Bradstreet's Review.

New York, Oct. 3.-Bradstreet's Re
view says:
Cooler weather and continued pur-
chases by interior merchants, notably
west and south, continued the slight i'm
provement in trade recorded In preced-
ing weeks. Merchants at primary cot
ton markets and at large centers In the
spring wheat region report a better
movement of staples, due to unusually
heavy receipts Of those crops. Through
out the central west. including such
points as Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chi
cago and st. Louis, the volume of trade
falls behind hat Of a year ago in some
instances, but is equal to it in others.
At eastern centers the improvement is
seen In greater ease in the money mar
kets and more disposition to discount
commercial paper, although at I'M
changed rates. Wholesale merchants
report a better feeling very generally,
but few anticipate any material in
crease In the volume of business this
month.
Mercantile collections continue slow and
as difficult to make as heretofore, except
IN the cotton states and at some points In
the northwest, where heavy crop receipts
have enabled interior merchants to
liquidate long standing accounts. The
more conspicuous demand at large inter
.or cities is for dry goods, clothing, shoes,
hardware, leather and lumber. There Is
also a better demand for pig iron and
steel.
Business in cotton goods has been adj
vanced by the check in prices, and mill
stocks tend to accumulate again.
Exports Of wheat, fiour included as
wheat, from both coasts of the United
States and from Montreal, his week,
amount to 4,2l5, 79i bushels, the largest
weeks exports of wheat since the second
week of September, 1893. IL Is compared
with 1880, 900 bushels last week and 2,613, 900
bushels IN the corresponding week one
year ago. -.
The total number Of business failures
throughout the United States from Janu-
airy / to September 80, 1896. is 1l.2S0. the
largest aggregate reported for a Tx period
sine records OF this character have been
compiled. The next largest corresponding
total was LAO for nine months of the
panic year. 1898.
The total business failures throughout
the Dominion of Canada amount to l,161
for the past nine months, an increase OF
Sl5, compared with the corresponding
period last year.
The total liabilities amounted TO sls..

MANY VISITORS AT CANTON
Mckinley Addresses Large Crowds
of Ohio Voters.
MoKinley Says II Victory IL Theirs
1t Must BE Triumphant Enough
20 DO Worthy of
the Cause.

Canton, Oct. 1.-The city was again
full OF visitors yesterday, four special
rains bringing delegations from Port
age county, O., with greetings Tor the
candidate.
The delegation formed a parade,
marched a short distance, and then met
Mckinley in the tabernacle.
Major Mckinley in his address to the
visitors said in part:
1--WE propose in this contest to pro-
tect the money of the United States from
debasement and by the same vote we
propose to protect American labor from
the competition of cheaper labor or the
old world. In the great contests OF the
past, both In war and in peace, the re-
publican party has done proud ana con-
s~picuous service in the cause or liberty
honor, justice and truth. Let us pre-
serve our splendid example. The issues
of the present campaign, quite as dis
tinctly as any of the great campaigns
of the past, devolve upon every Amerl-
can citizen a most important
duty. Our contention this year
appeals to the best aspirations
of American citizenship n IN
wolves just as certainly as any contest
in the past ever involved the honor and
good faith of the country. We cannot
close our eyes TO the fact that II by our
ballots we lower the credit OF the gov
lions, in whole or in part, or deliberately
depreciate a vast of It's cur
rency, we have aimed a blow at its
hitherto unsullied name and n The
grand dc Western Reserve is full OF pa
triotic recollections 1t is the home of
Giddings, OF Wade, of Garfield and the
home of the most splendid republican
ism. Never has the republican u
more clearly appealed to the conscience
and intelligence than in this campaign.
The patriotism for which you are so
Justly celebrated must not be abated.
The strong, clear voice Of o IL people
which has been heard so distinctly in
perilous times of the past must again
resound throughout the nation in thun-
der tones for truth and justice and hon
or and honesty. Your glorious past APP
peals to you to abate no effort because
the tide of public opinion seems SO
strongly in your favor.
1T must be a victory triumphant
enough to be worthy Of the cause for
which we STAND"

SPANISH WERE DEFEATED.
Maceo Attacks the Trocha and I'm
ficts Great Damage.


New Orleans, Oct. 3.-The Times
Democrats Key West special says:
Advices received here from Havana
state that Antonio Maceo in a recent
attack or the trocha inflicted terrible
osses on the Spaniards, more than 1000
being killed and wounded. The attack
was made at night and carefully
planned. The fighting was general all
along the line, but was the hercest near
Artemisa, where Antonio Maceo led a
arge force of insurgents against the
Spanish column commanded by Genera
Aralas.
The Spaniards were taken completely
by surprise. They were aroused from
sleep to find a host Of insurgent bullets
'alling upon them. General Aralas and
his staff, half clad, rushed from their
headquarters and tried to rally the
Spanish troops. who were panic stricken
BY the insurgents attack. 1t was half
II hour before ever a semblance OF or
der could be restored to the Spanish
column, and during that time the troops
remained huddled together, an easy
mark for the bullets OF the Cubans. IL
vas during this period of the panic that
so many Of the Spanish troops were
killed. The insurgents had several dy-
lamite guns. and these were used with
terrible effect, the shells bursting among
he Spaniards and striking them down
Oy the scores. Tn wounds made by the
dynamite shells were frightful in many
Instances. men being literally blown 10
pieces. 1t Is said many Spanish officers
were killed and that General Aralas

General Aralas succeeded In rallying his
men he made a retreat, and the Span
ards fell back four miles or more, leav-
ng the trocha in the hands OF the insur-
gents. Antonio Maceo did not pursue
The Spaniards. but held possession OF
Artemisa until morning, when he re-
.reated to his stronghold. Before the in
mrgents retreated they demolished that
portion OF the trocha near Artemisa by
glowing up the Qualifications with dyna-
mite.

Butler Not Communicative.
IhE DEFICIT GROWS,
Ii D. Only the Lack of Revenue Tha,
Bothers Now.

Washington. Oct. 9.-The monthly
debt statement issued by the treasury
department emphasizes one more the
fact that a ack of revenue and not 8
lack Of primary money" is responsible
for the additions to the bonded indebt-
edness created by the present admins
tration. For the first quarter Of the tis-
cal year, which began on July !, the de-
felt in revenues is shown 10 be upwards
Of $4,000, 900. This deficit is primarily
due to a falling off in revenue created
by the Wilson-Gorman bill and 10 this
deficiency more than to the outflow of
gold in the past few years is due the ne
cessity for the sale of bonds which had
added $3.50, 600, 900 to the bonded debt and
Sic, O00, 900 annually to the interest
charges. The managers Of the repub.
lean congressional campaign point tc
the facts as evidence of the necessity OF
electing a congress pledged TO provide
revenues and Secretary Mercer says
that with a revenue bill which viii
produce g sufficient to pay run.

settle itself"
