THE REVIEW OF TRADE.
DUN Il co. SAY THE STEADY GAIN IN IN
DUSTRIES AND THE RISE IN SPEcu-
LATlvE MARKETS HAVE NOT
CEASED.
ALL GAINING WITH SAFETY.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review
of trade says: Neither the rise in
speculative markets nor the steady
gain in industries has ceased, and it
is wholesome that there are fewer
signs of hesitation in the productive
industries than in speculative prices.
Wage strikes grow more numerous
and cause some trouble, and retail
demand lags behind wholesale sales
and jobbing purchases behind pro-
duction in some branches, but through
many conflicting reports the fact
shines out that the industries are gain
ing not with rush and a whlrl, but
with safety.
1t is less clear that railroads are
increasing their earnings, or that the
production of cotton will be increased
by the advance of one and three
eighths cents in price, or that corner
ing short sellers of wheat will help to
market the large surplus. But revival
of activity in all these directions, if
possibly excessive in some respects
helps confidence to take the throne SO
long held by distrust Recovery is
not often mathematically quotable.
When the load of depression is lifted
and men find that better things have
come to stay, there must be many
contradictory changes.
np,ta n,,,,ksr Df ,,A,i.e !, I
vanced wages during the week, but
strikes to compel an advance, possible
for some but not for others, have
grown much more numerous. Some
shops are closing for want of orders,
but larger number are resuming
work. Prices of shoes and cotton
goods are rising. Wool and woolens
are lower Iron production, stimu.
lated because ore, coke and oil were
to be dearer, is retarded by shrinking
demand for products, for on the whole
new business is said to be smaller than
in February or March. The structural
demand for buildings throughout the
county was never larger. The frenzy
in oil has started large demand for
pipes, and sheets have slightly ad-
vanced. Rails are stagnant, though a
shade better at Chicago. Wire for
fencing, for rails and wire rods is SO
dull as to be scarcely quoted, and
bar, though lifted shade, meets no
increased demand. Bessemer pig is
lower, and sales of Southern pig in
Northern markets have been large at
twenty-five cents advance. Finished
products are nearly all at their lowest
prices. London bought about Sc, 900,
900 worth of stocks and bonds here
this week. But the coal roads again
failed to agree and the lowest prices
of the year prevail for that product.
The aggregate of all roads reporting
in April is but I6 per cent better than
last year and IS 4 per cent. less than
in 1898.
Failures for the week have been
23o in the United States, against I7o
last year, and thirty-seven in Canada,
against twenty-six last year.

Loss is ONLY $4,000.
State Normal Can be Repaired
for That Sum.
The Rear Wall Was Not Strong
Enough.
OTHER STATE NEWS.
N. K. & 7. Train Runs Through
Water -Four Feet Deep.

Capt John Seaton, of Atchison, and
Mike Heery, of Topeka, members of the
state board of public works, and State
Architect J. c. Holland met with the
board of regents at the Normal yesterday
evening to consider the matter of repair
ing the damages wrought by the wind
and rain of Sunday.
After thorough examination of the
building the mem bers of the board and
the architect united in the statement
that the necessary repairs, including
plastering in all the rooms below could
De made for less than $4,000
Capt. SeatOn. who is an experienced
builder, said 10 a reporter: 81 find that
the heavy timbers supporting the roof
are not damaged at all, and that the roof
can be replaced on them just as they
stand.
1T can be done in very short time
and the whole thing can be made
good as new within $4,000. While
would not like to say that the construc-
ton Of the building was faulty. notice
several little matters that could have
been remedied by the builders at tri-
ling cost The rear wall is not just as it
should be, and the architect viii be in
structed to recommend some alterations
in his report. With this exception it is
my opinion that the roof should be re-
placed just as it was"
Captain Seaton told the regents that
his board was ready and willing to rem
der every assistance in its power to have
the building speedily repaired
It was understood that the only course
open to them was to borrow the neces-
sary funds on individual notes.
1t is also certain that citizens of EN-
poria will be called upon to advance the
money, or at least part of it, To Mr..
Dodge, Governor Morrill, expressed a
willingness to join the people of Empo-
ria in advancing the funds, and Captain
Seaton said that he himself would be
willing to loan money that way.
The Normal school is running as usual
and the teachers and pupils seem to have
adjusted themselves to the unfortunate
conditions. 4 number of the rooms in
the new building were occupied by
classes, but all except the gymnasium
bore damaging marks of the storm. A
force of men was put to work clearing
away the debris piled up in different
places around the building.

there is nothing to encourage Investment
purchases, and if wheat is said to be
purchase on weak places the spot
was certainly weak enough today to take
on a little. The opportunities to buy
wheat on such declines have been num-
erous. but as yet no important dividends
have been declared on this theory.
Theorizing does not go in the kind of
markets we are experiencing All sorts
of predictions are now in order, some
say December will see 55c before another
ten days, and the guessing ranges
from that point down to 90
cents, 1t is not difficult tn
account for the decline today. As a
starter Minneapolis and Duluth reported
1908 cars in today compared with 57a
cars year ago same day. Bulls thought
they could offset this by something else
but the right sort of information was
long lines were dumped overheard. The
professional sellers had an easy
time of ii. Partridge was in the thick of
the fray and supplied all demands when
offerings would cease momentary. Lower
cables and a conspicuous absence of
buying orders did not help matters any,
although ST Louis reported good batch
of No 2 red winter wheat worked there
today for the mills. The decline, like

may be wise to commence buying wheat
cautiously.
Corn-In the corn the feeling is weak.
The May delivery has not broken much
but September and October slumped &c.
The cash market is still getting a pre-
MUM over September. Oats were weak
and shared fluctuations with corn
The receipts of corn were 31S cars,
and for tomorrow 800 cars are expected.

1RRIGATIoN PLANT FINISHED.
The State Station Near PIainviIIs Ready
For Experimenting.


PLAINvILLE, Sept 1.-THE state irri-
CATION station, just west of town, has at
last been completed, the s'puddIing,"
which was the last thing to do, having
been finished. This pudding was done
by first thoroughly soaking the bottom
of the pond and then tramping it with
horses to form a cement through which
the water will not penetrate. The pond
or reservoir is one hundred and twenty
five by eighty feet, is dug eighteen in
ches below the surface of the earth. and
the banks are four feet above the sur
face and lined all the way around on the
inside by layer of sod, which will him
der the washing of the en- bankment.
The fume through which the water
will pass from the reservoir to the ditch
is about the center OF the west end of
the pond. The reservoir is being filed
as rapidly as possible by a windmill,
capable of giving d twenty-inch stroke
with fve-inch cylinder, and throwing
one and one-half gallons of water at
stroke, or sixty gallons per minute. Mr..
e. Thomas, who supervised the work,
thought it would be impossible to pump
the well dry.
Crane & Co. of Kansas City, who had
the contract for the work, claim the cost
to have been about 500, or $3.50 more
than they received from the state.
Nothing can ba done with the plant to
demonstrate its utility till next spring.
