DAKoTGs leading towns are much ex- cited now over the capital question. It appears the Legislature empowered a commission with authority to attend to the wants of the Territory in this re- gard, and the commission is now being chased all over the country, by the different aspirsnts for the capital. One town which has given up all hopes of securing the prize, started their sheriff out to arrest the commission, and it now looks as though they will have to select a site outside of the Territory.

THE WEEKS TRADE.
Distinct Improvement In the o.
mand for Staples.
EFFECT OF THE OPERATORS STRIKE
The Early Fall Trade for Necessities A.
ready Opened in the Eastern Cities
Iron Firm and Wheat
Higher.

NEw YoRk, July Especial kilograms
to Bradstreets' last week contain evidence
Of distinct improvement in general trade,
more particularly noticeable at the East.
While prices have not experienced i'm
provenent, the demand for leading com.
increase. Commercial travellers have start
ed out and Fall buyers are appearing in
mercantile circles at Boston, New York
and Philadelphia.
The excess Of purchases has been chiefly
noticeable in dry goods, wool, leather and
iron. The industrial disturbance has cul-
minated this week in the strike of about
three-fourths of the telegraph operators.
The companies have succeeded in replacing
only q small portion OF those who struck.
At New York the volume of business has
been restricted, owing to the inability OF
the telegraph companies to forward the
bulk Of private commercial dispatches.
Commercial and financial quotations have,
however, been forwarded with a moderate
degree of despatch.
The Force OF the Strike Broken.
Local telegraphing and other dispatches
have been more or less obstructed. 1t must
be noted, however, that no such disturb
ance in business circles has resulted from
the telegraphers strike IS was anticipated.
The cigarmakers' lookout in New York
appears to be the outcome OF an iaterfer.
enCe on the part of rival trades unions
with shop regulations.
Iron
contiEues firm, and the best grades, such
as Grand. Allentown and Thomas foundry
irons, are held at t23, or 81 above the NOM
iual rate. Coal continues in fair demand,
but not at full circular prices.
Petroleum
advanced four cents Friday, after an al
most steady decline during the preceding
portion Of the week. Wheat has advanced
three cents during the week under the in.
Huence of bad weather, tirmer market
abroad and active bull manipulation at
home. Corn has oeen .itmer, but has ex.
perienCed less change in price. The weather
las been reported rs unfavorable 10 the
growing corn crop. and several lots Of the
cereal in Eastern elevators have been
posted as damsged by the heat.
Provisions
have advanced somewhat. owing for the
most part to manipulation, although sew.
eral sales at Chicago and a few export or.
ders influenced figures somewhat. Lard
saw a gain OF one.half cent per pound, and
spot mess pork an advance OF twenty. tive
cents per barrel. Purchases OF new wool
have been noticeably large by several New
England mills in Ohio markets. Ocean
freights are iirmer and higher for grain.
