REACHED HIGHEST MARK.
Bradsreers Reports That Trade In 0ctobe
Was Beyond Preceden'.

Despite some variation In the currents
Of trade distribution the aggregate
movement continues of immense volume;
in fact, If the aggregate of bank clear
ings in the country outside of the
metropolis Is trustworthy index, as 1t
no doubt is, the country's trade reached
it's highest mark in October. Prices GER
talnly show marked strength in view Of
the proportions of earlier advances.
Cooler weather has been welcomed by
the retail trade Of the country, and some
stimulus has already been noted alike
to distribution and to the confidence Of
distributors. In some lines Of whole
sale trade notably dry goods, there has
been some quieting of demand without,
howevers any perceptible effect being
exercised upon values of textiles which,
in fact, are more firmly held than ever.
1t has indeed been record period in the
wool trade, sales at leading centers hav-
ing exceeded all records for the week and
the strength alike of the raw and the
manufactured material is most marked.
Cotton goods are also very strong,
partly on the extraordinary demand and
partly because of the strength Of the
raw material, impaired by small re-
cepts and growing confidence in ulti-
mate light yield.
The great cereals have been dull this
week with slight variations in prices.
In the iron and steel trade strength
of values is perhaps the most notable
feature, but activity has been trans
ferred from the finished branch of the
trade to the market for pig IRON which
has been very active at full prices. In.
terest in the ore situation is unabatet
and a heavy advance on last season is
regarded as certain.
Influenced by the activity In the boo
and shoe manufacturing and dstribu-
tive trade leather Is strong and tends
upward. and some advances in hides ar,
also reported.
In general industry employment con
tinues apparently general. specially ac
tive features being the textile trades

WAR In THE TRANSYAAL..

Lonoon, Nov. THE war office an
nounced at midnight that no dispatches
had been received beyond those already
made public and that nothing further
would be issued before noon today Thus
not solitary official item Of news has
been posted for nearly "a hours.
This has given rise TO a crop Of ru-
mors that Ladysmiths ammunition Is
exhausted, that General White is NOR
tally wounded, that both facts are being
concealed and that other unlucky hap
penings have taken place. For all these
reports there Is absolutely no foundation.
At the same time the Britisher has had
little to stimulate him within the last
"a hours, except the news of the con-
fident attitude OF the Ladysmith gar
rison, and its slight successes last Thurs
day and Friday.
Advlces from other parts of South At
RIGA are distinctly unpalatable, and
everything points to critical situa-
| ton in Natal and the northern portions
Of Cape Colony likely to grow more
acute until General White Is either re-
lieved or decisively defeated. Nobody
dares to think of capitulation. Rather
than this he Is expected, in last resort
If Ladysmith becomes untenable, to
make desperate effort to cut his way
through the Beers back into lower Nata
and to join hands with the garrison
there, which Is now almost certain to be
reinforced by the first arrivals of the
army corps from England, and to be
pressed forward to renew touch will
him.
1t Is generally assumed however, tina
General White, with the aid of the nava
guns, will be able to cope with an.
bombardment, and the idea that tn
Beers could take Ladysmith by assault
is secuted as absurd. The defense thu
depends upon the uninterrupted working
of the naval guns. Right herdarises tn
important question-upon which the dis
patches have thrown no light-whethe
the naval guns, which themselves onl
arrived at the last moment, have wit
them sufficient ammunition to reply

weeks. If not, it is hardly likely tina
works exist in a small town like Lady
, smith for casting the special shell
needed for the 4.7-inch guns, and, more
over, there is no mention of stores {
, lyddite at Ladysmith for rechargin
these shells.

The Fresh Air Mission that the Kings

RICE IN GOOD CONDITION.
Bulk of the Crop Now Under the
Harvest Water.

The rice crop in the Savannah territory
- reported to be in splendid condition. The
bulk of the crop has been laid by and the
harvest water turned on. The only favor
which the planters now ask from provi-
dence Is a good harvest season without
storms or freshets. If this be granted
they VIII have nothing further TO ask ex-
eept that the market price of rice be
maintained.
Considering the fact that the rice plant
ers had the hardest fight this year with
the caterpillars that they have had for
a numner of years the good condition of
the crop is somewhat remarkable. The
eaterpiilars were unusually numerous,
there having been three distinct invasions
OF the pest, making it necessary on each
occasion to flood the fields and drown
them out. This is the only way the plant
ers have of fighting the caterpillars, and q
Is a very effective one. The caterpillars
were drowned by the million. Their num-
bers were such that a s,ckening stencil
rose from the fields after the water had
been turned on
The unusually dry season is held re
sponsiole for the presence of the cater
pillars in such large numbers The Two
chief enemies of the rice pant are the
caterpillars and the maggots. The former
appear in the dry seasons and the latter
IN the wet seasons. The remedy in each
case IS the reverse of the other The cat
erpillars are drowned out and the mag
gots are dried out. The former attacks
the top of the plant and eats downward,
while the latter attack the root. Some
damage was done in spots by the cater
pillars eating down the shoots, but new
shoots were put forth as soon as the cat
erpillars were drowned out
The rice birds, which arrive in Septem-
Der, levy their toll upon the crop, but
the birds have been growing fewer in
number each year for a number of sea-
sons past and the damage done by them
Is not material Either the birds are being
thinned out by the market hunters or they
are being attracted to the more extensive
rice fields of Louisiana

WILL MAKE A MAY CROP.
Rainfall Was ~ Inch and Far
mcrs viii Be Helped.

The weather yesterday was remarkable
in that it rained. Ordinarily there is moth
ing remarkable in that, but when weeks
pass without anything more than sprinkIes
10 quench the thirst of parching earth
a fall of n Of an inch deserves particular
mention.
People who live in cities seldom realize
how badly rain is needed by the farmers
during a dry spell. The year thus far is
6.A inches behind on rain. and for the past
two months there has been great need of
it. That of yesterday will benefit crops
greatly in this vicinity. though if it had
been a month sooner it would have done
more good
Grass will grow now that it has rained
Up to this time there has seemed but little
prospect for a crop of hay, the ground
being too dry to grow grass. Forage for
their own stock is one of the farmers
chief reliances, and if they cannot get it
from their own land they suffer severely.
Many often make enough around Savan-
nah to sell.
