of decline of ) per cent in the London
opening. A few of the wooden mills are
having quite brisk calls for heavy wooden
goods.
Finished products of iron meet more
inquiry, and the placing of contracts for
10000 tons of steel for three new battle
ships, for one building here and for sew
eral bridges explain the starting of two
or three works, but with such months as
have passed little business is gain. A
sharp fall of 50 per ton in low phosphorus
pig and slight rise in grey forge at
Pittsburg and in steel plates are the only
changes noted in prices. but billets are
still sold by outsiders at $3.50, bar steel
SlO.l5, and furnace coke below 50, with
an output of only 50,I50 tons weekly at
Connellsville, though all the combina-
tons maintain their price.
Exports of 10000 tons of rails this year
at prices far below those current here,
and 25,00O tons pig to England at 1888
at Manchester. freights being at just
$3.15, indicate unloading a surplus
abroad to avoid weakening markets here.
The plates are slightly lowered by home
competition to $3.50. against $3.50.
The failures for the week have been
315 in the United States against PIG last
year, and 80 in Canada against 30 last
year.

A MORGUE STORY.
Why Bryan May Not Have a First-Class
Funeral

1t was hot day in August, and the
morgue in New York had a single Gus
toner On the boards lay the body of
an unknown man. Poverty had moth
ing to do with his death, for his cloth
ing was good and his pockets were filled
with silver coin. The only fact of inn
portance to the authorities was that he
was dead, and no one claimed his re-
mains.
As the hours passed men and women
crowded the mOrgue, searching for dead
relations. 4 hundred eager eyes scanned
the body and passed on. At last recog-
milton came. A telegraph summoned
men and women from Poughkeepse.
Seven brothers and sisters hurried to
New York and wendell their way to the
morgue. Tears filed their eyes as they
recognized the body of their father. They
were overwhelmed with grief, albeit his
death made them rich.
Being dead he must be buried in splen-
dor. High-priced undertakers came in,
and the arrangements for the burial were
made in a style worthy of the eXchequer
of Louis MY. No expense was spared
nothing was too good
In moving the corpse from the hard
boards to the handsome casket the mouth
flew open. Then one lovely daughter
screamed
This is not our father, See, he has no
teeth. Our father had q head full of
them"
It was all too true. In every other re-
spect he was their father. But without
teeth he was not of their kith and kin.
Out Of the casket the corpse was hur-
ried. The grand hearse moved away,
and the mourners departed. The corpse
and the attendant stood alone in the tenn
pie Of death. The corpse looked blue and
the attendant bluer. 1t was too much
for ordinary good nature. No attendant
could stand such q denouement Wrath
gave way to pity, and, shaking his fist
at the corpse. the attendant shrieked in
dismal majesty:
You damned, mis- cradle fool! Had
you KEEP, your Mouth shut you might

of you are rightly l thing the use of
foreign coal, which makes idle miners in
the United States is most expensive eX-
pertinent for the American people. We
must 90 back to the policy and conditions
of 1880 to start our factories and in
crease our demand for American coal
We must re-establsh the system by
which we increased the output of coal
from mines of the United States from
100000 tons in 1880 to 100000
tons in 1890; that increasing the sales of
our annual product from 95.000,000 in
1850 to 1S0,0O0,000 in. 1890; that increas-
ed the number of employed in our coal
mines from 10000 in 1880 to 299.000 in
lS9O; that paid wages TO these miners in
1870 SlOo,0OO,OOO as against 500, 100000
in 1851, and that made profitable an in
yestment in coal mining of probably
S342, 100000 in 1890 as against S261 .000,-
600 in 1880. Most of the DEVELOPMENT
of that period was in the development of
the mines of the south and not those in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, but we can stand
matter of home competition. 1t is our
own people, blood of our blood, owing al
legiance to the same flag that has made
this wonderful development in the south
ern section of the country. We con-
graduate them and rejoice with them. 1t
is the foreign competition against which
we must protect ourselves. Continued

encourage both home production and
home competition. Let us have it in the
great American family whose charge
should always be our special concern.

1t has already started some works and
prompted a few contracts. Continuing

New York. Sept. 25.-Bradstreets re-
view of the New York stock market
says:
The advance of the Bank of England
rate from IL per cent to per cent,
the hardening of the open market Tor
loans at London and slight rise in eX-
change rates here seems to impose a
check on the inflow of gold from Europe:
but in view of the activity of grain and
other exports it is thought the move
ment of specie this way will continue
though on a more moderate scale. Dur
ing the week, however, les sthan So,o0o,-
600 in gold was secured from London
and Paris for shipment here, making
the total to date S40,00O,OO0, of which
$31. 100000 has already arrived. The
total treasury holdings may be put at
about S124,000,000 as against S1O1, gOO,-
600 when the gold inflow began. This
is a factor in creating the better feelings
which affects the course of share market
values. The market continues to be. in
the MAN, a professional affair. Public
can not be detected and the
foreign markets, while more favorable
toward American securities, are infu-
enced by the pending troubles over Tur-
key and the rise in interest rates.
On Friday further advances were
scored and large interests in the market
seem to be working generally on the bull
side.

effect of the influences above referred to

dicates that even dull times do not check
the progress of affairs of the govern

fuence of industrial activity, large
number of new Offices would have been
created. But there were as many added
to the list as the business of the country
required, and that is all that ought to be
expected. The policy of the govern

In eastern jobbing circles the feeling
is one of increased confidence. There is
more doing i'll some staple lines, noticea-
bly, at the east, and at a few southern
cities. In most instances purchases con-
tinue for immediate wants only. There
is little expectation of a general revival
in business prior to election. Throughout
the central and northwest territory no
material change is reported in general
trade features. Savannah reports a
marked increase in volume of business,
both of wholesale and retail, with salts
factory collections. Memphis and Gal
weston report moderate gains in demand
and sales. improvement Is shown in
various commercial and industrial lines
at New York. Boston, Providence and
Pittsburg. Improved demand for wool
continues, with an upward tendency in
prices. Demand from England remains
noticeable, but is offset by higher rates of
freight and scarcity of ocean room. There
is a better jobbing movement i'll cotton
goods, which are higher. Not much
more wooden machinery has been started.
The starting up of iron mills and furnaces
is conspicuous, but makers in some in
stances seem to be anticipating demand.
Exports of wheat, flour included as
wheat, from both coasts of the United
States and from Montreal this week
amount to 3,0SS,646 bushels as compared
with 1885, 600 bushels last week, 3,515,-

the worlds record at 900 IL. The day
was cold, light northeasterly winds were
blowing up the stretch when John II.
Gentry, with Andrews in the sulky. came
out to 20 against his record of POI ID
made on September !, this year. at Glen
Falls, n. Y.
Gehtry had been given two warming
up miles in the afternoon and when he
came out for the third time the sun was
rapidly sinking. The famous pocer
scored once or twice with the runner who
was to pace him and then went IN the
stretch on what was to be the fastest
mile ever done by horse in harness.
lhere was not big crowd present. but
WHAT there was gave the PAGER a grent
ovation as he came towards the wire for

quarter ut O.20 Il and the second quar-
ter was made in 0.30 II, making the
half mile in 90 II. The runner. by
the use of the whip, was keeping up at
Gentry's wheel, but was making hard
work of it. The third quarter was made
in O.3O 81, making the three quarters

With the shouting of the crowd, which
was now cheering like mad. the PAGER
spurted for the wire, and considering that
he had the wind in his teeth, made the
most remarkable quarter in 0.30 Ii
making the mile in 100 IL, just one sec
ond less than the former best record, first
made by Robert J ut Terre Haute in
1913 and equalled this year by John X.
Gentry. When the time was announced
the crowd broke through the fence and
crowded out on the track around the
PAGER, cheering wildly.
1t is believed that had not Gentry had
to contend with the wind he would have
made the mile in two minutes easily.
