Rapid Growth of the New York Mer-
 obants' AsSociat tiOn

Rapid Growth of the New York Mer-
 chants Association.
 New York, Aug. 1S,-The Evening Post tonight says: While interest has been centered in the influx of buyers from out of town into New York, and while the Merchants associations s rooms have been overrun every day this week with such buyers or mer- chants who are members of the Mer- chants association, it is called to pub lie attention that the association itself grown at any time within the period of it's brief but very active existence. The local or resident membership list is now considerably over 700, and this list in cludes men, firms, and corporations in nearly every line of business in New York. Yesterday and to-day, among the banks which made application for membership, were the Mechanics Ma tional bank, Chatham National bank, Garfield National bank, and the bank ing house of Ladenburg, Thalman X Co.,, while among the industrial cor porations which have joined recently are the United States Rubber company, General Electric company. the Amerl- can Sugar Refining company having already become a member of the asso- citation. The nonresident membership list has passed the 19000 figures. Mon day about 1000 applications were re- ceived, Tuesday SO0 Wednesday 400, Thursday 800, and this morning over 200 such applications came in the first mail, making 2,900 applicatio received from Monday till this morning, the nonresident membership last week having been close to 17,0OO
 The association is working right along on the lines laid down some time ago, and is still trying to obtain further ad- vantages or concessions from the diff ferent railway associations of the country in favor of these nonresident merchants who may desire to visit New York for the purpose of making their purchases in this market. William F. King, president of the Merchants as- sociation. has notified Joseph Richard son, chairman of the Southeastern Passenger association, that he will at tend the conference of the committee of the Southeastern association to be held on Tuesday, August 17, at the Hotel Chamberlain, Old Point Comfort, at which conference MT. King has been invited to set forth fully the position | of the Merchants association in mak- ing application to the different railway associations for the purpose of getting reduced rate of fare for merchants throughout the country, who are mem- bers of the Merchants association of | New York.
 The motto of the Merchants associa- ton, or at least one of it's mottos is,
 Keep your home trade,'' meaning that l to apply to the local merchants in all l the villages and towns throughout the | United States. If the local merchant prospers, the railroad prospers; and the i local merchant can be best made to prosper by bringing him into direct and close contact with the great markets of the country.

From Stony Creek very good oyster set is reported. The testimony or one of the oystermen, who predicts no set, Is given as follows:
 Tn consequence of the heavy rains the oysters spawned this season in two WeekS--a much shorter time than usu- al. l know this to be fact because l LOOK up some of my oysters on several occasions for test. The spawning LOOK place before the last two rains, and the majority of the spawn was washed out to sea before it could set. In consequence I predict a very slim set this season. Last year we got a good set, but my opinion is that there Will be a very poor set this summer. know 1t is said that oyster sets have been seen, but I don't believe il"
