TRADE TENDENCIES
IN GENERAL ONWARD
Distributive Trade Holds
Center of Stage
MONEY LITTLE EASIER
Sustained Progress Along Mercantile
Lines Keynote of Advices Re-
ceived From Leading Mer-
camille Centers

New York. September 26.-Bsadstreet's
will say tomorrow:
Distributive trade has held the center
of the stage this week and in this line
dry goods clothing and wearing apparel
generally have been most active. both at
wholesale and retail Trade tendencies
in general, however are onward, though
there are enough expression to prevent
uniformity, business affairs show further
improvement
This manifestation may very properly
be correlated to the fact that stocks
everywhere are light. that rains lin the
southwest have superinduced better
feeling there. that colder weather over a
wide area in the forecast of the week
furnished a reminder that heavy goods
were needed, besides affording stimulus
to retail trade. and that the crop move
nent has enlarged with farm produce
prices especially remunerative, this lat
ter feature reflected in somewhat i'm
proved conditions.
Most reports indicate that trade is bet
ter than it was at this time last year
Moreover, money appears to be little
easier.

Sustained progress along conservative
lines is the key note of advices from the
leading mercantile centers Improvement

and branches of trade reflect better con-
ditions than others. In the aggregate,
however. the volume of current transae-

fancy is still shown in entering upon fu-
ture commitments. the feeling of caution
Is less manifest than heretofore.

STATEMENT MADE BY

Superintendent j. W. Evans of the Ala
bama Great Southern railroad. said
Il wish to thank the police officers
and deputy sherffs for their prompt re-
sponse to our calls for aid. In all my
experience as a railroad man and in mat
ters of this kind. I can truthfully say
that the special train was the quickest
made up that / have ever seen. We had
bloodhounds, efficient officers and were
on our way in less than two hours. 1t
was remarkable.
1.-THE only regretable feature of the
entire affair was the shooting of Mr.
Bonner. / had never met Mr.. Bonner
until this morning when l became ac-
quainted with him at Johnson's water
tank. He appeared such good-hearted,
jovial fellow that am completely shaken
up by his sudden taking off
"As to the loss suffered by the Ex-
press company l cannot state what it is
as I don't know, but it will be a consid-
erable loss. I also understood that the
mail car was thoroughly ransacked."

BODEK Err BUSY IN
SPITE OF LOSS OF SLEEP

Chief of Police George I'll. Bodeker, al
though having been up continuously for
over 4S hours, was still up and doing last
night. His private office was the scene of
many consultations and everywhere his
agents were being sent out to spread a
dragnet that would eventually bring in
the bandits.
II would enjoy the work. said Chief
Bodeker, 'if it were not for the death Of
Jim Bonner L have known Bonner for
several years and his end has greatly af-
fected me. 1t is horrible to think about.
by, 1t could have been any of us-we
were all standing close to him. 1t brings
home to all of us the danger of the pro-
miscuous handling of fire arms.
II have just heard that five men have
been arrested on suspicion at Eutaw,
Ala. i can't say that / believe that they
are the right men, as it is my opinion
that the bandits took to the woods and
will stay in the depths of the woods for
few days at least. If they are clever
enough to blow up a sale they are clever
enough to keep away from the cities for
while. But it is my firm conviction that
they will be caught very quickly"
