pap" is given by the st. Louis Republic
in its issue of July 3. Among the al
legged trusts is one to control the produc-
tion Of cotton. Cotton is on the FREQ
list, and a cotton trust is just about rs
impossible as a combination among tho
bakers Of bread. This is an item such
as one might expect from The Republic.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Business Prospects Clearly Better
Than Last Year.
WHEAT AND CORN LOWER IN PRICE

Fears That Exports May Be De
creased Has Depressed the Mar

Been Woolen Mills Run
ming Night and Day.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-R g. Dun g.
Co.'S weekly review of trade says
While industry and business were i'm
proving daily and prospects were
brighter than ever, the sudden alarm
about cholera came to cause some hes
itation. 1t is even said that buyers
from the south who had started for this
city turned back because they were
afraid of detention by quarantine here.
which implies paucity of sense on their
part. In all other respects business
prospects are clearly better than a year
ago, and nearly all accounts show
actual increase in business. Crop pros
poets are better. Money is in greater
demand, with ample supply everywhere,
and industries are producing more than
ever before.
Fear that exports may be curtailed by
pestilence in Europe has depressed the
markets. Wheat has dropped to 79t,
the lowest point since 1888, and recov.
cred only to q fall of cents for the
week. Corn has dropped 81 cents for
the week, with better western reports.
Cotton rose shade, but has fallen to
II cents again, with sales of 666, 900
bales. Oats have declined IL cents,
pork 90 cents per barrel, lard 81 cents
and hogs 30 cents per 100 pounds, and
oils tive-eighth lower The greater part
of these changes came from the un-
natural condition of the markets, for
some time held up in spite of extraor-
binary stocks in sight.
Less Exports Than Last Year.
Stocks of cotton on hand in this coun-
try equal two months consumption, and
In Europe about three months consump-
tion of American, while current esti-
mates of the coming crop are constantly
rising. 1t has been evident that Europe
will take less of our products this year
than last, but pestilence there will not
greatly diminish the need of food or
clothing.
Manufactures in this country have
never been in better condition on the
whole than that which reports now in
dictate, All textile branches are pro.
terial than ever, and the demand has
rarely pressed SO closely on the the
supply. Most wooden mills are running
night and day to meet orders, and cot.
ton mills are crowded, while stocks of
goods in sight are phenomenally low.
The iron and steel industry rapidly re.
sumes full production. though some
mills are yet delayed by repairs. De-
mand for pig is very good, while mills
are pushed for bar, plates, sheets and
structural iron.
The treasury has paid out 81 SOC, 900
more currency during the week, while
adding 81 100000 gold and $500, 600 sill.

August show an increase of 20 per cent.
and of internal revenue IL per cent.
cold engagements for Europe today are
over 81 500, 900, but supplies of money
throughout the country are ample and
western demands likely to be smaller
than usual.

Prehistoric Giants.


Near the Mediterranean coast, not far
from Nice, are some grottoes which are
remarkable for the prehistoric remains
found in them. The value OF these
grottoes as a field of prehistoric research
was recognized twenty years ago. They
were at that time purchased by Mr..
Emile Riviere, who, however. neglected
to work them, and sold them again to q
quarry master, who, on removing some
Of the rock, unearthed some of the re-
mains. Since then the grottoes have
been in litigation much Of the time and
no one has been able properly to investi-
gate them.
AT present three skeletons found there
are figuring in the law courts One is
Of man whose estimated height Ii
feet 0 inches. The head of the skeleton
is missing. Another is the skeleton of q
woman 8 feet inches tall, and the third
Is the remains of a youth. These added
to previous discoveries make seven shel-
etons OF prehistoric men unearthed up
to the present time in these caves The
Italian government has not attempted
to exercise any rights in the matter.
Up to 1875 Mr.. Riviere had discovered
the skeletons Of one man and two chill
dren, which were some twenty-nine feet
below the level of the caves and were
surrounded by undoubted paleolithic
implements. The bed Is q compact one
of limestone. Chicago News.

Favor Parochial schools.

j INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. S1.-The trien-
nial synod Of the German Evangelical
church continued its session during the
day. The parochial school question was
o leading one and the debate was warm
after the report OF the committee was
heard. The committee was of the opin-
ion that the prosperity Of the German
church in America depended on the con-
tinuance of the organization OF the Ger
man parochial school. The motion that
the congregations establish such schools
generally was not carried, however. It
was modified by the motion that ''chil-
'dren shall receive religious instruction
and that parochial schools be erected
wherever circumstances viii permit.

DECLARATION or WAR.
Mr.. Hfn's wItharawal from the Trans-

1Tr. HfII's wIfharawnl from the Trans-
continental Association So Regarded.
ST. PAUL, .Aug. 3l.--The chief topic
of interest in railroad circles just now is
the withdrawal OF the Great Northern
from the Transcontinantal association
and the possible results to which 1t may
lead. At the Northern Pacific offices
no official expression Of opinion could
be obtained, but it was clear that the
impression prevailed that the action of
the Great Northern was equivalent to q
declaration Of war. Said one of the
officials:
If Mr.. Hill wants to create disturb
ance in rates in the West and is eager to
pit himself against the transcontinental
lines he win find his hands full. If the
Canadian Pacific and Atchison should
enter the lists with the Great Northern
there will be considerable fur flying
around this region before a twelve
month has passed, and unless am very
much mistaken the Great Northern will
not be in it, OF course the other trans
continental roads could make it hot for
Hills system too, but they are not likely
to resort to extremes as rapidly as the
Atchison and Canadian Pacific. Itseems
to me that the withdrawal of the Great
Northern is to be regarded as chal-
lenge, and that it means determine
tion on the part of that road to see what
1t can do. OF course the competing
roads will follow any reduction that the
Great Northern may make, and it will
be simply question which road can
hold out longest
In other quarters the opinion was ex-
pressed that Mr.. Hill merely desired to
shake himself free from the shackles OF
the Transcontinental association. and
was not actuated by any hostile motive.
AT the Great Northern offices no
further light opnld be obtained On the
situation.
At the Milwaukee offices 1t was
learned that the action of the Great
Northern was looked upon as portend,
ing serious trouble.
