If Matters Not Closed Today
Serious Delay Liable.
HAMMOND HAS OTHER BUSINESS
Cannot Neglect Other Affairs Wait
ing on Astorians TO Meet
Their Agreements.

A prominent member Of the committee
OF Itwenty1one yesterday stated that ne
had received adNces from Mr.. Hammond
that unless the subsidy matters were
closed this week so that he could go on
with the work OF construction that an
unldnown period OF time might elapse be-
fore ne could undertake the work OF
construction, or other business connected
w4Jh 1.-The Astoria road. His interests
are varied and large, scattered IN dif-
ferenlt parts of the country and OF neces-
s9ty take a great deal OF plme and per-
sonal attention. AklaoEdans have had a
long time in which to get their affairs
IN shape and now that there remain but
a few matters to close up It would seem
THAT there should be no cause for longer
delay.
Vt is understood that Mr.. Hammond has
been called to other parts of the coun-
try on important business which 0may
detain him several months, and II he
does not get construction work commence
ed before he goes 1t will OF necessity have
to await his return. That will be an In
definite time, and MAY carry the whole
thing over another season. Mr. Ham
mond fully expected to be called upon
to commence work this week and with
that end In view organized the construc-
ton company the other day, but 1t looks
as though the services OF that company
would not be required very soon. He IS
much disappointed and cannot quite un-
dersband such pol.cy of delay on the
part of those so vltally interested and
whose interests are SO completely wrapp-
ed up in the success Of the railroad en-
terpnse.
The, committee yesterday id not re-
ceive any more OF THE subsidy deeds
butt feel most confident that there will bt
substantial returns today so that there
need be no more procrasdnation oveg
such vital matter. They feel hopeful
that better counseGs will prevail and that
such action with be taken at once as will
end the question in a most satisfactory
manner and permit decisive work being
done immediately. That this will be done
eventually is admitted by all who know
the gentlemen most concerned, but now,
the present moment, is when it is needed
and 1T Is to be hoped the moment will
not be lost.

DUN's REPORT.

New York, Judy 19.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade Will say:
The weeks news Is not entirely encour-
aging, but 1t is all the more natural be-
cause There are signs of midsummer dull
ness. Wheat prospects are not quite so
good as last week, but prices are still
lower, as corn and cottoi have been low
cred. The exports of gold and less ia
vorable treasury returns for July are
not unexpected and mean nothLng as to
the coming business. There is a percep-
tlble decrease in the demand for man-
ufactured products and the distribution
to consumers naturally lessons in mid
summer. Much of the recent bly.ng was
ito anticipate a rise in prices and such
purchases fall off when the prices have
risen. There are still numerous advances
in wages but strikes grow more numer-
GUS and important in part because bus
ness was unusually large in the first
half of July. The quiet tone meets rea-
sc naIble expectations. The heavy bank
fsAlure In Montreal does not affect fl
nances here and is passing there with
less disturbance than was feared.
Gold exports for the middle of July,
when crops are beg mining to move, II
not meant to affect stocks can at all
events have only a speculative signif-
ounce
The failures for the week are 256 in
the United States against 2S5 last year,
and 80 IN Canada against A last year.
