BRADsTREErs ON THE WEEK.
Lack of Transportation Facilities
Experienced at Many Pofnts.

Experienced at Many Points.
NEW YORK, Oct 25.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
THE first rush OF autumn wholesale
trade Is over and attention is now at
tracted to the movement of staple goods
into the channels OF consumption. Despite
the smaller movement of grain ard, up
to this week, the lighter movement of cot
ton. SO heavy is the volume OF business
offered to the railroads OF the country
that complaints of car shortage come
from all parts of the country, and this
week, Philadelphia. on the Atlantic Coast;
Cleveland and Chicago. on the Lakes; San
Francisco and Portland, Ore. on the Pa
cific Coast, and Birmingham. at the South,
all report transportation facilities made
quate for the business offered In several
lines, notably iron ore and steel. lumber.
grain and coal In the coal trade the
shortage is marked because the anthra-
cite tonnage is very heavy, being esti-
mated at $500. co., or one-ffth larger than
a year ago.
Fall and winter goods on their wRsy to
the consumer have met a check in re-
tail lines. caused by the mild weather,
which has retarded sales of heavy weight
clothing and footwear. Pleasant fall
weather, however has several good sides
to it. as evidenced by the reports that
farmers in the Northwest are completing
thrashing and fall plowing under favor
able conditions. and that the cotton crop
at the South is still making with the pros
poets of a rather better than expected
yield.
Wholesale and jobbing trade generally
is characterized as fair to moderate the
country over. A fair recorder business Is
noted in the Northwest, but trade gen.
orally is waiting the movements of goods
in retailers hands. Collections are gen.
orally good, except at the South, where
the slower movement of cotton has
tended to retard business. AS for some
weeks past, the iron and steel trade re-
turns the best reports, and these good
reports are being prolonged to an extent
which has rarely been witnessed The
largest steel rail order of the year was
placed this week, In all 10000 tons being
taken at the ruling rate of s2S per ton
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
and some other large orders from other
are now under negotiation In
all 1.5000 600 tons for 1902 delivery have been
booked.
Weather conditions have been favor

though it is claimed this Is but temporary.
and the situation at Fall River Is not SO
favorable. owing to further advance In
are fears of a strike. While the ruling
rate is cents for print cloths, 1-16
cents has been bid for surplus goods with
few sales.

The Fight In Pennsylvania.

J The fight for decent and honest gov
! ernnent in Pennsylvania is now on in
| earnest The fusion of the reform
| forces has been made complete by the
nomination of E. A. Coray. independent
Republican, for the office OF state
Treasurer, by the Democratic State
| Central Committee. To enable this ac-
ton to be taken, Mr.. A. j. Palm. the
regular Democratic nominee. withdrew
from the ticket, accompanying such ac-
tion with splendid and patriotic state
ment of the political conditions in the
State which impelled him to take that
course Some of the Quay Democrats
who had been expelled from the com
mittee instituted legal proceedings, and
the nomination of Mr.. Coray, who was
named as PALMS successor, was de-
clared invalid on technical grounds.
He was renominated in such manner as
to meet the objections urged, and has
accepted in a letter that should be read
by every friend of good government in
the United States.
IN stating the issues Of the campaign,
among other things Mr.. Coray says:
year the people of Pennsylvania were permitted
to witness the unfolding of the most lnge-
niously devised and gigantic scheme OF pubhc
plunder ever attempted in any single session
OF the State Legislature. The scheme involved
the purchase Of the organization of that body.
II involved the purchase o! a seat IN the United
States Senate. 1t involved the changing OF the
libel laws for the purpose of muzzling the pub
lie press. 1t involved the destruction OF pop
ular government in cities Of the second class
II involved laying all the real estate oil the
great city of Philadelphia under 'ribute to the
machine Finally, it involved reimbursement 10
the machine and its henchmen for all the time
and trouble incurred by themselves out OF the
assets OF the Cormonwealth-that is TO say, the
taxpayers of the State were to be made TO pay
the expenses of their humiliation and rob-
berry,
The attempt to muzzle the press
failed in the Legislature, through the
Republican revolt against the machine.
The bill by which the ring sought to
control the taxation of the great city of
Philadelphia has been declared uncon-
stituticnal. But the railway franchise
steal went through; the ripper bill, by
which local self-government is de-
stroyed in cities of the second class, in
cIuding Pittsburg, still stands, and the
machine is yet in complete control OF
the II " lCtoih Ni4@N NO--
troll. The stake for which it is playing
is big one, and it Will move heaven
and earth to win 1t has huge ma
jority to begin with, and it will scru-
pie at nothing which may be necessary
TO enable it TO maintain its grip. Its
power cannot in any event be wholly
broken in the approaching election, but
the success of the fusion forces may lay
a foundation for complete triumph
little later on. Even good, strong
showing at the polls, without actual
success, may be a harbinger of victory
the next time. The sympa thfes of the
entire country should be with the re-
formers of the Keystone State in this
battle with a ring that has no principle
but plunder.

At the Court of Enquiry yesterday the
prosecution received an additional jolt In
the testimony of Lieutenant Commander
Harlow, who swore to the fact that In
command of the despatch boat Vixen, on
the evening of July 2, 1898. he delivered
a message from Commodore Schley to Ad-
mIral Sampson. That message notified
the latter of the unusual commotion,
steamer smoke, and fires in Santiago Har-
bor This is piece of history which the
Navy Department has not desired TO have
spread upon the record of the Court. The
Inference is that it naturally calls for an
explanation from Admiral Sampson as TO
his reasons for leaving the feet on the
morning following the receipt of such in
teresting and significant information. sEhe
public is fairly well convinced that, in
the same circumstances, Commodore
SchIey would have had to face court
martial.

Attorney General Knox has not seemed
to be more disturbed about the trusts

Mr. Boissevain, editor Of a paper in
Amsterdam, has. addressed an appeal to
President Roosevelt begging him to me-
diate in favor of the Beers There is
not the least doubt that he would like
TO do so. The trouble is that one-handed
mediation is an impossibility; both parties
must agree TO it in advance. There is
such a thing as armed interference, which
does not require anybody's consent; but
the United States could hardly be ex-
pected to resort to that.

If the Paris treaty was a blunder IL

with the strong hand, but the natives
nush us to the exercise of strength. They
