated during only a few months
when there was a fair-sized roll on
hand. During the next year, since no
money is to be handled in the treas

repositories on that account, and
every effort will be made by those
officials who have any control over

John d. Sharp for the killing of United
States Senator Edward w. Carmack
was called this morning.
Just before the attorney general
= arose to begin his statement there
came a stir from behind the bar. The
crowd was pushed aside and slen-
dor figure in a black dress and veil
was brought in leaning heavily on the
arms of several ladies'. 1t was the
widow of the slain senator.
Directly across the room within.
twenty feet of her sat the men charg-
ed with the murder of her husband.
The three defendants sat unemotion-
al and cool, but not so with Colonel
Cooper's daughters. Mrs. Wilson's
eyes filled with tears and suppressed
sobs could be heard almost across
the court room. Mrs. Burch threw
her arms around Robin Cooper, her
favorite brother, and wept pitiously.
1t was evident to all that Mrs. Car
mack was suffering the greatest agony
and that the trying ordeal through
which she was passing was one that
she would much preferred to have
avoided If the law had not required
her presence. Her hand rested upon
the shoulders of the little ten-year-old
son of the murdered man, who con-
tinually looked up at his mother with
eyes filled with tears.
