Dun's July Review

X. q. Dun 4 Co.'S Monthly Review o.
Trade Conditions in Southern California re-
ports as follows:
The prospect OF peace and the looked for
result of the opening up of new markets
stimulates business throughout the cour
try In July trade is unusually light. IT
awaits the outcome and movement OF crops.
but this year there has been no holt. The
mast month records more business than any
previous July known. Crop outlook prom
ises prosperity for the year. The wheat
yield Is unusually large, the corn about
the same as last year. The cotton prospect
good. The increased foreign demand for
nearly all forms of iron and steel has ma
terially assisted In improving the situation
in these metals.
There is no pressure in the money market,
nor is there likely to be, and the balance in
foreign trade continues to set In favor OF
this country. In our immedia te> district
there Is little new to report. 1t is quiet in
most branches OF trade. Threshing and
hay baling is progressing. The supply OF
fruits has been found to be not SO light
after all, and good prices have ruled. The
canneries are now paying $50 ton for
peaches, with prospects OF prices advance
ing. Returns from the east show unsatis-
factory orange markets, generally loss ia
the shipper. Lemon market is active, prices
'er so good, but crop about exhausted.
Inc CnlnO factory Will start up ABOUT the
middle OF August with a full crew. There
will bef considerable sugar produced In
spite Of the dry year. In the dried fruit
market little IS now offered. Apricots
claimed the attention. or the month, an"
the output about ITS carloads for Southern
California, is practically disposed OF. /.
has netted for the grower $40 TO $22 green.
Producers who have held now ask SHs and IL
cents per pound. The plan OF the Kaisin
Growers association to pool the raisin pro-
duct of the state has succeeded, and 80 pet
cent OF the output will be controlled This
should solve the problem of successfully
marketing this product.
The season for walnu9 picking is ap-
preaching. The output Isl placed at 45Ul
tons as against 1850 OF last year. No prices
yet reported as set by, the association fov
opening the new crop market. Reports from
: the various cattle centers show that while
cattle have suffered the mortality has
been greatly exaggerated.

month OF july twenty-five, liza biiities $43

1897. liabilities $1,000 and assets $ll. 0OO.

ACADEMY BOYS IN TRAINING.

School for Good.

Candidates for places on the Wor-
cester Academy interscholastic athletic
team took their first work of the sea-
son Friday afternoon in the Academy
gymnasium. Although the boys have
been in school two or three days since
the Christmas holidays, it was not until
Friday that a call was issued for can
didates. The number of young men
who responded and the enthusiasm they
manifested, augurs well for a success

who won the points for Academy last
season being in school this year. With
Pouch Donovan, however, to look after
them. the students confidently believe
that some surprises will be developed
among the candidates.
The work Friday afternoon was nee

were logged around the track a num-
Der of times the sprinters took a little
practice in getting away from the mark
quickly, and the two or three men who
hope to do we'll in the walk wiggled
around the track a few times. The
work will be stiffened up by Pouch
Donovan pretty rapidly, for there is not
any too much time before the games.
The last Saturday III February has been

The Academy will send down a good

Academy students will have to look

them in the sprints this year. With
Robinson back again when the Academy
opened last fall, it was believed that
both sprints were practically safe in his
hands. while Duffy had a good chance
to come in second in each. But Rob-

under any conditions, return to school
for the remainder of the year. The

years has incurred such an immense out
lay as this. but the Franoo-Prussian war
cost, at the lowest estimate. g 500 900 600.
while the Crimean campaign involved an
expenditure Of 81. 7oo, 900 600, and The Russo
Turkish war OF 1871 over 81 0oo. e0o, 600
These sums undoubtedly represent the
cost OF the greatest OF the worlds wars
during the present century, but the S3So. =
100000 spent by Austria and Prussia IN
1866. and the $500. ooo. 900 which was the cost
OF the Italian war OF 1853 are not inconsid-
cradle items in the great bill OF interna-
tional burchery. Besides these, the Zulu
and Afghan wars Of 1878 cost about $3.50, :
900. 900; while $3.50. GOO, 900 is small estimate
for the various expeditions in Mexico,
Morocco. Paraguay and Cochin-C China.
The sum thus accounted for is over
81, 0O0, 0o0, o0o and the numerous smaller
struggles OF the last twenty years will
easily bring up the total to something like
the gigantic amount OF SIS. 900 ooo. 900, sum
which. n divided would allow about 81. &c
to every person on the globe. or rather
more than 5000 10 every man, woman and
child in London.
So much for the peouniary aspect OF
war. But what ABOUT me CcS& IN human
lives?
In the American civil war. which again
heads the black list the Northern states
lost about 81, GOO men and the Southern
states $50 900. total los sto America OF
500. 900 lives.
The Russo Turkish war was, in proper
ton to the money spent. still more de-
structive. no fewer than k25.00o men be-
ing slain, while the Franco-Prussian war
involved tn Gloss of 6o.oo mon to the vic
tors and over 10000 to the vAnqMshed.
The latter number also represents the
total loss during the Crfmean war. while
the italian war Of 1859 and the austrian
war OF 1865 each resulted in the daughter
of 10. oo0 man. Forty thousand lives were
sacrificed in the Zulu and Afghan cam
paigna. while the various expeditions TO
Mexico. Morocco. Paraguay and Cochin
China cost about 900 men.
This number brings the total UP 70 about
Z, 200 900 men, and the other wars Of less
Importance increase It to the appalling
number of 25oc,o0 human lives offered
up to the god OF war. at an average cost
