THE CURRENT WEEK Experts Review the Situation in the Leading Lines of Industry NEW YORK October 30 Brsdstreets tomorrow will say Copier weather has stimulated retail trade quite generally through nt tbe conn try and this is reflected In an iroved reorder demand for seasonable good specially heavy dry goods clothing and es Tbe movement of the crops bss been Northwest West and Sosth and Interior collections have improved Eastern Jobbers In turn note a more cheerful tone to trade which has hitherto lagged behind the corresponding season a year ago Buying however is classed as conservative and smaller lots are taken than formerly Tbe labor situation Is rather unsettled Radical leaders are Inclined to Imperil present advantagea In the building trades at some large centers but germs of better future conditions sre found In the utterances of some of the more conservative leaders who foresee trouble for the unions If they attempt to precipitate further demands The great Industries show few changes for the week Iron and Steel are weak depreased or steady accordingly as tbe cruder or more finished forms are considered The shutdown of the Amalgamated Copper mines has had a strengthening effect on Copper Wheat Including Flour exr ports for the week ending October 29th aggregate 4007873 bushels against 4235080 last week 5097620 this week last year 6672899 In 1901 and 3612421 in 1900

53767158 In 1900 Special telegrams from correspondents of the International Mercantile Agency throughout tbe United States sad Canads regarding tbe etale of trade are summarised as follows Th between seasons period Is beginning to show Its Influence on the lnoTenient of general Merchandise Relatively the most fsvorable reports come from Chicago Pittsburg and New York Baltimore reports the outlook from the South for a good trade owing to the high price for Cotton There has been a gain at Pittsburg where more mills are expected to start up Country orders are a fair average for the season at Chicago but there Is less disposition to branch out and a hesitancy In some linos Dry Goods and Clothing are moving more slowly at St Louis At Boston the disposition Is toward conservatism At Philadelphia the volume of trade Is about equal to that of a year ago but affected by labor conditions Is beginning to slacken St Paul and Minneapolis advise that Interior merchants are restricting purchases somewhat Tbe Minneapolis Flour output Is becoming normal again Traffic on Eastern railroads has declined this week car shortage has been less noticeable interior jobbers are generally buying less than I last year ana uouon exports are increasing encouragingly but mercantile collections have fallen away In regions tributary to Philadelphia and St Paul Shipments of funds west on crop and bank accounts hare made loans at New York firmer and tend to hold down security prices Good weather has prevailed throughout the Grata regions but winter Wheat wblch Is all sown could stand some rain The outlook Is for a good demand for Wheat for export Estimates of tbe Cotton crop tend higher than recently A feature in industrial lines Is the sale of 10000 tons of Southern Pig Iron for export to Manchester at 10 or less ton at the furnace and a Pittsburg sale of Steel Ralls for delivery in Cores Many large Industrial concerns report an average decline in orders of 25 per cent from this time laat year new orders come in hesitatingly some 55000 employes hsve been laid off or have struck this week Closed Iron mines in Northern Michigan have reacted upon Jobbers In tbe Northwest Staple winter goods are in ateady demand at Montreal and prices sre firm Cottons are practically strong and jobbers complain that there is difficulty in getting orders filled by manufacturers Demand for Woolens is less active Collections are fair snd there sre some renewals There has been a less active dlstri button of seasonable goods from Toronto owing to tbe mild weather but the more rapid movement of crops from the Northwest Is stimulating and an improvement is expected Elevator receipts indicate that there Is less Wheat than has been counted on Canadian banks report that the demand for fnuds from farmers for handling the crops Is less than anticipated Money is therefore easier than expected and the indications are that rates will be lower The sltustion at Sault Ste Marie la more hopeful Some of the factories have started up and othera are expected to Dun A Gos weekly Review of Trsde to morrow will say Industrial activity has increased somewhat many plants resuming and others preparing to reopen on Monday Several pending labor controversies have reached amicable adjustment adding to the aggregate of wage earners employed On tbe other band strikes are ordered and some mills will be closed by lack of new business while the fight for control of Copper properties has thrown thousands out of work While there Is evidence of a setback in the Steel Industry some hesitation in textiles in the East the general tenor of these reports Is encouraging for a continuanceof prosperity particularly from tbe section were agriculture Is the chief occupation Collections are causing some uneasiness and financial conditions are unsettled Merchandise is freely distributed esrnings for October thus far surpass last years by 59 per cent snd those of 901 by 134 per cent Purchases of Iron snd Steel products are still restricted to Immediate requirements as rule although the decline in quotations appears checked Failures this week were 253 In tbe United States against 233 ast year

Known That De partmentCould Buy Supplies Only After Advertising for Bids Except in Emergency HE sensational incidents of the hearing of the case of James Erwin before Commissioner Heacock yesterday were the testimony of Erwin that letters received by him from Washington up to the time that Inspector Wayland the agent of the prosecution left there to come to this hearing were tampered with before going through the mails and the grilling of the Government officials by Attorney Samuel Knight for the methods they have employed in seeking to obtain evidence against the accused man Erwin testified that he had recently received five letters from Washington Three of them were mailed before Inspector Wayland left Washington and each of them bore marks of having been opened The San Francisco postmark oi the back of at least one ofthe letters showed that it must have been opened before reaching San Francisco that Is at Washington Erwin said that he had been warned that his friends at Washington were afraid to write him because his mail was being opened before being forwarded from the office there The two mailed after Wayland left Washington had not been tampered with Erwin hadyreceived hundreds of letters from other places but only those from Washington hau been opened District Attorney Woodworth objected to the line of questioning and Attorney Knight exclaimed I want to show the animus with which this case has been conducted from Washington I want to show that only the letters mailed at Washington were tampered with Erwin said that the mutilated letters had been submitted to Theodore Kytka the handwrtting expert Well what has that got to do with this charge of conspiracy The boot on the other foot now retorted Knight It is the Government which is guilty of a foul conspiracy and of criminal practices in trying to convict this man SAYS WAVLAND CONDUCTED CASE In his argument before the matter was finally submitted to the Commissioner Knight said Erwlns friends Including perhaps yourself were ignorant of what could have Induced the grandJury to indict this defendant All supposed that the Indictment was based on testimony of Richardson who went with Erwin to Washington and who knows him well the man who engineered the sale of the devices to the Government and con ducted the negotiations But that was not correct It was not Richardson but it was Wayland who conducted the case and who whispered to the grand Jurors to Indict Erwin because he was a friend of Machen To drag down Erwin would redound all the more to his greatneM 7 would elevate Wayland i ConfucIus Lycurgus Way land to a niche In the Temple of Fame beside thatof Sherlock Holmes the champion sleuth If Inspector Erwin bad been charged with such a case against Wayland and had gone before a grand jury with such evidence and had operated in juch a manner Erwin would havebeentwritten down as tbe most despicable df men Alpine conclusion ot tne arguments commissioner rieacocK saia tnat rje would get through the evidence as quickly aa possible but that his calen dares crowded aa never before and thaV he could not ay Just when be will be ableto render his decision 5L LagercTantz VY Palmer that they have found the time device serviceable in the residence as well as In the business districts STOCK GIVEN AS A REWARD James Erwin was recalled to the stand He 5aid that the report made to the directors of the company after he and Richardson returned from Washington was presented to him by Richardson and that he at first declined to sign it because he had no knowledge of the matters to which Richardson had attended without his assistance He finally signed the report on Richardsons saying that the directors would like a report from both of them Referring to the letter written to Machen on February 19 100 in which Machen is told that if he will expedite matters it will be appreciated Erwin said that to the best of his recollection Richardson wrote the letter and he merely signed it Erwin denied that he had shown any reserve when questioned by Inspectors Wayland and Birdseye and said that he gave them all the facts he had and then wrote out his statement for them He said he withheld nothing When asked by Woodworth why he did not tell the inspectors that he suspected stock was being used at Washington a year or two years ago he replied that the inspectors did not ask him what he suspected but only what he knew and that he told them he did not know the bribery to be a fact until Sunday July 20 1903 when Richardson told him that stock had been given to Machen and Beavers Erwin said that he had understood that the stock given him by the company had no relation to his vieit to Washington and wa9 simply to reward him for work done in perfecting the invention He denied having known that the law provided that the Postofflce Department could buy supplies only after advertising for bids except in emergency cases Woodworth sought to show that a letter written by Erwin to an official Hedges at Washington asking that the devices be affixed to letter boxes In Sacramento In compliance with the request of Postmaster Coleman was written after Erwin had begun to suspect something and that the letter was an evidence of Erwins complicity DECLARES THERE WAS FRAlD The District Attorney in his argument called attention to the broad purview of the charge of fraud and said that circumstantial evidence must be accepted because conspiracies are hatched in the dark The Government had been defrauded in that the devices sold to it for 4 and over were not worth that much because the devices had been purchased without advertising for bide because the Postal Device and Improvement Company had agreed to pay the freight and the cost of attaching the device to boxes and had not done so Attorney Knight said that an effort to connect hl client In any way with tbe Ecandal had entirely failed that Richardson who had confessed that it was he who planned and carried out the bribery had declared on the witness stand that Erwin had no knowledge of it and no participation in it Knight saiat that all the evidence held at Washington had been put In here eo that the Commissioner could Judge fully as to Erwlns guilt or Innocence He asked hla clients exoneration and discharge The decision may come within a week Officials and othera are agreed that Richardson has been promised immunity In consideration of his full rconfession which clinches the In dictments against Machen and Beavers It is thought that no steps will be taken tbpunish hlm but it la not believed that he will long retain his position In the Postofflce where he la now known aa general superintendent though upon the roster as cashier and drawing a salary of the same

could not remain and see his faithful Indians catter no one knew whltheri he could not witness the mliery thatigaust come when they were bereft of their possessions to he left heavy hearted arid soul weary This not until he had exhausted himself In a vain effort to change the inT e4table There is a record of thev parting scene at the MliEion del Rey Padre Peyrt bade a tearful farewell to his faithful neophytes and his associates beseeching them to follow 4he way of the cross and keep close to thtir God He Journeyed south into Mexico and later took passage for Spain There was no rest for bim there and eo he sought Rome where he fell ill and died a broken heartedi man far from the scenes that made life dear to him For two years there was no radical change because the Government was not ready to put into execution the plapa which had driven Padre Peyrl forth an exile The official representative of the Government of Mexico did not come to San Luis Rey until 1833 and then he converted the mission into a pueblo This change brought no Muck or profit to the Government Slowly but surely ruin came Finally deserted the most magnificent structure which had been reared In the new country to the glory of God came Into its years of desolation It was so well constructed that time has been handicapped in obliterating the noble work of the padres Those who would restore it haye been doing something toward that end and the day 1 not far distant when the San Luis Rey Mission will be protected against inevitable destruction When that good fortune comes true the picture of the handsome ruin that will be presented to Chronicle patrons next Sunday morning will be of the greatest Interest It costs nothing to subscribers of the Chronicle BIRTHS WILLIAMS In this eitv Otobr 25 the wife ot
