Are there any foes more danger

And a nation that has not yet con-
cciyed of or organized its social en-
ergy into an industrial State, that
has not yet conceived of industrial
unity after sacrificing hundreds Of
thousands of lives and millions OF

has something far more important

BUSINESS OF THE COUNTRY.

General Weekly Review of Trade by r.
Il. Dun Co., of New York.
New YORK, October 19.-R. G. Dun d
Co.'s weekly review of trade: Exports of
bread stuffs, cotton, provisions, petroleum
and cotton from the principal ports in
September were $33,2OS,679 in value,
against $37 ,049,761 last year. But since
October the bread stuff movement has
been almost entirely arrested, as is natural
with prices, at New York higher than at
Liverpool, and December wheat as high
at Chicago as at New York. The
perception of the unnatural
state of the markets has led
to some deciners during the week, wheat
having fallen &c; corn, 2$8c; hogs and
lard a of cent each; cotton an 18c; re-
fined oil the same, and petroleum certif-
Gates 1 cent.
During the week the treasury paid
out $12,000,000; $2,40O,00O, silver, and
100000, legal tenders. An addition of
over $15,00O000 to the circulation in a
week would tend in ordinary conditions
to lift prices in the speculative markets
and yet the tendency of prices has been
downward during the week. Every in
terror point reporting represents business
as improving, and at not few
it is larger than year ago.
Increased transactions OF speculative
csnters swell bank clearings SO that the
increase, outside of New York, over last
year is about 10 per cent, but, with full
allowance for the influence of speculation,
it is evident that the volume of legitimate
trade is also very large; no complaint of
scarcity of money is heard in this city,
though it still shows signs of abatement,
nor are complains of hardness in collec =
tions as frequent as they were recently.
The coal trade is now quiet. 10 lead a
fall Of 40c per 100 pounds in day was
attributed entirely to speculation, and the
same influence lifted coffee slightly,
though the distributive demand is still
restricted.
The sugar market favors buyers, and in
groceries generally there is some evidence
of slackening demand.
The wool market continues strong,
with the best grades scarce and prices
have egain slightly advanced.
Dry goods, though the trade at present
is only moderate in volume, and buyers
continue to operate with caution. Failures
occurring throughout the country during
the past week number 224, as compared
with 227 last week and 211 the week previ-
GUS. For the corresponding week last
year the figures we're pol.

THURMAN All BRAZIL

The Old Roman Visits the Mining
Regions of Indiana.
BRAZIL, Ind, October 20.-The big
meeting at this place had the advantage
of splendid weather, and people were on
hand to see the sold Roman" judge
Thurman and party, escorted by a dele
cation of dozen Brazilians, left Indian
apolis few minutes after 10 O'Clock on
a special train. The trip was quiet
and uneveneful, few people at the va
rious stations waving greetings, but with
no stops being made for speeches. Gov
ernor Gray was on board, but other
IndianapoIians had gone on before.
Brazil is in the center of the mining
region, and this is miners day.
The pleasant weather drew big crowd
which tested the capacity of the little city
to its utmost. There was no barbecue
only big demonstration, with a parade
and speeches, the latter being delivered
at grove on the edge of the town.
A large and enthusiastic crowd well
coined the party at the depot ard the pro-
cession acted as an escort to him up
town.

Another Violent and Bitter Contest Be

KANSAS CRY, October 19.-In the county

day, Ulysses received clean majority of
also. The people of Appomatox, the
other leading town, charged General
Taylor and Colonel Grayson, of Hutchin-
son, with selling them out to Ulysses and
seized and notwithstanding to lynch them
when the sheriff and large armed posse
arrived. Each town is said to have put up
$4,000 forfeit not to use money in the
election. About 8 O'Clock on election day
the Ulysses men began spending money
lavishly to buy votes. The Appomatox
men then seized Taylor and Grayson, who
had been managing the campaign for
them, and forced them to assign warranty
deeds for all their property as we'll as
checks for $4,000 on all banks where the
two had money. Payment on the checks
has been stopped and proceedings will
commence to set aside the deeds. Another
county seat war is feared.

LLANO LOCALS.

Good Prospects of Securing the Arkansas
Pass Railway-Cost of Grading.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
LLANo, October 19.-There was large
and enthusiastic meeting at the court
house to night to hear the report of En-
gineer House on the cost of grading the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass railway ex-
tension from the bridge across the Guada-
lupe river in Kendall county, to Llano,
distance of seventy-fve miles on the line
surveyed. The total cost will be frac-
over $143,000. The estimated cost of
grading from the county line, near the
of twenty-five miles, is $27,0O0. The COM
mittee are at work securing subscriptions,
and are sanguine that they will secure at
least $4,000 within one week. The people
are in earnest and united, and we hope in
the next thirty days to be able to
chronicle the fact of the closing of the
contract with President Lott for the road.
There is sufficient granite at the En-
chanted Rock to build all the sea walls

and the line of the extension
runs at the base of it, and near
some of the finest beds of soapstone or
steatite in the county. The natural
wealth OF Llano county has never been
correctly estimated, but few of the wiser
heads in San Antonio have long suspected
it, and hence will give us good substantial
aid in securing railway connection with
their city. A gentleman from San Saba
assures us that his people will help on the
good work, and with $4,000 subscribed
here in lefs than twenty-four hours after
hearing the report of the engineer, GER
tainly we have good reasons for feeling
elated at the prospects.
The protracted meeting conducted by
Elders Sanders and Pritchett is still in
progress.
A long train of wagons loaded with cot
ton, wool and pecans passed through town
to day en- route to Burnet. LlanO and
San Antonio will catch next years crop, il
the present signs fail US not.
The political pot is simmering again,
and will doubtless boil by November 6.

Hotel Burned--Halr- Breadth Escape OF
Some of the Quests.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
GAINESVILLE, October 20.-The Floren-
tine hotel was destroyed by fire in this city
at o'clock this morning. 1t was a wooden
structure and burned so rapidly that
many of the guests barely escaped. Those
cut off from the stairway escaped by
sliding down the gallery posts and i'm
provised fire escapes made of sheets.
During the progress of the fire consider
able excitement was caused by report
that some one had been burned, but this
proved untrue. The building was insured
for $3.50, as follows: $3.50 in the
British and Mercantile, and $1,000 in the
National of Hartford. 1t was owned by
Schieff, Sommer d TO-, of this city.
The furniture was owned by Mrs.
Mary Tourney, and was insured for 81 900
in the Northern association, and $1,000 in
the FIRE association. There was nothing
saved, many of the guests escaping in
their night clothes.
Hon. j. W. Bailey, elector for the state
at large, addressed large and enthusi-
astic audience at the court house this
noon on the ISSUES involved ia the cam
paigD. The audience included a large
number of ladies, more than have turned
out to any previous political meeting in
this city since the campaign opened.
