BRADsTREET ON THE WEEK.
Business situation Encouraging and

Business situation Encouraging and
Industrial Conditions Improved.
| NEW YORK, Oct 26.-Bradstreets for
tomorrow will say:
Despite some irregularities. growing
out of unreasonable weather conditions,
heavy price changes in leading staples,
or increased conservatism in some trades
as the election approaches, the general
business situation as whole Is encour-
aging, and new elements or manifesto
lions OF strength appear from time to
time.
Perhaps the most notable feature OF
the week is found in the Industrial situa-
tion, which has been distinctly improved
by the apparently official and final action
taken toward ending the anthracite coal
miners strike. In view of the fact that
most of the miners have obtained increas
ed wages, the effect on business in the
producing regions can hardly be otherwise
than beneficial, while the trade at large
must reap benefits from the return to
normal conditions.
"Other lines OF trade which show i'm
provements are those OF shoes. leather,
and kindred products at the East which
are reaping the benefit of better distribu-
ton in the country at large, and rather
more than an average business has been
done in wool at the East, with holders
more inclined to demand full prices for
their products. The continued weakness
OF cotton is an element Of uncertainty in
the goods trade, but the firmness OF these
products In the face of the 10 cent de-
cline in price from the highest is tri5-
ute to the strength of the market as
whole.
1.-THE situation in cereals shows little
of tired out bulls
early in the week. on continued heavy re-
eeipts, and lack of outside interest. and
in corn because OF expected large move
ment of crop to market shortly, being sue
ceeded by some strength due to better for
eign buying at the decline.
"Clearings reflect the growth OF specu-
lation at New York, but some less activity
either in trade or speculation in the coun-
try outside Of the metropolis as compared
with year ago. Raw sugar is lower on
anticipated large increase in yield over
year ago, and coffee is off on continued
large receipts.
1.-THE strength Of demand for finished
products Of iron and steel noted for some
time past, finds reflection in an improved
enquiry for the cruder forms at leading
iron centres this week. The lowering OF
coal prices. expected as a result OF the
ending Of the strike, is expected to meas
urably help the export trade in coal. which
is. however, confronted with high freight
rates. In spite of this 1t Is claimed that
1 200. 600 tons OF bituminous coal have been
sold for export to Mediterranean ports

THE CUP DEFENDER.
Composition of the Syndicate Who
VIII Build the Boat.

NEW YORK, Oct 26.-Commodore Led
yards statement at the meeting Of the
New York Yacht Club last night has awak-
ened a keen interest In the matter OF the
defence Of the Americas Cup. such as had
not been apparent since the arrival OF Sir
Thomas Lipton's challenge.
That the new defender will be sub
scription" boat is conceded. and chief
among the subscribers will be found Cor
nelius Vanderbilt and August Belmont
With these are associated C. L. F. Robin
son, Vice Commodore Of the club; ex-
Commodore E. NJ. Brown, and ex-Commo-
dore ]. Pierpont Morgan. There are others
who are subscribing smaller $4,000 and
$1,000 sums but the full number Of sub
scribers may never be known.
The syndicate was really started by the
action Of four of the chief subscribers,
who came forward and guaranteed that
they would have a defender built whether
or not any OF the other members Of the
club Joined with them in the project. This
guarantee was sufficient not only to cause
pockets to open. but to set the Herreshoffs
in motion. They, 1t was positively stated
today, had their plans for a new defender
ready, and are now hurrying preparations
to begin the work of construction without
delay, the order for the yacht having been
placed in their hands.
The question Of the management of the
boat, 1t seems. has troubled more than
anything else, it being an affair of much
difficulty to find anyone willing to under
take the responsibility. At the New York
Yacht Club last night several members
spoke of the desirability of having Cor
nelius Vanderbilt himself manage the de-
fender.
August Belmont was mentioned also,
but 1t was said that while he could fill
the bill he was too busy a man. And
then w. Butler Duncan, jr., who man
aged the Defender so well last year in
her trials with the Columbia, was spoken
OF by everybody. Mr.. Duncan said he
had not been spoken to on the subject,
and suggested that no better man could
handle the defender than Herman B. Dur
yea.
Another yachtsman said: THE names
were not made known last night because
the amount necessary had not been all
subscribed, and the names of all in the
syndicate may never be told. The money
question is really only tri1ing matter,
and / understand the Herreshoffs are al
ready Mt work"

Turkish paper from Castamboul reports 3
following story, which 1t declares to be
thentic. 1t puts Androcles and his lion complete
ly in the shade: A hunter heard dreadful groans
coming from behind bush. and on approaching
its paw in the air and groaning. On examining
the paw the hunter found that many thorns were
embedded in II. He Immediately set to work and
extracted them, the bear remaining quite quiet.
When he had finished the animal showed its Joy
by dancing round him, after which it 'made
sign TO the man to follow him. and led him TO a
tree. The bear then stood up against the tree
and put Its head into hole, and ''made a sign"
to the man to do likewise. When he looked in
he saw the tree was hollow and full of honey.

pleasure, since to do otherwise would
bring them into trouble with all the An
glophobe elements of their nation. The
British will be duly insulted and enraged,
but it is doubtful il their resentment will
take any tangible form. Nevertheless,
there is possibility that official honors
paid to the Queens enemy may accen-
tuate existing bad feelings and perhaps
hasten the day when it is believed in
some quarters that John Bull and Jean
Crapaud are destined to come to blows.

CAPTAIN PAGE DEAD.
An American Officer in Cuba Sue
cumbs to Yellow Fever.

HAVANA, oct. 26.-Captain Page, of
the battalion Of Porto Rico Infantry, Vol
unteers, died at 1890 o'clock this MORN
ing of yellow fever. The first symptoms
of the disease manifested themselves at
the funeral OF Major Petersen, who died
on October II of the same disease. at
the funeral of Major Peterson Captain
Page was taken with chill. and the
other symptoms were soon observed.
Captain Page was extremely popular
here, not only with his brother officers,
but with all parties of Cubans. as well as
Spaniards. He had perfect command of
the Spanish language, and had an engag-
ing manner which made friends for him
everywhere. He was of great service to
Generals Brooke and Wade during the
early days of the Intervening Govern
ment. and also to the various American
commissions and committees which have
been here since the close of the war.

To the Editor of The Times:
read your editorial on the above subject with
considerable interest and want to thank you
for it. This is common fault among us and the
point is or should be well taken by your read
ers. There is, however, one part and only one
to which | wish TO refer, and that is that the
remarks addressed alone to the Christian
reader Now. my wife, children and myself, as
well rs many Of my neighbors who read your
paper. are heather, and believe that virtue and
forbcarance toward each other should be prdcticed
at home and then toward neighbors. Is this
not true? The Christian wants to cheat out
of heaven, hence only hope is to cling to
virtue here. HEATHER.

Mr. Perry Heath at Best and Worst.
(From the Philadelphia Record.)

Former Assistant Postmaster General Heath.
now secretary OF the Republican National Com
mittcc, says that he has evidence that Aguinaldo
sent communications by mail to Mr.. Bryan.
Nothing would be easier than for a partisan tool
of the Administration in the Postofhce Depart
ment to forge such precious documents. But
while telling his story it would have been more
to the purpose had Secretary Heath said that he
had seen letters addressed by Mr.. Bryan to Agui-
naldo. What is the OF baking at trifes when

was the announcement that Lemuel Ely Quigg,

organization, has. also like Senator Hill. been

had only few years ago been engaged in a
rather desperate feud, and that while 1t was
pending Mr. Quigg had been raised to great
prominence in the party. Mr. Qugg asked
