Is to procuring warrants, and l
need not repeat that you should

Very respectfully,

The Fan Trade in New York


The New York Times of Satur-
day says: The present week be-
ing the one corresponding to that
preceding last years panic, mer-
chants are generally comparing
their present trade with their trade
then. Extensive inquiries among
them show that they regard the
outlook very hopefully. It's true
that sales are not so large this
week as on the corresponding one
last year, bat o very fair trade is
being universally done. A COM
parison by the number of dollars
worth sold is thought to be an un
fair one, because of the exceeding
IL low rates now obtained. One
large house on Broadway said that
their sales of $4,000 on one day
this season fully equaled in guam.
tity of goods sold q trade of $780,.
600 last year-the difference rep
resenting a corresponding differ
ence in the price of goods
Another popularity of this season
seems to be that the trade is being
done this week which was done il
the preceding week last year
The reason is that tn,
trade this year is, so to speak
q hand to mouth one. The coun
try retailers bought only thos'
goods which they saw their VA
to selling. Now they are bacl
again completing their purchase
which last year they would hav,
made all at once. General,
speaking, a very fair average trad
is being done with good promis
of increase; but at the same tim
those merchants inquired Of uni
versally deny that anything unu
sual is being done in any line O
goods or on any particular duty
the rumor to the contrary notWith
standing.

CRA FED nv INSULT.
Peoria (Ill.) Democra


The peculiar case of Miss Carrie
Ballard, who arrived in this city
last Saturday morning in a some
what deranged state of mind, has
attracted considerable attention du-
ring the past few days, and we are
glad to be able to state that, al
though her mind is not entirely
tranquil since the shock it received
while travelling III the night, yet abe
appears perfectly rational, and in a
day or two of rest she will probably
be as well as ever, both mentally
and physically.
She has read our statement of her
case, published on Sunday morning,
and prom ounces it correct, except
that her home is on q farm some
twenty miles from Avoca, in Potta.
wattomie county, Iowa. Her father
happens TO be at that town, where
dispatches have been received from
him. Her mother, Mrs. w. F. Bal.
lard, arrived in this city last even
ing, and since then her daughter
has seemed perfectly rational. Mrs
D. telegraphed to her husband last
night that all was well.
On listening to the story of Mis-
Carrie, it does not seem very sur
prising that she was affected al
heretofore described; in fact, pint
young ladies' of her age, out of eve
ry ten, who were accustomed Il
travelling, or being away from home
would have been similarly affected
under similar circumstances. He

LONDON Oct. AT FIVE O'Clock
this morning a barge lying in Re-
gents canal, near the Geological
gardens and loaded with powder,
exploded, killing a number of per-
sons, wounding many, and shatter-
ing the bridges aud houses in the
vicinity. The report was heard for
distance OF twenty miles. Fire
men have been dragging the canal
all morning. Five bodies, victims
of the explosion, have been recov-
cred. Lights in railway stations
and other buildings ten miles away,
were extinguished by the concus-
sion.
Many persons made a narrow es-
cape from death. A number of an
finals in the garden were killed.
The quantity of powder was four
tons.
Details of the occurrence show
that its disastrous effects were
widespread. Many trees were up
rooted, and houses located two
miles distant from the canal, were
shattered.
Seven persons are yet missing.
There was a perfect panic hero for
hours, and it was not until the
cause of the terrible report was
learned that the fears of the people

ties ship only 400 more cattle in
eight months over this road, than
Emporia does. 1t is admitted by
all persons conversant with the
Texas cattle trade, that this is the
last season that any considerable
numbers will be driven to market.
The railroads now penetrating
that country, will do tho business
with much less driving than form
erly.
AS consequence we expect to
sec domestic stock command bet
ter prices, and receive more atIen-
tion in future. This State would
have been much better off if
Texas steer had never entered
it. This fact is realized by our
stock men, and most of them have
only used this class of stock as a
temporary expedient, while they
were grading up their domestic
herds.
When the time comes, and it is
near ut hand, that Kansas shall be
known as the Great Cattle State,
then will the City of Emporla be
known as the center of that vast
business.
Plans are already being matur-
ed, which will be carried out as
soon as the country RECEIVERS from
this temporary depression, by
which the facilities for transporta-
tion to and from this city will be
greatly increased. This is prob
ably the last year that stock can
be fed cheaper east of the Missis-
sippi than in Kansas. Already
some of the heaviest dealers in
Illinois are making their arrange
mcnts to transfer their entire in
terests to this section. In the
near future We expect to see some
of the heaviest beef and pork
packing houses in the country in
full operation at Emporia, the CEN
ter of the Great Cattle State.
