Rradntrect'a Trade Report. Bradstreet's to-morrow will say for Richmond and vicinity: As a whole trade shows slight Im? provement as the fall season advnnces, and the outcome of crops become a certainty. However, there continues a] backward tendency, and merchants continue to buy- in small quantities rather than place henvy future orders As Is usual, 'n consequence, house trade and filling orders aer above the average. High prices have retarded sales In provisions. However, fruits are ] plentiful and the winter apple crop is good. Trade at the far South Is good I In shoes, rubber goods and wearing I apparel. Trunk manufacturers report I good sales, their territory practlcallr I covering the whole country. Labor la fairly well employed locally. This is partly due to very active building operations. Rains have benefited late crops and pacture lands, however; the j early crops In Virginia are poor. Con? tinued favorable reports are received from North Carolina regarding the cotton crop, and picking Is progress? ing under favorable conditions. Retail trade nnd collections are quiet.

Face Also Affected. Cuticura Ointment Eased Skin Right Away and Completely Cured. **! retired one evening and after sleeping ? couple of hour* was awakened by a burning aen*atiou all over the upper part ol toy body.

When daylight arrived I saw that my body waa corered with large red marks about an loch or two apart. My face wan also adected. I stayed home that day aad went to see a doctor. lie told me that I must have oaten something poison? ous, and I had the hives. He prescribed a medicine and also gave me some ointment. ; " As the days went by I ste*d:l7 grew worse. 1 the marks changing from one part of my body to another. The medicine and ointment were of no use, and I felt greatly disappointed until oao evening by chance looking over tho papers I saw the Cuticura Remedies adver- | tiscd.

Argument was continued yesterday beforo the' State Corporation Commis? sion by Eppa Hunton. Jr., In behaTf of his motion to dlemlas the petition of the city of Richmond and others to require the reopening of the city dock. Mr. Hunton concluded his second argu? ment on his motion, and the commis? sion adjourned to this morning. It Is supposed there will be further ad? dresses before the matter Is submit? ted. Mr. Hunton made the point yester? day that the bondholders of the Wil? liam R. Trlgg Company, now owners of the dock, are not required to keep It open, for the reason that the dock is a basin and not a canal. To sustain his position, he quoted from the orig lnul charter of the Richmond Dock Company and from subsequent acts concerning Its transfer to successive concerns. His point was that Inas I much as the dock Is much wider than I the old company was permitted to at? tain In the building of a canal, it must I have been intended for a basin and i not aB a canal. Therefore, as the only purpose of the dock Is to permit the loading and unloading of vessels, and not to facilitate transportation through it, the Corporation Commission has no jurisdiction, inasmuch as the own? ers are not engaged In the business of transportation. This view will, of course, be com bnted by the attorneys for the city and for the business people located on the dock, who desire an order to com? pel the owners to repair and reopen the dock for public use.
