stoppage of wheels.
 Other lines of cottons have enjoyed more activity and occasional advances on the quotations are reported. Strength Is shown in fall goods, the jobbing trade being well occupied. In ines exported to China there Is a fair movement.
 Grain quotations eased off somewhat during the week though the net decline was small. Corn Is still close to the highest price since 1892 even with host flated figures. Weather conditions steadi- ly improve. making the outlook bright for late planted corn. Foreign customers have been driven away by exorbitant prices to the benefit of Russia and Ar gentina and Atlantic exports for three weeks aggregated only 1.SS25S9 bushels, against 7,636.54S last year and 12720,027 years ago. Meanwhile interior receipts steadily exceed thos of a var ago indicat- ing that farmers have large stocks car ried over from previous excessive yields. Nevertheless prices remain above 60 cents Slight reaction in wheat Is ex- plained by the decrease in Atlantic ship ments to 4,853, 735 bushels against 7,252 ,S26 bushels in the previous week. Compared with the exports of 1,650817 bushels last however, there appears a phenomenal gain. Pacific exports are still retarded by labor troubles and the movement VII be striking once started.
 Failures for the week number 2no in the United States against III last year, and 35 in Canada against 29 last year.

BOLD HlGHWAYMEN.
Two Men Held Up and Robbed In Rail
 road Yards.

Spokane. Wash. August 23.-A special to the Spokane Review from Colifax, Wash, says:
 Word comes from Riparia that bold hold-up occurred in the railroad yards at that place at o'clock this morning. Two men were held up and robbed after one of them had been shot, less than fifty yards from the depot, while a freight train crew was working fn the yards. The robbers escaped and the wounded man was placed on an engine and sent back to Starbuck for surgical treatment
 Flight men were held up the previous night at Grange City, four miles below Riparia, and robbed of $104. Two men did the work, and 1t is believed that the same men did both jobs. A vigilence committee has been organized at Rfparia, and the announcement is made that the men will be promptly hanged if caught"

DuN's REVIEW.

New Tor, August 23.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Though there are some drawbacks, not ably the labor troubles, in the iron and steel industry, business Is of well sus- tained volume, to which fact payments through the countrys clearing house are generally sustained, while merchandise offers good testimony. Except. in cer- tain branches of the textile markets sell CTS of merchandise have an advantage over buyers and distribution is as large as stocks will permit The Amalgamated Association succeeded in enlisting the sympathy of other workmen with the re- suit that the output of merchant bar and wire rods is curtailed to the extent of about 10000 tons monthly.
 Beyond this defection wage earners in allied branches of the steel industry have refused to break their contracts. Many idle mills resumed during the past week. and even in the tin plate region there is a moderate output. Plates have begun to arrive from abroad and prices in the London markets sharply advanced. Hoop and sheet mills increase production daily and there is no loss in the rail division, but some anxiety is felt regarding sup plies of cotton ties. as the picking sea- son has begun in many States.
 Decreased consumption tends to weaken pig iron and tin is similarly affected.
 Exceptional activity is still the rule at shoe shops and promises to continue for shoe months. Old orders are being filled as rapidly as possible and ship ments from factories show a steady in crease over last year of about 30 per cent One of the most satisfactory signs is the evidence that little summer stocks will have to be carried over. Sole leather continues remarkably strong, union backs gaining another cent, while there is a splendid demand for hemlock. both for domestic use and export. Betting butts advanced and kangaroo leather is much higher. Hides are without change in prices and selling freely. Slightly better terms asked for staple woolen and worst ed goods in no way diminished the vol ume of sales and the light weight season promises to be of inactivity. In heavy weights there is also noticed greater in- terest on the part of buyers than is cus- tomary at this late date. These i'm proved conditions in the manufacture give a firm tone to raw wool despite the heavy arrivals at Eastern markets of the new goods.
