When he comes out for Bryan It means simply that McKinley has lost Just one vote, and not more,” said Senator Hanna when questioned as to the declina tion of Mayor Jones of Toledo that he would probably not run for Congress, but would make speeches for Bryan and Stev enson. "Mr. Jones,” the Senator continued, •‘says, X notice, that he will not announce himself for Congress because he says the people don't want him. It would be a bad year for him If he were to run, for the Re publican party in Ohio ie amply able to carry the State and Jonas' own district, with him in the race or out of It. I see Mr. Bryan is squaring off to come at us with the race question. I understand he will attack us on disfranchisement lines. Well, that will have litftle effect. Let him come down to Ohio and talk to ths colored people there and see what they think of the Republicans thera This Is a day of news papers, and neither Bryan or anybody else can shut the eyes of the press.

ARITHMETIC AND FOOD. >chool Chiidreu Must bo Metier l td A young girl In Newport, Ind., Mias Ethel Thornton, suys no one has a better right to speak of Grape-Nuts food than she. “I was In school .but in poor health, until mamma began to give me Grape-Nut* food. I began to improve at once, both mentally and physically, and I improved •o in my work at school that I got 100 in arithmetic, and during that time 1 gained 8 or 4 pounds in weight, and am still gain ing. "There Is no one has a right to recom mend the food mor* highly than I. Mamma neglected to supply it for about three weeks, and I began to fail In health again, so I commenced the use of the Food over, and now 1 don't intend to do without Grape-Nuts on the table.” It is well for parents to know that Grape-Nuts food contains selected ele ments from the grains, prepared and cook ed In such a way as to present these food •foments so that they can be quickly di gested an<l asgimil^ted; t£e prosphate of potash obtained from the held grains, and contained In Grape-Nuts unites with the albumen of food to quickly rebuild the gray matter In the nerve centers and brain. It la of the greatest Importance that growing children and students be given food that sustains both brain and nerves. GENERAL REYIEW OF WEEKLY TRADE .Storm Caused Reduction of Vol ume of Southern Business. INFLUENCE OF THE STRIKE Cotton Goods Respond to the Advance in Raw Materials-Recovery Not ed in Iron and Steel M irket. General Tone Healthy New York, September 14.—R. G. Dun & Company’s weekly review of trade tomor row will say: The tropical storm that devastated the gulf coast, almost wiping out the city of Galveston, and doing damage in other parts of the country, caused a reduction in the volume of (business in the south, and the railroads In the gulf region, probably not shown their maximum losses of earnings as yet. An added cause of hesitation in business is the order for a strike of anthracite coal miners. Otherwise the working force has in creased this week, for operations aie re suming at steel mills, and the Michigan Peninsular Car Plant and the Deering Har i vester Works have started up, after seven | weeks’ idleness, with 3000 hands each. From many quarters of the west and southwest, a better distribution of merchandise is re ported In jobbing and retail circles. The weather has continued favorable for the maturing corn crop, with cutting prog ressing and the crop generally beyond dan ger, but damage to cotton by the storm Is still an unknown quantity. Trices of staple commodities are higher for the week, hoist ed by the sharp rise in cotton, but In man ufactured products there is little change, though steady increases of business at the current level Is satisfactory. Cotton closed last week at the highest price in t-en years, and a large short inter est was awaiting reaction. Instead there canie news of the disaster in Texas and sensational reports that a million bales had been destroyed. At the New York Exchange trading was far in excess of all previous records and prices rose by bounds. Subse quently there were less exaggerated reports from the south, but the market failed to respond, and middling uplands advanced to 11 cents. The price In the raw material caused a sharp advance in cotton goods. In one week standard brown stiieetings rose from 6.»>? to 6 cents, wide bleached sheeting from 20 to 21, standard brown dTilis from 5.67 to 3.87, and staple ginghams from 5 to 5.50 cents. Buyers who have been delaying for weeks arc anxious to secure iiioerai supplies, both inland and distant. Stock In first hands were cleaned up, and sellers generally with drew from the market. Wheat rose above 8 cents again, in the face oi receipts for the crop year thus lar, 8,2u1,!m0 bushels larger than last year, while exports decreased 10, 251,378 bushels, including flour. Reports of heavy rains in some sections and injury to the crop, with better inquiries by foreign I houses, explain the advance. More orders are oe*ng received at iron mills and prices are steady. In structural and finished material there is much busi ness, and activity is becoming almost uni versal in the Iron region. Steel rails are waiting for the agreement as to prices, i which is expected to be reached next week. 1 A reduction in keeping with other steel ! products is considered certain, and then i the market will be on a settled basis. Some j larger makers favor $27.E0 as the new ba- ! sis, and believe that nearly two million tons will be ordered at that figure. Ship ping was never more active, and a feature was a contract for a coal pier to be used In the export trade. Boots and shoes begin to recover after many weeks of idleness throughout New England. Orders are coming freely, and a return to a normal condition is in pros pect. Last week’s shipments from Boston were only 67,142 cases, which is the small est amount since the decline began, but increase in purchasing promises early gain In forwardings. Conditions are similar in the wool market, where sales last week aggregated 2,643,000 pounds, against 12,056, 500 a year ago. Prices do not tall, as might be expected, in such a dull season. Failures for the week were 195 in tha United States, against 149 last year, and 30 in the Dominion of Canada, against 32 last year. HK.VDXTRKET'S REVIEW New York. September 14.—Bradstreet’s of tomorrow will say: Expanding demand at advancing prices in many lines of trade finds its'chief exemplar In the market for raw cotton, which has witnesses the greatest excitement, heaviest trading and largest gains In price for at least a decade. Karely, If ever, In the his tory of the trade as conducted on modern I lines, has the interest displayed in that 1 product been greater and the manufactur I ing interests of the world find the situation ' a perplexing one, while the prospects of large profits to producers are stimulating all lines of southern trade. English spinners who are reported very generally short of supplies, are considering drastic methods of meeting t)he requirements. In American cotton goods, the situation from being a short time ago buyers’ market, is now re versed, and sellers are in a position to dic tate terms. So suddenly has the outlook as viewed by the trade generally changed, however, that manufacturers are unable or unwilling to define their exact position, or, | ll they accept new business, more so on a distinct basis of cost of new supplies. Max ' lmum cotton crop esttmaters of past years are apparently panic-stricken and predict \ famine stocks for the end of the year, even with reduced consumption. Most food prices are either firm or higher on the week, wheat being advanced on bet ter export demand, and bad weather at the northwest, proved by the low grade of much of the receipts; corn is In good de mand. with scant supplies of the old crop and pork and lard sympathize therewith. Raw sugar is still scarce and higher on the week, and coffee is fractionally higher. Among the few products lower are butter and tea. Print cloths are out of the mar ket at old prices and southern cotton yarns have advanced. Wool is still rather weak, and the demand for spring weight men’s wear goods is still disappointing. The predicted anthracite coal miners' ■trike Is almost the only unfavorable feat I ure of the industrial situation. The Iron i and steel situation has not materially j changed, and irregularity In demand and prices Is still a feature. Rather more talk Is heard of the lnlluence of election un certainties upon future trade, and certaln j ly some additional weakness Is told at ! lending pig Iron markets; while, on the other hand, finished material Is rather | more firmly held. Examples of this are afforded In the weaker tone of pig Iron at Philadelphia and Birmingham and In the placing of Bessemer pig on the S14 basis at Pittsburg. On the other hand, some , large sales of pig are noted at Chicago at 50 cents advance, and 25,000 tons of plates have been placed at that city at former rates, while bars are active and higher. Wire products are reported well cleaned up and stocks are light. More Is doing In , bars at other western points. Hardware ** In good demand and a good fall buslnes. is likely. The outlok as to steel rail price, ia unsettled, but lower quotations ai looked for.
