WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, October 2.-Cotton spinners and cotton goods merchants are patiently awaiting the maturity of the cotton crop in the hope that something will occur by which a readjustment of cloth and cot ton selling prices will come about and enhance the profitable movement of mer- chandise for the long future. Values to- day are being held steady in the cloth and yarn markets, yet they are below the cost of replacement on many staples and mills continue to curtail their oper- ations
 Trading is still of a hand-to-mouth character on staples, while on goods to be made orders have been placed irreg- ularly Dress ginghams have sold very we'll for spring and the mills will be busy during the winter.
 The demand for Canton flannes, blan- kets and mapped cottons generally con tinues fairly steady. Print cloth yarn goods are selling steadily, Fall River sales during the week totalling 40G00 pieces of which 60,000 were for spot shipment, the rest being future contracts.
 The date to which bleached goods and staple gingham prices were begged hav- ing expired yesterday. the current prices of S% cents on fruits and cents on Amoskeags will be continued for the present. Jobbers are steadily reducing their stocks and current reports reaching here from the agricultural sections speak of a fair business in retail centers But there is little desire to anticipate de- liveries, filling in orders coming along in small lots Curtailment in cloth and yarn mills has been arranged for to continue during October.

NEW YORK STEEL
 AND IRON MARKET

New York, October Approximations on contracts for finished steel products in September were slightly less than in Au- gust. New business, too, failed to keep the August pace. AS a result the &C., tivities of the finishing mills were re- duced about per cent, indicating de- crease of approximately 100000 tons in un- filled orders on the books of the sub- sidiary companies of the Steel corpora ton.
 As in August, the greatest activity was in wire products, while the greatest fall ing off in tonnage was in structural and fabricated steel. Because of the increase in export tonnage rail orders were larg- CT than in August, the September ousl- ness aggregating so.OO0 tons. Last week there was little more activity in build Ing and bridge contracts, but the total of fabricated structural orders in Sep tember was only 62,0O0 tons or de- crease of about one-third, compared with fne previous month. Interest is now cen tered in the Quebec bridge prospective order. bids on which went in on Sat urday; about SS,O00 tons of steel are required
 Bids on subway work in New York calling for 100000 to 10000 tons of steel going in the latter part of this month.
 Contracts for pig iron placed in all dis trcts in September aggregated So0OO tons or one-third more than in August. Last weeks orders aggregated about 50,0Vo . tons. The greater activity was at the expense of prices. It is significant that all the important contracts placed TOT de- livery in the first quarter and first half of next year have been at slight, or no premiums, over the price prevailing for the last quarter of 191o Inquiries now call for 10000 tons, but business Is de- yeloping slowly

GEORGIA EXPECTS
 QUIET ELECTION
Atlanta Is Involved in High
 Priced Milk War
MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN
Plans Are Completed for Conservation Congress Which Is to Convene Next Frlday-Pinchot and
 Roosevelt Coming

Atlanta, October 2.-The indications a4e | that the state election on October s win be a quiet and insignificant affair.
 All the efforts to get out independent and opposition candidates have proven fiat failures; there is to be nothing what ever doing in the way of a fight.
 The primary nominees for statehouse offices will all go through with a rush, and in but few counties in the state will there be any scrapping.
 There are several counties in north Georgia-counties with heavy republican vote-in which no nominations have yet been made for the legislature; or, at least in which the nominee Is not at all cer- tain of success in the election, and in those counties there will be some fighting both over the legislative places and some of the county offices.
 Elsewhere in the state, however, and for the state offices there will be no contests consequently there will be light vote polled.
 Nobody takes any stock in the sugges- tion of Thomas E. Watson that the voters of Georgia will cast their votes for Governor Brown and against the party nominee, former Gov. Hoke Smith, least of all Governor Brown himself. As the result of Watson's harangues there may
  but the number will not be sufficient to count.
 The congressional elections do not come until a month later, and in several of these there will be opposition. There are republican candidates opposed to the democratic nominees in the Seventh and Ninth districts, the districts in which there are the largest number of republi can votes. But the fight in which the most interest will be manifested is that in the Eighth, in which each of the can didates in the primary, Congressman W. M. Howard and s. J. Tribble of Athens, claims to be the regular nominee. The same fight they went through with in the primary will be fought out between them again in the regular November election.
 In this contest in the Eighth, Ebert county, which went to Howard by nine votes after a contest over the result on the face of the returns, will probably be the chief battle-ground. It will no doubt be in the regular election as 1t was in the primary: AS goes Ebert, so goes the district.

Perhaps one of the queerest worms ever seen is on exhibition in the of- fees of Electro Radio experts in the Farley building. It has two heads and occupies the Kidneys. MT. W. M. Sloan of Hibbing. is lucky man. Hear
 ing of the wonderful cures performed every day by Electro Radio, he de- termined to give 1t trial. and called upon the doctors for a free exami-
 nation. For years that gentleman had suffered from pain in the back, swell : ing and bloating in the hands and feet, swelling under the eyes. His hair was falling out and his family physician had pronounced 1t a case of Brights s disease. He was treated by Electro Radio and after a five minutes ex- ,osure he felt 1t break loose and was voided from his system. This cure is
 recognized as boon to humanity. a

Conservation Congress

The programme for the coming conser- vation congress to be held in Atlanta next Friday and Saturday. October and s, has been practically completed and everything is ready for the entertainment of visitors and the important discussions which will take place.
 While Clifford Pinchot and other inn portant conservation leaders will be here, the visit of ex-President Roosevelt is ex- pected to eclipse everything else.
 MT. Roosevelt's coming Is not in pur- suance simply of desire to attend the conservation meeting, but in response to an invitation sent him while he was in
 Paris, to come to Atlanta and deliver a lecture for the benefit of the Uncle Remus Memorial association. So fond was Mr. Roosevelt of the late Joel Chand- | Ter Harris that he consented to come for this purpose and to deliever lecture in the atidtorium-armory, which has a ca pacity of more than 1000 persons. and il
 looks now as if every seat in it will be | filled.
 The association is confidently counting | on clearing about $5000 from Colone | Roosevelts lecture to be devoted to its purpose of purchasing MT. Harris late
 home and converting it into a memorial park About $3000O wifi be required for this purpose, and the association now has only about 5000 or s600O in hand.

many go through life suffering from what they suppose to be Brights dis ease or diabetes. when in truth 1t Is a different trouble altogether. A proper diagnosis is half cure. That Is why Radio experts are a success. They find out your trouble before they undertake to treat, and then they only treat where they are sure of a cure.

 The earlier best mark of S4O9 feet was made by the late George Chavez.
 Wynmalen rose until his motor failed him and then made a perilous descent. He suffered intensely and his exciting experience was similar to that of Leon Morane, who on September 3 ascended S21 feet, establishing a record that stood until eclipsed by Chavez.

Size Up Treasury

State officials have been doing little quiet figuring on the condition of the states finances with view, perhaps, to ascertaining for certain whether or not there is a promise of sufficient money in sight to pay salaries and the expense of operating the government, and to say the least they do not find very much encouragement. In the event the govcr- nor does not succeed in working off a good big bunch of the bonds recently re- ceived from the engravers the state will have to go to the poorhouse before spring.
 Practically. there is nothing in the treasury now-not near enough to pay the s4O0, GOO that will be due the Confed- crate pensioners on November 1, nothing coming in the way of taxes at this time of the year. and the prospect is that the old soldiers will have to discount their warrants to get their lttle stipends. On January the state will be called on to pay about S1, 100000 on account of the public school fund, and that will call for all that will have been received up to that time In the way of taxes, so that nothing will be left to pay the other bills that are accumulated by that time. Even these school bills will not be paid when due, as little cash comes in before 1 February 1, and the teachers will just II
 | have to wait.
 | The total appropriations made by the late legislature was s7721. 437.3O. million more than ever before. and counting the poll taxes in each county, the schools
 and colleges get A,5es, LOT of that, leav- ing $3152.737.23 to pay all other expenses
 for the two-year period.
 There does not seem to be any immedi-
 ate prospect of disposing of the entire hcr tofa
 banks and private individuals have taken
 over about $125.0O0. or have notified the | treasurer they would do so, and It Is ex- pected that in all local capitalists will take care of about s2O0.0O0. leaving $400. .O0t to be sold, and without which there does | not seem to be any way to pay bills as they accumulate, even though the peni- tentiary farms turn in goodly sums as usual.
