action in Prices and Return to Nor

This Fall.

New York. Sept. 4.-Bradstreets re-
view of trade will say tomorrow:
Crop developments have been most
ly favorable Fall jobbing trade re-
ports indicate further Improvement and
monetary conditions show less tension
The tone of general business is con-
SENTATIVE and the tendency is to elm
mate anything in the nature of specu-
lation or over extension from gem
oral business. Evidence of an APP
preaching slackening in the output
of anthracite coal is to be seen.
Stock speculation is down to in
finitessimal proportions, but that in
cotton is very active though signs of
reaction in prices and return to
normal conditions are appearing.
The Improvement in cotton condi-
ton in August, predicted in this col
umn. has come to pass, the govern
ment report showing the best condi-
ton since 1894. With the large acre
age and a late, hot fall, a 1000, 900
bale yield is easily possible. though
the lateness of the crop leads to the
impression that the crop is really only
at an August ! stage.

tinued complaints of boil weevl or boil
worm damage in southern, Central and

speeches but the following were called
upon by George r. Wilson, who presided:
Sir Thomas Upton, Gen. Joseph Wheel

When the ices were served procession
of walters marched in to Il popular air
bearing trays crowned with gilded harps,
full rugged models of Reliance and sham
rock and easels with figures OF yachts
Later women began to appear in the
boxes, among them being the Countess
of Shaftcsbury and many other ladies
who have been Sir Thomas $ guests on
board the Erin.
Mr. Wilson. addressing Sir Thomas,
said that his attitude had struck re-
sponsive chord in every heart

MAKING RAILWAY CURVES.
Delicate Engineering Required to Make
Safe Riding.

George Pullman once said when asked
the secret of easy riding, that the secrets
are so many that no one can keep them.
This is true, but the easing of curves is
one of them says World Work
Curves, no matter how slight. have al
ways been laid as arcs of true circles
The outer rail is raised according to the
sharpness of the curve and the estimat ted
speed of the trains that are to round it,
mile a minute train on d one-degree
curve needs an outer rail five inches
higher than the inner rail: a slower train
a lower elevation, 1t Is clear from this
explanation that a train going faster
that the maximum for which the track
is prepared would shoot off the rails
Conversely, slower train than the one
provided for would grind the hanges off
it's wheels Any road must strike a serv-
iceable average for trains of varying
speeds. and engineers must nurse their
locomotives around the curves as close
to it as possible. That puts an inevita-
BILE check on high speeds The Empire
state express once made n burst for two
miles at the rate of 10G miles an hour
on a straightway section of track A
heavy curve would have shot the engine
at that top speed quarter of a mile
cross country On most roads, however
sixty miles an hour Is quite safe, though
very costly.
TO permit such speed the engineers of
the last few years, in relayng tracks, in
stead of starting a true circle curve with
the sudden lift of the outer rail that
causes the jolt and lurch that travellers
know. have laid a light parabolic curve
from a point hundred yards back on
the straight track, and have elevated the
outer rail imperceptibly along that curve
to the maximum The result of the de
yice-in practice quite new-has been the
annihilatlon of curves as regards a pas
senger's senses. With eyes shut he can
not tell whether the track is straight or
| curved.

New York. Sept. 4.--'rhe Minute Man,
a two-year-cld owned by j. r. Madden,
ran the fastest mile run in the East in
four or five years at Sheepshead Bay to-
day. The game son of Juvenal- Semper
Paratus not only ran remarkably ia st
mile but also beat the great McChesney.
the idol of the West. He went the distance
in ! :3S As. Although the Smathers horse
was defeated he ran an excellent race con
sidering that this was his first start in
nearly two months The race itself was
procession. The Minute Man, jumping
away in front and opening up a gap,
held His advantage to the end, winning
by two lengths. McChesney closed very
strong in the stretch but was never able
to catch the flying leader. THAN, the
only other starter, was beaten off.
The turf handicap. the only stake event
