MIDSUMMER DULLNESS,
Bradstreet's View Of Trade COndi-
tons Less Optimistic

NEW YORK, July -Bradstreets
tomorrow will say: The dullest month
in the industrial year is duller than
usual, Notwithstanding improvement
among potterS and others. This is dua
to a reaction in iron and steel prices,
of which are back to lowest points on
record. a dragging demand for boots
and shoes, and threatened famine of
bituminOus coal. There are more coal
miners out than at this time last year
and, Notwithstanding assertions that
arbitration will end the strike in the
near future, some of the large operat-
ors in the Pittsburg district declare
that there is nothing to arbitratc
Manufacturers of cotton goods and
their agents report trade slow, owing
to higher cotton and low prices for
goods. This has shut down a number
of cotton mills in Massachusetts, and
in Rhode island. A fairly steady bus
mess is reported by Eastern manufac-
turers of shoes, but trade at Philadel-
phia is dull, merchants hesitating to
place orders Western wholesale deal
ers in clothing report distribution I'M

are already shut down, and, If the
coal strike lasts another week, thous-
ands of factory wheels will stop turn

more confident feeling in industrial cir
cles. which was so pronounced a fort
night ago.

FLIRTING WITH JAPAN.
Spain Does the Oriental Minister I'm
usual Honor.

LONDON, July 16.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Pail Mall Gazette
says: The most notable event thus far
Of the Spanish court season, at San
Sebastian, has been the visit of Prince
Takeheito, Japan's ambassador extra
ordinary, who was sent to invest King
AlphonSo with the japanese imperial
order of the Chrysanthemum. The
visit is considered of peculiar impor-
lance The envoy was received with
extreme cordially by the queen and
the government. The prince, who was
accompanied by the Marquis Ito. was
received in full state, by the Duke of
Tetuan, Spanish minister of foreign
affairs, and all the court functionaries.
The streets were lined with troops.
The distinguished visitors were con-
Quoted to the palace, where the queen
and brilliant retinue welcomed them
With high honors. Banquets, balls
and other marked compliments fol-
lowed and the war ships in the bay
We're decorated with flags and bunt-
ing. The Duke of Tetuan has gone out
of his way to protest that the mis-
sion is purely complimentary, and
without political significance, although
a japanese legation may be establish
ed at Madrid. 1t is said that the oc-
currence is being carefully observed
In the United States.

The system of uniformed attendants,
established by the New York Central,
at Grand Central Station, New York

with the travelling public as the famous
Empire State Express. 1t supplies a
long-felt want, and is especially appre-

GREAT NORTHERN DIRECTORS
AUTHORIZE AN INCREASE FOR
THE PRESENT QUARTER.
BETTERMENT IN CONDITIONS.
VARIOUS INTERESTS OF THE BIG
ROAD IN LINE OF IMPROVE
MENT.
VAST MOVEMENT OF TONNAGE,
While the Montana Coal Shows Snt-
isfactOry Shape-What Col.
CIOuGh Says.

The fact leaked out yesterday that at
the Great Northern Railway company,
held a fortnight ago, an increase of
from IA to 1R per cent dividend for
the quarter ending Aug. had been
announced. While those of the officials
of the road who knew of the meeting
diSclaim any intention to keep 1T Sc
cret, it is a fact that no knowledge of
such meeting was had outside the
general office building until Wednes-
day, when the information about the
increase was dispatched to New York.
The simple fact of there being an in
crease in the dividend of a railroad,
and especially in the West in thase
times, created considerable comment
yesterday when the news became
known, although it does not apepar to
have had any effect on the company'S
stock in the Eastern markets. In the
absence of President Hill, who has not
yet returned from the West, Col.
Clough, vice president Of the company,
was seen yesterday regarding the mat
ter. He was inclined to be reticent
and would only say that the increase
was the result of a betterment in the
general condition of affairs Of the Vari-
GUS Great Northern interests. Among
these interests he included the railroad,
the Lake Superior freight and pas
senger steamers, the elevator system
and the Montana coal mines. He stated
in substance that there had not been
any increase in the earnings of the
railroad company, in fact admitted
there had been an increase in the ra-
ito of operating expense to gross earn
ings. Mentioning the Eastern Mime
sofa and Montana Central lines, feed
ers of the Great Northern, he asserted
that both were making very low rates,
but We're carrying a vast deal of ton
mage; he stated that the freight boats
running between Duluth and Buffalo
had established a volume of trade
which it was expected the passenger
boats would enjoy later, and in re-
spect to the Montana coal interests all
he would say was that conditions had
been improving for the past six
months, and that all the varied inter
ests had felt the Improvement The
crop of grain last year, he explained,
had been but so per cent of the pre-
vious year.
Col. Clough declined to allow the use
Of any figures upon which such an &C.
ton as that taken at the meeting
might be based, saying that they would
be made public later, possibly. At the
meeting referred to above there were
no foreign directors present.

THOUSANDS OF LEAGUERs.
EpwOrth Hosts in Full Possession
of TORONTO.

TORONTO, Ont July 16.-The Ep-
worth leaguers have kept on coming
for two days, tilbe today they muster
over 10000 strong. fRndecarrying every
thing in front of them. Meetings they
have in profusion, and speakers from
Greenland's icy mountains and from
Indian mission fields. To-day the meet
ings number no less than sixteen, and
as there are anywhere up to dozen
speakers who are limited to five
minutes at each meeting, it is impos-
sible for any one delegate to imbibc
more than a certain part of all the
good things. The music is perhaps the
most pleasing feature of the conven-
ton. Choirs of $50 to 200 voices are
at each meeting, and as the good old
hymns are sung and a few Thousand
extra voices help out the chorus,
the effect is inspiring. The topics I'M
der discussion today were spiritual,
literary and social work, finance,
mercy and help correspondence. The
Junior league and Missionary confer
ences were also held.

asked the Western roads to join with them in
$50 pounds Of baggage to trans-Pacifc pas
sengers having first-class tickets to the Pa
cifc coast and reduced fare orders for the
ocean passage. The request will likely be
granted.

How Brunetiere Edits His Review


When Ferdinand Brunetiere, the
famous French critic, who has recent
ly been lecturing in this country. was
asked whom he had left in charge of
the great French Revue DIES DeuX
Mondes," of which he is editor, he re-
piled briefly that all the numbers of
the magazine which were to appear in
his absence were made up long before
he left. That is the way editing is
done in France. So 1t is not likely
that articles which will describe the
celebrated critics impressions of the
United States will be at all hurried in
publication. But they are likely to at
tract wide attention, for Brunetiere
wields a trenchant pen, and is nothing
il not decided, and frank in his opin-
ions. His warfare on lola and the
NaturaliStic school of French novel;
lists is an instance of his combative
tendency. Brunetieres gods are Taine
and Renan, and upon these two he has
recently written articles of exception
al interest for Charles Dudley War
ner's new Library of the Worlds Best
Literature. These are in the nature of
critical or Introductory studies, which
give wonderful insight into the lives
and work of these two masters of
modern France. There is no man liv-
ing who could write more authoritative
ly upon the geat French historian, and
upon the author of the famous Life
Of Jesus" and his two monographs
will form a notable contribution to
this wonderful Library. Address a
postal to the G o b e today and learn
how easily you can now secure a set

NEW LUMBER TARIFF.
Great Western Issues Another With
Some Changes.

The Great Western yesterday issued con-
solidated lumber tariff No. 5. Perhaps rea-
soning on the theory that no change can
be made in lumber rates for at least thirty
days by any Of its competitors, the Great
Western includes in this consolidated tariff
the freight tariff on lumber which it made
recently to meet the 2 cent reduction made
by the Milwaukee, which according to the
shippers and railroaders helped neither, and
which, if not pulled out promises to mix
matters up when the big shipments begin.
AS already printed in this column, it was
thought that arbitration would adjust the
matter, but the other lines which met the
reduction insist that the advance be made by
the Milwaukee before they take any action
1t was whispered yesterday that the Mil
waukee had threatened another 2 cent re-
duction, but 1t has not yet been announced
formally. If this happens the situation will
simply be still more complicated.

CROPS ON THE OMAHA.
On the Western Division Everything
Is Lovely.

Assistant General Freight Agent Ober. of
the Omaha. returned yesterday from a short
trip over the Western division of the line.
He found the farmers very busy in most
along with their crop of rye and will be
ready in, fortnight to harvest the barley.
The oats, he says, are in excellent shape,
the corn possibly bit backward, and only
the wheat crop not up to expectations The
crop will be fair, so his farmer friends saw,
but not what it started out to be earlier in
the season. Mr. ODER says on account of the
greatly increased acreage, more men are
being employed and incidentally more hind
ing Irvine is being shipped to the farms than
in former years
