demands for gold 10 diminishing.
The removal OF German prohibition Of
American pork imports promises to LARGELY
increase the demand for that important pro-
duct and make q considerable addition to the
merchandise exports for the yeer.
The exports from New York IN five weeks
exceed last years by nearly 81 yer cent, and
white the imports have also increased largely,
the balance of trade turns decidedly in favor
of tho United States.
The injury to cotton may also hasten ex-

might not have bought early had the Ameri-
can stock been full.
At Chicago the wheat receipts are four
times last years; rye, nine times; corn ana
dressed beef double, and oats show an in
crease; while some decrease Is noted in -four;

The sales of dry goods exceed last years,
which wore phenomenally large, and in cloth

At st. LOUIS the distribution exceeds last
years, and orders are free. At Kansas City
trade is fairly healthy. At Minneapolis the
iobbing trade is fairly good, wheat receipts
being double last years and lumber 10 ad-

and at st. Paul trade steadily increases with
the assurance of unprecedented crops.

by the new German decree.
In stocks there has been q remarkable adj

The great industries are doing well, though
strikes of importance are threatened in the
cotton mills at Fall River and the window

Railroad Determinations.
TOPEKA, September Friday p. m. and
evening, and all day Saturday the Kansas
railroad commissioners were in session in
the senate chamber hearing the case Of Kan
sas wholesale grocers against the railroads
of the state.
The grocers were represented BY Judge
Humphrey, of Junction City. a former NOM
Der of the commission. The railroads were
represented by Messrs. Lowe, Kelso, Hurd
and Lincoln.
The following gentlemen were present a.
complaining merchants and to give testi-
mony:
j. s. George, OF the Hutchinson Wholesale
Grocery company; b. d. Lee, of the Mer-
camille company of Salina; g. E. Lehman,
OF the Lehman Higginson Grocery company
of Wichita; A. Hess and w. s. Corbett, Of tho
Wichita Wholesale Grocery company; s. F.
Alton, OF Ranney, Alton & Co., Arkansas
City, and T. h. Griffith, merchant of Wich-
tia. There were also in attendance j. E.
terests, and Mr.. johnson, of johnson Il Lar
imle, dry goods house in Wichita.
The evidence showed that the combined
rate on sugar from San Francisco to Kansas
City and back to Hutchinson is $1.M per
hundred ana that it is divided into IS cents
to Kansas City and &c cents back to Hutchin-
son. The New York rate to Kansas City il
4S cents and to Hutchinson a cents. The
rate from New Orleans to Missouri river
points is 30 cents and to Hutchinson 60 cents.
A compilation of tables shows that in nearly
every case the sugar rate from Kansas City
to points west and east of Hutchinson ID
lower in broken lots than from Kansas City
to Hutchinson IN car load lots, and then in
broken lots to the points named.

Campbell versus Mckinley.

COLUMBUS, O., September 4.-Great inter
est is manifested by the leaders of both par
ties in the coming debate between Major
Mckinley and Governor Campbell. The re-
publicans are inclined to believe that the
offer of Mr.. Campbell is only bluff. It il
amusing how people talk about the possible
or prejudice. That one will wipe up the
earth with the other, in common parlance, II
the universal verdict, whether it be democrat
or republican who speaks.
McKinley's friends have great faith in bis
ability, but Campbell's supporters have an
unwayering confidence in their man: Inc
republicans say that Campbell is bright,
cunning fellow, but no match on the same
platform with the heavy weight tariff cham
pion. According to republican opinions the
governor is good at any time for q clever,
snappy talk of fifteen minutes in length, but
after that his efforts become labored.
Certainly on the tariff question Mckinley
life study, and he is familiar with every oe-
tail of the subject. He ls also well posted on
the financial issue.
Most of the party managers fingered
around the Neil house. A. w. Thurman is
probably the most enthusiastic democrat in
bibes it daily from his illustrious father.
Swat till Campbell gets at Mckinley"
said he, ''the major will not know where he
is standing. The governor is one of the
most original men I ever met. His mind
works like chain lightning. Always cool and
self possessed. he can go to the bottom of
an ordinary subject in twinkling. He is
quick in device and repartee. Did you ever
see Campbell on the stump? He is like q
whirlwind. He never repeats the same
speech. but day after day he has something
newton the people. When Campbell enters
the lists you newspaper men will have some
leaders talked.
Well." said Major Mckinley, ssif Gov
ernor Campbell and I don't meet in joint
debate at Ada it won't be my fault. think
the governor will be there and that he means
business. l suppose such a meeting will
or9w great crowd of people,"
-, incidentally the major remarked that he
nked his work In congress, but republican
10 the next house will be wasting time. If
the legislature is republican this fall, the
state will be redistricted, and McKinley's old
oalhwlck will be restored, with view to re-
cunning him to congress as a rebuke to the
democrats for turning him out. Until some
constitutional provision is made in Ohio q
Ser1es OF ge.rymanders can be expected in

A baking powder that can be depended
upon to be free from lime and alum is a
d~esideratum in these days OF adulterated
food. So far as can be judged from the
official reports, the "Royal' seems to be the
only one vet found by chemical analyses
to be entirely without one or the other of

This, it is shown, results from the exclu-
sive use by its manufacturers of cream OF

patent processes which totally remove the
tartrate of lime and other impurities. The
cost of this chemically pure cream of tar

it is used in no baking powder except the

troll the patents under which it is refined.
