REPUBLICAN TRUTHS.
Is This a Republic an Year2

The states OF Illinois and Iowa are
covered with splendid crops. Never
has one seen more wonderful growth
OF vegetation than can now b. found
in these two states. Through tho
eastern and middle states and in Ohio
and Michigan tho hay crop IL we'll

these states has so stuntcd the growth
OF grass that 1t Is doubtful II over ono
third of u crop Is cut. Many fields
will not yield half ton to tho acre,
and largo percentages OF them will
not pay Tor moving at all, In lndi-
ana the hay crop is bottor, and In llli-
nois and Iowa tho yield of hay per
aero will be immense. These two
states have had too much rather than
too little rainfall. Corn also looks
very promising. Oats are In danger
of falling down on account OF tho
great growth of straw, Wheat, bar
Icy and rye have bocn cut, or are being
cut and the crop Is u very fine one.

HARVEST SUMMARY.
Condition OF Various Wheat Crops.

Tho London Times summarizes tho
harvest prospects Of the world rs fol-
lows; In Russia there is grave de-
felt, the peasantry is starving and
there is small hope Of relief IN India
there is serious snXiety; famine pre-
walls over considerable portion OF
the country; Madras Rajputana and
and the Punzale are the worst suffer-
crs. Drought in Bengal, and need OF
rain most urgent. Bombay alone
promises IA good harvest. Americas
harvest will be good in quality and
amount, but with n failure Of Indian
and Russian supplies, the utmost i'm
portancc is that the English crop will
not be short, On the whole the pros
pect Is good In the chief wheat coun-
tries. The Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk
crop is above the average, and In
other countries up to the average.
harvest will be late and prices high
consequently there is n good outlook
for the English to break the long
series OF disastrous years.

SAMOAN SITUATION.
Chief Mataafa Ord cred Before King
MaIIctOa.

Advices from Samoa state that King
Malietoa ordered Chief Mataafa TO
come to Apia. Mataafa refused to obey
the order declaring he feared Malietoa
woulG cause him TO be arrested.
Crowds OF malconten,s gathered
around Mataafa and it was feared they
contemplated raid on the Apia. OH
GERS therefore took vigorous steps to
prevent such raid. The German
gunboat Spurger assisted in maintain
ing order. The United States, British
and German consuls have issued a
proclamation sustaining King Malie-
toa. The uneasiness which prevailed
was thereupon relieved, and at last adj
vices Mataafa's followers were paying
the taxes due TO King Malietoa.

New YORK, Oct. 23.-There was little

The Bank All Right.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 23.-Everything
is quiet at the Louisiana national bank this
morning and up to noon no arrests have
been made, and there is little likelihood
that there will be any. In an interview
with j. {. Norris, president of the clearing
house, this morning in regard to Cashier
Eugene Garcia's defalcations. he said ::
Eugene +. Garcia, the paying teller of
the Louisiana national bank. is a defaulter
in the sum of sl90,000. 1t was first discov-
cred on the Sth of October.
''The full extent of the defalcation was de-
monstrated on the Eth. Some packages
had been paid out purporting to contain
5000 and Sl0, 900. while they only contained
$500 and $1,000. Complaint to this eject was
shortage of the packages. Mr.. Garcia con-
fessed that the shortage was from over
payments, errors and mistakes committed
by him within the last fifteen years. The
cash in the bank was examined and the
shortage discovered. The loss of this large
amount has been carried to profit and loss,
and still the capital of $780, and the sur
plus of sl50.000 remains intact
do you think that any deposits will be
withdrawn from the bank on account of
this defalcationl'
Il do not. If anything of that kind
should occur, l am authorized. as president
of the clearinghouse, to state that every
dollar will be furnished by the clearing
house banks. The present condition of the
bank is an exceedingly strong one, and IL is
able TO meet any requirement from its de-
positors, as will be seen by the statement
published by the bank

The American Association.

CHICAGO. Ill, Oct. 23-Although the
American association completed its labors
for the present at the Wellington hotel to-
day, the most important question, as TO
what cities will constitute next years Cir
cult, still remains undecided. A committee
consisting of Barnie, Schmeltz and Won
Der Abe was appointed with power TO
investigate the feasibility of ten or twelve
club circuit This committee will make its
report in about ten days at the call of Chair
man Barnie. Whether the circuit will con-
sist of twelve cities is a matter of much
conjecture, but there is little doubt
that an eight-club organization is what the
association wants. There is possibility of
the season being begun with ten or twelve
clubs, and the weaker ones dropping out as
the season progresses. No one was
given a showdown to-day, however,
both Columbus aud Milwaukee VINO
were represented as among the uncertain
ones We're given places on important COM
mitteeS, while Louisville, another doubtful
city, produces the associations chief

falo, Kansas City and Minneapolis.
If twelve-club circuit is re-
solved upon it ls said the first two

DUN'S REPORT.
The Balance of Trade Largely
in Our Favor.

Trade Better than Last Week, Showing

weekly review of trade says: General
business is remarkably active and increas-
ing in volume at the West, improving at the
South and distinctly less dull than it was a
week ago at Eastern cities. Collections are
improving in nearly all directions. as a lib
eral movement of crops enables
farmers to settle their accounts and
to make purchases for the coming
season. The money markets are not now
stringent, at nearly all important points be-
ing quiet and easy, though with noticea-
BILE improvement in the demand. These
plainly promise good for the fall and winter
unless disturbances which cannot now be
foreseen interrupt. The reports from
Southern ana Western cities are, on the
whole more favorable.
At Omaha and Kansas City business is
satisfactory, grain and cattle receipts being
above the average and trade in agricultural
implements active.
At st. Louis trade shows encouraging
strength, grain coming in faster, and Ut
Memphis business is very fair At New
Orleans better feeling is seen, with large
receipts of cotton and fair receipts of rice
and sugar, and money in active demand. At
Savannah trade holds well, cotton receipts
showing $4,000 bales in one day, and at
Jacksonville trade is steady with bright
prospects.
Wheat has fallen 4s4c with receipts at
the West of 50O,0 bushels in four days,
and exports of ,250.00O bushels.
Corn is scarce and 31Sc higher for spot,
and oats l$4c higher.
Cotton receipts even Surpass those of the
same week last year by $1,000, bales, and
the price falls 1-l6c with sales OF 9I4,000
bales here.
Coffee is an eighth lower. Oil, / cent

have fallen 30 cents per hunu ed pounds
with no change in pork Sugar, both raw
and granuated, is somewhat lower with
quite an active market.
In general the speculative movement ap-
pears to tend toward lower prices for pro-
ducts. supplies being unusually large.
The iron industry looks stronger. Bar.
plate and structural mills are fairly en-
ployed, but prices are low.
Boot and shoe manufactures show signs
of more active demand, and shipments are
close to last year.
Wool manufactures show more demand
for dress goods, and stocks of these are
relatively low. while for mems spring goods

Merchandise exports for the past two
