COMMERCIAL REPORT.


New York, Aug. 3o.-Bradstreet's
commercial report says: August
closes with jobbing accounts active,
apparently at its height in the north
ern half of the country and the to-
tai volume Of the months operations
probably in excess Of any similar
product in recent years. Instru-
mental in bringing about this re-
suit are the continued good crop
prospects. At the south the annual
diminution Of cotton crop conditions
has developed as the result of hot,
dry weather in the southern half Of
the belt. Added to this is much
reported damage from insects in
Texas. Prices reflect the diverse re-
ports from the sections, while be-
ing lower on good weather (much
Of them below grade), and lower
cables, while cotton has sharply ad-
vanced, and the margin between old
and new crop deliveries has mar
rowed as the season of 10000 draws
to close. Other farm produce
tends to drift downward. Corn is
lower on good weather, but good
export businss has developed.
Beef cattle receipts are heavy and
stockers and feeders are lower at
wholesale, while retail prices are ex-
pected to follow. Prime cattle are,
however, reported bringing full
prices. Produce receipts are very
large, but prices are on the whole
quite strong.
Business failures for the week
ended August rs number 14o, as
against 1871 last week, 1888 in this
week last year, 1865 in 1900, 131 in
1899 and 1874 In 1898.

SITUATION SERIOUS.
Soldiers Sent to the Panther Creek
Valley to Curb Strikers.
4 WOMAN BADLY BEATEN By WOMEN


Tamaqua, Pa, Aug. eS.-The stu.
alton in the Panther Creek valley
last night was serious. At eight
o'clock the streets Of Lansford and
Summit Hill were thronged with
strikers. Early In the evening two
companies Of the Twelfth regiment
were sent through the valley on .
trolley car. All along the line the
soldiers were hooted and jeered and
II was not deemed prudent to take
them of the cars.
While Mary Markley was carrying
supper to her brother, who is en-
ployed ut a colliery near Lansford,
she was set upon and severely beaten
by crowd Of women. Late at night
the crowds on the streets had
dwindled down considerably and or
der had been partially restored.
The civil authorities expressed the
belief that there would be no serious
disturbance during the night. They
are fearful, however, that n serious
clash will occur between the troops
and the strikers in the morning. The
fact that the Lehigh Coal and Navi-
cation company is hosting coal at
Its No. 4 colliery has greatly incensed
the mine workers, especially the for
elgners, and they are determined
not to allow non-union men to 60 to
work to-day.
Soldiers Prevent Serious Trouble.
Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 2s.--The
timely arrival Of detachment Of
soldiers on the scene yesterday even
ing averted serious outbreak. A
non-union workman named Quinn
was attacked by n crowd Of strikers
near the Cambridge colliery at the
lower end Of this city and was being
roughly handled when two Of his
friends rushed to his assistance and
kept the crowd back with drawn
revolvers. In q few moments all
three were surrounded by a crowd
of several hundred men and boys and
only the timely arrival Of Provost
Marshal Farquhar with detail Of
soldiers from the Eighth regiment
prevented serious trouble.
E!sctment Of strikers from Houses
Hinton, w. Va, Aug. 2S.--Great ex-
element exists in the vicinity of Red
Ash and Beury, caused by the con
stables removing the striking
miners from the company's houses
About 40 families who were notified
to leave the houses Of the Red Ash
Coal company refused to vacate and
when the constsblcs began to remove
their household goods volley OF
shots was fired from the opposite
side Of the river. They returned the
fire with rifles. 1t is estimated that
800 shots were fired. The shooting
was all at long range and no one
on the Red Ash side was hurt.
