A Atrmpltis Ms stery

Memphis, Tenn. Sept. A. - Ralph b. Ward e5 years old, was found dead with a bullet through his heart at an early hour this morning in a house on Hernando street.

Ward, who was very popular here, had been de- spondent of late.

DUN'S REViEW


 New York September 21.-R. G. Dun and Company's weekly review of trade tomor- row will say:
 The strike in the anthracite coal region which has involved about 12O,OOO miners and probably sO,0OO others, Is the over shadowing influence in business. This con- 1ict dsturbs business and interferes with calculations of merchants over a large part of the Atlantic seaboard and is real ly the only tangible check to the general recovery which set in with the last gem eral demand for iron and steel products. Outside of the anthracite industry enforced idleness of hands is an exception and even in the Pennsylvania coal region other em- ployers gladly take on thousands of more intelligent miners. The Goscher Sugar Re- finery closes down on account of the scar city of raw sugar, where all refiners are estimated to hold only 40,000 tons, but the Lorraine Steel Company, idle three months, is starting its furnaces with others to fol- low. Hesitation incident to the Presiden- tal campaign is reflected in bank clear ings which for New York show 3S.S per cent and for other leading cities S.S per cent loss from last year.
 Wheat advanced sharply to S3 cents on Wednesday, helped by gloomy reports from growing districts and free purchases at northwestern cities. Sensational gains in prIce stopped foreign buying, which led to
 
 large as the previous movement. Cotton has felt the loss of consumption, declining heavily both in spot quotations and option trading Brighter crop news from Texas had a depressing effect. The cotton goods market for few days continued the strong movement of last week, and closed less excited, though bare of goods at first hands. Heavy curtailrnent of production is still the rule. Standard brown sheetngs again advanced Ac, with other goods fol- lowing.
 Last weeks improvement in the boot and Shoe market caused an increase in ship ments from Boston to 74,979 cases against 67,142 the previous week. Orders are con- ..ned to fall and winter goods. Foreign con ditions are unsatisfactory especially in France.
 In iron and steel products greater activ- l.y at former prices was the rule. New contracts were for moderate accounts, but a large order for malleable Bessemer pig iron was placed at Pittsburg. Reduction in stocks of pig iron at Southern points makes the outlook more encouraging and a Scotch concern Is only prevented by high ocean freight rates from closing a very large contract for billets. The break in Scotch pig iron warrants has an international sig nificance Puddiers and bar rollers are still waiting their turn for wage settle ment.

have been made to the government,

the need for this money in making
change where articles are sold at 31b,

half cent coin has been in use In Chi

contribute an essay taking the same
ground. In this article, which bears
the title Popular Illusions About
Trusts" the great steel manufacturer
argues that the evils of trusts are gen.
orally self-corrective; that no trust can
live long unless it secures a virtual
monopoly of the commodity it deals in;
and that "the only people who have
reason to fear trusts are those who trust
them" In the same magazine 1.-THE

Little Korea Affords No Field for

In pursuance of the policy now pur-
sued by the Consular Service of as
certaining the state of foreign fields as
opportunities for American labor, cap
1tal and enterprise. Horace w. Allen,
Consul General to Seoul, Korea, writes
for the consular reports that Korea
now employs no foreign military Of
hcers as advisers or instructors in it's
army, and is not likely to do so, owing
TO an agreement made with Russia
when large staff of Russian officers
were allowed to leave. BY this agree
ment Korea announced her ability and
intention to dispense with further as
sistance of that kind.
The many requests from young men
who have recently left the service of
the United States asking for positions
IN connection with the Korean army
are futile. There is no demand for
their services in Korea. There is no
demand for foreign advisers to the
Korean Government. Although two
nave recently died, their places have
been filled, and there is no further de-
mand for assistance of that kind. The
newspaper report that one of these ad-
visers had been receiving a salary of
100000 gold per annum is entirely
misleading: such positions pay from
$3.50 to $3.50 per month. There is no
demand for employees on the railroads
