Andrew McBride Shot at Con ductor McCuuley, Seriously Wounding a Bystander. FRED G0DDEJ0HANN, VICTIM. Lee Avenue Car. Which Had Been Blocked, Struck Wagon as It Turned Driver Became Furi ous and Shot Recklessly. Andrew McBride of No. 1401 North Six teenth street shot and probably fatully wounded Frederick Goddcjahann of No. 1913 North Fifteenth street, while trying to shoot William McCauley. the conductor of a Union lino car, which had bumped his wagon as it crossed the tracks near tho corner of O'Fallon and Sixteenth streets. McBride is 63 years old and tho proprie tor of n coal yard on North Sixteenth street. His victim is 19 years old and a butcher. McBride, It Is said, was under tho lnfiu enco of liquor. He was returning to his coal yard and drove so close to the tracks that the cars were unable to pass. A car approached from behind, and the motorman rang tho gong for some time before Mc Bride deigned to notice It. When he ar rived opposite the mouth of an alley near his yard, ho turned in. The motorman turned on the current a trifle too soon and the car struck one wheel of McBride's wagon, but did no damage. McBride became furious, and, leaving the wagon still obstructing the track, jumped down and ran into his house, coming out with a revolver, which ho discharged three times at the conductor. His hand was shaky and his aim bad, so the .bullets flew wild. Fred Goddejohann, who had been walking towards O'Fallon street, turned to see what was causing the disturbance, and received one of the bullets in his chest. The ball struck near the heart, and he fell, exclaim ing, "I am shot! I am shot!" A policeman.hearing the shots, ran around the comer and almost fell over the body of Goddejohann. He saw McBrldo standing in his door with the revolver In his hand, and placed him under arrest. An ambulance and patrol wagon were summoned, and Godde johann was hurried to the City Hospital, while McBride was taken to the Fourth Dis trict Station. Goddejohann was very weak when he ar rived at the City Hospital, and could only say that he had heard the first shots tired and had turned to see what was tho mat ter. He saw McBride standing on his door step, and Just as he turned McBride tired again, this shot striking him. McBride was taken later to the City Hos pital for Goddejohunn to identify, and was in a state of intoxication when he arrived there. Ho shouted out jovial responses to questions as to his name and address by the reception-room staff, and stumbled cheerfully up the btalrs after the police men who were escorting him. He admitted he had been shooting, and seemed to con sider It a great Joke. But what ha ban In the operating-room changed his mood. Goddejohann was stretched upon an operating table, covered only by a white sheet and with a trickle of blood flowing down from his chest. Mc Bride sobered up as suddenly as if he had been ducked In a pond, and, jerking off his hat, stood perfectly quiet. When Godde johann said, "Yes, that's the man who shot me," he muttered something inarticulate and quietly followed the officers downtalrs and to the patrol wagon. The car over which the difficulty arose was No. 19 of the Union line. In charge of Motorman John Listia and Con ductor William McCauley. The weapon with which McBride did tne shooting Is an old-style rusty British bulldog revolver, which looks as If It would be far more dangerous to the shooter than to the person shot at. Goddejohann's condition was considered precarious by Doctor NIetert. The opera tion of attending to tho wound was danger ous enough to require assistance from sev eral members of ths hospital staff.

New York, Aug. 10. R. G. Dun & Co.'a Weekly Review will say: "Progress has been mado toward a more stable position of business, with a few more heavy contracts to hold the ground already gained, but for a pioper Interpre tation of the week's results one must look beyond Wall street operations, where more than any other quarter the vacation season is leaving its impress of Inactivity. "Speculation is cautious, but investment holdings are being increased rather than diminished and operators cannot see that their hesitation on the ground of politics is echoed any more in general business circles than two months ago. Small change appears In railroads stocks, ten Industrials are Jl and Traction issues a shade lower. Working forces arc smaller and will soon bo further reduced, possibly, for three weeks, by the closing down of cotton mills in New England, which has been delayed longtr than expected, but our strength Is evidenced to the world by the oversub scription heie of the new British loan of 10.000,000 on about a 3; per cent basis, of which over half is allotted to American applicants. "London sale.-? of 40,000 shares of stocks and some bonds and American purchases of the new foreign loan explain why gold goes out on tho foreign commerce returns. wnicn snow lor iscw lorK alone lor tno week an excess of exports over imports of i more than $5,000,000. Exports for the week of 112,763,719 were more than double those of j the same period of 1839, and for the year I tho gain is over $$3,000,000, while imports gain only 120,000,000. Tho money market is untroubled by financing of the foreign loan. , inough tne volume ot new commercial loans Is well sustained. Sharp Full In Cotton. "Cotton fell so sharply that some recovery occurred In oversold speculative market, and spot sold at 10 cents when the official report appeared, notwithstanding many indications or turtner reduction in consumption. "Wheat advanced about a cent, helped by poor foreign crop reports. The domestic outlook la fairly cheerful, and farmers havo marketed freely. Receipts at interior cltie3, aggregating 6,2S7.5S1 bushels, against 3,916,216 last year, and 2.446,417 In 1SSS. Ex ports from Atlantic ports were only 1,720,963 bushels wheat, flour included, against 2,503, 344 last year, although purchases on foreign account were large and promise an increased movement hereafter. Corn gains nearly 2 cents with the aid of dry weather reports, and Is 8 cents above the price at this time last year. Both receipts and exports for tho week fell more than a million bushels below tho same week In 1S90. "Improvement is slow in boots and shoes, with only a small percentage of Eastern shops at work. The textile markets have been free from such features as marked re cent revisions of prices, but business Is of fair volume. Loss of the Chinese market has put coarse brown cottons In a bad position, other crades being less seriously affected. In woolen goods reorders are not up tor expectations, and somo serges sell lower. "Manufacturers show more interest In the wool market, taking fair quantities and seeking fewer concessions. The tone Is firmer, though prices are unchanged. Iron and Steel Outlook. "Although the conference at Chicago re cently failed to agree to reduce tho output of pig Iron. Individuals have acted inde pendently, and on August 1 only 240 fur naces were In blast, with a weekly capacity of 214,426 tons, according to tho Iron Age. This compares with a reduction of 283,413 July 1, by 281 furnaces, and 267,672 a year ago by 187 plants. "Present figures are the lowest since March, 1899, when tho capacity was 22S.193 tons Furnace stocks aro 004,341 tons, against 421,038 July 1. Reduction of capaci ty is larger In proportion than the recent accumulation of stocks. A smaller output of pig, with steadily increasing exports and moderate activity in structural and finished material, promise to put this industry on a more satisfactory basis. "Prices have steadied on tho lower level In most directions, but In some product!! the struggle is still on between buyers and sellers. A serious featuro la the wago controversy, which extends over a wide territory. "Production of coke decreases in propor tion to the similar output of iron. "Failures for the week were 177 in tho United States, against 136 last year, and 23 in Canada, against 29 last year. IMMENSE WHEAT CROP. Largest Ever Grown in Southeast Missouri Harvested.

As she continued Mrs. O'Day breathed heavily. She turned her head slightly toward the reporter, glanced at the nurse and added: "I want to say that I was perfectly sane when I shot myself and knew well what I was doing. I have no regrets, but I ex pect to live."

HEAT WAVE SLIGHTLY RE TARDED BUSINESS. Bookings for Fall Indicate a Hope ful Feeling in the More Important Branches. New York, Aug. 10. Bradstreet's to-morrow will say: Trade conditions still exhibit many of the Irregularities incident to the transition period between midsummer and early fall trade. Despite the hot wave, with its ef fect on the growing distributive demand and also because of the reports of damago to the com ciop, which It lias incited, a more cheerful feeling is perceptible In gen eral trade, and tho booking of fall orders for dry goods, clothins and hardware at leading Western centers and heavy engage ments In Iron and steel products, though at low prices, are of encouraging propor tions. "Prices are not showing tho precipitate declines noted somo time ago, and among the really encouraging features aie the ad vanco in wheat, mainly based on improved export inquiry. Wool Is rather firmer than of late, because of the better Inquiry, though it must bo admitted this steadiness Is somewhat at tho expense of new busi ness. Cotton goods partake of the strength of tho raw material, and where weakness is still perceptible, as in brown cottons, print cloths and wide sheetings, the natural corrective of reduced production is being Increasingly sought. Great Year In Cotton. "It has been a remarkable year in cot ton and cotton goods, and, although the goods market Is relatively weaker than the raw material, a great deal hinges on the next month's business in dry goods cir cles. It is regarded as certain that, with an 11,000,000 bale crop, values will bo main tained at lower prices. It is true, than tho present quotations for raw material, but still high, when compared with last or previous year's lange. The spring 'light weight' season has opened up prices 2Ji to 10 per cent higher than a year ago, and much depends on the attitude of buyers in guiding manufacturers as to purchases of raw material. While the dry goods demand, as a whole. Is .still classed us backward for tho season, hot weather Is credited with some of the responsibility, and tho trade attitude, as a whole. Is one of hopeful ex pectancy. "An immenso business in steel products Is reported booked at Pitisburg ana Chicago, and steel bars are really nrmer, with an advance of $4 per ton announced by Western manufacturers, who have sold their out put up to tho close of the year. "Pig iron is still neglected, but inquiry for this material is really better at the South, largely on export account, and furnace shut-downs are so numerous as to Indicate an adequate realization of the fact that the root of tho evil is in tho output of crude material. Current production is claimed to be tho lightest for more than a year past, and further announcements of Bhut-oowns are scheduled as far ahead as September 1. Structural Material.

More Out-of-Town Merchants in St. Louis Market Than at Same Time Last Year. TRADING IS DECIDEDLY BRISK. Little Attention Paid to Specu lative Conditions by Heaviest Purchasers Names of the Visitors. Yesterday was the banner day of the sea son in the number of arrivals of visiting merchants, and the force of clerks at the headquarters' of tho Interstate Merchants Association was kept busy from early in the morning until late in the evening registering the visitors. Sixty-four buyers registered, and many who arrived went direct to the different wholesale houses to do their buying without calling at the headquarters of the associa tion. The season is unusually late, but the num ber ot arrivals of buyers in the market so far shows a gratifying increase over last season and gives good promise for future trade. There have been more department store buyers in the market this season than were ever seen at this time before and there are also many largo shoe buyers in town. Although the present period comes after one of exceptional activity, there is every Indication of a prosperous fall trade. A majority of the merchants are of the opin ion that the volume of business will be lar ger than last year, and owing to the higher prices all along the line will exceed In money value the excellent fall trade of 1899. Tho Chinese War bugaboo Is a bearish factor In the cotton goods market, but mer chants as a rule are not alarmed at the out look, and there Is not another doubtful fea ture in tho whole situation.
