 The commissioners in charge of the drawing in connection with the progress of the Kiowa and Comanche lands are A. W. Richards, Frank Dale of Guthrie, and D. P. Dwyer of St. Louis. They held their first conference this afternoon. The following formal announcement was given to the public tonight:
 "A platform will be erected in the street upon which the drawing will be conducted, in plain view of all who desire to be pres- ent.
 Envelopes containing the names of all registered applicants will be placed in two boxes, one for each land district. These boxes will be large enough and so con- structed and mounted as to permit a thor ough mixing of the envelopes.
 "On Monday morning. July 29, the en- velopes containing the names of all who have registered will be brought to the platform in packages consecutively num- bered. corresponding series of num- bers on slips will be placed in some re- cepticle from which they will be drawn out at random. This course will be pur- sued until 800 names have been drawn from each box. when If the committee deem 1t best to do so, arrangements will be made for drawing simultaneously from each box.
 After the names have been drawn and announced they will be recorded and a notice prepared to be mailed to the one whose name is drawn. The drawing win proceed in this manner until every envel- ope in both boxes has been drawn out"

goods are dull, neither buyers nor sellers exhibiting any eagerness to make prepa- rations.
 Withdrawal of prominent concerns from the Fall River selling committee suggests lower prices for print clothing. Mills are now fully employed either North or South Quiet conditions in the domestic manufacture. light exports and better weather on plantations caused further de- uression in raw cotton. Shoe shops are producing at full capacity with goods ar riving steadily and statesmen are already placing spring samples in Western and Southern markets Business improves as the season advances, and local jobbers report July trade in excess of the corre- spending month in any previous year. Dry hides are still in light demand, with values firmly held. while a few grades of Chicago county hides are lower.
 Variations in the corn market on Mon day indicated manipulation by stock market interests. Western reports alone were not sufficiently distressing to carry the September corn option at Chicago to within a small fraction of 50 cents, while the withdrawal of support caused sales cents lower the following day. Higher prices prevailed throughout the week, hover, and 2441 300 bushels of old corn were taken out of cribs and marketed at big profits. Foreign buying is insignifi- cant, Atlantic exports for the week against 3.oa9En? sy,kogo shrtiIu cmfwyp against a.o99,S ,S97 year ago, when quota tions were about 15 cents lower.

The REVIEW was not exercised over the award of the county adver- Using at Tombstone as intimated in the Prospector this week. We have gone to considerable trouble to prove that the district attorney wrongfully advised the Board of Supervisors when he told them that it was their duty to give the advertising to daily news paper when the same man had bid to do the same work for less money in 8 weekly. When we first called atten- tion to this unheard of legal (?) opinion the REVIEW pointed out the fact that the Epitaph was the lowest bidder and should have been awarded the adver- Using at saving to the county of sev- eral hundred dollars.
