BRADSTREET'S REVIEW.
Better Demand for Staple Goods at
Various Points.

New York, oct. 10.--Bradstreet's to-
lay says:
Colder weather, continued heavy re-
.eipts of cotton and wheat and other
Influences have stimulated demand for
staple goods at various points, but the
volume of trade remains moderate,
without material change from a week
ago. The tendency at some centers is
10 a smaller volume of trade, but the
general outlook is for an improved de-
nand after election. Interior mer-
chants are inclined to examine into
credits closely. Except in the cotton
and wheat regions mercantile collec-
lions continue unsatisfactory.
The Pacific coast reports increasing
activity in wheat, the noteworthy fea-
.ure being a cargo of wheat exported
10 India. Total exports of wheat from
both coasts of the United States and
from Montreal, flour included as wheat,
continue to attract attention in view Of
short supplies in Russia. India, Argen-
line and Australia. The domestic
wheat crop Is more likely to approx
mate 500, 600, 600 bushels this year than
only 400, 600, 900, the general interpreta-
ton of the government wheat crop re-
N.rt. With the prospect favorable to
IN exceptionally large demand for
wheat for export within the next six
months, a larger supply than hereto
tore reported is likely to prove fortu-
nate. The total exports Of wheat this
week amount to 1850, 702 bushels,
against 4,215,O0 0 bushels last week and
!,244, 900 bushels in the first week Of Oc-
tober, 1895.
There were 2l9 business failures in
NE United States reported this week, a
decline of "a as compared with last
week. There were 81 business failures

New York, October l0.-A Berlin dis.
patch says: Socialists throughout the
world are looking forward with inter
est to the proceedings of the annual
congress of German socialists which
opens near Gotha tomorrow and contin
ues for one week. The congress will be
attended by socialists from all parts OF
Europe, from England and from the
United States. The American reports
will declare that the vote of the party in
he United States at the last presiden.
tia election, which aggregated in the
neighborhood OF 10000, will be largely
increased in the coming election. Incl
dentally, the American report will indi-
cate that there is no love lost between
the socialists and the popullsts, mas
much as the former hold that a revolu-
ton in industrial systems and general
naturalization Of the means OF produc-
ton, rather than free coinage Of silver,
are essential to the emanclpa-
ton of the masses. The report
of the executive committee will
show that. while the con-

in Germany alone a quarter of a million
copies Of northumberland pamph-
let's have been sold during the year, and
that from It's funds the party has been
able to subs.dize nearly seventy daily and
b.-weekly papers. The report of Herr Be

son of anarchists from it's proceedings,

TAYLOR CASE SEQUEL.
South Dakota Beaten i'm Its Caus
Against Bondsman McChesney.

New York, Oct. 10.-South Dakota has
been beaten in the $780, 900 suit against
Taylor's bondsmen in the New York
supreme court.
A demurrer interposed by the state
of South Dakota to the answer set VI
by John T. McChesney to the com
plant of the state in an action TO re.
Cover on a bond of William Walter
Taylor, the ~defaulting treasurer of the
state was overruled by Justice Beck
man of the supreme court.
A bond of $3.50, 900 was given by Tay-
lor when he became treasurer to serve
for the years 1898 and 1894. There was
a balance of 1857, 032 which he should
have turned over to his successor, but
which he did not. There were seven
teen men on the bond Of Taylor, includ-
ing John Il. McChesney. All the bonds
men were sued in South Dakota n a
judgment for the full amount Of the de-
ficit was entered. 1t was then discov-
cred that by the laws of South Dakota
the treasurer was only required to give
a bond OF $3.50, 600, and after much sacri-
flee the bondsmen raised this amount,
Wnlcn was PAID on the judgment.
The action vas brought here chiefly
to ecove the remaining $780, 600 liabil-
ity, n McChesney fought it. He set
up that all the claim that the state
could have against him had been salts
fed by the payment of $3.50, 900. on the
argument of the demurrer interposed 10
this part of the answer 1t vas claimed
that outside Of this state the majority
of the authorities hold that no further
liability is incurred by bOndsmen thar
the amount Xed by statute for a bond,
although a higher bond Ike given. In
his state even the counsel for the plain.
tiff admitted the law is not settled. The
state of South Dakota contended that
the second defense was not well taken.
Justice Beekman decided that it is q
proper defense.
