DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, n. y, July 17.-R. 6. Dun & Co.
will say tomorrow in their weekly review Of trade
Failures for the week have been 269 in the United
States against 25S last year and 35 In Canada
against 80 last year.
Disapproval OF the action at the Chicago con-
vention has had some influence in the markets the
past week. but a far more important factor has
been the feeling that the financial future is still
uncertain. This acute attack of doubt coming at
atime when business is for other reasons seriously
depressed has made the week unusually gloomy in
speculative circles. The average price for sixty
active ra road stocks has declined from SAT % to
9 "a 7S per share and the average of trust stocks
from SAT 30 TO $44 4S per share.
The wheat market has been remarkably we'll
supported in spite of very favorable report by
than week ago. Western receipts of wheat have
been 3,5s1,700 bushels against 1,4S5, 800 for the
same week of July of last year. and Atlantic ports
-four included. has been l. lS5, 900 bushels against
only 547,O lS for the same week last year.
Cotton has fallen about q half in options and
one quarter III spot prices, because the men who
were sure there would be cotton famine in July

orders are exceedingly slow, the sales Of wool at

The output OF pgiron July was 100, 532 tons
weekly, against 1872, 220 June ], and 17I,l94 a
year ago The decrease since the maximum was
reached November !, 1906 tons weekly has
been material and yet stocks are rapidly accumu-
lating, those held by producers, not including the
great steel companies, amounting TO Si5,S72 tons.
an increase OF 29.92o tons for the month Of June
or about 1000 tons per week. which indicates a
consumption OF less than $4,000 tons
Considering the fact that the accumulation by
the great steel companies must have been large
the consumption is undoubtedly smaller than il
was a year ago. The demand for finished products
of iron and steel is extremely narrow although

therms dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word 'high" means high barOmetrc pressure and
is usually ACCOMPANIED by fair weather; slow"
refers TO low pressure. and is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.
Lows ally first appear on the Washington
coast. When the pressure is high in the interior
and low along the coast, and the isobars extend
north and south along the coast rain is probable;
but when the Glow" is inclosed with isobars of
marked curvature rain south OF Oregon is i'm prob
able. With "high" in he vicinity of Idaho, and
the pressure falling to the California coast, warmer
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather in winter The reverse Of these conditions

Whipped His Wife.

ChaS. Johnson, an express wagon
driver, was before the recorder today, on
a charge of beating and striking his wife
yesterday. The case was continued I'M
til tomorrow morning.
Yesterday morning johnson told his
wife he had some work to do and would
not come home before noon, but he ac
complishedthis work an hour earlier and
went to his home on El Paso street, Carr's
hill. He found the door closed but he
managed to open 1t and as he stepped in
side he was knocked down by the i'm
petuous rush of man from within, who
then fed down the street. Charley asked
his wife who 1t was and she told him it
was a bill collector after debt they owed
him. This he evidently did not believe
as she says her husband took a heavy
strap with buckle on it and gave her a
terrible whipping and then kicked her
out into the street. He afterward fol-
lowed the man, found him and wanted to
kill him, but was arrested by the police.

TRANSFORMATION Parasites.

To the San Antonio Daily LIGHT:
There are encouraging signs that
the transportation parasites,
known as express companies, are
about to have their wings clipped.
A bill is now before congress, plac-
ing them under control Of the in
terstate commission, with power
to regulate their changes, while q
similar bill is pending before the
Iowa legislature. Men pirate about
railroad discrimination and
charges, but before the practical
extorrions Of the express compan-
les, railroad exactions sink into
insignificance. The Texas legisla-
ture should fall into line and put
check on the capacity of the inland
buccaneers. SHARPE EYE.
