TRADE REVIEW.
to Two Leading CONNER
ciaI Agencies.

New York. Oct. 13.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review OF Trade says: More sea
sonable weather had important influence
throughout the country, but the coal strike
continued as the restraining factor in bust
ness. As speculation everywhere is on a
small scale the effect is minimized. LOwer
prices recently for some iron products
have been without disturbing force, and
the frmer market for print cloths, and
strong quotations for lumber, show that
in some directions in the great industries
a small increase in demand is capable of
raising prices. The situation still prom
ises a recovery when politics and strikes
are settled. Distribution of merchandise
at the west is still very active. The work.
ing force is increasing steadily, and in rail-
road and manufacturing circles In the mid
die west scarcity of labor is causing uneasi-
ness. Fear of tight money has made some
men hesitate, but higher rates result from
the activity of the movement OF cotton
at high prices in the south. At the moment
the movement Of gold from Europe has
tended to relieve the tension in New York,
and gold is still coming from Australia"
Failures for the week were 225 in the
United States, against 1874 last year, and
81 in Canada, against q last year"
Bradstreet's says: Though some meas
ures of business volume and value make
unfavorable comparison with a year ago,
and speculation is certainly on a reduced
scale in nearly all lines, other registers of
trade activity are still very favorable, and
il is hard to resist the conclusion that, with
a few notable exceptions, the actual bust
ness of the country Is, as q rule, fully equal
to, if not slightly in excess of the CORE
spending period Of 1893, This, too, is the
case in spite of the distinctly represslve
tendency exercised by the present presi-
Dental campaign. Prices Of stapl as a
whole are firm. after a sustained advance
for a month past, succeeding a summer of
quiet s~teadiness, and the unhealthiness of
the short side in speculation has been
brought fOrCibly to the attention Of deal
ers In a number Of staples, notably hog
products and fax seed. The even; If the
week in the iron ard steel trade has been
the taking Of 10000 tons Of rails by the
Pennsylvania at SIG per ton, announced on
Friday. This action, which will probably
be followed by other companies, disposes
Of the steel rail puzzle satisfactorily to
the rail makers and constitutes another
element OF strength to the industry gencr-
ally"

An Ice Famine

There is an ice famine in the city
of Oskaloosa. Fred Blattner is out
and has been compelled to discon-
tinue all his private con rumers. The
same thing is true of Lon Mobley.
Their supply of ice has been ex-
hausted and it is impossible to get
more.
There has been an unusual demand
for ice this summer on account Of
the length and the excessive heat OF
the season and the consumption of
ice has been something enormous in
the city There is no ice to be had
in the country and unless the cooler
weather comes in the near future
there will be a serious condition of
affairs for the meat men and those
having cold storage plants. Mr..
Blattner has a few tons that viii be
consumed in the cold storage plants
and it is impossible to obtain more.
Mr.. Mobley states that he will be
able to get a little from Des MONIES
after to-day.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 15.-The follow

j. A. Edgerton, the secretary, is given
out by the peoples party national
committee:
Bryan will be elected; he has lost none
of the support he had in 1896 except a few
silver republicans in the mountain states.
OF these there will not be enough to af-
feet a single electoral vote. He will hold
his own west of the Mississippi and will
carry every state in that region that he car
ried in 1896, with the possible exception Of
Wyoming. He will gain heavily in the
central west and east. He will not only
have all the democrats and populists who
supported him in 1896, but, added to these,
he will receive the votes of a large number
of gold democrats and former republicans
who have left their party on the issues
of imperialism and trusts.

certain to cast their electoral votes for
