The outcome Of this election In
South Dakota ought to teach our
Republican leaders a Statutory lesson.
One important thing taught is that
it is not safe 10 monkey with the

looks nice and smells good. Thou
sands of Republicans were induced
TO believe in free coinage Of silver
at the ratio OF 1G 10 /, Republican

ship the silver calf. We have learn
ed that it was a Hercalean task to
re-conyert those who had been mis-
led. Indeed, 50 many refused to be
re-converted " though the argu-
ments which converted them to silver
have been utterly demolished, that
practical defeat has oyertaken the
party.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW,

Situation Unchanged in Nearly All Lines
OF Business.
NEW YORK. Aug. 10. - Bradstreets
says: In nearly all lines trade is I'M
changed in some departments lifeless.
South and Southwest the heat had an
unfavorable influence. but merchants in
all directions continue to buy for need
only. While it is too early for fall trade
to assume large proportions, distribu-
ton Of clothing and shoes at Chicago
has improved somewhat, although less
active than one year ago. At several
centers bankers have preferred not to
loan as freely as heretofore. Mer-
chants, not wishing to be refused, have
accordingly curtailed their requests for
accommodations.
Mercantile Collections Are Slow
and in some instances more difficult to
make Renewed scrutiny of credits has
had an effect in restricting the same.
Iron and steel industries remain exces-
sively dull. Cotton yarn manufac-
turers have agreed to curtail production
so per cent during August, and. owing
70 lack of demand, Western packing
house employees have been laid off.
There is no improvement in wool and
some Philadelphia mills have shut
down. Comparatively favorable re-
ports concerning general trade are more
numerous than in preceding weeks.
