NEW YORK DRY GOODS.


NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The dry goods sit
uation is a changeabe one just at present
The early buying has been followed, at first
hands, by relaxed efforts on the part of buy
ers and the reaction has now become gen.
eral. Jobbers, too, are beginning to feel
let up in the heavy buying of the past few
weeks. Staple cottons are firm and there
is considerable activity in both brown and
bleached goods without decided increase in
the demand noted many particular grade.
Export goods are still quiet in all lines.

though the sales q of the week have been
light Orders are firm without feature.
Prints remain in goo good demand in both fan
cies and stpales. The market is strong but
it is doubtful now whether open advances are
still to be expected

YOUNG PHIL SHERIDAN.
Not Brilliant, But Studfous and In
dustriOus ut West Point

Up at West Point there is a slender,
smooth-faced young man who is work.
ing day and night to emulate the
glorious record Of his father says the
New York Journal.
1t is young Phil Sheridan" He
is already a soldier by instinct In a
few years he will be a soldier in real
ity.
SO far he has taken but little interest
in the athletic sports of his class
mates. He is not a football player He
is bad hand at baseball He plays
tennis and enjoys it. Most of all, how
ever, he is a thorough student
While not exactly brilliant youth,
young Sheridan is persistent and in
dustrious, and it would not be sur
prising if at the end of four years
study he should be graduated at the
head of his class.
It was not only his own but his
mothers desire that he should become
a soldier, and by the time he receives
his lieutenancy it is possible that we
may indulge in a war with a foreign
power that will enable him to show
his mettle.
Like poets, however, great soldiers
seem to be a question of birth and In
stinct. In this connection a promin-
ent West Point officer recently said:
'It is almost a certainty that If we
were to go to war now, the successes
that we might achieve would not de-
pend upon the sons of our dead mill
tary heroes. l do not know of one
who has been graduated at this col
leee who has shown any especial bril-
liancy.
Sheridan is as brilliant as any of
them. Military genius does not shine
in times of peace, however. 1t takes
war to bring out a soldiers qualities,
and it is likely that in case of an
armed conflict new generals would
spring up from humble lieutenants
who have barely managed to scratch
through their examination

NNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MI:TNEAPCLIS, Sept 16.-Liverpool cables
were higher this morning, but large receipts

than an offset to encouraging cables. First

At this point there was slight rally, with
a quick drop. and another rally Of

the high side of the beam up to mid-session
for efter that the tendency was downward
with here and there a slight squirt against
the grade. The news of the day was much
mixed in character; partly the undoing and
general rricking CT the bubbles OF yesterday.
1t IS learned today that the export trade re-
ports; yesterday greatly exaggerated
but that it nad had its deserved effect,
c.Iustng shorts to run for cover and con-
sequent rise in values when there was no
particular reason for il.

Food That Make. Brains.

According to a celebrated health expert,
blanched almonds give the higher nerve or
brain and muscle food, and the man who
wishes TO keep his brain power up would
do well to include them in his daily bill of
fare. Juicy fruits give more or less the high
er nerve or brain, and are eaten by all men
whose living depends on their clear-headed-
ness. Apples supply the brain with rest.
Prunes afford proof against nervousness, but
are not muscle-feeding. They should be
avoided by those who suffer from the liver.
But it has been proved that fruits do not have
the same effect upon everybody. Some men
have never been able to eat apples without
suffering the agony of Indigestion; to others
strawberries are like poison.

AS Mr.. Tenspot took them he glanced at

would red stamp look on envelopes of that

ANARCHISTS ATTACKED.
They Tore an American Flag to
Shreds.


: CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-Two men, sup
posed to be the emissaries of some an
archistic society; denounced the gov
ernment. brandea-tAe Poles of Chicago
as cringing eoWarCs and, as a climax,
tore a small Aneriean flag to shreds
at Black Hawk and Noble streets last
night The result was a small sized
riot, during WhfclIthe supposed an
archists were kadf4 beaten. Had it
not been for the faet that the horse
attached to thH ght wagon from
which they were speaking became
frightened by the angry shouts of half
hundred Poles@and ran away down
Black Hawk street, the two men prob
ably would have been dangerously in
jured, if not killed outright. AS it
was, a crowd of infuriated men chased
the runaway for several blocks, throw
ing stones and sticks at the half un-
conscious and blood-covered men, who
erouched in the bottom of the wagon,
terrified and suffering from many
wounds The chase was a long one
and lively while it lasted, but the
horse soon tired out its pursuers and
the men escaped.

only two buyers in the market for that
grade. Low grades were slow and lower
than yesterday, No. 8 mostly going at &c
under yesterdays prices. Receipts here We're
301 cars and 62 cars shipped out.
There was a little strength displayed on

that 80 was sure. The fact that something
had been done was cheering, for at present
it all depends on the actual. There is no
speculation. September wheat closed at 92Ac
