CHICAGO

Although the curtail-
bDle110 ment of production in fin
.-l i~hed iron and a partial
strike of packing house workers for more
wages has created a disturbing feeling,
but little appreciable reaction appears in
the aggregate volume of current BUSH
ness. Freight traffic shows no falling
away. The distribution of merchandise
through wholesale and leading retail
channels compares favorably with
year ago, and there are larger dealings
at the banks and in foodstuffs. Weather
conditions have favored the progress of
seeding and farm work, and tho market
ing of crops adds to a wider rculation
of money throughout the intelior. The
prices of agricultural products maintain
unusual firmness. Machinery and hard
ware factories are kept quite busy, some
of the latter orking hard to overtake
old business. Mercantile collections make
a satisfactory showing, and the number
of reported failures for the Chicago dis
trict does not exceed same week of 1902.
Grain shipments for six days, includ-
ing 2,757.336 bushels OF corn, aggregate
$3.50. 740 bushels, aud are almost 20 per
cent over the previous week and fully
double those of year ago. The general
demand has been fair and prices well
sustained ompared with closing a week
ago. Live stock receipts, 324,52S head,
are slightly over the corresponding week
of 1902. Sheep advanced Is cents per

STRONG ARGUMENT FOk RIVER
IMPROVEMENT.

The vicksburg Herald finds in the fol-
lowing telegram strong argument for
river rovenent:
St. Louis, Oct. 6.-In addition to the
long g-continued freight congestion, st.
Louis is no W confronted with a coal
embargo.
The recent cold snap sent prices up
ward. Six of the great railroad lines
centering here have placed an embargo
against connecting lines on freight of all
kinds, but principally coal. Manufac-
turers and other big consumers Of bitum-
inrus complain that they are. unable to
get coal to keep their plants in operation.
because the railroads refuse to handle it.
The railroads i'll turn, are practically
blockaded with freight and, being unable
to handle the crush Of business, have
been forced to refuse it.
The Herald, commenting on the above,
says:
st. Louis enjoyswater connec tion tha
extends to the heart Of all the great coal
fields of Ohio and West Virginia. She
possesses besides river egress and ingress
that reaches to the ocean, and to very
large proportion OF the interior buyers
and sellers in her markets. There is an
abundance of waterin these streams-all
of them-for every purpose ofnavigation
! all the year round; ifinteligentIy treated.
But for coal transportation, at the very
season when most needed, the Ohio and
the Mississippi-above the Alabama coal
outlet at Greenville-had as we'll be
dried up. The commercial loss from now
until spring by reason of the freight and
coal congestion of the valley railroads,
in which the whole population shares,
will be greater than the highest esti-
mates Of cost of an all the year round
impro vement system of the two rivers.

THE LEyEE CONVENTION.

1t is perhaps superfuous for THE DRx-

Levce Convention to be held in New Or
leans on October 27tt-for our people
are fully alive to its importance-but we
wish to express qualification that the
interest iii the meeting is SO widespread
and enthusiastic. And the delegates ap-
pointed by the Governors Of the different
Sthtes, by the Mayors of cities and
towns, by Business Leagues and Cotton
Exchanges are composed of the most
prominent and public-spirited citizens of
the Mississippi Valley and there is no
doubt that great good will result from
the meeting.
