NOT A WISE WAY TO DO.

Governor Tanner Thinks Rock Island
People Were to Blame.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Aug. 16.-Gov.
ernor Tanner received many dispatches
during the night about the Woodmen
troubles. The call for troops was made
by Hon. T. j. Medill, mayor of Rock
Island. The governor has given ont
the following statement concerning the
affair:
The messages received have led me
to believe that the Rock Island people,
or the Woodmen, pursued an unwise
course in chartering the train and load
ing it with 500 Rock Island citizens and
proceeding into Fulton with so much
gusto and show.
Such course was calculated to ere.
ate riot. If the courts decree that the
records and books of the Modern Wood
men belong in and shall be removed to
Rock Island, the whole power of the
state is behind the courts to enforce
their decree. But in order to procure
that power they must proceed in an or.
derly, lawful and peaceful manner.
am pleased today to see that all is
peaceful anil quiet, and that the out
come has justified the wisdom Of my
action in refusing troops.

New YORK, Aug. 16.-The rumor was
revived in Wall street that Comptroller
Of the Currency Eckels, whose term
soon expires, has been invited to accept
the presidency Of trust company in
this city. Mr.. Eckels' name was prom.
inently mentioned some time ago in con-
nection with the presidency of the newly
formed Colonial Trust company, of
which Roswell P. Flower is the acting
president. The ex-governor accepted
the position with reluctance and with
the understanding that ne should be
permitted to retire at an early day. 1t
is said that negotiations between the
directors Of the Colonial Trust and Mr..
Eckels have been renewed.

WEEK. TRADE REVIEW.
Bradstreets Reports Evidence of Wide
sprend Revival in Demand.

Bradstrects Reports Evidence of Wide.
spread Revival in Demand.
NEW YORK, Aug. l6.-Bradstreets
says: Evidences of widespread revival
in demand for merchandise and other
products have become so numerous as to
compel general recognition. The press
has therefore ceased discussing whether
trade has really improved or not and
have begun measuring the volume of
business compared with the preceding
periods.
A buoyancy of feeling has appeared
among buyers and sellers at New York.
Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis and Kan
sas City, where interior merchants have
thronged this week, the like Of which
has not been seen for several years. In.
terror merchants are buying dry goods,
clothing, shoes, groceries and fancy
articles
More Freely Than Any Time Since 1892.
Southern lumber mills are not able to
keep up with orders and innumerable
small consumers of iron and steel
throughout Central Western states are
buying raw material as they have not
for years.
Wheat scored an advance of Z cents
on continued heavy exports and ten
dency to decrease estimates of the size
of the domestic crop. Wool is higher
on speculative holding and cotton yarns
have advanced again. Hides and South
ern lumber are up, as are wheat, flour,
Indian corn, and, last but not least,
print cloths, the market for which has
been SO long depressed.
Heavy Exports of Wheat.
Exports of wheat, -four included as
wheat, from both coasts of the United
States and from Montreal this week
aggregate 4, 46O, $40 bushels, an increase
over last week of more than 100000
bushels, and compared with shipments
in the week year ago of 2,635, coo
bushels, 1924, 900 bushels in 1895, 2,979,
600 bushels in 1894 and of 6,l29,00C
bushels in 1898. The worldwide char.
acter of the demand for our wheat and
-four is illustrated by the exports from
both coasts of this country to such fa1
off and infrequept customers as Rio dc
Janeiro in Brazil, Gallo in Peru, and
Surabaya in the islands Of Java, not tc
mention heavily increased shipments to
Europe, China and the East. Total ex
