WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Principal Industries Still Shop Abatement of Ac.
tipity Because of Flood Damage and Tariff
Tinkering, But No Fundamental Change
Is Epident-Crop Outlook Excellent

New York, April 1S-R G. Dun's to
morrow will say:
while the principal industries AMI
trades are still experiencing some' abate-
ment Of activity as result of the recent
floods in the West and the conservatism
produced by the pending tariff readjust-
ment, there is apparently no fundamental
or permanent change in the situation.
1.-THE reduction i'm the Bank of Eng
land rate of discount to AZ per cent, the
financial Improvement i'm German ana
the easier tendency of money ia our owa
markets, are among the most favgrabie
developments of the week. Winter whea,
conditions are all that could be desired,
foreshadowing very large yield, anu
cotton planting is progressing favorabIy.
These factors-the improved monetary
situation and the encouraging crop out
look-account for the feeling of conf
dence, which generally prevails in mer :
camille circles, in spite of the reduction
in current consumptive demands.
Railroad gross earnings declined J.:
per cent, in the first week of April, dus
mainly to the reduced traffic on tn.
Southern and other roads affected by the
floods.
THE steel trade has not yet fully re-
covered from the effects of the flood dis
aster. and the declining price tendency in
pig iron is more pronounced

The Safest Investments

their own country help to bring about
the condition of confidence and trust;
but the confidence was not wholly blind
nor the trust wholly based upon senti
mental considerations. New England
bankers, critics and investment advisors.
analyze these investments carefully and
until very recent years were pretty well
agreed upon the fact that there was
plenty of intrinsic value in. the securities
to Justify the widespread investment in
them.
What the upshot of it will be nobody
can say. 1t seems now a foregone con-
clusion that many of the dividends will
be reduced and some of them eliminated.
This condition will undoubtedly last for
some time. 1t can hardly end until
there has been established in this coun-
try new basis for railroad earnings.
Probably the only possible new basis
is a sweeping reduction in the cost of
operation; for il has been made clear
throughout the country at large that
there can be little or no sweeping adj
vance in the rates charged for transpor-
tation. Such an adjustment is q matter
of time and patience. Probably no class
of people in the country will bear the
burden of the adjustment in a larger
share than the investors in the New
England States
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1913-04-19

New York, April 1S-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Better weather, excellent winter
wheat crop reports, renewed activity by
farmers, resumption of operations in the
flooded districts of the Central West, and
a more reassuring outlook in the Lower
Mississippi Valley, are the leading ia
vorable features of the week. Over
against this must be set the increased
prominence of tariff discussion, particu-
larly as regards the textile Industries in
the Eastern States and the continuance
of degree of stringency in money, de-
spite more evidences of easing, both at
home and abroad. Jobbers of furnish
ings, dry goods, harness, shoes, hard
ware, and builders materials report
large orders for future delivery. More
over. it Is the consensus that buying
speaking generally, is equal to or bet
ter than it was at this time last year.
In the iron and steel lines specifications
continue heavy, but pig iron is weaker
and while some smelters have bought
acting on the theory that prices are
attractive-supplies in the East, the gen.
eral disposition is to hold off for better
bargains. There is large inquiry for
cast-iron pipe for export, and it is
thought that Canada will figure as
heavy buyer. Copper is firmer.
Business failures for the week ended
April II were 80 which compares with 213
last week and $50 a year ago."

OUTLAW WHO KILLED 6 DEAD.
Posse Overtakes John Tornow and
Deputy sheriff shoots Him.

Shelton, Wash. April 1s.-John Tornow.
the outlaw who killed his twin nephews
and four deputy sheriffs who attempted
to capture him. was shot to death by
Deputy Sheriff Quimby. Tornow had de-
fed the authorities for nearly a year.
He was fatally wounded in a battle in
which Charles Lathrop and Louis Blair
were killed. Deputy Quimby fired seven
shots at the outlaw, and later found
him dying.
The body of the outlaw resembled that
of wild beast more than a human.
according to members of the posse.
In the year that he had been hiding
in the wild region his clothing had been
supplanted by a gunny sack. His face
was covered> by shaggy black beard
and his hair was long and unkempt.
There were no provisions in his cabin.
and it was believed he had lived for
several months on frogs captured in a
nearby pond, and squirrels. which he
caught in a trap he had built. He had
saved his ammunition to shoot at the
posse which was pursuing him. He had
only one cartridge left when he was
killed.
