UNCERTAINTY STILL PREVAILS.
The Moderate Improvement in Trade
Noticed n Week Ago Does Not Seem to
Continue.

The Moderate Improvement in Trade
Noticed n Week Ago Does Not Seem to
Continue.
New York. June l6.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade will say. The
moderate improvement iii trade noticed
week ago does not yet seem to be more
than the slight reaction which occasionally
breaks period of uncertainty and COM
paratively inactivity. The signs of last
ing improvement in trade do not vet ap-
pear. Uncertainty still prevails, and buy
ers are conservative. There is uncertainty
about the tariff, and its effect upon many
brances of manufacture; about the crops
and the foreign demand for exportable pro-
ducts; about transportation rates in the
near future and about financial prospects
Crop prospects have not changed for the
worse. but the extent Of loss in
winter wheat is more definitely realized
while the prospect as to spring wheat
and other crops is necessarily vague.
With favorable weather the general results
would probably be fair, and in some quar-
tiers decidedly hopeful feeling begins to
prevail. A want of confidence in the near
future is the prevailing tone in all the mar
kets. This cannot be attributed to finan-
cial Influence, for money is over abundant
and quoted at per cent here, notwith-
standing the renewal of gold exports.
There is no report of stringency or close
ness anywhere, but complaints of slow col
lections do not diminish. The volume of
trade of interior cities is very good at
Omaha and Minneapolis, but generally
below that of last year. Rail shipments
from Chicago eastward of grain, -four and
provisions have fallen to Ii, 266 tons in a
week, against $1,000 few weeks ago, but
largely because of lake competition. The
exports of principal products in May were
larger in value by l5 per cent. than in the
same month of 1887, but because of the
beavp cotton shipment.
The exports from New York for the past
two weeks show a decrease of Is per cent,
with only slight decrease in imports The
iron trade manifests no improvement,
though sales of 39,0 go tons of steel rails are
reported for $50 at the MILL and the allot-
ment is said to be disregarded by some
Eastern makers. In the dry goods business
there is a lack of activity, and yet in cot
ton goods more confident feeling Wool
ems are still dull with very good transac-
tions for mems goods, and wool is quoted
lower at Chicago. The spring trade in
wholesale clothing does not appear to have
been very satisfactory Failures during
the last seven days for the United States
were 209, for Canada %; total, 232. For
the corresponding week last year, 1913 in
the United States and 2Oin Canada.

AFTER THIRTY YEARS.
A Romantic Wedding Which is Just
Now In Print.

ATLANTA, Ga, June l6.--John Grant q
native of Ireland, who died in Greenyille,
S. c., aged seyenty-tiree, last week, became
engaged to his wife when they were young
at their old home in County Antrim. He
was Catholic and she Presbyterian, and
the parents of the Young girl objected to
the match. She was sent to America and
young Grant followed her here When she
was recalled to England her lover followed
her. After q while she was again sent TO
this country and Grant made an appoint
ment to meet her in Liverpool where they
were to be married. Owing to some mis-
understanding they did not meet and the
disappointed lover enlisted in the British
army.
He served eighteen years in India during
the SepOy mutiny. He was at the storm
ing of Delhi, and reached Cawnpore with
his regiment a short time after the massacre
of the English garrison at that place. On
his return to- England he served eight
years longer in the army, making twenty
six years in all lie then came to America
in search of the woman he had sworn to
marry so many years ago. Landing in New
York he was robbed Of all his niony, and
in his extremity he volunteered in the
army being formed to put down TIE rebel
lion. He was sent West and served through
the war, and at its close came TO Greenville,
s. c., where he found his betrothed, and
they were married, he being more than
fifty years old.

CHICAGO, June 16.-The advance Repub-
lican contingent assumed respectable pro-
portions yesterday. At least thousand
new arrivals were added to its ranks. OF
these, however, a very small proportion
were delegates. The large majority were
personal friends and adherents of favorite
sons, with but one mission or ambition,
that of whooping it up for the man of their
choice. 1t was essentially Blaine day.
The spirit of the plumed Knight seemed to
be in the air. J. NJ. Haynes. the National
Committeeman from Maine, who was
around bright and early, gave it out with
out any qualification that if the man from
Maine received the unanimous vote of the
convention, he would be persuaded to run.
The crowds were in Blaine mood and
would talk Blaine and nothing else.
The friends of Governor Alger were in
more confident mood than ever. The
grand Army influence they claimed was
making itself felt to an unexpected extent
in his behalf, and thete were significant
whispers about favorable dispatches from
delegations en- route.
At the Sherman headquarters consider
able activity was displayed, and denial
was given TO statement that found con-
siderable currency TO the effect that the
Pennsylvania delegation had broken loose
the Cameron-Quay sway, and could no
longer be looked upon as an available asset
for the Ohio Senator.
Very little enthuiasm was manifested at
the Allison rooms, while at the Rusk head
quarters only a corporal's guard held the
fort Honest old Jerry" Greshman's boom
is apparently growing beautifully less Very
little was heard of it yesterday, and there
was sensible diminution of callers at the
quarters of his supporters. Every body is
now waiting for the coming Of the New
York delegation. 1t is conceded that the
~ votes from that region will be potent
factor, even if it is not the debating power.
Depew, of course, is the first choice
of the delegation, but it is general
ly admitted on all sides that this
is about all the strength that he can COM
mand, and that the vote for him will be
purely complimentary. In a nutshell the
situation is free race and an open field,
no favorites, and with all the hackers at
sea. The one dark horse is the man from
Maine, and from present indications he is
certain to be brought up on the track just
as soon as it is found that none of the other
entries have strength enough to pass in
under the wire.
