WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Cool Weather Stimulates Business, and Outlook
in General Is Satisfactory

New York, Nov. s-Dun's review No
vember win say:
THE volume Of business Is OF fair de-
mand, and the trade continues to ex-
hibit a Quickened spirit; In most lines II
Is stfIl below producing capacity, gen.
orally consisting OF the supplying q Inn
mediate necessities. The aosen3 OF
large unsold stocks on the shelves and
the presence OF supplies Of credit 50
great that this country Is now able TO
finance the pressing needs OF Europe TO
an extent that has rarely, II ever, been
equaled In the past, are elements of
basic strength. These loans to Europe
make a most imposing total which, IN
connection with the big balance OF trade
in this country's favor, provides a great
reserve to call upon whenever needed.
THE lower prices for cotton and cot
ton goods. with considerable sales of
print cloths for future delivery, contribute
to the quickened movement In the dry
goods trade. There Is a favorable de-
mand for woolen goods and worsteds,
and a largely attended auction sale of
carpets attracted much interest. Hides
and skins are fairly active and frmer,
but there Is less doing in leather. The
tone OF the iron and steel trade is no
tably improved, owing In part to the
large business reported by the leading
producer during october, and to the In
creasing orders by railroads for rails
and cars.ordes that have apparently
been long delayed.
Good weather has stimulated retail
trade, in a number of trades at most of
the leading cities, especially those In the
Northwest The excellent condition IA

winter wheat sections. Financial cordi-

increased. Notwithstanding the disturb

New York, Nov. a-Bradstreet's No
vember viii say:
Retail trade, which now occupies the
center Of the stage as regards distri-
button. has been greatly stimulated by
colder weather over a wide area OF the
country Continued cold weather will,
no doubt, lead to better sales at whole
sale, especially as buying heretofore has
been comparatively light.
Raw wool is f1rmer In respect to It's
undertone, but prices are not actually
higher, and foreign woods, hitherto very
dull, have become little more active.
Sales of cotton goods for future account
are hampered by the belief Of consum-
ers that the price situation is unstable.
Leather is firm, and there is more dis
position to cover distant requirements.
Incidentally export trade in wheat
and -four continues to make an excep-
tionally good showing, being the largest
since November II, 1909. Corn husklng
has made good progress, having had
fine weather, and new crop corn Is be-
ginning to move, though in light volume.
Another helpful development concerns
further recessions in commodity prices
and in a variety Of manufactured goods,
which latter fact, no doubt, affects
profits, though in the long run consump-
ton will be enhanced and production
quickened. In the iron and steel indus
try the filing OF the suit against the
leading interest is expected to produce
a prolonged period OF competition.
Securities reflect an Improvement in
prices, having advanced. on covering Of
enormous short interest and feeling that
the worst has come out as regards gov
ernment steps against so-called trusts,
while the action of the nations Attor-
ney General in practically consenting to
the plan calling for the dissolution of
the American Tobacco Company Is IA
vorably regarded.

TAFT TO GET DATA
FROM Mr.. HILLES
President Preparing His Mes
sage to Congress.

Hot Springs, Va, Nov. 3.-President
Taft is waiting for his secretary, Mr..
HilIes, to come here from Washington,
where the secretary dropped OF last
night on the. way here from New York.
The President wants to get data the
secretary intended to gather to-day from
Cabinet members and heads of depart
ments concerning various administra-
ton affairs upon which the President
will touch in his message to Congress
next month.
The President desires Information with
respect to the steel trust prosecution
and the whole situation respecting the
regarding corporations that have collid-
ed with the Sherman antitrust law. He
is expected to have something in his
message respecting the handling Of the
trusts and the Alaskan situation and
conservation, and other matters upon
which the President desires to be in
formed.
Mr.. Taft will not work upon his mes
sage until his return to the White House,
November II, after his trip through Ken
lucky and Tennessee. He changed his
plans again to-day so as to leave here
Sunday night instead of Monday for Gin
cinnati. He wants to register person
ally in Cincinnati on Monday to prevent
forfeiting his vote. His registration pa
pers, sent by mail from Wyoming, were
too late to permit Of registering that
way, and Mr.. Taft was informed that he
might stin have the vote If he would
personally register.
The President played golf this morning
and spent the rest of the day in the
Homestead Hotel, reading an accumula-
tion of correspondence. He met Mrs.
Taft and their daughter, Miss Helen
Taft, here to-day on his arrival. He
expressed himself as feeling quite rested
after his forty-nine-day jog through the
country. The arrival OF the President at
the hotel occasioned little fuss among
the 400 guests.

which deviate considerably from the will
itself. One Of the codicils provides that
the New York World and the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch shall be placed In the
hands OF q board OF trustees. It is a
remarkable fact that some OF the men
named as trustees had died before Mr..

Joseph Pulitzer, Jr., 1t Is stated, are men,
toned among the trustees.
1t is understood that one Of the trus-
tees named is Frederick N. Judson,

Another name, said to be on the list, IS
that Of Dumont Clark. president Of the

ESeyen Historical MyStereS@
AMY ROBSART.
No. 6.

Historians have in vain tried to fathom
the mystery of the death of the beautiful
Amy RobSart, but without success There
is every indication that the young wife
of Robert Dudley was murdered, but by
whom and in what way no one has been
able to explain. The attentions showered
upon the young earl by the INSCRIPTIONS
Queen Elizabeth naturally turned the head
of the vain nobleman, but in spite of all
the honors' that for a time came to him
he was to be disappointed in the contin-
ued affection of the Queen. although
he eventually rose to great heights at
court. becoming Earl of Leicester. and
through the graciousness of Elizabeth
received the castle of kenilworth
When Robert Dudley married Amy Rob-
sart it was undoubtedly a love match on
the part of the young couple, but en-
couraged by the crafty Earl of War
wick, who wanted to secure for his son
wealthy wife. At first the pair lived
happily. for Robert was but eighteen
years old and Amy one year his senior.
Finally. however, through Elizabeth's
scheming. she found use for Dudley at
court, and he began to neglect his pretty
country-bred wife. He sent her to live in
an unpretentious home, known as Cum
nor Hall, about four miles from Oxford.
Here Amy had. as a caretaker and over
seer. Anthony Forster. who was a sort
OF dependent of Dudley's. and with a
few other servants she spent a lonely,
miserable life. Through her innocent con-
fidence, Amy spent a large part of her
fortune in advancing the interests of her
husband at court So matters stood after
ten years of their married life On Sep
TENDER s. 1850. came the climax to the
mystery, whose exact story no one has
TONORROW-rur ,
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1911-01-27

ever been able to fathom. On this day
there was fair in the neighborhood and
Amy insisted that all her attendants
should be present Why she should have
wanted the house left deserted on that
day has never been made clear But
there must have been some reason, for
Thomas Blount, a kinsman of Amys hus-
band, informed the latter that she feigned
much anger" when any refused to go to
the fair
The servants returned at nightfall, and
found the dead body of their mistress
lying at the foot of short spiral stair
way. The supposition was that she had
fallen downstairs and broken her neck.
Another version was that Forster had
called to her from the door, falsely an
nouncing Dudley's arrival, and had ar
ranged for the stairs to collapse as she
hurried down to meet him. But this
was ridiculous in view Of the fact that
the stairs were so short and 1t would
have required a feat of contlftion for
any one to have fallen down them.
Still another tale says Amy was poi
soned and her body laid at the foot of the
stairway to give the idea Of a. fall. But
against this has been urged the fact that
she would scarcely have sent all her
servants away in order to give some one
a chance to kill her. Just how she met
her death is to this day shrouded in I'M
certainty. Her husband failed to attend
her funeral, which took on the aspect of
completely in some way. and legend saws
that for many years thereafter tho
ghost of the poor wife haunted the house.
There is considerable doubt in his
favor as to whether Dudley was directly
responsible. but there is none that he
was indirectly. for his shameful conduct
toward his wife made him generally alb
