nradstreet,s RexIer


 New York. Sept. 24-Bradstreet to- morrow will say:
 There is a check to the sweeping de- mand in staples noticeable throughout the country for the past six weeks. The yellow fever quarantine, which extends from Texas to Georgia, has brought wholesale business to a practical stand still throughout the greater portion of the region embraced by the Gulf states. At centers of distribution in eastern, middle and central western states the recent activity in dry goods, hats and hardware has fallen off, but at the northwest and on the Pacific coast buy ing by interior merchants and the free distribution of merchandise continue to be features. Demand for heavy textile fabrics has been stimulated by colder weather, and St. Louis merchants say the yellow fever scare will have no ef- rect upon trade at that city, as south ern merchants had supplied themselves there before the quarantine was en- forced. The outlook for business in parts of Texas. Arkansas, Tennessee and Georgia is for much duller sea- son than had been expected. 1a a
 Favorable Features of the week are fotfhd in sharp advances in prices for iron and stael, heavy saiBes of Bessemer pig. iyon, sbsal billets and rails and 8 prospect that iron and skeel prices will go higher in the near future Wool is also higher and wooden goods for 1898 delivery are upo 10015 per cent, with the outlook favoring a furthsr advance Tha increased volume of general trade is also stimulated by the continued heavy movement of cereals to tide water, the almost unpreeedentIIy lartge quantities exported each week and the increased number of people finding employment in industrial and commercial lines as compared with a year ago together with ths tendency of gold to come hers from abroad.
 Exponts of wheat (hour included as wheaD from both coasts of the United States and from Montreal this week amount to 96234 493 bushels compared With 6,269,94S bushels last week, 3930 900 bushels in the week a year ago, 3,151, ,000 bushsas two years ago, 2,562,000 bushsls three years ago and as compared with S,490000 bushels in the corresponding week of 1893.
 Exports of Indian corn aggregated A. 027,142 in the week one year ago, 1,36O,- 900 bushsls two years ago, ,04O, 900 bush els three years ago and as contrasted with s13.O00 bushels in the like week of 1893.
 There are 237 business failures report ed throughout the United States this week, compared with 2S6 last week, 321 in the third week in September, 1896, 19S in 1895, 204 in the like week in 1894, and as contrasted with 232 in th+ cor responding period in 1893.
 There arc 35 business failures report ed throughout the Canadian Dominion this week, against 36 last week, 34 in the week year ago, and 35 in thsc orre- spending week of 1895.

LIKE H00DLUMS,
The Austrian Unterhaus Members Acted, and
 the President Ordered Adjournment.

Vienna, Sept. 24.-There was renewed excitement in political circles over the president of the cabinet in the unterhaus replying to a question of a member yesterday if 1t was true that there were sixteen policemen disguised as attendants in the unterhaus. He said that no policemen were present and that only a few of the attendants who had formerly been policemen were in the house.
 The motion of the president to proceed tomorrow to the election of Austrian representatives of the delegations was adopted by vote of 260 to 110 after a long tumult in which Herr Schoenerer's 8 party. the pan-Germaic wing of the op- position. attempted to bring about the postponement of the matter until the proportions of the common expenditure of Austria and Hungary are fixed.
 The tumult became so great that the president closed the sitting, declaring that 1t was impossible to transact busi- ness, and added that he would communal cate in writing the order of the day for the next sitting.

fAs Seen in London

London, Sept. 24.-The Morning Post publishes two column article compar- ing the military and naval forces of Spain and the United States. The writer concludes as follows: "In the event of war victory would rest with the power having the largest reserve forces. The United States even with temporary defeat could afford to wait while delay would be fatal to Spain, even if it brought with 1t temporary victory. Nevertheless if war broke out some portions of the American sea- board would undergo unpleasant experi- ences."

One Side Claims Fraud Used to Obtain Con-
 T tro of the Line.

Washington. Sept. 24.-The hearing be-
 fore Hon Kerr Craig, the special mas ter appointed by Judge Simonton of North Carolina to take testimony on the
 charges of fraud in connection vii h the
 geake of the North Carolina railroad by
 the Southern, was contnued here today. Several officers of the Southern railroad
 and "a former auditor of lthe Richmond
 arid Danvile were subpoenaed by coun-
 sel for the state Lo produce books and
 vouchers, which the latter claim con-
 tain entries ito sustain their contention
 of manipulation of i.he Southern Railway
 books, but on the advice of the counsel
 for the Southern tIhe witnesses refused
 ito produce the books and vouchers called
 for. The matter was certified to Judge
 Stmorilonis court, where ruing will
 be asked. The hearings wifi be resumed
 at Raleigh, N. C., on the 2sth inst. P. w. Avery of Raleigh, one of the counKehs for the state, tn speaking of the case tonight, expressed tine opinion that rhe charges alleged against the Southern RaSlroad had been proven. In the hearings In New York before MT. Craig he said:
 duced Ito prove that the Southern Rail- way company falsely threatened the old directors of the North Carolina road with the stripping of that road of all improvements placed on it by the Rich- mond and Danville railroad durings its term as lessee, which tine Southern rail- way had no power to do. The state also claimed that the books of the South ern railway had been manipulated for the purpose of inducing the directors of the North Crolina road to regard the latter as having little. or no earning ca- pacity when, as matter of fact, 1t was earning from $2O0,0O0 to $300,O0o in -ex- cess of it's expenses and the amount paid by aihe lessee for the rent The state offered to prove that the Central Trust company. of New York. to which the Southern had given mortgage. had no standing in court in this case as the assignment of the lease of the North | Carolina road made in 1895 to it as trus- tee of the Southern bondfolders was not until four months after the begin ming of this suit. At the former hear | ing President Hoffman. of the various | railroads comprising the Seaboard Air
 Line system, testified that his road had protested against the North Carolina railroad making the lease of 1895. six years before the lease of 1871 had ex- pired, and his company was ready to pay .$4O0, 900 per year for a thirty years lease At the meeting at Raleigh the l state will offer witnesses to sustain the charges that money was improperly spent by the old directors of the North | Carolina railroad to prevent an investi- | gation by the. 1egisat,nne into making this lease"
