JUST ACROSS THE BORDER
The Mexican Officials Release the
Seized Cattle
an Illinois Lady Tourist at Phenix.
More About the Cattle

Yuma, Ariz., Feb 20.-The glad news
came to the American cattlemen last
Thursday that the stock which had been
seized by the Mexican officials had all
been ordered released, says the Yuma
Times. Colonel Juan Fenohcio, Chief of
Customs at Ensenada, came here Satur-
day evening to see that his order was
carried out. Baker and Hanlon had pre-
ylously been notified that they were free
to gather up their stock at any time.
The owners are given until the first of
April to round up their cattle, but owing
to the bad condition of the river bottoms,
caused by the recent high water, longer
time will be required. Inspector Wolfe of
the Mexican Customs Service says it will
take at least six months to recover all the
stock. Up to last Monday Baker and Han
lon Ions men had succeeded i'll getting about
200 head of their own and Joe Carter's
stock. The cattle are in fair condition,
put the horses have been ridden nearly to
death by the Mexicans They also butch
cred about thirty head of cattle OF their
own use, besides using up fifteen tons of
hay, Altogether Mr.. Baker estimates
his loss at $1,000. He will at once move
the remnant of his herd back to his ranch
on the Gila near Tacna.

BUSINESS RESTS.
The Usual Summer LUll is No
ticeable in Trade.
The Price of Many Products
However Retain Strength.
FORCES INCREASED.
The Number of LabOrers Has
Been Added To.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-R. G. Dun &
CO.. weekly review of trade says:
There is a perceptible halt which may
deceive if attributed to wrong causes.
Trade two months late in spring
pushed forward into July a large
share of business belonging to April
or May. Seeing a rush for orders out
of time many imagined it would con-
tinue, and hurried to give other orders.
The jam of two months business into
one lifted prices. Then other orders
came to anticipate further rise. But
the midsummer halt was inevita BILE,
Ind it is yet somewhat uncertain how
much improvement will appear after it.
The crop of corn promises to be the
largest ever grown, and is almost out
of harms way. The crop of wheat APP
pears from later accounts, perhaps
20, 900, 900 less than was expected a
month ago, and had the best hopes
been realized it would have been more
than 100, 900, 900 bushels short of full
crop. Cotton has lost a little and
more people seem to believe in $780,
600 bales than believed in 5000, 900 a
month ago. Larger stocks than were
Immediately wanted have been taken
by traders as prices were advancing,
and these tend to limit future orders.
The general advance in many pro-
ducts also causes reluctance to pur-
chase, and the distribution of the past
half year has been in part to make up
for stocks and individual supplies de-
pleted during the two years of econo-
my. On the other hand, there has
been an enormous Increase in the
working force and a considerable in
crease in wages paid, which enables
people to buy more freely. Strikes of
some Importance appear, but do not
yet threaten to last long, though a
strike of coal miners may for time
affect business somewhat extensively.
The hopeful spirit prevailing in near
ly all markets may find its warrant in
spite of some shortage in crops.
Sales of wool have been only 6,O72,-
45O pounds for the week, against
1886, 400 in 1892.
Wheat suddenly rose cents on bad
reports of condition, but has dropped
all the gain as the scantiness of ex-
ports is felt, shipments in July having
been only 3,495, O64 bushels, -four in
Guided, from Atlantic ports, against
$500, 633 last year. Western receipts
continue very small and farmers APP
pear to be holding for higher prices.
Corn is a shade stronger, although the
reports are decidedly favorable.
Cotton has risen eighth in price.
wholly on bad condition reports, but
at the lowest estimate the years yield,
with stocks carried over, will exceed
the worlds demand. Heavy sales of
coal are reported at prices at least 70
cents below the circular, and the mar
ket is much demOralized, with fear of
auction sales.
Failures for the week have been 261
in the United States against 23O last
year and % in Canada against A last
year.

William +. Harrity, of the Democratic

number of inquiries as to whether he
intended to call a committee at an
early day to decide whether or not a
national convention should be called
TO take action on the money question.
In order to relieve the minds Of
anxious Democrats with regard to
the matter he has written the follow
ing open letter:
philadelphia. June 81 do not eX-
pect or intend to call meeting of the
Democratic national committee until
next winter. when it will meet for the
purpose of fixing the time and place
for holding the Democratic national
convention Of 1896. unless | shall be
requested to do so by the requisite
number of the Democratic national
committee. | do not believe there is
any necessity for convention at this
time: on the contrary, | am of the
opinion that to call one now would be
harmful to the business interests Of
the country and prejudicial to the
welfare of the Democratic party.
