Boston, Sept. 12.-The tone of the wool
market has been quiet during the past
week. although prices have held strong.

big transactions in territory woods on the
secured basis of 50@52c for fine medium

high as 55q57c. Fleece woods are firm, but

AUGUST WAS COOL.
The Hay Harvest Is About Ended-The
Potato Crop Good.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Sept. 12.-Director Glass of the
weather bureau. in compiling the data
for the month of august ascertains that
last month was the coolest of any August
in the 10 years record OF the office. The
average temperature for the month was
co., degrees. The nearest approach to
this record was August, 1887, which was
$50. The normal temperature for August
should be 66.4 so the past month was 6
degrees below normal.
The directors crop bulletin for the past
seven days, issued to-day. says of the
Montana crop conditions: The past week
has been favorable for harvest, with the
exception of the first three or four days
in the western portion of the state, where
unusually heavy rains fell in Flathead
county, causing considerable damage to
cut grain. Hay harvest is about ended
except the cutting in some localities of the
second crop of alfalfa. The potato crop is
reported as excellent in the extreme west
ern portion of the state, while in the
south and southwestern portions frosts
have greatly injured it.

GERMANY'S ATTITUDE.
As a Nation She VIII Not Boycott French
EXPOSITION.

Berlin, Sept. 1.-THE German COM
mission for the Paris exhibit, accom-
panied by three assistants, has gone
to Paris to complete arrangements for
the German exhibit This is generally
interpreted as indicating that Ger
many has no intention as nation OF
refraining from participating therein.
Many of the newspapers are pointing
out that the exhibition is not connect
ed with politics and they counsel mod
Grafton until the action of the other
nations is determined. Germany's ac-
ton, it is said, will be governed large
ly by that Of Great Britain, the Unit
ed States and Austria.
The Neuste Nachtrichen says 1t is
extremely improbable that Germany
will further interest herself in the
Dreyfus case by allowing documents
proving the innocence of Dreyfus and
Esterhazy's guilt to be published. But
the paper adds, there are reasons to
believe that should the French govern
ment officially apply for these papers
the documents would be produced with
out any hesitation.

THE MEAT WAR.
Advantages of Large Abbattoir in the
East.

East.
New York, Sept. 12.-Those who are
opposed secretly or openly to the eff
fort being made by retail butchers of
this city to fight the beef trust by
building an independent abbattoir of
large proportions in the East and the
operating of it on a cooperative basis.
have stated time and again that the
movement of the beef Strengthening
trade to the West has been a natural !,
one and that all efforts to bring it
East again must be abortive because
artificial and unnatural John Ban
non, editor of the national organ of
the Retail Butchers association. scouts
this story and declares that the theory
of constructing a large abbattoir here
would be a great incentive to the rails
ing of cattle in the East. The western
movement of the cattle slaughtering
business, he asserts, is the work of the
Big Five alone. There are hundreds
of thousands of acres of fine grazing
land in the East on which no cattle are
now raised, solely because there is a
poor home market for them. Many of
the cattle that are raised in the East.
Mr.. Bannon declares, are shipped to
Chicago, there slaughtered and ship
ped East again for consumption, two
freight charges being paid on them,
when only one is necessary.

London, Sept ia special dispatch
from Pretoria says the British note,

British and Dutch in the volksraad and
equality for the old and new burghers
in regard to presidential and other cleo
tons.
If the conditions are accepted con-
ference between representatives of the
two governments shall follow for the
purpose of drafting the necessary meas
ures and of avoiding the introduction
of unnecessary conditions by the
Transvaal government, or the posi-
bility of the passage of any new bills
calculated to defeat the reforms.
In view of the fact" the note goes
on to say. that the present state of
affairs in South Africa cannot be pro-
longed. the definite acceptance of this
proposal is demanded without delay.
Otherwise her majesty's government
will imme diately take the whole situa
ton under consideration and will act
so as to bring about settlement" The

saved this nation. Their reward should
be commensurate with their services.
If the burden should prove too heavy, |
am in favor of patriotic pension bond

have to be met from year to year. Let
posterity meet the bonds when they
