Captain Dodd's Troopers Did Some New
Tricks-The Bicyclists and the Trotters
A Last Glance at the Exhibits-other
Matters of Interest.
Friday at Rigby was another success.
full day in the annals of the fair Early
in the morning the people began to ar
rive and by noon the big grand stand
was so well filled that while there were
seats to be had, those who wanted advan-
;ageous positions in the front rows had to
hunt for them. The Midway barkers were
loud in their vociferations all day and
some of the shows did thriving busi-
ness. 1t was in the events on the track
that the interest centered and the people
found much that was worth the seeing.
The drilling of the cavalry aroused the
same enthusiasm that it has on the other
days of the week and the riding of Miss
Myrtle Peek was also pleasing feature
of the days programme. The bicycle
races which took up a large part of the
afternoon were exciting and enlivened by
several spills. Among the unfortunates
was Major Taylor, the colored boy from
Cambridgeport, Mass, but his mishap did
not prevent him from winning another
race and he came out at the end of the
days contests with two frsts and Sec
ond to his credit Good judges said that
the crowd which saw these things num-
bered from IS 600 to Is, 900 people.
Signs that the great show was drawing
to a close We're apparent during the day
for some of the exhibits were removed.
The tent of the Hood farm Jerseys was
struck and those aristocratic cattle re-
moved to other quarters. The poultry
were being loaded onto carts and trundled
away and the swine had also gone, their
departure being hastened by an unfortu-
nate occurrance of the day before when
hog cholera broke out in the exhibits of
Albra Adams of Madison and A. B.
Jones of Turner putting an untimely end
to three of the Jones collection of porkers
and prompting the exhibitors Of other
herds to conclude that they wanted to get
away as soon as possible.

W.
New York, August 2O.-R. G. Dun and
their weekly review of trade will say:
Not for several years have the tele-
graphic reports from various cities in all
parts of the country been as encouraging
or shown as uniform improvement as
this week.
The markets are called crazy by some,
but fairly represent the people whose con-
fidence in the future is strong and in
creasing. Nothing appears to check it,.
Rumors of injury to crops are not suffi-
cientJy supported to have much influence.
The one temporary hindrance is the
strike of bituminous coal miners, which
interferes as vet little with industries and
seems likely to terminate within q week.
The greatest gain has been for agricul-
ture. Corn has advanced little in price,
but is moving very largely, so that the
last years surplus may soon be marketed
unless the new crop turns out better than
many now expect. Cotton declined an
eighth because of an estimate promising
the largest crop ever grown, but the
dry goods market is decidedly improving,
and some of the large mills, after few
weeks of SUSPENSION, have resumed work.
Other farm products are doing we'll also
but wheat has advanced about II 3-8 cents
for the week on actual transactions, with
heavy purchases for export. The official
estimate of yield is entirely disregarded
except as an admission that the crop will
be larger than that of last year and it is
commonly assumed that the yield will be
$4,000, 0o0 or more, though recent reports
of injury indicating the possibility of a
somewhat smaller outcome have helped
the advance in prices. Western receipts
for the week 3,S44, ,554 bushels against 8,
974, ,775 last year and for three weeks II.
34o,267 bushels against l0,697 ,137 last
year while Atlantic exports are about
double last year s, 3,7O5,287 bushels,
against 1,80S,347 last year and for three
weeks 9,S19,31S, against 5,102,661 last
year, flour included for both years. 1t is
well to notice that corn exports continue
more than double last year also, in three
weeks 8,156,54 bushels against A. 1924
last year.
The iron and steel industry is pushing
forward in spite of the still unsettled
strike of bituminous coal miners and the
enormous purchases of ore at Cleveland
and also of billets at Pittsburg, show the
utmost confidence in the future.
Many additional establishments have
begun work during the past and while no
material change in prices has occurred,

the reports indicate fewer concessions to
secure business and much Steadier tone.
Tin is frnler with full consumption, and
there is larger business in copper, several
million pounds having been taken for ex-
port raising the price of lake to II IA
cents. The old difficulty remains in the
boot and shoe industry, dealers being un-
willing to buy largely at the prices which
manufacturers now ask though during
the past week the only change has been a
slight advance on calf boots. The ship
ments from the east have been the small
est for three weeks Of August in any year
since 1898 but are a little larger than in
1892. Leather is held very stiff with
great confidence that the future demand
will justify prices now asked. The mark
ct for hides at Chicago is again much
stronger prices having advanced with
very narrow transactions, and buyers are
holding off in the belief that prices have
reached the top.
In the woolen business q constant in
crease appears in the number of establish
1nents at work, and the demand for goods
has much increased. There is some con-
tinued demand in prices for staple arti-
cles. The sales of wool are very large,
amounting to 15,030.50 pounds for the
week, and IS, $50, 305 for three weeks, of
which 26, 155, $50 were domestic.
Failures for the week have been 223 in
the United States against $50 last year
and 80 in Canada against ~ last year.
The Canadian Markets.
New York, August OR. g. Dun &
Co.. on Canadian trade, says: No change
of consequence appears in the course of
Canadian trade, although there is a little
improvement in the western provinces.
St. John reports very fair shipments Of
lumber, although prices have declined.
and freights have advanced. Business
generally continues quiet, with collec-
tions we'll maintained and prospects hope
full. 1t is noted that British paper manu-
facturers are investing in pulp mills
there. The feeling at Halifax is favor
able to broadening of trade, though as
yet there is not much change. Quebec
notes fair improvement, though recent
rains, which still continue, have more
or less injured the hay crop. Other crops
are good. At Toronto trade in all lines is
improving and there is increasing de-
mand for loans though money is still
cheap. Wholesale trade in all lines at
Winnipeg is much above the average, and
substantial gain is shown in connection
with railway and mining operations.
The wheat crop promises a substantial
yield. Victoria reports most satisfactory
wholesale trade in leading lines, with COL
lections well up to the average.
