The Outlook from the East.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-R. G. Dun & Co. IS
mercantile agency reports that the business
situation does not improve. The manifest
shrlnkage in the volume of trade at this
point is shared in by seven large commercial
centers, while eleven cities show a slight
gain in business. Merchandise shows de-
cline IN volume as the season approaches its
close, but there has been a fair amount of
profit in the transactions of the. week, as
prices have been pretty steadily maintained.
Collections are good and notwithstanding a
large increase in the number of failures the
losses by bad debts do not impair a fairly
profitable season. The grain mar
kets are irregular and close
weak at about previous rates
There has been a slight variation in the
price of cotton, with the tendency some
what downward. Pork and lard are fairly
steady with light variations in prices There
was no special change in wool. Large
speculation has taken place in petroleum
during the week, but the fluctuations are
light, ranging between 1 and cents. The
money market continues to show remarka-
BILE ease, there being plethora of money for
everything except stock speculation. The
bank deposits amount to nearly $500, 900, 000
showing an increase of $50, ,000, 900 as COM
pared with last year, indicating large with
drawals of money from speculation.
There have been 243 failures in the United
States and Canada during the past week, an
increase of fifty-six over the previous week
mainly in the New England States the
South and the West. Failures are increas-
ing in Canada.

Failure of a Cotton Mill Firm

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Oct. 19,-The paper of
the St. Croix Cotton Mill, Lewis Dexter,
treasurer, went to protest to-day. The mill
is located in Miltown, on the st. Croix
river New Brunswick. The cause is said to
be the failure of d. Morrice of Montreal.

In these dispatches, few days since, it
was stated that pork had been below present
prices but twice in seventeen years. Atten-
ton might have been called to the prices of
1873 the great panic year, when the lowest
price of pork during the whole year was in
November, and which was $11 per barrel.
There has been lately some good buying of
January pork by packers brokers, and
higher range OF values is expected, with better
rates for hogs.
Cash lard is firm, and October commands
premium over the deferred deliveries but
the market is mostly scalping one. The
panic which prevailed in Wall street had
very depressing influence on our wheat
market. Good parties have, however, taken
all the larger offerings, and as they are fresh
buyers they may not scare so easy as
the old demoralized bulls. But no one looks
for any immediate large advance while the
bears insist on lower prices although we are
lower now, considering freights, than any
time in eighteen years. We have learned to
respect the opinion of the bears, and this may
turn out to be an exceptional year. 1t has
so far. The stories Of bad results from
threshing in Dakota are of no account at
present. The stocks of wheat here and the
visible supply in the country are increasing
daily, and it looks as if the Chicago elevators
will have more grain than they can easily
and safely handle this winter
A good many bears on wheat are bullish on
IL -
ing is very small i'll corn and very large in
wheat. Corn has been featureless dur
ing the week. The receipts of corn con-
tinue larger than the bulls promised.
Such of this years crop of corn as was
not damaged by the frost was greatly helped
by it. 1t hastened It's maturity, There will
be vast quantities of the new crop in here in
November and December and there is plenty
OF old to keep up the supply until next
month. If 1888 corn is going to arrive here
in good condition, and inspect either next
month or the month after in large quantities,
it is folly to bull it. Still the visible supply
is decreasing at present.
There are rumors in the air that large
commission house, which has been bulling
the markets all the way down, and turned
to the bear side at the bottom, has become
involved aud is now being tided over by the
assistance of friends. One of these heavy
friends has recently been whipsawed severely
in the market, and one of the other strong
hackers, who advised the unfortunate house
to buy wheat was discovered to be selling
the same stuff through brokers. The COM
plcations may cause the house to collapse.

Now that the commission is in the
Territory to look into affairs in connect
ion with the reservation Indians, we
hope they will see that q few lazy Indi-
ans are occupying, and consequently
holding from occupation by white set
tlen, thousands of square miles Of valu-
able land of no practical utility to them,
and will report accordingly 80 that steps
may be taken at an early day to throw
these hands open to settlement, and the
soones tl,atsths i done the better will it
he for the territories in which these large
reservations exist. In South Eastern
Montana the Crows occupy vast area
which they do not utilize in any manner
whatever. while the whole North Of
alontsala isone ooetinuous strip of re-
scrvation. 1T IL only a-qiestion of time
when these reservation Indians will
have to adapt themselves to the habits
of civilization or starve, and if they do
not adapt themselves voluntarily to it
measures should be taken which will
make it a necessity for them to do so.
We trust the visit of this commission
will result iu6grcat good to our Terri
tory.

The solution of salts of lime and mag
nesia are among the chief causes of the
quality called hardness in water. Their
carbonates are broken up by boiling for
the heat dissipatcs the carbonic acid,
when the insoluble bases are deposited,
and, with such other insoluble matters
as are present, form incrustations such
as seen in tea-kettles and boilers where
hard waters have been heated. The car
Donates in moderate quantities are less
troublesome to human constitutions than
to steam users. The effects of the car
Donates are termed temporary hardness.
The sulphates, chlorides, and nitrates Of
lime and magnesia are not dissipated by
ordinary boiling. Their effects are
therefore termed permanent hardness.
The waters which are being daily used
in Bozeman are of this latter class.
A gallon Of pure water can take up
about two grains Of carbonate of lime,
when it is said to have two degrees OF
hardness; but the presence Of carbonic
