The main facts disclosed are: First
marked improvement in the last month
and considerable excess over the
business done a year ago, particularly
in the necessaries of life. But second,
it appears that the volume of trade ut
present is on the whole considerably
less than in normal, year at. most
points, and in the more important
trades is apparently about 20 per cent
smaller than in September, 1892.
The depression in prices of farm
products will have some influence.
Unprecedented records have been
made in cotton and wheat. though as
to wheat only in contracts for future
delivery in which the prices are the
lowest ever made. The available
stocks are about Is. 600. 600 bushels

716 bushels, against 6,191.034 last
years, and since Aug. /, $1,000, 0C0

The Atlantic exports for the week

He was in the labor line, and

This was rarely done in courts, and

MAY SUE HI MAYOR.
Outcome of the Revocation of Gates's
Saloon License.

There is a probability Of the saloon IL
cense question being taken into the courts
in another manner. Some time ago the
Mayor revoked the license OF Shine Bros,
81 South Illinois street. They opened their
place again for business yesterday after
noon. When the license was revoked one
of the Shines said he had not determined
what he would do. as he was leaving the
whole matter to his attorneys. and would
act on their advice. whatever it might be.
He said that IL his attorneys advised sucn
a course he would open his place and make
a sale so as to be arrested for selling with
out a license. He said he would adopt
that course If the liquor league would back
him in it, but that he could not AFFORD to
test the matter himself.
1t is also reported that Joseph Gates
will bring suit against Mayor Denny for
damages. and in that manner test the right
of the Mayor to revoke licenses.
Superintendent Powell yesterday after
noon issued orders to arrest John Walters,
proprietor Of the Midway Plaisance sa-
loon every time a piano was played in the
place. Walters has been arrested and nned
In Police Court for keeping a concert sa-
loon. He claims that the presence or one
piano in his place is not sufficient to make
1t a concert saloon ana refuses to stop
the music.
