REVIEW OF IRA D E
Numerous Labor Controver-
sizes Have Affected Traffic.
FURNACES HAVE CLOSED
No Anxiety Exists Concerning
Legislation.

New York, Oct. 25.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow Will
say:
Numerous labor controversies have APP
peared and more furnaces and mills have
closed, the tendency being to operate
only the plants provided with. the most
regarding legislation at the special ses-
sion of congress and despite the curtail-
ment of activity in many manufacturing
lines a heavy volume of business is being
transacted. Western traffic facilities are
proving inadequate, the distribution OF
merchandise being enough at the interior
and, taking the country as a whole. con-
ditions may be sonsidered fairly satisfac-
tory although there are indisputable evil
dences that abnormal activity has receiv-
ed a check. Jobbing trade has become
quiet with the advancing season, and at
many points the weather is not calculat-
ed to maintain buying of wearing ap-
parel at retail. Gross earnings of the
railways thus far reported for October
surp2ss last years by 6.2 per cent An
other general reduction in quotations of
pig iron has occurred, Notwithstanding
the restriction Of output and a movement
is on foot to further reduce production
until business improves. Failures this
week number 279 in the United States,
compared with 239 last year, and in Can
ada 26, against 90 a year ago.

BUTTONS OF IVORY MILK.

In Central America there is fruit pro-
ducing palm which has quite metamor-
phosed the button business and formed
the nucleus for one of the most impor-
tant industries in the United States The
seed of this fruit contains a milk that is
sweet to the taste and is Teiished by the
natives. The milk, when allowed to re-
main in the nut long enough, becomes
indurated and turns into a substance as
brittle and hard as the ivory from the
elephants tusk. The plant which pro
duces these nuts is called the ivory plant.
Most of the buttons ustl in America.
whether called ivory, pearl. bone, horn,
or rubber, come from this ivory plant.
The ivory plant is one of the wonders
of the age and is rewarding its growers
with vast fortunes. The nuts are brought
to the United States by the shipload and
hauled across the continent to the big
button factories, from which they issue
forth in every conceivable design, color,
grade. and classification of button.
The ivory plant has been recently dis
covered in California but the nut il pro-
duces in its wild state is of interior quail
ity and will not make good buttons. Bua
it is believed that with proper cultiva-
tion the fruit will be as valuable as that
of Central America. If so. the growing
of buttons in America should become an
industry of Importance second only to the
growing of corn. wheat and cotton. for
every one wears buttons.

WILD SPORT OF WESTERN FAIR

There was an excursion from this city
of the White Swan band 1t was a
cloudy. rainy day, but a large crowd
took advantage of the cheap rates an1
braved the storm. The occasion of the
excursion was the horse racing al the
Sumpter Racing Association park The
races Were pulled off according to the
program. but they were uninteresting.
The real fun, if it can be dignifed by
such term, was Il ough-and-tumble
scrap with wild steer. which was sub
sequently saddled and ridden By a rough
rider by the name of Hitchcock. The
steer was driven onto the track before
the grandstand and the announcement
made that for 500 purse Hitchcock
would ride the animal around the track
Some horsemen succeeded in roping tn
steer, and then the fun began. The
steer. a large, red animal. weighing
about 1909 pounds, would charge the
horsemen, and they had TO move liveiy
to get out of the way. Fences Were rs
wisps of straw TO the infuriated animal
AT last the steers was thrown and the
rough rider prepared to put the saddle
on. Both the front and hind feet were
tied. but in the midst of the labor of
fastening the saddle on his back, as he
lay on the ground. the steer broke his
bonds and got up. One Of the horsemcn
still had a rope on his horns. which wcs
the only thing that prevented the steer
from goring several people 10 death.
As il was. it was q miracle that several
were not killed. The man and horse ONLY
served as a brake. but they could not
hold the steer. All they could do was TO
prevent him from moving too fast save
when the steer would turn and charga
the horse and rider. and then il would
be a speedy race for a time. Twice the

steer charged crowd of spectators out
side of the fence. He went through the
fence each time, and once on a swing
several people were caught by the rop-
and tripped up. The second charge on
the crowd would have been successful
had not a policeman fired two shots at
the infuriated beast and turned him aside
1t is claimed that neither shock took f
feet, but as the shots were fired in the
direction OF the grandstand and at dis
tance of only fifteen feet from the ste>r
it seems incredible that the officer miss=d
the steer and all the people in the grand
stand, too.
About this time il occurred to the o.
ficers of the association that the sport
was becoming dangerous and the au-
nouncement was made from the judges
stand that the association would not te
responsible il any one was hurt.
The steer was thrown once more and
this time the rider succeeded in fasten-
ing the saddle on his back. BY this time
the steer was pretty well tired out, and
at distance of a hundred yards from
the grandstand he acted like an animal
that had been shot through the body.
But that could not have been. because
everybody declared that the policeman
had missed both shots.
After considerable beating and prodding
and twisting the end of his tail off the
steer got up and made off across stump
patch directly away from the grandstanl.
Fences went down as usual. A small boy
who chanced TO be in the steers path
was charged and knocked down. and IL
was here that the rider did really he
roic act He swung from his saddle AMI
caught the boy before the steer cou.1
turn and gore him. The boy was thrown
to one side 70 place Of safety, and
the steer only gored the boys cap.
which he transfxed with one of his
horns.
On across the fields the steer ran until
out of sight. charging every living thing
in sight, until he was overtaken by the
horsemen, roped and thrown again. when
the saddle was removed and the poor
thing released. At no time did the steer
seem to pay any attention 10 the man on
his back or try to throw him off. All
he seemed bent on doing was to try t.
kill somebody or something.
1t was stated afterwards that the steer
did pay his respects to a gentleman who
rode him by chasing him up a tree after
the saddle was removed and standing
guard at the foot until he was chased
away by men on horseback. Baker City

BEARS VIGOROUS ATTACK

NEW YORK, May 2.-At the start to-
day cotton prices ut Liverpool were not
far from expectations. Then they shot
up and 1880 were from s to 2s points
higher than expected, with tile near po-
sitions showing the greatest strength.
Later they became weaker and declines
were reported, but at the time OF the
local opening they were still about 8
points higher. Last night many OF the
local trades were disposed to look for
a continued decline this morning, and
at the opening here the volume or cover
ing was enormous, while fresh buying
orders came pouring In on the cable news.
Prices opened on the New York Ex-
change at an advance of 9I2o points, with
July selling from 1885 TO 1887 on the call.
The advance at Liverpool was attributed
by many to buying orders from this side.
and those who were yesterday proclaim
ing the collapse OF the bull movement
again protested their confusion In the
bull leaders ability to control tho mar
ket. After the initial rush OF buying. the
bears attacked the market vigorously.
and, being favored by the continued
heavy movement. with favorable crop
weather and the break abroad, were
successful In causing loss from the best
OF about 10 points on Their active months.
Then speculation became less active.
though fluctuations were frequent ard
nervous.
The suspension Of r. NJ, Tucker and
Company, OF Boston, was officially an
nounccd on the exchange this morning,
but had little or no effect on sentiment
as the firm In question Is believed to
have been only slightly Interested in cot.
ton. During the entire forenoon the mar
ket was very Irregular After opening
at 1855 July sold to l0.Ss, declined to
1915, advanced to 10.e1, and at midday
was fuctuating around 1885, with Au-
gnge and September following closely.
while thetlat months showed less nei-
vousness. AS compared with last night.
the market at midday was net Is to IS
points on teh old, and to points higher
on the new crop positions Speculation
was much less active than at any time
recently.
Trading, while perhaps shade more
active towards the last hour. was still
comparatively quiet. Neither side seemed
disposed to take any aggressive action,
and prices ruled from about to 20 POINTS
net higher. The insight for tho week
proved over expectations. and the esti-
mates for to-morrow's movement were
heavy, but the bulls bought enough to
maintain values. and the close was steady
generally, net to IS points higher. July
closed at 1897, August 1867 and Septem-
her 976. May closing at 116o, was net
unchanged. Total sales were 25o, 600 bales
about one-third the sales Of some OF the
