More Life to Trade with the Cooler
Meather-PriCes Steady.

On the wholesale streets more was doing yes
terday than in any day since the hot wave struck
tie city, the cool temperature evidently improv-
ing trade. Prices ruled steady and firm. In
staple groceries especially are strong prices the
feature, and the wholesale houses had quite a
busy day. Dry goods houses had little squirt
of trade Hardware men having very fair
business, selling more goods than at the CORE
spending period last year. Provisions are NOV
ing we'll prices carrying easier tone. The
hide market is active and prices firm. Leather
is active and prices advancing in tendency The
wool market is very quiet Seed merchants are
having good trade Poultry eggs and butter
weak at prices quoted. On Commission row
receipts of fruits and vegetables are still large,
and prices are governed much by the demand
from day to day.
The local grain market is active. Receipts of
new wheat are still meager. Receipts of corn are
larger, and with the better demand for oats
receipts have increased somewhat; Inc uay

This CrreI world.

The poetess lay in Eer narrow bed
and stared with pain-glazed eyes mt
the dirty ceiling overhead. noting, rs
one in a dream, the great holes in il.
and half forming Il wish that ii would
rain no more. The sun was high in
the heavens. With fancy's eye she
could see it flooding hfu anu dale with
golden glory, dispening autumnal
mists in forest Glades, and lending
richer, rarer tints 10 the gorgeous liv-
cry of the woods. In fancy, too, She
could hear the sweet songs OF BIRDS
the merry laugh Of happy children
~gamholing on village green's, and her
whole soul rose in revolt AMI her heart
cried out with its pain. She longed to
leave her bed and be up and away
bur She knew that ii was an ito
possibility.
"Oh," she cried, In her agony Of
spirit, "why don't that waSherwoman
bring my bloomersf' Beating her
pillow frenziedly, the poetess cursed
the day she chose literature for 4 pro-
fession.-New York Journal.

bruised and is thought TO be dying.
Engineer McCarty was severely cut
about the head and neck and suffered
Commissions ON his body. and is thought

The wreck was occasioned by the en-
gineer Of the freight train m~istaking

New Electric Light Plant.

In accordance with the policy OF 9
omy adopted by the receivers of the Bal
timore AZ Ohio railroad an electric light
ing plant has been installed at Ihila-
delphia for the purpose of lighting the
passenger station. yards, freight sta
lions, freight yards, docks. roundhouses,
machine shops, etc. Twice as many
lights are in service now as when the
company purchased the current from To-
cai lighting companies. yet the expenses
have been reduced one-half.
The Philadelphia plant consists OF one
l50-H. p. boiler, two 50-gener1l electric
arc light generators, which are belted to
a 12o-H. p. standard westinghouse en-
CINE. IT took twenty miles of wire for the
overhead construction, and a submarine
cable is used In crossing the Schuylklil
river.
