THE OMAHA BAIT/V HUE : SATITRHAV Adjutant General Barry Reports on the Condition of the Soldiers.

( Speclnl. ) HnvlnR Just returned from n trip to Chlckamauga nml Jacksonville , Ailjutnnt General Harry Is ableto tell the exact condition of the boys In the Second and Third regiments. He says that at Chlckamauga the camp Is a beau tiful place , the sanitary conditions are Rood and the camp Is fitted lip In splendid shape BO that there are stone niui gravel walks and an entire absence of mud after a rain. And yet for some unexplained reason there Is a largo number of sick In camp. The authorities * have not agreed upon the cause of this slrknoas , but General Harry Is of the opinion that It Is the fact that the camp Is located In the timber , where the sun's rays reach the ground so rarely that the dampness Is never driven away. Ho says the nights arc so damp that the clothing of the soldiers Is almost wqt In the morn ing. It Is his opinion that the regiment ought to be sent homo as soon as possible now , there being no good reason for thorn to remain In camp much longer. Mick Men < ' < IIIIIIK | Home. The last report from the Second regiment , Just received , shows that there arc thirty- two sick men In the hospital and 102 In the quarters. Up to the present time the hos pital facilities have been entirely Inadj- quate. but under the direction of Surgeon General Olffen the hospital quarters of the whole camp has been enlarged so that tin ? Rick can bu easily handled. At the same tlmo there Is a general move to have the sick men of all the regiments furloughed anil furnished transportation to their home * . While at Chlckamnugu General Harry and Governor Holcomb made arrangements for the sick of the Second regiment to be started for Nebraska. Among those disabled but still In the quarters was J. A.

REVIEW OF STATE OF TRADE Remarkable Expansion of Business Follows the Clew of the War , GRAIN SUPPLY UNPRECEDENTEDLY LOW Iron InduMry While Itrpnrtlnv De clined lu Product Shorrn Mare SariirUlnir Onln Than Any Other. , ( _ NEW YORK , AUR. 19. R. G. Dun's Ro- vlow of Trade tomorrow will say : . A war which brought no shrinkage of tuslnesa while It luittcd has brought with Its ending n quiet , remarkable expansion. Orders nud purchases have Increased In nearly all branches , few as yet being of such nature that they can be attributed to the material enlargement rf trade with the lately acquired Spanish Islands , which must come a little later. It Is odd that the Iron InJustry , while reporting declines In products , shows more surprising gain in business .than any other. Doth returns of output August 1 show con siderable decrease from July i , but more than the entire decrease Is caused by the stoppage of two Shcnango and four Ma- boning furnaces under agreement to force hlghur prices for Bessenwr pig. In till other states showing change the output Increased excepting of the one furnace in Virginia. The demand for finished products expands remarkably , considering the enormous orders to July 1 , which crowd some of the biggest works until December. Structural orders In clude many bridges and the drainage canal contract for 4,000 tons at Chicago : plates and bars arc lu Etroa cr demand ; nails have advanced 5 cents nnd beams and angles as much ; bars are 10 cents at Flttsburg. Tin plate works which require 40,000 tons | .er month have been buying 160,000 tons of bars , and Btcel works there have bought 123.000 tons of pig , raising the price to $10.-10. Gray forge also advances and eastern anthracite and southern pig at Chicago have advanced 23 cents. There Is a general advance In the minor metals , copper to 12 cents for lake , lead to $4.07V4. and while tin and tin plates are unchanged both are stronger. Shipments of boots and shoes In three weeks of August arc the largest ever known , though but 1.4 per cent larger than In 1895 , being 10 per cent larger than last year and 16 per cent larger than In 1892. In spite of general re fusal of buyers to pay advances asked , pur chases are continuous and keep works busy , many having ordered a month or two ahead. Leather has slightly yielded In some grades , with scarcely any buying abend of neces sities , and hides were a shade lower last week nnd have not changed. There appears a gradual accommodation of prices of ma terials to the necessities of boot and shoe distributors. Such an adjustment Is needed in the woolen Industry , for some mills nre closing and others are selling old stocks of wool , present orders for dress goods not warrantIng - Ing present prices for material. Yet other mills in equal number are starting on dif ferent lines of goods , and in dress goods Instead of 90 per cent plain a large proportion tion of fancies has been taken , though a heavy auction sale , just announced , may affect the demand. Of cotton mills also , though a few have stopped , qulto as many have started , and the demand for staples Is Increasing and ln > prints and ginghams Is fairly good. The yielding In cotton to B 7-3 cents helps the mills and Is not surprising with the present prospects of a great crop. Wheat has further declined 2 cents In spite of general holding of bettor grades by farmers , which renders receipts low and the visible supply small beyond precedent. At 76 cents now Atlantic exports for the week have been 3.059.3SO bushels , flour included , against 3,703,287 bushels lost year , and Pa- clflc exports 173,400 bushels , against 334,813 bushels last year , making for throe weeks 10.llu.246 bushels , against 10,433,832 bushels last year. Corn exports are gradually de clining nnd prices are 2 cents lower , rather larger estimates of yield being now credited. Failures for the week * have been 154 In the United States , agalnstf'223 last year , and seventeen in Canada , against thirty' last year. IlEVIEW OP THE STUCK MARKET. Excited Speculation ClinrncterUtlc of Week' * Dcnllnuri. NEW YORK , Aug. 19. Bradstreet's Fi nancial Review tomorrow will say : This has been a week of active and ex cited speculation. The public has come Into the market , and buying , which nt times assumed an almost reckless appearance , has extended throughout the share list. Large professional interests have taken up vari ous parts of the list In succession and found the public ready to follow their 'ead. The conspicuous feature of the week was the granger stocks and the most striking Incident the Increase of Burlington dividend rote to 11-2 per cent quarterly , or 6 per cent per annum. This announcement com ing out on Wednesday when the market seemed likely to react under taking of profits by the traders , kept up the excite ment and advances for that day , while It resulted In dealings to the extent of 900- 000 shares , made one of the largest days the exchange has had In some time. On Thurs day , however , there was more or less re action throughout the market , profits being taken freely , while at the declines there was a fair amount of freih buying ; . On Fri day the market tended to recover still further and suoport was given by large Interests. Shorts covered and the close was In many cases at or near the highest lv > l of the movement. The market Is certainly a much broader ono th'tn for a Ion * time past. Commis sion house buying has been the feature and whl'e ' as yet It rannot bo said thnt the public has taken the markt awav from the nroferslonpl.

Iiiorenne * ! Trade nml Pence llnnlM for ( loot ! DunlncNN. NEW YORK , Aug. 19. Bradstreet's will tomorrow say : Perhaps the most Interesting feature of the general business situation at present Is the air of sense with which the mercantile community awaits the approach of the fall trade period. While , of course , based In j some degree upon the favorable results al ready achieved In many lines , It Is unques tionably true that the flattering crop out look nt home and the return of peace , with the expectation of benefits to our export ] trade naturally expected to accrue there from , make for much of the feeling thus ex pressed. Rellectlon of the growth of fall trade Is found lu the steady expansion now going on In bank clearings , the Improved demand nt higher prices for most makes of Iron and steel ; the generally favorable railway earn ings , which , In default of a large movement of crops to market , point to a large return trade In manufactured goods to the agricul tural sections , and the reports of continued activity In distributive trade west and south , with signs of a moderate increase in Inter est nt leading eastern markets , which | hitherto have not shared largely In the trade | Improvement. The Immense business doing in iron and steel products at advanced prices calls at tention to the proportionately less notable j expansion of crude iron production. Pig Iron statistics , in fact , point to an even smaller output for the current month , some of which curtailment , of course , Is naturally based upon midsummer conditions. Ad vances In many grades of Iron , notably Bcs- semer and southern pig , are features of the [ week , as are also high quotations for steel billets at nearly all markets , wire rods nnd great many classes of finishing Iron and Our $1,50 Boy's Shoe Won't keep the foot dry If the boyn put them In the lagoon but they will outwear any other boys' shoo ever sold for $ l.r > 0 two pairs of most kinds Is the way It generally goes good solid plump uppers that are soft enough to be easy on the feet and strong cnoiish to wear out : t pair of soles and the soles arc the best oalc sole leather made If we were to make the average shoo store prollt these would be.li.OO at our own low margin $1.75 but we never did claim to make anything on these shoes just want to come out oven so price them at ? 1..V > Wc'vo sold the same people time and time agaiu.
