dent--Senator Cullom Thinks Hill

CHICAGO, Feb. Ex-senator Cullom. who
has m ncipient presidential boom himself,

dental possibility.
There was time" Mr. Cullom said to-
day, when every one in Washington con-
ceded that Hill would overcome Cleveland,
but that day is past. Hills peculiar methods.

early convention in the State OF New ork

cOmplish his immediate purpose, winch is to
obtain control of all the State delegates 10

IMPROVEMENT IN Trade.
Dun g. Co.'s Report Encouraging Des-
p;te the Hot weather

p'te the Hot Weather.
New NoRK, June 11.-R. G.. Dun 81 Co. S
weekly review OF trade snys: Hot weather
and hot politics have affected business at
many points, but there is, nevertheless,
Improvement both in actual trade and in
prospects. At the East the demand for
manufactured products is large for the sea
son, and the settlement of many labor con
troversies helps, especially in building
trades. Political movements have much
encouraged conservative men with regard
to the montary future.
Trade is fairly active at Boston, with
large sales of print cloths and reduction in
bleached shirtings, while wooens are sea-
sonably quiet and the shoe trade excellent,
though orders are temporarily checked by
Western floods. Leather is very firm and
another advance in sole is expected. Rub
Der shoes are steady with orders for weeks
ahead, rubber is fym and active and sales
Of wool are ,, 500, 600 pounds, with encour-
aging prospects.
The great manufacturers are doing well
for the season, shipments of shoes are ex-
ceeding last years by four per cent. Deal
ers in hides propose an agreement, but cat
tie receipts at Chicago for the year show an
increase of 10. per cent. Cotton spinners
are taking more cotton than u year ago,
and unsold stocks of goods are comparative
ly small. Exports of products continue
heavy, for hall OF June 23I per cent largers
from Now York than lrst year, with Il mod
crate increase in imports. Money is every
where abundant and unusually cheap and
complaints of collections fewer than usual.
The failures during the last seven days,
as reported to r. G. Dun 4 Co., and T..
Russell a Co. number for the Init al
States 1913. For the corresponding week of
last year the figures represent 22l failures
in the United States.

BosTON, June lJ.Another week of very
favorable weather in most sections of New

few exceptions to this are the slow growth

districts of New Hampshire, and the poor
prospect for hay in the same sections.
Potatoes are reported to be doing well in
all sections, although in tho highland sec
tons Of New Hampshire and Vermont they
are not all planted yet. In the south they
are in blossom, and have been hoel once,
Excepting the few exceptions mentioned
above, good reports come from all sections
of the condition of corn. The warm
weather following the heavy rainfall of a
few weeks ago is pushing it along rapidly.
Cut-worms are damaging the crop in some
places. strawberry picking has been begun
in the southern States, and large crop is
being harvested. Farther north the wild
strawberry Is in blossom, and a good crop
is promised. Bluoberres, whortloberries,
