Bradstreet's to morrow Trill say; Desplte some irregularity growing- out OC, the unseasonable "weather conditions, laeavy price cbanges-in leading staples or Increased conservatism In some traders as Che election approaches, the general busi afcas situation as a -whole Is encouraging, end new elements or manifestations or fitrength appear from time to time. Per laaps the roost notable feature of the week Sa, found in the Industiai situation, which fcds been distinctly Improved by the ap parently official and final action taken toward ending the anthracite coal strike. In view of the fact that most miners (have "obtained Increased wages, the effect on "business In the producing regions can fcardly be otherwise than beneficial, while the trade at large must reap benefits Srbm the return to normal conditions. Other lines of trade which showed Im provement are those of shoes, leather and fcindred products at the East, which are reaping the benefit of better distribution to the country at large, and rather more Chan an average business has been handled In wool at the East, with hold ers more inclined to demand full prices Cor their products. The continued weak ness of. cotton Is an element of uncer tainty In the goods trade, but the firm ness of these products, in the face of the 1& cent decline in price, is a tribute to She strength of the market. The situation in cereals shows little change. A feature of the movement of product to market at the present time not heretofore noted this year, is the Browing scarcity of cars reported west of the Mississippi. Sugar Is lower than an ticipated, and coffee is off on continued large Teceipts. The strength of demand for finished products of iron and s'teel, noted for some time past, finds reflection In an improved inquiry for the cruder forms at leading Iron centers this week. Steel billets are reported $2 higher at Ch'lcago, while a Blmilar advance is noted at Pittsburg, and efforts to raise the level of bessemer steel Wllets are being debated. The claim that Etocks are being readily rcducedis borne out by reports of .several 1000-ton lots be ing moved at Pittsburg and further TVest, Bad intimations that a still larger busi ness has been arranged for on a condi tional basis, dependent upon election re cults. While Southern pig is unchanged at the South, a sharp cut In the same is noted at Western markets. The lower ing of coal prices, expected, as a result of the ending of the strike. Is expected to help the export trade in coal, which is, howeyer, confronted with high freight rates. In spite of this it Is claimed that 3,200,000 tons of bituminous coal have been eold for export to Mediterranean ports. Wheat (Including flour) shipments ror .!the week aggregate -1923,978 nushels, Ggalnst 3.79G.643 last week, 4.41G.495 in the corresponding week of 1899, and 5,660,991 In 189S.

'Easiness Men Are Talcing 3fo Unnec essary Chances. 2CKRL ;EOR:k; .Oct. 2S. R.,G.,Dun & iCo.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow Twill say: The .elections -mean a great deal to all business Interests and although confi dence In the future is seen on every Jiand, It Is but natural that men do not care to take unnecessary chances and 2ierfore delay new engagements as far as possible until after the ballots are counted. But contracts for steel rails for the .season thus far are within 50,000 tons pf last year's heavy bookings, and the confidence in an ultimate marked Im provement is so strong that all raw ma terials are firm and without any specula tive activity to stimulate them. The agitation for an advance In billets, though a small one, is an indication of what the Iron and steel markets expect Jn the next six months, and jn the great Industries sellers of material could easi ly make heavy contracts If they cared to attach political provisions to their agree ments. However unreasonable these fea tures may be, it is likely to be better for business In the long run that conserva tive Ideas for the present are entertained. The weather over a great part of the country has been favorable for agricultur al operations, which are progressing well, end in the East the unseasonable tem peratures have retarded general trade comparatively little, as. there has been no great stimulus yet this season. Conditions in the Iron and steel mar bet have steadily improved; orders grad ually swell in volume and buyers make Jess effort to secure concessions. In most cases quotations the not altered, but there is an advance, to $20 in Philadelphia lor billets owing to the better business In rails. PJg Iron moves freely, especial ly at Chicago, where manufacturers have contracted heavily for finished stuff In excess of raw material on hand. Cast Iron pipe is In urgent demand, and new plans ior shipbuilding will take plates. Bridge builders are buying structural forms heavily. Makers of rails and other prod ucts of iron have been accused of quoting better, terms to foreign than to. domestic buyers. If this is done-, it would seem to be the manufacturers' affair rather than the newspapers'. Miner metals are quiet, except for further weakness in tin. Silver has reached the highest price in four years. "Wheat also continued its downward course owing to the good news here and abroad, but an encouraging feature was the accelerated foreign buying as quota tions declined. Atlantic exports for the week were 2,935,02$ bushels, against 2,253,-C25-a year ago. and Pacific shipments 79.043 bushels, against 658,553 last year. Sales of wool at the three chief East ern markets -continue to increase, ex ceeding 5,XD,000 pounds last week. Prices are not altered, and bids slightly be low the market are refused. Cotton goods move rather freely as the price comes nearer parity with raw materials but wide sheetings are dull at the advance to 22c Failures for the week were 205 in the United States, against 190 last year, and 8 in Canada, against 72 last year. "WALL .STREET REVIEW. A Rising: Market One to the Aggres sion of the Bull. NEW YORK, Oct. 26. Bradstreefs financial review tomorrow will say: At the end of last week It was apparent come large financial and speculative in terests were taking an aggressive posi tion on the bull side of the account. This week has witnessed the development un der such auspices of a rising market. Transactions exceeded any attained in many weeks and although manipulation and speculative activity contributed largelyTo the interest in the proceedings, there have been more evidences of out ride interest than for a long time. Buy ing of stocks by commission houses has In fact recommenced on a scale that con trasts sharply with the lack of any such support to prices ior several months past. London also has taken a part in the demonstration, and though the foreign participation was mixed in character Europe was a considerable buyer of stocks on balance. Thi mBrPAP iiu not mean that bullish jeculfttioa in I Americans has "broken out In London. On the contrary, It seems to result from the fact that heavy operators there con cluded that, as & consequence of election uncertainties in this country, our market would break, and sold, many calls on "Yankee rails," beside selling them ehort to a largo um total. This foreign bear Interest was subsequently alarmed and started to cover extensively, thereby-helping the advance along. Local bear trad ers nave likewise been obliged to cover in the stoclcs of which they were largely short, but It was also noticeable that the smaller professional was not only prompt to take -on the successive advances In dif ferent stocks, but also Eeemed inclined to put out .fresh short galea In fact the street as a whole jseemed to be Impressed with an idea that before election day there might be a reaction in prices.

The plaintiff claims that she met Sena tor Sullivan about October 7, 1S95, In his law office at Oxford, he being employed to defend Ker brothec-in-law.

The stand of timber In'the East may be In the neighborhood of 750,000,000,000 feet board measure. With that estimate in tho West, 630,000,000,000, the total stand In. the country would appear to be, approxi mately, 1,380,000,000,000 feet board measure. In 1S90 the cut was about 25,000,000,000 feev, and since then the annual cut has some what increased. Thepresent stand would, therefore, supply thejpresent rate of con sumption for about 50 years. As a- ran dom statement, then, it may be-said that we have timber In stook sufficient to last the present demands of our Industries for nearly two generations. Some, species, however, which are applicable to certain purposes, such as the Southern pine, tne redwood and the red fir, will last longer than others, and some species, like tho black walnut and the white pine, are al ready nearly exhausted.

J3y the -merest accident a clerk saw him make' certain erasures In the clearing-house sheet and while he thought this unusual, said nothing about It to anybody until shortly after 4 o'clock. By that time Alvord had gone, but it was expected that he would re turn as he had some work to finish. When Alvord failed to return, tho clerk who had seen him make the erasures, made a casual remark to Assistant Cashier Backus. The latter, without suspecting tliat anything was, wrong, looked over Alvord's balance and soon found several discrepancies. He was on the point of leaving matters for Alvord's adjustment when he decided to make a further ex amination and soon saw that many items hadbeen deliberately falsified. By this time the suspicions of the assistant cash ier had become very much aroused. All the high officials of tho bank had gone for -the day, but meeting a number of clerks, Mr. Backus went hurriedly over the note teller's bopks and, in a few mo ments had overwhelming proof of Al vord's guilt Mr. Hme did not say how Alvord learned that he -was- under suspicion, but he confirmed the report that the note tel ler returned to the bank .early Thursday evening, and seeing others at work on his books, realized that he had been dis covered. Alvord had not been under sur veillance up to that time, although it has been said that he was suspected as early as -the 16th Inst The bank officials are convinced 'that he did not go to his home the night, of the 18th and they are also convinced that he has -not been there since the morning of that date. Al vord's crime came to light exactly three days after the National Bank Examiners completed their examination. While tho First National Bank officers admit that Alvord's wrong-doing is In no degree the result of any laxity on the part of the examiners, yt they seem somewhat an, noyed at what they regarded as mis representations on the part of those at tached to the office of the Controller of the Currency at Washington. A reward of $5000 will be offered by the First National Bank for the arrest and detention of Alvord. This conclusion was arrived at and the announcement made today after ,a "long vconference of the bank officials with Captain McCluskey, of the detective bureau. The Evening Telegram today prints the statement that Alvord was taken to and is 'still in a sanitarium not far from' Mount Vernon. The assertiohMs made that when the defaulter knew he had been detected in his stealing, he completely collapsed. TRD3D TO SAVE HIS BROTHER. Dying Man Insisted to the Last He Wns Innocent.
