Purchases Are small.

NEW YORK Oct Or q. Dun & Co.'S weekly
review Of trade will say tomorrow: With the
chief crops of the West and South sinking in
value it is not strange that purchases of manufac
tured products are smaller than was expected
Wheat has touched the lowest point ever known
for options and the accumulation OF stocks is dis
couragng to purchasers for an advance. Holders
compel ed to sell at prices below tho ordinary
cost OF raising crops and in some Western States
there is also Iamentable failure OF the corn
crop. Under the circumstances IL would be
strange If the demand tor manufactured products
should be quite as large as III other years
Wheat suffers most from accumulation OF stocks
in ght, which are far beyond what is usual ex-
pected Tor the season, and the exports IN Septem
Der were usually small. For the first week OF Oc
tober Atlantic exports were l,0l7.0z6 bushels.

were only 4.6l5, 600 bushels against 6.13U ,6S7
last year, and these figures give some encourage
ment but have Iitte influence in view of the un-
usual visible supply. The price for cash wheat Is
q small fraction higher for the week.
Corn-Receipts at the West have onlv been q
third as large they were last year. with ex ports
amounting to nothing, but the price has not

ACTIVITY IN WHISKY CIRCLES.
Distillers Look for a Speedy Passage
of the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. Z. 1894. Dur
ing the past three days Commissioner
Miller has received demands for adj
ditional gaugers in various parts of
Illinois and Kentucky, and these have
been supplied as far as possible. At one
point eighteen additional men are now at
work gauging whiskey so that it may be
eaken out of bond, the moment the tariff
bill passes. This action of the whiskey
owners, who evidently anticipate the
passage of the bill within a short tune, has
already had the effect of raising internal
revenue receipts from half a million dollars
daily, to which figure they fell after the
squirt in the early part of last month, to
nearly one million dollars a day.
Ii is estimated that the accepts for
August from this source will foot up
80, 900, oo0 in the event of the passage of
the liHiif bill. If it fails. Of course,
the whiskey, though Gagged, will not
lie taken out of bono until the time
limit expires or until the demand, now al
les, i anticipated by several months, is re-
c,ased br The consumption of what is now on
the market.
The Internal Rev sslue Bureau evidently
anticipates the messas c Of the tariff bill with
the Sch .te amendment making the
whiskey tax 81 10 modified in conference
81. a ii is preparing to have the internal
revenue staaf}s, which are now marked 80
cents festampei 81, to correspond to the
change Contemplated.

TEMPER Is COSTLY
The Easily Angercd Girl Soon Losei
Her Friends.

Her Friends.
1t has been discovered that the girl with a
temper can be very fascinating when she
likes. She usually has nice little ways, and
can perform certain acts with grace and
cordiality; but sac has no idea of proportion
in important and ~unimportant matters. and
will be as wildly, worldly indignant about a
triting omission as about a cordial sin, pro-
yided the trihing omission affects her and
the cardinal sin is directed toward others.
You may devote your whole life to her,
but if you are clumsy or stupid where she
expects this will bring discredit on her In
the eyes OF strangers or unirnpertant persons,
she will electrify you by telling you that you
are a thorne in her flesh, a scourge that rem
ders life unbearable to her. she may repent
to this in an hour, may say she did not mean
all she said, that 1t was her dreadful temper
and not she that spoke. and if you love her
very dearly you may forgive her, but the
ache of that and similar strokes will
always remain. II the girl with a
temper be very plain in person she
will render life very dreadful for herself,
but not necessarily SO for mauy other
people. Her relations and friends will learn
in time to shut her out from their ultimate
counsels-to form a life for themselves to-
ward whose outer circle she will recede by
degrees, but if she is pretty, and the chances
are that she is very pretty, beauty purchas-
ing SO much immunity for girls when they
are young, then the probabilities are that
she will plunge some man into lifelong mis-
cry, because the habit of tenpestuous fits, if
not firmly checked in time, will strengthen
with the years.
The girl with a temper is seldom well edau-
Gated. She may nave been to the best and
most expensive schools, but she has not the
concentration and calm of mind which lead
to the acquisition of knowledge. She may
possess a share of accomplishments, nv be
a little musical. a little artistic. may pass
muster among superficial. but the chances
are against her possessing the restful knowl-
edge of anything that come of thorough
ness.-Philddelphia Call.

JAKE FARRIER'S VICTORY.

The Jersey City News Great Letter
Carriers Popularity Contest is over, and
by the votes of II, 1874 of the people of
Jers ey city Jake" Farrier, the veteran,
is declared to be the most popular of
the small army of Uncle Sans post
men that serves this city. As loon as
the polls were declared closed yesterday
afternoon Postmaster Jordan and the
editor of The Jersey City News pro-
ceeded to canvass the vote which task
they completed they completed late in
the afternoon. They found that 25,S73
votes had been cast during the entire
contest.
Mr.. Farrier received on the last day
5,72S votes, almost as many as the sec
ond man received during the entire con-
test. Mr.. Farrier was fortunate in hav-
ing on his side a number of energetic
hustlers, who from the very start went
to work with the determination that
their man should win. His old fire com
rades pitched into the fight with the
same vim and rush which used to bring
old Diligent III. to the front in those
good old lays of the volunteer depart
ment.
Among those who did good work for
Mr.. Farrier were John Flick, William
Lowerre, Frank Zieger, Geo. Becker, H.
Speer, Thomas Kelly, Charles Denecke,
Henry Fenning, J.Underhil, John Dom
nelly, Henry Nose, John Vogel, old Es-
sex street boys, who have been known
Farrier from his boyhood and appreciate
his worth.
Mr.. Daniel Coffey, who took second
place with 6,9l5 votes, also had hosts of
friends who nobly stood by him until
the polls closed. Among the last votes
received on Monday was a bundle from
one who appreciates Mr.. Coffey's SER
vices as a letter carrier.
