Bio Attendance of Outside Buyers
Tones Activity. Of General Trade.
Chicago, Aug. I'm activity the
general trade experienced an unexpect-
ed rally owing to a combination Of un-
usual market conditions. While the
volume Of receipts for the week shows
ar increase of nearly $50 head, the
run was 81 head below the arrivals the
previous week Estimated receipts to-
tai for the week 1,744 against 1,s1e
lest week, 1890 last year and 1881 for
the corresponding week in 1908. The
attendance of outside operators was
Unexpectedly increased and the activ-
ity on all commercial classes was more
aggressive throughout the week. The
high quality of the offerings operated
to stimulate the market and all phases
of the trade showed improved tone.
One firm sold at retail on Tuesday 100
head Of choice drafters at $175@325
for good to fancy offerings Good to
choice drafters were brisk sellers at
$166@225, with stabilized consignments
$226 and upward, according to weight
and quality. Expressers ruled active
at s125@160 and upward. Eastern
chunks and wagon horses met broad
demand at $100@135, with fancy offer
ings a shade higher. Owing to the yell
low fever scourge prevailing in the
south small southern chunks We're in
feeble demand at S45@115. Choice
harness horses were norninally steady
at S160@365, with common kinds dull
at $75@125. While general trade for
the week was highly satisfactory for
all good business offerings, dealers do
not anticipate it's continuance and look
for a sharp reaction in outside de-
mand this week, as the principal east
ern stables purchased a good supply
last week and will not place further
orders until later. In volume of re-
ceipts and broad outside demand the
summer market shows gains over last
season.

Increased Revenues In September Brins 1t |
Down to Sd .623 500.

WASHINGTON, Sept. s0.-The Treasury
deficit was reduced $1,000 900 as a result OF
the increased receipts for the month OF
September, the Government now teing
only sse235eo behind on the first three
months OF the fiscal year. year ago the
deficit was about $4,000, 900, or practically
the same as a month ago. This good show
ing is made withstanding. comparative
increase OF 81 ,O00, 900 in the disbursements
for September and is due to a surplus OF
$4,000 0o0 in the receipts from customs and
nearly 100000 in the internal revenue
collections.
For the three months the revenues from
customs have exceeded by nearly $40, ,000, 900
those for the like period last year, and the
collections OF internal revenue also show
an increase amounting to $4,000 900. II the
present rate Of increase is maintained, this
year's deficit, which reached its highest
point ($20,047, ,000) on August 23 will soon
be wiped out, and the Government will
shortly have balance on the other side
of the ledger. ---...
The effect OF the inflow is shown by an
increase Of $7,295 sls in the cash balance
Of the Treasury which now stands at
sl34, 400 1892, against $l27,113,5l4 on August
81. There has also been an increase OF

NEW PHASE OF ALBERS CASE.
Nicara sua's Minister Seeking Information
Detrimental to HIS Character.


Detrimental to HIS Character.
WASHINGTON, Sept. so.-The relations
between this Government and Nicaragua
concerning the case Of William s. Albers,
an American imprisoned in Nicaragua,
have not been bettered by a recent dis
oovery on the part Of the State Depart
ment that Sehor Corea. the Ninaraguap
Minister here, is trying to secure facts
detrimental to the character OF Albers.
It is presumed that whatever information
the Minister can obtain will be presented
to the State Department to show that Albers
ia the sort OF man who would be likely to
break the laws of Nicaragua and who
accordingly should not receive q great
deal Of consideration by this Government.
The new phase Of the situation came un-
expectedlv to the State Department when
several letters written by the Minister to
persons he believed knew. Albers we're
received, eaying that any information they
had about Albers would be given to the
State Department and not to the Minister
The Minister'S letters read about like this:
Understanding that you have acquaint-
anoe with William s. Albers, can you fur
nish me with inforrna ton with regard to
his private lie or in connection with his
business enterprises?"
While the plan adopted by the Minister
is perhaps thoroughly legitimate. officers
OF the State Department think 1t Is some
