business. Wholesale people state that
it is a difficult mater to find a retail
merchant who is not enthusiastic
about fall prospects. Not only is this
manifested in more liberal buying but
also in the steady call for better class
of goods. This higher grade feature is
disclosed in the purchase of nearly all
yard goods as We'll as in accessories; and
small wares.
Everybody Buying Coal.
The west has been the scene OF a
spirited market in anthracite within
the last ten days. 1t began with only
a moderate show Of energy. but about
the close of last week pyrotechnics of
remarkable brilliancy We're common.
The public seemed to have reached the
conclusion that it was now or never
With them, so they bought anthracite
wherever it could be found. At Chicago
it was not uncommon for Il consumer
TO go three or four miles away from
his home to find a dealer with q stock
of anthracite that was purchasablc.
Few dealers held large stocks and those
who did hold them wished to continue
the possession. SO the prices We're adj
vanced, a dollar at a jump sometimes,
but this did not deter the buyers. The
greater the advance the more Voracious
was the buying. Last week $40 a ton
was asked and obtained at some of the
rail wards

WILL MAKE TABLOID DRINKS.
Compressed Spirits Company Is Or
ganized, with 100000 Capital.

Binghamton, N. Y, Sept. An or
ganzation to be known as the Com
pressed Spirits Company, with capital
stock of s1,O00.OO0 is being formed here.
/. q. Protsman, a prominent hotel pro-
prietor of Cincinnati. is president, and
the stockholders include financiers in
New York and Baltimore. The factory
will turn out whisky and wine manu.
featured into compressed tablets, maxi
ing it possible for person to carry a
good-sized drunk in his vest pocket.
The discovery was made by Charles
Obendaugh of this city. and the plan
has been thoroughly tested. 1t will
revolutionize the manufacture and sale
of spirits and will necessitate changes
in the revenue laws to cover the manu-
facture of whisky tablets. Work on the
plant will begin at once and drinks in
compressed form will be on the market
before Christmas.

THE JULY EXPORTS.
Exceeded Those of Same Month Last
Year by Nearly $1OOOOO0O.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The details of
the July exports have just been made
public by the treasury bureau of sta
tistics. They show that the exporta-
tion of manufactures is greater than in
July of last year and form an unusually
large percentage of the total exports.
This is due to the fact that the very
small expectations of corn and other
cereals have made the total of July ex-
ports unusually small. tho careful ex-
animation of the details of the months
expectation OF manufactures shows
that in most cases they exceeded those
of the corresponding months OF last
year. Importations of manufacturers
materials continue to form the chief
feature of the increasing imports. The
total Importation of manufacturers
materials for the seven months ending
with July is s252,305,O5O against $221,-
537,767 in the corresponding months of
last year, while the total expectation of
manufactures is $245,756,052, against
$236,O93,429 in the corresponding
months of last year.

best terms they can get. There IL
/ plainly moral flaw in the doctrine
that 81 man may Go what he will with
his own. Eut equally plainly our long
established laws of private property
do in general leave owners free to use
1t or hold it idle for any reason, good
or bad, which pleases them.
| Must we have new laws? Shall we
put the mines under state control or
| pass laws changing the tenure so that
little depends on continued use? If we
do, 1T means the utter transformation
of our republic The federal system If
the constitution will disappear and we
shall have a consolidated socalistic
empire. State contro, will not stop with
the MINIS. 1t will extend to railroads
and factories, and, if Italian experience
should ever he repeated here, perhaps
to farms. Possibly that is the inevita-
BILE tendency of industrial progress.
Many socialists look with favor on
trusts as the forerunners of state con-
troll. But, If it is to come. let us face
its meaning. 1t will not be enough for
the commonwealth of Pennsylvania to.
exercise its right of eminent domain
and take and run the coal mines. Are
New York and New England to be at
the mercy of local Pennsylvania inter
ests which might vote to limit produce
ton and fatten on the necessities of the
rest of the country? a combination of
western politicians to control the wheat
market thru their state governments
would be as dangerous as similar
combination in an exchange grain pit.
IL the industries are to be managed for
the people it must be for the whole peo-
Pile. That is what we hear many de-
mands for already. The national gov

power to regulate trusts. it must irri-
gate all the waste places of the earth. |
must see that states do not invade the |
civil rights of their citizens. The ten
dency is undoubtedly in the direction of
giving the federal government more |
and more functions to perform in d-
rect relation with the individual citi-
zen. Ii It is to take control of his |
domestic and industrial conduct, say
how he shall use the land he occupies
and when he must work or employ oth-
ers to work, then the federal system,
which is built UP on the theory of local
autonomy, falls to pieces. And,
enough. the attacks on local
autonomy and individualism are made
in the name of democracy.
The early dreamers of democratic rule
thought the best government the one
which governed least. Now, in the
name of popular rights. the government
which governs most is held up as the
ideal. Capitalization and despotism are
no longer feared, provided the despot
is elective at the hands of industrial
democracy.

completion. 1t is reported that Cudahy

obstacles the promoters of the trust

for $21, 100000 in securities of the COM

Each of these companies has been
buying up other properties with which
they are closely connected, with the APP
parent intention of obtaining inviting
terms from the combine in the event
of consolidation. Armour & Co., for ex-
ample, a short time ago took over the
Hammond Co. and the Omaha Packing
Company; Swift & Co. purchased the
Anglo American Provision and Packing
Company, and the George Fowler &
Son plant of Kansas City, while report

Germs as well, but this lacks verifica-

lieved, will also acquire the business of

A CAPTAIN SAYS IT Is LIKE FOG ALL
THE TIME.

The appearance of the Upper Bay yesterday
was an argument for the use of some fuel like
oil to take the place of soft coal The horizon
was bank of black smoke. which also lay over
the water in perceptibe clouds. There was no
breeze to carry it away, and there it lay sus-
pended all day. From the Battery Staten
Island could hardly be seen through the thick
pail The hills and the sky were shade.
Ferryboats, tugboats. steamboats-every class
of craft-Were belching clouds of SCOT from their
stacks.
There are elements of danger in this condition
of affairs. In case of fog the danger of col

comes far more so for navigation Captain
Hardy of the steamer Richard Peck. of the
New-Haven Line when asked yesterday if he
noticed any difference in the harbor since the
general use of soft coal in large quantities had
begun said:
Yes. we do You would be surprised what a
difference it makes. 1t looks like fog here all
the time and if it going to rain In
the Sound it is clear a bell. When We come
down in the morning, at about q o'clock, it is
