TRADE REVIEW.
Conditions I'm Commercial Circles as
Seen by the Dun ana Brad
street Agencies.

New York, June 2a.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: 1.-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 mas caused II remarkable advance,
at chicago 10 cents in ten days. and the
price here has advanced II cents per
pushel. though for the September option
only nine cents. The belief is that so
large a part of the spring wheat has been
KILLED as to reduce a yield expected to be
ciose to the largest on record to consider
amy less than the world has required
curing the crop year now ending.
me closing of manufacturing works
at this season usually has double mean
ing. The labor organizations see in the
summer vacation Il settlement of wages
Tor the coming year. Last year the pres
sure for produce was so great that con-
sessions were readily made and others
later so that the rate of wages became
inc highest ever known since the cur
rency was deprecated. This year extern
slVe demands are being made without APP
proach to settlement as vet in many of
lhe 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

to a new basis for the latter half of the

citles to Take Action Which VIII
Stop Labor Trouble.

Chicago, June 27.-At 2:15 this morn
ing the Bricklayers' union withdrew
from the Building Trades council. 1t
is said this marks the practical end
of the strike that has been in progress
for months, tying up building opera
tons in Chicago and keeping many
thousands of men idle. The strike has
lasted from October, 1899, until now
involving loss in wages to laborers
in and within a radius of 100 miles of
Chicago of $150,000 day. About 50 ,OOG
men are said to have been idle most OF
the time. Not since the great railroad
strike of 1894 has there been strike
in this country which approached the
proportions of that among the building
trades in Chicago.

TO PREVENT BADNESS.
Few Suggestions for PrescrvinR
the Hair by an Instructor in
DermatolOEy.

The men Of my fathers generation
habitually used pomades on the scalp.
To protect the hair coverings from
the grease on their heads tides came
into vogue. Then, says the Medical
News, the pendulum swung the other
way, and now pomades of all kinds
are tabooed. That there has been
great Increase in badness among
young men of the present generation
IS a general impression, although I
know of no statistics to support or
refute it. Some is years ago, when I
| first became interested in the study
of diseases of the hair, accepted the
teaching of the time that pomades
did no good, and, becoming rancid,
did positive harm. With charging ex-
perience 1 am becoming more and
more convinced that was wrong and
that one reason why the hair is lost
SO early nowadays is because the sons
have forgotten the teachings and
practice of their fathers in regard to
the use of pomades. They neither use
pomades nor seek to stimulate the
natural oily supply to the hair by
systematic brushing. Instead, they
daily wet their heads with water to
enable them to arrange their hair.
BY not using pomades and by wetting
the hair instead of brushing it their
hair becomes more and more dry,
dandruff increases and their hair falls,
believe that if boys were trained to
brush their hair thoroughly every
night and morning and had little
pomade that would not turn rancid,
such as contains sulphur or salycilie
acid, for instance, rubbed into their
scalps once week or so, and avoided
wetting their heads, badness in the
rising generation would not be SO
prevalent as it is in this.
