Epsley, November 1--(Special)-A mass meeting of the citizens of Ensley was held last night in the Presbyterian hall on Nineteenth street for the purpose of or ganizing a law and order league, hav- ing for its purpose the enforcement or the prohibition laws. The meeting was well attended. considering the indictment weather. Much interest and enthusiasm was displayed and from the general tone of the discussion it was evident the citizens of Ensley are determined to see the laws regarding the sale of liquor enforced There were number of anti prohibitonists present who expressed themselves as ready to assist in the movement and who enrolled themselves as members of the league.
 W. R. Stewart, who led the prohibition fight in Ensley, was made temporary chairman, and H. E. Russell temporary secretary. Dr. T. II. Johnson, w. H.. Davis, D. J. Hummer, Joe c. Lamont and others addressed the meeting, and after lengthy discussion in regard to the mode of permanent organization in which many motions and suggestions were offered, motion prevailed to ap- point several committees, among which were committees on membership. bylaws, and nomination of officers which are to report at the next meeting.
 1t was decided to meet regularly in the Presbyterian hall. The next meeting will be announced later. It was decided to make the precinct the unit as a part of the county organization and a commit tee will meet with the citizens of Wy lam to urge their cooperation. The citizens of Wylam have already taken measures to organize.

HAD LAUDANUM TO
 COMMIT SUICIDE
Officer Arrives Just as the Man Was Writing His Hast Will and
 Testament"

officer Smith just prevented H. c. Reed from committing suicide last night The fellow was sitting at a table with bottle of laudanum in one hand and writing his Hast will and testament" with the other when in- terrupted.
 Reed was under the influence of alcohol at the time. It seems that his wife had left him while he was living at Woodward and that he came in to a room at the Cox building yester- day.
 His meanings disturbed the other oc- ct,pants, and they called for police man. When the officer entered he found the laudanum open, and Reed nearly ready to take it. He was too drunk to write legibly, and all that can be made out of his Last will and tes- lament" was that he was bequeathing all his property to three persons, and he wanted decent burial However, he was taken to the city jail, and may feel better when morning arrives.

TRADE IS QU|ETER IN EVERY SECTION Business Waits For Finances to
 Clear Up COTTON GOODS MAY FALL Iron and Steel Industry Has Good De- mand, With Tendency To Lower Prices-outIook for Trade
 Is Good.
COTTON GOODS MAY FALL

New York. November 1.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 The country at large has this week felt the after-effeots of last weeks finan- cial disturbances at New York and other eastern cities. Prompt imitation of New yorks action upon the source of the disturbances has, however allowed read- justments to meet changed conditions with a probable minimum of immediate friction and without the sacrifices found necessary at the metropolis. The entire country in fact may be said to have gone upon d check or credit basis, pending the passing of the uneasiifess which seems almost entirely to have calmed down.
 Naturally there has been some distrac- ton of business, notably in domestic ex- changes, which have reacted on the col lecting and forwarding forces, for a time stopping the buying of wheat in the northwest and of cotton at the south There has also been d sensible quieting down of jobbng, some reductions or forces in railroad improvement work, and in other industries and some effect also upon retail trade. which, however, aided by fine fall weather. has given good account of itself
 Naturally, also, collections have shown some effect of the disturbance.
 In the dry goods trade there is greater disposition to concede that a lower level of values for several lines of cotton goods is likely following recent cuts by job bers This, however, refers more largely to distant deliveries than to immediate business. and the same is predicted of some lines of woolen goods for next fall
 The iron and steel industry reports new demand quiet. with a tendency to ease in prices. The leading interest notes a moderate reduction in thrilled orders That there is a large business doing in many lines the country over is, however evidenced by the widespread reports of car shortage, affecting the movement Of grain at Buffalo, of coal at all leading points east and west, and of lumber In the Pacific northwest.
 Business failures for the week. includ- ing October 31, number 223, against 220 last week. and 163 in the like week of 1906 Canadian failures for the week num- ber 25 as against 39 last week and 2l In this week a year ago.
 Wheat including flour, exports rom the United States and Canada Tor the week ending October 31 aggregate 4,fsS,- 34o bushels against 4,765,579 last week ana 1. .4s0975 this week last year.
 For the first IS weeks Of the nscai year the exports are bS,2ohelo pisheis' against .62 666 561 in 1906-O7.
 Corn exports for the week are ooo,34o bushels, against 122 last week, ana .40O.211 in 1906. For the fiscal year to date the exports are l56o'z'5 pusheis' against IA AT 169 in 1906-01.

Dunn & Co.'S Report.

New York November 1.-R. G. Dunn ~ Company's weekly review Of trade toihor- TOW will say
 Contraction has followed the financial crisis of last week, but only to the extent compelled by inability to raise money. There is no evidence that con fidence has been permanently impaired on the contrary, qualification is felt that the nation was so strongly fortlned that the severe strain made no deeper impression. Many contemplated deVel- opments have been postponed ana mer- chants find rates for commercial paper almost prohibitive. yet retail trade IS stimulated by more easonable tempera- ture and at interior cities collections improve with the movement of the crops
 Conditions in the iron and steel industry are innma terially altered except the new business is smaller. Mills continue well occupied on old contracts as rule and as there have been no cancellations 1t IS probable that no extensive reduction In activity will take place this year. A fair tonnage of rails is wanted for home roads and export and ship yards are using plates freely.
 Coke output is at a minimum and large contracts are reported for future delivery but the ovens will quickly re- spond to any curtailment of pig iron pro- duction.
 Textile manufacturing plants are not reducing activity although there is more caution regarding the future. In cer- tain lines some accumulation Of stocks is noted but these are in strong hands that are not likely to urge sales at the expense of values. Moreover, these are exceptional instances, most lines being sold unusually far ahead. Cheaper raw material and tight money indicate that some adjustment in prices may. be neces- sary and that it would establish the mar ket upon a healtier basis. but the pres ent time is not propitious. much satis- faction Is expressed in the dry goods trade over the manner in which the last weeks stress was sustained. Prices are still well above the views of experts.
