he ever used the words: There is no

him in q conversation published here July
4, and has been taken as the basis of much
criticism of Mr.. Armour in connection with
the subsequent passing Of the dividend
Mr.. Armour explains that the reporter
made no notes Of the conversation and
wrote from memory. The paper publish
ing the article states its belief that in the
sentence the reporter misapprehended
what was really said. Mr.. Armour says
the interview as published was, otherwise,
reasonably correct.

TRADE REPORT.

A General Favorable Condition OF Trade
Reported BY Bradstreet.
NEW YORK, Sept. IA nearly general
continuance of previously existing favor.
able trade with further improvement
in certain sections of the West and
South is reported in the special telegraphic
advices to Brddstreet's this week. At the
West the improved prospects of the corn
crop, increasing receipts of wheat and bet
ter weather conditions have induced Q
further improvement in general trade at
Omaha, Burlington and Detroit, and caused
Q full average distribution at st. Louis,
Kansas City and Louisville. Progress in
harvesting in the lower Mississippi
has involved q larger movement of mer.
chandise at New Orleans. Cotton receipts
at Galveston axe increasing with the cot
ton crop reported fair. The fall dry goods
trade at New York and Boston is quieter
with q seasonable distribution in leading
lines. Wheat crop advices are conflicting,
but the corn crop is about saved, while the
rice crop on the South Atlantic coast has
been damaged by overfows. Money is
slightly easier at several points in the
West where Eastern money has been tend.
ing, notably Omaha and Louisville; Bos-
ton and Philadelphia are also easier than
last week. New Orleans and San Fran
cisco are stringent. Money at Kansas
City is in active demand but not stringent.
The New York stock market is feverish
and unsettled. A manipulative adj
vance in st. Paul stock on its
oversold condition and rumors of foreign
stockholders opposing the present man
agement, temporarily arrested the decline
in prices. Money at New York is fairly
easy with call loans from to az per cent.
Bradstreet's special report Of the earn
ings per mile Of ninety-seven railroads
during July, and seven months Of four
years shows that the aggregate mileage
earnings from January to July 81 are rs
per cent. less than in 1887, but are SO per
cent. and S.3 per cent. larger than in 1885
and 1885. respectively.
Wheat is steady but higher than two
days ago on account Of reported damage
TO the spring wheat crop in Minnesota and
Dakota. Corn is cent lower ON dimin-
ished danger from frost, and oats is cent
lower on the week on increased movement,
while lard is s to 16 points dearer ON
speculation and diminished prospective
supply, and pork steady and firm. Ocean
freights are frmer on scarcity Of charter
room. Lake and canal freights are firm,
the rate per 1000 pounds from Chicago to
New York on grain being $2.5.
Iron is in lighter demand at the West,
but orders for pig already booked will
about provide for . full output for the re-
mainder Of the year. Prices are now above
the basis Of many of these contracts. Old
rails continue strong ON light stocks.
Manufactured iron and steel is in moder-
ate demand and at unchanged prices.
Nails do not improve.
Wool is in good tone on fair business.
Recent London wool sales have had q
favorable effect. Large mills are reported
fairly well stocked. Recent reports Of tho
great slaughter Of sheep to secure profits
on the late advances are discredited by
some trade authorities.

Repairs on the Liquor Law.

The legislature enacted some pret-
ty strong laws which were intended
to strengthen the present stringent
prohibitory law of the state:
The payment of United States
tax as liquor seller is made to be
prined .facie evidnece that the person
holding the license is a common SELL
er, and his premises may be shut up
under the nuisance clause of the law.
The fine for intoxication remains at
five, Ten, and twenty dollars for first,
second, and third offences, with i'm
prisonment for third offence, or i'm
prisonment for either offense, if the
fine is not paid in the first twenty
four hours after conviction. Liquor
sellers may be imprisoned for the first
offense of selling on the discretion of
the court, or his fine may be put as
high as 500, in the discretion of the
court. For a second offense he may
be In d 5000 and must suffer impris-
onment.
To insure a speedy and certain tri-
al in all liquor cases, the new act pro-
vides that Ceases arising under Sec
ton 3847 (meaning all liquor cases)
shall take precedence of other trials
in the courts in which they are pend
ing, except criminal cases, when the
respondents are under arrest, and the
court shall neither direct or permit
the prosecuting officer to order a
nolle prOseQuj against continuance,
at the term when the case is entered,
or at any subsequent term, unless the
purposes of justice clearly require it.
In cases where parties prosecuted
take an appeal, and forfeit their bail
by no appearance at court, the state S
attorney shall procure a bench war
rant and re-arrest the party at once
and bring him before the court, where
he shall be tried. This is intended
to make the trial certain and speedy

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wnshin0tOn. Dec. I'm.

Washington, Dec. I'm.
The Capitol is deserted. To-day
not more than a dozen congressman
were there The watchman, the man
who sells you photographs of General
Harrison that make him look like
sexton, and half a dozen tourists,
have the building to themselves. The
statesmen will not be at work again
until January 2, and nearly all have
gone home. Even Mr.. Reed of
Maine has dared to go home and
leave his speakership fight to take
care of itself. The other candidates,
with more caution, remain on guard.
Christmas is not in any sense the
important event in Washington that
it is in New York. But Washington
remains steadfast to New Year in ev-
erything. 1t is the beginning of its
social season proper and no other day
reaches its Importance. The giving
of presents to general acquaintances
as we'll as to your "dear ones" has
not yet become custom here, and
so Christmas, if deprived of some of
its charms, is no less deprived of its
terrors. In the gay days that follow
the presidents New Year reception.
even Georgetown wakes up, and the
ghosts of it's dead and gone society
stalk through it's streets. On every
| Wednesday each cabinet officers wife
has left her a couple of thousand
cards, and wonders if it can be true
that Mrs. Hamilton Fish was able
to return all the calls make upon her.
The dread of the social season was
probably in the presidents mind when
he wrote to Buffalo friend last week,

the days until March 4, when [ shall

severe enough upon an idle man, and
are sufficient to exhaust busy one.
Washington society is fast following
European fashionable eXcesses, with
out regard to the fact that with all
the millionaires who come here for the
winter, there is, unlike European
Capitals, no absolutely idle class of
men. The nearest approach to an
unoccupied class are the members OF
the foreign legations stationed here,
who do nothing but attend TO sOcie'
tvs demands and do that most sue
cessfully. Tomorrow work has nc
terrors for them.
The tariff debate in the senate is a

A Nefarious Business.

The United States and Canada Tx
press company deserves the condem-
nation of all decent people for It's vlo-
lation Of the law, and the miserable
business it is doing in the carrying of
liquors from Canada, from New
Hampshire, etc., into all this section
of Vermont. It would be practically
easy to stop liquor selling, and much
of the drinking among the lower and
Door classes, if it were not for the
means provided by the Express COM
pany for bringing it into all localities.
There is no excuse on the part OF the
company for the act; they know
very we'll both from the source where
the packages of merchandise, etc.,
are received, and the parties to whom
the LIQUOR is delivered that it is rum
they are carrying. OF course the
company is liable, and every agent
is liable to be prosecuted, but it is no
small matter to tackle an Express
company, and it is often difficult to
get proof.
It is a fact we'll KNOWN to many
that large number of packages of
liquor were brought into this whole
section for holiday drinking purposes,
and many men who do not and can
not decently care for their families,
and who do not pay their honest
debts, were spending money for rum.
There ought to be such a feeling of
indignation against the Express Co.,
and all others engaged in this carry
ing traffic that they would be scared
out of the business, if there is no
other reason why they should quit it.
The new law has some provisions IN
it, we think, that may help in the
prosecution of parties engaged in the
nefarlous business.

The surplus in the treasury, COM
puted on the system of bookkeeping
in vogue in the financial department
of the government was about S52,-

This was the lowest figure touched
since September, 1887. During the
twelve months preceding the surplus
was below the S5O,O0O,OOO mark.
The highest point which it reached
this year was in April, when it was
S11O, 100000. 1t was 100000, 900

at the close of September, S74, ,OOO,-

The big drop in November was due
to the heavy disbursements by the
Government.
