ChurchiII-West wedding.

London, July 29.-Lady Randolph
Churchill (nee Jerome) was Saturday
married to Lieutenant George Corvallis
West at ST. Paul's church, Knights Bridge
The church was thronged with handsomely
dressed women. There was no restriction
upon the number admitted to the church
to witness the ceremony except the Ca
pacity of the church; but only relatives
and intimate friends were hidden to the
subsequent wedding breakfast, and no re.
ceptlon was held.

Before o'clock crowds had collected out.
side the church gates. BY lO:l5 the
crowds had swelled to enormous proper
tons. The late opening of the church
doors caused great inconvenience to early
guests, who were pushed here and there
and almost swept from their feet when
the gates were actually opened, and rush
was made for the doors by the crowds,
fighting and pushing to enter the church.
1t was only with the aid of policemen
that they were controlled
The church was not overcrowded. 1t
was sparsely adorned with palms and
white blossoms. The two front pews
which had been reserved for the family
of the bride were quite unoccupied, while
the CORVALLIS West family was not rep

Board of Trade EnjOined.

porarily restraining the board OF trade
from cutting off its market quotations
service or from entering into any COM
bination or contract with the telegraph
companies which will restrict the general
public from getting the quotations. The
injunction is broad enough, it is asserted,
to prevent the board from interfering in
any way with the Western Union Tele-
graph company in gathering and distribut-
ing the market reports to the present sub
scribers of the telegraph company's mar
ket service.
In its complaint the Central Stock and
Grain exchange says that should the mar
ket reports be cut off the petitioners bus
mess would be greatly injured.

Ensiana D,.tru..ful Of China,

London, July 29.-Last week of rurnors,
edicts and Chinese protestations by the
score ends with England as firmly con-
WINGED as ever that the ministers at Pc
kin have been massacred. Not only that,
but in the determined attempts on the
part of the Chinese authorities to convince
the world of the truth of their assertions,
prominent organs of public opinion are
unanimous in seeing a desperate plot on
the part of the Chinese government to de-
lay the day OF retribution in the hope that
the powers will become embroiled among
themselves. The Chinese declarations have,
i'll fact, aggravated, rather than ameliorat-
ed the feeling against the eastern empire.
Archibald Ross Colquhoun, the distin-
guised geographer and correspondent of
the Times during the Franco Chinese war
of lSS3-S4, in an able review of the situa-
ton technically declares: "What we want
is not knowledge, however profound, from
the Chinese; rather would we strengthen
the hands of Admiral Seymour or some
other commander, throw ourselves bravely
into the breach and, if necessary, take
some risks. No big thing has ever been
done without certain amount of risk"

TRADE REPORTS.

New York-Bradstreet' report for
the past week says:
Important changes in trade and spec
ulation are notably lacking this week
but counter currents of demand in var
lous sections and industries lend a
rather more than usually irregular ap-
pearance to the general situation.
Among the notable features calling for
notice are the practical assurance of
an immense corn crop by the recent
copious rains in the further west, the
continued cheerful reports from the
sections which have gathered and are
now gathering a large winter wheat
crop, advices of continued improvement
in tone in the northwest, with reports
of renewals of earlier Cancelled orders
for fall goods, fairly satisfactory gains
in gross railway earnings, less weak
ness in prices of the country's leading
cereal products based apparently on
renewed buying for export and rather
more inquiry for raw wool by manu-
facturers.
Unfavorable elements in trade prob
ably find their chief and greatest ex-
position in the iron and steel business.
That industry is, If possible, more de-
pressed than at any time for three
years past, and expectations that price
declines will be checked by the arrival
of finished matter at cost basis have
been disappointed, because this week
steel bars have been sold in some in
stances at one cent per pound, which is
unquestionably below the basis of the
cost of raw materials and manufacture.
That a large tonnage of this material
and southern pig iron has been worked
off seems certain, but it is still buy
er's market, with everything that this
implies.
Export business would undoubtedly
expand if ship room were available.
Among other metals tin is locally lower
on freer arrivals, after touching the
highest price in 20 years.
Rather more inquiry for wool at east
ern markets is sign of manufacturers
getting ready for the lightweight sea-
son.
Wheat (including -FOUR shipments
for the week aggregate 2,363,743 BUSH
els, against 3,029, 1881 bushels last week,
3,366,432 bushels in the corresponding
week of 1899, 2,371,S72 bushels in 1898,
2,34s,021 bushels in 1897 and 2,64S,74S
bushels in 1896.
From July 1 to date this season
wheat exports are 11,241,S14 bushels,

and 1881 $40 bushels in 189S-99.
