The programme is an unusually in
teresting one. The march is by Major

ing composition.
The overture is an old and deserved
favorite, being classical enough in its
composition to please the educated mu-
sician and melodious enough to please
anybody.
The waltzeS are from Sousa's latest
operate success, now in it's twentieth
week in New York. The Congress-
number will occupy about thirty min
utes, and is considered u marvel OF
arrangement. The mocking bird.

always acceptable. The Three Quota
tions" are from Sousa's facile pen. and

States. Prices Of corn and oats make
it Improbable to sell at present, the
number Of manufacturing works and
mines in operation does not gain, but
rather decreases, reductions of wages
are somewhat numerous, occasionally
resisted by strikes, and all these con-
ditions diminish for a time the buy
ing power of the people.
While many think general improve
ment cannot come until the election has
removed political uncertainties, others
expect soon to see the result anticipated
in trade
The weekly output of pig iron de-
creased 26, ,51S tons in August to 80, 800
tons, against 217, 800 in November,
shrinkage of 40 per cent. Other works
still have stopped since September be-.
gan. Unsold stocks increased 81, ,O6S
tons in August exclusive of those accu-
mulating in the hands of great steel
companies.
Sales of wool for the week have about
equaled the normal consumption for the
first time in several months, not be-
cause manufacturers have more work,
| for no gain is seen in the time or out
put The buying is mainly speculative,
| vance.
| No considerable decrease appears in
the enormous stock of print cloths, al
though the output has been reduced
about one-half for two months, and a
fifth of the years production remains
in the hands of the makers, but they
have advanced the price three six
teenths during the week. For other
goods there is a better demand, and
manufacturers have advanced prices
because of the rising cost of material,
the average for al cottOns having risen
5.3 per cent. since August 9th, but
stocks of many kinds are large.
| The Financial Chronicles" annual
report, issued to-day, makes the last
crop of cotton 1852, 473 bales. the con-
sumption north and south 1896, $40 and
the exports 4,712,912 during the year.
No account of Southern mill stocks is
attempted, and no estimate is yet given
of the crop now coming forward.
| Accounts of disappointing returns in
spring wheat States are numerous, but
| it is difficult to reconcile short estimates
| with the heavy marketing at low rates.
| Corn is almost wholly out of danger,
and the yield is generally expected to
be the largest, as the price here is the
| lowest ever known.
| Stocks grew steadily until Thursday,
although railroad earnings are not
stimulating. The average for railroad
stocks has risen slightly, and for trusts
over 81 per share, Notwithstanding
much realizing of profits, especially
since the failures in New Orleans.
| The tide of gold imports still runs
strongly this way, further engagements
lifting the aggregate to $2S,62O. 900, of
which $23, 172, ,050 have arrived. The
prospect led the Bank of England to
raise its discount rates from 2 to 21a
per cent, and some selling for foreign
account followed in stocks. The New
Orleans bank failures were followed by

Large Buying of Raw rIaterials Leads
to the Belief That Prices
Will Soon Advance.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-R. G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade to-
morrow, will say: Better prospects and
relief from monetary anxiety do not yet
bring demands for finished products,
though large buying of pig iron, wool,
leather, hides, cotton and other mate
rails continue to show a growing belief
that going upward movement in
prices will come with the replenishmen'

are extremely low, so that nothing more

There is a wayward white oak tree
near Laporte, Ind, tha1 may well puz-
zle naturalists with the vagaries of its
growth. The tree is fee in circumfer-
ence at the base, and there are no
branches of any size below ] 8 feet from
the ground. There the great bole di-
vides into a number of limbs. Two,
leaving the trunk about 20 inches apart,
grow west, their lines diverging for some
6 feet, and then each rending toward
the other. Twelve feet from the body Of
the tree they unite again, making per
feet oval, and out of this grow two
smaller branches. As if not satisfied
with that expressed disregard for the
laws Of nature. this old tree has per
formed another feat. Six feet from its
base grows another white oak, less than
half its size, and no sooner does the
smaller tree arrive at the charmed cir
cles of those branching limbs than one
Of them grows right into it, and is alb
sorbed. The second tree is very much
larger 20 feet from the ground than at
its base

who was at that time also frequent

princes took a fancy to mingle with the
commons of the Vienna population.
Dressed in ordinary clothes, they visited
