FIGHTING SHIPS FOR JAPAN.
Authorities Decide Upon Their Third
Naval Programme.

VICTORIA, B. C., June 15.-From Japan
comes the information that, in view OF
the proposed immense augmentation OF the
naval forces OF other powers, the Japanese
authorities are about to enter on their
third naval programme, as it is termed in
eontradis;inction to the first and second
programmes already carried out.
The Nagasah press says that probably
the estimates will be submitted to the
Fifteenth Diet. The interest accruing on
the naval funds amounts to three million
yen per annum. This sum Is to be aug
mented by two million yen from the treas.
ury, and thus five million ye.i will be
yearly devoted to the scheme. a sum Just
sufficient to cover one-third of the cost Of
a battleship, provided the price of steel
and other material remains at the present
rate. But the chances are that the price
Of material will increase year after year,
and by the time fifteen million yen is COL
lected it will be found inadequate for de-
fraying the cost.
Such Is the opinion held by naval ex-
perts. and men like Admiral Inouey ac-
cordingly recommend the construction of
torpedo destroyers. This class of boats
costs about half million yen, so that
thirty destroyers can be built for the price
of one battIeship
The recent naval maneuvres clearly
demonstrated their efficiency In fact, 1t
has been sufficiently proved TO the Japan
csc mind that even a battleship would have
small chance of escape if attacked by a
number of destroyers
The torpedo store ship, which was to be
built according to the second programme.
has been abandoned and more destroyers
will be built instead. 1t is anticipated that
the third programme will authorize the
construction of the torpedo boat destroyers.

DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.
The REIMBURSEMENT of Prices IL
Wholesome Progress.


NEW YORK, June 15.-Duns review to-
morrow will say:
"a season of declining prices is never
wholly agreeable to business men whose
stocks on hand are losing part of their
value Yet there are times when return
to the highest prosperity in business is
not possible except through reimbursement
of prices. Having shown for six months
that great industries depend for prosperity
upon restoration of normal prices, Dun's
review has given in such tables as were
printed last week ample proof that this
readlustment was in wholesome progress.
The volume of business continues large,
especially in States south of the Potomac
and west of Pennsylvania. Speculation
and the creation of new securities swelled
business at New York, Boston, and some
other Eastern cities last year. But, beyond
this narrow section, the volume Of trade is
this year the largest ever known. and on
the whole shows no signs of abatement.
The official reports hold out fair promise
OF good crops this year, and the demand
for staple farm products has run close TO
the largest ever known, while the exports
of manufactured products have been, III
eleven months ended with May, about q
per cent larger than in any previous
year. -.a
The output of iron furnaces June 1 was
296.3TG tons weekly, an increase Of 2,526
tons. But the increase of unsold stocks
to 339, $50 tons, about $4,000 tons In May,
dscloses a larger decline than was ex-
pecteG in the new business. Prices are
lly bap NJ
500 and Pittsburg grey forge to $3.50. and
sales of bars are reported there at s15O.
Reconstruction moves slowly in cotton
goods, though few quotations are slightly
reduced, the uncertain shifting In the mar
ket for raw cotton having some influence
and the hating of exports to China on
account of the interior strife there. As
European manufacture is likely to be af-
fected In the same way, the present condi-
lions help these who look for lower prices
in the goods market.
NO further change appears this week
in the wool markets. although their stag
nation. with irregular prices for goods be-
yond the most favored staples, still indi-
Gates a downward tendency. Silk and
hemp have also gone lower. and the re-
cent fall in rubber helps new business.
Financial changes are not of impoi lance.

the resignation in the hope that Mr..

now his turn to do a little kicking against

expected that he will insist upon the Pres
lent accepting his resignation.

BRADsTREET's ON THE WEEK.
Conditions Which Make Trade Look
Worse Than II Is.

worse Thnn 1t IL.
NEW YORK, June 15.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Measured by recent records and recol-
lections of business activity, the present
between seasons dullness seems specially
marked and the reactionary movement of
prices makes trade look worse than it
really is. Judged by such indicators as
railroad earnings and the statistics OF
foreign trade the volume of business do
ing is considerably larger than a year ago,
when 1t will be recalled trade was cheer
fully active. 1t is true bank clearings are
considerably smaller than last year. TAX
ing the country as a whole, but last years
cleariugs undoubtedly included much Of
a speculative character, this year almost
wholly absent, and yet, outside OF the
metropolis bank clearings are heavier
this year than last.
These features cover the measurable
side OF the trade situation. The detailed
reports from the various markets reflect
varying business and crop conditions in
the sections reported. In the States OF
Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri. and, in
fact, throughout the Southwest. good crop
reports. In the Northwest, however, the
crop situation Is not entirely favorable,
and conservatism in buying is feature.
The cereal markets have held the bulk
Of the advance shown last week on the
strength OF bad crop reports, but foreign
recognition Of conditions here has lot
sought the direction OF increased takings.
THE June reports of American crops
indicate that record breaking yields are
not to be looked for this year in any line.
The cotton acreage will be larger, but
the condition is much below the average,
particularly in the heaviest producing
State, Texas. Reflection of this is found
in the advance of lac in spot cotton, and
of slightly smaller relative gain in the
next crop deliveries. In manufactured
textiles dullness Is still the feature.
Wool is dull and, on the whole, weak at
the East while good prices have been
secured in the West. Lower prices for
iron and steel have not met expectations
of causing reduction in output and the
latest furnace report indicates an actually
larger output and increased stocks, though
this latter feature apparently has been
magnified because supplies Of high grade
pig iron are still scarce, particularly so
at the South. On the other hand, low
grades are in plenteous supply, with lit
tie demand.
The industrial situation is an irregular
one. but on the whole is better, owing
to the ending of building trade strikes at
the probability that the
great Chicago strike may be settled within
a week and the practical failure of the
ST. Louis street car strike, which has
Frustrated business in that city.
