The question now of greatest mo-
 ment to business men is: Are we en-
 tering a business reaction, asks Bank
 CT Clews. Every indication points to an affirmative answer. Wall street
 being the financial nerve. center of the country is the first to feel a set
 back. From hence the wave of de- pression will spread to every section
 of the country with more or less sev-
 erity. Improvements. enlargements
 and new enterprises of all sorts have
 been checked by the developments at 1 the chief financial centers. Copper
 has perhaps felt this reaction more severely than any other article be-
 cause of the excessive speculation
 which has taken place in that metal.
 and the fact that in many cases its use can be dispensed with and substi-
 tutcs used. Iron felt the reaction
 much less severely, because prices have not been pushed so undulv high. and it's use is general and less of
 luxury. Another sign of business re- action which cannot he mistaken is the break in staple cotton goods in
 the Chicago market. All classes of. cotton goods have been selling at re- markedly high prices until finally the limit had been reached. and ronsumn- lion was being checked. For some time past the shrewdest manufactur- CTS and distributors of cotton cooi- have been anticipating turn in the market. and now that it ha- zta.Ir..

NAVAL HERO IS APPLAUDED.
Officers Feicitate the Lieutenant Who
 Gave Finuer to Save Warship,


 Gave Finger to Save Warship. | New York, Oct. 21.-LieutenRnt Will liam PigOtt Cronan of the battleship 1 Connecticut was the recipient of con- gratulatiOns from friends and officers who visited the big battleship at the Brooklyn navy yard. Lieutenant Gro nan is man who, by sacrificing the index finger of his ri;' hand. saved the ship recently when she was at target practice.
 MT Cronin was in charge of an right inch gun ill the starboard after turret Target practice had been go- ing on for an hour and the gun was very hot. The gun crew was just about to insert into the breech a pow der bag containing Il charge for an other shot when Lieutenant Cronin ob- served that some loose powder had fallen on the thread of the screw by which the breech of the big gun is locked
 He shouted to his crew not to load the gun, but in the roar from other guns they did not hear him and placed the powder bag in the breech. At the same instant the breech block man started to turn the heavy screw that locks the gun. Lieutenant Cronan re- alized that If the block ground the loose powder on the thread of it's screw there would be an explosion that would probably communicate with the main magazine and blow up the ship. Without hesitation he plunged his right hand in ahead of the closing block. He lost finger, but the scv- cred finger end, by clogging the breech block on it's screw, averted the threat ened explosion.
