The town of Embden, Somerset county
and the State of Maine, have lost a valu
able citizen by the death of Hon. An
drew j. Libby of Embden. He was one
of the best known and most prominent
agriculturists of Maine, who for great
many years made the business of breed
ing and buying and exhibiting fancy
cattle leading interest. He was a man
of excellent judgment, who never lost
faith in his native State and its capa-
bilties. As member OF the board of
Maine State Fair trustees his services
were Invaluable. His acquaintance was
very wide and he will be greatly missed.
Thus missed in the State, people OF
the town of Embden, where he lived and
where his personal Influence was most
directly felt, will realize his loss most
keenly.

Duns's Report.

Duns report of last week state: The
rise in iron and wheat is because scar
city is feared, but the scarcity if pro-
longed and real, would much impair
prosperity. In wheat it does not seem
to be real, nor in iron lasting, and mean
while other elements of prosperity
continue potent. 1t is great thing in
money markets that export of gold have
caused no apprehension, because re-
cognized as mere borrowings by foreign
bankers.
The scarcity of iron is real, in spite
of the greatest production ever known
in this or any other country, 256, 062
tons weekly, June l, against 256, 062
May 1. For stocks were reduced 70,092
tons in May, indicating a consumption
of /, 100, S66 tons, against 100000 tons
per month, last year, the greatest ever
known. Woolens gained little further
advance in clay worsteds and indigo
blues, with generally strong demand
and works well engaged. Cotton goods
have been fully sustained without ad-
vance in price by good demand. The
cotton market has not changed, doubts
about the coming yield being held in
check by certainty of large stocks on
hand.
Shipments of boots and shoes from
Boston were over 100000 pairs for the
week, and for two weeks 1S6,093 cases,
exceeded in the same week only in
1866 and slightly in 1894.
Corn exports are better sustained
than wheat, 5,S12,950 bushels in two
weeks, against 7,479, PAL, last year, and
the price has been steady.
Failures for the week have been 1876
in the United States, against 233, last
year, and Is in Canada, against 20, last
