state of mind of a man can be well gagged
when ne sees with the utmost cOmplacency
a combination OF manufacturers preventing
an individual from doing business. yet has
a delirium of evil representations when a
labor union prevents an ignorant, unskilled
man from burning scores of its members
TO cinders. Mr.. Hewitt nicely ignores the
fact that the coal companies Of which he Is
champion are outlaws in the State OF Penn
sylvania-are estopped by their unlawful
acts from entering a court of equity. lie
calmly brushes aside the fact that the mat
tiers causing the strike are based on the
statute laws of that State. His angelc
companies refuse TO obey the check-weigh
law, the ventilation law, the semi-monthly
pay law, the child-labOr law, the eight-hour
law, the sixteenth and seventeenth articles
OF the organic law. etc. Had the companies
Obeyed these laws a strike was improbable
from the start. Mr.. Hewitt does not grow
indignant over these. He reserves his in

Bradstreet on Trade.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
August closes with jobbing activity an
parently at its height in the northern half
of the country, and the total volume of
the months operations probably in excess
of any similar period in previous years.
Actively instrumental in bringing about
this result are the continued good crop
prospects. At the South the annual dimi-
mutton of cotton crop conditions has de-
veloped 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 different sections. wheat be-
ing lower on good weather and large re-
ceipts (much of them below grade) and
lower cables, while cotton has sharply ad-
vanced and the margin between old and
new crop deliveries has narrowed as the
season or lyOl-O2 draws to a close. Other
products tend to drift downward. Corn is
lower on good weather, but a good ex-
port business has developed. Beef cattle
receipts are heavy, and stockers and feed
ers are lower at wholesale, while retail
prices are expected to follow. Prime cat
tie are, however, reported bringing full
prices. Produce receipts are very large.
but prices are on the whole quite strong.
Railway earnings thus far in August are
flattering. being 8 per cent. larger than a
year ago.
The rail market is active, Western roads
buying from Eastern mills, as the home
plants are booked far ahead. In some in
stances old rails suitable for rerolling are
selling higher than the new rails used to
replace them. Foreign iron is coming in
freely, and as difficulties in working foreign
biilets at Pittsburg are being overcome
larger takings of this material may be
looked for. Large sales of structural ma
terial. plates and merchant bars are re-
ported. Sheets are rather stronger, bur one
half of the country's tin plate works are
reported shut down. Sales of hardware
are active with jobbers, and complaints of
slow deliveries by manufacturers come
from them.
Wheat, including flour, exports for the
week ended Aug. 29 aggregate 5.436. $50 bu,
against 1854, 159 last week and 6,6O7. Gil in
this week last year. Wheat exports since
July l aggregate 3S.SS1. 297 bu. against 81
2S6,59S last season. Corn exports aggregate
115,150 bu, against 51,649 last week and Al. 91s
last year. For the fiscal year corn exports
are S1S,643 bu, against 1O,192. 969 last season.

A DiSfurhing Element.

Inc Chicago Great Western. which re-
Gently made a contract at very low rates
with Kansas City packers, the contract COW
ering seven years, seem not to be contented
with securing that business, but is now
seeking to create trouble in passenger cir
cles, and announces that it will ignore the
agreement between the Chicago q st. Paul,
known as the time agreement. Under this
contract the time of all trains is kept above
twelve hours and ffty-ffve minutes Sew
eral conferences have been held recently
to discuss plans affecting the present sched-
ules. Great Western passenger men pro-
fess to know nothing concerning any plans
to cut the agreed time. which prior to the
recent disruption caused by the withdrawal
of the Great Western had remained I'M
changed for thirteen years. 1t is under
stood General Passenger Agent Elmer, of
the Great Western, is making arrangements
to reduce the time to eleven hours and ff-
teen minutes, cutting two hours and forty
minutes from the present running time of
the principal trains. Competing lines as
sert that the Great Western will find it diff
cult to maintain such a schedule and that
any attempt to change existing conditions
will meet prompt retaliation.

A GREAT REVENUE GARNER
THE MONON DEVELOPING REMARK
ABLE EARNING CAPACITY.
Chicago Great Western a Rate Dis
turber in the Northumberland
Prominence

The steady increase from year to year in
the earnings of the Monon excites friendly
comment, and ii is believed that hereafter
the increase will be even more marked than
since the company was reorganized. Its
stone traffic from the Bedford quarries is
steadily growing, and row ranges. from sew
enty-five to 100 carloads per day, which are
shipped to the East and Northwest and TO
many important cities in the country, but
its most marked increase is coming and will
come from the development of farming
lands on it's line, where thousands of acres
of low marsh ground have been converted
through draining into excellent corn, oats
and hay-raising ground. THE work is but
fairly commenced" said an official of the
road, but is already showing results in
the freight earnings of the line. Under the
direction of Traffic Manager Rockwell new
connections have been made which swell
the freight earnings from other sources.
Meantime it's passenger business has con-
tinued to increase until its poorest trains
earn over S1.10 per mile run and its best
trains more than double that amount" The
roadbed and equipment are I'm such excel
lent condition that for some years heavy
expenses will not be necessary In that di-
rection and the future of the road is full
of promise.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
FALL BUSINESS IN DRY GOODS Is
STARTING RATHER EARLY.
Groceries Also Are in Unusual De-
mand-COmmission Men Complain
of Light Business-The Cereals.

In trade circles there was considerable
activity yesterday for so near the close
of the month. Especially are the dry-goods
houses busy. One OF the wholesale mer-
chants stated yesterday that they were
shipping goods bought for delivery next
month and in October. as the buyer had
ordered them shipped at once because of
the unusual demand. Inquiry at another
dry-gOOds wholesale house showed similar
conditions. something which is new in the
fall trade of local houses. Wholesale gro
GERS report business as heavy beyond prece-
dent. Usually the last half Of August a
dull period is looked for, but this year 1t
has not been realized. as staple groceries
have sold right along at steady prices.
Sugars and coffees are in good request, and
prices firm, as are all fancy groceries. 1t
is too early in the season 10 tell much
about the canned goods and dried fruits
market, but in most lines an abundance
is promised and at about last years prices.
On Commission row there is a good deal
of complaint of a dull trade, due 10 the
nearby growers of fruits and vegetables,
especially of the latter. Peaches are not
in so large supply as for some weeks past.
nor is the fruit as good. Apples are In
good supply and of unusually good quail
ity. In other lines there is nothing new TO
note. The produce market continues in the
strong position of some weeks past

Indianapolis Grain Market.

Grain receipts yesterday were light, in

The Detroit Southern.

Vice President Lisman, Of the Detroit

stockholders of the Ironton road, and ad-

the Detroit Southern, and further, that ne
are pending which may result in
the Seaboard Airline securing control

Union Trust Company and the Baltimore

There has been a new smell in London
lately-a vague, impalpable odOr. floating
about the streets, pungent, not unpleasant.
and remotely suggestive of tobacco. IL is
most noticeable IN those places where re-

The secret may as well be divulged at
once. II is Transvaal tobacco. Every SOL
der from the front, or. at least. every pipe
smoking soldier. has brought "A pound or so

rican tobacco being as easily acquired as
that for most good things. il Is easy TO
foresee a great and growing demand
throughout Great Britain for the new dis
covery.
American tobaccos will be seriously
threatened, for the better varieties OF the
Transvaal weed are excellently favored,
delicate. cool, absolutely pure. and they
never burn the tongue. Above all, they are
very cheap.
