AN IMPR oVED

r. G. Dun & Co. 8 weekly trade review,
taken as a whole, is somewhat more salts
factory than usual for the West. 1t says:
Business throughout the West and
South Is strong and improving. At East
eru centers there is less satisfaction, and
the expected results from the harvesting
of the large crops are more slowly real
lied. Yet the volume of all trade is as
large as it ever has been, and for October
may even surpass the unprecedented
record Of last year. The prevailing conf
dence in the future of business continues
undated aud is seen even in some
branches which complain most OF dull
trade at present. The iron industry illus.
trates the contradictory conditions. The
output of furnaces in blast Oct. |
was lSl,6l5 o n weekly, yet this
enormous production is marvellously alb
sorbed. The demand for use in producing
all kinds OF farm machinery and imple-
ments is far greater han it has been in
any previous year and the quantity Of
iron thus used is enormous. On the
other hand the wool manufacture is short
of orders in the men s. wear department,
though clothIers are buying freely, But
on the whole clothiers have not taken
nearly their usual supply of goods. and
many of the mills are closing. The de-
maud for dress goods is strong, while
knit goods are dull, as well as carpets.
Cotton manufacture is active without
change in prices. The demand for cop.
per is large, but a rumor of resumption
Of the Anaconda put down the price of
lake to $l2 Is, and tin is weak at 81. / per
cent With lead $3.50 The market for
anthracite coal is better, but circular
prices are not realized.

DENVER NEwsBoYs.
On n Strike--How a Watermelon Ban
quet Proved a Financial Success.

A good story Of how newsboys some
times do business comes by the under
ground wire from Denver. The Times
runs notices on the upper right and lett
hand corners of its first page. On the
18th the conspicuous corners read, "Only
10 Cents a Week Delivered In the City,
The newsboys pay two and a half cents
COPY for the paper. or fifteen cents a week.
They at once organized a strike and de.
clared that not a paper would be sold
while a notice of the cut to ten cents a
week remained on the first page. The
strike lasted from 2;30 o'clock p. IN. until
$50, when the management rave in and
the remainder of that DAYS edition was
run off with the corners blank. The no.
tice has not since appeared so conspicu-
ously.
Recently the newsboys got very liberal
and treated the pressmen and mailing
clerks Of Denver paper to watermelons.
While the banquet was going on in the
front part of the press room 1000 papers
were stolen from the rear.

CRITICAL

ChaunceY Depew was asked a few days
ago with reference to the after dinner
audiences and said unhesitatingly that a
New York audience was beyond compare
son the hardest to talk 10. There is
nothing like such an audience" he said,
ION the face OF the United States. Take
one of our big dinners at which 200
distinguished men sit down. and you
have as able and as critical an audience as
you will find in the world. Some people
sneer at them as a collection of do-noth-
ing millionaires. They do not under
stand the men they speak Of. Ninety five
per cent of the guests at such a dinner Is
composed of self-made men. They have
come to New York from all parts of the
United States because they have grown
too big for their surroundings elsewhere
and have needed a larger field.
New York city is made up of that sort
OF men, and these are the successful men
OF New York. Do you know what that
means? Well, out Of every 100 business
men in New York ninety eight fail. New
York takes the cream OF the whole coun-
try, and these men are the cream of New
York. They are well read men and they
are mon of brains. They are men to
whom time is money, and who appreciate
it. They feel that they can't afford to
waste a minute, and if your speech drifts
into prosiness or is loaded with chest
nuts their watches come out and the
eyes Of every man call time They
want new ideas. and unless you can give
them they don't want you.
The same speech which will be an.
plauded in a country town, where the
diners come in on the broad grin and ex.
pect to be pleased. will fall fat in New
York, and the most OF our so called sill
ver-tongued orators fail when they speal
at one of our big dinners. The dinner
itself, to a New York diner-out. amoutl
to nothing. The men at the table hav,
not come to eat. They are used to gooc
dinners aud many of them have bette
diners on their W tables than you vii
get at any club dinner. They have com,
for the feast OF reason and the flow o
soul, and they are not happy unless the
get it"

wYomNG's STOCK INTER Esrs.
Considered In a Special Government
Bulletin.

Wyoming as a whole is a mining and
grazing region. The forage is principally
buffalo grass on the hills and plains and
shrubbery on the mountains and in the
valleys. There are also limited tracts OF
land grown up with blue grass and red
top, which afford a supply of hay so re-
markable for its great weight and nutri-
tive properties that no other food is re-
quired to fatten a domestic animal.
This hay sells readily upon the ranches
at SIS per ton. Buffalo grass is very nu-
tritIous and produces the latest of beef
and mutton. 1t is asserted that a Texas
bred full-grown bullock in one year will In-
crease in weight 400 pounds when put on
Wyoming ranges The years 1888 and
1889 were below the average in point o!
moisture. producing a corresponding
scarcity of grass, and large numbers of
cattle from Colorado and other southern
points were driven into Wyoming, seri-
ously threatening to overstock the ranges
and consequently to reduce the weight
and fine condition Of mature stock. Prior
to this time the average gross weight of
mature Wyoming steers was 1850
pounds. As a result of overcrowdiug
large numbers of cattle have been moved
to Montana and other states during 1890.
Wool growing and mutton producing
are the most prosperous branches of the
live stock industry on the ranges of Wyo-
ming. and have contributed to limit and
%injure the cattle industry, which cannot
compete with the former in holding a
given range, for cattle will not feed where
sheep have grazed. The focks are Of
high grade Merino and Southdown, and
an average fleece of rs pounds is claimed.
The mutton Of Wyoming ranks high in
Eastern markets, to which thousands o.
sheep are forwarded annually. The
ranges of Albany. Carbon and Laramie
counties are to a great extent fenced into
large pastures, and the stock in those
counties is of excellent grade, having been
greatly improved by the use of superior
breeds Of cattle and horses. Considerable
attention is given to breeding draught
horses as well as horses for speed, the
latter being shipped to Eastern markets.
1t is claimed that the climate and high
altitude secure greater powers of endur.
ance and greater ~''toughness" in the
horse than can be secured in lower alti-
fu,Ias-
