The Business Outlook.

New features in the general trade sit
uation this week are of an almost uni
formly favorable character. Addi-
tional statistics of past trade move
ments received are certainly of an en-
couraging nature, foremost among these
being exceptionally good railroad earn
ings, returns for June and the first half
or the year, and ascertained totals of an
enormous export trade, practically
equal to the phenomenal business of the
preceding fiscal year.
In industrial lines the outlook is a
promising one. The settlement of the
coal miners strike in Pennsylvania and
of the tin plate workers dispute bid fair
to result in nearly 10000 men resuming
work after the summer shutdown. A
number Of wage increases are also
among the weeks developments.
The iron blast furnace reports for July
point to an unprecedented current
weekly production, but available stocks
OF pigiron are down to less than one
weeks supply. From several centers
of industrial activity come reports Of
scarcity of labor, mitigating against
even more pronounced activity.
The prices situation is naturally n
strong one, wheat and coffee alone of
all the prominent staples being lower
on the week, and the former only frac-
tionally so, owing to large receipts at
the west, and to the check to export
demand caused by reaction from the
price reached some time ago. All the
cereals are higher, as are also pork and
dairy products. Cotton is also slightly
higher. Miscellaneous metals, notably
copper, tin and lead, are all higher on the
week, and the boom in tin Is attracting
attention second only to that noted in
hon.
Distributive trade advices are favor
able, particularly in drygoods, boots and
Shoes and while fail trade is not yet in
full swing at all centers, the volume Of
business booked, and the movement of
goods to distributors is heavy. The
firmer grades of wool have been again
advanced, and advices from the wooden
goods and clothing trades generally are
encouraging.

Worcester, Mass. July 1S.-The body
of William S. Barton. former city treas
urer, who disappeared from his home
Tuesday night, was found Sunday in
field on the Dudley farm In West Rut-
land, 10 miles from Worcester. The de-
cision of the medical examiner was that
death was due to exhaustion. Mr.. Bar
ton was treasurer of Worcester from 1872
until January, 1899. For the past few
years the increase in duties of the office
wore upon him, and upon cessation Of
work his mind became affected, and he
was at loss to pass his time. He took
frequent walks into the country, roam
ing in the fields in boyish enjoyment
Tuesday he left his home at $50, and the
last seen of him was late that night in
the western part of the city, near the
home of his daughter.
