An are lamp hung over the water to assist the watchers who were to stay by the Fulton nil night. At low water the tower was awash, but the Bea broke over It so that there was no possibility of Its being opened for ventilation. The wind Increased to a gale, and the tide soon rose In the bnsln, so tnat all of the Fulton was covered by alx feet of water till she appeared nt the end of the test.

Not an Idle Wheel in Mill or Factory While All Labor Is Well Employed. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review says: "Never before In the history of the United States was there such great reason for a day of National Thanksgiving. This country has made unprecedented strides toward a position of international supromacy, not only in commerce, but also In finance. To a marked degree busi ness enterprises have proved success ful. An Idle wheel in mills or fac tories is the exception, while labor Is so well employed at high wages that consumptive demands sustain market values of all staple commodities. Transporting facilities have been un able to keep pace with the nation's requirements, many complaining of tardy deliveries which alone act as a brake on commercial progress. By closing lake navigation, lower tem perature will relieve the railway sit uation, thousands of cars being re stored to Inland traffic. This same factor of seasonable weather stimu lates retail dealings, and prompt col lections swell bank exchanges. Care ful search discloses few unfavorable factors In the iron and steel situation. Probably the least satisfactory- con ditions are found at plate mills, which report an uneven distribution of or ders. A few large concerns appear to secure the bulk of new business, but heavy orders for cars will largely expand the buying, while the new combination will put this class of mills on a stronger basis. In rails there is no apparent limit to the or ders placed, though some mills are unable to guarantee delivery within a year. One Pittsburg report places the year's output of structural mater ial at 600,000 tons. After six months of more or less interruption all ma chine shops and kindred plants at San Francisco have fully resumed, and It is certain that the greatest force on record is now engaged In the various departments of iron and steel making. Raw material at the South has advanced, but at Central points pig Iron Is steady, though rapidly ab sorbed. Sole leather Is remarkably well sustained with stocks scarce, and upper leather is also firm, although in better supply. Wheat holds at about S cents above lest year's prices, de spite the marked difference in size of crops. Receipts tor the week were 7.481.529 bushels as against 4.728,100 a year ago. while the export movement Is equally gratifying, especially from ports on the Pacific. Total ship ments from the United States (or the week were 5,040,417 bushels against 2.606.776 last year.
