TWO FIRES.
Fire Department Called Upon to Ex-
tinguish Small Blazes.

The fire department was called upon
Yesterday to respond to a couple of
alarms. The fires which caused the
sounding of the bells, fortunately,
were extinguished in their incipiency
and the damage resulting in each in
stance Is slight.
The first alarm was rung in at about
/ o'clock yesterday morning. 1t was
for a fire on Front street, Just east
of Chestnut. The blaze originated in
shed attached to an extension OF a
boarding house conducted by Lottie
Hill. There We're several roomers IN
a building adjacent to the shed, but
fortunately the flames did not reach
these apartments and the damage was
confined to the destruction OF some
woodwork and other material of an IN
expensive character
The second fire occurred in the rear
of the Buffet restaurant on CONNER
cial avenue. This, like the Front street
fire was of unknown origin. The blaze
started in a little room that one OF the
employees formerly occupied as a Sleep
ing apartment. The ire mad galaeu
right neat little start before the de-
partment could reach it, but by quick
work the flames were eXtinguished be-
fore any great amount of damage was
done The loss here also will be fully
| covered by $50.

GIVE THEM A TRIAL.
The Model Steam Laundry Washes Cloth
ing Without Destroying 1t.

The Model Steam laundry at No. 300
East Commercial avenue is new ven
ture in Anaconda but it has come to
stay. The laundry is equipped through
out with the very latest patterns of
laundry machinery, and the work
turned out is of the very finest. The
new laundry merits the patronage of
the people of Anaconda and custom is
fast coming to it. The laundry en-
ploys none but the highest grade of
skilled labor and every man and wo-
man is union workman. One thing is
certain, and that is that the Model does
not destroy the garments sent to it for
cleansings, as is SO often done in other
laundries where cheap and inexper:
enced help is employed. The members
of the new firm make 1t a point to at
tend strictly to every detail of the bust
| ness, knowing that direct personal SUI
pervision is the only element that posi-
lively insures promptness and eff
cheney. A single trial will convince
any one that the Model is the laundry
to patronize. The telephone number for
the Model is IT, call from which will
| receive immediate attention.

such as city hall, Rock Springs, Wyo.;
school house, Mountain Home, Idaho:
Sewer county court house, Sewer coun-
ty, Utah: Walker Brothers Mercantile
llock, Salt Lake City; Masonic hall.
Sait Lake City: experimenting city
and county building, Salt Lake City,
Utah, and numerous other stores and
public buildings.
Some Of the more prominent buildings
in the plans for which Mr. Smith was
interested during the time of his asso-
citation with II. n. Black, and prior to
the formation of the present firm, are
the following: Lincoln school building,
Walsh & Toole building, Peckham &
Frinke building, Strickfaden building,
the Durston building and number Of
others.

A THING TO BE PROUD OF.
People of Deer Lodge County Have Good
Cause to Congratulate Themselves.

On the 25th day of next month it
will be just two years since the people
of Deer Lodge county voted a generous
sum of money for the building of a
new court house. The amount asked
for by the county commissioners was
100000. With that they pledged them
selves to build a court house that
would be ample for the needs of the
county for years to come and at the
same time structure to which the
citizens could point with pardonable
pride

DRY GOODS.
DRY GOODS.

Bradstreet's.
The market at Boston is firm in
most departments, with business gem
orally quiet. Cotton fabrics show no
weakness, gray goods being heavily
contracted ahead and buyers are try
ing to hurry deliveries. Bleached
cottons are steady, with colored firm,
and the outlook is strong. The move
ment in printed fabrics is quiet, but
fall goods are being taken to some eX-
tent on the new basis of prices. The
call for summer supplies is falling Off
and dealers are preparing for the fall
season. Ginghams are quiet, but the
market holds steady. Dress Woolens
are quiet at first hands, but fall styles
are we'll ordered as rule. The high
cost of raw materials has strengthened
prices. Jobbers are doing a fair busl-
ness in fall styles. Mems wear wool
ems are firm. with free orders for light
weights being placed The tendency
is toward higher prices.
NEW YORK, August 5.-The usual
half holiday dizziness has pervaded the
market but without any indications OF
weakness in any quarter. recorders
from iobbers form the principal under
tone to the market. These requests
come from converters in large meas
ure who are using large quantities OF
cloth. This demand has confirmed
the recent advance in gray cloths
which are stiff at the advance. Regu-
lar print cloths have continued firm
and business at full prices is recorded
from various quarters. An lnflux OF
BUYERS is expected next week VINO are
coming with the determination to pur--
chase literally. Stocks in second
hands throughout the country are IN
admirable shape and will need a GOOD
deal of replenishing to be in readiness
for the fall trade. Woolens are firm

Present sales show territory grades
moving best. most business being on
the secured basis of so to 50 cents for
fine medium and fine. with staple lots
at 54@57 cents. Bids on some good
lines of greasy lots u cent below the
asking price of dealers, have been
made. the lots running up into the
millions of pounds. Dealers are very
firm in their views and lock for higher
prices. Lots in growers hands in the
west are well absorbed. Fleece woods
are firm on the higher basis and some
fair lines hae been cleaned up. Aus
tralian woods are scarce, on secured
basis OF zSGS2 cents. Carpet woods
are quiet, but steady.

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, August 5.-Dull and irreg-
ular markets prevailed on the board
Of trade to-day. Weakness of corn and
favorable crop conditions were features
in a decline CT AW3sc in wheat. Coarse
grains showed the most weakness in
new crop futures, December corn clos
ing 1l@3sc lower, September losing only
a shade September oats closed a shade
higher and December sc lower. Pro-
visions declined 7h01212c. Opening
trades in wheat, both for December and
September, were at slight declines from
yesterdays prices, September starting
A@$sc lower at 692s @6912c, and in the
couIse Of the next half hours trading
the price took further drop to 69Ac.
English markets were closed and do
nestle news was more CT less color
less as a rule and the interest in leading
was small. even at the opening.
Sellers were in the majority, however.
The weather in the northwest was fa-
yorable for harvesting operations and
Kansas State crop report predicted
large crops of both wheat and corn the
condition of the latter being put at
100. This developed weakness in corn
and the narrow wheat market sympa-
thized to some extent with the drop in
the coarser grain. There was some SELL
ing by yesterdays buyers also en- the
favorable northwest crop conditions. A
feature which encouraged the bulls was
the continued small proportion of new
wheat arrivals and the falling in re-
ceipts in the northwest Minneapolis
and Duluth received 240 cars, against
loc Chi
cago receipts were 70 cars, II of con-
tract grade. Total receipts at primary
points were CTS, 600 bushels.
A moderate covering movement start
ed at the decline to 69As; some buying
was also done against weekly puts and
by IL o'clock the September prices re-
covered to 695sc. The demand was
better for deferred futures than for
September, considerable changing be-
ing done from September 10 December,

ately active. There was general selling

NEW YORK, August 5.-STOCKS-
There was not much doing in the stock
market to-day. The half holiday on
Saturday takes away many active OPP
orators on holiday trips. The London
exchange was closed and will be again
on Monday thus subtracting an appre-
cable factor in the usual activity
Nevertheless, the days dealings were
a fairly accurate reflection Of specula-
tive opinion on general conditions.
There was some disposition.to advance
prices in the arely dealings on account
of the uniformly favorable reports OF
business in all branches contained in
the weekly reports of commercial ag-
encies. But this very condition is a
factor in the anxiety over the money
outlook which again dominated senti
ment as the time approached for the
publication of the weekly bank state
ment. Money is in such large demand
that the available supply for specula-
tive uses is greatly curtailed. The
bank statement, when it appeared was
again weak beyond all expectation.
With forced liquidation in progress
at some points in Europe and with a
possible demand for money to move
the crops the statement brought sell
ing of stocks and a general sharp de-
O. chtYrse

burg and gulf, however, rose from Il
to ga. American smelling and Amer
lean car preferred showed some signs
of strength. Otherwise the market
closed weak and lower all around.
The stock market indicated during
the week disposition to move up
wards, but was restrained by several
conditions, most notable Of which was
the continued anxiety over the future
of the money market. The money
rate through the week held stifly at
about 4 per cent. In spite of the ele-
ments of doubt and the absence Of
majority of big operators and leading
spirits on vacation trips, business has
shown a notable increase over last
weeks figures and the average level of
prices is higher. This is most nota-
bly, true in the industrial stocks on ac-
count of the great activity and pros
perity in all kinds of business, espe-
cially the iron and steel industry.
Events in the financial world continue
to shape themselves toward higher
rate for money for some time to come.
There is evidence that in the general
tide of prosperity the extension of
credits in some quarters has been on
so liberal a scale as to draw down re-
serves below the point of sufficient Sc
curity from a conservative standpoint.
Thus, the Bank of England and the
continental banks have been strug-
