London. Oct. 2l.-Ope of the most no.
table speeches of last week was delivered
by Sir Robert Clifton, the noted statistician
and former president Of the Statistical go
ciety, before the Manchester Statistical
society, upon the population OF the
world. He declared the growth of the
United States compelled her recognition
as the most powerful state in the world
so far las population and resources were
concerned. He pointed out that the
United States recently had greater popu-
lation than any European state, for Great
Britsin's strength might be considered di-
minished rather than increased BY the
acquisition Of large territories, while the
units of the Russian population were go
inferior that the pre-eminence of the Unit
ed States is not questioned. According to
Sir Robert there are now only four great
world powers. the United States, Great
Britain, Russia and German, with France
a doubtful fifth. He expressed the belief
that the ayellow peril" would vanish,
as the yellow races were being outnum-
bered by the Europeans, which in another
century would number 2,O00, 100000.

policy toward maintaining undiminished
the territorial condition Of the Chinese en-
pire. 1sH q

ing use of tLs complications in China in
order to obtain under any form whatever
such territorial advantages, the two con-
tracting parties reserve to themselves the
right to come to preliminary understand
| ING regarding the eventual step to be taken
for the protection Of their own interests

,"Fourth--,The two governments will
communicate this agreement to the other
powers interested, especially Austria Hun
gary, France, Italy. Japan, Russia and

cept the. principles recorded in it."

Trade Report.

New York-R. G. Dun & Co.'s Week
ly Review of Trade for last week says:
A settlement of the coal strike salts
factory to all interests having been ef-
fected. business breathes more freely
in the east and distribution Of mer-
chandise is increasing slowly, though
the election keeps new buying in many
lines down to wants for immediate con-
sumption. In the west there is not
the same hesitation. and there, as well
as in the south, the marketing Of, the
crops is responsible for a feeling of
much confidence. Prices of commodi-
ties are weaker and the caution SO
gratifying in presidential year keeps
speculation at a minimum. Cotton fur
ther declined, making the loss about
Sc bale in two weeks. Planters are
rushing work and picking is expected
to progress rapidly enough to save
most Of the crop from an early frost
High prices make it possible to pay
good wages to pickers and the move
ment at receiving points increase:
largely. Domestic spinners are mo-
liberal buyers but exports are only
slightly smaller than. year ago. se
Wheat has shown more weakness
due in part to the greater activity a
Russian ports and Atlantic exports To-
the week were only 2,647,235 bushels
against 3,270,226 year ago.
| Few fluctuations occurred In iron ant
steel, but there were advances in Bes
semer pig at Pittsburg and billets a
Philadelphia. Moderate gains are re
ported in the volume Of transactions
although the tendency Is to delay larg
contracts few weeks. Implemen
makers take near iron freely and OF
ders for pipe are urgent, with sever
weather coming on. Structural shape
are taken for foreign points as far dis
tant as Egypt and domestic builder
buy freely. More mills have gone int
blast and the general tone Is improy
/ ing. Production Of coke has increase,
but prices are easy and many mill
are still idle. 1t declined again, max
ing decline OF 6 cents from the higl
point in July,
Leather and hides are steady and sci
very Wcli. JOUUcTS are plhCluS ldI6
orders with manufacturers and the dc
mand is. no longer confined to fal
goods. Spring contracts are increas
ing at an encouraging rate, although
an effort is made to keep these sale
as quiet as possible owing to the el
feet on. the market of raw material.
While woolen mills are not working
at full capacity, more seasonabl
weather has increased buying in thi
line and purchases of wool at the thre
chief eastern markets are $4,000
pounds, the best total for long tim,
although still, far below the amour
taken through speculative activity
year ago. Prices are steady and hol'
ers show no less confidence.
