FALL PROSPECTS
 MUCH BRIGHTER Indications of Growing conf-
 dence Are Numerous IRON AND STEEL STEADY No Accumulation of Cotton Goods, But Purchasers Disregard Future Needs and confine Business to Imme-
 diatc Requirements.
IRON AND STEEL STEADY

New York, September 90-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 The last quarter of 1904 opens with much brighter prospects than prevailed year ago. At that time securities had fallen an aver age of S34 a share from the top point year previous, and there was a general disposition to curtail manufac- turing and commercial operations, be- cause of the heavy losses. The nation was entering on d period of conservatism aug mented by numerous labor controversies. At the present time there are no alarming features, strikes are few and unimpor- tant, while the indications of growing confidence are numerous. Business does not show the hesitation customary dur ing the closing weeks of presidential campaign, and the prospect of profitable agricultural results stimulates trade es- pecially among retailers at the west and south Building operations are expanding, providing a better demand for lumber and materials Clothing and kindred lines are stimulated by colder weather.
 Manufacturing plants are decreasing the pIODDTIlOH Ol lule lHC SIANA complaint coming from cotton mills, which suffer from the disparity between prices of raw material and finished pro- duce. The movement of wheat Is heavy but retarded by inadequate traffic facih- ties at some points, and railway earnings for September exceeded last years by 6.5 per cent. Foreign commerce at this port for the last week showed a small de- crease in exuOrts and a gain of S2, l63, 436 In imports as compared with 1905.
 Security markets have risen $14 above the corresponding date last year, and money Is easier and abundant. With the exception of steel rails which are not on a parity with the rest or Ire market, prices of iron and steel have apparently attained a position of stability, and tardS contracts are gradually coming forward There Is also good inquiry for mei- chant pipe, list prices being strictly cp- served. Ship-builders are seeking plates. and there Is a wholesome movement or machinery and tools.
 Textile manufacturing plants are still operating cn reduced time, particularly as to the New England cotton goods division.
 There Is no accumulation of cotton goods, but purchasers persist in disre- gardng future needs confning business to immediate requirements only. Export trade Is less active, but it served to re- duce supplies. Woolen goods are more active. Liberal purchases of packer hides and talf skins have hardened quo tations somewhat in the western mar kets.
 Failures this week numbered 223 in the United States against 22j last year, and eighteen in Canada compared with ten a year ago.

Grand Circuit Races.

Cincinnati, O., September So-The fea- ture of today's grand circuit racing at Oakley park was Major Delmars attempt to break the worlds trotting record for stallions without windshield of 2 03A. AL though the weather was not very favor able for trial of this kind, the celebrated horse equalled the worlds record. Major Delmar was paced by a running horse. driven by Scott Hudson. The first quar- ter was made in 30% seconds, the half mile in 1:01, the three-quarters in 1902, and the mile ia 2:02A. Major Delmar fin ished in good shape.
 The three other events on the card were hotly contested. In the 214 class pace Funston was made a hot favorite in the first heat After a hard fight through the stretch, Funston succeeded in winning from Edwin c. at the post Edwin c took the second heat. Sunny Slope won the third heat and Edwin c the fourth by head from Sunny Slope. The fifth went to Sun ny Slope, Funston finishing close second. The race of the three heat winners was hotly contested, Sunny Slope getting the decision by head with Funs- ton second and Edwin c third. Prince Alert will try to beat the worlds pacing record of l:59L tomorrow.

LAWYERS PLEASED
 WITH THEMSELVES
THINK THE MEETING JUST ENDED IN ST. LOUIS MEANS MUCH TO- WARD ULTIMATE WORLD PEACE.

St. Louis. septembe- sO-The first con ention of the Universal Congress of Law yers and Jurists concluded today after three days of presentation and discussion Of legal propositions of worldwide in- terest, chief of which was the ultimate establishment of international peace and abolishment of all conflict.
 Associate Justice David Brewer of the United States supreme court. president of the congress, expressed the sentiment that the hope of the prime movers of the con- gress in its success had been fully real ized.
 The opinion was expressed generally by the distinguished delegates from ev- cry nation represented, that the congress marked an epoch in the relations exist oing between the lawyers of the world, which relationship would be far-reach- ing in finally establishing complete understanding Ietween nations, leading to the eventual extinction of war.
 A resolution was unanimously adopted that this congress- recognizing the im- portance of promoting more friendly in- tercourse between lawyers and jurists of the different nations to the end that by harmonious effort they may labor ef- ficiently for the of the law and main ficiently for the i'm. rovement of the law and maintenance of peace, request the American Bar associ- alton to take such steps as are necessary to organize a permanent association of lawyers representing the different countries of the world, which shall meet at intervals to discuss legal questions of public interest.
 The congress also adopted a resolution expressing It's profound grief over the death of one of it's .lost distinguished members, Senator Hoar.

BRADsT?EET's REVIEW.

New Yo.k, September 30--Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
 The word Improvement summarizes briefly the course of trade and general ln- dustry this week. Although the move- ments, as for time past. are along con- servative lines. the undertone Is rather more optimistic than at any previous time this season Reasons for this are found in the continuance of propitious weather conditions, tendency to enlarge final estimates of grain crop yields. more activity in pig iron and better collections, based upon enlarged crop movements. Confirmation of these reports Is found in indicated increases in bank clearings and in continued gains aggregating five per cent in gross railway earnsings over 1903. Money Is on the whole frmer, refiecting belated crop movement necessities. A striking absence of political agitation as effecting trade Is noteworthy and the feel ing generally Is that the year will close better than 1t began.
 Notable feautures are the improvement in Jobbing trade at nearly all western points in dry goods, shoes, groceries, mill linery, hardware, paints and drugs. Warmer weather tends to retard retail trade some what but on the whole helps
 
 time hoped. Southern trade feels the effect of the rapid movement of cotton to market in better jobbing demand, and easier collections. Eastern trade shows a fairly good tone on a rather better in dustrial outlook, and reports of better trade are coming from the west and south
 Among the industries the features are the better buying of pig iron and firmer prices for the furnace product. That moderate improvement has occurred in the cruder forms and may spread to other lines Is now very generally conceded. Coal is rather more active but bitumi- nous prices are still low and not sats- factory. Eastern manufacturers of shoes report good steady orders and larger shipments than of late, but eastern ship ments are per cer. below last year. Leather is quiet and curtailment is still a feature though prices are strong. Hides are very firm.
 Wheat including flour exports for the week ending September 20. aggregate 1,1S3 293 bushels against 964,S73 last week. and 4,0S2,6Sl this week last year. From July 1 to date the exports aggregate IT, 442, 7S3 bushels against 40,297,362 last year. Corn exports for the week aggregate 7O0S62 bushels against 657, ,399 last week, and 1.123s71 year ago. From July l to date the expo .s of corn aggregate IT. 537,53l bushels against 12,729.131 in 1903. 1 Business failures in the United States for the week ending September 29 number 179 gainst 203 last week, and 153 in the like week in 190S
 Canadian failures number 21 as against 27 last week and 1G this week a year ago.
