BRADsTREET,s REVIEW.
Steady Expansion of Trade Due to In
creased Wants of COnsumers

NEW YORK, July 3O-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: The unexpectedly early
fall demand for staple merchandise which
Bradstreets announced last week has in
creased and although not conspicuous at
some of the larger Eastern cities which It
is approaching, is notably so at points In
the Mississippi and Missouri valleys and in
the larger wheat-growing States. A special
investigation by Bradstreets this week
shows that increased purchases by country
merchants in the regions specified based on
the prospectively large wheat crop at home
In the face of short wheat crops abroad has
increased business with Western iobbers
from 10 to Is per cent. compared with fall
trade at like period last year. The total
volume Of this new business is not large,
but it is unusual in this, the dull month
of the year, and it is growing
A number of Western implement fac
tories are unable TO fill all their orders
for nearby delivery and one order for shoes
alone at St. Louis calls for $35 900 worth
of goods. The depression among wooden
manufacturers is less pronounced because
prices of cheviots and other woolens have
begun to advance, pointing to profit in
handling high-priced wool. The greatest
relative improvement among the jobbeTs
and wholesalers in various lines is at Chi
cagO, St. Louis, Kansas City. Omaha St
Paul and Minneapolis, although at other
points notably in Texas. there Is a pro-
nounced feeling Of confidence in an early
revival of demand which is already be-
ginning to show itself. A number of large
trunk line railways report that they are
carrying more merchandise now than two
or three years ago.
Fewer manufacturing industries than ex-
pected have been compelled to close, owing
TO lack Of coal on account Of the strike
the principal check being due TO higher
prices for fuel Iron and steel and the
cotton goods industries more unfavor-
ably situated than almost any other. Bes-
semer pig iron and steel billets continue at
the lowest quotations known The latter is
demand which has begun TO show itself
IN staple lines of merchandise. The shut
ting down of cotton mills TO force re-
duction of stocks on hard has already
stiffened prices and with existing conditions
in other lines of business the outlook is for
a better request for cotton goods and for
iron and steel in the early autumn
The most favorable feature Of trade ~ its
slow. conservative. steady expansion II be-
ing based on the increased wants and
larger consumptive capacity OF the agrt-
cultural community, whom the prospect ts
brighter for than II has been for six years.
Practically the only decreases In quota
prices Of oats and print cloths are un-
changed. The list of advances IS longer
and more significant including prices OF
wheat flour wheat. Indian corn. lard su-
gar. live stock, cotton, wooden goods, lead
Exports OF wheat (iour included as
wheaO from both coasts OF the United
States and from Montreal this week
amount TO 2343,e2l bushels. compared with
l.97S 900 bushels last week, z64S,000 bushels

TRIBUTE TO OUR SCHOOLS.
President McI<inley's Eloquent Adj
dress at Ohio State Fair.

Columbus, o., Sept. 4. = President
Mckinley and his party were special
guests of the Ohio state board of agri-
culture at the fair grounds in this city
yesterday. 1t was school children's day
at the fair, and thousands of little folks
were scattered through the crowd.
President Mckinley directed his re-
marks in part to them, as follows:
IF / had been asked to select greeting
most agreeable to myself IL would be that
greeting which the committee has prepared
OF the children OF the schools OF the state
assemb led on these grounds. The presence
of 10000 school children commands our af-
lection and inspires our hope, and L con-
graduate the children OF Ohio that they
enjoy exceptional opportunities for educa-
ton at the hands of the government OF
the state. No other state has higher
common school advantages than the state
OF Ohio. And IL is gratifying TO know that
a half a million children every day In our
state crowd the doorsteps of our public
schools i'm thirst for knowledge to fit them
for the grave and responsible duties of life.
There is one thing OF which the United
States can proudly boast, and that is our
great public school system, where the boys
and girls from every walk OF life assemble
In full equality and enjoy equally with all
their fellows the advantages of instruction.
i congratulate you all for that. l am glad
TO meet these school children here to-day
Children's day IL is TO you now, but In a
little while IL will be citizens day with all
of you. Upon you in a little while will rest
the duty as well as the responsibility OF
carrying on the great political fabric es-
tablished by your fathers and bearing the
glorious old banner they have so proudly
borne in the past. God bless the school
children of Ohio. God bless the school chill
dren OF America, and guide them to intel
ligence and virtue and morality and pa
triotism, and with these elements DOM
mating our citizenship our institutions are
safe and our republic may be glorious for
ever" [Great applause.l
At the conclusion of the presidents
speech he was the recipient of an ova-
ton from the school children and as
sembled multitude. Brief speeches
were also made by Secretary Alger and
Senator Hanna. After driving over the
grounds the presidential party returned
TO the hotel. In the evening a compli-
mentary dinner was given by the state
board of agriculture to President Nc
Kinley and a brief informal reception
followed. The president leaves for

HARRITYS FATE.
Removal from National Com ittce In
dorscd by State Convention.

Reading, Pa, Sept. 1.-The democrat
ic state convention met In this city
Tuesday and nominated Walter E. Rit-
ter, of Lycoming county, for auditor
general and NJ. L. Brown, of Blarsville,
for state treasurer. The matter of the
selection of candidates was entirely
overshadowed by the fight to force the
retirement of William +. Harrity from
the national committee. The opponents
of Mr.. Harrity succeeded in pushing
through by vote of 200 to 1874 resolu-
ton indorsing James NJ. Gutfey for his
position. Mr.. Harrity's friends contend
that the state convention has no power
to declare his seat in the national com
mittee vacant and that he will not sur
render without a fight.
