TREND OF TRADE.
Volume OF Business Not So Large as Usual.
Credits More Cautiously Given.

Volume OF Business Not So Large as Usual
Credits More Cautiously Given.
New YORK, June 19.-R. G.. Dun &
Coz weekly review Of trade will say:
While crop reports continue remarkably
favorable, the volume OF business at
present transacted is not as large as it
has been in other years az this time.
There is some hesitation, owing to re-
cent failures, particularly in Philadel-
phia. Credits have been more cautions
ly given in the WOODEN and boot and
shoe trade, and this has lessened the
volume of transactions.
At Philadelphia the wool trade Is
waiting; holders asking more than buy
ers wish to give. Cleveland reports
more demand for pig iron. At Cincin-
natl trade is picking up, and at Detroit
is increased in some lines. Chicago
notes wool receipts double that of last
year, with an increase Of one-half in
wheat and dressed beef. ST. Louis
notes some change by frequent rains.
Trade is fairly active with collections
good In the South.
1t is another hopeful indication that
the demand for iron and steel improves.
For structural iron there is rush OF
orders, though bar iron is only faiy ac-
tive. but plates are in good demand.
The stagnation produced in rails by the
combination to hold up prices is shown
by the official report that sales to June
1st. this year, were but 725,376 tons,
against Lose, 600 to same date last year,
and deliveries but $4,000 tons, against
500, 900 last year.
The wool market at New York shows
improvement and a larger demand by
manufacturers. Coal very dull; copper
and lead unchanged, and tin shade
lower. Speculations In breadstutfs has
been more active, and wheat is about l
cent higher in spite of the prospect that
the yield will be the largest ever known.
Corn is weak and lower; oats AZ cents
lower. Coffee is quarter lower; oil
Ike lower, but pork products u shade
stronger.
The business failures for the past
seven days number 253, compared with
PA last week, and 1919 same week last
year.

JOHNSTOwN's MENACE.
Measures Reing Taken to Prevent Re-
currence of Floods.

JOuNSTOwN, PA, June 19.-For sew
eral months j. j. Cross, a New York
civil engineer, has been making a care
ful survey OF the city Of Johnstown,
the Concmaugh and Stony Creek rivers
and all its tributaries in order to devise
means to prevent the recurrence of
another food and to avoid regular in
undations of the city.
His report was presented at a mass
meeting Of citiZenS tonight, officials of
the Cambria Iron Company and all lead
ing business men being present. This
report recommends the expenditure Of
5000, 900 in order to make life and prop
erty safe in the city Of JohnStown.
The johnson Lumber Company and
log boom was q menace to the city, and
should be rebuilt or removed. The
greatest point of danger lies in
the stone bridge famous in the
food, which, the report stated, did not
have sufficient water way to carry off
ordinary freshets, and backed spring
floods into the town. The bridge should
either be removed or new arches opened
and the channel dredged. The report
also recommended the removal of de-
posits below the bridge dumped in the
river by the Cambria Iron Company.
Bonds will be sold TO raise the necessary
funds and a competent engineer placed
in charge Of the work.

STRUCK a SNAG.
The brotherhood and Railway Tele-
graphers Cannot Amaigamate.

Sr. LOUIS, Mo-, June 19.-The Grand
Division of the Order of Railway Tele-
grapherS has decided TO purchase out
right the organ Of the Order, the Rdil-
ray TctegrGpher, published semi
monthly. II is now stated that the
Railway TelegrapherS and the Brother
hood struck q snag in their negotiations
towards coming together. The hitch
in the proceedings, it is said, is caused
by clause in the organic law of the
railway people, which provides that
an operator must have been
telegraphing three years before
ne can become member. The
Brotherhood people are sticking out for
one year qualification, that IS, an
operator must have been in railway en-
ployment for one year only. They say
that the three year limit would bar out
fully 30 per cent. OF the commercial
operators. Another conference be-
tween the two associations will be held
to-day, but according TO some OF the
delegates on both sides, it is very doubt
ful that an amicable settlement can be
reached unless the order of Telegraph
erS comedies the point of one year quail
tication.
The following officers have been
elected for the ensuing year: A. ID.
ThurSton, Vinton, Iowa, Grand Chief
Teicgrapher; S. O. Fox, Vinton, Iowa,
Grand Secretary; Hon. G. d. Ramsey,
East St. Louis, Assistant Grand Chief
Telegrapher.
The Judiciary Committee of the
Order of Railway Telegraph, and NJ.
d. Shaw and j. d. SchwerZgen, grand
officers Of Brotherhood Of 1elegraphers,
came together at 10 o'clock this morn
ing and it took only short time for
them to reach q conclusion as to the
question of amalgamating the two or
ganizations. The Judiciary Committee
of the former re ported that the Grand
Division had refused TO reduce the time
of the eligibility clause Of the organic
law, whereupon MesSrS. Shaw ard
Schwerzgen called all negotiations of.
1t is said an amicable agreement was
reached whereby the two orders will
proceed and organize the tclegrapherS
of the United States, not encroaching
on the others territory; that is,
the Brotherhood will take in CONNER
cial operators and railroad telegraphers
not members Of the o. r. T., while o.
r. Y. will receive only railroad opera
tor. The O. Z. T. will apply for mem-
berShip to the Federation of Railway
employees, but it is said the assurance
has been given the Brotherhood people
by members of the council that neither
organization will be admitted until
amalgamation has been reached.

A FoUR-CoRNERED DUEL
In Which All the Participants Were
Killed.

New YORK, June 19.-The steamship
South Portland, of the Vessels Line,
arrived from Jamacia ports this after
noon On the afternoon OF June IL the
Portland touched at Port Marie. Mate
Lowell was sent on shore to get the
mails. On his way TO the poStoi1ice he
came across a crowd OF blacks on the
village green. There must have been
five hundred Of them and when Mr..
Lowell inquired what the row was
about, they informed him that q
battle royal was just about to begin.
Four coolies, all natives Of the town,
had become involved in controversy,
and had decided to fight to the death.rs
In the centre Of the green an enclo-
sure had been roped off, and inside of 1t,
at each corner, stood one Of the four
contestants. They were stripped to the
waist, and each man graSped in his
right hand q knife with blade seven
inches long. For q moment the men
stood glaring ut each other, then
the word was given and the
fight began. 1t was q case Of every
man for himself with vengeance.
Mate Lowell says that without any eX
ception it was the most fearful sight ne
ever witnessed. In five minutes It was
all over.
When the police arrived upon the
scene three bodies hacked almost be-
yond recognition lay inside the ropes.
The fourth man was so crazed by his
wounds that before the police could lay
hands on him he drove his own knife
through his heart.

willeq to his wife, Carmelite Gorcogno.

tion on behalf OF the State OF Louis
lana, which claims to be the sole heir
OF widow Bertram Saloy, and praying

traitors OF the estate and the parties
who have been recently recognized by
this court as heirs, enjOining each of
I. hem from in any manner parting with,
diSpoSing OF, cOncealing, paying out, OF
appoItioning any Of the property of the
succession.

sHtiOuni StatcMsnJ.
LONDON, June l9.-The widow Of
Capt. Burton writes to the Post that she
intends, as far as possible, to publish
all of her husbands manuscripts in ac-
c0rdance with his desires, with the ex-
ception OF his "Magnum Opus"-upon
which he worked until the day of his
DEATH translation from the Arabic OF
the "Scented Garden"
Capt Burton, when dying, told his
wife that this wonld realize an annuity
for her, and he would never write more
on the subject, but would devote HIM
self TO his autobiography; that it was
baby tale compared with his "Arabian
Nights" and was likely to make q row
in England. After his death she read
the work, and was offered 46, 600 for it.
After days or seli-torturc, trying TO de-
eide how to act In the difficult situation,
She burned the manuscript, sorrowfully
bnt reverentiy.
She adds: Not over GO, 900, 900 would
l have risked its publication. II any
Judge me, for this act, unworthy OF
their friendship, ] must bear it In
silence. ! shall retire from the world,
and if / live ! sha! write the biography
OF my husband. II will be q big work,
and will occupy two or three years"
Incidentally she mentions her hus-
bands desire that she should never
read arabian Nights" but she under
took the financial management OF the
publication, which realized ZIG, 900, OF
which Gl0, 600 was profit, instead OF
the $500 he wanted to sell 1t for, being
accustomed to small prices.
