TRADE REVIEW.
Conditions in Commercial Circles as
Seen by the Dun and Brad
street Agencies.

New York, June 23-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: THE dam
age to the wheat crop of the north
west Is the event of chief Importance.
How extensive the loss may prove, in
view of widely conflicting accounts, can
only be judged from the speculative mar
kets in which information gathered at the
west has caused a remarkable advance,
at Chicago Is cents in ten days, and the
price here has advanced IL cents per
bushel, though for the September option
only nine cents. The belief Is that so
large part of the spring wheat has been
killed as to reduce yield expected to be
close to the largest on record to consider
ably less than the world has required
during the crop year now ending.
1.-THE closing of manufacturing works
at this season usually has a double mean
ing. The labor organizations see in the
summer vacation settlement of wages
for the coming year. Last year the pres
sure for produce was so great that con-
cessions were readily made and others
later, so that the rate of wages became
the highest ever known since the cur
rency was deprecated. This year extern
sive demands are being made without APP
proach to settlement as yet in many of
the branches of business, so that the
summer vacation may be more extensive
and in some lines longer than usual.
There will be time to work off excessive
stocks in some lines and to adjust prices
to a new basis for the latter half Of the
year.
THE shipments of boots and shoes
only 233, 743 cases in three weeks of June
are over 20 per cent. smaller than in
1899 or 1895, and smaller by ten per cent.
or more in other years. The jObbers still
appear inclined to wait, and some manu-
facturers decline quotations recently

"Fsiiures for the week have been rs

BTadstreets says Midsummer dull
ness in distrbutive trade and industry
and further reductions of prices of manu-
featured goods, particularly iron and
steel, and raw textiles, but a marked up.

products are the leading features of the
business situation this week. Wheat ha:

WINNING TICKET.
MahaskaR Republicans Select their
Standard Bearers.
The Ticket

Saturday was Republican day in
Oskaloosa, and the county conven-
ton was largely attended, not only
by delegaUes, but an unusually big
crowd OF spectators. Almost every
seat in The court house was occupied
when chairman Walling wrapped for
order and started the ball rolling.
The delegations had been provided
for with seats numbered and tagged
with placards showing the name Of
township and the number of dele
gates, and all the delegations had
their full quota present.
The temporary organization of the
convention was perfected and an,
nounsed as follows:
Byron w. Preston, chairman.
F. E. Smith, secretary.
C. H. Hare and B. P. Crank, as
sistants.
Mr.. Preston, on taking the chair,
thanked the convention for honors
conferred, and proceeded in a brief
but pointed way to analyze the situa-
tion of the occasion, which he did TO
the satisfaction of all his hearers.
He talked on the probable issues of
the campaign-trusts, imperialism,
etc. The speakers sentiments were
quite frequently applauded.
Mr.. Haskell moved that a commit
tee on credentials be appointed by
from each precinct.
Mr.. Kenworthy suggested that the
roll be called for representative for
committees of credentials, perma.
nent organization and resolutions,
and the convention so proceeded
with the following results:

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
NEEDLES, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio. is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars

MUTE ATTEMPTS (
I, MURDER.
Slabs a Woman in the
Neck and Then Twice
/ Attempts Suicide.

Winsted; Conn. March 49,
Mrs. Wadsworth Humphrey, ag d
over sixty, a respected citizen OF
CRANKY. is dying as the result of
won nds inflicted by Arthur Far
row, a deaf mute, thirty years old,
late yesterday afternoon. After
committing tine murderous assault,
Farrow twice attempted suicide, but
failed both times.
Farrow came to CRANKY from a.
deaf and dumb asylum, several
years ago, and has been considered
a harmless fellow. Recently he
went 10 work for Humphrey on his
farm. While Mrs. Humphrey
was alone yesterday afternoon he
silently entered the house crept up
behind the aged woman and stabbed
her several times with a long-bad-
ed Jackknife about the IL, ok and
shoulders.
Mrs. Humphrey ran to the
nearest ncighber, an eighth of a
mile away, where she told what
had happened, and fell unconscious
Frank Judd. who had heard Mrs.
Humphreys story. fastened to the
Humphrey farm, arriving just in
time to see Farrow with a rope in
his hand enter the barn. As Judd
entered the barn the deaf mute
d' Popped a rope. at one end of which
was a moose, and sprang toward
Judd. After brief struggle Far
low was overpowercd.
An examination showed that
farrow's windpipe was cut, but not
sufficient TO cause death.
Farrow is in Jail. Robbery is
to have been the motive
If the crime.
