NOLONCER QUESTION
Business Is Improving in All
Sections of the Country.
REPORT is FAVORABLE
Crops Will Be Large, Labor Troubles
Are Over, and Wages Of Work.
ingmen Are Advancing.

|
New York, June 17.-R. G.. Dun &
Co. s Weekly Review of Trade will
say: 1t is no longer a question whether
business improves. Not for Ions
time have our reports from all parts Of
the country been so uniformly favor.
able. The daily average of bank clear.
ings in June is 24.8 per cent larger
than last year, though ia per cent
less than in 1892. The most potent
influence has been receipts of more ia
vorable advices regarding growing
crops. Labor troubles are getting out
of the way, wages in many establish
ments are rising, and the iron industry
is now leading. There is general i'm
provement in manufactures. None
tary conditions also help. The time
draws near when crop export will
bring gold hither, and though foreign
operations in stocks have been insignifi-
can't this week, the effect of the pre-
vious transactions have not been ex-
hausted. Diminished receipts of money
from the interior indicate better en-
ployment in business, and especially at
the West, and the volume of CONNER
cial loans steadily rises, and is now fair
for this season, even in good year.
Western receipts for two weeks of
June were 3,166, $3.50 bushels of wheat
against 3,OO1,2 1882 last year, while At
lantic exports, flour included, were
only 1854, 847 bushels against $780,
227 last year. The effect of the rise in
prices was seen in the official reports
of May exports, showing decrease Of
100000 bushels from Atlantic, but
an increase of 100000 from Pacific
exports. The price was reduced 2 1-2c
in trading. Corn also declined about
1c, with better reports of growth.
The official statement Of IA per cent
decrease in cotton acreage was found,
in view of the revised government es-
Inmates for the year, to mean more
than 20,000,00O acres now growing
cotton, which much exceeds the best
unofficial estimates.
Cotton mills are doing we'll for the
season and numerous advances of 1-8
to 1-4c are still reported.
The output of pig iron in June was
but trifie larger than May 1-157, 1924
tons against 156, 554 month ago, and
174,O year ago. The advance in
prices continues. Bessemer pig reached
$12.4O, and gray FORCES $1O.6, at Pitts
burg, and changes in all iron products
show advances of 81 per cent this
month, and 1873 per cent from the low
est point in February. For this con-
sentative industry, rise of 26 per cent
in Bessemer iron seems large, but it
compared with 35 per cent in cotton,
50 per cent in wheat, so to 70 per cent
in leather, 80 per cent in refined oil,
and over 1000 per cent in hides. All
these products were at the lowest prices
ever known, and remarkable gains were
to be expected when any came, but
with each consumption has yet to
justify advances.
Failures for the week have been 241
in the United States against 232 last
year, and 81 in Canada against 40 last
year.

Nebraska's Abundant Crops.

Omaha, June 18.-Nebraska crops
are in better condition than for years.
The indications are that the corn yield
will be something enormous. 1t is 80
per cent of the entire crop of the state.
Much corn was planted late within the

ing rapidly. The small grain will be
Q full crop.

Trninerx Arrestec

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Oct. S.-De-
lany, Donaldson and Joe Corbett, train
ers of the champion. were arrested to-
day by Deputy Sheriff Dasher on
attachment of the Travis county grand
jury, citing them to appear at Austin
tomorrow. They were given the op-
ton of giving bond and going by
themselves, but they elected to go
with the officers as by submitting to
custody the expense of the trip is
thrown on the state. Corbett does
not know what the move means When
asked, he said: 81 hear that they are
going to charge US with conspiracy to
violate law of the state. I was not
aware that we were conspiring for any
such purpose, but as soon as we
learned there was a law in Texas pro-
hibiting the fight we abandoned all
intention of fighting in this state"
The matter doesn't worry Corbett in
the least. except that the absence of
his trainers will retard work for a day
or two. He received a telegram during
the afternoon from Brady at Dallas
saying that the prospects are that
Hot Springs or some other place in
New Mexico will be chosen for the
battle ground.

policies are made simply for your in
terest The Republican party with its
theory of q high protective tariff
claims to be your especial friend. If
you listen TO some of its orators, and
if you read some of its literature, 1t
would seem that the only purpose for
adopting q high protective tariff sys-

this, it seems to have it's existence;

too much to this; do not trust it too
far. There are several ways of de-
ceiving in this world, but there is moth

sensations. (Applause.)
On the other hand, the Democratic
party says that its policies of govern

among other things, of meeting the
true interest of the laboring man, and

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. S.-"You
can say for me that I would not con-
vene the Legislature in special session
to stop it, if they were to fight in the
state house yard
Governor Clark used this language in
conversation with an Associated Press
representative today in reference to
his probable action in the event that
the -Fitzsimmons contest should
be advertised to take place in Hot
Springs. His manner was so DELHI
crate and emphatic that there could
be no possible doubt of the earnestness
of the governor. Governor Clark was
in a most amiable frame of mind and
talked freely concerning the latter
phase of the situation.
Il really do not know anything about
it, he began, but l have heard a
great many rumors about schemes to
hold the contest in Arkansas. 1t looks
though, as if they mean ITO bring it off
at Hot Springs sure enough. The fact
that Mayor Waters and City Attorney
Martin of Hot Springs are in Dallas
negotiating with the managers of the
affair indicates beyond doubt that Hot
Springs wants it and they viii very
likely get it."
''Will you interfere should they at
tempt to bring it off there? ?"
MY position in that regard is we'll
known. You may say that L will do
everything in my power to prevent the
fight; that l will go as far as the law,
as it now stands, gives me authority
to go. and no farther.

DALLAS, Tex, Oct S--A puzzline, turn
was taken by Governor Culberson aud
his administration this morning which
created some surprise, not only at the
headquarters of the Florida Athletic club
but among the people generally who
heard of it. It looks as if the glove con-
test affair has reached the war-to-the-
knife stage so far as Governor Culber-
son and Attorney General Crane are con-
cerned.
Attachment papers were received by
Sheriff Gable, from Austin, TO be served
on w. X. Wheelo.k, secretary of the
Florida Athletic club; w. A. Brady. man
ager of J. j. Corbett: Martin Julian. man
ager of BOD F'itzsimnons and Joe Ven

jury.

MIR. Stuart's friends say that it is now
clear that the governor and the attorney
j general are not so fiercely after prizt

/ they have determined to crush if there
I is sufficient power in their positions.
The friends of Mr.. Stuart say that the
very fact that Stuart is not summoned
before the Travis county grand Jury
/ shows that his testimony is not desired
/ but rather testimony against him. They
(, claim that the governor and attorney
