AMERICAN PROSPERITY,
The statist Reviews Condition of Trade
the United States

the united states.
London, Aug. 25.-The Statist, under
the caption, American Prosperity"
will say:
There will be very large exports of
wheat to meet the demands of western
Europe. American farmers are dispos-
ing of their crops rapidly and at toler-
ably good prices, and they will be able
to purchase from the East and from
Europe as fully as they have been do
ing this year. The United States has
made great progress of late years in
manufacturing and trading, but it is
still essentially an agricultural country,
and it's prosperity depends mainly on
the harvests. Therefore. fair wheat and
good harvests of other productions
mean the continuance of the well being
of the farmers, who are the backbone
and life blood of the country.
The Statist then adds: Under the
circumstances it is reasonably certain
that railroad traffic returns and for
eign orders for locomotives, steel, etc,
will continue to increase"
The tenor of the article prophesies an
increase of the present prosperity of the
United States.

Portland, Ore, Aug 25.-Judge Gil
bert, in the United States circuit court
to-day, heard arguments on a case in
volving the title to the property of the
Coeur d'Alene Railway & Navigation
company in Idaho. In 1886 this company
entered into contract with one Spauld-
ing by which he was to construct a GER
tain line of railroad, to secure the pay
ment for which two mortgages We're ex-
ecuted. These were foreclosed by
Spaulding in 1887 and 1888 and judg-
ment rendered in his favor and a re-
ceiver of the property appointed
The property was ordered sold, but in
the meantime the Northern Pacific
Railway company laid claim to the road
as the purchaser of the mortgage bonds
of the road and asserted that its claim
was prior to that of Spauding. The
state court of Idaho decided against the
Northern Pacific, but the matter was
taken to the United States court.
Judge Gilbert announced that he
would render a decision tomorrow or
Monday.

department up to this time has accepted
all compromises of banks for the set
