NEW YORK, Oct. 15-Bradstreet's will
say tomorrow in its review Of the New
York stock market: The announcement
Of the treasurys readiness to anticipate
all its interest payments for the current
fiscal year contributed, with smaller out
side demand for funds and a decreased
pressure for loans on Wall street itself,
to give the call roam market an easier
tone. The other prominent development
was, of course, the Transvaal govern
ment's ui;iInatum and the bringing of
the Beers to open war The improve
ment in our money market failed, how
ever, to stimulate speculative activity
or to support prices materially. The mar
ket continued to be dull, devoid Of out
side participation, and subject to profess
sional manipulation for the bear ac-
count. In fact, as money became easier,
there seemed to be less strength and
more agsressiveness on the part of the
bears, reading on Thursday to an in
creased downward tendency in prices,
followed on Friday by an increase of
such pressure.
There has been no particular evidence
OF liquidation, and the excellent rail-
read earnings, the disposition and abil
ity of the companies to advance rates,
as well as the continued activity and
industries with which Wall street keeps
in touch, and on which some of its
speculative materiaf is based, produce
good impression, mainly as to the future
of prices For the present the money
market outweighs all other considera-
lions, and the speculative community is
possibly not as fully disposed to eXag-
gerate the bad features Of the financial
situation as it seemed some weeks ago
to ignore such dangers.
While money is easier in London it
has not fallen to the point where gold
can be taken for shipment to New York.
III fact, the Bank of England will GER
tainIy oppose such a movement now.
Large interests here seem unwilling to
take a bulish position in the market
While money is liable to jump again to
T or 10 per sent should the market de-
velop any activity, and when neither
can gold be imported nor can the return
flow of money taken from New York
for crop moving and business purposes
be vet discerncd. The public is also i'm
pressed with the same ideas, and a large
Part of it is so full and profitably en-
pIoved with it's own legitimate concerns
that the outside participation IN the
8 rect is seriously curtai:ed thereby.
The market has, therefore, developed
growing disposition to wait until the
pn sresS of the South African war az
fords sorne idea Of its outcome and dura-
ton until the unlocking of money from
the treasury or the receipt Of gold from
Europe and currency from the interior
checks the depletion of the New York
bank reserves, and ends the calling of
loans which has been in progress for
some weeks past. This halt in the mar
l,et and insensibiiity To the plentiful ia
vorebl facts in the situation has nat
,,reIIv led to bearishness among traders
and to manipulation designed to cut
Gown prices.

ACTIVITY In TRADE
II. G.. DUN & co. REPORT THAT IN
DUSTRIAL CONDITIONS COULD
NOT BE BETTER
DEMAND DOES NOT DECREASE
Actual Consumption in Manufac-
lures Continues to Reduce Stocks
MMteriaIIy-BOot and Shoe Trade
Manufacture Meets So Great De-
mand That Prices Advance.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Dun ( Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
Industrial conditions could hardly be
better. After many months of such
extraordinary buying that it's continuance
seemed impossible, even larger buying
still crowds producing works, in most
lines beyond their capacity: The iron
furnaces are producing II. 900 tons weekly
more than ever before, 27S,G15 tons Oct.
l. and yet the actual consumption in man
ufacture reduced unsold stocks in Sep
TENDER by 1850 tons, while the demand
runs far ahead into next year for many
products. In some lines, however, pro-
duction has SO far gained that works are
beginning to look for orders to cover
next year.
The boot and shoe shops are getting a
little better price for mems kip boots and
women's grain and buff shoes and ship
ments for the first half of October are
the largest ever reported, though orders
for next season are ro tarGed by prices.
Leather is a shade higher, but buying OF
sole has been checked by the recent adj
vance, as manufacturers appear 10 have
rather large supplies, and the Chicago
market for hides, though quoted a little
higher, seems uncertain.
The demand for wooden goods is fairly
large END prices are we'll sustained,
though not further advanced In goods
of the better grades there is some I'M
certainty. Sales of wool are smaller, only
7,473,300 pounds for the week at the three
markets, without further advance. Silks
are firm, and linens tending upwards with
good demand.
Cotton manufacture meets so great
demand that prices advance every week
ard supplies for early delivery are in
many lines restricted. More business is
turned down than is done in brown sheet
ngs and drills, and coarse colored cot
tons are rising. Big sales have moved
great part of the surplus print cloths,
and prices have been advanced for grades
not until recently controlled by the sell
ing committee. The rise of about one cent
in cotton with current reports of short
yield have much influence, and although
the quantity coming into hight Is
larger than last year, it has been falling
behind enough to support the idea that
dealers are disposed to hold it back.
Failures for the first week of October
were $1,6S7,06S in amount, manufacturing
$685., 914 and trading $4OS,59o. Failures for
the week have been 1874 in the United
States, against 25e last year, and 81 in
Canada, against % last year

CITIZENS LOUD ROAR
Because minneapolis Got Everything
on Thursday.

To the Editor of the Globe.
May it be permitted rank outsider,
not representative citizen, granting
that only members Of the Jobbers I'M
len Chamber of Commerce and CONNER
cial club are truly representative, 10
say just one or two meek words from the
standpoint of the common people OF
St Paul regarding the way the Thirteenth
regiment and the president were handled
to the glory and renoWn of st. Paul by
those Representative citizens VINO are
even now patting themselves on the PACK
over the successful manner in which they
succeeded in depriving majority Oh the
people of st. Paul of sight OF the ma
tons chief executive and in steering $1,000
country people into Minneapolis, Where
it is safe to say they spent $500, 000?
The Representative committee conferred
with the Minneapolis committee, it is said,
and made arrangements which were mu
tually satisfactory" These mutually
satisfactory arrangements gave us the
privilege of feeding the soldiers pefofe
daybreak Thursday morning and hurry1ng
them over to our amiaDle and amplelouS
twin in time for the big parade. They
also permitted us to have the president
in our depot for three minutes in the
morning and returned him to us at 8 p.
M for a reception in the Auditorium
where probably $1,000 of our people ana
their children strove in vain to get q
sight of him. 1t was pathetic-looking at
it from the standpoint of the common
people who wanted their growing boys
and girls to see the president, but the
| representative citizens were on the re-
ceDtion committee and saw him, so what
did it matter?
Said one of the committee, when some
one ventured to criticise: why, when we
went over to Minneapolis to see their
committee they would have had row
With us if we had insisted on having the
president half a day." Well, why didn't
they have a row then? They were sup
posed to represent st. Paul. and st. Paul
Minneapolis parade was over, but, 'for
fear of row. the st. Paul representa-
tives" consented to let the Minneapolis
committee keep him till p. m, when
they graciously consented to let him come
to st. Paul. How that Minneapolis COM
nittee must have laughed in its sleeve
at the verdant, complaisant attitude Of
the representative ST. Paul hustlers."
who, rather than have a row." let the
whole state go to Minneapolis and never
come near ST. Paul.
Even the st. Paul wholesale houses
were closed so that all their employees
could go over to where the crowds We're,
leaving the capital of the state looking
like a quiet Sunday in July.
When the president comes again it is to
be hoped that our representative citi-
zens" will have learned that when deal
ing with the other twin many things are
necessary, among them gunption, intelli-
gence and common sense.

BOOMING SeHLEY.

Excepting Dewey alone, there is no
prominent character Identified with the
war with Spain who gives our imperialist
masters as much concern as does Rear
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley.
When the destructive warfare waged
upon him failed in accomplishing the set
purpose of the administration to destroy
his professional reputation, and congress
had, in spite of the truculent falsehoods of
the navy authorities done measurable JUS
tice as between him and Rear Admiral
Sampson, it was believed by many that
the end had been reached of the cam
paign of defamation. But it required the
strenuous expression of public sentiment
afterwards to avoid settled injustice to
the Maryland sailor in his assignment to
official station.
The Dewey celebration has been effec-
tive, among other things, in making plain
to the imperialist politicians the contempt
with which they are regarded on account
of their brutal treatment of Schley, and
the high estimate which the public has
placed upon the valor displayed by Schley
at Santiago harbor.- How keenly this
manifestation of public feeling is regard
ed by the imperialist set is made beauti-
fully plain through the columns of the
leading administration organ, the Sun, of
New York which remains editorially as
rabid in its treatment of Schley as it has
been from the outset. The following ex-
tract, illustrative of this, is taken from
the Suns columns:
The applause and flowers We're be
slowed upon Schley on the fanatical and
baseless> theory that, besides being
prosecuted man, he was the victor of
Santiago, although before him on Satur-
day there rode the commander of the
fleet, Rear Admiral Sampson, and two
captains of the ships. Philip and Taylor,
who, if they were to be compared with
Schley for the quality of their action at
Santiago, would have to receive the SUI
perior award. 1t was a peculiar occur
renee, such demonstration on a day
dedicated to the AMY, for the reason
that Rear Admiral Schley Is today the
naVyS worst enemy.
Rear Admiral Sampson has done much
by his discreet silence as well as by the
excellent judgment he has displayed in
speech since the period of the principal
assault upon his associate to redeem
himself in the public estimation. He is a
gallant officer and an able seaman, but,
having hardened to the siren voice of
the imperialist politicians, he was led, for
the time, to do himself grievous injustice
There is no disposition to minimize his
services in command of the squadron Tor
to cast discredit upon him on account of
his absence upon other duty at Santiago.
In the meantime it is becoming palmer
day by day that, all unconsciously, our
imperialist masters are forcing Admiral
Schley to an enviable place in the good
will of the country. If no other consider
alton can prevail with them to put an end
to their persecution of him the warning
of his daily growing popularity ought to
have this effect.

PALACE CAR CONSOLIDATION.
Latest Rumor Is That Wagner Will
Absorb Pullman

CHICAGO, Oct 13-The rumor that
Pullman's Palace Car company had Sc
cured control of the Wagner Palace Car
company yesterday gave place to a re-
port that the Wagner company would
take over the Pullman company The
price of Pullman stock in the market in
dicates that some substantial change in
the company is soon to take place.
The position of the Wagner company is
quite opposite to that of the Pullman.
The Vanderbilt interest. which controls
the Wagner is. by reason of its railroad
holdings. the largest patron of the palace
car industry in the world. For these
reasons many regard final absorption
Of the Pullman company by the Wag-
ner company as the logical outcome os
the palace car situation.
officials Of both companies deny that
any scheme OF consolidation or absorp-
ton is contemplated.

Our esteemed tmperialist contemporary,
the Courier-JournaL grows sad in the
contemplation of Gen. Otis victories. 1t
quotes a list of twenty Philippine towns
that have been successfully captured and
abandoned by our troops. OF these, six
teen appear from the record to be at pres
ent in the possession of Aguinaldos SOL
diers. One of them, Mariquina, has been
captured six times and abandoned six
times Another Guadaloupe, has been
captured four times and abandoned three
times Passig, a name familiar to all
readers Of censored literature, has been
captured three times and abandoned
twice. Canita, Morong, Novaliches, Mex
leo and Bacolar have been captured twice
and abandoned, the two last mentioned
being, however, still in our possession.
Nacabebe, the only town friendly to the
Americans, the record shows, was taken
ana deserted and allowed to be burned by
the natives.
Havtr~ set forth in detail all these
Pyrrhi- -ictories of the great administra-
ton general and civil administrator, it
asks. in the extremity of it's anguish, the
following series of questions:
What was the explanation of this? DID
the man really believe that he could con-
qUer the insurgents by taking their terms
and promptly abandoning them; or, for
some reason of his own, was he DESTROYS
of pr0longing the war? 1t is admitted
on all sides that the captured towns were
not held because we did not have troops
enough there to hold them and continue
further operations. What, therefore. was
otis object in Directing to reinforce
ments?
OF course it is not within the province
Of a distinctly reasonable journal like

sWer to our contemporary frenzied in
Quiries Ii is but right, however, to sug-
gest that perhaps our contemporary is
not quite Just to Gen. Otis He has his
orders to obey, just as any ordinary gen
eral in the field has. If our contemporary
can show that Gen. Otis has ever dis
obeyed any order he received from his
superiors, he may be regarded as not en-
tirely undesewing of the awful denuncia-
ton visited on him by this stanch admin
istration fugleman. Gen. Otis may be as

1t Is said there were five masked men
engaged in the operation The train was
tagged, and while two of the men COM
PEELED the engineer and fireman to run the
engine ahead, the balance of them robbed
the train The train dispatcher of the
Northwestern road in this city admitted
the truth Of the story to the central po-
lice officials
The robbery was evidently carefully
planned. Twenty minutes before the train
was due at Maple Park the robbers burst
into the station house and, placing revoIv-
ers at the head of the station agent. COM
PEELED him to remain quiet until they
bound him. After tying him fast to
chair, they forced d gag into his mouth
and left him utterly helpless. The sig
nails were then changed so that the train
would be compelled to stop before reach
ing the depot.
The robbers went down the track to
the point where tie train would stop and
waited for it. As soon as it came to a
halt two of the men covered the engineer
and fireman with revolvers, and, after
uncoupling the engine, compelled the en-
glneer to run down the track two miles
They then blew up the express car with
dynamite, practically demolishing it, and
blocking the track. They then blew open
the safe and rified it,
1t is not known how much money was
secured.
Immediately after grabbing what they
could from the safe, the robbers fed into
the darkness. they are now being pur-
sued, but the robbers have quite a lead
over the posse that is after them.

riously wounded in the breast, because
he refused to run his engine from the
train. After shooting h IN one of the rob-
bers ran the engine down the track two
miles, to a switch, where it was killed
1t is also reported that the station agent
was badly pounded up, and was left I'M
conscious on the depot floor when the
robbers went out to stop the train It is
not thought his injuries are fatal but
1t was two hours after being assaulted
before he recovered consciousness.
