Dun's Weekly Report

NEW YORK. Sept. 17.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Most noteworthy is the continuing expansion
in iron and steel in which the position of pro-
duoer and consumer has changed, the latter
now displaying most of the eagerness to close
contracts at prevailing rates.
Copper makes a less favorable showing than
some weeks ago, and during August production
exceeded the demand, with resulting increase
from the surplus stocks. Domestic exports Of
cotton from New York this year to date amount
to 2S3 S94 bales; same time last year, 12s, 1885,
The domestic hide market is firmly held, but
scme foreign hides are lower, though in part
this is due to a bad condition OF many OF the
lots offered. The leather market shows i'm
proved demand. Sole is firmly maintained

The spelling of the two words
Usawatomie and Pottawatomie causes
considerable confusion to this day;
but that Is the way maps have them
now. and that of course makes them
"omcial."
Osawatomie, famed in Kansas his
tory, is located between the Usage
River and the Pottawatomie. 1t is
named. from these streams. In the
early days two SIS" were frequently
used in its spelling, but the improprie-
ty Of their use was shown and pointed
out by the school teachers by simply
explaining the words derivation.
The name of PottawatOmie, though,
had about ten different spellings, ac-
cording TO an old settler of that COM
niunity. "The tribe of Indians" he
said, left the State and did not leave
US the correct spelling Of the word. So
we people along the creek finally got
together and decided to spell the word
the shortest way possible-Po Pot-a-wat.

the maps, and guess that is the way
to spell it-now. We spelled It the
shortest way, and have often thought
that we were the original simpliiied

seARolrY oE LeATHER.

\ Condition for Which the Automo-
bile industry is Largely Responsible.
When the scarcity Of hides and
skins is referred to it Is hardly under
stood by the layman who perhaps
does not know that the world is being
secured In all corners for all avail
able skins and hides. More races are
constantly becoming civilized and the
increase Of our hide and skin supply
is not in proportion to that Of the
human race.
The amount OF leather used in the
marutacture of novelties of all kinds
has increased to great extent with
in lew years, says the Shoe Retailer,
but in no line has the use of leather
broadened so extensively as in auto
mobile manufacture
ANY one who is at all familiar with
an automobile knows that there is a
considerable amount of leather used
in its construction, in upholstery and
Otherwise. This means a large
drs ght on the leather market, which
is perhaps more noticeable in the high
price OF spready steers, the hides Of
which are extensively used for that
purpose.

hon OF New Orleans. The doctor,
after stating that the tongue. the nose
and the skin are the only organs OF
special sense which perform other
functions, remarks that the tongue Is
the only organ except the heart which
presents a base, a body and an apex
aud that no other organ ran assume
such a variety Of shapes Or is nova,
BILE says Leslie's Weekly. Its papil-
lac, though similar 70 those Of other

more specially developed. The tongue
presents a dual structure in accord
ance with It's dual functions motor
and sensory, varies IN color more than
any other organ, and 10 more solid
than any other viscus. II Is the only
