records of coke output, the upper and lower Connellsville regions together hav- ing surpassed 300, 900 tons,l and the holi- days gave the railroads an opportunity to relieve the congestion. Unless rapid progress Is made before the close of lake navigation, less than two months hence, the situation will become serious. New plants are being added to the productive capacity as rapidly as possible, but in railroad equipment especially steel rails. orders are already placed for much of mex: year. Quotations of footwear are fully maintaiEed at the recent advance. It is noteworthy that buying has been heaviest in the finer grade and sample lines of spring styles are also most sought in the good qualities. A good fea- turc is the urgency for quick shipment. indicating that stocks are low. Leather sells freely at the recent advance in quo tations. but hides appear to have risen above the views of tanners. resulting in a quiet market. Advancing raw material aroused much anxiety among purchasers of cotton goods. and there were numerous volume of business not materially in- creased.
 Agricultural condMiops are. less satis- factory and if the official estimate as to cotton Is not exaggerated. the yield will not be large enough to sustain consump- tion at the present rate. Wheat is com- ing forward freely, though receipts do not equal the abnormally heavy move- ment year ago. Corn developed strength lsscause of fears that injury would be done by frost. and the movement Is very slow compared with last years figures

BRADsTREEr's REVIEW.

New York. Sept. 5.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 All available data confirm reports of past good trade and foreshadow as good or better yet to come. It has been essen tially week of active buying in distribu- tive trade and sellers have occupied an enviable position. Reports as to August trade have been almost uniformly favora- ble and the records of failures show busi- ness mortality to have been confined to low summer minimum. Prices show per slstent strength despite the fact that agri- cultural products, except corn and prime cattle tend lower owing to the growing strength of raw textiles and other ma terials for manufacture. Corn Is not yet out of danger from frost in northern halt of the belt and this coupled with snort supplies imparts strength to cereals gen erally. Reports of cotton crop deteriora- tions, caused by hot dry weather. nave scared shorts and stiffened values or raw and manufactured cotton. but there IS feeling that the crop damage talk mas been overdone and that liberal yieid IS still possible, though active trade IS ex- pected to demand all available supplies of the South's leading product. Rsther less disturbance is noted in labor mat ters some stocks having been declared of The anthracite trouble still hangs over the situation but the volume of coal shipments is slowly and steadily increas- ing Some wage advances are noted in widely separated lines. Collections in the north and west are uniformly good, but while some improvement is noted in the South, room for betterment stil exists.

THE TALES THEY TELL FIGURES AND FACTS
The Vote in the Primary Was Very Large Per Cent of the Democratic Vote and Cannot
 Be Overcome in the Election.
BY D. W. Mc1vER

mary was l097. and SO on 1t will run throughout the State. Full understanding of the situation will bring us to the con- cfusion that very large proportion of the Democratic vote turned out and voted in the primaries.
 There were iS3,S1S in all registered in the State, out of a white voting popula- tion of 232. .294 thus leaving only 4s,416 who are disqualified from failure to register from some cause and another. Out of the whole number registered. 1Ss.sls, there must be, taken 5000 who failed to pay poll tax. Then there are 30,000 Republicans and Populists In all probability, and 2.5Oo negroes. The stay-away class. from ab- sence, sickness or habit, is near 10000 and there are then but about 105.0o0 Dem- ocrats who were expected to vote in the late primary, under the rules laid down by the State Committee and out of that number 5000 went to the polls. It must be admitted that it Is big per cent. to turn out, only one-seventh failingto vote. There can be nothing more said in fairness to the small vote polled in the recent pri- mary. It is of course to be taken for granted that not per cent. of those who voted in the primary can be induced to go out of the party and vote any other ticket on any account and if all the op- position unites on a ticket and goes to the polls to a man, 1t will not be, near as large number of those Democrats who voted in the primary and will stand true and steadfast to their pledge to vote for the nominees.
 The figures can be studied with much interest and some solid suggestions and reflections may arise during their consid- eration. Just compare and digest them at your leisure.

WEEKLY TRADEREVIEW DUN & COMPANY REPORT
 STEADY PROGRESS.
Distribution of Merchandise is Heavy and Healthy Tone is Evident. Prices Well Maintained by
 Liberal Consumption.

New York, Sept. 5-R. c. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Steady progress Is reported in trade and industry. Distribution Of merchandise is heavy and a healthy tone is evident Prices are we'll maintained by liberal con sumption. which more than neutralizes the effect of enlarged facilities for pro- duction.. Domestic conditions continue much better than those existing abroad. and home trade received more attention than foreign commerce. Farm products have appreciated in value owing to less favorable weather and producers will be fully compensated for any decrease in ouentity by their quotations. Earnings of railways during August were 3.6 per cent larger than year ago. and 1S.9 per cent in excess of 1900.
 Better deliveries of coke and liberal receipts of foreign material have lessen ed the pressure in the iron and steel in- dustry and the situation Is a little Jess Jess congested, vhife quotations in few lines have weakened Domestic demands are not decreasing. much hoDs new business business tion will continue to call for imports on a large scale.

"water curev Not a New Thing

A correspondent of The Boston Tran script calls attention to the fact that the water cure' was employed by the Dutch nearly three centuries ago. In Martins History of the Indian Empire an account is given of the struggles of the European powers to secure the rich trade with the East Indies. In 1923 the Dutch seized the Japanese at Amboyna and subjected them to torture to make them confess to con spiracy. Each victim was placed on the rack and compelled to inhale water at every attempt to draw breath until his body became inflated and he swooned, was recovered and the same horrible process repeated"

Joseph Shirk, formerly of Lancaster. Pa. the man who made the first revolver, died the other day The present genera tion hardly imagines a time when there was no revolver, but in truth 1t is a modern weapon and in it's real en1ciency only a few years old--not to exceed forty. Before the Civil War there were the old fashioned pepper boxes, which were-oan gerous to the user: then came the 'navys which had to be loaded like a muskei . each barrel requiring separate attention and usually being ineffective at point blank range.

 It has just come to light that the stockings of a hctel chambermaid figured in the pomp incident to King Edwards coronation. They were worn by the Mayor of a seaport town. who, on robing fer the historic ceremony, found that he had not brought long stockings with him. All the stores were closed and so he could not purchase a pair. A chambermaid heard of the Mayors embarrassment ana blush ingly offered to furnish the necessary hosiery. Her offer was gladly accepted and his Worship looked as brave as the rest of them in the borrowed finery.
