The course was the usual championship

Mortlake. the same rs used by Oxford and
Cambridge In the their annual aquatic bat
tie.
Besides the Sportsman's cup,a magnificent
trophy that has changed hands ten times In
as many years. was contingent on the event.
This was Gaudaurs third visit to England.
In 1886 he rowcd Beach, the Australian, over
the same course for the championship, but
was defeated.

THE FALL TRADE HAS STARTED.
A BETTER OUTLOOK.
Prices Are Still Very Low but the Demand
Is Increasing.
R. @. Dun 4 Co. s Weekly Review OF Trade

R. @. Dun 4 Co. Weekly Review OF Trade
says
Better prospects md relief from monetary
anxiety do not yet bring larger demands for
finished products, though large buying of
pig iron, wool, leather, hides, cotton and
other materials, continue to show growing
belief that n general upward movement In
prices will come with the replenishment of
dealers stocks this fall.
Most prices are extremely low, SO that
nothing more than ordinary demand would
advance them. But bank failures at New
Orleans cause temporary hesitation, crop re-
turns Indicate disappointment In some cot
ton and some spring wheat States. Prices
of corn and oats make II Improbable to sell
mt present, the number of manufacturing
works and mines In operation does not gain,
but rather decreases. Reductions OF wages
are somewhat numerous, occasionally re-
sisted by strikes, and all these conditions
diminish for time the buying power Of the
people.
While many think general Improvement
cannot come until the election has removed
political uncertainties, others expect to see
the result anticipated In trade.
Strictly not half the iron making or iron
working capacity Is now employed and the
demand for finished products does not grow,
but heavy speculative purchases of pig. es-
pecially from Southern works, have sustain
ed prices II the extent of private conces-
sions could be known perhaps there are less
to secure orders than there were two weeks
ago.
Sales OF wool for the week have about
equnled the normal consumption for the first
time In several months. not because manu-
facturers have more orders or are doing
more work, for no gain Is seen In the the de-
mand or output. The buying Is mainly
speculative, based on the belief that prices
must advance.
No considerable decrease appears In the
enormous stock of print cloths, although the
output has been reduced about half for two
months. and fifth Of the years production
remains in the hands OF makers, but they
have advanced the price three-sixteenth dur
ing the week.
For other goods there Is n better demand
and manufacturers have advanced prices be-
cause OF the rising cost of material, the aver
age for all cottons having risen 5.3 per cent
since August 8, but stocks of many kinds are
large.
Corn Ia almost wholly out OF danger, and
the yield is generally expected 10 be the
largest, as the price here Is the lowest ever
known.

LATEST NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
UNCLE SANS ARMY.
The West Is Furnishing More Good Soldiers
Than the East.

The various recruiting depots Of the army
arc reporting to the Adjutant Generals
offlce at the War Department that more ap-
plications for enlistment In tho army are
being received Mt present than have been
known for several decades. The fact that
the general army Is In very good shape, so
far M the supply Of men goes, may be seen
from the statement that there are now only
about 500 vacancies In the full force allowed
by law. The whole quota OF 25. 900 enlisted
cancies that occur each month, there are Ave
applicants for every position.
The greatest number Of men accepted at
any one point during August was at St.
Louis, where II men came up to require
ments, and were enrolled, on the roster.
At indianapolis there were 80 men enlisted,
and at Chicago % went into the army; 2S
were admitted at Cincinnati, 27 at Cleveland
and "a at Louisville. In contrast to this,
there were 27 enlisted at New York City, iS
at Philadelphia, 20 at Baltimore, 10 at Boston
and IL at Buffalo. The department finds
that the Western country furnishes the best
men for the army, and this fact Is borne out
by the number OF reflections at the several
stations.
The department officials state that the
majority OF the men applying for enlistment
in the army are laborers, and that many Of
them were formerly employed on farms.
The number Of the latter class have always
increased after the crops have been harvest
ed. Occasionally men are found who have
good trades, but either from lack Of work or
from other causes they perfer to enter the
army than to pursue their vocation.
II is found that n large percentage OF APP
plicants fail In the examination Of the eye
sight. In fact more men are rejected from
this cause than any other one defect
