disobeyed ordprs In not waiting at
Seneca for No. 13, thereby canning tho

Montpeller. according to schedule, but
No. 4 had orders to wait for No. IS at

placed on the conductor or engineer
of No. 4. Had this train been held
nt Seneca the accident would not have
occurred. Thp wrecked ears took
fire, and the. counttry for miles nround
was lighted up by tho burning cars,
the flames could not be quenched be
caune of lack of proper apparatus.

tlmnte Realty,
The estate of William McKlnley, the
tnte President, as estimated by the
appraisers, whose report has been
filed with Probate Judge Anngst
amounts to about $200,ooo. The ap
praisers made no Inventory of the real
estate, as all of It has been given un
reservedly to Mrs. McKlnley, but their
cstlmnte on the real estate Is tnat It
Is worth from $('.o,000 to $05,000. The
appraisers' schedule shows that the
personnl property of tho estate Is val
ued at $l33,8iio.g. This Includes all
tho stocks, notes, certificates of de
posit, credits, personal effects and
moneys. Under the head of debts,
stock rights and credits the schedule
shows a valuation of $I4,!1.!)0. Of
this amount $4,410.55 Is of Chicago &
Alton Railroad stock and $5,150 stock
In tno Grand Opera House Company
of Canton. Schedule F of tho report,
which deals with bonds, notes, lire as
surance and bank deposits, foots up
$118,413.25. Mr. McKlnley had $7,500
stock in the Ottnmwa (la.) Gas, Heat.
Light & Power Company. He had on
deposit $10,000 In tho Central Sav
ings Hank of Canton, $5,000 In a pass

are owing his pstnte. The credits
Include mime Canton renters, wno, by

ed to him. The credits also Include
several largo sums from Intimate per

TRADE OUTLOOK.
Excess of Demand Over Supply and
Prices at Exceptionally
High Level.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trado says: When consumptive de
mand equals or exceeds supply, and
prices are firmly held at an exception-
ally high level, It Is generally consid
ered that there Is little to be desired
In the business situation. These fac
tors are now In evidence to an unu
sual extent, yet many Industrials are
halting. The princlpnl disturbing
element Is tho lack of cars to handle
the phenomenal shipments that are
urgently needed. In the same con
nection there have appeared numer
ous controversies with switchmen,
freight handlers, river pilots, miners
and other allied workmen, which com-
bine to make the problem of trans
portation most Intricate. Although
the movement of grain to Interior cit
ies Is at the rate of 3,000,000 bushels
dally the westward traffic of merchan
dise Is so unprecedented as to neces
sitate the return of empty cars. Any
loss of general trade duo to the holiday,
was more than made up by the phe
nomenal preparations of the preced
ing days and the dealings In specu
lations. A general advance in pig
iron indicates that record breaking
activity at furnaces falls to produce
accumulation of supplies. Steel mills
are seeking material urgently and
Bessemer pig for prompt delivery at
Pittsburg is not available below
$10.30. I.argo sales of forge and
foundry iron are reported at further
advances and Southern Iron In tho
Chicago market is also higher. Buy
ing of railway supplies Is tho most
urgent future; rails, cars, engines,
structural material for bridges and
shop equipments all being wanted
much earlier than they can be deliv
ered. In general lines the movement
Is scarcely less active, and at present
the business In 190U appenrs limited
by facilities, but It Is probable that
producing capacity will be greatly en
larged. The feature among the)
minor metals was the sharp advanca
In tin to much the lrlhest point of
the year because of delayed arrivals.
In marked contrast to the rise lu tin
was a sharp decllno In silver to the
lowest price since early In 1SDS.
Leather sells freely at full figures
and dry hides are another fraction
higher, but slaughter hide at Chica
go are easy. Conditions are even
more favorable at woolen mills, one
concern refusing a large order for de
livery In February. Ht&vy-vYclght '
goods are very active with retailor
and Jobbers.
