At the spring term of the Lancaster
county district court T. P. Kennard re
covered a Judgment against the state of
Nebraska for $13.521.99 , with Interest , be
ing the fee claimed by Kennard for the
Bale of certain government lands. Today
the attorney genernt filed an appeal In the
case with the clerk of the supreme court ,
charging numerous errors on part of the
district court. The petition saya that the
court erred In overruling the demurrer of
the state and also In holding that It had
Jurisdiction or the right to pass upon the
controversy. Another claim of error is
that the Judgment was barred by the
statute of limitations.

NEW YOKK , Sept , 2.-H. a. Dun K Co.'s
Weekly Hevlew of Trade will say tomor
row :
The smallest failures ever recorded In
any month for live years were those of
\UKUSt. No other month since the monthly 1 '
reports were commenced by Dun's Review
exclusively has shown defaulted liabilities
as small within $1,000.000 mid the ratio
of such defaults to solvent business rep
resented by exchanges through air clearIng -
Ing houses only J108.70 In $100,000 la
smaller by 20.5 per cent thau In any pre
vious. The clearings have been the largest
known In August and 23.06 per cent larger
than In 1892.
The enormous volume of business In the
month , usually one of the most Inactive of
the year , demands attention. 1'oBtpone-
mcnt during the months of wnr of some
contracts and purchases , which have now
come forward , explains part of the Increase
and the strong absorption of securities ex
plains part , but there has also been a great
Iccllno In the average of prices for nil com
modities , so that It takes a much larger
volume of business to make up transac
tions amounting to $1,000,000 more than In
1892. It Is , therefore , strlctfy true that
business Is larger than In the very best
of all past years , nnd yet there Is every
prospect of much further Increase.
There Is no room to doubt that the
wheat crop , even though It may fall a shade
lielow some estimates , will prove the larg
est ever harvested , and although llrerbohm
estimates Europe's crop at 232,000,000 bush
els more than the last , that would be only
about an average yield , while other evi
dence Is less favorable. Foreign buying
lias been strong , so that AtMntlc exports
for the week have been 3,320,878 bushels ,
ngalnst 5,531,768 bushels last year , and Pu-
clllc exports 458,881 bushels , against 2..8-
651 bushels last year. Hut receipts at the
west are Increasing and the price has
dropped C. cents for spot , though the Sep
tember option Is 7-Sc lower for the week.
Corn has fallen a fraction , later reports In-
dlcatlng a less satisfactory yield , and prob
ably not more than should be consumed at
liomo In enlarging the stock of animals.
The advance of 1-lGc In cotton to fi.Slc
has followed a Mttle better milling demand
with less favorable reports of probable
yield , but the crop Is at the worst likely
to exceeil the world's needs. The New
Orleans Cotton exchange makes the output
for the last year 11,119.054 bales and south
ern consumption 1,192,021 bales.
The Improvement in the Iron Industry
lias not only continued , but becomes morn
impressive , because , after enormous buy-
lug of materials has satisfied the needs
of great consumer ! for months to come ,
the demand for products IB so great that
both materials and products gradually ad
vance In price , llessemer pig has risen to
$10.55 at I'lttsburg , focal roke at Chicago
and anthracite foundry at the east are
strong and also bars nnd plates advanced
n shade , with most structural and plate
mills filled with orders for months to come
and 2r..OOO tons of rails sold at Chicago for
delivery next year. The advance In tin
plates In spite of production , thought Im
possible not long ago. Is evidence that the
consumption of steel In that branch will
be heavy. Wire nail works nrso report a
better demand and the output of Oonnells-
vlllo coke has started up , gaining 10,000
tons for the week.
The woolen mills have rather better or
ders this week , but not enough as yet to
warraut running near full force , with the
price of wool held at the west much above
eastern markets anU those markets
about 1 cent higher than the bills are bid
ding. In cotton manufacture there Is bet
ter demand , with l-10c rise in print cloths ,
though brown sheetings are n shade lower ,
the demand for other goods being still
fairly strong.
Failures for the. week have been 171 In
the United States , against 1B1 last year ,
and twenty-two In Canada , against twenty ,
five last year.

NEW YORK , Sept. 2. Uradstreet'a tomor
row will say :
The advent of September finds fall trade
apparently In full swing at thu west ana
northwest and more reported doing nt south
ern Mississippi valley points and In the east ,
tmt the volume' of business In wool nnd dry
joods In tha latter section Is rather smaller
than expected. Early reports of large busi
ness doing during August are confirmed by
aggregates of monthly bank clearings , wtu.-n
show unprecedentedly large totals for that
month , little below. Indeed , the Immense
monthly aggregates of last winter.
Reports from the iron nnd steel trade are
In a high degree favorable , the tonnage
movement being unprecedentedly large and
the total of prices llnu at the advance re
cently scored. Business In steel is excep
tionally largo and In the west , particularly ,
the output Is limited by the ability of the
mills -to keep up orders.
The western crop situation remains prac
tically unchanged , cash wheat being lower
on a rather larger movement of spring
wheat , but an active demand for export has
furnished sustaining power. Corn hatt been
ruled by the weather In surplus producing
states , which Is dry nnd hot , with a Btcacly-
Ing effect on prices. The close of the rotten
year finds the prlco of that staple slightly
firmer on reports of damage by vain to tne
crop in the south Atlantic ntatcs. Krora
other parts of the south crop reports con-
tlnuo qulto favorable and n yield at least
equal to last year is looked for by many.
A better tone In e\ldfiit in the print cloth
markets this week and an advance of 1 1-ltl
rents Is reported , largely the reflection of amore
moro cheerful outlook at Fall River.
Failures In the I'nitrd States arc. down to
very low figures , numbering only 161 this
week , ngaluRt 172 last week , 197 In 1S97 , 3iu :

Distributive trade is active In the west
and northwest with dry goods , boots ami
shoes , hatti and caps , millinery , clothing and
hardware In mont active Utftrlbutlon by
Jobbers. Iron and steel and most of Us
products are In active demimd and consump
tion by miHiufacturcrs. Increased business
Ic leported in the southern Mississippi val
ley. New Orleans telling of Increased ac
tivity In general trade and large receipts or
new iitHK.lon nnd rice. On the south At
lantic coast heavy rains have hurt distribu
tive trade nnd nro claimed to have materi
ally Injured cotton crop prospects. Sail
Francisco udrlce * are that the California
wheat crop will not much exceed H.UtiU.uuo
buahelB , wlnUi Is only about one-third ot
' an average.
About one-half of the usual fruit crop Is
looked for , except In the case of raisins , of
which a heavy yield Is looked for. August
was good month nt 1'ugct sound cltlcu.

NEW YORK , Sept. 2. Hrndstreet's Finan
cial Review tomorrow will say :
| Prices have been Irregular nnd nt the tw > -
glnnlng of the week the tone of speculation
I was reactionary. Largo interests were dls-
| posed to withdraw support or to act on the
bear side nnd there was more or less llqul-
' datlon of the largo bull account open for
1 the public. London nl"o sold and the firm
ness of the money market checked sivcula-
tlvo buying In spite of the weakness of
I exchange and the Increase probability of
gold Import n. The news that some gold was
coming to thu Vnited States fcom Australia
and London seemed , however , to diminish
pressure. In the money market nnd arrested
enforced liquidation of Blocks. Later on , the
market , though still Irregular , exhibited a
firmer tone , advances bolng scored In the
Pacific stocks while shorts covered In Man
hattan , People's Has , Sugar nnd other portions
tions of the list which had been depressed
by bear soiling. At the same time London
uhowod Increased readiness to purchase here ,
although Interest rates there had advance
i sharply on fears of a drain of gold to the
' United States. The extreme heat at the
west was reported to have Injured the corn
crop and on this the grangers were heavy.
It was noted that throughout the week thn
market did not move In unison , nnd its nc-
j tlon WUH confined to particular groups mov
ing for special reasons , or under the manipu
lation of professionals. In fact the latter
element have been moro In evidence than
for some time past , while commission IIOUPOB
are lesa active. Additional evidence of the
decrease of public Interest Is furnished by
the smaller volume of transactions.
The boud market has shared In thenp
peculiarities. Transactions In bonds are
smaller and some of the more active in-
vestmentn and a number of speculative spe
cialties have receded as to price. On the
other hand the railroad bond list shows
other Issntes which have advanced , notably
these of the Nortl" = rn Pacific road , while
now records have been made In some low-
pp.ced bonds , like those of the Colorado Mid
land. Governments have been less active
and the older Issues are fractionally lower ,
j while tlit No. 3 from 18 ! U ( o 104"4 , rallying
I to 105 B-8. The decline was on the acceler
ated delivery of allotments of $1,000 and the
i Issue of notice of allotment to subscribers
for $4,000 amounts of new bonds.

Ill-Nllll Of II " .IllUo. "
A noise resembling the quick explosions of

explode , OIIK after another , with a loud
noleo.
Frngme'its of the balloons , which caught

llro and were burned off nnd his skin was
