The Droufb.
New YORK, Oct. 27.-The moderate
rains of the past day or two have brought
but partial relief TO the industries depen-
dent on water power; the drying up of
streams in the Atlantic States may be
said to entend from Androskoggan down
to the James, and even some of the local
| rivers, like the Delaware, are fordable at
points where such thing has not been
| known for many years. The drought,
| however, is felt more seriously at the
| eastward, and its effects are beginning to
be felt in commercial as well as manu-
featuring circles. The Boston Journal of
| Yesterday, says the scarcity of water is
having bad effect upon nearly all kinds
| of merchandise, restricting the demand
especially for raw materials. Cotton,
wooden and paper mills are all running
on short time. In Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware not few important
| industries have been brought to dead
halt by stoppage of the mills. The Pas
sale and karitan are unprecedently low.
! The Brandywine is quite dry, and at
Wilmington and other places in that part
| of the country several establishments
have been compelled to shut down.
Summing up the Prospects.
CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-The Times, summing
us prospects of the campaign, says it has
concentrated now in New York. Before
the October elections it concentrated
elsewhere. Republican tactics do not by
| any means include abandonment of Con-
necticut, New Jersey and Maine. They
are conducting fairly vigorous canvass
in those states also, so necessary to their
success if they lose New York, but they
| have evidently determined to fight the
| enemy on his own grounds and make
their victory more crushing by carrying
his center at the same moment they turn
his wings. The republicans can spare
New York and the demodrats cannot.
But, notwithstanding this, the republic
cans are making ten times more vigorous
effects to carry that state than are the
democrats.
