JHW YORK, Oct. 26. 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.

JEM5CTIOX A FACTOR.
'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.

Football Today.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26. The fresh
men football teams of the Stanford and
the University "of California will contest
tomorrow afternoon on the gridiron. This
is the first intercollegiate game of the
season, and both colleges will be out in
force with bands and rooters. Football
experts believe chances favor California,
which has a heavy team, made up of

Uncle Sam's Timber Supply Limited.
The Forum.
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.

DISGDVERY OF HIS CRIME
HOW ALVORD'S DISHONESTY CAME
TO SIGHT. .
A Cleric Accidentally Saw Him
Changing the Clearing-House
t Sheet Reward Offered.
NEW YORK, Oct 26. In order to
make clear certain alleged misstatements,
Vice-President Hine, of the First National
Bank, today explained in deall some of
the Incidents leading up to the discovery
of Alvord's crime. In the first place, Mr.
Hine says Alvord -had. worked steadily
and without suspicion untll the afternoon
of the 18th Inst. 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. N
CHICAGO, Oct 26. His skull crushed,
his tongue paralyzed and his life ebbing
away as the result of a blow on the head,
Frank Marshall Insisted to the last that
he had fallen on the sidewalk and that
his brother John was not responsible for
his death. He died at St. Elizabeth Hos
pital, conscious to the last For hours.
Detective Schulz labored to get an ac
count of the fight. He placed paper and
pencil in the dying man's hands and
asked him to describe the cause of his
wounds. But tho Injured man pushed
them away and would only say that he
had fallen. He did not know that his
brother had made a confession.
John Marshall now accused of murder,
is a saloon-keeper. His brother Frank
.came Into the saloon, and complained that
the bartender was wiping the counter
with an unclean towel. John, the pro
prietor, interfered and told Frank to
mind his own. business. Then the broth
ers fought. George Joyce and two oth-,
ers separated them. Joyce and , his
friends then left, but returning soon aft
erward they found Frank Marshall lying
upon the floor with a bad wound in his
head. They took him to the hospital. The
police have a statement from the bar
tender, which charges John Marshall
with having struck Frank over the head
with a mopstlck. The Coroner's jury said
that it was from this wound he died.
Later John Marshall! made a full confes
sion, but claimed 'that Frank had struck
the first blow.

to swarthlness, and his hair and mous
tache are thick and black. At the jail
it was said the prisoner seemed to take
his predicament philosophically and that
he even joked at times. He stated to De
tectives Kyd and Stockley that he was
willing to return for trial and that he
would fight his case to the bitter end.
Ho denies having- embezzled the money
and says his defense will be that he gave
his clients mortgages and that they were
cognizant as to the way he made the In
vestments. As to Mrs. Arnold, he says
she was willing to accompany him to
England, but he wished her to remain in
San Francisco "until the dust settled."
When Arnold is taken aboard the Um
bria by the two Scotland Yard men he
will be given quarters In the second.cabln.
Once at sea he will be given the freedom
of the ship.
