General Run of Trade Is Just About
Holding Its Own.
New York. June 13.--R. q. Dun & Co.a
weekly review OF trade says: Specula-
tive reaction has not the least changed
the business outlook. The fictitious
prices made for wheat and cotton meant
no good except for individuals. and the
change to prices more nearly In accord
with actual relations OF demants and
supply only conforms to conditions
which have been we'll known for months.
II is not the time to look for marked
improvement in industries. and the best
thing that can be said OF them Is that
none have as yet been seriously dis
turbed by threatened labor difficulties
The demand for boots and shoes seems
slightly better, Notwithstanding an ad-
vance of 2iS cents per pair Is demanded
on some staple qualities, but there is
very little life. as the manufacturers are
not anxious to sell. having business for
some weeks TO come. while dealers are
ordering no more than their present
necessities require.
The textile manufactures are making
no Improvement. The accumulation OF
cotton goods continue. print cloths have
declined to the lowest point ever reaches,
and a general stoppage to relieve tho
market IL expected. Sales of wool in
two weeks OF June have been only
t.S23, 900 pounds, against 12,66h965 last
year. and no gain is expected in tho
manufacture for some time TO come.
Failures for the week have been GAG

year, and n In Canada, against "a last

Outcome OF Contest Between Union and
N0n-Uni0n Men.


Boston, June 13.-The causes for the
recent shutdown of the Old Dominion
Copper mine at Globe, Arizona, 30 far as
the same can be learned. at the COM
pany's headquarters. in this city, appear
to be purely and simply those hat have
grown out OF contest between union
and non-union labor interests.
A large numb of Mexicans have been
employed the property, TO the satisfac-
tion of the management, bur against the
wish OF the union men and the wish
OF the miners union. As result
of this condition OF things, the manage
ment has thought it wise TO shut down
the mine altogether until the matter can
be permanently and satisfactorily settled,
which, il is now thought, can be accom-
plished at an early date.
Two new furnaces will be in shape for
use next month, 1t is stated, and when
the mine does resume operations, it will
be in position to materially increase its
output and earn larger return.
