MILWAUKEE,, Sept. 23.-The past week has
been one OF much interest in its events to
many, and Of serious importance to several.
The continuation Of the State Fair through
Monday and Tuesday was relief and an amuse-
ment to large number. Monday afternoon
was holiday, the banks closing and many
places entirely suspendfng business to give their
employees chance to attend the Fair, and see
the races. The sham-batt1e OF the Chicago regi-
ment OF militia, which visited us on Sunday
last, drew away from the Fair large number,
the novelty and attraction being much greater
than the meagre exhibition within the Fair
grounds The receipts at the gates Of the Fair
On Sunday were much less than was expected,
for the day Tas remarkably fine, and but for the
militia exhibition the Agricultural Society
would have had so large an attendance as would
have lifted them out of their financial trouble.
The yalions meetings OF the stockholders, cred
1tors OF the Iron Company and Of E P. ALis s.
Co., have made some stir. The utmost conf
dence Is expressed In the continuation OF the
rolling and making Of iron at the Iron Compa-
ny's mills, and nobody believes there will be
any stoppage. As there 0re from 9, 900 to 1850
persons dependent upon the Iron Company for
employment, the Importance OF their continued
running can be easily seen.
There have been many political meetings,
With one or TWO professions, which have in
parted some life to what would have otherwise
been dull week.
TUE COAL QUESTION UNCHANGED.
have endeavored in my dispatches to keep
you posted rs to the coal question, which is
very important one, as hard winter, and per-
haps very cold one, too, is expected. I learn
that there will be IN abundance OF coal in Mil
vnukee, and the only question is, Will the coal
merchants lower the price? Over and over il the
question asked, "Why should we in Milwaukee
pay 81 so more than they do in Chicagov' Echo
only. 30 far. answers, Why? There is again talk
cd OF the opening Of new yard with coal bought
at the reduced p.1cea but this remark is met with
The assertion from some of the coal dealers here:
DO you suppose those fellows down there are
gong 10 cell ne" yard coal and ruin us, their old
customersf' The only reply to this question Is by
asking another: ''Well why can't you sell coal as
Cheap as they do in Chcagoy and to this question,
as to the first, echo" Or silence is the only re-
'pondent- We Shall soon know what they will do |
Eood is cheap the bert sawed ends, maple, is So
ioFd. delivered. The low price is a godEcnd to
he poor, who will be 60 much ont Of employment |
this winter.
