Pittsburg, Oct. 1.-The business men of
this city, aided by their associates in Car
nett and Fort Scott and the Commercial
club Of this city, as we'll as the strong or
ganization known through out the state
the Topeka Commercial club, have
combined in effort to induce the Mis-
souri, Pacific to put on a passenger train
and operate it daily between this city and
Topeka.
The business men of this city have been
clamoring for better service to Topeka for
several years, but their efforts have been
unsuccessful. Now the combined forces
from the various towns have hopes of sue
cess and it is said the company has al
ready intimated a favorable considera-
ton of the project.
Secretary Sanders of the Pittburg Com
mercial club has received from Major T.
J. Anderson ofTopeka assurance of hearty
cooperation on the part of the Topeka
business men. Major Anderson's letter is
in direct line with the effort being made
upon the idea that such a service would
benefit all of the towns along the route
and would prove successful so far as the
financial result is concerned.
Major Anderson also says that a petition
is being circulated and generously signed
by the business men of Topeka and will
be presented to the company next week.

about $22, SIS, OOO No report covering
the exact month or quarter is possible
this week for a journal which must go
to press on Friday, the 3Oth, but the re-
turns indicate a smaller aggregate of
failures than in any other month in
many years except in August of this
year and smaller for the quarter than
in any quarter since 1892. In fact, ex-
cepting one quarter in that year no 9TH
er appears to have shown a smaller ag-
gregate unless more than ten years ago,
when the volume Of solvent business
was very much smaller than it is now.
Evidently the complete returns to be
given next week will show that the

satisfactory than it has ever been I'm

more successful early recovery might
seem probable, but the heavy fall in

goods, causing buyers to expect still
lower prices for cotton, although since
the decline last week, goods now aver
age lower than ever before While
the sta gnation in wool continues and sales
are smaller than in the same month in
