though raising revenue was some legis-

The house committee on rivers AMI

purpose whatever, without the further
authority OF congress is hereby pro-
hibited Party lines were not drawn.
In tlle house the river and harbor

TRADE CONDITIONS.
BUSINESS CONTINUES DEPRESSED
IN NEARLY ALL LINES.
Tendency of Prices Downward, and Mills
Are Still Waiting for the Rush
They Expected.

New York, June g.. BradstreeIs'
weekly review says general trade con-
tinues depressed i'll almost all lines.
The demand is smaller than a week
ago, and requests for and offerings of
commercial paper is decreased. Mer-
camille collections continue to be com
planned of and the tendency of prices,
particularly cereals, sugar, coffee, pork
products, cotton and cotton goods and
iron and steel continues downward.
Crop prospects in Nebraska were never
better There is moderate increase
in the demand for dry goods at Chicago,
but business is generally disappointing.
r. G. Dun's weekly report says it is
highly suggestive, that with as little
help as there is cow from new business,
that the markets are so nearly main
tanned. Summer Is close at hand and
with new crops promising we'll and old
stocks large, it is no wonder that farm
products are cheap. Factories and
mills are still waiting for the rush oI
business seen last year, and in spite
of the narrow orders at present are gen
orally holding on with much confidence.
The OPINION gains ground that more
active business is to be expected after
the conventions have been held, ana
the safety and sutiiciency Of crops have
been assured. The hardest problem
of the day is whether iron and steel
prices can be maintained, as they have
been during the past week. Nail asso-
Citations nave faiiec thus far to win
over competitors who undersell them,
while Jar association asks for iron
more than the selling prices for steel
bars.
