NEW YORK DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK Oct. THE dry goods situa-
ton is strengthened to some degree by the re-
ports of injuries to the cotton crop. The mills
have ordered agents to nod Tor better prices
on some lines of staple cotton goods, but in
many grades the market is still in favor of
buyers. Print cloths are somewhat sitter
from similar causes, though there is no open
advance as vet Woolen goods in both fab
rics were strong, without feature. The Car-
ket for dress godds is not as satisfactory as
it should be- Silks are strong and in steady
demand. With jobbers, locally, there is quiet
demand for goods, but a better relative dis
tribution in other parts of the country is re-
ported Retailers report business We" sus-
tanned in all seasonab-e lines. Collections con
tinue good. The effect of yesterdays Jewish
holiday has been stutifying. There is little
to be expected during the rest of the week

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. THE movement of
today in the wheat market was rather curl
Gus and served to prove, so far as it proved
anything, that radical bear speculation is
precarious. The opening was lower, with
the tendency to weakness, and apparently
on the verge of Generalization, but recov-
cred and ruled comparatively steady for a
while. The trading was only moderate up to
mid-session, including limited buying orders
About II a. m. the market took a sudden
turn for the better and in a very few min
utes scored an advance of ale for December
and May futures, after which the market
steadied again and ruled very stubborn Up
to noon, with every indication that prices
would go still higher.

KANSAS CITY. Oct Although
detectives of both Kansas City and
independence have worked hard today
to gain some cleW to the robbers who
last night stoppedfan Alton train near
Evanston, a suburb, their success has
proven Indifferent. One Of the robbers
is described as tall, wearing a white
hat and light coat and the dynamite
ard masks discarded by the men have
been found Nothing more tangible,
however, has come to light. Because
of the big crowds attending the car
nival the men would have ample op-
portunity to escape detection. Chief
of Police Hayes expressed the belief
that the robbers are local men.

Void Under Antitrust Act.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Oct. THE
Gottschalk company, of Baltimore, to-
day filed a bill in equity in the United
States circuit court in this city against
James Hartley, trustee, and the
Mutual Distilling company, of Union
town, KY, which has an office in Phil
adelphia, asking to have declared void
an alleged pooling agreement of the
whisky trust, upon the ground that it
is in restraint of trade, etc. In it it is
related that the Gottschalk company in
July, 1891, purchased for $500 fifty
shares of the capital stock of the Nut
ual Distilling company of the par
value of $100 per share. After various
allegations with regard to the non-ful-
fillment of certain parts of the agree
ment, the complainant company
charges that the contract is void be-
cause it is contrary to and against the
policy of the law as being in restraint
of trade

The farmers have more to gain
by the improvement of highways
than any other large class of peo-
pile. Preachers, doctors, mail driv-
ers and travelling agents are small
classes who individually have a
large concern in the state of the
roads, but collectively do not suffer
privations at all comparable to that
which the farmers endure by. reason
of bad roads. The produce which
the farmer sends to market is haul
ed to town or taken to the railroad
station over the country highway.
The goods he purchases for his own
use must be conveyed part of the
distance to his home over this
route. He drives his family to
church, or to town, or visits the
neighbors over such roads as are
provided in his district. If the
road is bad one he can only take
half load when he is carting pro-
duce, and can only travel at a slow
pace when he drives. His toll is
increased when he works, his pleas
ure diminished; his horses suffer;
his wagons and carriages have a
shorter lifetime than if his district
were provided with a firm and
smooth highway. 1t might be pos
sible to compute the aggregate loss
to the country in time and property
through the bad condition of the
roads of the country. 1t would not
be easy to estimate the loss of COM
fort and pleasure, or to appraise the
consequences of loss of temper and
of health.
