BUSINESS PROSPECTS FOR THE

1t is teiiercd that, what With abun.
dart crops good markcts and strong
motives for fastening transportation,
there are good grounds for expecting
On acIivo business season during the
coming autumn. The cotton crop, as
We have lately mentioned, is very ia.
vorably reported, us it is said to have
amounted to 1906, 900 bales,or within
$50, 900 bales Of the largest recent
crop, that Of 1876. Tho crops Of
wheat and corr will be especially ex-.
ccllent. It should Se borne in mind
that great doubt exists upon the Ques-
ton whether the war in the East will
be protractcd or not, both belIigercuts
being financially weak, while ut The
same time it is difficult to SEQ how Rus
sic can consent to make peace unit! she
has wiped out tho discredit which has
fallen on her arms in recent disasters
Still tho possibility Of peace will be to-
ken into account by bushes; men, and
may impart great activity to tue fall
trade. The London Economist Of Au
gust 4 hss elaborate comparative table:
Ofprices, from which it appears that
tue price Of wheat in England now is
thirty.tLrco and onc.third per cent
higher now than it was a year ago;
which will DO great stimulus to &C.
tivity in forwarding tho new crop.
Even If the war should close the pri-
&C Of grain will probably be high, on
account Of tho interruption to indu stry,
and the waste and destruction caused
BY the war, which will leave little grain
10 be exported by our chief rivals,
while the famine in India. intcrruptlug
tue supply Of rice, will havO its effect
in increasing tho demand for other
kinds Of fool. There are those, howcv.
or, who consider it simply incredible
that Russia will consent to make peace
uuti! she has exhausted all the rcsour-
ces Of thu empire ia attempting to re-
tricvc her military disasters. There
is reason in all these considerations for
the conclusion that American farmers
will prosper, and that tho railroads,

Death or vanderb,I,,s H,s,e~


NEw YoRK, January 6.-Mrs. Char
lotte DeFerrest Egbert, sister Of the late
Commodore Vanderbilt, died at her resi-
dence, Staten Island, yesterday Of pneu-
monia. Mrs. Egbert wal eighty-ive
years and seven days old at the time of
her death, or about two years older than
her brother. She resembled the Com.
modore very much in disposition and
spirit and was looked upon as a thorough
woman Of business. She lived on Staten
Island ell her life. and occupied the
house in which she died for the past
htty'five years. DR.. Linsley spoke Of the
fact as the most remarkable in the annals
OF medical history, that a few moments
before Commodore Vanderbilt died he
closed bis eyes and the lids remained
shut after his deeth. Mrs. Egbert did
the same thing, closing her eyes a few
moments before death, and her eyes re.
manned lightly closed after death.
