closed l-löc below laut week. The situation in wool and woolen goods is very favorable to ellera. The strength in hides Is the keynote to the leather and shoe markets. Building material is active and lumber leads In aggressive strength. A feature In keeping with the advancing season is the higher range of farm produce. Eggs are higher and better Is advancing on larger consumption and reported manipulation by cold-storage interests. The shortage of fuel still exasperates the iron trade, which sees the foreign flood of iron and steel growing steadily, 'ine July Import Is probably not far from 100.000 tons. The use of large numbers of cars to earn' soft coal to the anthracite regions aggravates the shortage of coke in the Pittsburg district. But the same complaints come from Chicago and St. Louis. Kall and structural material are still the prominent features. Western mills will, however, only accept rail orders for delivery In the last quarter of 1903. Pittsburg reports 10.000 to 15.000 tons of foreign bessemer pig Iron coming In monthly to that district. German billets and foundry Iron are also coming in in increasing supply. German rail makers are reported to have made large sales to Southwestern roads. The trde in wire is improving, but tin plates are dull. Hardware is in excellent demand at all points, and, in fact, anything with iron in it finds ready sale. Among the other metals tin is weaker, but copper is stronger in tone than last year. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending Sept. 11 aggregate 5.444.142 bu, against 6.276.255 last week. 6.64A.8O0 In this week last year and 4.665.1W2 In 1200.

MILWACKEEE, Wis., Sept. 12. The Indianapolis leaders of the American Association swelled their percentage at the expense of the Brewers at Athletic Park this afternoon, taking two games by scores of 4 to 3 and 4 to 0. It was a cold, raw day, and barely 400 "fans" sat and shivered through the three hours and ten minutes of play, while the players capered around and flapped their arms to keep warm. It was so cold that it was almost ideal football weather, and overcoats and earmuffs and foot warmers were strictly In order. The first game was a pitchers' battle between Williams and Altrock, and It was not the fault of the local twirler that the home team lost. Williams had evidently requested an opportunity to even matters for the less of his game on Wednesday. Not only did Williams pitch ball, but he played it all the time. When he was not pitching he was at the tat, and it was his start in the third inning that resulted in the visitors making their three runs. He also had one putout and seven assists, in the making of which he furnished the feature work of the game. And, just to show what he could do when pushed, he carried two of the tallies of his team around the bases half the runs chalked up In their favor at the end of the game. The deciding run. however, was the result of Speer's muff of Hallman's throw in of H grlever's hit In the seventh inning. Killen never gave the locals a chance in the second game of the afternoon, and at the end of the eighth Inning the contest was called by Umpire Haskell on account of darkness. In the second inning the locals came the nearest to scoring. Hallman led off with a single. CUngman then hit a hot liner in Killen's direction, which the pitcher lust managed to touch and send to Fox, who succeeded in pulling it In for an out, and then he shot the ball to first, where Hallman was doubled, as the sprinter right fielder of the locals never had an Idea the ball could be tampered with in any such timely manner. Again In the fifth Hallman started a batting rally, or what should have been one, had the team been playing follow-your-leader, but after CUngman had repeated the trick played on Killen by Hallman, the other local men went out In one-two-three order. Kihm's fielding and batting was another feature of the shut-out contest. Scores: Milwaukee. AI Dungan, If 5 A. McRrlde. cf 4 Schiebeck, 2 4 Hallman. rf 3 CUngman, s 4 Runkle, 1 4 G.
