the Colombians have already started to

There is great hustle in the armory to-

Col. Barrett, of the Panamanian army,
said to-day: -Four hundred to 500 men,
stationed in the only three passes avail
able, can defeat an army. We have all
the men we actually need, for the fight
ing will be done in the mountains.
We expect to repel the invasion with

the inhabitants sought to sever their

Newspapers received from Bogota con-

Is to 20 points in response to easier
cables and the liquidation of longs
who were apprehensiye of better
bureau report than they expected.
During the morning session there
was excitement and activity, accom-.
panied by extreme irregularity, but
in general way the market showed
weakness partly due, no doubt, to the
feeling that bullish bureau report
had been discounted, while the state
ment issued by the bull leader, after
the close of the market on the pre-
yious nigh to tn effect that he feared
a decline irrespective of the showing
by todays report, was the cause Of
considerable liquidation. At the low
point of the morning, prices showed
a loss of "a to A points. AS the hour
Tor the report was reached, there was
a partial rally on covering by shorts
who preferred profit taking on the
break to waiting the result of the bu-
reau and just before the statement
was issued September stood at 1861;
October 10.46; December 1851; jan
uary 1854; and March 1858.
The reported average condition of
S4.1 percent was followed by active
liquidation. In less than five min
utes after the report was read, prices
were down 20 points from the figures
previously recorded. OF course there
was heavy covering on this addition
al decline which carried prices near
ly cent a pound from the high point
of last Wednesday, but there was ag-
gressive pressure from leading bear
interests and during the afternoon the
market continued to work lower in
an irregular way until September
was selling around 1887; October

and March 10.40 Or a net declhe of

There was the slightest of rallies
at the close on room shorts taking
profits and the market was finally
steady at net decline of 81 to 10
points.
Sales were estimated at S,SO0,0O0

COLLECTIONS NOT UP TO NORMAL

| New York, Sept. 2.-Bradstreet to-
morrow will say: Further expansion
in fall trade is noted at leading cen
tres and the last week in August has
seen the largest business done since
| the opening of the season. Crops have
made fair progress. Collections have
been nothing to boast of-backward,
in fact. Failures were more numer-
Gus in August than in July and nearly
all sections and a few more suspen-
sions of manufacturing concerns have
swelled the liabilities beyond those in
August year ago.
Railway earnings returns show
slight gains over last year. The in
dustrial outlook is a still and unset
tied one. Efforts to revive the dying
meat strike by extending to indepen-
dent houses has caused some irregu-
larity and uncertainty in the market
for live stock and for meats. Gen
eral prices in reductions of live ami
mails are unfavorable. The indus
trial outlook at New York is also I'M
settled by reason of the drifting apart
of employers and employees in the
building trades and the prospects of
strike of motor men on the subway.
The general tone of labor affairs is
one of irritation.
Dispatches to Bradstreets indicate
enlarged sales of dry goods, clothing
and shoes, the best business so far in
fact being transacted at Chicago. At
the south centers trade is increas-
ing, such as Memphis, Atlanta and
Little Rock.
On the Pacific coast distributive
trade is still slow to improve. Wool
is firm at eastern centers. A ten
dency toward higher prices OF many
staples was noted this week.
