and shoes exceeds last years, with good COL
lections. Receipts of other grains, cured
meats, dressed beef and lard fall behind last
year, and crop reports are very favorable,
all indications pointing to large trade in
the future.
At ST. Louis the trade in wool, grain,
produce and live stock is good, but lumber
and the building trades are dull. The out
look for fall trade is very encouraging.
Milwaukee reports some sensation caused by
the failure of the largest grain commission
house.
Business in the Northwest
AT Minneapolis trade is good for the
season, the flour output being 140, 900 bar
rels. AT st. Paul, Omaha and Kansas City
crop prospects improve trade, and at Dem
yer business is fair. Some increase is
noted at Louisville, but at other Southern
points dullness prevails, and at New Or
leans, though slight Improvement is seen,
the tactics of traders are extremely con-
servative.
The midsummer closing Of iron works
almost suspends trade in that line, but
while the best brands of pig are we'll taken,
others are hard to sell, and Alabama
has been offered at SIG. No activity is
noted in rails, and not much in manufac-
tured iron, and it is thought that early re-
sumption by the works will cause decline
in prices. The anthracite coal trade is dull,
the average price for June at the Schuylkill
mines being 81 o per ton, against 81 "A
last year.
Wool moves slowly at New York, buyers
taking only for actual needs In woolen
goods some Improvement in orders is OBJ
served, and greater feeling of security for
the future. The trade in fannels is strong
and healthy, and in knit goods very salts
factory.
Trade in Sundry Commodities.
Agricultural implements are in extraordi-
nary demand, and the makers are buying
iron largely. India rubber has rapidly de-
clined, consumers refusing to buy from the
syndicate, which is carrying an immense
stock, and it is thought the new supplies
coming in October viii prove too heavy for
it. The building trade is, on the whole,
less active than a year ago, though at Chi
cago an increase of per cent is noted.
At Chicago and other Northern points
generally the supply of money is ample,
though at the West there is more demand
than heretofore. At Southern points the
markets arc close, as a rule, though only
firm and in fair supply at New Orleans.

This is the story of the child's sufferings
and cure as told by her parents:
ever since her babyhood she was troubled
with earache and headache She was always
: complaining and never had a well day. Her
nostrils would clog up with tough, tenacious
. mucous that she would almost suffocate
for want of breath during sleep at night.
She complained of pains in her chest and
limbs, and her throat was sore nearly all the
time. She grew feeble and thin till at last we
had almost given up hope of her ever being a
healthy child. Since taking DR.. Byers' treat
ment her recovery has been both rapid and
wonderful. Her troubles have all disap-
peared and those who now notice her bright
eyes and rosy cheeks would scarcely recog-
nize in her the same frail, pallid child of six
months ago."
Another Remarkable Cure.
Another case is that of young lady of
West Newton, Pa, who was so reduced that
DR.. Byers hesitated to assume the response
bility of her case. She gained II pounds the
first Is days under his home treatment. He
has not asked the privilege to publish the
name of this patient, but it can be verified
on application at his office.

OKLAHOMA.

Considerable unrest has been stirred
up here among the colored people dur
ing the past two weeks in regard to
bettering their condition by emigrat-
ing to Oklahoma. Before you go
supply yourself with sufficient
quantity of provisions and money to
support yourself for at least one year.
Do you hear it? Now as to poor peo-
pie buying town lots in Langston City,
Oklahoma, or in any other city, we
would Recommend just the opposite.
The buying of homes outside of the
cities on farms, is what the poor man
should do and especially the poor col
ored man. Certainly the entire race
should not go on farms, but there are
lots of people that are living (starving)
in cities that would be far more pros
porous if they were tilling the soil.
We need more of the producing ele-
ment and less of the consuming ele-
ment. The man that buys farm is
like the man that deposits so much
money in the bank at interest while
the man that buys town lot is like
the man that makes loan of the bank

There is more talk about the hand

at Valparaiso by band of equally
tough Chilians than there is about the
hundreds of innocent, docile and sober
American Negroes that are being mob

and in many cases, their own flesh and

Negro thinks about and curses about.
What race has ever stood as much

coroRrn METHODIsTs UNITE.

Rishop Wayman of the African
Methodist Episcopal church announced
in the great Methodist council that the
African Methodist Episcopal Zion
church and the Colored Methodist
Episcopal church had decided in favor
of organic union. The religion of the
colored folks of the United States may
be said to be their own affair. they
have their own organizations and their
own methods, they worship apart, and
comparatively few white people, even
among the religious, really know much
Of the power, extent and nature of the
colored churches. 1t will be news to
many people that there are three differ
ent Methodist churches among the col
ored people; yet these three by no
means cover the colored church
membership. There is a powerful
Baptist membership; there are black
Presbyterians, and theological sem
mary in North Carolina was recently
captured by them and colored profess
org installed all around; there are col
ored Episcopalians there are colored
Catholics in great force i'll Maryland
and Louisiana and a considerable
number in Missouri, though one dark
priest represents the entire race In the
United States. The work never ceases

The hoped for union as announced
