K 0 00 i 900 ES Bradstreet Reports a Continuance of the General Expansion of Prices, LARGEST AUGUST TRADE YET. avy Exports The Warm Weather 'ev.ias Assured the Corn Crop Num ber of Business Failures. Bradstreet's commercial review for the week ending Saturday, Sept. 4th, says : The previotts activity in all lines of trade i3 maintained. There is a bet ter tone to the demand from jobbers, and the volume of business in wool, leather, clothing, hats, groceries and light hardware has increased. There is a better request for woolen and ootton goods, jewelry and rubber goods, fabrics nud shoes. Some wholesale merchants at Western centres report the largest volume of August trade on record. There has been an increased consump tion of cotton by Southern mills. Western iron ana steel mills have or ders to keep them busy until January 1. In the Central-Western States the bituminous coal strike has had a fur ther depressing effect on the general industrial situation. At the Northwest some commercial houses have had to work overtime to meet the demand for goods, and the warm weather is re ported to have practically assured the ! ndian corn crop. On the Pacific coast wheat exports have been checked by inability to secure crews for vessels, Mercantile collections have improved in some sections. iast week, s general ana unprece dented expansion of prices for staples is continued, wool, cotton and woolen fabrics, hides, leather, white pine lum ber, sashes and oors, iron and steel bars, billets and rods, wire nails, barbed wire and Southern foundry iron,wheat, corn, lard and sugar having advancea, and higher prices being expected ' for boots and shoes. Lower prices are re corded for cotton, wheat flour and cof fee, while those for oats, pork, print cloths, petroleum and coal are un chauged. This week's export of wheat (flour in cluded as wheat) are the largest with two exceptions the second week of September and the fourth week in Au gusi, 1891. The total shipments amount to ,05S,247 bushels, against o. 14i, (o3 bushels last week; tf, 809,802 bushels last year; 2,200,2'il in 1897; 3,207,300 bushels in 1894,and 4,1)20,000 bushels in is.)::. The shipment of corn is also large, aggregating 3,185,0154 bushels this week, against 2,682,452 bushels last -week; 2,527,520 bushels last year; 1,40.:sT0 bushels in 1805; 127,000 bushels in 1804, and 072,875 bushels in 1803.

There are 30 business failures reported from the Canadian Dominion this week. Last week the total was 30, and a year ago it was 30. Dun & Co. 's report says that failures m August 1897, were not 17 per cent less in number than in August 1806, but in aniountof liabilities were 0percent less; July and August show lower average of liabilities per failure than for any quarter in the last twenty-three years; the improvement extends to nearly every important branch oi business. TRIALS OF GOLD SEEKERS. Two Thousand Blockaded By Impos sible Bags. A Seattle, Wash. , dispatch of the 4th says all efforts to break the blockade at Skaguay have failed utterly. Advices received by the steamer Rosalie, which left Skaguay Monday last arrived here today, state that when the trail was opened Monday morning 2, 000 men and horses were striving to get over. Soon the path was in as bad condition as it was before being re paired. When the road had been cordu royed over the miry places, the logs slipped out and the horses went floun dering in the mire, many of them never to emerge. Hundreds of those at Ska guay have given '.ip all hope of getting through this winter ana win stay mi February at the foot of the pass. Hun dreds are coming back from the trails, stopping at Skaguay or Juneau for the winter. A few more adventurers will trv to go over when the first freeze covers the bogs with ice. End of the Coal Strike. A Columbus, O. , dispatch says the end of the great miners' strike is in sight. The national exectutive board of the United Mine Workers have agreed to recommend to the miners a proposition to the Pittsburg Operators for a straight price of 65 cents a ton, to continue in force until the end of the vear. A Pittsburg dispatch also says the mine operator's committee have return ed from Columbus. Chairman Uhlen bnrg says that the conference between the miners and operators was a very amicable one. He said: "We feel very sanguine that an acceptance of our 05-cent offer will reach us from Mr. holan shortly, and are convinced that every mine in the district will make a start on Monday the 13th." Case Dismissed. The suit of the Edwards, of South Carolina against Trinity Church to re cover a large tract of land in New York city is dismissed by the court. A Wordy W arTnTlrglnia.

Accepts the Nomination. President Seth Low, of Columbia University, has accepted the nomination of tho citizens Union for mayor of GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT. Cotton Has Not Made Favorably ProgressLate Corn Improved. A brief synopsis of the Government irop report, issued for the week ending A.ug. 31st, says: In the lake region and New England, the week has been too Bool, and in the States of the central valleys too dry for the best results. In the middle and South Atlantic and Oulf States, and genera ly through the Rocky mountains and Pacific coast re gions, the week has been favorable. Lady corn is maturing rapidly in owa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota, but it has made slow progress in Illinois, Indiena, Michi gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, and the late crop generally needs warmth and moisture. In Ohio, early corn is maturing nicely, and will be ready to cut in about two weeks. Cutting is becoming general in Kansas. In Ken tucky, Tennessee and Arkansas the rop promises to be very short owing to the drought. As a result of generous rains of the previous week late corn in the Gull States has been generally im proved. While the general absence of rain in the Southern States has been very fa vorable for cotton picking, which is be- ;omiug general over the southern por tions of the cotton belt, the ciop has not made favorable progress, although Joing well in some sections. In Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia and portions of North Carolina, cotton is generallv do ing well, but in other portions of the sottou region complaint of rust, shed ling and insects continue, though somewhat less numerous than in the preceding week. In Texas, recent rains have improved late cotton and has started the top crop, but more rain is needed. In central and southern Texas the crop is well advanced, but over the nor hern part of the State it ii from two to three weeks late. Tobacco has not improved in Ken tucky, where the outlook is less en couraging than previously reported. Cutting continues in the principal to bacco States, and except in Tennessee, Kentucky aud New Lnglaud the late crop is generally good. NOTIFIED TO VACATE. Miners Who Will Not Work Must Leave the Company's Houses. A special from Knoxville, Tenu., says miners are working in tne jemc? eus tiict, notwithstanding the operators and the leaders of the miners have been unable to arrive at any agreement. Miners occupying company houses re fusing to work will receive notice to vacate immediately. This plan is more r" -1 i 1 v effective in Tennessee than on t 6 Ienlucky side, th lty days' notice bc....r lequired in Kentucky. Local operators are confident that la borers will be greatly surprised at the large number of union men who will be working in a few das. TO AID THE STRIKERS.

James P. T. Stranataan Who First Suggested the Idea. James S. T. Stranahan, Brooklyn's "grand old man," was probably the first man to suggest the necessity of the "Greater New York.' Mr. Strana han, now approaching his ninetieth birthday, has Jived In the Stranahan mansion built by him for half a cen tury, and the building is a notable ex- STB AX An AN. ampl of the arcliitecture of that day. The "grand old man" has been ill for a year or more, but he rejoices that he has lived long enough to see his pet idea realized. In 1SS3, at the annual banquet of the Chamber of Commerce of New York, Mr. Stranahan made a speech in favor of Greater New York, but he at that time only struck with a firmer hand the string he had been harping on for many years before. Mr. Stranahan came to Brooklyn from Newark In 1844 and became Interested in docks. To-day he owns a large share of the Atlantic Dock Company's stock. He pan for Mayor in 1851. In 1S34 he was elected to Congress. He was a delegate to the Republican na tional conventions of 1SG0 and In 1883 he was a Harrison elector. No citizen of Brooklyn has manifested a more public spirit than has he. He lias been part of the great growth of Brooklyn, and even of New York, and he has ever insisted that the time would come when it would be no longer possible to maintain two separate governments for one municipality.

THE DOCTORS IN OUR RACE. A Colored Woman Gets $3,15.27 Will Spend Their Last Dollar to Make a Show... The National Protective Association of Colored Men, which was put on foot by ex-Congressman George Washing ton Murray, of South Carolina, is hard at work. Every week in somo portion of this country meetings are held under its auspices and new converts added to its ranks. The organization proposes to speak in plain words to both tho colored and white people on tho subject of lynching. An address is in preparation which tells the race that the speediest way to prevent lynchings is to get rid of tho cause that makes such outrages possi- le. This side of the question will be brought directly to all classes of the colored people, and in all parts of the country, through tho medium of their churches, Sabbath schools and socie ties. In ad lition to this the State Leg islatures will be asked at every sessiqu to pass Jaws, not only to punish persons guilty of tne crime of lynching, but also to indemify the families of persons lynched. A great deal of favorable sen timent has been worked up in behalf of this movement, and a number of whito persons of prominence, particularly in the Southern Statcs? are giving their advice and quietly aiding the officers of the association in their undertaking.

The amount the drew was at the rate of $10 a month from tho death of her husband, and it all came at one 3. She also said that the papers were com pleted in 1809, and that she had waited all the intervening years, hoping to heai from the application, but as she had no one to push the case, it had gone the usual slow course, and had at last been reached by the officials.
