BRADs vREET'S REPORT.

New York. Sept. 22.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: Satisfactory trade
and price conditions apparently still
reign. So few in fact are the reports Of
poor trade that favorable reports may
be said to be almost unanimous. An ex-
banded volume of fall trade is indicated
by the aggregate of bank clearings for
the week though reports from some
markets point to the greatest rush
being over. Prices as a rule maintain
all their former strength, decreases
being few and relatively unimportant.
In several lines, notably the cereals,
cotton, petroleum, iron and steel, the
tendency has been toward higher lev
els.
Cotton has bean notably strong. Short
crop estimates are becoming more gem
orally current and bearish and estl-
mates of maximum yields have been
practically discarded more especially

spinners are heavy buyers at the south,
and domestic manufacturing conditions

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Sept. 22.--The recuperative
tendency on the stock market gained
decided force during the progress of to-
days trading. The uneasiness abroad
was an element at the opening, and
changes were small and irregular and
the tone of the speculation hesitating.
Anaconda was notably affected by
disappointment Of British holders over
the amount of the dividend, and
dropped nearly three points from yes
terday's closing level here. The pres
sure against American Tobacco was
also in evidence, and Brooklyn Transit
had a struggle to overcome its open
ing decline The latter eventually
moved upward, and though it fell once
again below last nights level, its adj
vaneing tendency afterwards was a
stimulating influence on the market
throughout the day. The stocks of New
York city corporations showed close
sympathy with the movement in Brook
Ign Transit and many rumors were
prevalent to account for the movement
pointing to a plan of unity of control
of all the public utilities in the greater
city of New York.
The fact that the interests which have
been in conflict with the local gas war
are more or less identified with the var
ious traction companies gave color tn
the rumor Net gains in this group,
including Manhattan, Metropolitan
Street Railway, Brooklyn Transit Con-
solidated Gas and Brooklyn Union Gas,
ranged from IL to 5 points. The move
ment in the specialties was most con-
spicuouS throughout the day, but a
rather notable demand sprung up for
the railroads, attracted by a sudden
rise in Omaha Of IA, in Northwest of
4, and in New York Central of IL.
The gains were not maintained but
there was notable buying all day o.
Southern Pacific and the Grangers One
or two of the Southwestern group adj
vanoed well. The movement in the
railroads did not extend far outside
these limits, except for some obscure
stocks. Peoples Gas was strong in
sympathy with Brooklyn Transit, ard
there were good advances in Sugar and
Tenn essee Coal. American Hoop and
Federal Steel showed strength, AID
Pullman rose IL on news of an extra
dividend. There was very heavy de-
manG in the last hour for leather stocks
which was material factor in over
coming the reactionary tendency of the
market. United States Leather, COM
mon, advanced to 1512, and the pre-
ferred to 79%. closing at the top. TIE
general market closed steadily under
this sustaining influence, somewhat be-
low the best. Speculative opinion was
inclined to look for a favorable bank
statement tomorrow, and was much
cheered thereby.
The bond market was moderately ac-
tive, and prices advanced in sympathy
with stocks. Total sales, par value, ST.
245.o00. United States old As. registered
advanced "a in the bid price.

Money seemed to offer freely at per

shares held steady to firm with slight

hardly has inspired much new buying
of Combine stocks, but undeniably the
action has relieved the strain on the
minds of many and has induced conf

When Magistrate Cornell committed her

her eyes were black from having fallen

FACTS FROM TALLUTA.
Secretary of Italian Embassy Re-
turns From Louisiana

VI AtuAAah embassy He-
turns From Louisiana.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-Marquis Ro-
mano, secretary of the Italian embassy,
arrived here today from Louisiana, where
ne has been making a personal investiga-
ton OF the lynchings there, and reported
at the embassy to Count Vinchi, the Itali-
an charge d'affaires. The two went over
the marquis trip, much personal observa-
ton being given in addition to the facts
stated in the formal report.
Marquis Romano laid special stress upon
the point that his information was not
drawn from Italian sources, or friends
of the dead men, who might be biased in
their feeling, but that all his findings
were the result of information from
American citizens living near the scene
OF the lynchings. The Italian authorities
regarded this as relieving the report from
the charge that it is an exparte state
ment from prejudiciaI sources.
AS to the citizenship Of the victims, the
f1ndigs of Marquis Romano are that all
five were Italians. But as to this the
italian authorities concede that in view
of Gov. Fosters report that three Of the
men were naturalized Americans, the mat
ter is open to doubt, and is yet to be
established beyond all question.
Acting Secretary of State Adee gave
some time today to going over Marquis
Romano's report which is in Italian, and
was read by Mr.. Adee before being turn
ed over to the translators.
