French Baric Europe Hakes & Good
Leader Xesaia'a Fast Ran
From. Valparaiso.
The French bark Europe, after an ab
sence of less than 11 months. Is back
In port again, for another cargo of
wheat. This big: fourmaster seems to
be a mascot for bringing in ships in a
bunch. She sailed into the Columbia
October 7, 1900, and "was followed in. the
game day by four other vessels, the
AltaSr, Nomla, County of Edinburgh and
Admiral Courbet. Yesterday she sailed
in-at 9:30 A. 2.. and -was followed a .few
hours later by the German ship Nesaia,
German bark G. H. "Wappaus, British
ship Crown, of India, and Norwegian
bark Albania. This is the largest num
ber of grain ships that nas entered the
river -in .any one day since the opening
of the season, and thejjjiave a combined
carrying capacity' of over 500,000
bushels of -wheat. The Nesaia carried off
the honors of the day for fast time, -with
a 44 days trip from "Valparaiso, -which
is not far from the record.
The Albania -was only 55 days from
Panama, a very good passage from a
port as hard to get a-way from as the
Isthmus metropolis. The Europe, which
led the fleet, -was 62 days from Hobart.
and the G. H. "Wappaus got in 5S days
in making the passage from Klao Chou,
a run usually covered in 35 days. When
the Europe sailed from Portland last
November she -went direct to Liverpool,
and after discharging her cargo of -wheat
at that port, she loaded general cargo
for Hobart, which is in Tasmania. She
came up from the Australian port in bal
last. All of the ships -will be brought to
Portland as fast as the towboats can
Tiandle them, and -will materially aid in
giving the November fleet a good start.
FAST STEAMERS WANTED.
New York Passengers for Brazil Go
liy Way of Europe.
NEW YORK, Oct. 18. E. P. Paz, ed
itor and part owner of La Prenza (the
Press), of Buenos Ayres, Argentina, one
of the most influential newspapers in
South America, -who is in this country
to bring about better communications
between the United States and South
America, makes the following observa
tions concerning the objects of his trip:
"I leave for home October 22, and to
save time I sail on the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Grosse to Cherbourg, and take a
steamer at the latter place for my home.
This occupies 21 days. Going direct from
New York requires 25 days, because or
the class of vessels engaged in the serv
ice. "It seems to me a stupid thing fo go to
South America by -way of Europe when
a line of first-class steamers could make
the direct trip, stopping at Rio Janeiro, in
from 12 to 18 days. Our people are be
coming greatly interested and, -while np
aid is expected from the Argentina Gov
ernment, there is a general belief that
such a line of vessels "will soon be put on
and prove a paying investment. I Intend
to advocate strongly better transporta
tion from the United States. The Hamburg-American
Company evidently sees
great possibilities and is running a line
of steamers from Europe to our country
and thence down the coast to Patagonia.
The Lambert & Holt Company, an Eng
lish corporation, owns a line Tunning
between New York and the Argentine
Republic, and has more business than it
can handle. Much of the business in the
Argentine Republic is controlled by Ger
mans, Englishmen and Italians, but I
am satisfied North American capitalists
could go to many South American repub
lics, especially ours, and profitably take
over many remunerative concerns now
controlled by other countries."
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
North Head Station to Be Equipped
IC Appropriation Is Increased.
ASTORIA, Or., Oct. 18. Weather
Observer B. Johnson, of this
city, has received the plans and
specifications .from Major Langfitt,
United States Engineers, in charge of
this lighthouse district, for the wireless
telegraph station to be erected at
North Head, for reporting to the local
-weather bureau the arrival and departure
of vessels at the mouth of the Columbia.
The original plans for this station are
made on estimates based on " conditions
which existed a couple of years ago, but
it was found that the plant could not be
constructed and placed in condition for
use within the amount of the appropri
ation made "by Congress for the purpose
on account of the advance in the price of
materials to be used. Since then the
plans have been modified considerably in
the hope that the work could be done for
the original price fixed. It is difficult for
the Government architects at Washing
ton to acurately figure on the . cost of
construction under the conditions that
exist here, but if the present plans' prove
to be too expensive the difficulty may be
remedied by a further appropriation at
the next session of Congress.
FAST WORK ON THE FRONT.
Hlckmer Riclcmers Loads Wheat as
Soon as She Reaches Port.
The' German ship Plckmer RIckmers,
Which arrived up Thursday afternoon,
commenced loading wheat yesterday, and
-will be given the usual quick dispatch.
The Rickmers carries water ballast, and
when she arrived at Astoria an enter
prising ship-liner from thlf city went
down to meet her. The owners of the
RIckmers had made a contract with an
other liner for the ship, but had. failed
to advise the master, who proceeded to
' do business with the man who first ex
tended the glad hand.
The newcomer in the ship-lining' busi
ness, secure in the belief that a contracted
ship could not get away from him,
failed to keep track of the vessel's move
ments, and when he went over yesterday
morning to take measurements prepara
tory to ordering the lumber for lining,
be found his rival just finishing the job
of lining, and wheat going Into the lower
bold as fast as a big gang of men could
send it. Competition Is rather fierce on
the Portland water front just at present,
and the man who falls to set his alarm
clock for an early hour in the morning
is 3iot liable to be busy through the
day.
EIGHTY-FIVE DOLLARS PER MAN.
Ships Are Cinched by the Pnset
Sound Boarding-House Men.
PORT TOWNSEND, Oct. 18. The
German ship Pera, which, since
her arrival on Puget Sound, bas had so
much trouble with sailors, and three of
whom were arrested and held in jail
here without warrants, and who were
released upon habeas corpus proceedings
in the United States Court, has lost five
more sailors, and is now here trying to
secure a crew. The boarding-house mas
ters are demanding $85 for each man,
' and refuse to put a man aboard for less.
The ship is loaded and as the boarding
house masters all over the Sound have,
formed a trust, it is probable the Pera
-will have to submit to their demands.
QUARANTINE IS LIFTED.
Alaska Vessels "Will No Longer Be
Forced to Undergo Inspection.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Oct. 18.
Quarantine regulations, which have been
in force against Alaska since the 10th of
last May, will be raised tomorrow, and
after that date no vessels will have to
undergo Inspection at this point upon ar
rival from Alaska unless sickness exists
on board then they must call for inspec
tion. Dr. M. H. Foster, in command of
Puget Sound station, today sent official
notices to masters of vessels and all
steamship companies operating Alaska
vessels, of raising quarantine. Dr. Fos
ter states that smallpox has disappeared
at all points along the Alaska coast, and
according to reports there are -but a few
if any cases among the Indians of Alaska,
and further, that there is little danger of
the disease again becoming epidemic
among the Alaska Indians, as most of
the Indians have had the disease during
the past two years, and those who have
1 not had it have been vaccinated, hence
there is little material for the disease to
work on.
MANCHESTER LINER ASHORE.
Pilot Would Not Heed the Captain's
Warning.
HALIFAX, N. S., Oct. 18. On Pletres
Ledges, a mile and a half from Low
Point, on the shores of the east coast of
Cape Breton, lies the big steamer Man
chester Shipper, of the Manchester line.
She is fast aground and it will be diffi
cult to float her. Two tugs were unable
to budge her. Her ballast will be re
moved and another attempt made at once
to get her off. The Manchester Shipper
left Havre, France, October 5, for Mon
treal, with 213 steerage and nine saloon
passengers. She ran short of coal and
Captain Goldsworthy decided to put Into
Sydney for bunker. Low Point was sight
ed at 10 o'clock last night and a few
minutes later Pilot Ratchford boarded
her and took her in charge. The night
was dark and clear, though raining, ana
the different lights could easily he dis
tinguished. The pilot was only -on board
10 minutes when a colloquy is said to have
occurred. Captain Goldsworthy said:
"I am afraid that you are getting too
near the shore."
"I know what I am doing," was the
plolt's response.
The captain again remonstrated with
the pilot a few moments later, and thl3
time the pilot was about to heed the cap
tain's warning, but before he could do so
the big ship was hard and fast aground.
Her crew pt 43 men and all the passen
gers, with one exception, are still on
board.
Rnsslan Battle-Ship a Flyer.
BOSTON, Oct. IS. The new Russian
battle-ship Retvizan, built by the Cramps,
of Philadelphia, arrived here today from
New York, after an all-night run, In the
course of which, for 12 consecutive hours,
she was driven at top speed, and in spite
of storm and darkness, she attained an
average speed of 18.8 knots, breaking
all records for that number of hours and
showing herself to be the fastest battle
ship In the world. On Monday a trial
will be held over the United States Gov
ernment course, and It Is predicted that
the vessel will maintain an average of at
least 19 knots.
Although the speed of the Retvizan was
taken officially for only 12 hours of the
trip, it actually averaged 18 knots during
17 hours of the run.
Baric Criffel in Trouble.
The British bark Criffel, one of the old
timers of the Portland grain fleet, was
scuttled in New York barbor a few days
ago to save her from destruction by fire.
The Criffel was one of last season's grain
fleet from Portland, and crossed the At
lantic to load for Dunedln and Lyttleton.
She had the most of her cargo aboard
when the fire was discovered near the
main hatch. She was immediately flooded
to the hatch combings and sank to the
bottom of the river. The bark is believed
to be uninjured, but the cargo of ammu
nition and coal oil Is nearly a total loss.
At last reports, divers were at work on
the vessel and It is expected to raise her
with but little difficulty as soon as the
carge Is removed.
The Ka Ting: Afloat.
VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct. 18. The Ca
nadian Pacific steamer Ha Ting, which was
wrecked off Texada Island last Saturday,
arrived In port this evening under her
own steam. She towed Into port the
steamer Trader, which had been sent
north to assit her. The Ha Ting will go
into dock at once either here or at Vic
toria. The vessel is being kept clear of
water by one pump, which handles about
70 gallons of water per minute.
British- Are Apprehensive.
NEW YORK, Oct. IS. According to the
Tribune's London representative denials
by the officials of the White Star line of
J. P. Morgan's negotiations for the pur
chase of the fleet fail to satisfy the pro
vincial press, which expresses apprehen
sion lest another blow to British ship
ping may be Impending. The officials
here and in London are emphatic in con
tradicting all reports of a transfer of
the line.

SOLD TO A MINEOWNER
NORTHWEST RAILWAY GOES UN
DER, HAMMER FOR ?35,0u0.
Work on It Cost $150,000 Now in
Hands of Man Who Owns Mine
v to Be Served by It.
BAKER CITY, Oct 18 The Northwest
Railroad was sold in this city this af
ternoon by Wallace McCamant, master-in-cha.ncery
and special master commis
sioner of the United States Circuit Court
for the district of Oregon, upon an or
der of the court directing that the prop
erty and franchises be sold to satisfy the
claims and judgments against the com
pany. There was only one bid, that of
Louis Rosenzwelg, of Erie, Pa., for $35,
000. Mr. Rosenzwelg acted for Charles M.
Reed, who is a large creditor of the
Northwest Railroad Company. A repre
sentative of the Harrlman roads, includ
ing the Oregon Short Line and the O. R.
& N. Co., was present but there was no
attempt made at competition?
The Northwest Railroad is a road which
was projected some years ago. It starts
from Huntington, where it connects
with the Oregon Short Line and follows
along the Snake River on the Oregon
side to the Seven Devils country, and
from there it has been surveyed through
to Lewiston, Idaho. About 12 miles of the
grade has been finished and two or three
tunnels completed' and several more be
gun. Two or three engines and several
cars were purchased and two ranches of
considerable value belong to the road.
The property and franchises, which In
clude the right, of way, are considered
very valuable. About $150,000 has been
expended on the road so far. The orig
inal owners of the road also owned the
Iron Dyke copper mine, which Is one of
the most valuable copper propert!es,ln the
West, but It Is practically worthless with.,
out the (Completion of this railroad, by
means of which the ore can be trans
ported to market.
By order of 'the United States Court the
mine was sold some time ago, and Is now
owned by Charles M. Reed, of Erie, Pa:
The terms and conditions of today's sale,
as fixed by the court, required all pros
pective bidders to deposit $5000 with the
master-In-chancery, and no bid for less
than $35,000 would be considered.
Mr. Rosenzwelg declined to make mis
statement in regard to the purchase of
the road, further than to say he had
bought It for Mr. Reed, whom he repre
sented in the capacity of attorney. He
said Mr. Reed was the one to say what
disposition would be made of the prop
erty in the future. It is understood that
Mr. Reed Is working In harmony with the
Oregon Short Line and O. R. & N. and
that Whatever he may do In railroad
building will not be antagonized by these
roads.
Some three weeks ago Lieutenant E. S.
Farrow, a railroad and mining engineer,
was here as the representative of the
New York Trust Company, and he looked
over the mine and railroad In the Interest
of his company. He was frequently In
consultation with the superintendent of
the Iron Dyke and Receiver Price. Mr.
Farrow made a proposal to build a rail
road from here, saying that -the terminus
of the Northwestern road would, be re
moved from Huntington to Baker City.
This proposition Is still before the Cham
ber of Commerce.
UNIFYING NORTHERN LINES.
Three Difficulties to Be Reckoned
With in New Solvent.
A Wall-street correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press discusses the pro
posed unification of the Hill-Morgan rail
ways as follows:
"Three contingencies are to be met and
accommodated before It will be possible
even for Mr. Morgan and Mr. Hill to or
ganize and perfect the proprietary com
pany that is. If organized, to be the boss,
the supreme authority over the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and the Bur
lington Railroad corporation. In the finan
cial center rumors of varlousk lnds, some
of them so detailed as to give to them
the semblance of verity, have been in cir
culation for a week or more, agreeing
only upon one point, that being the pur
pose of Mr. Morgan, Mr. Harrlman and
Mr. Hill to turn over to a new all-embracing
company the securities of the
Northern Pacific and the Burlington and
the Great Northern which these men
hold.
"The first of the contingencies to be
met is the 'certainty that each one of
these men will have a plan of his own
and therefore there will follow tho neces
sity either of yielding on the part of two
of the three to the other one or else
some compromise or acceptance of some
of the Ideas which each of these men
has In mind, so that thereby a compact
and satisfactory organization can be per
fected. The understanding here is that
Mr. Hill is satisfied that he has worked
out a plan that will be acceptable, but
that It Is a very different plan from the
one Mr. Morgan has In mind. It Is also
the understanding that Mr. Harrlman
has no special plan In view, although he
is persuaded that a proprietary company
is essential.
"If a plan Is worked out that will be
acceptable to all the Interests, the next
contingency to be met Is associated with
the ability to organize and direct an un
derwriting syndicate to finance the prop
osition. It Is evident that a syndicate
of that character would be almost ,of the
magnitude of the one that underwrote
the United States Steel Corporation.
"The third contingency has reference to
the willingness of the public to absorb
the securities Issued by the proprietary
company, and that Is one that can never
be determined until actual test Is made.
"On the whole It Is regarded as a
rather difficult proposition, In many re
spects far more difficult than the organ
ization of the corporation designed to
"take over the various constituent com-
Kpanles which when combined represent
the possessions and resources' of the
United States Steel Corporation."
HARRIMAN COMING WEST.
Will Inspect Pacific Const System
Few Jobs Lost.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18. The gen
eral officers of the Southern Pacific Com
pany have received word from E. H. Har
rlman, the new president of the railroad,
that he intends coming to San Fran
cisco. While on the Coast It is expected that
he will make a tour of Inspection of the
entire Pacific system. He will also run
over the Oregon Short Line and the O.
R. & N.
J. C. Stubbs, traffic director of the
Harrlman roads, who is here to attend
the marriage of his daughter, says it Is
a mistake to assert that by the consoli
dation of the traffic departments of the
Harrlman roads In the West under him
many men lost positions. "With hardly
an exception," he added, "all the men
"were taken care of; In fact, some have
better jobs now that they had before."
TROLLEY LINE FOR WALLA WALLA
Franchise for 25 Years on All the
Streets Granted.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Oct. 18. The
City Council tonight amended and passed
by unanimous vote the ordinance grant
ing Edward S. Isaacs and associates a
franchise to build and operate for 25" years
an electric street-car line In Walla Walla.
Tne right to build In any and all streets

single trolley or other electric system. Mr.
Isaacs agreed to the amendments and
announces his Intention to build the road
In the near future, as there is plenty of
capital behind him.
New Burlington Company Organized.
BURLINGTON, la., Oct 18. The new
Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Railway
Company, which was incorporated in this
city Thursday, was fully organized at a
meeting held this afternoon. The fol
lowing officers were elected: President, A.
W. Baldwin, Burlington; vice-president
and treasurer, J. C. Peasley, Chicago;
secretary, H. E. Jarvis, Burlington.
The meeting' was held behind closed
doors and one day earlier than given out.
All the stockholders were present. In
reply to numerous questions, the officials
would state only that -the company had
been fully organized as above.
George Gould at Salt Lake.
SALT LAKE, Oct. 18. George J. Gould,
president of the Missouri Pacific Rail
way and chairman of the Rio Grande
board, accompanied by a large number of
officials, arrived In this city tonight on a
L special train after a leisurely tour of in
spection which extended rrom Denver to
Salt Lake. Mr. Gould expressed himself
as highly pleased with the physical condi
tion of the road and stated that the entire
system In the near future will be greatly
Improved.
BROOKLYN SEWER SYSTEM.
Sab-Board of Trade Passes Resolu
tion Favoring: It.
At a rousing meeting of the Brooklyn
Sub-Board of Trade, held at the Web
foot engine-house, on Powell and Mil
waukle streets, the proposed 'Brooklyn
sewer system was discussed, and it was
the unanimous vote of the gathering that
the sewer system should be constructed.
City Engineer Chase was present, and
was invited to address the meeting, and
he compiled. He remarked that the .en
gineer's department did not begin sewers
or other improvements, but carried out
the wishes of the property-owners 'and
the orders of 'the Council and Board of
Public .Works. Mr. Chase then entered
into an extended explanation of .the pro
posed sewer. While It had not been set
down on paper he said he had in his
mind an Idea of the extent of the ter
ritory that the sewer district would con
tain. It would contain between three and
four square miles of territory, "extend
ing to Mount Tabor and Woodstock. He
explained that the surveyors were at
work and the Engineer's Department was
obtaining data for preparing the plans
and details. This was being done along
with other work. Mr. Chase said it wpuld
probably be next Autumn before all
the necessary data could be gathered,
and about two years before . the plans
could be completed and the work started,
owing to the magnitude; of the system pro
posed. He said the construction of the
main conduit would have to go forward
when the river was at the lowest point.
This part referred to was through the
Stephens Slough, . where It was proposed
to build the main conduit, and which
would be very large.
Mr. Chase explained a great many
things and gave much information on
points that had not been understood. At
the close of his remarks he received the
thanks of the sub-board for his address.
Remarks were also made by J. J. Mur
phy, Penumbra Kelly and others. It was
then moved and carried that the Mayor
and City Council be asked to assist the
Engineer's Department In the prepara
tion of the plans of the sewer and also
to further the" preliminary steps.
At this same meeting J. J. Murphy re
ported what action had been taken for
leasing Hawthorne Park, and the board
Indorsed the leasing of the park by the
commissioners.
Another "Woolen Mill.
There are prospects that the three
acre tract of land on Mllwaukle and Pow
ell streets, formerly occupied by a pump
ing and electric light plant, and owned
by the city, will be leased for a woolen
mill. Application' has been made by H.
D. Wagnon to lease the ground, or that
portion containing the buildings, for 10
years for a three-set woolen mill that
will be first class and give employment to
about 50 men. The matter will come -g?
before the water committee this after
noon. The water' committee uses the
buildings and the ground north of
Brooklyn Creek for storage purposes, and
will want to retain a place on the north
side of the ground for this purpose. A
member of the water committee said
yesterday that he should Insist that if
the ground be leased that the lessees be
required to build a storehouse for the
use of the committee, and that the terms
of the lease should be such as will re
quire that a woolen mill meet require
ments. The City Council will lease the property
if It be leased at all, but would probably
do nothing without a recommendation
from the water committee. The commit
tee on manufactures from the East Side
Improvement Association, composed of E
H. Kilham, Henry E. Reed, J. E. Hunt,"
S. B. Cobb and George W. Weatherly!
with W. D. Fenton, president of the
association, has taken the matter In hand,
and will make the proper representations
to the water committee and to the City
Council. It may be said that Eugene
City is making an effort to secure this
woolen mill.
Will Form Permanent Organization.
At a meeting last evening of the Albina
Sub-Board of Trade It was voted to form
a permanent organization, and also to
favor the erection of a public hall on a
site yet to be selected. The meeting
was addressed by President amuel Con
nell and Secretary C. W. Miller, of the
Portland Board of Trade, and Secretary
Willis S. Duniway, of the Lewis and
Clark Centennial Commission. A build
ing committee was appointed to select
the site and to draw up tho. plans and
specifications, and another committee to
solicit funds and to report at the next
meeting. The building will cost about
$3000. Another committee, consisting of
C. W. Miller, F. C. Beach and C. K.
Henry, was appointed to investigate the
matter" of Inducing the promoters of the
new woolen mill to examine sites In Al
bina. Reception to Dr. Elworthy.
A public reception to Rev. H. B. "El
worthy, D. D., pastor of the Sunnyslde
Methodist Church, and wife, took place
at' the manse, East Morrison street, in
Sunnyslde, last night. The house was
filled to overflowing with the members and
friends. Words of welcome were spoken
by Rev. H. H. Crozler In behalf of the
church. Captain Welch spoke for the
warm welcome from the Sunday school,
and .Mr. Newell represented the Epworth
League. To these addresses Dr. Elwor
thy responded, expressing his apprecia
tion of the welcome he and his wife had
received on their return to the Suunyslde
charge for another year. He asked the
hearty co-operation of all, so that the
year would be fruitful In good works.
Light refreshments were then served.

INDUSTRIAL LINES.
Weekly Reviews of Dnn and Brad
street Some Advances ln,Stnples
Bank Clearings 'Good.
NEW YORK; Oct. 18. Bradstree's to
morrow will say:
Among the notable features brought out
in trade dispatches to Bradstreet's this
week are theS reports of stimulated retail
trade, due to cooler settled weather and
advices of continued activity In leading
Industrial lines, notably Iron and steel,
shoes and leather, coal, lumber, jewelry
and cotton and woolen goods. The ship
ments of products of these Industries
and of groceries to consuming sections
continue heavy, and are accompanied by
reports of delays due to the scarcity of
cars. Another one of those slight up
ward swings In prices of staples, so
numerous of late, has also occurred by
which the general level of- cereals, raw
cotton, dairy products and Lake copper
has been raised. Clearings have expanded
because of an extension of interest In the
security markets, but also because of
'continued good collections, which, in
turn, have Induced rather more ease In
money rates at leading markets.
Advices from the. South are still of a
backward cotton crop movement, ham
pering Fall demand and collections, but
even here there has been an improve
ment noted this week. Iron and steel
consumption, continue fully equal and In
some cases in excess of production. Feat
ures this week have been the sale by
merchant, furnaces in the Pittsburg dis
trict of 75,000 tons of Bessemer pig iron
to leading interests at from $15 25 to
$15 50 per -ton at valley furnaces. Steel
billets have continued scarce ! and are
practically unobtainable for prompt de
livery, though $27 and $28 per ton Is of
"fered. against the nominal quotation or
$26 for distant delivery. Pig iron stocks
In the Central West are said not to ex
ceed one week's supply. Orders for-fully
1.000.000 tons of rails "for next year's de
livery have been booked, although the
principal consuming interest has not yet
apportioned its business, which is ex
pected to exceed 165,000 tons. Plates, bars,
sheets and structural material are all ac
tive, but Iron bars are reported easier.
Tin-plate mills are catching up with their
orders, and a cut Is reported In the price
of wire nails. Railroads are In the mar
ket for cars, and one Western system has
bought 2000 this week. Export business
In Iron and steel Is not promising.
Cooler weather and fear of frosts,
coupled with good reports from the' print
cloth industry, have stimulated raw cot
ton, and this, In turn, Is reflected In
higher quotations for nearly all leading
bleached cottons. Woolen goods are
rather quiet as regards new demand, but
the mills are busy on heavy weights, and
when these are out of the way a large
volume of orders for Spring weights guar
antees continued activity. Wool Is steady
and firm, with a large consumption
progressing.
Failures In the United States for the
week number 198, against 178 last week,
2S3 this week 'a year ago, 221 in 1S99 and
213 In 1898.
Canadian failures for the week num
ber 29, as against 35 last week and 22 a

EXCEPTIONAL ACTIVITY.
Valne of Legitimate Business Larger
Than That o Last Year.
NEW YORK, Oct. 18. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Unfavorable signs are not evident In the
business outlook. Manufacturing Indus-,
tries enjoy exceptional activity, and most
jobbers' and retailers find no occasion 'for
complaint. Mild weather Is the one in
fluence that may be charged with retard
ing retail merchandise distribution, yet
it Is the general opinion that sales thus
postponed will be made up later. The
same Influence Is Invaluable in facilitat
ing the handling of crops, erecting build
ings and other outdoor work. Although
a fifth of the year Is still to be heard
from, including the usual Interruption of
elections and possible disturbance of
legislation, there Is good evidence that
the volume of legitimate business will
largely exceed all previous records. Spec
ulation Is comparatively quiet, both in
securities and options on leading products,
which emphasizes the activity in trade
channels, as shown by bank exchanges
for the week at New York. 33 per cent
larger than last year, and 8.4 above
. 1899. - while . at other leading " cities . the
gains were 16.3 and 9.1 per cent respec
tively. Strength without Inflation still charac
terizes the Iron and steel situation. De
spite two months of interruption by the
strike, evidence accumulates that the
year will surpass all records in production
of finished material and consequently In
consumption of pig iron. Orders already
booked for delivery far Into 1902 promise
that next year will bring still higher rec-
Lords. and the steadiness of prices makes
the outlook especially favorable. Mills
as a rule have practically closed con
tracts for all the orders that can be
filled this year, and future developments
can only affect conditions In 1902 as to
finished steel. Heavy orders are recorded
for rails, with a free movement of struc
tural material, while wire and wire nails
go abroad In large quantities. Pig iron
Is hardening under the vigorous demand,
forge and Southern foundry securing
definite advances and Bessemer in Pitts
burg is firm at $16.
Tin plates are almost restored to normal
prices. Since domestic mjlls have resumed
and Imports ceased, the London market
has declined sharply. Copper rose In the
face of reports that a large reduction In
list prices was contemplated by leading
producers to reduce stocks. Footwear
factories still have many weeks full em
ployment on heavy-weight goods for Win
ter. Supplementary orders for seasonable
lines still arrive from Eastern jobbers.
Prices are not quotably higher, though
the rapid rise of leather has taken so
much of the profit that shoes must soon
deteriorate In quality if better quotations
are not forthcoming. Leather has begun
to exhibit symptoms of speculation, but
buying by the leading manufacturers for
actual consumption also reached a large
total.
Woolen goods are more quiet, yet ship
ments of over 5,000,000 pounds of wool
weekly from Boston indicate no decrease
in activity at the mills.
Fluctuations In cereals were small, with
markets dull and featureless. Wheat lost
a little of the early gain, although de
clining prices a year ago makes the dif
ference smaller than It has been at any
time this crop year. Foreign liquidation
of flour is still unsatisfactory, but the
outgo of wheat is heavy. For the week,
United States exports, flour Included,
amounted to 4,391,503 bushels, compared
with 3.646.761 bushels last year and 4.255,
j 766 bushels two years ago. Western re
ceipts of 5.903.614 bushels, atralnst 7.426.-
651 bushels last week and 7,126.419 a year
ago. Indicate that the new crop Is being
marketed less freely, dealers holding back
In expectation of better prices.
Failures for the week numbered 229 In
the United States, against 204 last year,
and 31 in Canada, against 2G last year.
FAVORING HOME PRODUCTS,
Text of the New Lavr Relative to
Buying Public Supplies.
Inquiries have been made about the law
passed by the last Legislature directing
a preference for Oregon products and
manufactures In the purchase of public
supplies. When the price and quality of
home products and manufactures Is not
to the disadvantage of home goods, pur
chases, shall be made within the state.
The law Is as follows:
Any person, committee, board, officer, or
any other person charged with the purchase,
or permitted or authorized to purchase sup
plies, goods, wares, merchandise, manufac
tures or produce, for the uso of the state or
any of Its institutions or ofIlce3. or for the
use of any county, city, town or school district
or any of their Institutions or offices, shall
always, price, fitness and quality being equal,
prefer such supplies, godds, wares, merchan
dise, manufactures or produce as has been
grbwn, manufactured or produced in this
state, and shall next prefer such as have been
partially so manufactured, grown or produced
In this state.
New Homeseekerii' Rate.
OMAHA, Oct. 18. General passenger
agents here have been asked to vote on a
new homeseekers rate for 1902. The
proposition for these rates Is that they
be made on the first and third Tuesday
of February, March, April, August, Sep
tember, October and November, at 11-5
fare for the round trip. The new rate
raises the fare slightly and requires a long
trip to make the ticket of any value.

No Argument Needed
Every Sufferer From Catarrh Knows
That Salves, Lotions. Wahes,
Sprays and Douches Do
Not Cure.
Powders, lotions, salves, sprays and In
halers cannot really cure Catarrh, be
cause this disease Is a blood disease, and,
local pppllcatlons. If they accomplish any
thing at all, simply give transient re
lief. The catarrhal poison is In the blood
and the mucous membrane of the nose,
throat and trachea tries to relieve tho
system by secreting large quantities of
mucous, the discharge sometimes closing
up the nostrils, dropping into the throat,
causing deafness by closing the Eustach
ian tubes, and after a time causing ca
tarrh of the stomach or serious throat
and lung troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh must be
an Internal remedy which will cleanse
the blood from catarrhal poison and re
move the fever and congestion from the
mucous membrane.
The best and most modern remedies
for this purpose are antiseptics scientifi
cally known as Eucalyptol, Gualacol.
Sangulnaria and Hydrastln. and while
each of these has been successfully used
separately, yet It has been dlfllcult to
get them all combined In one palatable,
convenient and efficient form.
The manufacturers of the new catarrh
cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, have suc
ceeded admirably In accomplishing th.s
result. They are large, pleasant-tasting
lozenges, to be dissolved In the mouth,
thus reaching every part of the mucous
membrane of the throat and finally the
stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies, Stuart'3
Catarrh Tablets contain no cocaine, opi
ate or any Injurious drug whatever and
are equally beneficial for little children
and adults.
Mr. C. R. Rembrandt, of Rochester, X.
Y., says: "I know of few people who
have suffered as much as I from catarrh
of the head, throat and stomach. I usei
sprays, inhalers and powders for months
at a time with only slight relief, and
had no hope of cure. I had not tho
means to make a change of climate,
which seemed my only chance of cure.
"Last Spring I rend an account of some
remarkable cures made by Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets and promptly bought a ntty
cent box from my druggist and obtained
such positive benefit from that one pack
age that I continued to use them dally
until now I consider myself entirely free
from the disgusting annoyance of ca
tarrh; my head Is clear, my digestion all
I could ask and my hearing, which had
begun to fall as a result of the catarrh,
has greatly improved, until I feel I can
hear as well as ever. They are a house
hold necessity In my family."
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at 50 cents for complete treat
ment, and for convenience, safety and
prompt results they are undoubtedly the
long-looked-for catarrh cure.
