ToBACCoNIsTs THE GAMERS.
A Curious Result of tho Anti Smoking
Agitation Caused by Grants Illness.
From NE Nets YORK Sun.

IRON me NC1 lOFk sun.
"Gen. Grants illness, and the talk
about cigar smoking which it caused, had
a slight effect upon our business said a
downtown dealer yesterday, "and the
curious part Of it is that it swelled our
receipts. IL is easily accounted for. The
women folks, who you know, are always
ready TO seize some excuse 10 urge the
men to cease smoking, undoubtedly
talked a great many men into making
more or less cast-irOn resolves 10 give up
the habit. Nine ont OF ten Of our custom
ers would speak about II jocularly as they
bought their cigars. Most Of them
who are in the hHbit Of smoking FIVE
or six cigars compromised on twO-one az
ter dinner and one nfter supper-but when
q man stops smoking half dozen cigars
day and substitutes two, he always ar
gues that ne deserves better cigar for
virtues sake. Men who used 10 buy
three-f0r-a-quarter cigars 10 the extent Of
half dozen day, now buy 20 or 25-cent
cigars and con tent themselves with two Of
them. We make more money selling n
man two cigars for so cents than we do
selling six for 30. But the other and most
important points this: The man who con-
tracts the habit Of smoking % cent cigars
will rarely II ever so back TO cheaper
brands, up less his expenses f0rc9 him To-
40 that In tue end, it - my opinion, the
tobaccOnisfs Will make, rather than lose,
by the anti-smoking agitation

CURED BY FAITH.
ParsOn Withers' Story of the Restora-
tiOn OF His Sons Health.

ParsOn Withers' Story of the Restora-
tiOn OF His SONS Health.
Hot SPRINGS, ARK, Oct. 1s.-The
Methodist church Of this city was crowded
to-day by people anxious to learn some
thing about what appears to be a miracu-
lous case Of prayer cure. The case was
that of a son of Dr.. II. R. Withers, pastor
Of the church, who is a very learned and
scientific minister, and in no wise gwen
70 fanaticism. The pastor has been ab-
sent for some weeks, watching by the
sick bed of his boy, who for more than a
month has lain very low with bloody flux
and typhoid fever combined. In
the course Of his sermon to-day,
which was unusually able and
eloquent, bearing on the particular inter-
ventiOn 9nd operations OF God in particu-
lar ways to accomplish His ends, the pas
tor related the marvellous story. The sick
boy had sunk beneath four long weeks Of
terrible disease. The medical treatment
had been all that human skill could afford.
The patient was internally liberated from
his mouth to the extremity of his bowels.
Consciousness had fled, physicians bad
given him up to die, aud ceased remedial
applications. The father and family
were told the last moment had come,
and the sick boy could live but
q little longer. Ihe limbs were
cold and clammy to the knees and elbows.
The pulsation was $50 per minute, while
the heart beat barely perceptible, and in
the hight OF science recovery was hope
less. The old minister had been praying,
and his faith was strong. "My son." he
said, "will recover. l feel a conscious
ness in my heart" He gathered as many
Christians together as he could hastily,
and anOinted the sick boy with oil in their
presence, with scripture reading, and
prayed before God for the recovery of his
dying boy. Very soon the cold limbs
grew warm, the heart beat stronger, and
the pulse fell to %. The Assem- bled people
heheld these changes with wonder. A
little later. the sick boy who had been un-
| conscious for two weeks opened his eyes
and was rational. In less than two hours
he spoke to those around his bed and
called for food, the first he had eaten for
three weeks. That has been more than
a week ago, and be has continued to grow
steadily better without medical treat
ment.
/ The congregation was much affected by
the sermon and the narration OF the
strange recovery. DR.. Withers said he
| believed it a cure effected by divine aid
/ in answer to prayer.

COUNTY, TAX CASES.

a sett cement Made By the Central Pa
cihc Railroad in California.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. M.-In the long
disputed case for taxes claimed by Colu.
ga. Sacramento, San Mateo, Fresno and
santa Clara counties, due iron the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad Company for the
years 1881 and 1882, which is on appeal TO
the United States Supreme Court, it is
learned that the three first named coun-
ties have accepted the railroad company's
offer of the full face value OF the taxes,
leaving the question of interest and pen
alties to be decided later by the courts.
The result Of this acceptance will, it is
believed, Oblige Fresno and Santa Clara
counties TO accept the same terms, mas
much as the Supreme Court refused to
hear the claims Of each county separately
but punched them together, as involving
the same issues. The question of inter-
est and penalties cannot, in its regular
course. be heard by the Supreme court
until 1890. The acceptance on the part
Of the counties Is viewed as a satisfac
tory settlement both for them and the
company. The amount at issue for In,
terest and penalties is over 1000, 000

PRICES TENDING UPWARD.
Scarcity OF Raw Material and an Inn
proving Demand Tha Causes.

l
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 21.-Tbere are evil
dences of an upward tendency in prices
in several branches of American industry.
Among these are certain kinds of iron and
steel, as tor instance, steel rails, wrought
pipe, nails and sheet iron. In textile in
dustries there has been a sharp advance
in wool from Sc. to sc. per pound, coupled
with corresponding advance in
wooden goods and hosiery. Boot, shoe
and leather manufacturers have also ad-
vanced prices, and further strengthen
ing Of prices is probable, owing 10 the
heavy demand and the increasing con-
5umptive capacity of the country. Lum-
her is steadier in price, and wholesale
dealers in primary markets are holding
for frmer figures. Anthracite and btu
miDous Goals are selling at low summer
prices, but there are indications that
higher prices will be obtained as soon az
navigation closes on water lines. The ei-
feet Of this favorable indication is to give
confidence to manufacturers, jObbers and
retailers generally, and create the hope
that opportunities VIII be developed by
the opening of spring for The construction
OF additional lines Of road and for the
building of number of important engi-
neering enterprises which have been held
THE IMPROVEMENT SURPRISE.
The improvement Las been a surprise to
many, who were unable to perceive any
causes at work to better the existing con-
ditions. The low prices of the past two
years have invOluntarily curtailed pro-
duction TO very large extent, the full
significance and effect of which was not
perceived by the controlling heads in dit
ferent industries, owing to the lack Of
organization through which statistics of
production can be gathered. The effect
is now seen in the scarcity of raw mate
rial in many directions, and this, coupled
with the improving demand from all
quarters, is imparting an upward tenden-
cy TO prices referred to. The iron trade is
in a better condition than tor a good
while, and more capacity is employed
than for many months in all branches
except furnace capacity. Stocks are
quietly decreasing and production is in
creasing in those sections of
country, which are found to possess more
advantage than the older pig iron pro-
ducing sections. Business for the week in
steel rails Will foot up between $4,000 and
10000 ions. All eastern markets have re-
ceved large supplies Of Lumber. Heavy
shipments OF textile goods covering
hosiery, carpets and dry goods have been
crowded forward to meet the urgent mail
and telegraphic orders. The boot and
sGOe makers in Philadelphia and through
out the New England States are for the
most part taxed to meet the demand for

ness of buyers throughout the West and

mands Of the country are presented. The

tiOns are improving, and manufacturers
throughout the Middle and New England
States, where the bulk of the winter or
ders have been filed, are preparing sam
pies for the spring trade.
