WIDENING TRADE IN WEST.
Improved Export Demand forAmer-
lean Products, Notably Wheat.
BETTER INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK.

New York, Sept. 1O.-Bradstreet's
says: Trade developments for the
week have been mainly favorable, and
the improvement in general distribu
tive business in the latter part of Au-
gust has gathered force in the first
week of September. Leading features
have been the widening fall trade re-
ported at all points west, south and
on the Pacific coast, some improve
ment in the jobbing demand at the
east, with southern buying a marked
feature; rather better reports from the
two great staple crops of the west and
south, wheat and cotton; improved ex-
port demand for American products,
notably wheat, iron and steel, and cot
ton. and unvarying good returns by
the transportation industries of the
country.
Bank clearings, though broken by
holidays in the first week in September,
is larger than the total for the prece-
ding week.
The industrial outlook has been inn
proved by settlement of the tin plate
scale, the general resumption of opera
tions in the glass industry. the pre-
dicted satisfactory settlement of the
remaining iron and steel wage scales,
and the possibility that recent large
sales of print cloths will avert resort
to wage reductions in the New England
cotton industry. The anthracite coal
trade outlook, however, is clouded by
the prediction that 100000 men will
strike this week.
The iron and steel trade continued
positively cheerful in tone, and large
! business has been and is now being
| booked. No important gains in prices
are reported. Demand is expanding
however-1O, 900 tons of southern pig
being shipped this week, and orders
for twice as much are reported booked.
Iron production showed a further
heavy decline in August but stocks
again increased.
Wheat, including flour, shipments
| aggregate 1878, 100 bushels, against
| 3:42S,373 last week, 4,353, 9O6 in the
cores bonding week of 1899. Corn ex-
ports for the week aggregate 3,162, 271
bushels, against 3,717, 400 last week, A.
Ts6, s7s in this week year ago. From
July to date this season wheat ex-
ports are 80, 317, 1851, against 27,476, 243
last season.

COpn's Hill.

In the northeastern part of Boston,
Mass, is an elevation that became OF
historic interest from stirring scenes
of which it was some time a center
during the revolutionary war. Dur
ing the early part of that troublous
period it was occupied by a British
fort, which threw such an incessant
fire into Charlestown at the battle of
Bunker Hill that the town was set
ablaze. Several of the early Puritan
ministers are buried on the hill, and
the ancient cemetery is reverentially
preserved.

ATTITUDE OF THE POWERS.
France Alone in Full Accord With the
Plans of Russia.


Plans of Russia.
Washington, Sept. s.-The attitude
of the powers anent Russias PROPOSE
ton to evacuate Pelzin is now evident.
The French government is favorable to
the position taken by Russia Ger
many regards the conditions at Pel1in
such as to require the continued pres
ence of the German forces there. Ger
many's attitude, it is generally ac-
cepted, will be concurred in by Italy
and Austria, as these two countries
act with Germany on all political ques-
tions of this nature. England is still
silent but little doubt is entertained
that Great Britain will favor remain
ing at Pekin. The position of Japan
is still indefinite but it is believed that
Japan will not retire from Pekin unless
all the other powers take that course.
Russia has not changed its proposal
to leave the capital of China, neither
have her ambassador or her troops been
ordered to leave there.
So the military situation at Pekin
remains unchanged. General Chaffee's
dispatches make it clear that he is pro-
ceeding on the understanding that the
American troops are to winter in China
and he speaks of the comfortable ar
rangements that have been made for
the soldiers.

Paris SHOW started Late.

The disappointment of the steamship
companies because transatlantic trav-
Ell has not increased as much as they
anticipated 1t would on account of the
Paris exposition, and the suggestion
that some of them may reduce their
rates in midsummer are due in part to
the fact that the Paris show is not
completed. Had the exposition build
ings and exhibits been ready. the
travel would have been much heavier.
