CONDITION OF BUSINESS
Continued Congestion in Railway
Traffic-Copper Higher.
Trade Active
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say Trade has been active
as rarely before at this season, despite
widespread holiday observances, warm
weather in parts of the south and bad
fains in the northwest.
The really serious cause of complaint, a
reflection in itself of superabundant pros
perity is the practically country wide con-
gestion in railway traffic, which affects
the grain movement, collections and re-
tail trade in the northwest, delays deliV-
cry of badly needed coal supplies in the
entire west, interferes with the move
ment of cotton to market at the south and
hampers manufacturing operations in the
iron and steeel, textile, lumber and other
trades. Railway men appear awake 10
the situation and are working energetic
ally, but the near approach of the winter
season renders the outlook dubious.
Copper is higher, little is available for
prompt shipment, domestic consumption
is heavy and over-sea demands are large.
At Boston this week the feature has been
large sales of Oregon wool, but clothing
and fleece woods have Sold well also.
Primes have an upward tendency.

DOG UPSETS BIG POLE;
SIX PERSONS ARE HURT

MOUNT VERNON, ILL.,, Nov. 3d.
While 10000 persons were watching a
balloon ascension at the fair grounds
here today a dog that Prof" Wasson
had arranged to drop from the basket
with a parachute, became entangled
in the ropes and upset pole that IN
jured six persons. The most seriously
injured are Hershell Bell, son of the
Rev. Mr.. Bell, pastor of the Unitarian
church here, and William Smith.
Before the excitement of the first
accident had subsidized 1t looked for
moment as though prof" Wasson
would lose his life. Everything ap-
peared to be in perfect trim for the
ascension. A parachute was attached
to the dog and the professor" got into
the carriage. He prepared the trapeZe
ffom which he was to hang in midair.
Suddenly the balloon shot upward.
The dog was carried against a pole
that had been used to steady the bal
loon during its imitation, and down
went pole and dog, and a moment
later the yelping dog tumbed into the
crowd.
The aeronaut saw the accident as he
ascended, and started to cut loose his
parachute. Before he could unloosen
the entangled ropes he was a mile in
the air.
AS he shot downward the parachute
opened only part way and it APP
peared to the spectators as though he
must meet sure death. He struck the
earth quarter of a mile from the
point where the dog had mixed up
with the pole, uninjured.

In all departments of agriculture, indus

Less activity is noted in the hide mar
