The State of Trade.

NEW YoRK, July with the begin.
ming Of the new fiscal year We have
heavy disbursements and easier money,
better crop prospects, and continuance
Of larger trade for the season than has
been seen in any previous year. At the
same time 1t is to be admitted that there
e,stlls to be, within the past week or two,
little more than an ordinary hesitation or
slackening Of trade at the arrival OF mid
summer. The confidence in the future
as affected by Legislation, is rather less
stronger than it was fortnight ago.
Many apprehensions caused by the ex-
ports Of gold have been allayed by heavy
disbursements In dividends and interest,
said to be the largest ever made at this
season. Exclusive of the government
payments they are estimated at $74, ,0OO,-
0O6 against 48t, 900, 900 last year Foreign
advices and rates Of exchange do not ut
present indicate danger oi any serious
drain from abroad. The Interior money
markets are all freely supplied at usual

Butte Through Trains.

ANACONDA, July 5.--On the strength OF
information which 1t has received within
dozen hours from two eastern cities,
the Standard says that, without undue
delay, Butte will have one through train
day, east and west, over the line of the
Northern Pacific railroad. Until very
recently it was understood in the New
York office of the railroad company that
the Butte service had already been start
ed on this plan. That, however, was not
the case, the only time card ever arranged
for the accommodation of Butte being
the special run over the new short line,
an arrangement obviously so miserable
that the st. Paul Office hastily ordered it
abandoned.
Assurance was received yesterday from
the headquarters of the Northern Pacific
that the through service shall be arrang-
ed SO as to give daily to Butte one of the
full equipped through trains. The Stand
ards information from st. Paul is to the
effect that General Manager Mellen with
General superintendent Kimberly will
leave st. Paul tomorrow to visit Butte in
company with Assistant General Super
intendent Dickinson, on Monday. Al
soon as the details Of the service can be
arranged, the new time card will go into
effect, and it is known that, 80 far as trans
portation over the Montana Union is con-
cerned. II will be at the command of the
through train on few hours notice.
