Trade Report.

Bradstreet's report for the past week,
is as follows:
Business is unusually dull at this
season and TINS year is no exception
! to the general rule is remarked. A
review of the past six months, how
ever, gives little comfort to pessimists-
Bank clearings, it is true, are smaller
by about II per cent than they were in
the first half of 1899, but railway earn
ings are about 10 per cent larger and
business failures are the fewest report

same, with one exception, and that last
year, since 1892.
Winter wheat has about all been har-
vested in the southwest and the yield
there has been large. Copious rains
in the northwest, too, have apparently
worked some improvement, Judging
from the more cheerful tone of adyices
received thence this week.
Wool is dull and manufacturers are
supplying only actual wants. Prices
are the lowest point reached this sea-
son, in sympathy with the lower open
ing of July wool sales at London
where finer grades are relatively weak
est. In manufacturing lines dullness
and weakness are most marked in pro-
ducts of iron and steel. Talk of an
effort by the great combine to control
prices in the latter industry is heard
but in the almost total lack of new
business, the basic material-pig iron
-weakens steadily with some authori-
ties predicting a 25 per cent reduction
from present prices, which are not at
tracing buyers.
The settlement of labor troubles is
reflected in the better demand for
building materials at affected centers,
while rains in the northwest have al
lowed white pine manufacturers to
open their works and give employment
to many thousands of men. Southern
pine prices are weak and the market
for that material is dull Anthracite

MINING NOTES.


A ten-stamp mill has been ordered
for the Oregon-Colorado mines in the
Quartzburg district in Oregon. Ten
tons of ore have been shipped to Sum-
pter
Within less than 100 miles from Spo-
kane and three miles west of the town
of Hope, Idaho, lies the Trestle Creek
mining camp. Quietly and unobstruc-
ted development work has been going
on here for the last two or three years,
but the outside world has heard but
little about this part of the Pend d.
Oreille mining district.
That a satisfactory agreement has
been made by the lead producers of the
United States for the securing of better
prices for their output at the meeting
held in New York recently is the i'm
portant statement recently made by
John A. Finch, of Spokane.
News comes from the Manila in Kel-
Ter camp that the ledge has been cross
ed for 105 feet and the wall is yet far
distant. 1t has always been believed
that the ledge was close to 140 feet wide
and this seems not improbable. Some
are of the opinion that the Cuba, which
is near it, and apparently has the same
ledge as the Manila, is destined to be
as good as the latter. Every practi-
cal mining man who comes from the
south half is imbued with the idea
that that section will soon become the
banner mining region of the state.
In the Palmer Mountain tunnel, at
LOOMS, Wash, the last 80 feet driven
has gone through formation highly
mineralized, giving assays each day
running from $3.47 to $37 in gold.
Yesterdays shot at the face broke into
we'll defined ledge, showing much
blue quartz full of mineral which may
prove one of the most important in the
history of the tunnel. This ledge is
In different formation from that of
the other %, and the good values pre-
ceding the cutting of the footwall make
the crossing and testing of this 23d
vein matter of special interest AS
all the mines close down to give the
men three days Fourth of July cele-
bration it will probably be the first of
next week before the Importance of
this strike can be determined.
AS a result of the latest move in the
Daly-Clark feud may come the closing
down of all, or nearly all, the smelters
In Butte. Clark's latest move was to
put DAILY in the worst kind of hole.
Either way the latter moves Clark will
profit. This Clark move is the agita-
ton for an eight-hour day for the min
ers, mine laborers, smelter men and
all others connected with that industry
here. 1t is generally believed that
August Heinze, who is now with Clark,
originated the move.
Clark employs only about 300 people
IN Butte, while DAILY and the corpora
lions in which he is interested employ
between 1000 and 5000. Friends of
DAILY assert that he has always kept
up wages despite Clark's efforts to low
er them. They say that Clark's big
force is employed in che United Verde
mine, at Jerome, Ariz., where the wage
scale is very low and an eight-hour dis
chssion is discouptenanced and frown-
ed upon. Recently Clark and Heinze
nave induced Butte labor men to start
an eight-hour day movement. Mr..

London, July S.-The foreign office has
issued the text of telegram from Acting

tilming from thoroughly trustworthy
sources the news received from Peking
July 3, by way of Shanghai, to the Lon
don Office of the inspectorate of Chinese
maritime customs, saying that two lega-
tons were, the day the courier left hold
ing out against the troops and Boxers, and
that the troops had lost 1000 men and the
Boxers many leaders. MIR. Warren adds
that the messenger says the troops were
much disheartened by their losses, and
that the Boxers claim their mystic powers
have been broken by the foreigners, and
that they dare not approach the legations.
1t is further asserted that the foreigners
at Picking ought to be able to hold out for
long time, as they have sufficient food
and ammunition.

Washington, July 1.-THE state repart-
the identical note which was recently de
liyered to the powers as defining the posi-
ton of the United States respecting the
Chinese troubles. 1t is understood that this
circular letter of instruction was drawn up
on the 3Oth of June and transmitted to-
Canton for the approval of the president
and communicated to the powers concerned
on the Sd of July. 1t embodies the views
to which this government has strictly ad-
hered from the very beginning of the pres
ent troubles, and which the different pow,
ers have one by one taken into favorable
consideration.
The announcement by the president at
the start that We did not consider our
selves at war with the Chinese nation and
that all our efforts should be directed tow
ard localizing the disturbances in the prov
ince of Chin Ii and keeping them from
spreading throughout the empire by en-
listing on the side OF peace the power OF
the viceroys of central and southern China.
has now apparently been adopted by all
the other powers. 1t is too soon TO proph-
esy the ultimate results, but thus far the
indications are all favorable. 1t will be-
seen that no answer from the different
powers was required or expected to the
circular of July ,, but it is understood
it has been everywhere favorably received
and that no objections have been made to-
it in any quarter. 1t is not true that there
has been any formation of groups or COM
binations of powers of any sort whatever
1t may be positively asserted, for instance,
that the cooperation OF France and the
United States has been most constant and
most cordial.

London, July Spy the average Brit
Usher the present situation in China is
generally referred to as "a crime OF the
powers" This view is shared by most
everybody not connected with the foreign
office. With the uncontradicted rumor
that the helpless European women and
children were tortured to death at Picking,
there has come home to all classes, all
papers and all parties, a keen, sickening
sense of Great Britain's helplessness.
Some 90 even farther, and describe Great
Britain's attitude as an ignominy I'M
equaled in her history. 1t must not be
gathered that this selfish criticism excludes
equally severe criticism upon the
other powers concerned. The preponder-
ance of criticism is only directed against
the home government in the hope that it
will bring some result. The cry Isl "What
is the good of Lord Salisbury saying that
the international understanding is har-
m3ny when that harmony will not let
Japan step in and save the lives of our
minister, and the men, women and child

American Troops AvniIat

Washington, July 8.-The issuing
of the formal orders for the dispatch
of more than 5000 troops from the army
posts of the United States was a mani
festation of the energy with which the
government is about to act in the Chi
nese matter. True, the nominal destina-
ton of these troops is the tAhppines, to
replace the volunteers now there, but it is
admitted that they are being sent out by
a route that will easily admit of defec-
ton to Taku or some other convenient
CD.nese port. Possibly Consul General
Goodnows cablegram reporting the lega-
tons as being alive as late as the Sd
instant may have something to do with
this radical action. Whatever the cause,
if these troops are landed in China, to-
gether with the Ninth infantry, supposed
to be now at Tallu, and the marine con-
tingent, the United States will have
force in action commensurate with her in
tersts and in proportion to the European
forces. Japan is to begin today with the
full consent of Europe and it is calculat-
ed that full foreign reinforcements, in
Guiding our own, will arrive in China, if
they are landed at all, in season to finish
the work left by the japanese.

and that recent attacks of the Boxers had

Murders of More Missionaries.
Jardine, Mathes & Co. of Shanghai have
telegraphed to their London house as fol
lows:
Shanghai, July S.-The British lega-
ton was standing July 2. There are re-
assuring reports regarding the lives of the
Europeans
London, July S.-There is one ray Of
hope regarding the fate of the legations at
Picking in yesterdays dispatches from
Washington and messages from other
scouces indicating that the legations were
still standing on July 3, and that recent
attacks by the boxers had been slight.
News from other points was distinctly
disquieting. A report from Chefoo, dated
July I, says the Catholic bishop, two
priests and TWO nuns have been murdered.
A report from Moukden, dated July s.,
says the Danish mission at Hin Yum was
surrounded by Boxers.
According to the report it would be pos
sibIe to hold out only two days. A party
of Cossacks, residents of Moukden, and the
British consul had started for the relief Of
those beseiged at the Danish mission.
The situation at Tientsin on July is
said to have been most serious. japanese
and Russian forces are reported to have
been hurying there from Taku, but ac-
cordng to some accounts mutual distrust
exists between the allies.

says the British war ships are vigilantly
watching for the purpose OF preventing
any attempt of the Chinese to cross the

The identity of the woman whose body

tlcles of clothing were retained to assist
in possible identification. The cloth
ing was identified a. belonging to Miss
Kate Tehan, domestic who was en-
ployed in Bellows Falls last fall, and

the river at Westmoreland, y. H.. by

macintosh, low shoes and black stock
ings. \ rumor was circulated that the
body was that of Miss Mary Ayres, the
