and from many sources come reports of steadily expanding trade, while ii Is not exceptional to find comparisons with the corresponding week last year favorable to 1904. Retail trade in fail lines of dry goods. clothing, millinery and nearly all wearing apparel shows healthy growth. and for hardware household utensils and kindred lines there Is broader demand. The best development of the week was the re- sumption of work in many industries that have suffered through strikes while serious controversies were averted.
 Crop progress Is better than the av. craze. and hiIl prices promise large profits to the farmers. Railway freight is heavy, chiefly due to the marketing of grain and cotton. and holds up bet ter than foreign commerce, which suffers from prices above the views of consumers abroad. yet the last weeks s returns for this port were encourag- ing. exports increasing s736.3S3, in comparison with the same week last year. while imports gained $2,57s,343.
 Signs of better conditions in leading manufacturing industries multiply as the season advances, and the actual amount of business in sight has ln- creased very materially, despite the in- disposition of the railways to place or ders freely for rolling stock, rails and other equipment.
 At the South there is still trouble on account of the bituminous coal miners strike, which threatens the coal market Resumption of work by several proml nent Western steel companies, provided more pig iron furnaces in blast
 Restoration of more normal condi tions fin the packing industry has re moved some of the artificial strength from the hide market, and poor quail ties are offered at pronounced conces- sions. Sole leather Is dull, with tn. exception of union backs Conserva- tism is stil the more prominent char acteristic of the primary market for cotton goods.
 Revival of irregularity in the raw material again caused reluctance among both buyers and sellers to antic ipate further needs Foreign demands still removes considerable surplus and would be larger If quick deliveries could be made of grades for which there is inquiry.
 Woolens and worsteds are strong and quiet. The future of this industry is largely dependent upon the raw ma terial. which is expected to advance still further at the London auction sale on September 20.
 Failures this week number 200 in the United States as against 1T2 last year; and in Canada 16, compared with 19 a year ago.

WASHING WITHOUT WATER.
Is Like Trying to Get Hid of Dandrun
 Wit%iut Herpictde.

Did you ever see any one trying to wash themselves without soap or water ?
 If you did what would you say of him?
 It Is every bit as foolish to try to get rid of Dandruff and to prevent Bald ness by feeding the germs which cause 1t. with Qanthrarides. Vaseline, Glycer- inc and similar substances which form the principal ingredients of most so- called Hair Vigors
 Newbros Herpicide Is successful be- cause it attacks and kills the parasitic germ which feeds on the hair roots.
 It is the original and only genuine scalp germicide manufactured.

WORK OF BUGS AND WORMS.
Industriously EndeavOrInE to Reduce
 the Yield of Cotton.

Columbus. Ga. Sept. 9.-(Special)- If the cotton yield in this section of Georgia and Alabama fig not cut off con siderably 1t won't be the fault of vari- ous and divers industrious insects and worms. Every day farmers are in the city from nearby points in the two States bringing samples of cotton ruined by flies, bugs, sharpshooters and caterpillars.
 The ravages of the caterpillars are confined to a few farms below the city. The most common complaint is from a kind of fly which stings the cotton boIls. with the result that they blacken and die. the decay spreading from one small spot. A. T. Slaughter, of liar ris County. brought to town cotton plants from his county infested in the same manner Joseph C. Houston, of Smiths Station. Ala, brought in bolIs which he thought were infested with sharpshooters.

NEWS OF PENSACOLA
l.. q N. SAID TO HAVE ACQUIRED
 ANOTHER ROAD.
The Great Trunk System Reported to Have Obtained Control of Yel. low River and New Train Service is Expected.

Pensacola, Fla. Sept. s.-(special) Within the next day or two. it is reported in this city. the Louisville and Nashville Railroad will acquire complete possession of the branch line running from Crestview. Fla, in . northeasterly direction to Florala Ala. The rumor comes from excellent sources, and 1t is expected the deal will be consummated tomorrow.
 Eighteen months or more ago 1t was reported that the big corporation had scooped in the branch. Recently, how ever, 1t Is the understanding that the Louisvillee and Nashville was very far from getting possession of it.
 This branch has been known as the Yellow River Railroad, and is about thirty miles in length. At Florala it has connections with the Central of Georgia. and further to the northward. or to Opp, Ala. there Is an extension over the Alabama and Florida divi- sion from Montgomery. The proposi- tion now Is to extend the passenger train service from this city to Opp. and thence, by belt, reach the Alabama capital. The Pensacola trains will stop at Opp, and connections from other sections of southeast, Alabama will be possible.
 What lends color to the rumor is the announcemeent that the rates from Pensacola through the Fiorala country will be madee much more reasonable within the near future, the date not having yet been given out. It 10 thought, however, that the 18th of tho present month is the time the new rate card will become effective.

Soldiers are Home.

Two companies of the local militia which have been in camp at St. Augus- tine for the past two weeks, reached home this morning on a special train and a more depressed set of troopers never reached this city. The encamp. ment was anything but what most of the boys had thought it would be. Captain Landrum of Company K. had to hobble on crutches for the most of the time. Erysipelas of a dangerous type manifested itself in his foot soon after the eucampment grounds were reached, and he had to recline on a bunk for the most of the time. Oth- CTS of the company were sick. while some worked harder than they ever have been made to work before, &C., cording to their stories. Private Will kerson was made paymaster's clerk, and distinguished himself in target practice. winning the honors there.
 The majority of the soldiers were kept so busy that they had no time to communicate with their relatives. and when the special arrived this morning there was some surprise. as letter under date of Wednesday was printed in this city yesterday after noon saying that there was a rumor that the men would remain in camp until a return Of the troops from Ma. nassas.
