5000 to 5000 people, 5000 of whom
were veterans from Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, attended the dedication of the
Indiana monuments and markers at
Chickamauga park Wednesday. The
exercises began at ten o'clock and were

tation speech.

mission, received the monuments and
markers on behalf of the secretary of
war. An address was also delivered by
Gen. James r. Carnahan, member of
the Indiana park commission.
Immediately following the dedica-
ton of the Indiana monuments, the
Wilder brigade monument was dedi-
Gated. Addresses were delivered by
Maj. James A. Connolly, of Springfield,
ILL.,; Gen. John T. Wilder, Gen. III. V.
Boynton, Capt. William Rule, mayor of
Knoxville, Tenn; Col. Tomlinson Fort,

NO SIGN OF REACTION.
Demand for Products Continues
Heavy and Prices Keep on
the Rise.

New York, Sept. PR. G. Dun e. Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: THE reac-
ton in the stock market is not sign OF
anything outside that market, but has set
many to look for signs of reaction else
where. Such signs have been hard to find.
1t has been for months a wonder that the
demand for products was sustained at rates
exceeding past consumption in any year,
Notwithstanding the general raise in prices.
But the demand does not appear to abate,
and the rise in prices continues. par
tial explanation is that scarcely any class
of products directly consumed by individu-
ais has advanced as much as the wages
and employment of labor With more
hands at work more hours, and at ten to
fifteen per cent. higher wages, the gain in
purchasing power has been quite beyond
the rise of four per cent. in boots and shoes
this year, or eight per cent. in leather, 5Z
per cent. in wooden goods or 1913 per cent In
wool, and even beyond the rise of II per cent.
in cotton goods, mainly due to the rise OF 10
per cent in cotton. But products used In
manufacturing and transporting have ad-
vanced much more, because of the enor-
nous increase in volume of business done,
and in anticipated business for the future.
Higher prices cause shrinking demand,
other things being equal, but this year 9TH
er things are not equal
when men pay three to five dollars
per ton more than the latest quoted price
for iron products in order to get early de-
liveries, it is because delay is threatened
on works or railroads or bridges vessels
or machinery, promising a net profit many
times the cost of a small fraction of the
material. In such circumstances, as in
much of the reconstruction and expansion
now going on, present cost counts for lit
tie compared with the earning power of the
finished product in time like this.
Failures for the week have been 14 in
the United States, against IT'S last year, and
IS in Canada, against 16 last year"

I'VE Afrikander members Of parliament
thoroughly sympathiZe with our Afrikan-
der relatives in their troubles. While APP
preciating the concessions already made in
the interests of peace, we beg to urge the
expediency of doing the utmost short of
sacrificing independence, to avert the hor-
rors of war. While agreeing that the joint
inquiry proposed by Mr. Chamberlain can
not be asked as a matter of right we be-
lieVe such a commission will provide way
out of the difficulties which are fast APP
preaching crisis, with results which might
prove fatal not only to the civil and free
state brethren, but also to the Afrkander
party of Cape Colony In the presence of
immediate danger and the momentous is
sues awaiting the decision of your honor,
the executive, and the volksraad, even the
risk of being misunderstood is of minor i'm
portance. We beg your honor to lay these
words, only dictated by a keen sense of
our common interests and risks, privately
before the executive and volksraad."
This message, which was signed by
SO members of parliament, received the
following reply from President Kruger:
ST wish you and other sympathizers will
notice, as you have doubtless already seen
by the reply of the imperial government,
that we have, according to your desire, con-
sidered the matter and accepted the invi-
tation to the joint commission Why the
acceptance was delayed is shown by the
dispatches published. 1 wish to thank you
and other friends once more, from my
heart, for the manner in which you have
aided our efforts for pacific and satisfac-
tory solution. Finally, 1 express the hope
that your work and ours will not be fruit
less"

satisfaction that the executive of the
Transvaal had accepted the invitation
of the joint inquiry and trusted the ac-
ceptance would render an outbreak of
hostilities practically impossible.
