have an afternoon session on MONDAYS
of 430 o clock.
Mr.. NOBLE of Franklin: | agree
With the gentlemen in this matter: but

Monday afternoons until committees
shall have decided to hold committee
meetings on Friday. SO far, during
This session no business has been

Sanate in the matter and a notification

meetings on Friday, SO as to give as
something to do on Monday afternoon.
Is that the purpose of ii, or is it the
nrrnose 10 bind the Senate TO that
nolicv now, so that in case the condi-
IAN of business is such week after
naxt that il would do no good, and
youId not advance the business of the
session TO meet Monday afternoon. the
Senate would not in its discretion pass
an order to adjourn until Tuesday
morning?
Mr. WEEKS of Somerset: This, as
understand it, is in no way binding
upon the Senate: but | thought that,
at the present time it would be better
that the Senate should receive some
notice that hereafter ii should not ask
adjournment from Friday until Tues
dav OF course, if the business of this
legislature would not be forwarded by
having a session on Monday afternoon,
would not be in favor of it, neither
would any Of the senators. probably.
But if the committees get down TO
hard work. and if they make numerous
reports next week. then it would seem
that We can further the business of
this Legislature by having Il Monday
afternoon session. because it is prob
able that all the reports upon bills next
week, made Thursday or even Friday
morning will not be printed until
perhaps the next Monday. so that they
cannot receive their first reading until
the next Monday. | am only inferring
that next week committees Will get
down to hard work and will make re
ports as rapidly as possible.
The question being put upon the
foregoing order. the same was passed

staple prices this week. based originally upon poor crop reports from the South, too dry in Texas and too wet in the east ern half of the belt, but helped now by better reports from the dry goods trade and higher prices paid for cotton goods. Print cloths are E of 8 cent higher. while the raw material is A of a cent higher On the week. % of a cent higher than two weeks ago and only 1 cent lower than a year ago. Receipts are large at the Southwest, thus confirming reports of premature ripening, but rains delay pick ing in the South Atlantic region Wool is moving actively on good manufacturing demand, but no higher in prices. Reports from the wooden goods market continue favorable.
 Lower Cereal Prices.
 Aside from the strength in textiles the feature in prices is the lower range of cereals and farm products generally Wheat Is off a little on liquidation, based on large receipts at the northwest, smar- CT clearances and less active spot de- mand. Corn Is lower on good crop reports inducing longs to unload. Other cereals sympathize and country products are weaker on increasing supplies. Ocean freights are only one-half to one-ffth to what they were a year-ago, and the situ- ation Is much depressed.
 With the exception that the cheaper grades of shoes are not in active request, this trade is in active shape at the east. Shoe shipments are increasing.
 Iron and Steel. ss
 The air of. patient serenity with which the iron and steel trades view the trade and strike situation, Is significant of the confidence growing that the end of tho strike Is In sight. Leaving out this mat ter, the trade Is in good shape, and con sumption Is large. Finished products, such as hoops, tubes, sheets and tin plate are still bringing high premiums. Structural material, plate and bar mills. have or ders for months ahead. Wire is scarce at Chicago, owing to the Joliet shut down. At Pittsburg. merchant furnaces are at the end of their orders, and must pile stocks next month if the strike lasts. Foundry iron Is in good demand at St. Louis and hardware Is in active dlstrl- button at all western markets.

 A further improvement in corn crop ad- vices, confidence in the early ending of the steel strike, further advance in cot ton-due, however, to crop deterioration as much as to the better tone of dry goods trade advices-and last, but not least, the advent of cooler weather, are unitedly responsible for a still further enlargement of general trade distribution at nearly all markets and a perceptibly better and more cheerful tone of business generally. Specially good reports come from such centres as Chicago. which reports very heavy business In dry goods. clothing and shoes; from St. Louis, with advices of un- usual activity among jobbers and the dry goods trade in August beyond expecta- tions; from Kansas City, which reports that jobbers have all they can do to han dle business offerings.
