TRADE WILL NOT SUFFER.
Disturbances in Steel Districts Will
Not CurtaiI Demand for Goods.


Not CurtaiI Demand for Goods.
Anxiety regarding unfavorable posi-
bilities in the future rather than any ac-
tual present misfortune depressed securi-
ties and caused cancellation of some or
ders for merchandise by western dealers.
Retail distribution of goods will not be
curtailed by the labor controversy unless
1t is of long duration, as the men have
saved money during the recent period of
full employment at high wages. Similar
ly, in some agricultural districts, where
there is fear that little corn win be har-
vested, preceding bumper crops at good
prices have put farmers in such prosper
GUS condition that their purchases will
not fall off materially, while the greatest
crop of wheat on record has not brought
return to the low prices of previous
heavy yields" according to r. G. Dun *
Co.'s weekly review of trade. Continu-
ing, the report says: Atlantic exports
show large gain over last years figures,
for the week amounting 10 3.902,I15
bushels, against /, 81 .S61 a year ago.
Failures for the week numbered 1913 in
the United States, against 231 last year,

AWFUL HEAT IN THE WEST.
Temperature Over 100 Degrees in
Mogt Cities.

Most Cities.
For two weeks past from throughout
the West have come reports of prayer
meetings held for the especial purpose Of
praying for rain and a cooler tempera-
ture. At no place has it been reported
at this writing that the prayer service
has been followed by relief. At the same
time, while the number of prostrations
was immense, the deaths were few COM
pared to the awful records made during
the hot spell in the East early in the
month. New heat records made on Sat
urday in many cities were curled up and
burned to nothing by the still newer rec
ords of Sunday. The corn belt has about
given up hoping for relief, and now the
farmers are looking to their vegetables
and fruit, some of which may be saved,
but most of which is simply burning up
for want of water. Many towns report
outdoor prayer services in the evenings,
where the churches We're too hot to per-
NIT of their use.
A hot wave, fercer than any of it's
predecessors, swept over the scorched
plains of the Central West from the
mountains to the lakes Sunday, adding
woes to the already heavy burden of the
farmers, causing prostrations and misery
in the cities. The heat wave extends
from the gulf into the upper peninsula
of Michigan, and almost every town in
Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska,
North Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
and even as far west as Colorado reports
temperature of over 100 degrees, accom-
panied by burning winds.
Reports of ruined corn, burned up pas
lures, and blasted oat fields come from
all parts of the Central West, adding
terror to the situation for the farmers.
The drought in the Central West has
been almost unprecedented, and the re-
ports say the corn crop has already been
damaged to the extent of 90 per cent.
Kansas City announces the most re-
markable heated term in it's history. For
thirty-one days the temperature has risen
above 80 degrees every afternoon. and
for the last twelve days the mercury has
gone above 100 regularly. Since April 5
there has been but one heavy shower.

In proportion to its size the United
States military establishment is the most
expensive in the world. According TO the
official notes of military interest prepar-
ed by Lieut.. Col. Simpson it is shown
that the cost of mainte' az one soldier
in the American arm. or one year is
S1lO4. The nearest approach TO this is
Germany with $201, while Russia pays
less than any other government With
Sl55 for each man. A comparative state
ment is made which shows the effective
ness of the different armies, the cost of
maintaining them for a year, and the
cost of one soldier for the same period.

wrecked by dynamite. Hillmau is charg-

of McCurry's decided to hoist Hillman

quantity of dynamite was placed under
the correspondents house with the inten-
ton of giving the writer taste of high
er journalism. Hillman, however, was
away from home. The explosion lifted
the roof off the house and tore great gaps
