Chairman Midgley has called a
meeting of interested lines for Tues

of the cut rates to the seaboard from
Minneapolis on flour. In the circular
which calls the meeting, Chairman
Midgley admits that similar meeting

an advance of rates would have to
be abandoned unless the forthcoming

OUTLOOK AS VIEWED BY DUN & co.
All Conditions Favor hmm ediate
Improvement in the Volume of
General Business.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: The moderate i'm
provement of trade in the past few
weeks continues and is emphasized by
further speculative purchases of wool,
renewed buying by wool manufacture
ers, the reduction of surplus stocks of
cotton goods, increase demand for sea-
sonable fabrics, continued confidence
among manufacturers Of iron and
steel that there will be an early revi-
val in demand, and improvement in
request for staple goods in the South,
Atlantic and Gulf states. The vol
umes of sales of general merchandise
shows a small gain over last week, and
the feeling among wholesale merchants
is one of more confidence in compar-
atively early movement. Unexpected
ly large sales of dry goods are reported
from Boston, Chicago and ST. Louis,
with indications that they may continue
throughout the month. At the more
important Northwestern centers larger
sales of hats, shoes, hardware and
drugs are reported. although the total
is less than in the like portion of last
year. Much of the gain at the South
is due to the rapidity with which the
cotton crop is being gathered and mar
keted. At San Francisco general bust
ness is somewhat improved, particu-
laTly exports of barley. Trade has
been stimulated at leading Western
business centers. Willamette Valley,
Or, wheat raisers are selling wheat
freely at current quotations.
Exports of wheat, flour included,
from both coasts of the United States
this week amount to 1856, 1926 bushels,
against 3,709,000 bushels last week, and
as compared with 2,538000 bushels in
two years ago, and with 4,727 900 bush
els in the like week of 1898. There has
been a heavy increase in wheat ex-
ports from the Pacific coast this week.
as compared with last, but a falling
off in shipments from Atlantic ports.
The total number of business fail
ures throughout the United States
this week is 315, which is seven more
than last week, 81 more than in the
corresponding week last year, 81 more
than in the like week of 1894, 81 fewer

southern Trouble Ended, at Least
for the Present.
WASHINGTON, Sept 1S.-The Sea-
board Air line has filed with the In
terstate Commerce commission a no.
tice Of the restoration of all its rates,
not only within the jurisdiction of
Judge Speer, but outside of it, the res
toration to take effect on the 2Sth
instant, the same day that the restora-
ton of rates by the other roads with
in Judge Speer's Jurisdiction takes
effect
The Southern States Freight asso-
citation, when it gave notice on
Wednesday Of the restoration of rates,
confined the notice to points within
the jurisdiction of Judge Speer The
action today of the Seaboard, which
started the rate war, in restoring all
rates on the 28th and not confning
the restoration to the points within
Judge Speer's jurisdiction, of course,
will render it unnecessary for the
competing roads to continue their cut
rates. The roads of the Virginia Freight
association, which includes the Penn
sylvania and it's coastwise steamer
connections, and the c. & O., the
Southern States Freight association,
including the Southern and other
roads, and the roads in the Mississippi
Valley and Southwestern associations
have all reduced rates in consequence
Of the war. The commissioners Of
these associations are in telegraphic
communication todav. and it is prob
able that notice will be fled with
drawing all cut rates on these lines
The general belief here is that the
action of the Seaboard ends the rate
war for the present, that Is until
Judge Speer's injunction is either dis
solved or made permanent The time
for the hearing of the injunction has
not yet been set.

TO CHECK SPECULATION.
Laws Adopted by Germany Govern
ing Option Trading


WASHING ON, Sept. 1S-Consul julius Muth
reporting to the department of state from
Magdeburg, on the new exchange law of the
German empire, says the government under
the pressure OF the agrarian party, has I'M
dertaken to check speculation on the ex-
changes not alone in stocks, but also in
food products. Under the law no exchange
can be established without the consent of the
government, which, through commissioner
will exercise a continued supervision over its
action and dealings. A court of honor is
created which may exclude persons from the
exchange after due trial. Parties who have
been judicially declared bankrupt will be ex-
cluded for at least six months, and perma-
nent1y Ii the bankruptcy was fraudulent
When the listing of stocks or bands Is ap-
piled for at an exchange, the committee will
make thorough investigation of all the
circumstances affecting their security and de-
STABILITY, and will. then decide whether they
may be admitted. Before this Is DONE a
prospectus must be published, giving all par
ticulars Of such securities. Stocks will not
be admitted until one year from the entry
of the firm name in the commercial register
nor before the publication of the balance
sheet for the first business year. All parties
who have signed the prospectus are liable for
Its correctness, and must make good any loss
or damange to the takers of securities re-
sultfng from false. misleading or omitted state
ments in the prospectus. Besides, they are
liable to be crimfnaliy prosecuted If the cir
cumstances warrant such proceedings.
All dealings in futures or on term at the ex-
change are prohibited unless the parties to
the transaction are entered in the so-called
exchange register. The original entry in this
register costs $35, and an annual fee of about
Sc is exacted to keep the entry alive Persons
falling to have their names entered in the
register. have no legal claims against such
other, by reason Of any term transactions
Such claims are considered In the light Of
gambling. The term business or dealing in
futures In grain and mill products. stocks of
mining and manufacturing establishments on
the exchange is entirely forbidden. Whoever
habitually and for selfish purposes induces
inexperienced persons to speculate on the ex-
change in such articles as are outside of their
sphere of business will be punished by i'm
prisonment and money fine of not exceed
Ing $3.50. The law will go into effect on
Jan. 1, 1897.

secured more healthy demands 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
items is 81 per cent higher than in the
first week of August. No such improve
ment is seen in woolens. There has
been fair week in dress goods and
better demand for cloakings, but the
heavy failure of a Philadelphia firm
tends to restrict operations. The iron
and steel manufacture is still waiting
for business with nearly half it's pro-
ducing capacity idle.
Failures for the past week have been
81 in the United States, against 213
last year and 80 in Canada, against 80
last year.

ALLEGED BARON.
Story Brought Out by the Pretend
er's Suicide.

story Brought Out by the Pretend
er's Suicide.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1s.-With
the Identification of the body an I'M
known youth who committed suicide
under mysterious circumstances at
Martinez, on Sunday last. the story of
the eventful but brief career of an al
legged German baron at Belmont. in
San Mateo county. has just come to
light.
About year ago tramp was
picked up on the highway between Red
wood City and Belmont by a philan-
thropic resident of the latter place.
who took him home and gave him en-
ployment. After working for almost
nine months. the YOUTH who was
known as Harry Moering. confided to
the ladies of his employers household
that he was an imposter. Instead of
being an ordinary tramp, he was Baron
E. Won Zedwich. the eldest son Of a
German nObleman. Among other Incl
dents Of his life, he related that he had
been an officer in the German navy,
but had deserted his ship for some
imaginary grievance when in South
Africa, and had worked his way to this
coast.
Since his arrival here, he had been
corresponding with his father, and the
latter, who was personal and init
mate friend of the German emperor,
had exercised his political pull, and
that he had not only been forgiven for
deserving his ship, but had been hon
ored by an appointment as a first lieu
tenant. He also incidentally mentioned
that his dear mother had died in Ger
many, and on her death-bed had for
given him, and bequeathed him a sum
equal to about $4,000 in American
money. Recent letters he also stated,
had been received by him announcing
that an allowance would soon be for
warded to him by his father, who was
anxious for him to return to his father
land. AS he produced letters to sub
stantiate his story, his romance was
credited by one member of the fam
lily at least, the youngest daughter OF
his employer, who astonished her rela-
tives by announcing shortly afterwards
that she had plighted her troth to the
baron. Pending inquiry, the distin-
guished foreigner ceased to work, and
lived as the honored guest of his bene-
factor but, just before a letter arrived
from Germany denouncing him as an
imposter he diSappeared
