Business Continues Its Improvement
In All Directions.
THE ABILITY TO PURCHASE.
That Is the Feature‘of the Situation Which
Overshadows All Others—The Rise
In Wheat Not Due to a Flurry.
Failures of the Week.
New York, Sept. 11.~—R. G. Dun dz
Co.’s Weekly review of trade says:
There is no halting in the advance.
Business grows better in all ways, for
while its speculative end breaks con-
spicuous gamblers for a decline, a
steady increase in production, in work-
ing force and in the power of the peo-
ple to purchase is the feature which
overshadows all others.~ Reports of
New York. trades unions show an in-
crease since one year ago of 34 per
cent in the number of men at work,
and a. similar increase among men in
like positions throughout the country
would exceed 340,000, While every week
adds many: establishments to the ac-
gtual list. The boal miners’ strike has
disclosed such facts and brought to
light such differences that work will
probably be very soon resumed by a
large share of the men. The farmers
are helped by higher prices for wheat,
and while western receipts do not show
that they have marketed a tenth of
their crop, assurance of handsome prof-
its to come prepares them to buy lib-
enally hereafter. Because of this and
the increase of hands at work, dealers
throughout the country have started
to replenish stocks, which is the great
force at present operating in manufac-
tures and trade, though distribution by
retail trade has greatly increased.
A gain'of 12 per cent in one month in
the output of pig iron, from 165,378 tons
Aug. 1 to 185,506 Sept. 1, with knowl-
edge that half a dozen other furnaces
are preparing to resume, and that Im-
sold stocks have been reduced 14,400
in August, indicating a.
consumption of about 190,000, more than
explains the moderate advance in
prices .of finished products, averaging
but 6 per cent since the lowest point
'Aug. 12. Pig is a shade stronger at
Chicago, but the proof that the advance
' is healthy is found in the growing de-
mands of consumers. ,
The Rise In ‘Vheat.
Wheat has risen 5 cents the past
week, not in a flurry, but in answer to
the daily increasing foreign demand.
Though reports of the crop, now almost
wholly outof danger, indicate a yield
never surpassed but once, foreign ac-
counts still strengthen the belief that
the deficiency abroad will be about 100,-
000,000 bushels more than usual, and
meanwhile reports indicate that less
corn than was expected will be avail-
able ‘for export. Its price has risen
about 1 cent. While wheat receipts at
Chicago have been breaking records, re-
ceipts at all wes'tern‘ ports are for the
week a little below last year’s, but At-
lantic exports—9,778,138 bushels, flour
included, against 4,270,755 last year, for
two weeks, with 5,579,771 bushels corn,
against 3,570,704 last year—indicate a
foreign demand apparently limited at
present only by shiproom.
Since the small corner in August,
cotton has relapsed to 7% cents, no ru-
mors affecting prices much. The final
report of The Financial Chronicle makes
last year’s crop 8,714,011 bales, con-
sumption by southern mills 1,024,482 and
by northern 1,835,000, which, with ex-
ports and reduction of stocks here and
abroad, indicates a larger world’s con-
sumption of American cotton than ever
before. While the yield promises to
much exceed that consumption, The
Financial Chronicle believes it cannot
yet be safely predicted, as the crop is
late. Northern mills are consuming
very largely, with 'a. continuing demand
for goods, which has advanced the
prices of many. With enormous specu-
lative sales of wool which appear to
constitute most of the market at Bos-
ton, there is also more buying there and
elsewhere by the woolen mills, which
are enjoying an extraordinary demand
for goods at prices averaging not 10
per cent higher than were paid early
in the year.
The Stock Market.
The market for securities has again
shown surprising strength, caring noth-
ing for foreign buying at one time or
selling at another, but advancing more
or .less every day during the past week
in the average of all active stocks. The
average advance for the week has been
68 cents per share for raflroads and 58
cents for trusts. The heavy earnings
of some companies, and the extra divi-
dend declared on St. Paul common were
of large influence, but still more the
great tonnage, which from Chicago east
bound was for the week 25.9 per cent
larger than in 1892. Lake and rail ton-
nage has also surpassed all records.
Earnings in August on more than half
the mileage in the country were $41,-
188,801 in the United States alone, a gain
of 12 per cent compared with last year
and .4 per cent compared with 1892,
making the return decidedly surpass
that for July or any other month this
year. The exchanges through clearirg'
houses also exceed those of the same
weeks in 1892 about 3.5 per cent, and
those of 1896 by 48.1 per cent. So great
', a gain in the,volume of business can
only be attributed to very extensive
replenishing of long curtailed stocks by
dealers throughout the country. .
The foreign exchanges are held strong
by the lateness of the cotton crop and
delay of bills against that product, and
by uncertainties connected with opera—
tions of the British government in In—
dia, which borrowed very successfully
$5,000,000 in London after suspending
sales of council-bills and may probably
the operation. Interior move-
fiom this city,
ing western, but the money market was
still ready to take a rather increased
amount of commercial loans, in which
grocery and dry goods houses were
prominent. Failures for the week have
been 215 in the UnitedStates against
315 last year, and 35 in Canada. against
47 last year. »

’Fatal'Accidont at a. United States Mill--

‘ New York, Sept. 11.*T\K’O men -w'ere

two of them, it is believed, fatally, at
the United States post'at Willet's
Point, N. Y., today. For a long time ex-
tensive improvements have been going.
on inside the fortification. New guns,
which arrived a short time ago-and are
to guard the sound, are being put in
place, and many laborers are employed
in the work.
Seven men, nearly all residents of the
village of Whitestone, were at work
manning a. hugederrick which was used
in changing the position of one of the
new guns. In some manner the supports
of the derrick gave way and it fell. It
occurred so quickly that the seven men
did not have time to escape, and the
derrick fell on them. Two were killed
instantly. They were John Brash and
William Bendheimer, two residents of
Whitestone. The others were all in“
jured. The bodies of the dead men were
taken from beneath the"'derrick by the
United States engineers stationed at the‘
fort, and the injured were removed to
the post hospital on the grounds.
‘ Brash, one of the men who was kill-
ed, had the bones of hispback drivgy
through the flesh, and his head was also
crushed. Bendheimer we grushed'elk

fatally injured, as supp'osednvere named
Brice and Higgins .3ch ware resi_dents
of Whitestone. Brice's ~collar bone Was
broken, as were several of his ribs, while
he was injured internally. Higgins had
his back broken, and he was also in-
jured internally and badly crushed. The
three others were severely but not fa-
tally injured. After they had been at-
tended to at the post hospital they were
removed to their homes in Whitestone.
There were many women and childrgp,
families of men employed in the fol-tin.
cations, about the gates shortly after
the news of the accidentoccurred. Their
shrieks and cries were heard for a long
distance, and all endeavored to get in—
side. - ‘
The derrick which fell was about 100
feet in height and weighed several tons.
The accident, investigation shows, was
caused by one of the guy ropes break-'
ing. About 100 men were working in the
vicinity of the big derrick. Fortunate—
ly the greater number of them were not
in a direct line with it when it fell.
JOHN P. BLKIN OUT.
Pennsylvania’s Deputy Attorney General
' Has Resigned by Request.
Harrisburg, Sept. 11.——John P. Ell‘in
of Indiana, county chairman of the
Republican state committee, stated
today- that he had resigned by re-
quest ‘as deputy attorney general and
that his resignation had been accepted.
The correspondence will be made public
when Attorney General McCormick,
who is in Philadelphia. today with Gov—
ernor Hastings, returns to Harrisburg.
Mr. Elki-n is getting his affairs in shape
to retire immediately and will probably
leave at once for his home at Indiana.
No reason is assigned for his retirement
but it isthought his connection with
the indemnifying bond, which led to the
resignation of General Reeder, had
much to do with it.
Mr. Elkin is one of the signers of the
famous bond. Colonel Wilbur F. Reed-
er of Bellefonte, assistant adjutant gen—
eral and law partner of Governor Has-
tings, is mentioned as a probable suc—
cessor to Elkin. The governor has not
yet named General Reeder’s- successor.
