At HIGH TIDE.
Railway Earnings Exceed
Those of Last September
by Over Nine Per Cent
ALL LINES ACTIVE

NEW YORK, Oct 5.--R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow
will say. No unfavorable Developments
have appeared except the damage by
storm in the SOUTH which was almost
entirely local in effect. Autumn trade
lis now in full swing, and the activity
of transportation is shown by railway
earnings in September, which were 9.2
per cent larger than last years fig
ures.
Crop returns are up to expectations,
aside from some loss in cotton, which
caused a violent rise in prices.
Commercial failures this week In the
United States were 1s3. against 1sS
last week, 200 the preceding week, and
le5 in the corresponding week last
year. Liabilities of commercial fail
ures reported for September We're So
255,s55. compared with ss.o3s.547 a year
ago.
Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
Trade is still of record volume for the
season, and industry is active beyond
precedent. The firmer tone of cereals
is largely due to reports of improving
export demand. Some scaling down
Of estimates of available supplies for
exports apparently had an effect upon
European buyers.
The three most important general
lines of the country's trade-textiles,
iron and steel, and building materials
show unprecedented activity. The vol
ume of traffic on the railways is very
large, taxing all available facilities
and presaging q sharp congestion when
winter-iike weather arrives.
Copper is UP one cent per pound, de-
mand. domestic and foreign, being
heavy. American intervention in Cuba
and the prompt disarmament of the
parties to the dispute have put new
face on the sugar situation. Refined
sugars have declined twenty points,
and raws are lower here and In Europe.
Business failures for the week end
ing October 4 in the United States
numbered 1856, against 1e5 last week,
and lSs in the like week of 1905. In
Canada the failures numbered %,
against 2T last week. and 25 in the

not take long, if any time thereafter, to
open up some fine ore bodies. IN driving
the first 800 feet of the tunnel several
fine stringers and feeders to the main
vein have been te~ped, and in some of
them Sensationally Ugh grade ore in small
quantities was encountered. No halt was
