BUSINESS LOOKS UP.
Due to the Encouraging Features of
the Western Crop Situation.

Due to the Encouraging Features of
the Western Crop Situation.
New York, July Is. = Bradstreets'
says: While trade is still Of only mid
summer volume the beginnings of i'm
provement in demand are apparently
becoming visible. The improvement is
still one of tone rather than of actual
demand, but with, as seems probable,
yield of 54O,O0O,0OO bushels of wheat,
next to record breaking yield of corn,
and very large production of oats,
the Western crop situation contains
many encouraging features. The
Southern cotton crop has undoubtedly
suffered and its condition is unprece-
.dentedly low for this season of the
year, but the acreage planted is large
one and prices are so much higher that
a satisfactory financial return is conf
IDENTIFY locked for. In addition railroad
earrings point to maintenance Of the
business of the country at volume in
excess of last year.

mountain "feudists' to Frankfort, of
the band of mountain men, 175 Of
whom were retained in Frankfort reg
ularly He charged that a majority of
them had killed from one to seven men
each. He declared that evidence
would be produced that on Jan. %
Powers said that "Goebel has. not as
many days to live as l have fingers on
my hands, D. Mead Woodson, eX-
city engineer of Frankfort, who made
the measurements by which the prose-
cution will attempt to prove that the
shot was fired from Powers Office, was
the first witness placed on the stand.

Philadelphia, July IA. = The bark
Calcium, Capt. Smith, from Ivigtu,
Greenland, arrived here yesterday with
a cargo of corolite. The bark was eX-

Peary, who is in the Arctic regions in
quest Of the North Pole, but there was
much disappointment felt by the crowd
which was waiting for the bark at the
wharf when Capt. Smith announced

Capt. Smith said the past winter in
Greenland was one of the worst in

Peary and his party must have suffered
considerable hardships from the severe
weather The natives in that locality,
Capt Smith said, suffered severely,
and were generally in poor condition.
The bark was ice-bound for over a
month off Greenland, and the ice peak
reached from 100 to $50 miles off the
shore.
