 NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Bradstreet's to-day says:
 All the features of improvement in general .rade reported week ago are retained, and rom number of the more important business centers still further gains are reported. Com mercial travellers from Baltimore are making tnelr second trip to the south, and regard the business prospects as exceptionally bright.
 At various northwestern centers colder weather has stimulated the sales in dry goods, clothing and shoes. Woolen goods are not sold as actively as in previous weeks. Jobbers are not carrying supplies beyond what the pub Nc are likely to take before January l. En- enlargement is gained from improved demands TOT money at Savannah, Augusta and New Orleans, due to the increasing receipts of cotton and demands for ad- VahceS on the crop At Chicago money Is also more active, and some bankers nave withdrawn from the agreement to pay only l1S per cent. on balances of country banks, and will pay per cent The southern pig iron market may be gauged by sales at Nashville, thus far this month equal to total sales during august. Inquiries arc received from the north Tor heavy blocks of pig iron. Demand for pig iron is also marked at Chicago, but has de- creased at Pittsburgh and St Louis.
 The check in purchases of wool after heavy buying tends to weaken prices and cotton re- acted l-l6 cents after it's marked advance. Pig Iron Is 2S cents a ton lower and hardware and dry goods jobbers at western centers re- port increased sales, due to lower quotations. Live stock at Kansas City and at Omaha have weakened on heavy receipts of oommoner grades, all of which comprise the chief de- crease in price of staples. They are offset by hrmer markets and advances for leather, pe- troleum and sugar, for print cloths, due to dressing stocks, and cotton goods, owing to the strike of operatives. Wheat is up | cent; corn, IA cents; oats, Is cents; pork, E cent; lard, b of cent and coffee Jl of q cent

The Famous Congressman from the Ash-
 land District Beaten by Owens.
 LEXINGTON, Ky, Sept 17.-The pub lie career of W. c. P. Breckinridge has closed. The vindication which he sought at the polls in his own district has been refused him, but his contest was so fierce that his successful opponent, w. c. Owens, won by only 270 majority in vote of over 1S,0O0. It is interest ing to note that here in Breckinridge' own home the rebuke admin istered has been more over whelming than any other section of his district. It is true that he carried the city of Lexington and county of Fayette, but it was by ma jority of only 13S where he had conti- dently expected 1000. The result can be compressed into statement of the returns from each county, which is as follows:
 For Owens-Oldham, 164; Scott, 1,194; Franklin, 52s; Woodford, 123. Total, 2,00O.
 For Breckinridge-Fayette, 2O4; Hen- ry, 459; Bourbon, 152; Owen, 9l4. To tai, 1,729.

 serve Slowly Increasing.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The net cash in the treasury at the close of business yesterday was S127 162, Al, of which s5G, ,04s, ,524 represented the gold reserve. The gold reserve has been steadily climbing upward for the past month. On August it reached it's lowest point in the record of the department, $52,. 1S0,5O0. Since that date it has in. creased almost S5,COO,0OO and the in crease has largely allayed the fears ot the treasury officials. During the past week it has increased over S1,1OO,0O0. This increase is accounted for by the surrender of gold voluntarily by the banks and its exchange for small notes During the past week s216, COG have been so exchanged. The balance of the increase Is due to the purchase of bullion at Helena, Denver and Char lotte, N. c. The large increase in the output of gold in Colorado and Mon tana piles up the gold reserve, as it finds its way directly to the assay offices of the government

 Corea and Japan.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-A telegram was received at the Japanese legation yesterday morning to the effect that an important treaty had been nego- tiated between Corea and Japan which authoritatively defines the relations of the two countries toward each other and toward China. The object of the treaty is stated in the preamble to be the mutual desire on the part of the emperor of Japan and the king of Corea to definitely fix and determine the atti- tude of each country toward the other with view to clearly elucidating the existing relations between Japan and Corea which have been created by the request which the Corean government has made to the Japanese government to compel the Chinese to evacuate Corea. To secure concerted action for the more effective accomplishment of this object the treaty of alliance be- tween the two countries was signed at Seoul on August 26 by MT. Otori, the envoy of Japan, and the Corean minis ter of foreign affairs.
 The treaty consists of three articles Article defines the object of the al- liance to be the strengthening and per petuating of the independence of Corea as an autonomous state, and the pro- motion of the mutual interests of Ja- pan and Corea by compelling the Chi nese forces to withdraw from Corea and by obliging China to abandon her claim of the right to dominate the af- fairs of this country.
 Article binds the Japanese govern ment to carry on warlike operations against China, both offensive and de- fensive; the Corean government is bound by the article to afford the Japanese forces every possible facility in their movements and to furnish them with supplies of provisions at a fair remuneration, so far as the sup plies may be needed.
 By article it is provided that the treaty shall terminate so soon as q treaty of peace shall have been con- cluded by Japan with China.
