MAY WITHDRAW GRAIN
From the Minimum Rate List Between
Engl land and the States.

New York, Oct.-Grain may be with
drawn soon from the list of articles
upon which the London Liverpool
Steamship lines operated from the va
rioHs Atlantic ports maintain minimum
rates. At a meeting Of representatives
OF the various lines it has been decided
to recommend sucH withdrawal and the
matter has now been referred bacl, 50
far as the foreign lines are concerned,
to the agreement. The International
Mercantile Marine CO., withdrew the
Antwerp rate last week and is under
stood to favor withdrawal so far as
Liverpool and London is concerned.
The movement is being pushed by
grain interests throughout the country
in the hope of being able to compete or
moro favorable terms with reduced
railroad ard steamer rates against the
Canadian exporters. Much American
grain is now going by way Of the Cana
dian lines owing to the lower tariffs.

PATRICK MAY ESCAPE

Of VIM. NJ Rice, lead to the discovery
of a remarka bic chain of circumstances
by which Patrick may escape the cleo

months have passed since the week in
which he was to have died for the muir
der of Millionaire VIM. M. Rice, his
execution being stayed ostensibiy by an
arpeal to the court of appeals, but the
records of the court show no such ap-
peal in existence. The legal time for
tho filing Of such appeals elapsed six
months ago and a legal problem which
may prove exceedingly troublesome
lies behind the case as to how the sem
tcnce may again be imposed upon him.

MOVEMENT Is SLOW.
Merchants Not Looking for Brs!<neas
According to kris Authority.

New Yc}!5, oct. Sd .-p;...I''c '...,.
from correspondence of iuc lntcr.i..tion-
al Mercantile Agency throughout IT,.
United States are summarized as fol-
lows:
Merchants generally are not anti"i-
pating requirements vita the freedom
hereto noted, partly on account of
weather and crop conditions and In part
because of Industrial slowing Gown
Car congestion is caused by relatively
heavier Western movements.
Dry goods At wholesale are moving
from New York more slowly The biz
silk aution shows Il better demand. Re-
tail merchants in New England report
a falling off and jobbcrs with Southern
connections; a like situation in Atlantic
coast states. Country merchants in
spring wheat regions are still behind
earlier anticipations.
The cotton plant has deteroratci and
is later than anticipa ted. Indian corn is
reported as secure from frost. Colo
weather checks raisin- curing in Cali
fornia.
Financial adviccs at large ccnters in
dicates that neither imports nor banit
.debtedness abroad is increasing. Jas.
II. Eckels, former comptroller of the
currency, sends word that increased
Western bank loans. compared with
last year are not due to the banks
carrying speculative accounts.
Arrangements for general reduction
of pig iron production cause better feel
ing among Western consumers. but all
finished iron and steel is quite dull,
except wire products. United States
Steefs confession to having over
100000 tons fewer than Il year
before is taken as evidence that
the general industrial tide has
actually turned and that Il contest
between producers and consumers in
other lines may be expected. Pittsburg,
however, reports maximum column or
general trade. New England cotton
mills are running on short time; some
are storing products. There is no au-
parent check to labor disturbances.

OLD
HOME
WEEK.
A Letter
From the
Author of
the "Old
Homestead
DEN MAN
THO MpS9N.

1T is particularly appropriate at this
time. when Old Home Week has re-
Gently been observed in so many cities
and towns, to refer to Il letter from
Denman Thompson, he who made the
"Old Homestead household name in
America. This noted author and artist.
who has done so much to encourage
love of home, writes: Il am glad to
indorse Father Johns Medicine as u
tonic and body builder and an excellent
remedy for colds and lung troubles"
The Importance of avoiding patent
medicines containing poisonous nerve
deadening drugs and weakening stimu-
lants, warrants again calling your at
tention to the fact that Father Johns
Medicine is not a patent medicine, but
the prescription of an eminent spe-
cialist who prescribed it for the late
Rev. FIR. John O'Brien of Lowell, Mass,
fifty years ago, by whom it was recon-
mended and from whom it derived it's
name. II is a pure food medicine, free
from alcohol, morphine, opium or pois-
onouS drugs or weakening stimulantS
in any form. 1t nourishes the blood
and drives out all impurities Its gentle
laxative effect strengthens the stomach
and corrects the digestion. 1t restores
health and strength to rundown sys-
TENS. When you ask your druggist FOR
Father Johns Medicine, remember that
the 81 bottles contain three times the
quantity of the so cent size. No honest
druggist will try to force you TO take
some other preparation when you call
for Father Johns Medicine whose ms
tory of 80 years OF success ana It's
reliable Endorsements proves beyond
doubt its remarkable value.

TRADE REVIEW.
No Developments Of Importance
in Commercial World.
Caution Seen Among Manufacturers
About Making Contracts.
Financial Uneasiness Abatins as the
Season Advances.

New York, Oct. 9-R. C. Dun & Cos.
Weekly Review of Trade, tomorrow,
will saw: There have been no develop
merits of Importance in the commercial
world. AS a rule there is more caution
in making contracts, especially among
manufacturers. Uneasiness regarding
the financial situation recedes as the
season advances, without producing
any monetary pressure in connection
with crops moving. The proposed re-
duction in pig iron output has been en-
dorsed by all leading producers. Other
manufacturing news IS favorable, eX-
cept where the raw material markets
are unsettled or labor struggles cause
trouble. Trade locally is quiet, prcpa-
rations for election, together with UNI
seasonable weather having an adverse
effect. Weather retard the sale of fall
and winter clothing at Boston.
Reduced dividends and curtailed pro-
duction in the iron and steel industry
show that conservatism is increasing
and that there is no disposition to DIS
guise the fact that business is not pro-
crossing without interruption.
Progress in agricultural sections is
closely watched, as a large tonnage OF
iron and steel is dependent upon sue
cess on the farms. Lower freight rated
but no further concessions are expected
owing to the reduction Of about % per
cent. in output.
Textile manufacturers report no in
crease in business and jobbing trade is less
active than in the busy weeks immediate
ly preceding. Another sharp fail in raw
cotton has not stimulated makers OF
goods, nor are buyers disposed to be any
less conservative. Stocks of goods al
ready on hard are surrendered m ore
readily, although forward business is still
placed with difficulty.
Despite the remarkable reduction in
cotton, goods are still below q parity
which prevents the resumption of idle
mills that have no raw material on hand
Exports of brown sheetings are small
No Improvement can be discerned at wool
en- worsted mills. Heavy auction So lc.
of silks suggest that stocks have accu-
mulated although very fair quotations ar,
obtained.
Vigorous activity continues at footwear
factories all over the country, the excep
tionally brisk trade in this industry pro
voising no little comment. Deliveries are
barely made on time. Jobbcrs are OK
rected, next week, in the leading markets
