TRADE GONDlIIUdS GOUU
AN oPToMIsTIC OUTLOOK AS TO
THE FUTURE.
Business Retarded by Elections Tenn,
porarily-Better Activity il
Leading Industries.

New York, Nov. 12.-Bradstreet's
avs: Interest in the elections and uL-
,e~asoLably warm weather in some sec
ions have retarded trace, but the more
,ptimiStic outlook as to the future found
election later in an enlargement Of
.Jholesale and jobbing business, a tirmer
one of prices and more assured activity
Il many leading industries. Official re-
Gorts OF past crop yields and adViCes of
.lrgely increased acreages in fall-sown
rops were contributors to the confident
ceiling. In ADDITION, reports as to the
outlook for holiday and next springs
trade have proved favorable. Relatively
the best reports as to trade and collec-
lions have come from the south, but
leading western cenIers have reported
improvement in recorder business, and
there is rather more snap to demand al
the east from jobbers and first hands.
Collections have been rather better and
money has ruled easy. OF the country's
leading products, special activity is
noted this week in iron and steel, coal,
coke, hardware, hides, leather, grocer
les, lumber and building material, the
latter two particularly at the west.
Drugs, paints, glass, whisky, tobacco,
live cattle, sheep and hogs note a full
s~easonable movement at generally sat-
is%factory prices"
R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says: All measures of trade in
dicated the customary loss due to hol-
iday interruption, but subsequently
much of the deficit was regained, numer-
GUS evidences of increasing confidence
being seen in the disposition to place or
ders for distant shipment. Increased
consumption Of pig iron is also signif-
cant and in other leading branches Of
manufacture there is a steadily dimin-
ishing percentage Of idle machinery.
Foreign commerce at this port for the
last week shows a decrease of 1852, 9O5
in exports, compared with last year,
figures, while imports increased 1884,
S91. Receipts of coffee were a prominent
factor in this gain. Railway earnings
in October exceeded last years by 3.8
per cent. Failures this week numbered
213 in the United States, against 283
last year, and II in Canada, compared
with q a year ago."

Mrs. Gertrude Spencer Lacey, who
has been the superintendent Of the
Endeavor since its organization some
thing over three years ago With
less than twenty young ladies in the
society, it is surprising how much
charity work the young ladies accom-
plish. They have endeared them
selves by their philanthropy to scores
of poor people in the city to whom
they devote a part of each day under
the leadership of the woman whose
~unselfish devotion to the afflicted has
made her name loved by the suffering
humanity Of Oskaloosa. About $500
was cleard by the musical and the
amount will be used in carrying
Thanksgiving dinners to the needy
and deserving about the city.
The program was delightful
throughout. The fifth number was
accompanied by Miss Alice Burnside,
and the remainder of the accompani-
ments were furnished by Miss Louise
Iindner. Every number on the pro-
gram is worthy of especial mention,
and the entire success Of the evening
is very gratifying to the young ladies
who thus gave to the public their
maiden effort as sole entertainers for
an entire evening. A word about the
readings of Miss Perkins, who has but
recently come to this city to instruct
in Penn college, might not be amiss.
The lady Is partiel to the beautiful in
literature and affects a simple, recita-
tive style, free from affectation and
i~mpersonation. Her Interpretation is
entirely intelligent and her voice Is
smooth and well rounded.

G. H. Paine was arrested in Ottum-
wa Friday by Constable Andrews on
a warrant issued in Justice Prichett's
court upon information signed by J.

ing embezzlement. The young man

tel Downing, made arrangements with
young Paine concerning the care OF
a number of hogs. Mr.. Hien was to

fattened with the swill coming from
the hotel kitchen. Paine was to keep
the hogs at his place and look after
them. The animals we're to be sold
when the market was right and each
was to share in the profits. Mr.. Hien
claims that Paine disposed of the hogs
upon his own motion and without con.
sent or authority, and moreover he
pocketed the proceeds and converted
the cash to his own use. Juse what
defense Mr.. Paine will make to the
charges against him is not known at
this time.

DISASTER ON THE ATLANTIC
UNITED STATES SUPPLY SHIP
SINKS A SCHOONER.
Collision Occurs Off Barnegat Light
Captain, His Wife and Two
Seamen Lost.

New York, Nov. 12.-Capt. Robert
Walton, his wife and two seamen, lost
their lives Wednesday night off Barne-
gat light, when the United States sup
ply ship CulgOa cut down the Norfolk
lumber schooner Wilson and Hunting.
Three members of the crew, the mate,
cook and a seaman, were rescued by
the CulgOa anu were brought here Fri
day. The accident occurred, according
to the survivors, about seven o'clock
in the evening. The schooner was ten
miles west OF Barnegat, lacking off
shore, when she was struck by the Gull
goa, which was making for New York.
The steel bow of the supply ship STRUCK
the schooner nearly amidships and cut
half way, throwing the smaller vessel
on her beam ends. The Culgoa kept on
at full speed, with the intention of
keeping the schooner fastened to its
bow until the crew could be rescued.
The gaping hole in the side of the sail
ing vessel was sc large, however, that
it slid off to one side. A boat from
the Culgoa rescued three men. No 9TH
ers were seen and it is thought that
Capt. Wilson went below after his wife
when the collision occurred and that
they were both drowned, with two sea-
men, who were in their hunks. The
Culgoa stayed by the capsized schooner
all night and at daylight Thursday
morning lowered two more boats, but
the sailors were unable to discover any
signs of life on the wreck. The
schooner is now believed to be drifting
about near Barnegat.

THREAT OF PENALTY

PROMISED PUNISHMENT OF CRIME
Declared That I5.Cent Cotton VIII
Be The Ruin of the United States
Scared Foreigners.

Washington, 9pecial.-"A Revolt
zstnst American Cotton is the title
of a long report just received at the
State Department from United States
| Consul General Mason, at Berlin, Ger
many.
Mr.. Mason says that foremost among
the economic movements in Europe
which may have serious meaning for
important interests in America is the
present simultaneous effort of Great
Britain, France and Germany to eman-
cipatc their textile industries from de-
pendence upon American cotton. The
portentous feature of the situation IS
that there is not only in Germany but
Throughout Europe, growing feeling
of resentment against this dependence
and determination that their spinning
and weaving industries must at any
cost be emancipated from such vassal-
age By the development Of wholly new
sources of supply. The German press
charges that the American cotton mar
lset is at the mercy of the SPECTATORS
who drive up and own the prices to SUIT
their own purposes. Thus far the
movement Is iii it's infancy, but its fu-
ture may be ominous for the cotton
growers of our Southern States, says
Mr.. Mason. Experiments in the East
African colonies during the last/two
wears have been successful is an
nounced that there are maNy square
miles of land in East AfEjea with soil
and climate we'll adapted for the cul-
tivation OF cotton. Through the Ger
man consul at GaNeston arrangements
are being made xo send over and edu-
cate AGRICULTURAL schools and on plan
tations in Texas number of young
Germans/who before going will con-
tract to spend a number of years as
superintendent Uf plantations in the
German African cotton colonies. Coolie
Labor from China will be employed in
| case the natives prove too incompe'
tent.
1t may lie many ,.n""e before this
European crusade for colonial cotton
may be accomplished but, says Mr..
Mason. whether we like it or not the
day will come sooner or later when
the cotton of our Southern uplands and
valleys will no longer be king beyond
| the frontiers Of the United States.

HIS wIFE,s VIEW OF IT.

any woman other than his wife"
A young man stepped forward and
said, Give me the hat
Are you ready TO swear" asked
the shopheeper.

ly.
''Take the hat" said the halter, who
then added: When were you mar
rieG. by the way?"
Last night" replied the young
man.
This was the joke-the joke on the
hatter-which the prominent citizen
ran home and repeated to his wife
Will much susto.
After he had finished the wife did
not seem to appreciate the humor as
keenly as had been anticipated by
the husband.
why don't you laugh?" asked the
latter. Don't you think it is funny?'

"Why didn't you bring homo the hat
