Th trade record for the closing di-y of September is Invested with unusual significance for the reason that it closes th third quarter of the year and n. able the Industrial statistician to make comparisons and calculation that are much more valuable as showing; the actual tendency in trade conditions than are those comparisons than take single week of the year as a basis for figuring. The feature of the commercial record for this third quarter of lMff is the show ing In Uie matter of diminishing liabll. Hies in failures. The average liabilities of manufacturing and trading failures In the United States for this quarter were only Jisr, which were smaller than in any previous year of which tltere was any classified record. The most gratifying evidences of re Tiring; prosperity furnished by the reports of the week are to be found in the steady Increase in the volume of legit imate business, which was larger than during; the same month In 1SSS, and In 'he Increasing; activity in the productive industries. Nearly al macufacturing Planes, particularly in iron, steel and cotton, are Increasing their working forces, and there have been occasional Increases in the wage scales. Iron man ufacture has been slow to feel the stim ulus of the general revival of industry because less affected by replenishment f dealers, stocks than other industries, but It Is now being pushed to unusual expansion by tie growing demand for finished products. There was a decline of t cents In the price of wheat, owing to an increase in the estimate of the total crop which fa now thought to be about bushels more than will be required for food and seed and a decrease In foreign buying. The exports of wheat, however, from both coasts and Montreal slightly exceed those of last week, the total ag gregating 5,824,2 bushels, against S4 for the same week last year. Other unmistakeable evidences of per manency in the upward movement of trade and Industry were furnished by the Increase of 36.1 per cent in bank clear tons of eighty-seven cities, the favorable report of railway earnings, and the tendency in conservative circles to check the extension of . speculation In stocks before danger points ore reached. It la not from wheat alone that the Western fanners are reaping prosperity this year. The values of live stock of all kinds have increased on an average of about 25 per cent, and from the great stock yards of Kansas City HyAO.OM more than in liSrO will be distributed among the producers. This Is a statement male by the secretary of the Live Stock Ex. change of Kansas City, after careful cal culation, and taking into consideration both the rise in values and the increase in receipts. Every steer now sold in Hie stock yards In that city brings from K to )i more than the same kind of a steer brought a year ago; every calf, from 12 to 33 more; every hog, from J3 to 13.25 more, and every sheep, II more. The total value of all (be live stock handled at that market this year will reach 125,000,000 and more. With these Increased profits from his live stock, added, to the large returns for his wheat the Western farmer is enjoying a season of remarkably good fortune and prosper-? Ity, .and, ha good , cause for rejoiclng. Thi Is a great year for Che Xarmtr and a poor year for the cheap money agitator. A few week ago th editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly a bad cas of la grippe and recognizing it a dangerous be took Immediate step to bring- about a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Cham berlain' Cough Remedy and the many good recommendations Included therein, we concluded to make a first trial of the medicine. To ay It was satisfactory In It result la put ting- it very mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and the re sult s a speedy and permanent cure. We have no hesitancy In recommending this excellent Cough Remedy to anyone afflicted with a cough or cold In my form. The Banner of Liberty, Liberty town, Maryland.
