WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
Improvement Is Noted in Almost Every
Branch Of Business.

improvement Is Noted in Almost Every
Branch of Business.
NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-R. G.. Dun &
Co. weekly review of trade says: Real
improvement is seen in almost every de-
partment of business. With each week
it becomes more certain that the crops
of the year will be larger, and of late the
news from abroad has clearly indicated
larger foreign demand, while such
speculation as might arrest the outward
movement of grain and provisions has
thus far been prevented. The effect of
heavy bond purchases by the treasury
has been great in the stock market, and
is now felt in much better demand for
commercial paper, while the prevailing
opinion in the street is that
All Danger of Money strinsency
is over for the year. Nor can good rea-
son be given for mistrusting this opinion
unless speculation is pursued st; far as to
cause mischief. The reports from other
cities ars unusually satisfactory, indi-
eating at every :;oint either improve
Ment or continuance of previous activity
where the expansion Of trade has been
great.
North west Resumes Booming.
At Chicago August live stock receipts
were larger than for any o:;;-- month
and grain receipts increased, though, re-
ceipts OF provisions fell off. Sales and
collections are UP to the ave:a:se, and
the supply of money is ample for the de-
nand, though there is Il slight ten ency
to hold OFT for better rates. At Omaha
and st. Paul heavy business continues,
and at Kansas City there is an increase,
with money at all these points in fair
supply and collections fair The demand
is brisk at Milwaukee, but the supply

Couldn't Hoist Wheat
The attempt to hoist wheat on extrav-
agant statements of the European def
cheney and demand has not been a sue
cess, and the price has declined So
cents for the week with sales of ONLY
100000 bushels. That Europe will
want more wheat than it did last year is
obvious, but this country has a great
deal more to sell. Corn also fell a cent
with sales Of 100000 bushels and the
continued exports reaching 100000
bushels for four weeks of August. have
an important bearing on the probable
price Of wheat. Oats were also shade
lower, and Oil declined Is cents, with
small transactions. Pork has been steady
and hogs higher. The distribution of
groceries is generally liberal, and in dry
goods the jobbing trade has been very
large, with print cloths selling below

Disastrous for the Lynchers.

WICHITA, Kan, Sept. 9.-As the sheriff
of Butler county, ct Eldorado, who was
taking Robert Snyder, who about one
month ago murdered his wife and
mother-in-law, to the court house for a
preliminary hearing, a mob formed and
made rush for the prisoner, with the
intention of lynching him. A number
of deputies were with the sheriff and
pitched battle ensued, which resulted
disastrously for the lynchers. No one
was killed, but Snyder was quite severely
injured, being struck in the shoulder
with bullet and four of the mob were
injured, two of them perhaps fatally.

German-American holiday which it is

THE OLD BOATS MUST GO.

Two United States War Vessels That
Can't Be Repaired for go Per Cent OF
Their Cost.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Y.-The United
States navy is to lose two of its vessels.
Reports from the boards appointed to
inspect the Quinnebaug and the Juniata
have been received at the navy depart
ment, and they state that the vessels
cannot be repaired for active service
within the limits of 20 per cent Of their
cost, as prescribed by law. They will
be condemned and advertisements for
their sale published. The Juniata was
the first vessel built for the United
States navy during the war. She has
an excellent record, and is now lying at
Portsmouth, N. II. The Quinnebaug
was built 12 years ago, and sent, imme-
diately after completion, to the Euro
pean station, where she remained in
constant service without returning to
the United States until few months
ago. During her European commission
she was not repaired to any extent and
consequently she returned in badly
damaged condition. She is now at New
York.
Regarding the Texas.
It is rumored that the long controversy
between naval constructors over the de-
sign of the battleship Texas is about
ended, and that Secretary Tracy will
soon announce that the design of the
vessel is defective and put stop to fur
ther work on her. This will be COM
plete victory far naval constructors Will
son and Hichborn, of the bureau of con-
struction and repair, who have all along
contended that the Texas will not carry
the weights intended for her and keep
her armor belt above the water line, if
constructed according to the original
design.
The Petrels Power.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 0.-The report of
the board appointed to make test of
the gunboat Petrol has been received by
Secretary Tracy, and bears out the pre-
dictions generally made that the vessel
did not develop the amount of horse
power required by the contract. An
average horse power of 1,044.79 was
maintained during the trip, 1921 horse
power less than that required by the
specifications. This deficit will cost the
contractors, the Columbia Iron Works,
of Baltimore, penalty of S5,521.

HOPE.

Everything is in readiness now for the
starting up again of the Hope mill.
Many of the old employees have resumed
their stations. John Adams will assume
tie foremanship of the mill, which posit-
ion was made vacant by the death of F..
o. Llnforth. who was succeeded by Rob
ert Beveridge until the mill closed
down. Mr.. Beveridge is now in South
America, in the employ of Fraser &
Chalmers.
The ore in the Hope mines has been
getting richer and more extensive of late,
and it is claimed by those who ought to
know that the large body they have re-
Gently struck is richer than anything
ever before discovered in the mine. In
the Porter lode, winze No. 2, the ore
body is rich, and assays 100 ounces per
ton, silver. The drift south is about
completed and all work now being done
is entirely satisfactory.
Before the close of another week we
may again welcome the "Hope whistle" !"
Some rich ore has also recently been
encountered at the 5O-foot line west in
the Silver Chief, one OF the Hope proper
ties.

OUR MINING EDTOR'S WEEKLY
REPORT.
Rich Strike In the MarOny Tunnel
Starting Preparations at the
Hope Mill-The Granite Output
Other Mining Notes.
THE MARONY TUNNEL,

AA6 AhAsO4NA 4OINA>GAIs
The report of strike in the Marony
tunnel last Thursday was considered by
many to be what many other reported
strikes have proven-nothing but talk.
Last Saturday our mining editor visited
the tunnel and found George Hird, the
lessee, at work, and somewhat excited
When asked about the strike, he replied
that it was not without foundation,
which he proceeded to prove. About 40
feet from the mouth of the lower tunnel
there is another tunnel running west,
which Mr.. Hird commenced running
over year ago, and after going in about
16 feet gave up the work and went to
California, where he remained until July,
when he returned and took a new lease
on the ground for one year, feeling con-
fdent that the ore body lay in the direc-
ton he had started the tunnel. He
again continued it and expected to strike
the vein at about Is feet from the main
crosscut tunnel. He had only gone IN
25 feet, however, when vein of ore came
in sight, ana although small at first 1t
continued to expand until it is now over
two feet wide. The ore is mostly galena
and the hands0mest ever seen in the
camp, showing an abundance of peacock
colors. By running in on this tunnel
they gain SIX inches in depth to every
foot. Mr.. Hird intends putting on night
and day shifts at once.
Work was commenced on the Marony
tunnel about four years ago by Messrs.
Porter, Hird, Mcbride, Duggan, Pew and
McKenna, who run the crosscut tunnel
in $50 feet before striking the upper
ledge, and it then not proving satisfac-
tory they abandoned the work, and since
that time the property has been worked
by various parties. What is known as
the upper tunnel has been run 400 feet,
and from this good deal of ore has been
taken out and shipped.
