Western league business. He brings
the best of reports of the condition

Western has been compelled to make,
is about over. \ meeting of the
clubs of the league was held at st.

that there is $4,000 in the sinking

any loss that may result from UNI
favorable weather. The attendance
everywhere is good and the backing
of the several clubs is of the best.

BRADSTREET'S REPORT.

Aside From Natural Damage by
Strike, Business Prospects Please.
New York, Oct. 10.-Bradstreet' to-
morrow will say:
Cooler weather has brought the coal
supply question home to millions of
people, and discussion of this has
dWarfed all other matters in the pub
lie eye. There is possibility, however,
that the tendency to exaggeration may
be carried to extremes, and that
matter bad enough at best may be
made worse by injudicious talk Special
Investigations by Bradstreet's CORE
spondents at fifty cities and industrial
centers east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers
seem to Indicate that. aside from the
damage to general business caused in
the coal regions themselves by the idle
ness of 100000 Industrial workers. the
coal strike as yet has been the cause
of a much smaller displacement of
industrial workers Than is
generally supposed. Including
furnace employees in Eastern PennsyI-
vania, brickmakers in and near the
Hudson Valley and a large number of
coal handlers at tidewater docks not
to exceed 10000 men, or only one
seventh of the number of actual strik-
ers, have been rendered idle. Oil, both
crude and illuminating, has advanced
in prices. The easier tone of raw cot
ton has made manufacturers more in
clined to do business. Stocks of cotton
are SMALL both at first and second
hands. Aside from the fuel scarcity,
it may be truly said that every bust
ness prospect pleases. Fall jobbing,
though necessarily not so active as
earlier, is really better than anticipat-
ed. Recorders note difficulty of fulfill
ment, indicating lack of depressing
stock. Spring trade advices are bet
ter than usual at this date, and pre-
dictions as to the coming holiday bust
ness are optimistic.
