TRADE REPORT.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Of
Trade for last week says:
Current trade is of ample dlmen-
siOns, but traffic congestion grows
worse and labor controversies add to
tho embarrassment of shippers. If
consignments of fancy goods for the
holiday trade are delayed much longer
there will be serious loss. Prices of
commodities tend upward.
Activity and strength are conspicu-
Gus in the markets for domestic wool.
Coates Bros circular makes the aver
age of 100 grades 1851 cents, which is
the best price recorded since May Con-
cessions are not secured by purchasers,
but on the other hand holders grow
more confident. Despite recent phenom-
email sales at Boston there is steady
buying and stocks do not accumulate,
although arrivals are liberal. Makers
Of heavy weight woolenS received
good duplicate orders, while contracts
for spring lines come forward freely.
Footwear factories are busy on spring
goods, many having contracts for
spring lines. Chicago shows a further
decline, but imported dry hides are
well sustained. Staple products con-
tinue advancing, corn making a most
sensational gain.
Extraordinary high prices for corn
tempted many traders to sell future
contracts in expectation of a sharp re-
action, but further violent rise to the
highest price for many years compelled
covering at a severe loss. This grain
is not governed by precedent, the small
est exports for many years failing to
produce auy effect. Shipments from
Atlantic parts for the week reached the
lowest point since 1894.
Wheat was also sharply advanced to
the best price of the season, largely
through sympathy for corn, for which
IL was freely substituted. Poor weather
for the new crop Of winter wheat and
liberal selling demands were also
strengthening factors, besides exports
from all ports of the United States
amounting to 4,815,762 bushels for the
week, against 1886, 211 year ago.

Her Reference.

One servant girl on Long Island has
a reference that should readily secure
her employment if she ever decides to
leave her present position. But she
won't decide to leave, if the family she
now works for can help it.
One afternoon Il few days ago when
her master was in the city and her mis-
tress was visiting neighbors, a man
called and asked for the lady of the
house. When the maid told him she
was out he seemed greatly disap-
pointed:
Its really very important" he ex-
planned. could you get me paper and
pencil? I'd like to leave note"
"Certainly." said the maid. She
stepped out on the stoop and rang the
front door bell. The cook came to the
door.
Paper an envelope and a pencil for
this gentleman" said the maid.
The man wrote his note and sealed it.
After telling the maid to be sure to see
that her mistress got it the minute she
returned he left. That evening, when
the woman of the house had read the
note and heard the circumstances under
which it was delivered, she smiled and
handed it to her maid.
Jane" she said, you may keeI
this. 1t may do as a reference some
time"
/ This is what the man had written:
Dear Madam: Your maid is NJ
fool. New York Sun.

The girl glanced up quickly, then,
with a surprised little "ohp' covered
her crimson face with both hands. AS
she turned toward the speaker he
sprang back, eXclaiming, Eleanor
and the next instant was on his knees
at her side
With one arm about her, he gently
took her hands away from her face,
and kissed away the tears Of humilia-
ton which started into the blue eyes.

Walled in with fire on either hand
| walk the lonely woOd-rOad thro';
The naples flame above my head,
And spaces whence the wind has shed
About my feet the living red,
Are filled with broken blue.
And crowding close along the way
The purple asters blossom free;
Nm full profusion far and wide,
They fill the path on every side.
In loose confusion multiplied
To endless harmony.
The autumn wood the aster knows,
The empty nest, the wind that grieves
The sunlight breaking thro' the shade.
The squirrel chattering overhead,
The timid rabbits lighter tread
Among the rustling leaves.
And still beside the shadowy glen
She holds the color of the skies;
Along the purplng wayside steep
She hangs her fringes passing deep,
And meadows drowned in happy sleep
Are lit by starry eyes.

THINKS PEARY WILL
REACH NORTH POLE

New York, Sept. 21.-Herbert l..
Bridgeman, secretary of the Peary
Arctic Club. who conducted the Peary
relief expedition of this year, and the
young men who accompanied him
have returned home. With them came
Mrs. Peary and her little girl, who was
born in the Arctic regions eight years
ago.
Next April" said Mr.. Bridgeman,
"Peary will start for the pole from
Cape Heckla, the highest point of land
he has discovered in the west, which Is
only 500 miles from the pole. If he
should never reach it, his discoveries
have been important enough to war
rant the time he has spent in the north
but he will reach the pole"
Mr. Bridgeman said he had the sat
isfaction of knowing that Peary had
II supply of walrus meat large enough
to carry him through his undertaking.
The explorer returned with the
Bridgeman party as far as Cape Hen
schel, where his winter headquarters
are.
-Four days after It occurred, Mr..
Brldgeman Mt Sydney heard of the
shooting of President Mckinley.
Peary will not hear of 1t until next
summer.
1.-The last relief expedition" said Mr..
Bridgeman, was the eleventh sent
out by the Arctic Club. They have
lost all elements of the dramatic. We
were twice in danger, however. Once
we got caught between n glacier and
an Ice foe, and went aground on n
muddy bank. We We're fast for sever.
nj hours, and the danger was lest the
ice pack should sweep in around us
and make us prisoners. The captain
pounded hole in the nose of the foe,
and fastened big hawser to the foe.
and In ten minutes the great body Of
Ice, whose movement you could not
see Mt all. had swung us clear of the
whole thing.
"The most serious time was when
we got caught between the lip of Ice.
under water, and the glacier. We got
away all right, however"

London, Sept 22.-While Kruger and
DR.. Leyds are drawing up petitions to
President Roosevelt and the Gear ask
ing them to intervene, the fighting
Beers are helping themselves in South
Africa by celebrating the expiration of
the period in which Lord Kitchener
proclaimed they must surrender by
four notable successes, killing sixty
eight officers and men, wounding SIX
ty-three and capturing five guns and
300 men. ~''-
The situation is singularly like the
opening of the war two years ago. the
names of the same places recurring in
the dispatches. Utrecht, where Major
Cough was entrdpped, was the scene
of similar ambuscade eighteen
months back. Acton Homes, where
the Beers yesterday reappeared, is
eighteen miles southwest of Lady
smith, prominent in the early hostili-
ties, and the Natal colonials are mus
tering for the defense of the Tugela,
as when General Joubert invaded Ma
tai in 1899.
In Cape Colony fighting is again GO
ing on south of Stormberg, in terri
tory traversed by raiders and their
pursuers half dozen times.
The governments publication of
these reverses causes an outburst of
evaporation against the conduct of
the war, not in South Africa, but by
the ministry. The great ministerial
journals accuse the government Of try
ing to run the war ION the cheap" by
not providing Lord Kitchener with suf.

TESTIMONY in REGARD TO THE
NAVAL BATTLE OFF SANTIAGO 4

had only consented to 1t as Il compro-
mise.
Engineer Bates admitted that the Of
fetal steam log of the Texas contained
no record of the signal to reverse the
engines. Commander Schroeder testi-
fed concerning the coal supply of the
Massachusetts, which he said would
have been sufficient for n blockade of
from sixteen to twenty days.
The day closed with another animat-
ed controversy between counsel as to
the policy of bringing Admiral Samp-
sons name into the trial.
Mr.. Raymer, counsel for Admiral
Schley, said:
1--WE do not propose to bring the
name of Admiral Sampson into this
controversy any more than 1t Is posi-
BILE to do so. We are not here now for
the purpose of condcmning the fact.
if it proves to be a fact, of the New
York, leaving on the morning of the
battle; we are not here to criticise the
blockade that Admiral Sampson had
at Santiago, but are here to establish
this, or under the specifications of
your precept memorandum, to find
out whether the blockade at Santiago
was n close or adequate blockade.
Now, if we can prove that 1t was, so
far as distances were cOncerneu, inc
same blockade that the commander-in-
chief maintained there, then we can
Justify the course of Admiral Schley,
who was commander-in-chief before
SIMPSONS arrival.
There is one other point. and this is
all done for the purpose of really not
delaying but properly getting at the
matter. We propose to prove that on
the 1st day of June the Colon was in
precisely the same position inside of
the harbor that she was on the 31st
day of May, when Admiral Schley
made the reconnaissance with the Mas
sachusetts and the New Orleans.
"Now, we propose to show that
when Admiral Sampson came up with
the ships his ships saw the Colon in
the same position and instead of at
tacking it steamed by and permitted
her to go further inside the harbor.
Now, would not we be justified in not
engaging in battle with the Colon and
the shore batteries at Santiago if Ad-
miral Sampson took the same course:'

Washington, Sept 24.-The part
played by the battleship Texas in the
naval battle off Santiago, July 3,
1898, in which the Spanish fleet, under
Admiral Cervera, was sunk, was the
basis of the greater part of yesterdays
proceedings in the Schley naval court
of inquiry OF the four witnesses ex-
amined during the day three had been
officers on board the Texas during the
battle, and two of them We're new
witnesses. There We're Commander
George G. Heilner, who was navigator
on the Texas, and Commander Alex
ander b. Bates, who was the chief en-
gineer on that battleship. Commander
Harber, executive officer and the chief
surviving officer of the ship since the
death of Captain Philip. was recalled.
The fourth witness was Commander
Seaton Schroeder, executive officer on
the Massachusetts and now governor
of the island of Guam.
The testimoney several times during
the day was somewhat exciting, as
1t was especially so when Commander
Heilner described the battle and the
part the Texas had taken in it. He said
that when the Brooklyn made its loop
at the beginning of the battle it passed
across the Texas bow at n distance
not to exceed 100 to $50 yards, and
that, at the command of Captain Phil
ip, the Texas had been brought to a
dead stop.
Engineer Bates testified that the star
oard engines had been stopped, and
said he thought this also had hap
pened to the port engines. Command
er Heilner expressed the opinion that
three miles had been lost by this man
euver and the fact that part of the ma
chinery was deranged. He said he
considered that the Texas was in
greater danger when the Brooklyn
crossed her bow that at any other
time during the battle.
On cross-eXamnation Commander
Heilner admitted having taken part in
the preparation of the official Navy
Department chart showing the
positions at different times of
the ships which participated in
the battle. He said that accord
ing to this chart the two ships
never We're nearer than 500 yards of
each other. But he contended the
chart was inaccurate, and he said he
