you can and keep in touch with the
trade. We hope, however, to be able TO
commence business not later than the

Another Optimistic Report.
This letter was dated Thursday. Au-
gust T. On that day the official state
ment of the packers said the number Of
men at work at all points was 1868
The progress being made this week, -
continued the report, is satisfactory to
the packers at all points. More men are
being employed, all contracts and cur
rent orders are being filed, and there
is a normal supply of beef, mutton. and
provisions at all points in the United
States, and sales are being made at
lower prices than before the strike COM
menced

COTTON TRADERS
IN BEARlSH MOOD

NEW YORK, Aug. Cotton opened
easy today 2 TO II points lower. There
was considerable selling both at Liver
pool and here this morning that puzzled
the trade more or less. Some brokers
believed that the selling was for Wall
Street interests 1t forced down over
10 points on some options and weak
ened sentiments a little as the weather
map was favorable and Houston had go
bales of new cotton out of total re-
ceipts Of 80 bales The principal early
support came from room shorts who
took advantage OF the break 70 cover.
Generally speaking the market was a
slow affair with traders inclined TO be
bearish.

AT FALL RIVER

FALL RIVER, Aug. "Reminiscences
say there is no change In the situation
either in the matter Of opening the mills

unless the National Civic Federation

Will not be settled with its assistance.
The Intervention of business men and

Speculatively. the most interesting de-
vclOpmeUtS in the market yesterday
were the movements in American Sugar
and one OF two other issues which. al
though old-timc speculative favorites,
have been much in the background Of

and strong at the same time much to
the satisfaction of those who had the

Current transactions in the stock mar
ket are not heavy enough TO suggest an
active interest in speculation for the
account OF the sO-called public APP
parently the outsiders are not disposed
to enter the market at the current
level. while it IS evident that the pro-
fessional element on the stock exchange
is anxious to bring about lower
range Of values. The fact, however.
that securities are in the hands of
strong people prevents bear operations
from being attended with much sue
cess. 1t Is a noteworthy feature of the
present situation that stocks quickly re-
cover from reactions, while II is found
much e0sier to advance prices than TO
depress them. At the moment there IS
nothing on which a bear campaign
could be based, inasmuch as conditions
affecting the actual worth OF securities
are sound. money is extremely easy,
politics is not eXerting a disturbing in
flueuce on speculative sentiment. and
the position of the crops does not war
rant the expectation of a poor harvest.

leans today with prices slightly above
our closiug.

"0pen Shop" Talk.

So, whereas, before the employers were
careful to say they didn't object to union
labor, now many OF them talk frankly
OF the "open shop" as the only solu-
ton Of the difficulty, and though, TO be
sure. Charles L. Eidlitz. president Of the
building Trades Employers Association,
says even now that the open shop is not
wanted, the frankness of the others
counts for something.
The employers expect apparently no
concessions, and the question OK wages
seems not to be involved. AS the en-
ployers put IL. the question IS one Of
the present faithfulness to contracts and
self-prPs ervation.
On tbs other hand. the spokesman OF
the union seem ready enough 10 enter
the conflict on the same basis-which
for them Is a question OF life and death
Each side wears az air of confidence
and Il looks Ike a long fight, with re-
suits to the building industry of this
city as serious as those of the days OF
Sam Parks.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

It IS interesting to note that for tunes are frequently made by the in- ventiUn of articles of minor impOr- tance. Many of the most popular de- vices are those designed to benefit the people and meet popular conditions, and One of the most interesting of these that has ever been invented is the Dr White Electric comb, patented January l, 1899. These wonderful combs positively cure dandruff, hair falling out, sick and nervous head aches, and when used with Dr Whites Electric hair brush are positively guar anteed to make straight hair curly in 9 days time. Thousands of these electric combs have been sold in vsri- Ous cities of the Union, and the de mand is constantly increasing. Our agents are rapidly becoming rich sell ing these combs.

The Mohawk river is crossed on toll bridge, two cents toll, the same for wheelmen as fOOtmen, the usual way on our toll bridges. On the other side a cycle path begins which continues most of the way to Amsterdam. As the roads average poor, the path is great boon to any wheelman traveling that way. I comprehended why the automobilists in their recent tour across the states stopped long enough in Utica to convey their compliments to the Governor (who has been known to veto appropriations for State rOadS) and inform him the roads from Albany to Utica were
 1NExECRABLY THE WORST IN ANY
 CIVILIZED LAND.
 On my re turn I met an automobile making rail fence tracks around the small stones at an Oxcart pace. They had trials enough without my calling their attention to the same. But worse ones were in store. Near Am sterdam a piece of State road was in the making, passable in some places only by climbing up through barn. yard. A wheelman can shoulder his vehicle to chamber over stone heaps or scramble across ditch. The cross roads from the river road lead immedi- ately skyward up stony toboggan slide of hill. In spite of it's poor condition, the road is practically level, the grade being gradual or else short. The well built stone culverts bear witness to the fact that it was originally an import ant highway.
 On the river bank not far out from Schenectady, stands an old patriarchal brick house, apparently, but not prob at the Schenectady massacre. It is essentially Dutch in build, utterly un- like anything ever saw in Connecti- cut. It is of a sto]idly contented as- pect, rather low, with long slopes of roof.

The soil is at first sandy, changing to gravel on the higher land where the road runs when possible. It does not seem to be burdened with overtility. The flats looked to be much richer. These are quite often flooded in the spring road is crossed several times by the Fonda, Johnstown and Gloversville tracks of their Schenectady branch, on it's own right of way. This is a steam road that has electric lines as we'll, and is now in active competition with the steam cars. Their limited cars, making no stops between cities, are the finest electric ones l ever be- held. They are over 50 feet long, weigh 43 tons, finished in Pullman styles with every improvement, includ- ing telephones connecting the two plat forms. The motorman'S uniform is very trim, with gilt buttons and braid. The accommodation cars are up to the average of large cars. Cattle guards are being put in at the highway cross ings, as the result of a dead COW law suit, the statute providing that all railroads" shall be so equipped. The hills on the north side could not see very we'll. On the south they are quite high and usually well wooded. The highest hill lies back of Rotterdam Junction and rises much higher than any mountain in Fairfield county, ac- cording to the U. $. Geological Survey maps. A Brooklynite, resident on the plane surfaces of the prairies for few asked the conductor what mountains those were that he saw. He was in- formed that they were nothing but hills-I William Fl.
