REPORTS ARE CHEERING.
Leading Commercial Agencies Tell
of Increased Improvement in
the Business Situation.

New York, June pr. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: "Increas-
ing distribution of merchandise, part1cu-
iarly in the territory beyond the Ohio river,
including the far northwest, is feature
of the general business situation, and tells
of widespread prosperity and confidence.
The railroads are carrying more goods that
may be classed as luxuries than before,
and in spite of Wall streets slightly higher
money market, there is no fear on this
score in any line of legitimate trade. Crop
news continues good, and there is less
trouble from diSagreements with labor.
Less interruption through labor contro-
Versies at machine shops makes the iron
and steel industry more fully employed
than in recent weeks, and for another week
there is assurance of vigorous activity at
mills and furnaces. In many instances
promised deliveries cannot be made before
July l, and urgent business that is now
offered cannot be undertaken. 1t is also
noticed that much foreign business is
available, but manufacturers refuse to
make bids. On the other hand, 1t is stated
that quiet conditions will soon be the rule,
and fires will go out for the customary
summer overhauling. This may be the
case at few plants, although the require
ments of railroads and other known needs
are such as to render any general suspen-
sion very improbable.
Failures for the week numbered 1913
80 eiAC CuilcO OldlSS, against liz last SeAA'
and IA in Canada, against Is last year"
Bradstreet's says: 'The situation is one
OF sustained strength in some lines, and
of further Improvement in others. The
crop situation, of course, remains the main
subject of interest, and this on the whole is
a good one, although too much rain in the
South Atlantic states and too little in Tex
as, with the lack of warm weather for
corn in the northwest, have constituted ex-
ceptions to otherwise favorable advices.
Perhaps the most significant feature noted
for some time past is that presented this
week in regard to the prices of a number
of leading commodities. Cotton goods,
notably print cloths, bleached goods and
number of standard products have been
advanced this week, and an increase in the
price of raw materia! is as much due to the
better trade advices at home and abroad
as to crop damage reports from the south.
Hides and leather, long threatening an adj
vance, have at last succeeded in this re-
spect, and in addition corn and oats among
the cereals, lard among hog products,
cheese among dairy products, and coffee
and tin, are all higher on the week, the
only important reduction being in wheat,
due mainly to the liquidation of the July
option as much as to continued good crop
adivices. European advices favor the idea
that the continent of Europe will be a
heavy buyer the coming cereal year."

MANY LYNCHINGS.
Two Negroes Strung Up at Benton,
La, for Completely in Murder

Shreveport, La, June 20.-Two of
the negroes implicated in the murder
of John Gray Foster were lynched by
a mob at Benton Wednesday night.
One was Frank, commonly known as
Prophet" Smith, who, as the head of
the Church of God" movement in
that section, was blamed as being re-
sponsible for the sentiment against
the whites which led to the death of
Foster. The other was F. d. McLand.
Both negroes made statements
before they died denying that they
had anything to do with the killing
of Foster. Smith died praying, while
McLand was silent as he was hanged.
There were about 200 armed men in
the mob. The lynchers declare that
the death of these negroes was nee
essary for the preservation of the
lives of the white men in that Sec
ton.
