WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Dun and Bradstreet Report Slight improvement
Visible in Finance and Trade

New York, July 2S-Bradstreets' to-
morrow will say:
Sentiment as to the future seems to
be undergoing a change for the better
even though a number of reports con-
tinue to tell OF quiet business and caution
as to distant buying. Current wholesale
and jobbing lines are quiet. while the
weakness Of raw cotton for future de-
livery tends to unsettle the textile trade.
buying as we'll as manufacturing; and
prospective tariff legislation is also a dis
turbing factor.
Buyers seem inclined to purchase in
small lots. But as 1t is, the South, GER
tain parts of the Southwest, most OF the
Northwest, sections of the East and Gen.
trail West, and a goodly portion of the
far West, tend to view future prospects
in a more favorable light Gradual i'm
provement continues to characterize the
iron and steel trade, in which industry
operations continue to expand.
THE buying movement is not big
one, but appears to be such as to augur
we'll for the future. STILL cuts on sheets
and steel bars tend to impart an unsat-
isfactory aspect to those branches Of the
industry. Money is firm. there is more
demand for crop movements, and coun-
try banks are drawing down balances
at Western points, and incidentally be-
coming borrowers.

SLAYER OF BROKER
QUICKLY INDICTED
Bellboy Will Be Tried in
August for Crime.

New York, July 2S.-The seventeen
year-old bellboy who wanted to get
money to buy gaudy clothes and so
strangled helpless old man who had
been liberal to him, was indicted by the
grand jury to-day for murder in the first
degree and sent to the Tombs to await
trial some time in August.
In less than forty hours after Paul
Geidel slipped out of William H. Jack
sons room on the tenth floor of the Iro-
quois, leaving behind him nothing but
an empty clloroform vial with a half OBJ
liberated label. detectives found him, got
a confession from him. and turned him
over to the district attorney. their case
completed.
His friend and roommate. Patrick j.
McGrane, also a bellboy, who was ar
rested with him on Thursday night, was
not indicted by the grand jury McGrane
on his own statement that he had obliged
Geidel by pawning Mr.. Jacksons watch
in Park Row and that he had heard
Geiders half fearful, half boastfull re-
mark: Il guess 1 have killed a man."

and locked up in the Tombs..

New York, July 2s-Duns review to-
morrow will say:
"A variety of conflicting developments
affect trade conditions, among them the
passage Of the Canadian reciprocity bill,
unsettlement over the outcome Of the
negotiations touching the adjustment of
affairs in Morocco. and the decision by
the Interstate Commerce Commission, in
the Spokane rate case, and similar cases
These influences, however. are mainly of
Importance in their relations to the fu-
ture.
of more immediate interest, the excel
lent progress of the cotton crop toward
maturity holds first place. Weather con-
ditions prevailing throughout the crop
area caused periods of heavy selling of
wheat. corn, and cotton, the selling of
the latter being rather sensational and
for the time unsettling the textile in
dustry, since buyers continue overcau-
tious about making new commitments.
The tone was one OF hesitation and af-
fected various branches of the dry goods
trade.
In footwear. trade still hesitates, be-
cause Of uncertainty regarding styles.
but Eastern factories are better en-
ployed than for some time, and there Is
a steady demand for leather. and the
markets are firm. Railroad earnings for
the first half of July are slightly more
than l per cent larger than a year ago.
The railroads are re-entering the steel
market by degrees, several new orders
for rails and equipment being reported" :"

NEWS OF WALL STREET
Market Idle on Bad Reports from Europe Amer
ican Tobacco Readjustnlent Pro-
crossing Nicely.

It. was evident that stockholders and
bondholders approved the measures that
have been taken and there seems to be
no prospect that the policy of the COM
pany, and of the bankers cooperating
with 1t in. the necessary readtustment or
its affairs. would be interfered with ex-
cept for the possibility. always existing
in matters of this kind, that objections
might be raised by security holders in
terested in the company only as strivers
to secure profit by obstruction. How
ever, the many bankers anxious to secure
a rapid reorganization have taken action
so promptly that there is little chance
of reorganization plans failing on ac-
count of malovelent interposition.
The market had further news that an
investigation of the so-called money
trust In this city would probably be be-
gun by a Congressional committee. but
seemed to be entirely reconciled to this
prospect as in recent weeks 1t has seemed
to be reconciled to other proceedings OF
like nature.
The money market showed no evidence
of the calling of loans and the liquida-
tion of stocks by cotton operators was
not repeated to any important degree.
Probably the bank statement tomorrow
will show a loss OF cash and a contrac-
tion of loans and no material change in
the surplus reserve. Neither OF the
weekly trade reviews suggested anything
more than very moderate Improvement

New York. July 2S.-It was an idle
stock market to-day with transactions
not much more than half as numerous

In New York as much attention was
