A GOOD SHOWING.

Oon's Weekly Review Of the Business situ-
alton Decidedly Encoura ging-An Enor-
nous Wheat Crop-1he Great Industries
Doing Wei.
New YORK, Sept 5.-R. G. Dun &
Co. weekly review OF trade says:
The wheat crop is out of danger and
is enormous-undoubte the largest
ever grown-and moving with unusual
rapidity. The corn crop has been saved
and is very large in most of the surplus
producing states and even within the
range of recent frosts appears to have
been in part beyond injury. The mon
etary situation is also decidedly clearer
and more favorable. Foreign needs ap-
pear less urgent and the danger of sue
cessful resistance to American demands
for gold is diminishing.
The removal of the German prohibi-
tion of American pork imports promises
largely increased demand for impor-
tant products and a considerable addi-
ton to merchandise exports for the
year. Exports from New York in five
weeks exceeded last years nearly 81
per cent, and while imports increased
largely the balance of trade turns de-
cidedly in favor of the United States.
The injury to cotton may also hasten
exports of that product, which foreign
operators knowing the large stocks in
Europe might not have sought early
had the American crop been full
The great industries are doing we'll,
though strikes of Importance are threat
ened in the cotton mills at Fall River
and the window glass works at the west
Distinct improvement is seen in the de-
mand for iron and it's products, though
prices are unchanged, and also in coal,
while minor metals are firm. The trade
in dry goods is fairly large, particularly
in all wool cashmere and dress goods
The reports from other cities express
increased confidence and show some
actual gain in the volume of trade.
Steady improvement is seen in Boston
At Philadelphia improvement is seen
in iron and coal, steady buying of wool
by manufacturers, especially of
worsteds, and fair trade in tobacco and
chemicals, but collections are generally
dull.
At most southern points money is
also easier and at New Orleans in ample
supply for legitimate needs At the
west no complaints of stringency are
noted, though money is firmer at Chi
| cago.
Operations in speculative markets
have been more active and wheat has
declined AZ cents on sales of $4,000, O0C
bushels on account of enormous receipts
| at the west which have been at the rate
of 1850. 900 bushels daily for the week
thus far. Exports for the current
week have been about ten times
those of last year, though the
movement of flour does not correspond
ingly increase.

In 1860, at the age of twenty-four, he
was chosen to the professorship of
Latin and Greek languages in Madison
college, Tennessee. Here he acquired
no small reputation as a linguist; bat
the civil war breaking out the next
year took many of the young men away

it was proposed to all up the depleted

country After careful investigation
he determined to decline this position
and enter the army. Volunteering as

position till 1868, when he became col

| In this high station discretion, energy

on to take any serious interest in party

the tendency of our national legislation
for the past twenty-five years to divide
our citizens into the two classes, mil
lionaires and paupers. He knows, as
all thinking men know, that poverty is
the source and parent of human deprav-
ity, vice and crime.
He heartily indorses the alliance de-
mands and the Cincinnati platform, and
| believes that ballot reform is easier
and better than bloody revolution.

A WAR SCARE.

Great Britain Keeping q Close Watch on
Approaching Complications in Russia and
Turkey-France Will support Russia
Massing Troops on the Austria Frontier.
LONDON, Sept 5.-The semi-official
statement which the porte issued in re-
gard to the agreement with Russia,
touching the passing of the Russian vol
unteer fleet through the Dardanelles is
quickening the British foreign Office in
its efforts to obtain concerted action on
the part of the treaty powers in de-
manding explanations from the porte.
Within two days Lord Salisbury's at
titude appears to have changed from
one of indifference into one of keen
diplomatic activity. From Chateau
Cecil, where he still abides, he has
walked up the officials of the foreign de-
partment here, through whom night
and day cipher dispatches pass in a
stream to and from the European cap
itals.
A high official of the department who
was recently of the opinion that the
Moscowa incident would not affect the
existing relations between Great
Britain and Turkey, now takes a view
that the Russo Turkish agreement will
make necessary an early demonstra-
tion on the part of Great Britain, even
if she has to act alone.
RUSSIAN PREPARATIONS.
LONDON, Sept 5.-A Vienna dispatch
says that the Russian villages near
the Russo-Austrian frontier are
thronged with soldiers The from
tier guards, who used to be merely
gendarmes to prevent smuggling. have
given place to whole regiments per-
manently quartered at every available
point and ready to act as strong ad-
vance guard in pouring into the
Austrian empire in the event of war.
Observations towers are being built
close to the frontier and residents are
also planning the erection of three or
four large forts to form bases for an in
vading army.
The Russians are also constructing
pontoons at Reni that can be used in
crossing the Danube. Some of the pom
toons are ninety-six feet long and eight
cen feet wide and others $50 feet long.
They are forwarded as rapidly as possi-
BILE to the various places where pom
toons might be required.
