ly emphasized this week by advances In quo-
tations, not only for coke, but prospectively
fer iron and for Bessemer pig iron, for steel
billets and actually for manufactured iron at
western markets. Higher quotations for cut
meats west, and the outcome OF restricted
supplies OF cattle, and this is behind jncreas-
ed demand for shoes for fall delivery, as
quotations for leather continue upward on
the comparative scarcity Of hides.
Firmness In cotton and the late advance
has shown itself In higher quotations. not only
for print cloths but other varieties Of cotton
goods, some OF them 1S@ac higher than
fortnight ago. Increased demand for pc
troleum or reports Of reduced output have
pushed prices up, and higher prices for hogs
at the west have brought like quotations for
pork and lard. In addition, advances nfe
reported on butter ind eggs. Such a list OF
increased quotations within week, the
third within three weeks, tells Its own story.
Among staples reported firm or unchanged
in price are wool, although moving In larger
volume, cotton, sugar, coffee. leaf tobacco,
rice, lumber and millinery. As important as
any other information bearing on the con-
di,ion Of trade are reports from Minnesota,
South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa, that the
soil is greatly In need OF more moisture,
which, with the unreasonably warm and dry
weather, promises restricted area OF wheat,
particularly In South Dakota. To come ex-
tent these conditions prevail In Kansas, where
summer heat is reported.
The better feeling In general trade circles
which characterized reports from number
OF cities has become more widespread, and
even where no actual gain In movement OF
staples is reported, increased confidence In
better demand is marked.
Exports Of wheat, including flour as wheat,
from both coasts this week are smaller than
for four preceding weeks. 2,562.000 bushels.
This total is compared with exports Of practice

There has been some talk Of an amalga-

An Important Decision.

A decision has just been handed down by
the supreme Court OF Illinois which unani-
mously declares that the eight-hour law for
women, recently enacted by the Legislature
OF that State IL unconstitutional. The act
provides that women be prohibited from
working In any manufacturing establishment
more than eight hours in any one doy. In
the decision, 1t is held by the court that a
woman has the right to contract to work as
many hours In day or week rs she may see
proper The mere TACT of sex does not Justify
The law making power to restrict the right OF
any person to dispose Of her labor as che
may see III. The opinion goes still further
than this, and lays down the broad princi-
pie that AN act which abridges the freedom
OF contract between Xaykman and employer
In lawful occupation is unconstitutional.
This decision Is considered "a vastly i'm
portant one In Its far-reaching results, being
the first decision rendered In the United States
against eight-hour laws, and adds another
Obstacle In the path OF the shorter hour
movement.

WHISKY TRUST FRAUDS.

"doctorihg' books aud similar work are
made, and the report asserts that the former
directors and officers, by disposing OF stock
to themselves, have left discrepancy Of

shares OF stock were sold by the officers and
directors TO themselves at As cents on the
dollar, and that, consequently, almost S2,'
000, 900 Is due from them to the stockholders
Of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding Com

Whether or not any action to recover the
enormous amount thus said to be due will be
taken is as yet undecided. Gen. McNulta has
called conference OF interested parties to
consider the matter. There Is little doubt
that the experts report will result in u hot
fight between the present management and
the Qreenhut people.
Receiver McNuIta said that he believed that
more sensational discoveries would follow
