puN.s COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

4 Very Moderate and Yet Distinct In.
provement Soon In the Purchase Of ma.
tertals-A General Advance In Produce
MISUNDERSTANDING Buying of Wool
COntinuos-Moro Inquiry In Einishe.l
Products Of Iron-Failures.
New YORK, Sept. e6-R G. Dun &
Co. say this morning;
A very moderate and yet distinct
Improvement is seen in the buying of
materials, which stiffens prices; also
in orders for products of some indus
tries. in money markets and in ex-
ports of staples. 1t has started some
important works and prompted few
considerable contracts. While tho
gain in working force is not great it
seems clear that for the first time in
many months there is some net gain.
An important change is the general
advance In produce markets, especially
in wheat, which rose sharply on Thurs
day and Friday, closing 5 Is cents higher
for the week. Reports of crops abroad
were supposed to be the chief cause,
as visible supplies in this country in
creased largely, but for the first time
since July ] western receipts fell be-
low those of the same week last year.
Atlantic exports, flour included, were
for the week a little more than year
ago, for September 1000, 600 bushels
more and q, ,so7, $50 bushels since July
against IA, has, ,3O3 last year. If there
should come an unusual foreign de-
mand it would make great difference
with future business.
Cotton advanced an eighth a week
ago, but lost three-sixteenths, and
with full receipts might have gone far
ther but for resumption of work by
several important mills. Much less
than the full capacity of mills is work
ing, and the demand for goods has
been quite slack, with decline of
sixteenth in print cloths, but in other
goods recent advances are maintained.
Speculative buying of wool does not
abate, sales for four weeks having
been "a. s44, 400 pounds, against %, 1885,
970 last year, but no gain in prices re-
suited. A few of the woolen mills are
resuming, the belated demand for
heavy goods constituting most of the
gain visible, but manufacturers show
confidence that more goods will be
wanted when the future is more clear.
Finished products of iron met more
inquiry and the placing of contracts
for Il, 900 tons of steel for three new
battle ships, for one large building
and for several bridges, explain the
starting of two or three works, but
after such months as have passed
little business is gain. A sharp fall
of two dollars per ton in low phos-
phorus pig and slight rise in gray
forge at Pittsburgh and in steel plates
are the only changes noted in prices.
Tin plates are slightly lowered by
home consumption to So, 55 against
S.. 80 for foreign and tin is shade
weaker at 13c., copper at s1o.75 and
lead at So. so.
There is no change in the boot and
shoe manufacture.
Failures for the week have been as
in the United States against 216 last
year and 80 in Canada against so last
year.

BOLD AND SUCCESSFUL
HOld-up of Chicago Cashier-Wild
Flight for Liberty With the Spoils.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Two robbers late
this afternoon entered the office of the
Western Foundry Co., at the corner of
Thirty-seventh and Albany avenue,
and holding up the cashier, took 81 900
from the safe and escaped. They were
pursued by q crowd which was coll
lected by the foundry people. and were
in fair way to be captured at Thirty
sixth and California, but again eluded
their pursuers. At this place the
buggy in which the men were riding
broke down, and as they were about
starting to escape on foot a milkman
came along. The two men jumped
into his wagon and demanded that he
vacate. On refusing, they shot him,
pitched him out and drove away at
furious pace.
Officers from the Brighton police sta
tion who had been apprised of the out
rage were soon on the scene, and
started in pursuit of the fleeing rob-
bers in patrol wagon. The men
were lost sight of, however, but the
police after following in the direction
in which they were supposed to have
fed, found, nearly two miles from the
foundry, the milk wagon, which had
also broken down.
The entire southwestern police dis
trict was notified and large detail of
officers was sent out
There were five men in the Office of
the foundry when the hold-up oc-
Cured. 1t is claimed by one of these
that the men were former employees.
One of the robbers was fashionabiy
dressed, while the other was rather
shabbily dressed in a suit of brown.
The name of the cashier is NJ. A.
Rourke. The milkman, Frank Ny
hoft, was shot in the leg and not dam
gerously wounded.
The police up to a late hour had Sc
cured no trace of the highwaymen.
Made an Assessment to Raise Campaign
Fund.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept. 26.-The
populist state central committee of
Arkansas has made an assessment of
i've cents upon each man who voted
for Barker for governor in 1894. Barker
received "a, 541 votes and if each one
of the number contributes nickel,
the Arkansas popuiist campaign fund
win amount to 81, 22Z.05.
The object of this fund is to push
the interest of the Bryan and Watson
electors in this state.

Every workingman will appreciate
the force of what was said by Mr.. Bryan
before the Building Trades council at
Chicago.
Mr.. Bryan told the workers that the
menace to labor to-day is to be found
in the increasing army of the uneln-
ployed. The force Of the remarkskl
90 home to every man who depehds
upon his earning capacity for his means
of likelihood. Increase the number of
unemployed belonging to any calling
and the standing OF the employed is
thereby threatened. The employer u
never slow to note the condition OF tine
labor market and to regulate his wages
accordingly.
Through the aid of their organizations
workingmen in this country have main
tanned a wage which has enabled them
to enjoy reasonable degree OF comfort.
But with q constant addition to the
ranks of the unemployed. labor unions
become Ineffective
In the interest of themselves and their
class, therefore, it is the duty OF work
ingmen who are employed to prevent
those conditions which result in forced
idleness. Idleness, as Mr.. Bryan saids
is not inflicted on the human race by
natural laws or by the act OF the Crea-
tor. 1t is the result of evil legislation.

The following dates have been named
by the Peoples Party Campaign Com
mittee, for meetings at the various
places mentioned for the discussion of
the political issues of this important
campaign. 1t is conceded by all par
ties that more importance attaches to
thorough understanding of the polit-
ical situation this fall than at any
presidential election that has occurred
since 1850. Good speakers will be in
attendance and we extend a cordial
invitation to every voter, no matter
what may be HE party affiliations, to
come and see if there are not some
truths they have never known and
which ought to have been told years
ago. Especial invitations are extended
to the ladies':

The Trick of 1873.

But by trick-and | use the word
because it is proper one in this in.
stance-by trick of legislation in
1873 the people OF this country were
deprived of the right of paying their
debts in silver dollars. The words
"gold dollars" were used in an act
passed in 1873. arranging for the
mintage of subsidiary coin, and the
words "silver dollar" were left out,
and by that character of legislation
the silver dollar was demonetized in
this country. From the beginning OF
the government up to 1873 any debt,
bond or note was payable in silver dol
lars. Your bonds, issued by the gov
eminent, were payable in silver dollars
until 1S73.-John A. Logan.

Mr.. Hanna in many cases does not
allow out treasurer to pay at once; he
thinks guarantees are good enough
until the polls shows the actual result
in the town or precinct, but in your
case if you will make known your
actual needs for the beginning of the
work providing you agree to change

followers in you State belonging to

agents will visit your city soon and
will surely call on you. 1t is not our
intention to have any one committed

is telling in the east; most of our
manufacturers have converted their

Weekly Crop bulletin.

Shortening days, lower temperature
light frosts, maturing products-all
these tell us that the crop season OF
1896 is nearly at its close. Some late
vegetables and fruits remain to be
gathered, and in some sections thresh-
ing of grain will continue for two or
three weeks. The past week was, in
general, favorable for farming pursuits.
The drough was effectually broken Oh
the 14th and 18th by general rain all
over the State, which in some localities
was quite heavy. In the Sound coun.
try it measured nearly an inch. Late
vegetables and pastures received the
greatest benefit; threshing was de-
layed. In low lands there was light
frosts on the 18th and 10th, but not
destructive, as rule. Hop-picking is
the leading employment at present in
the well-known hop sections; hop
raising, however, has been largely
abandoned as improbable. The
ground has been put in fine condition
for fall blowing and the fact is being
taken advantage of in many localities.
