Weekly REVIEW OF TRklE.
Commercial Reports Show Good
Business Conditions.
FEW FAILURES DURING JULY.
Financial Power of This Country Recog-
nized Abroad-Our Industrial Products
In Lively Demand Across the Water
Market for Wool.

New York, Aug. 7.-R. G. Dun & Co.
in their weekly review of trade, say:
July failures have been smaller
than in any month of which there is
record excepting May, and trading
failures smaller than in any other
month.
London again recognizes the finan-
cial power Of this country. The Bank
of England virtually admits that it
cannot draw from New York the gold
1t needs; exchange moves to the i'm
porting point; over 100000 starts
from Sydney to San Francisco. Lon
don's net buying of stocks has been
10000 shares, and bills against prod
uce to be shipped are very heavy.
This describes a revolution in
finances not unlike that in industries,
Europe searching for wool here at so
cents secured and for pig iron at $40
a ton. A vast demand for both ma
terials has fallen upon the CONNER
clal world, which this country alone
appears able to meet for it's own
needs. Wool shipments from Aus
tralia have been surprisingly little be-
low those of last year, but Europe
talks of a wool famine, while this
country has on hand a years consump-
tlon or more, besides this years clip,
and prices are not yet as high as they
were in February of last year, when
stocks were many million pounds
larger.
Failure for the week have been 1872
in the United States, against 1876 last
year, and % in Canada, against 81 last
year"
Bradstreets's says:
All signs indicate the maintenance
of general trade and industry in an
unprecedented midsummer volume.
Western and northwestern trade ad-
vices tell of expanding fall trade.
Shipments on fall account from Min
neapolis tax the facilities at Chicago.
Wheat Gncluding fiour) shipments
for the week aggregate ALL 14 BUSH
els, against 1856, 432 bushels last week.
4,l11,312 bushels in the corresponding
week Of 1898. Since July / the ex-
ports of wheat aggregate 1S,5OS, 900

Barbara RuthaIa Begins Suit against Her
Husbands Brother.

CLINTON, August 5.-Barbara Ruth
ala, through her attorney II. w. Hall,
has filed suit IN the district court of
Clinton county against Joseph Ruth
ala in the sum of $50, 900. There are
three counts in the petition. One for

sulting from an alleged assault, the

"did entice plaintiffs husband from
her by falsely telling him and divers
other persons that plaintiff was pros
titute n thief and a murdereSS; that
said plaintiff would choke her hus-
band, that defendant tried to prevent
the marriage of plaintiff and has made
trouble and was the direct cause of
her husbands separation from her, in
consequence of which said NJ. J. Buth-
alas affections for plaintiff Were
alicnatcd, by reason Of which she has
lost her husbands society and comfort
and has been damage TO the extent of
$4,000" In the second count, where
she alleges SANDER, she makes prac-
tically the same allegations.

FRANKFORT, Ky, August 4.-Gov-
ernor Bradley has issued message to
the press, public and Legislature. on
the Clay county situation. He says
in part:
1t is said ! might order every body
dlsarmed in Clay county. The consti-
tuition guarantees to the citizen the
right to bear arms openly, and such
persons could not lawfully be disarm-
ed unless engaged in some act mani
testify disposition to break the
peace. l know nothing practically
concerning the position occupied by
the peace officers of Clay county to-
wards the Whites CT Bakers; but do
know that in no instance has one of
them called on me for aid, and nat
urally concluded that they are entire
ly willing that matters should con-
tinue as they are and have been for
some time. The whole fault in Clay
county is a vitiated public sentiment
and a failure of the civil authorities
to do their duty. The laws are insult
ficient to allow the governor to apply
a remedy. Such feuds have been in
progress, more or less, for years, and
no governor of the state has ever been
able to quell them.

EMPLOY INSTITUTION LABOR.
Judge Kinne, OF the Board of Control.
Makes "A Reporf


Judge Kline, OF the Board of Control.
Makes a Report.
DIES MONIES, August The ones
ton of employing the labor of the in
mates of the state institutions is one
to which the state board of control
has directed considerable attention.
Recently Judge Klnne, of the board.
and Supt. NJ. f. Gass, of the Soldiers
Orphans Home at Davenport. went
east to visit the institutions of other
states with view to investigating
the industries connected with these
institutions, and to find industries
which would be adapted to the condi-
lions surrounding the Iowa institu-
lions. Their report has just been sub
United. The committee finds that
nearly all state institutions have in
connection with them certain indus
tries. Nearly all make and repair
the clothing they use, many making
clothing for the other institutions in
their own state, some making furni-
ture for the institutions, and MANY
making boots and shoes for their sis
ter institutions. 1t is found that the
contract plan, the piece plan and the
state account plan are all followed in
the maintenance of the industries.
The committee decides from it's inves-
tigation that the contract plan is the
best, the piece price plan the next, and
the state account plan the least desir-
able, except for the making of sup
plies for the other institutions which
the committee feels should be inaug-
urated

WASHINGTON, August 3.-Advices re-
ceived by Surgeon General Wyman up
TO o'clock last night from Hampton,
Va, show that the only change in the
yellow fever situation is in the addi-
ton of four suspected cases to those
already in existence. These have been
sent from the camp to the hospital.
This information and the additional
statement that there had not been a
death since o'clock Tuesday evening
and that everything with reference to
the disease is more favorable, was re-
ceived from Governor p. Il. Woodin,
of the Soldiers Home. He also wired
that he is quite sure the pestilence
will be stamped out. From DR.. White,
who has general charge Of affairs at
Hampton, but who remains away from
the institutions, word came that the
situation is unchanged.

RESULTS OF CONFERENCE.
Cars Personal Organ Reviews TIN
Situation.

Situation.
ST. PETERSBURG, August 4.--The
official Messenger publishes a govern
ment communication reviewing length
lily the result of The Hague peace
conference. After referring to the
sympathetic reception of the powers
accorded the czar's ''magnanimous APP.
peal for peace, it proceeds:
The results Of the conference fully
come up to the expec tations of the
government. 1t has been found
necessary for the conference to post
pone definite settlement of the COM
plicated question of the suspension of
ornaments until elucdated by the
different governments. Nevertheless,
the tightening of the military burdens
has already been admitted by an
unanimous resolution to be urgently
desirable for all nations. On the
other hand the labors of the con fer
ence will doubtless exercise influence
in regulating customs of war and stop
ping crnelties. The various states
have agreed to use all resources in
favor of the maintenance of peace and
the abolition of war. Now the es-
tablished fact of mediation, which
hitherto has depended on good will of
states interested can hence be offered
by third power on its own
initiative"
The communication concludes:
"Without impairing the sovereign
rights of individual states, the results
afford fresh basis for international
peace. The necessity for the solution
of the ears proposals. will be admit
ted by all the powers and the march
of events will Indicate the means to
be employed in securing the welfare
Of mankind and the full attainment
of objects in view"
