WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Rains Act as n Tonic to Trade, nm
Salvation of Late Corn.

Raias Act as n Tonic TO Trade, and
salvation of Late Corn.
New York, Aug. 5.-Bradstreet's
weekly review of trade says
copious rains throughout the west
ern half of the country have had the
extended effect of inducing a more
cheerful tone, and the feeling is de.
cidedly more hopeful than 1t was a
week or two ago.. Rains practically in
sured a large spring wheat crop, and
although the damage already lone APP
pears TO have been serious, judging
from the strength OF the corn market
itself and the advices OF heavily re.
duced yields which are reiterated from
the sections affected. Bradstreet's ad.
vices point to the early corn crop as
practically a failure in the leading sur
plus producing states west of the Mis-
sissippi, but late corn undoubtedly has
been saved, and as time elapses esti-
mates of production are being raised
From the rest Of the country trade ad.
vices remain quite cheerful, n de-
spite the intense heat and drought OF
July an extraordinarily large business
appears to nav been done, which is re-
lected in the bank clearings for that
month. The northwest will produce
crops largely in excess of last year, and
a heavy fall trade is anticipated IL
that section.
The wooden mills are filled with or.
ders for fall delivery and the spring

ingiy. Wool is being taken In liberia,
amounts by the manufacturers and Is
firm, as is also the London market, at
which buying for America is reported
liberal. Prospects for the ending of the
steel strike and the better tone OF croE
advices have made the iron and steel
trade more cheerful. IT has been an.
other weather market for the cereals.
Following the break OF last week. how
ever, wheat n oats appear to have
diverged from corn prices. The for

the French crop come this week, color
being given to this by the continued
active export demand. Corn, after the
sharp break of last week, has teadied
and near the close OF the week was
close to the highest point reached. Con-
sentative estimates point to a crop not
exceeding 1000, 900, 900 bushels. Oats
have weakened with wheat, and flour is
also weak and lower.
Wheat, including flour. shipments for
the week aggregate 6.463, 39l bushels,
against 6,974,526 bushels last week and
1927, 003 in the corresponding week OF
1900.
Corn exports for the week aggregate

But Negotiations Are Prob -
ably on.

Pittsburg, Aug. 3.-The Commercial
Gazette this morning avs:
The Amalgamated executive board
last evening received by telegraph a
fat refusal from j. Pierpont Morgan TO
reopen the wage conference where II
was broken off at the Hotel Lincoln
nearly three weeks ago. The powers
of the steel combine insist in this COM
m%unication that the only basis of set
Element will be on the terms which the
financial hacker Of the combine, Presi-
dent C. NJ. Schwab and Chairman Il.
ii. Gary laid down at the melting with
the Amalgamated executive committee
In New York last Saturday.
A member of the executive board OF
the association las night said:
These terms are denominated by
those who have the best interests OF
the organization CT the steel workers
at heart as the most unfair, the most
unjust, ever proposed to any body o.
Workingmen by a. set OF employers or
a corporation. The terms are such That
the executive board OF the AmalSa-
mated association cannot accept, u
has already n OF record TO that ef-
feet.
This morning the answer of Mr..
~ WI I'LL 10 tAHN'NNN ~ -
scarcely a fragment OF a hope that the
AmalRamated association viii back.
down from its well known position. The
leaders OF the workers Will In reply out
line their plans to the steel corpora
ton for q continuation of the great
struggle. They VIII include the stop
ping OF every wheel possible in the
works of the combine, and the extern
sion OF the strike in all possible direc-.
ton by the Amalgamated association.
To-day may develop much, but II the
combine cannot be made to waVer
through the influence that will be
brought to bear. the great conflict VIII
probably be fought TO the bitter end"
After two days Of patient waiting,
at about 5 O'clock last evening the
Amalgamated men in waiting at head
quarters were informed by telephone
from the Carnegie Steel company's Of
flee that the answer from New York
headquarters OF the steel corporation
was awaiting them. Hasty prepara-
tions were made to adjourn and get to

President Shaffer, In making his exit
from headquarters, was asked If he
would return. His reply was, IF 1t is

and one or two others by making long
detours eluded the reporters, and
reached the Carnegie offices unnoticed.
The reply from New York was shown
them, and without much m the
members dispersed. with the
nent that the matter would be pre-
scented to the entire board, n action
taken without delay.

CUSTER CHRONICLE
JOSEPH KUBLER, PUBLISHER

II. A. Houseal, an engrayer, has ac-
complished a ask In the ~engrayer's art
which eclipses the engraving of the
Lords prayer upon a silver dollar,
which was supposed for "a long time to
be the triumph of fine work in engray-
Ing. He has managed to engrave the
alphabet, cotaplete on the head. of q
common pin. Mr.. Houseal, who rarely
uses q glass IN his work, can read the
letters with the naked eye, and al
though there are few persons whose
eyesight IS so strong a common mag
nifying glass serves TO make them east
~ distinguishable. The letters range
from left TO right, and are all capitals.
In the first circle around the edge OF
the head of the pin are the letters from
A to M, inclusive. Within this is the
second circle beginning at N and end
ing at "a, and directly in the center Is
the &c mark. The diameter OF the
p~in-head is barely a sixteenth OF an
inch and II can be understood how
small the letters must be. They are
about one-fourth the size OF the letters
in the Lords prayer engraved on n
dollar. The work occupied about an
hour n q half, and was done during
an afternoon about a month ago, Mr..
Houseal occasionally leaving II to go 10
attend TO customers In the store. 1T
was done with an ordinary engrayer's
tool.

London, Aug. 1.-The contest be-
tween the wal office and the Daily Mail

off the Daily Nails South African

but had also ordered the various news
agencies not to supply the Daily Mai

the war office.

news agencies under it's contracts to
compel them to deliver the news.
The war office then held back the bull

a storm of protest from the provincial
