CHECKED BY YELLOW FEVER.
Little Business Transacted in the
Sonth on Account OF Quarantines.

NEW YORK, Sept. A.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: There is a check to the
inward sweep of demand in staple lines
noticeable throughout the country for the
past six weeks. The yellow fever quaran-
tine, which extends from Texasxto Georgia,
has brought wholesale business to a prac-
tical standstill throughout the greater por-
ton of the region embraced by the gulf
States. At centers of distribution in CEN
trail Eastern and Western States, the re-
cent activity in dry goods, hats and hard
ware had fallen off, but at the Northwest
and on the Pacific coast buying by interior
merchants and the free distribution of
merchandise continue to be features. De-
mand for heavy textile fabrics has been
stimulated by colder weather and St Louis
merchants say the yellow fever scare will
have no effect on trade at that city, as
Southern merchants had supplied them
selves there before the quarantine was en-
forced. The outlook for business in parts
of Texas Arkansas Tennessee and Georgia
is for a much duller season than had been
expected.
Favorable features of the week are found
in sharp advances in prices tor iron and
steel heavy sales of BeSsemer pig iron,
steel bilets and rails and a prospect that
iron and steel prices Will go higher in the
near future Wool is also higher and
wooden goods for 1888 delivery are up 10 and
15 per cent with the outlook fayorlng a
further advance. The increased volume of
general trade is also stimulated by the con-
tinued heavy movement of cereals to tide
water, the almost unprecedented quantities
exported each week and the increased num-
ber Of people finding employment IN IN
dustrial and commercial lines as compared
with a year ago. together with the ten
dency of gold to come here from abroad.
Exports of wheat flour includeG as wheat
from both coasts of the United States ana
from Montreal this week amount to o,623, 4y3
bushels, compared with $3.50 94S bushels last
week 3930,000 bushels in the week year
ago 3l51. .000 bushels two years ago. 2,o62O OO0
bushels three years ago. and as compared
with 8 900 bushels IN the corresponding
week Of 1898 Exports of Indian corn ag-
gregated 4022, ZAP bushels, compared With
8 sol coo bushels last week, 100000 bushels
in the week one year ago, 136O,OOO bushels
two years ago 1e4 ,000 bushels three years
ago and as contrasted with $4,000 bushels
in the like week of 1898.
There are 327 business failures reported
throughout the United States this week,
compared with 2S6 last week, 81 IN the
third week in September, 1896, l9S IN 1879,
204 in the like week 1894 and as contrasted

of this city, among other things concerning
the immigration question wrote: Il have
no doubt but that thousands OF the worst
classes of Europe are swept in on US every
year. 1t shall be my aim 10 keep every un-
worthy person out, and TO cause Europe to
take care of her own Anarchists. There
was a time when the United States could
afford a refuge TO the people of the world.
but IL was before the Oncomers became op-
pressors, and when the tide OF immigration
TO this land of refuge was not a tide of
refuse. If they are oppressed al home let
them dethrone their oppressOrs there and
establish governments of the people. for

Anarchists are born and bred beneath the
fostering wing Of il-governed lands let
them remain at home 10 wreak vengeance

The letter complains Of the laxity in the
present naturalization laws. and suggests
that stricter measures be adopted.

PEARY'S NEXT TRIP.
The Explorer Discusses His Plans, and
Says He VIII Reach the Pole.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. A.-Lieutenant
Peary, the arctic explorer, arrived in this
city last night. Early this morning the ex-
plorer was driven to the League Island
navy yard, where he said he was going on
official business. When seen upon his re-
turn from the navy yard Lieutenant Peary
said: I'm addition to securing the meteorite
laid the plans for next years expedition,
and when / leave again, which will be
about the end of next July it will be to re-
main up there until / reach the pole or lose
my life in the attempt, if it takes five years
to accomplish this object Next summer /
shall take my vessel up to Sherard Osborne
fjord and make that place my base of sup
plies
"On the last trip I made arrangements
with the arctic highlanders, tribe of
Esquimaux, consisting of 230 men, women
and children, known as the most northerly
tribe Of human beings on the earth, to put
in this coming winter obtaining bear, seal
and deer skins for our clothing and in Sc
curing all the walrus meat they can for dog
food have singled out eight young men
of the tribe, with their wives, canoes, dogs
sledges and tents, to accompany me to
Sherard Osborne ford, which is about
three hundred miles further north than
their present abode. NV nartv will consist
of a surgeon, possibly another white man
and myself: the rest will be Esquimaux.
The latter know how to drive dogs, they
can go hungry and know how to get food.
The conditions under which ] shall make
the coming expedition are of the most sat
isfactory character. The American Geo
graphical Society has assured me $50 900 to
meet all expenses and / have been given
five years leave of absence. / shall prob
ably buy a new ship for next year, though
we may use the Hope again. Mrs. Peary
will not accompany me.
II am quite sure that I shall succeed in
reaching the pole. Nansen got within 26O
miles of it, but Andree did not have one
chance in one thousand when he started to
drift over the pole. do not think Andree
will accomplish anything, and he may have
lost his life long before this in his at
tempt.

there of black vomit on Aug. 16. lie was
