with exports smaller. The one industry
showing increase of working force is the
cotton manufacturer, restriction of output
having secured more healthy demand
for some goods. Most of the mills have
started or are about to start. Prices of
staple goods have advanced so generally
that the average of representative quota
tions is 81 per cent higher than in the
first week of August. No such improve
mcnt is seen in wOolcns, hut the spccu-
latiye buying of wool. nearly all at Bos-

for the past three weeks against 11.133.-

There has been Il fair week in dress
goods and better demand for cloakingS,

and the speculative buying of pig iron
sustain prices. Sales said to have
amounted to $4,000 tons have been made
of Alabama pig iron for shipment to
England, but the home demand does not
enlarge at all. The various associations
still hold combination prices, though the
demand is remarkably slender. The coke
output is less than 10000 tons weekly.

SPOKE AT SALISBURY

Salisbury, n. c.. Sept. 11.-At Concor-
did Mr.. Bryan spoke for three minutes
from Il small platform near the depot
When the train reached Salisbury lat
11:15, the larger portion of the popula-
ton appeared to be at the depot Mr..
Bryan was introduced by Z. f. Klutz,
one of those who seconded his nominal
ton at Chicago. The nominee spoke eu-
logistically of the state, and after speak
ing of the fact that Andrew Jackson had
been Il law student at Salisbury. he said
"The principles for which | stand be-
fore the people are the principles taught
by Jackson when he was the idol. not of
democracy alone, but of the great COM
mon people whom he had at all times de-
Tended.
He spoke of Jefferson's history and re-
ferred to the fact that Jackson and JEFF
fersOn had been the object of abusive
epithets by the money owners and
changing class" who proclaimed against
every one who did not ''bow the knee to
Baal and worship the golden calf"
Mr.. Bryan then spoke in a strain which
he had used on other occasions. He
warned laborers not to desert the farm
ers, who have been the friends of labor
in every struggle to better their condi-
ton.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

New York, Sept. -Bradstrect's vii
say tomorrow of the stock market:
Speculative interests of the profcs
sional kind. which at present furnish al
the activity the market possesses, wcr,
inclined at the beginning of the week tC
realize profits on the long side and IL
some degree to act OH the short side. \
matter on which stress was laid was the
expected advance in the Bank of Eng.
lands rate, the unsettled condition OF
the London market, under the combina.
ton of an advance in money, and tho
dubious outlook in Turkey, together with
the belief that statements were likely
circulated to check the flow of gold to
this country. The fact that money
rates here do not relax under the large
inflow of gold and that some important
failures occurred were also bearish fac
tors, while current railroad earnings
began to show plainly the effect of the
combination of light traffic and rate
cutting in some sections. Under these
influences there was a pretty general de-
cline in the stock market prices, accom-
panied by some liquidation of specula-
tive holdings and apparently by still
more selling for the short account. The
increase i'll the outstanding volume of
bear contracts bore fruit later in the
week when the Bank of England failed
to advance its discount rate from ID
per cent, and the London market i'm
proved decidedly on this and on the alb
sence of reported unfavorable develop
ments in the situation at Constantinople.
Additional gold shipments from Europe,
mainly from Paris, completed the change
of sentiment and when the bear interest
turned to cover it was found that stocks
were scarce and general recovery, eX-
tending throughout the list, was the re-
suit The feeling on American securi-
ties in London has improved TO marked
extent, though the trouble in the Levant
and fear of other outbreaks at Turkeys
capital tend to keep bullsh activity in
allegiance on the part of the foreign pub
lie.
Bonds have not been active, but de-
clines in the early part of the week were
by notable recoveries in
many cases, both in speculative aud in,
yestment issues. The market OH Fri
day was dull, but firm, at further adj
vances on coverings ny shorts, closing
at concessions from the highest prices.

THE DAWES COMMISSION

Vinita, I. T., Sept. 1.-THE Dawes
commission has undertaken the task of
making "roll," as they call it, of the
bona tde citizens of the several tribes
OF Indians in the Indian Territory. The
magnitude of the work imposed upon the
commission may be, in measure, under
stood s when it is stated that more than
100000 applications for admission have
been already filed and that each appli-
cant must be heard and his case deter
mined within ninety days after the time
OF sitting, and all cases must be passed
upon by the commission by December 10.

Congressman Apsley Thinks the Rcpub.

Washington. Sept. 7.-Representative
Apsley of Maine, vice chairman of the
republican congressional committee. re-
turned today from an extended trip
through the west He said:
I'VE visited Idaho, Nebraska. Oregon.
Montana, North Dakota and other
states. w spent n most pleasant time
in the Pacific coast states. | never in
my life saw more enthusiasm shown in
politics. Even in Colorado we held six
rousing meetings, and such is the spirit
OF the republicans, l believe that if we
keep up the aggressive work now being
done we will carry that state for Nc
n Mlmley, or will at least oblige Senator
Teller to return home and give mat
tiers his attention.
Il am of the opinion that if the ma
tional congressional committee contin-
ues the eeduca tional fight it has been
nlaking the only states in the northwest
that need be conceded are possibly tbe
farming states"

AT DTRHAM.

Durham, Sept. 17.-After leaving
Greensboro there were short stops at
Burlington and Halesboro, where Mr..
Bryan spoke briefly to the few hundred
people gathered about the depot.
At Durham, the next stop, Mr.. Bryan
shook hands from the platform to
the depot and said in part:
''The price of silver depends upon sup
ply and demand, and no matter how
much the production falls, if the supply
does not increase as rapidly as the de-
mand for it, the price of it will rise.
They tell you that you can not legislate
two metals together because of their
varying productions, but they forget that
when the government stands ready to
take all the gold for Il certain price and
all the silver at a certain price and con-
vert these metals into money at that
price and ratio it becomes immaterial
whether you produce one ounce or one
or more of the other, or reverse the pro-
portions. There can not be change eff
fected in the ratio unless the govern
ment fails in its ability to resume or
rather to take and realize both if pre-
scented.

Professor J. M. Munyon, president OF
the Munyon Homeopathic Home Remedy
Company has been talking to a corro-
spondent OF Printers Ink, and in the
interview he gave his reasons for be-
lieving in advertising. He is one of the
largest advertisers in the country, and
the results obtained, he believes, are
due to a proper and careful! selection OF
the mediums through which the value cf
his remedies is made known. He netted
s267, GOO from his business last year.
Professor Mupyon said:
We have built our success purely on
advertisements telling the truth, and
telling ii continually. Telling 1t in the
best newspapers and telling 1t in gener-
Gus space. We have never spent dol
lar outside OF the newspapers and have
clung very closely to reading matter.
Our success is distinctly newspaper sue
cess. There Is nothing tnat can take
the place of newspaper advertising,
and propose to increase It. The article
in Printers Ink gives Professor Num-
yon's general views ia this respect and 1t
is very interesting reading. A perusnl OF
the interview would be profitable to the
whole field CT advertisers.
