New York, Sept. 21.-R. G. Dun, G.
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade today
says:
Universal sorrow placed calming
hand on the rush and turmoil OF the
market place. Everything that could
be conveniently postponed was put
aside, out of respect for the dead presi-
dent. Mercantile payments continue
prompt, but 1t was to be expected that
bank exchanges would not show the
customary heavy gains over previous
years. Yet prices were stronger and
there were many indications Of great la
tent power.
After two months Of controversy at
the steel mills, a settlement has been
reached. Managers are confident that
the outcome means no further interrupt
tion to work for long period and there
is hope Of making up for much OF the
delay by operating overtime. In prepar-
ing for an exceptionally active year in
1902 some OF the larger mills are to dou-
bic their capacity.
Southern furnaces are already asking
higher quotations. Shoes are unchanged,
tho there is general advance of 23s@5
cents on boots. The leather market av-
erages about y cent higher.
In dry goods the feature of the week
was the phenomenal movement Of
mourning goods. which advanced in
price as the available supply was re-
duced Mills having stocks OF crepe and
bunting We're able to dispose of every
thing on hand, and large shipments
went west. Print cloths are steady
Wooden goods remain firm but quiet,
while the wool market is hardened by
advances at the London auction sale.
Corn has met with another setback.
How much injury was done by frost can
not yet be determined, but 1t forced
prices to an extremely high price Tues
day. It was not possible to retain all
the advance and there was evidence OF
much manipulation during the move
ment. One result on inflated quotations
was further reductions in exports from
the Atlantic coast to 290,S01 bushels
against ,51sS2O bushels year ago.
Wheat is stronger, with less specula-
tive support and more actual cash de-
mand. Shipments abroad continue
heavy. amounting to 4.033.455 bushels,
against 3,219,211 bushels last year.
Failures for the week number 157 in
the United States. against 211 last year

Jaii8 Delivery at Upton

Clinton, Sept. 21.-Word was received
here yesterday morning that the Jail at
Upton was forced open Thursday night
by a prisoner named McNaniee. who,
the day before his escape, was sem
fenced to the penitentiary for two
years for forgery committed at Clar-
ence. When sentence was about to be
pronounced, McNamee made an earnest
plea for clemency, claiming he had
never been arrested before. but the
skilful manner in which he sawed on
grating and made his escape Indicates
quite clearly that he has been behind
the bars before. The bar was cut as
smoothly as mechanic would do 1t
with tools. He used soap to make the
cutting easy and noiseless. Only one
other prisoner was in the jail, but ne
made no attempt to escape and claims
he knew nothing Of the doings of his
mate, tho evidently he was aware OF
What was going on.

eradstrcct's Review.


New York, Sept. 21.-Bradstreet's Re-
View of Trade today says.
The sad events of the week have nat
,lrally been depressing features, but the
course of prices of nearly all stocks and
staples shows that repression and not
depression is the word to express the
steadiness and confidence with which
the commercial world awaited and re-
ceived the change in presidents of the
United States.
Among the more favorable Of the
purely commercial or industrial fea-
lures Of the week have been the contin-
uance of the good demand from jobbers.
the heavy shipments OF goods with
which to fill these demands; the better
call for goods at retail, induced by the
arrival OF fall weather and the settle
ment of the steel strike, which restores
at least $4,000 men to work. The unfa-
yorable features are few. the most nota-
BILE being the advices of the arrival OF
heavy frosts in the corn belt. affecting
however oily the latest planted product.
The strength of corn has been. indeed,
the feature OF the cereal markets.
The resumption of work in the hoop.
sheet, tin plate and tube mills has been
a feature of the week. Steel rails are
being we'll taken at the west and steel
mills are reported sold ahead to next
year. Jobbers in iron and steel are
busy supplying small lots to bridge over
consumers until the mills recently on
strike can come into the market. Pig
iron Is in better inquiry and Birming-
ham reports an advance Of 25 cents per
ton. Export BUSINESS is slow. The oth-
.er metals are without change.
Wheat, including -four, exports for the
week aggregate 3s40,574 bushels. az
against 6,64S609 bushels last week, and
3,535,s57 bushels in this week last year
Wheat exports from July to date
twelve weeksl aggregate 72,1s2,179
bushels, as against 37.463,416 bushels
last season
Corn exports aggregate 611,62s BUSH
els, as against 777,S31 bushels last week,
and 2,134,25O bushels last year. From
July to date corn exports are Il, 133.104
bushels, against 3s,5s6.746 bushels last
season.

cellently with year ago.

Such structure as can be used for
the stores of the military department
and the offices of the military branch of
the state government is desired. The
state capitol building is crowded 1t is
almost impossible to furnish needed
room for filing papers. There are scores
of thousands of military filings in the
1000 pigeon holes of the office of the adj
tutant general at the state house. and
yet many OF the papers relating to the
civil war have to be boxed up because
there is no room to classify and file
them.
1t is suggested that the arsenal build
ing be of size to accommodate the adj
jutant general and his force, the stores
of the military branch of the state gov
eminent, the civil war records. the
civil war flags, which are now sealed up
in cases near the state library, and
which the capitol commission will in
sist on having removed, and the Grand
Army of the Republic headquarters.
which are now cramped into the state
capitol building. A structure that will
accommodate all these will be built for
the $4,000 fixed by the military depart-
ment as the maximum.
{ At present the stores of the depart
ment are kept in rented building in
East Des Aoines, which is not fireproof,
and which in time Of riot. for instance,
would be instantly subject to the flames
or to capture by the mob, to the immi-
nent danger OF the community on ac-
count of the arms and ammunition kept
therein. An isolated arsenal near the
state capitol building is regarded as a
prime necessity by the military depart
ment. 1t will be impressed on the as
sembly which meets this winter.

CLIMATE AND CROP SERVICE.
Crop Bulletin for Week Ending Sep
ten1her 2,

Des Moines, Sept. ESPECIALLY y
The past week was somewhat warmer
than usual, the average daily excess
being from two to four degrees. Light
showers were reported on the 10Th and
30th, the heaviest amount being about
half an inch in portions of the north
central district. The drouth is still
holding full sway, with continued de-
triment to potatoes and pastures and
hindrance to blowing. The corn crop
is nearing maturity in all sections,
and harvesting with binders is now in
process in early planted fields, with
prospect that a very large percentage
of the crop will be in stock before the
Goth of September. With normal tenn
perature, and usual conditions for rip
ening, there will be but little corn to
be damaged by frost after the Goth,
though reports indicate that some
fields will need until October LIST to
mature perfectly. Rain is much need
ed for grass and potatoes, but corn is
generally beyond need of help from
additional moisture. with timely har-
vesting the value of the corn fodder
this year will be well nigh inestimable.

DoBsoN HAS NEW GAME LAW.
Wants Iowa Legislature to Protect
Game Fish.

Des Moines, Sept. 4.-Ex- Secretary
of State G. l.. Dobson, who has been
spending the summer at Lake Okoboji
says the buffalo fish are so numerous
in the lake that they have eaten up
the spawn of the game fish and that
in time there will be none left. He
has decided to frame a bill for the
next legislature asking that provis-
ions be made for the spearing of the
buffalo in order to lessen the supply.
The bill will provide that in order
to spear the buffalo one must take out
a license and that no one shall be
permitted to fish in water under a
depth of fifteen feet Mr.. Dobson will
also ask that provisions be made to
go into the state hatchery and secure
the speci of game fish there known
as the maskinonge. The lake is pecu-
liarly adapted to the growth of this
fish
