GOOD FARMING WEATHER.
Iron And Steel Market Conditions
Pipe and Plates in Demand,
WOOL PRICES SATISFACTORY.

New York, Oct. %. r.. q. Dun Il
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says that
contracts for steel rails for the season
thus far are within 80, 900 tons of last
years heavy bookings. and the conf
dencc in an ultimate marked improve
incnt is so strong that all raw
materials are firm, and without any
speculative activity to stimulate them.
| The weather over n great part of the
country has been favorable for agri-
cultural operations, which nre pro-
,grcssing we'll and in the West the
unreasonable temperatures have re-
tarded general trade comparatively
little. as there has been no great slim
illus yet this season.
Conditions in the iron and steel mar
ict steadily improve; orders gradually
swell in volume and buyers make less
effort to secure concessions. In most
cases quotations are not altered, but
there is an advance to $50 at Philadcl-
phia for billets, owing to the better
business IN rails. Pig iron moves free
ly, especially at Chicago, where manu-
iucturcrs have contracted heavily for
finished stuff in excess of raw material
on hand Cast iron pipe is in urgent
demand and new plans for ship build
ing will take plates. Bridge builders
are buying structural forms heavily,
Cotton showed little recuperativc
power after last weeks decline and
closed lower. The loss in price is
$50 bale since October 0, and en-
porters are still holding off. Wheat
also continued its downward course,
owing to the good news here and
abroad. but an encouraging feature
was the accelerated foreign buying as
quotations declined. Atlantic exports
for the week were :.aj3,02S bushels
against 2,:53,6?j II year ago, and
Pacific shipments S7S,0l3 bushels
against G5S,5s3 last year. Corn is
slightly weaker, while pork products !
have fallen sharply. Most other pro-
visions are heavy, but linsced oil rose !
sharply to nc The better tone of the |
boot and shoe market was sufficient /
explanation for the advance in materi
ais. New England shops are buster
than for many months before, but thus
far manufactured goods have not adj
vanced with materials. Sales of wool
at the three chief Eastern markets
continue TO increase, exceeding 1000
900 pounds last week. Prices are not
altered, and bids slightly below the
arc refused. Cotton goods
move rather more freely as the price
comes nearer parity with raw material
but wide shcetings are dull at the ad
vance to- &c.

DRUNKENNESS CURED.
DIR. Kceley's Famous Cure for the Liquor
and Morphine Craving In Kansas City.

DIR. Eceley's Famous Cure for the Liquor
and Morphine Craving In Kansas City.
That drunkenness and the morphine
habit are thoroughly cured by the
treatment originated by DR.. Kelley
has long since been proven beyond
peradventure. DR.. Keeley's theory
that alcohol and narcotic drugs affect
the nerve cells in such manner that
the drug finally becomes necessity
TO them in order that they may per-
form their functions. is now generally
accepted by the medical profession.
The Kelley treatment restores the
nerve cells to a healthy condition, in
which condition there Is no necessity
for alcohol or narcotics, and the cray-
ing which the patient experienced dis
appears.

ADVANCE IN GRAIN RATES.
Railroads Congested-- Must Hurry tho
Winters Coal Through.

New York, Oct. a0.--tirain merchants
in New York were formally notified
that after November rates on grain
shipped from Buffalo to New York
making the rate on wheat cents per
bushe. Along with this announce
ment shippers who offered grain for
shipment between the present time and
November were informed that the
railroads would not contract for any
further tonnage until the date named.
One of the largest grain houses in the
trade said that its business had been
seriously upset by the unexpected adj
vance in rates and refusal of shipments.
Heavy grain acceptances, it was stated,
had to be cancelled because, on apply
ing for rates, none could be made for
October shipment. In justification OF
this refusal to accept further grain
consgnments at Buffalo during the
rest of the month, railroad representa-
tves claimed that all of the lines be-
tween here and Buffalo were 80
congestcd with traffic that additional
grain business could not be handled.
1t is thought that the railroads desire
to clear their tracks as much as posi-
BILE, to hurry through coal tonnage
