The most interesting news that we

more than one thousand souls pres

out Of that number that there was as
many as three hundred and fifty COM
municants. Since Sunday there has
been a crowded house at each service.

Money in the Melon Business.

Chicago Herald: "Must be big
money in the melon business" saba
loquacious man on an Illinois Cen
tral train. 81 see they're selling 'em
in Chicago at % cents apiece. There's
money in that. The farmers ought
to be getting rich. Why, down in
Michigan where | used to live, we
often raised 600 whopping big melons
on patch no bigger'n the floor Of
this here car"
"That'll never do" replied the
man in thenext seat, with an in
credulous smile; "that'll never do in
the world. Six hundred melons
would cover a space as bigas the floor
of this car all over so you couldn'tsee
the ground. 1t must be your stories
that are whoppers instead of the
melons,"
"That shows all you known about
the melon business. OF course, 600
melons would cover a piece aground
of that size all up, and a good deal
more. Everybody knows that.
There wouldn't be any fun in the
business if they didn't. Why, sir,
when | had a truck farm over in
Michigan melons were dirt cheap,
and it took a good deal of ingenuity
to make any money out of|em. But

BradstreSt's Weekly Report.


New York, September 1O.-Dis
patches to Brdd,treet's this week from
the leading trade centers of the coun.
try indicate continual improvement il
the stae of trade. The forecasts OF
rec ent weeks regarding fall trade are
being made good. The Western cities
generally report trade brisk and in
large volume. Cincinnati sends word
of a general hardening of prices and
increasing demand since last report.
Marked improvement in the jobbipg
trade is acted at Detroit. At Louis
vile general trade shows a distinct
gain over preceding weeks, and spir-
lied revival as compared with sevei al
preceding years. Kansas City
telegrsphs increasing acliV-
itV with a more liberal
movement than for several weeks. Al
Pitts burg and others point further
East trade has teen halting measure.
bly, owing to the unreasonable hot
weather. the temporary ill effects OF
the hot weather on New England
trade is noted at Boston. The bank
clealings at thirty cities for this week
amounted to S77S. 497 ,2l4 as compared
with $754,099,602 last week. The
decline last week from the total of the
preceding week was 6.I0 per cent,
and this week the increase is 1.5 per
cent.
The New York stock market shows
a firmer tone, consequent upon i'm
provement in earnings and a prospect
that the granger roads will form a
harmonious pool. Speculation until
the close OF the week was slack, but
transactions in stocks amounted to
$50, 900 shares, against 633,000 shares
last week. Bonds were little more
active, transactions in them amount
ing to $5,347, 900, par value, against
$4,869,000 last week. Money is much
easier, Caltloans being quoted at from
4 to per cent, and some instances of
lower rates are noted. Time leans are
up from to per cent, and CONNER
cial paper is firm. Foreign exchange
shows a tendency to stifIen rates. The
earnings OF forty.four railroads
throughout the country for August
gives 1884, 1888 against Sic, 557 900 in
August, 1000.
The New York cotton market has
been dull, prices slightly weaker. The
report Of the National Cotton Ex-
chsngs places the crops OF 1885. SO at
6,575,000 bales, against q crop of
5,706, 900 bales last year. The total
home consumption OF cotton for the
year was the largest ever known.
Dry goods commission houses at
Boston report fair amount of bust
ness doing Pricrs are firm with oc-
casional advances. While the mills
are actively employed, consumption
keeps even pace with production.
Ia the East the inquiry for crude
iron has been moderate. st. Louis
telegIaphs that an increasing volume
OF iron is reaching consumption. The
domestic wheat markets have been
without marked activity.

THE COTTON OIL TRUST.
Predictions That IL Will Go to Par
some Lucky Holders.

st. Louis Republican, 9th: Cotton
Oil Trust certificates touched So in
New York yesterday, an advance OF
three points since Monday. Six months
ago, when the Republican gave the in
side history of the American Cotton
Oil Trust and its relations with the
Standard Oil Company, the certificates
were selling at S22, and some Of the in
vestors at theee figures vera lament
ing their hard luck in having such Sc
curities in their possession. The ad-
vance since that time has b3en steady
and continuous, amounting TO 1856 on
each cert ticate, or over 100 per cent.
Co, ton seed oil has advanced during
the came time from 33C to 40c, the
last advance Of &c occurring yesterday.
AS stated some time ago some ST.
Louis holders, among the rest Mosts
FTaley and Ewing Hill, who were
large owners of trust .certifica g., sold
out when the stock touched S28,
against the advice of Inside parties.
All who let their stock 90 are now con-
s.derably depressed while the fellows
who held on to the certificates are cor
respondingly happy. Henry Haarstic,
John Maxon, A, B. Strain, r. B.
Brown, Rolla Wells and VIM. Nichols
are some OF the st. Louisans who
have been enriched by the advance.
The end is not yet in the opinion Of
some of these gentlemen, who talk
confidently Of 500 for the certificates.
Frsley had 600 shares on which his
profits would have been $75, 1000.
Judging from the fact that oils have
been put and the stocks have been
advancing, the Trust mus. now own
nearly all the desirable mills in the
country.
1t is alleged that there is a short in
terest in New York that is in process
OF being squeezed out. The market
there opened at 5Sc, 80 d down to sac,
and closed SIC bid, 57lc asked.
