Trade Conditions.

Little Falls merchants havehad a
fair trade this week, with a slight
Improvement over the week before.
The steady employment to all the
laborers of the city makes the local
trade steady, as the number III EN-
ployes il greater here than ever be-
fore, it ia of considerab BILE help toal
lines Of business. Farmers are not
heavy buyers now, but as the prob
ability OF good crops increases The
county trade becomes more impor-
tant. It 10 now evident that the
farmers in the country tributary to
Little f alls will be able to make
double the purchases they made last
year, and that il very encouraging
to all lines of trade. The price of
wheat still remains firm, and au-
thOrl ties agree that there is not
much danger OF a decrease.

CROP CONDITIONS.
The Outlook 9tilI the Beat In
Minneoota-Re OF
Damage Reports for H.
Winter Wheat.

The weekly crop bulletin Of the
Minnesota weather service shows
continuation of the favorable
conditions. The report for the
"Central Section is as follows.
Abundant rains throughout this
section and wheat, oa's and other
small grain reported in splendid
condition. The week has shown
a good growth in grain and grass;
wheat and oats growing SO fast
that the straw must be large and
tender and liable later to lodge.
Flax will come out better than ex-
pecued. Corn and potatoes are be-
ing cultivated; most too cold for
corn, but potatoes ere growing
rapidly. Many counties report
cutworms injuring corn, potatoes,
beans, cabbage and gardens gen.
orally. No potato or chinch bugs
to speak of but the Colorado
beetle and grasshoppers are doing
some damage in Chisago county.
The hay crop shows marked i'm
provement and pasturage con-
tinues excellent. The maximum
temperatures ranged between 900
and 800 and the minimum between
$50 and go.
The other sections of Minnesota
are given about the same good
report.
The Minneapolis Journal (Which
is not inclined to exaggerate) pub
lished a good deal of matter Tues.
day to show that the winter wheat
crop was in very poor shape. The
general manager of the Minneap-
oils & Northern Elevator company
had just returned from an extended
trip through the winter wheat
states, where he went for the
special purpose Of learning the
exact condition. He is of the pos.
tive opinion that the winter
wheat crop will not be more than
half the average crop (Which is
425, 900, 900 bushels and that the
shortage will therefore be about
200, 100000 bushels. The man
ager is closely associated with G.
A. Pillsbury, the great miller, and
he declared that the representa-
tions Of the elevator man were not
overdrawn. If there is such a
failure of winter wheat as indi-
Gated, it seems impossible that
wheat should fall any in price, but
on the contrary further increase
would be warranted.
Some of tbs enthusiasts are now
talking of $1.25 wheat, and
there are few dealers who expect
any decline on prices on the
coming crop.

Practically all the silver that
was ever coined in the United
States was made under Republican
laws, and the use of silver was
steadily increasing as money
(either by coming or issuing of
silver certifcates) until the Demo
Gratis controlled the government.
But the Republican party always
took good care that silver money
and its representatives should be
as good as any other money. That
condition would be impossible
with independent free coinage at

silver, but it is better friend OF

WHAT'S THE MATTERp
Kirby Is the Fifth Chief Engineer to Give

 This succession of break downs shows that there is something radically wrong for the men who have gone under are the survival of a picked body who have heretofore been able to carry on the most severe work imposed upon them.
 Naval officers speak earnestly and free ly upon this matter and some of them say that unless sufficient naval engineers are provided to do the work efficiently there should be a stoppage in building of war vessels

SCALE NOT ADVANCED.
fH Sworn Returns of Manufacturers Do Not War rant increased Wages for Amalga- mated Iron Workers.

The Age-Herald several days ago print ed notice which had been posted in the Birmingham Rolling mills notifying all employees not members of the Ama'ga- mated Association of Iron and Steel Workers of an advance in wages. It was also announced that on the 1st of September the Amalgamated men would enjoy an increase of wages. This an nouncement was made on the groun ss that the Amalgamated scale was bassd on the price of iron turned out by mills. In other words the wages of Amalga- mated men were based on what is known as the sliding scale. and were resu ated by the prices of manufactured iron every two months, the prices for September and October being based on the selling price of iron for July and August.
 The price of iron, as is well known by Age Herald readers, had advanced dur ing July and August hence anticipa- tions of an increase for September and October was in order. The Increase, however, seems now an impossibllty: The National Labor Tribune, the of1ciai organ of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, printed at Pittsburg, Pa, in it's Thursdays issue has the following:
 An advance of at least ? per cent on the sheet wage scale had been antlcl- pated for September and october, but the rate for the next two months Will re- main unchanged.
 ] "President Garland and the committee of the association had a conference with the representatives of the Manufactur- CTS association yesterday ana IL was found after an examination of sworn returns of the manufacturers submitted that the prices received had not been high enough for the average time to warrant the advance in wages. If the present selling prices are maintained. however substantial advance in the wage scale will be obtained"
 The above, appearing as it does in the official organ of the Amalgamated asso- citation, is accepted by the men as prool pasitiye that no advance will be made prior to November.
 ! Another thing which warrants the as sertion that no notice of the advance had been received here is the fact that E. L. Bridges Lodge No. 3 of the Amalgamated association held a meeting last night ana no notice of the reported per cent raise was announced.
 A leading member of the organization was seen by an Age-Herald reporter last night and when asked about the reported 3 per cent advance laughed and said Such an advance would not amount to a thrip with the men. and In fact no mo- tice of such an advance has as yet reached our (the Birmingham mill"
 A leading worker of the Alabama Roli- ing mill, Gate City, was also seen relative to the reported raise and he said he had heard nothing of it, nor had the represen- tative of his lodge.
 And so the matter stands.

Ri0TlNG IN SAN SALVADOR.
Government Troops Give No Quarter to the
 Rehel Guerillas.

Rebel Guerillas
 San Francisco, Sept. 14.-A special to the Call from Sonsonate, San Salvador, states that during the past two weeks there has been rioting there. The rioters numbered over 300 men, mostly dis charged soldiers who served under Ezeta. The government sent 500 men to move against them. They retreated toward the coast and awaited the attack, being con stantly reinforced until they numbered over 600 men. The government troops arrived here Wednesday morning. They had been promised pay, but finding thenl- selves unpaid and in want of the nec- essaries of life they began rtotng. Their officers succeeded Wednesday afternoon in forcing them to fight the enemy, whom they drove away with heavy losses on both sides. It Is claimed the rebels lost sixty-two killed and the government thirty-fiye, besides many injured Thurs day was spent in skirmishing. This morning at an early hour the soldiers comenced yelling Death to Guiterrezi; viva Hbertad" The officers found them selves powerless ito check the disorder, and over 200 soldiers left the city and joined the rebels who attacked the gov ernmept forces outside this cny. The loyal troops made strong defense but at last were obliged to fall back When they reached here they were met with fresh endorsements, which had arrived from Santa Ana and the capital, and in a fresh fight the rebels were forced to fall back and are now retreating. The rebels lost over half their number The government troops followed up their ad- vantage and killed many and showed no quarter. Nineteen rebel officers were captured and shot without trial on or ders from San Salvador. It Is rumored that most of the rebel leaders have been killed. i,.s.1 .st
 Government. officials say too much inn portance has been given to the affair. That the rebels were merely one or the large bands that infest the coast. They particularly deny that the movement is in favor of Ezeta. More troops are re- nnrted OH the road here.
