New YORK July 23.-Special telegrams to

fair reassortment trade is reported but sem
sible decline is noted at New Orleans, Dallas,
Burlington and Kansas City, with no signs of
early activity in merchandise lines at Pittsburg.
In the Southwest and West the drought is
largely responsible for the check to
business and at towns in portion of the region
indicated mercantile collections have become less
prompt. At others, notably Omaha, retail deal

reduced while awaiting the result of harvesting,

Missouri The New York stock market has
been dull but prices were main tanned. This has
been rather from an absence of trading than any
positive influences either way. A few stocks
advanced, owing to particular circumstances.
The total stock transactions were about equal to
those of last week. Bonds of all classes were
strong, and generally advanced on investment

special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 23-There is great deal
of speculation as to what the effect Of the new
extradition treaty with Canada will be in the
event of Its ratification, which seems to be only
question of time, and quite probably it will be
ratified within the next ten days. The opinion
of all those who have given the subject any at
tention is that the final result will be fewer de-
facations by officers in positions of trust in the
future, though there is an underlined suspicion
on the part of great many members that be-
tween this time and the date of the proclamation
of the President to put the treaty into effect the
number of American colonists in Canada will be
materially increased. There is no doubt that
there are hundreds of men in the country to-day
whose financial affairs would not bear close
scrutiny, and who contemplating departure
for Canada. or some other sanctuary away from
the minions Of the American law. who are only
deferred from leaving summarily in the hope
that some of their speculations may prove re-
munerative enough to cover their losses. 1t is
believed that these men are becoming alarned at
the nearness of the time when the crimes of
which they have been guilty, but which they
have thus far successfully covered up. will be
extraditabls offenses, and if this belief is well
founded a great many emigrants may be ex-
pected in Canada from the United States in the
near future. 1t is not thought here that the
Irish Americans will make any organized effort
to defeat the ratification of the treaty because of
the clause which provides for the extradtion of
dynamite rnurderers

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Although the House
has passed q resolution specifying July 2s as the
date cs adjournment. it by no means follows that
Conaress viii adjourn on that day The Senate
will in all probability report the resolution back
early next week with an amendment changing
the date to somewhere between the second and
eighth OF August. There is a disposition on the
part of members here to believe that the date
finally agreed upon win be somewhere about the
3D. The pleasant weather which Washington
has enjoyed for the past month has, no doubt,
had something to do with the length of the ses-
sion. The signal reports show that few cities Ia
the country have been blessed with such COM
Portable weather. and members who are usually
anxious to get away to the North have been
quite content to stay awhile longer in conse-
