Bradstreet's Report.

New York, Oct. 4.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Trade reports are irregular, some lines noting a relatively larger vol ume of business than last year, while others indicate an opposite tendency. Business is of a filling-in- character, although some sections report an en- laged house trade. owing to fall car- nivals. Retail trade on the1 whole has been hampered by unreasonable wealth CT, temperatures being too high. Col lections, while still dragging. in con- sonance with the tightness in money, appear to have improved at a number of centers. Some orders for early spring are being placed but the vol ume of business is rather light Many industrial lines are less active on new business, and working forces in iron, steel, car manufacturing, electrical goods, shoes and copper mining are being reduced. Lumber Is less active and new building is lighter, due in part to the approach of the closed sea- son. but more particularly to the stringency in money. The edge is off the demand for some lines of cotton goods and concessions can be obtained, but printed and woven dress goods are very strong. Wool is active and coal is in demand. Business failures in the United States for the week end- ing October number TIT against 166 last week and 136 in the like week of 1s06s

THE STOCK MARKET

There was slow absorption at only on price recessions that 1t was manifest. The preliminary estimates of the weeks currency movement of- of activity the enormous drain that is making on New York banks cash resources.

 The stock market does not call for extended comment. The Southern Rail- way stocks were conspicuously weak Continued poor earnings reports were held in part to account for the move ment but rumors were circulated that some plan of financial readjustment of the propery was pending. Other stocks in the Southern railroad group were af- fected in sympathy. There was sharp rebound in the London price of copper and some benefit accrued to copper securities. More than one-third of the days scanty total of stock sales was completed in the first hour and stag nation overcame the later market com pletely.

TariR Oppression.

Selma Journal.
 MT. Iialdane, the British War Sec. retary has just placed an order fop 100000 horseshoes in this country. Horseshoes are protected by a tarif of cent pound. Under that duty the American buyer of horseshoes paya a considerably higher price for them than the British army. This Is only one recent example of the familiar faoa off high prices for home consumptiofa, low prices for the foreign buyer.-Ne@ York World.
 Why should the Democrats hunt foa an issue when such things as this go on under the rule of the Republican party7 Every farmer who buys a set of horse shoes should remember when he does so that the British army can buy them and ship them to England for use and then get them cheaper than he Is getting them. If such examples could just be brought home to the people the mother of all the evils ex- isting in our government" would Dc given but short shrift.
