There Is No Real Reaction In Business
The Enormity Of the Corn Crop
Rri~ht Feature.

R. G. Dun l. Co., in their weekly review OF
trade say: There is no real reaction in busl-
ness. Gains which were recognized as tenn
porary are vanishing, but there remains
decided increase over last year at date, al
though prices average S.S per cent lower
than a ago. It needs no keen observer to
see that the reaction against the rapid ad-
vance Of prices is still strong. Cotton is
strong, but has paused. The general ten
dency to curtail purchases where prices nave
notably advanced grows clearer in boots
and shoes, in wool, and in some products OF
iron.
Imports are large, but it is stated that
Bradford manufacturers find it hard to get
labor enough to fill their orders. so that
delay may cancel many contracts, as ln1erlor
quality has cancelled some already. The
cotton manufacturer has rising cotton and
strong market TO help, but chance OF
great strike for higher wages.
The brightest feature in all the horizon Is
the certainty that :hc crop oscorn will be en-
0 nous. Frosts now can only affect small
fraction, and the Surplus will 20 into

FROM 10 cents for spot cotton last week to
s 35 on Tuesday but has since been weak IN
srite Of concerted official statements that the
decrease is SO per cent. in some States and
q per cent in Texas. The pubic observes
much skilled and organized labor in these re-
ports and also sees what many spectators
refuse to see-the 100000 bales old Ameri-
can brought over. 1t is earnestly hoped hat
Southern agriculture has not sustained so
great calamity. The annual report, show
inC larger yield last year than has been
supposed. only indicates that more cotton
must remain in the country besides the un-
consumed stocks abroad. A quiet market
without much change of prices for time
would be blessing for the South.
The railroads have gained 10 Of l per
cent. in earnings over last year for August,
the last week doing better, though the ton
mage east bound from Chicago was Z per
cent. smaller s,r the month than in 1892 and
the earnings OF all roads were "a 8 per cent.
smaller.
The demand for commercial and manufac-
tured loans and for the West is somewhat
larger, but the money markets arc still easy.

WATER MAINS OPENED.
A Flood Rushing Through Them
For an Hour Today.
THIS DONE TO PURIFY lHGM.

1t Was Thought ADIphtberiG Might Be-
Due TO Stagna1t Water in the Pipes.
If you found it impossible to get any
water from your hydrant between and
4 o'clock this afternoon you need not
think that the water company which has
largely devoted itself to making you
uncomfortable has gone out of business.
1t has had a generous streak and is doing
something to prevent the spread of
diphtheria.
This seems strange but it is true never
theless. The mayor visited the secretary
last evening and requested that the water
mains be flushed and Mr. Shaw gave his
consent Immediately. Mr.. Shaw is a very
good man and a good citizen who works
for very parsimoniOus company. The
time was liked for the hour be-
tween 3 and o'clock this afternoon aud
during that tins the outlet of the big
main, which is near the old pumping
station, was opened and the water was
forced through the mains to give them
thorough washing. 1t was thought that
this would prove more effective than to
open all the hydrants and allow the water
to run.
This will affect only the territory west
of Kansas avenue. and tomorrow the
mains east of Kansas avenue will be
given the same treatment There is an
other outlet for these mains. 1t is near
Shunganunga creek, and this will be
opened and the mains thoroughly washed.
This move is the result of complaint
that the water which came from the
hydrants in many places had very bad
odor and was evidently unwholesome. It
was suggested that this might be very
Truthful source of the disease now pre-
vailing in the city. Some families quit
using the city water altogether for drlnk
ing purposes on that account
The mains should be treated to a wash
ing of this kind every month for it is
evident that sediment must collect in the
water pipes and pollute the water.
