THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

Il. G. Dun & Co. IS Review for last
week says: Failures during the third
quarter of 1899 have been, according to
latest advices, 1880 in number, with
liabilities of $40, t16,3 08. While fail
ures are smaller solvent business is
larger than ever before. September is
the twelfth consecutive month in which
the volume OF business, both at New
York and outside New York, has been
greater than in the same month of any
previous year. In these twelve months
payments through the Clearing Houses
have been $50, 600, 100000 against
s6l, 200, 600, 900 in the twelve months
ending with September, 1892, an in
crease of $28. 400, 000, 600, over 46 per
cent. When the tremendous expansion
began men called it replenishment Of
long depleted stocks; then for time
it was called crazy outDurst Of specu-
lation, and when demand still expanded
some permanent increase of business
was recognized as result of increased
population earning better wages. But
the demand still grows, now ranging
about 60 per cent greater than in 1892,
whole population, according to Treas
ury estimates, is l6 per cent greater,
and wages are not over 10 PER cent
greater. A reconstruction of business
and industries, of producing and trans
porting forces, is in progress through
out the land, with results which none
can now measure. att l{lfa
Bradstreet's, in its current issue
notes as the notable feature of the bust
ness situation, ''the strength Of agri-
cultural products, notably the cereals,
cotton and pork products. Fall trade
continues good, though it is conceded
at several markets that the biggest part
of the fall business has been done and
that recorders from now on will cut the
largest figure. Weather conditions,
while favorable to cotton crop HARVEST
ing, are claimed to be hurtful to further
growth, because of dry weather. Wheat
has remained steadily strong, growing
firmer toward the close on enlarged
foreign buying and uncertainty as to
the outcome Of South African affairs.
Systematic strength is displayed by
corn and other cereals. Increased
foreign demand is reported largely re-
sronsible today for the stronger tone
and advances shown in hog products.
Wool has continued strong and in
active demand both at home and
abroad. Some American, buying is res
ported at the London sales, which will
close earlier than expected, owing to
exhaustion of supplies. In the manu-
featuring branch of the trade demand
is reported active. ~ -s99 "

NO WAGE SCALE FOR BARRIERS.
Movement For IL Not Looised Upon with
Favor bv tho Mainrlty Of the Union.

Movement For IL Not Looked Upon with
Favor nv tho Majnritv of the Union.
When the Barbers' Union was formed
year or SO ago, ono of its chief pur-
poses was the elimination of Sunday
work, and that purpose has been to
great extent realized. The organiza-
ton was also for the protection of its
members. One of the things which
we're not within the proposed scope OF
the association was the subject of
wages. That was left to the master
BARRIERS and their journeymen, who
were to make their own arrangements
with each other.
But recently proposition was made
to the union that wage scale be
adopted for iourneymen. $40 to be the
lowest wage paid. This came before
the union in the shape of petition
The feeling of the organization as a
whole may be noted in that the pro-
ceeding was decided to be irregular.
The wage scale was not adopted, and
it is not likely to be. =
In the union are about 80 boss bar
hers and about an equal number OF
journeymen. Possibly one-half of the
latter would like to see the scale
adopted either for personal benefit or
out of sympathy for men who. do moi
receive that figure. But one-half Of
one-half cannot hope TO sway the whole
organization, and the movement will
probably die a natural death.
The question of journeyman's
wages is held to be a question for de-
cision between the employer and the
journeyman. AS one boss barber put
it, BARRIERS are worth anywhere from 81
to S25 week. A man who is courteous
to customers and interested in his bust
ness is worth much more than one
who is like an automaton. A barber
who does not know how to treat his
customers will drive away more people
in week than good one can draw il
month. The cry for scale is largely
from men getting less than $40 who
may have been but year in the bust
ness and want to draw the wages of q
ull-fiedged journeyman who has beer
at it for three years. Manifestly thu
Market street and other CENTRAL,
located shops have better iourneymer
than those in less central districts ant
such men must be better paid thai
those in the smaller shops. The wage'
paid range from $3.50 to SIS q week.

Flames Play Havoc With the Buildings,

road in Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, O., Sept. 30. Fire which
started at |. 10 q. m. today, in the centre
of the freight deport of the Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Chicago d ST. Louis Big
Four railroad, destroyed railroad prop
erty estimated to have been worth be-
tween $500, GOO and $4,000
Large factories between the railroad
and the river, and, on the other side,
the Central Passenger Station, the large
Office building of the Big Four and the
Grand Hotel were in great danger.
Guests of the Grand Hotel were awak-
ened, but the fire did not cross Third
street.
The entire fire department was called
out Whole trains of loaded and empty
cars we're destroyed. An effort was
made to draw burning cars away, but
it only resulted in getting them on the
main track, where they burned and
destroyed the ties and warped the track
so that access to the passenger station
was cut off.
The loss was almost wholly restricted
to railroad property and freight. The
former can be approximately estimated
but the freight loss cannot be comput-
ed for some time. All the records ul
the freight Office were burned and il
will only be by collection of data from
shippers and consignees that an adee-
quate idea OF the loss can be obtained.

PiuE RRhGER.


Deep mournful eyes that seek the ground
The devious path to trace;
The giant form of Lincoln, crowned
BY CromwellAs grosser face .
Coarse rustic garb, of uncouth cut,
That masks each mighty limb;
It's shapeless folds the ready butt
OF. Europe's testers trim.
So much the crowd can see; the rest
Asks critics clearer-eyed;
So rough scabbard leaves unguessed
How keen the blade inside;
The trenchant will, the subtle brain
So strangely doomed to wage
With pestinys still climbing main
The hopeless war OF Age.
His kindred are a rugged brood
That nurse dying fire;
The SONS of Calvin's bitter mood,
And sterner than their sire.
BY faith through trackless deserts steered,
Lost miles of lonely sand,
Far from the intruding world they feared,
They found their Promised Land.
By such grim guardians tutored well
His Spartan childhood grew.
The wind-trail of the fleet gazelle,
The hons path he knew;
The camp surprised at dawn. the rush
or feet, the cracking smoke,
When on the sleeping laager's hush
The sudden Kaffir broke
Nav. once, It's said, when Vaal in flood
Had barred the hunters way,
And mid its swollen current stood
4 wounded buck ut bay;
While some before the brute drew back,
Aud some before the wave;
Striding that torrents foaming track
The mercy-stroke he gave.
A stream more rapid and more wide
His strength has stnmined since then;
Called from the plodding team to guide
The starker wills of men;
Chanced-prenticed to so new trade,
Jinlettered and unschooled.
The clod-bred clownish peasant made,
No less, realm, and ruled.
Yet though that realm he still sustains
Against and Empires might;
And with untiring skill maintains
The so unequal fight:
He buys his victories all too dear
Whose foes has Time for friend;
Each fatal triumph brings more near
The inevitable end.
Hauly the hoarse.voiced guns must close
The long debate at last.
Ere the young Future can compose
Its quarrel with the Fast;
Nntheless. our England unashamed
May greet foeman true
OF her own stubborn metal framcd: "A.
For She is iron too.

ganized effort to let distant friends and

The article by "Interested Woman ~

prompt many Of our worthy lady citi-

our county into the prominence it de-
serves. Increased population and gen.

The EDITORS article on advertising

the case, and we suggest that he set his
plan agoing at an early date. There is
not q man in the county who does not
wish for better times. Many have en-
tirely too much land. Better for such
persons to sell off at low price their
surplus acres than to have them eaten
up by taxes. Let us all, then, do what
we can to improve our surroundings.
Raise good crops, sell the best and con-
sumo the rest. But let US, too, make a
united effort to get worthy people to
settle among us; also let us encourage
every possible enterprise that would
give paying employment to our people.
A long and strong pull altogether

PULLMAN, WASH, Dec. p, 1898.
Mr.. o. III. CULVER,

Roche Harbor, Wash.
Dear Participating to your favor of
the 10th inst. re. apples for Western
Washington, will say: So Iar as I have
been able to observe, there are three
apples that stand above all others for
productiveness and resistance to fungus
under your Western Washington condi-
tons. These are Baldwin, Dutch Mig
nome and Waxen. There may be others,
but it would seem that where so many
have been tried and found wanting,
growers would wake up to the fact that
which happens to be offered in q nursery
mans catalogue.
Leading the list is Baldwin. This
variety seems to stand the damp and
fogs Of the Sound country probably better
than any other. The tree is of excellent
habit and long lived where the tempera-
ture does not go too low It is not q
variety to be recommended for general
planting east Of the mountains, as it is
not quite hardy here.
Dutch MignOnne is a good second to it;
an apple or good size and color, good
tree, an early and prolific bearer, and
usually has few off years. This variety
ouSht to be sodd apps Except it's color
1t takes the place on the west side that the
Yellow Newtown does ON the east; it
seems to resist disease well, and the
habit of the tree is good.
Varieties usually regarded as not the
latest i'll season will do better nnder
Sound conditions the those varieties re-
curing a long warm season; hence, it
will better to plant late fall and early
winter varieties than late winter kinds.
This same rule will apply to pears.
While it is true that you may leave the
apples on the trees all winter in the
warmer parts of Western Washington,
vet the best apples will be found amongst
those kinds that are picked before the
real winter rains have overtaken them.
Fruit hanging in the rain soon deteriOr-
ates. Very truly yours,
j. A. BALMER,
Horticulturist.
