Conditions of Trade.

The destruction of Spanish fleet,
Europe's quick appreciation of the feat,
the wearying flags Of truce at Santiago,
and at last the surrender, have all in
t1uenced some markets day by day.
But Americans have grown, and see
that not many outside matters greatly
influence the business which enables
them to market 81 ,21O, 274,O15 worth of
domestic products abroad in a year,
against $6l6,052,S44 worth imported
The new loan has proved a stupendous
success, over 81 300, 900, 900 having been
subscribed, and it is now the question
of chiefinterest whether any banks will
get enough, after personal subscriptions
have been accepted to support further
circulation. Industries and business
are at the naturally lowest point for the
year. and therefore the records are the
more impressive.
The decrease i'll output of pig iron
from 225, 37S tons weekly July LIST, most
ly due to usual stoppages for repairs a
little before July LIST, carries with it a
decrease of PIG tons weekly is unsold
stocks. If the first and last of the
month represented average production,
the quantity consumed in manufacture
would be 3.S per cent. less than the
highest ever attained in May, small
decrease for midsummer, but in fact the
average production was larger, and de
crease in consumption was smaller.
Just when stagnation is customary, very
many mills are crowded with orders for
months, the Illinois rail mills until
December or latter, with sales this
week of $4,000 tons, and structural works
with few contracts for 10000 tons or
more, while larger demands for bars at
the East. One heavy sale Of billets
from Pittsburg to eastern Pennsylvania,
at concession of so cents, is the only
real decline in quotations, though east
ern steel bars are shade lower.

Beats the KIondike.

Mr.. A. C. Thomas of Marysville. Tex,
has found a more valuable discovery
than has yet been made in the Klondike.
For years he suffered untold agony from
consumption, accompanied by hemor-
rhages and was absolutely cured by
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, Coughs and colds. He declares
that gold is of little value in comparison
with this marvellous cure; would have
it, even if it cost a hundred dollars a
bottle. Asthma, Bronchitis and all
throat and lung affections are positively
cured by DR.. Kings New Discover for
Consumption. Trial bottles free at John
E. Caly's drug store. Regular size 80
cents and S100 Guaranteed to cure or
money refunded. (2)

No Candidate Against Minor,

Some time ago there was every pros
pect Of a lively contest in the Eighth
district against the denomination Of
Mr.. Minor. Most of this has now
quoted down. Frank Hatton of Wau-
paca county, who announced himself
a candidate for Mr.. Minors place, has
Stitled his ambitions somewhat and
has decided to seek a term in the
state senate from the Twenty-tir
district. This district comprises the
counties of Portage and Waupaca,
and is now represented by DR.. John
Phillips of Stevens Point. Dr. Phil
lips, who is quite old, has decided not
to be a candidate for another term,
and as it is Waupaca's turn" for
senator, Mr.. Hatton has good chances
of success if he can secure a home
endorsement. The Eighth district
will be the first in the state to hold
it's congressional convention, Chair
man T. J. McGrath having called it
to be held in Green Bay Aug. Mill

longer held by anyone who is familiar
with such facts as those which have
just been presented. What they are
endeavoring to prove now is that the
republican party has nothing to do
with the prosperity that has come
from it. With any other party than
the democratic this would appear like
inconsistency, but the democrats
change face and argument so often
that no one is surprised at any varia-
tion in their views. The only thing
that could possibly be inconsistent
with their record would be consist.

Tariff and Price of Wool,

Under free wool the price dropped to
II cents per pound. The present
price of wool is due to the protection
afforded by the Dingley tariff bill.
The market has now nearly reached
the point at which wool can be i'm
ported under the new tariff. When
our unwashed wool has reached the
price of about % cents per pound the
full protection afforded by the Dingley
tariff will have been reached. Under
the Mckinley tariff of 1SS9-90 the
price of wool was % to a cents per
pound, which is the highest point it
has reached in y years. Following
this, for period of two years under
Grover Cleveland and no tariff, the
price was about - cents per pound
for unWlShed wool.
Owing to the Dingley protective
tariff the price today for unwashed
wool is 20 cents per pound, and with
the return of prosperous times and
the consumption of the enormous
amount of foreign wool brought in
under free duty during the first half
of the year 1897 we shall have reached
the point where the wool will receive
the full benefit of the tariff which
will advance the price Of unwashed
wool from to cents above the pres
ent price. This will again revive the
wool industry in this country and
greatly increase the next years clip.
