CAN TRAVEL soon
Mrs. Mckinley to Go to Canton
Early Next Month.
President Will Spend the Sum-
mer Away From Washington.

Washington, June 17.-Mrs. McKin-
ley's condition continues to improve.
and there was no consultation of ply
sicians at the White House today.
Surgeon General Sternberg, one of the
consulting physicians, left for the Phil
ippines today, and DR.. Rixey did not
consider it necessary to call in DR..
Johnston, the other consulting physi
clan. If the present improvement goes
on it is expected that Mrs. Mckinley
will be able to travel soon after July 1.
The president will then accom- pany her
to Canton, where the Mckinley home
has been made ready to receive hel.
How long the president and Mrs. Nc
Kinley will remain in Canton will de-
pend upon the benefit Mrs Mckinley
receives from her stay at her old home.
After she has been there for some time,
if the weather is oppressively warm
and her physicians recommend a
change, the president probably viii
take her to some quiet place in the
mountains or at the sea shore In any
event when the president departs for
Canton with Mrs. Mckinley early in
July, it will be to remain away from
Washington for the remainder of the
heated term. He might return for e
day or two once or twice during the
sun mer, but he win not again take up
his abode at the White House until

ting the briefs is to be short and it is

with Harry Cornish, manager of the
Knickerbocker Athletic club. Mr.. Mil
burn passed on to the receipt of a bot

Anthracite Coal Trads.

There is no especial change in mar
ket conditions since last week. The
trade is quiet and the mining compan-
les are restricting production. There
is not much demand in the east and in
terest is mostly confined to western
business. The advance of Zoe. per ton
on August | is not likely to affect de-
mand much and consumers who have
not bought already are not likely to
take advantage of the Zoe. discount
during August. The prospects are
that the market will he quiet for some
weeks.
In Lake superior territory the de-
mand is improving. Supplies on docks
continue rather small and arrivals
from Buffalo are not heavy. In Chi
caGo territory receipts by lake continue
below last years figures. Supplies on
docks are limited and certain sizes,
particularly egg, are hard to get. The
amount of coal sold in July is believed
to be considerably below that sold last
year or i'm the past few years when
consumers took advantage of the usual
midsummer dullncss and sales agents
offered coal at away below list prices.
At the lower lake ports business is
fairly good. The lake freight rate con-
tinues at 3jc. to Lake superior and i0c.
to Lake Michigan points. In the east
the market is quiet. but the regular
trade is taking considerable coal. With
prices firmly maintained and no pros
pcct of break the market is very
firm. The August prices for free burn
ing white ash f, o. b. New York harbor
ports are: Broken, $500; egg. S415;
stove and chestnut, 4i0,-Engneering
