A BOOM FOR THE BULLS.
DUN FINDS EVERYTHING WITH AN
UPWARD TENDENCY.

The Eot Weather at the West Worth
Millions of Dollars to the Corn
Growers Eastern Money Lenders
VIII be Flooded by Payments on
Farm Mortgagea.
NEW York, Sept. 1s.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: "The hot
weather at the west is worth to the country
many million dollars every day. Each clear
and cloudless day places millions of bushels
of corn beyond the possibility Of harm from
frost, and a great part of the anticipated
crop is already safe. Large crops mean
that the farmers will be enabled
to purchase more fresly Of the products Of
other'industries and will pay this fall vast
amount OF indebtedness. In the four months
ending Sept. l about 26JS per cent. of tho
mortgage debts on the farms in Kansas, or
a.out SIC, ,00O, 900. had been paid. Several
hundred millions will thus be returned to
the lenders, who will powerfully affect all
markets by their efforts to find new use for
their money.
GOLD COMING FROM EUROPE.
Meanwhile gold is also coming from
Europe, and though foreign banking insti-
tutions are doing what they can in self
defense to restrain the movement, they fail
TO prevent active buying OF American saou-
rites by foreign investors. With money
coming for stocks and bonds as well as for
wheat and cotton, and with iquida-
tion of the farming Indebtedness, the
prospects for business this fall are unusually
bright Actual Improvement is seen in
nearly all the cities this week. At Phila-
delpha business is more active and the iron

COLLECTIONS" IMPROVING.
at is especially noteworthy that colleo-
tions are improving at most points, and
that the money markets are, on the whole,
comparatively eesy1 although the crops to
be moved are enormous, and the actual
movement Unprecedented. 1t is a sur-
prising fact that, Notwithstanding the out
put OF pig iron is almost equal to the
largest ever known, the price grows mora
steadily stiff, and "a decidedly better tone
is observed In all the important markets.
This has been noticed for month or more,
as a sure indication of very large and
healthy consumption Of iron, but during
the past week there have also been rumors
of q warlike tone from Europe, which have
affected the iron markets Of the United
States.
RAILROADS BETTER OFF.
"A more obvious cause of improvement
| In that stocks and bonds are stronger, and
consequently the railroads have more money
for the purchase of rails and there is bet
ter prospect for the building Of new rail-
! roads and for extensions.
"Woolen manufacture is doing remarka-
bly, we'll, particularly IN worsteds and dress
goods, and the demand for dress goods,
notably, exceeds the present supply.
'Print cloths have advanced q little, and
it is believed that this has been the largest
season ever known in prints.
"The business failures occurring through
out the country during the past seven days
number 2l0."

Boys in Glass Works Show an In

MILLvILLE. N. J. Sept. 1S.-The tending
boys at the Glssstown and South Millville
glass works Of Whitall, Tatum g. Co., over
600 in number, refused to go to work to-day
because some fourteen Jew boys from Rus
sian settlements, near the oity had been
given employment. The firm. 1t j. said,
preferred American boys to the Jews, but
not obtain them The strike caused a sus-
pension on the part of the blowers
aud other skilled workmen, as
they cannot work without the
help Of the boys. and consequently hun
dreds are idle. The strikers held meeting
this afternoon, hundreds of boys crowdink
the Metropolitan rink. Having struck be-
cause OF the Jews, they concluded that
while they were out they might as well ask
for an advance in wages, SO a committee
was appointed to go to the
firm and demand 10 per cent.
increase all around, and all the Jews en-
ployed at the works to be discharged. The
firm received the committee, but after
lengthy conference refused to grant their
demand. The boys are equally firm.

crime on the gallows here to-day. The drop
fell at II :26 o'clock this morning and he was
pronounced dead at 1;3O O'Clock. His vio-
Tins were the Williamson family, of four
persons, of San Saba county, Texas. The
motive for the murder has never been
clearly established. After Duncan's law
Yers had exhausted every possible meaus
known to the profession to save his neck, an
attack was made on the integrity Of the

THE POINT RAISED.
"The point made was tina. the code was
Intellectual on account of the alleged infor-
malities IN its adop ion by tae legislature.
II thie point had been judicially established
the effect would have been TO release not
only Duncan but every criminal in Texas
prisons and create confusion in the social
fabric. The point was defeated in the
United States supreme court, and nothing
but executive clemency between
Duncan and the gallows remained.
That was Invoked with all
the arguments that could be brought to
bear. Duncan was TO be hanged Sept. 4. A
few days before Gov. Hogg granted re-
prieve until Sept. 16. The citizens OF Eagle
Pass, where Duncan has been incarcerated,
