SAN BERNARDINO Oct. 10.-(Regu-
lar Corespondence) The good people
of Highland boast of their gilt-edged
oranges, and they propose to boast of
their gilt-edged town as well. For that
purpose the Good Order league was
formed, and they propose that it shall
not be merely a figurehead. The Har-
lem and Rabel Springs are both situated
within the limits of that district, and
Highland people intend to have some
thing to say about how they are run.

drinking have been served on the one

without even a United States license

Fe to San Bernardino was quite an

pleased with the outlook here as they

cradle benefit to have such company
come to the house occasionally They

New York, Oct. 1S.-The dry goods market is unchanged in all departments. The general demand is of indifferent proportions both dn mail orders and store trading. The market sustains its tone, however, in spite of dull condi- tions in nearly all grades. Concessions are made by sellers only on small lots and without heraading the fact. The dis tribution at second hands is reported fair from all portions of the country except the south and retailers have been fairly successful in selling goods in spite of the mild fall weather which has pre- vailed in some parts of the country. Locally jobbers report busins SIS rather dull, while retailers are experiencing a fair run of business, thus reversing the conditions prevailing in most out of town sections. Staple cottons are quiet in both brown goods and bleached. The print cloth situation is unchanged. The market is rather active at 21ac for spot and future extras. Prints and ging- hams and also wooFen goods show no change.

New York, Oct. 13.--Evening Posts London financial cablegram:
 The stock markets were idle today, except West Australian mines which Were good. The only feature was the sharp slump in Americans, almost en- tlrely on New York selling both there and here, It is supposed the fall is due to forced sales by bucket shops in New York and if the cables confirm this view there is disposition to re-purchasa at the present level, but the market is de- moralized for the moment and closed weak. Opinions as to the rise in the Bank of England discount rate tomor- iEw are evenly divided. A rise to 314 per cent would scarcely affect the mar ket. New York is still bidding for bar gold in the open market.
