Feb. 14.—Bradstreet’s weekly review of trade today says: Distributive trade and productive industries feel the influence of springlike weather, slightly better collections. steady and even strong prices for staples, some improvement in the railway transportation situation and cheaper and better supply of coal in the East. An additional favorable sea ture not as yet given full consideration is the signing of the new bituminous coal wage scale, by which any possible unsettlement from this source is pre vented. Mild weather makes for increased activity in outdoor work, while active movements In lumber, structural iron and steel, builders' hardware and a myriad of other lines lead to the belief that the present season, notwith standing higher prices of materials, will witness immense building operations. In this connection cognizance must be taken of reports coming from widely separated sections indicating a scarcity of labor. In the South increased railway building, lumber opertxOGs nnu a rxivernrty of industry generally has drawn heavily upon the labor available for the cotton fields, and a less-than-ordinarily-might-have-been-expected increase in acreage Is therefore looked for in this line. A balance to this, however, may be found in the present high price of that staple. In the Northwest labor is scarce in the lumber industry and. generally speaking. it might be said that manual labor the country over finds a ready market. The Death Penalty Fixed.

Each had claims aggregating several thousand dollars, most of which had been made by out-of-town patrons. All persons at work in the office said they had never seen Benedict, but tha’ he was probably at the main offices at South Bend, Ind. At the Mid-Continent Investment company, the stenographer a woman, was taken in custody, but the manager could not be found. The desks in the place were broken open and certificates of stock proprietorship and lists of investors were taken in charge. Just how much money Demorest took away with him when he left his office is not known, out ths place was besieged by dozens of patrons who said they were heavy Investors. There are numerous other “turf Investment” establishments in Chicago, and further raids by the police proba bly will be made.
