READY TO SELL.
Cherokeas are willing to Dispose Of the
Outlet.

ChorokeNs are willing TO dispose OF the
Outlet.
TAHLEoUAH, I. 7. SH:sacS-S e.
II is no longer question Of doubt that
negotiations will be renewed by the
United States government for Cherokee
surplus lands this coming session Of the
Cherokee council. Senator Butler.
chairman OF the senate committee on
the five civilized tribes, has written
letter to his kinsman, ex-Chief d. w.
Bushy head, and informs him that the
senate committee will visit the Chero-
kee capital some time In November.
during the session OF the council, for the
purpose OF investigating various mat
ters that are likely to figure In the next
congress.
This committee will make no attempt
at negotiations, but simply ascertain
the sentiment OF the Cherokees on land
selling. From the tone OF the senator's
letter one would conclude that the Cher
okee commission will follow the senate
committee. and open negotiations for
sale OF the Cherokee outlet.
II is rumored that Chief Mayes has
also information of the coming commits
sion, but no official announcement has
been made from the executive Office as
vet. Characteristic OF the man, Chief
Mayes says very little in private con-
versation OF his views on the questions
OF national Importance. His most inti-
,nata fyienda and fhoaa associated daily
with him say he favors q sale OF the out
let to the United States at fair price,
and that he will so recommend In his
annual message to the council on the
first Tuesday in November.
A great change has como over the
Cherokees since Green's decision was
rendered against them. They are most
ly respondent. aud - majority OF them
are anxious to sell and pocket the pro-
ceeds.

Farmers In the West In Re-
markably Good.Luck.
Dun q Co. Make still Another Bright
Report CONCERNING Bu~in-ss-
Trade Good in Every Far
ticuizr.

r. c. Dun & Cas- Weekly Review Of
Trrde says:
In the business OF the country no re-
action appears, nor are there signs OF
encouragement. In very many cases
farmers will realize on the wheat grown
this year more than the entire cost OF
their farms. Unreasonable hot weather
has for tho time retarded some trades,
but change is already noticed. II Is
also most encouraging fact that these
favorable conditions have produced as
yet no speculative excitement or craze
such as often prepares the way for q
swift and disastrous reaction. 1t Is for
tunate for the country that apprehen-
sion OF financial difficulty this fall has
powerfully restrained the speculative
tendency.
Boston reports q closer money mar
ket and satisfactory trade. AT Phila-
delphia money is In fair demand, though
there Is complaint In trade as 70 slow
collections. At Baltimore the shoe
trade exceeds last years. At Cleveland
trade in dry goods and clothing has
been retarded by the weather. but other
trade has been good. and at Cincinnati
some Improvement is seen in the shoe
trade.
At Chicago some increase is seen In
receipts OF corn, oats and cheese, an
eighth in cattle, u third in wool, and
wheat receipts are five times and rye
receipts eight times last years, hut de.
crease appears Of u half Ia lard, third
in cured meats, and q fifth in barley.
AT st. Louis trade and manufactures
are active aud money close. At Minne-
apolis and st. Paul business Is good and
money advancing, and ut Kansas City
and Denver Improvement Is seen. Az
all points reporting from the south,
trade Is improving except at Savannah,
where the great strike suspends the
movement OF cotton.
In spite of several more circulars adj
vising farmers 10 hold their wheat, tho
price has declined about cent. Corn
has advanced 2 cents and oats 1t'cents,
and while cotton is unchanged. In price,
pork products have changed but trihe,
and cotton and oil are little lower:
There is more pcrpleXity than usual re-
garding the yield Of cotton, but the
most conservative estimates conclude
that a large decrease in the product 10
probable, making o market for the
heavy stocks which were brought over
from last year.
Sales Of dry goods are large in the ag-
gregate. but in light weights far below
last years, and many looms arc idle for
the present. On the other hand there
Is peculiar increase in the demand for
heavy weights, and IN dress goods sales
are satisfactory, great improvement In
quality being noticed. Cotton goods
are little less active. but print cloths
are firm at three cents, and OF prints
some styles are an eighth or a quarter
higher. Sales OF knit goods are retard-
cd by the weather, and hosiery Is dull.
Sales OF wool at the different markets
are per cent below those OF last year
thus far.

which gradually assumed the appear
ance and proportions Of fortress, rath-
er than q gubernatorial residence. The
city authorities fearing that Don Diego
would seek to intrench himself in his
castle and defy the King OF Spain,
mounted some cannon In fertilization
hastily erected, and warned Don Diego
that he vas subject 70 their commands.
The fortress finally fell TO ruins and
the cannon, one by one, tumbled over
the bank, and now, after lying $50 years
beneath the walls Of ancient Santo Do
mingo, this piece Of rusty ordnance
turns up in Chicago. perhaps 70 send
