NEW Yonx, August ar g. Dun 4 CoIb
Weekly Review of Trade says:
In every respect the business outlook dis
tinc4ly improves. The heavy sales of American
stocks BY foreign holders continue, and drew
large amounts of gold from the country, in
dicating the foreign distrust of American
finances. It is within tho mark to say that
the volume of trade in July, a.. indicated by
the clearing house exchanges. Is fully Is per
cent larger than last year and greater than
in any previous year. in spite of the decline
OF Per cent. in prices since Jear ago.
Imports arc enormous, exceeding last years
by over - per cent. the past month, which ID
proof of the great activity in domestic manu-
features and consumption.
Pig iron is on the whole no weaker, though
B4semer has sold at Pittsburg for $3.50.
and southern sales at Chicago have depressed
gray forge to $12, equal to s.. Is a Birming-
ham. The demand for bar is more active
and plate, sheet and structural mills are
crowded with orders.
Sales of wool increased largely and for the
year at the three chief points are La, 00O, 600
pounds, against Las, 100000 last year to date.
The cotton mills are sold ahead four to eight
weeks and print cloths strong at 81 cents.
Speculation made higher price, far bread
stuffs and cent for wheat, in spite of the
receipts at the west exceeding million bush
els per day, with exports of 800, 600 bushels
in three days. Corn has been advanced
nearly cents on small sales and oats cents
on western reports favoring shorter esti-
mates. Cotton declined e on sales, $50, 900
for the week, the receipts being moro favor
able. Coffee is 4 stronger.

Canadian Canal Controversy.
WASHINGTON, d. c., August 6.-Government
officials here are much amused at some of
the statements telegraphed from Canada as
to what the government of that country Will
do in case the president carries out the act
recently passed by congress providing for
the imposition of tolls on Canadian vessels
passing through the st. Mary's canal until
such time as the Canadian government shall
remove the discriminatory tolls imposed on
American vessels passing through the Wei
land canal There is not the least doubt
concerning the presidents intention to en-
force the act of congress on this subject.
Just as soon as proper arrangements can be
ton will be issued.
A telegram from Ottawa expresses the
alleged surprise of the Canadian officials be-
cause our government has not accepted the
last offer of the Canadian government to
settle the case. That offer was In the nature
of adding insult to injury. 1t proposed that
our government should open the Erie canal,
owned and controlled by the state of New
York, to Canadian vessels, whereupon the
Dominion government would agree to full
fill the treaty which it has 80 long disre-
garded.
The question of discrimination in viola
ton of treaty rights in canal tolls is not a
new one. It has been matter of complaint
for years. and bill to authorize retaliation
was introduced in the Forty ninth congress.
AS to the Canadian threats against the COM
merce of this country, it only awakens
amusement here. Under the act of 1887 the
president is now authorized to retaliate by
the prohibition of the right to enter this
country of any of the products of Canada.
The treasury department can at any time
make such regulations regarding the bond
ing privilege as would bankrupt the Cana
dian Pacific and other roads of that country.
But there is no inte ntion on the part of the
government to go any farther in this matter
than is necessary to meet the particular
cause of complaint. Should Canada add
another otfense to the numerous ones al
ready existing, the administration would
certainly make use of some of the powers
lodged with it by the law, and the Canadian
government would soon be brought to terms.
But, as the Canadians have already adj
mitted that they were wrong in the present
case, and their commissioners promised
redress, it is not thought by our government
that they will do otherwise than take the
right course and abolish the discrimination
in the tolls on the Welland canal.
IT the Canadian government, however, has
any idea that President Harrison does not
intend to enforce the existing law it will very
soon be disabused of that opinion.

said that it had been decided to bring suits
against Prick, Secretary Lovejoy and Super
intendent Potter at once for conspiracy. 1t
has not yet been decided whether to make
the informations before an alderman at
Plttsourg or Homestead. The charges are
founded upon the Introduction of Pinker-
tons which precipitated the riot.

WEATHER-CRoP BULLETIN.

OF the Kansas Weather Service, Is
sued In Cooperation With the
Kansas State Board OF Agriculture,
for the Week Ending August I .,
1892.
A deficiency occurs in the Republican and
Blue valleys and in the southeastern and ex-
IRENE eastern counties, being the greatest in
Cherokee and Labette. There is also a great
deficiency in Ford, Gray, Garfield and
Hodgeman, and In the central southern coun-
ties. Elsewhere it is generally above the
normal with the greatest excuses occurring
in Cove, where the total FAIL amounted to
Lyon, where it amounted to 2.30 inches.
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE.
= During III, fore part of the week the tenn
perature was excessive over the whole state
but on the 18th a cool wave occurred and the
week it has been below normal. As result
the temperature for the week has been about
the normal over the greater part of the state,
being slightly in excess in the western and
south central counties. There has been an
average amount of sunshine.
RESULTS.
The general effects of the past weeks
weather have been very satisfactory. The
narVesI Is competed In ali DuG the northwest
crn counties; tame grasses are largely cut,
and the cutting of prairie hay Is about to
begin.
The yield of oats is better than anticipated
at harvest, ranging from twenty to forty
bushels.
The hot weather the fore part of the week
was very trying to the corn in some localities.
but the rains of the latter part afforded
timely relief and gave the crop new impe-
tus. Some fields are in the roasting ear in
the southern and central counties, and in the
north it is tasseling.
Flax is being threshed in some localities,
yielding from eight to ten bushels per acre.

lowing reasons: First, because he is q
man. DIR. David Livingston In speak
ing of the status Of the negroes among
the nations of the earth says, 1--WE have
seen nothing to justify the notion that
they they are of q different breed OF
species from the most civilized. The
African is man with every attribute
OF the human kind. Our own ancestors
were in no more hopeful condition a few
centuries ago than the colored man.
Second, he has some peculiarities as a
race and because of his environments
that are in his favor. Again, he is
productive citizen, and the South could
not exist without him. In the fact of
citizenship he has great stimulus. He
is witty and eloquent and he is
IN CLOSE PROXIMITY
to the highest civilization of the ages.
By actual achievement be has demon
strated his capacity for brain and hand
culture. They have published 250
journals, have had IA Representatives
and 2 Senators in Congress, . acting
210 graduates in theology, PA
III law, ESS III meulClnt, 1O,OOO sCuOOl
teachers, and 1,213,093 pupils in public
schools. 1lliteracy is decreasing more
rapidly among them in tpe South than
among the whites all oter the Union.
There is no question about the capacity
of the colored people for learning. The
men Of the South themselves are &C.
knowleging it. But WILL the white
man accord the educated and
moral negro his rights. l
am aware that the position l
take here will be rediculed, notwith-
standing unhesitatingly af-
firm that he will be ac-
corded his rights when he is really
fitted for them. | base this conclusion
upon the following reasons: First, the
essential fairness of human nature; Sec
ond, the change of sentiment already
manifest in the South; third, the
churches which are doing much to up
build the race. The pastor closed his
remarks by saying that We must rein
force our educational work from the
North.
