FALL RETAIL TRADE Is GOOD
Dun & Co. Reports 1t All That Could
Be Desired in All Sections of
the Land.

New York, Oct 5.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Interest centers in fall retail trade, and
results are all that could be desired.
There is no sectional difference OH this
point, all leading cities reporting Il lib
eral distribution of seasonable wearing
apparel. Supplementary orders are
coming to wholesale and jobbing
houses. and satisfactory results with
autumn goods encourage manufacture
.ers to extend preparations for the next
season. Mercantile collections have
also improved, October payments be-
ing fairly well met thus far, although
the rates for commercial paper ara
abnormally high.
Among the manufacturers the most
notable increase in orders is reported
by New England shoe shops, while
there is no idleness at cotton mills, and
the reduction of steel output is not sig
nificant. In some lines there is a sen
timent of conservatism that eliminates
much of the customary speculative
business, and is regarded with salts
faction by those who appreciate the
Importance of moderation until finan-
cial pressure is reduced. No change
has occurred in the condition of the
iron and steel industry.

Corn, Royal Corn.

Corn was crowned king of IA
states at the Coliseum in Chicago
last Saturday evening. The occa-
sion was the formal opening Of the
National Corn Exhibition, which
will last two weeks. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that this is rather a
poor corn year, the display at the
Exposition is large, and the quality
all that king corn could desire.
In his opening address Chairman
Higinbotham said number of good
things, and here are a few of them.
sour corn crop is worth, roughly,
one billion Of dollars each year It
is equal in value to two-thirds of all
our exports. Its value is twice that
of the worlds yearly output of gold
and silver. The corn cop for ten
years would nearly buy the worlds
production Of gold for the last 400
years, and 80 per cent Of the worlds
corn crop is produced within an area
of about one days ride from this

DON'T AGREE on THE FACTS
Witnesses of the Alleged Near Collision
in the Presidents Flotilla.


Memphis, Tenn, Oct. River men
are greatly agitated over the formal
order of President Roosevelt, Instruct
ing that the license of the pilot of the
steamship Fred Hartweg be suspend
ed Tor "jockeying' on the trip down
the river from Cairo, Ill. The cap
tain of the Hartweg has been suspend
ed for six months, which Is worse than
demanded by the president, and there
is Il good dcalof feeling expressed. The
evidence was taken by Captain H. G.
Walz, of this city, inspector of bulls,
behind closed doors, which also is not
liked. The defendant in the case was
Clarence Nichols, the pilot of the Hart
veg.
Some Of the evidence has leaked
out. Witnesses who We're on the
presidents boat, it is said, testified
that during some "jockeying'' to get
next to the presidents boat, the Hart
veg bumped the Mississippi. This tes-
tmony was fatty contradicted by wit
nesses who We're on the Hartweg, who
declared that no collision occurred, and
at no time was there any danger of n
collision.
George w. Tice. vice president of
the AIonongahela Consolidated Coal and
Coke company. which owns the steam
er Fred Hartweg. has made a state-
mcnt regarding the reported collision,
in which he says: 81. myself, was n
passenger on the Hartweg and Mt no
time during my observation did the
IIartweg approach the presidents boat
so close as to make an accident or col
lision even probable"

PRIMARY LAW KNOCKED OUT
Scheme Adopted by the Illinois Leg
islature Declared Invalid by the
Sunreme Court

.islature Declared Invalid by the
Supreme Court.
Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 3.-The primary
election law has been declared uncon-
stitutional in an opinion handed down
by the supreme court. Justice Hand
wrote the opinion in which the court
holds that the law violates the con-
stitutfon because it provides for more
than the title specifies. The points on
which most fault is found are: 1t pro-
vides for two elections one by an "of-
fetal primary ballot and one by n
delegate ballot" 1t provides for "pri-
mary elections to select delegates to
nominating conventions and wholly
fails to provide for primary election
to select candidates for Office"
The lodging of legislative power
with county central committees is de-
clared to be unconstitutional. and iii
direct conflict with the bill OF rights.
The law makes no proper provision
for the registration of voters, accord
ing to the decision. Another objection
according to the decision, is that the
law denies the voter the right to vote
for three candidates for. the general
assembly. If new law is to be passed
1t will have to be an entirely new one

sirable Citizen" -.
President Roosevelt departed from
his printed speech in several instances.
Speaking of the Confederate guard of.
honor, he said it was touching sight
to see these old Confederate. soldiers
carrying the flag of this great Union.
II any one wanted to know how they
would fight for that flag let him ask
the boys in blue how they fought
against 1t. He said, with emphasis,
that he was as much the president of
the south as of the north, and was de-
voted to the interests of both. He said
he was half a southerner and when
he told of two or three Of his unclcs
having worn the gray he was tremen-
donsly applauded.

dent said he favored rapid improve
ment of the Mississippi river. "Like
