lassitude and indisposition, weakness, sick
ness and depression.
Headache. backache, and pains in the

General business of the Country Is
Jnprecedeutcd,

Unprecedented.
| New York September 15.-BradStreets
wilt say tomorrow: With comparatively
| little stock or other speculative activity
aud with few strong new features present.
ing themselves, the general business OF the
country goes forward at q good pace AM
in Unprecedented volume for this period
of the year. Fall trade appears TO be at its
maximum, judging from advicss of actiN :
ity and strength of demand reported alike
from Eastern and Western markets and
shared In also by most South Atlantic
and interior Southern States. yellow fever
at scme points resulting in quarantine
regulations has tended to restrict business
a. few markets, notably New Orleans,
while unfavorab!e crop and weather con-
d:tlons limit business at Galveston.
Iron and steel are quiet, but very strong
at the East, Blast furnaces reports show
that the current consumption and lroduc-
ton are not far apart, but production
fails to show the expansion looked for aud
while current work is at the ratio OF H.
100000 tons per year, estimates of the
years production do not run much beyond
10 500 GOO tons.
The notable strength of cereals this week
is shown in corn where pducity of old sup
plies leads TO the rumor OF September
squeeze. Little seems to be noted in wheat
though the government report was tenn
porarily stimulating.
Weather conditions are partially respon-
sible for the better demand for butter.
Crude petroleum is also stronger and to-
bacco and hides are scarce and high. Cot
ton is shade lower on the week, owing
mainly to the failure of foreign spinners
to accept current government and other
advices as to cotton crop conditions. The
strength in cotton goods is, however, not
able.
Lumber retains all its old strength
and some new buying is responsible for
advanced quotations at several centers.
This is true also of most building ma
terials with the exception of brick. which
is rather weak. owing to reported over
production.
Wool is firm at all and higher at some
markets and much interest is taken in
the next London wool sales Wooden goods
are strong, although some manufacturers
complain that the advance in raw material
has outstripped the gain in the manufac-
tured product, A number of mills are
reported to have instructed their agents
that their order books for spring delivery
are filled.
