TRADE CONTINUES GOOD.
All Of the Leading Industries are SIN Keep.
Ing Well Employed improvement In
Demand for Finished Product.

II. @, Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says: General business
continues Its even course with all the
leading industries well employed and
with confidence expressed on every
hand. Labor troubles are in process
of settlement and spectators have
been responsible for most of the unrest
which has reflected In the markets.
Steel mills are actively employed and
there Is a distinct Improvement In the
demand for finished products. In bars
for use by makers of agricultural i'm
plements there Is brisk movement.
Rails are ordered freely, with notable
pressure for trolley and other light
weights. The most startling and
gratifying feature of the situation Is
the decrease Of 1929 tons in furnace
stocks. Notwithstanding an output at
the rate of over 1,100,vO0 tons an
nually.
The market for split goods Is firm
er. Jobbers have light stocks OF sum-
mer goods; leather Is In good demand
and firm. Textile lines have settled
in steady position that promises
more lasting prosperity. Heavy weight
woolens are securing duplicate orders
and mills are making extensive pre-
paration for the light weight season.
Wool was not altered in price. but Is
tirmer.
Grain crops this season are oc.
casloning much uneaslness among
speculators, owing to the extremely
complicated situation. According to
latest official and unofficial prognosti-
cations there Is reason to anticipate
the heaviest wheat yield ever har-
vested. and even with the small sup
plies ON hand when the year opened,
there appears available for export
about 90 per cent more than went
abroad in the year of greatest ship
ments. Yet prices are far above the
low record. Extensive needs abroad
continue, the movement from Atlantic
ports for the week amounting to g.
20S,63i bushels against 2,19S,4 ,443 BUSH
els a year ago, and western receipts
were 4,51o,37S bushels. against 2,8lS.-
6II bushels last year. Corn exhibited
remarkable strength, drought and heat
since July giving reason to expect
less than the official report, which
indicated more than 100000 bushels.
The failures for the week number
gOS In the United States, against 1876
last year.

MILLIONS BEING COUNTED.
Annual Settlement With the Philadelphia
Mint Means Hard Shortage Would
Be Discovered In Weighing Up.

Three hundred million dollars in
gold and silver coin and bullion Is now
being weighed and counted by FIVE en-
ployes of the government and a force
of laborers Mt the Philadelphia mint.
This operation, known as the "an-
nual settlement" Is carried on for the
purpose of checking up the accounts
between the superintendent at phila-
delphia and the treasury department
In Washington. Similar settlements
are made at New Orleans and San
Francisco, as well us Mt the assay of
fices In New York, Seattle and else
where. The Philadelphia work Is be-
Ing done under the direction of II. +.
Butler The work requires four or
i've weeks and the laborers who
handle the coin bags and bullion bars
work almost as nard as laborers In n
blast furnace.
In spite of the vast amount of treas
ure for which they are responsible, 1t
Is rare thing to find any shortage. At
Phlladelphla a few years ago n trust
ed employe succeeded in abstractlng
several gold bars from the bullion
vault with the aid of an iron hook. He
got away with several thousand dol
lars worth of gold before the newt
able discovery was made.
In New Orleans, year or two later,
the settlement resulted In the dscov-
cry of shortage In the accounts of
one OF the employees which the super
intendent was compelled TO make good.
In neither case did the government
lose dollar.

LE|SHMAh MADE TURKEY SETTLE.

Final Success After Ten Years Of Diplomatic
eIiort-The indemnify to tho Fam ly
OF Frank lenll Included.

John G.. 4. Lclshman. United States
minister to Turkey, has succeeded In a
task In which his four predecessors
during the past 10 years have failed
that of inducing the sultan's govern
ment to pay the American claims. The
state department. has received through
Mr.. Leishman the full amount claimed.
S05.000, and he has forwarded to
Washington drafts for the money.
which has been placed In the QUO
man imperial bank Mt COnstantinople.
The state department will distribute
the money among the claimants ns
soon as It can prepare the list
Included in the claims is that of the
family of Frank q. Lentz, the Pitts
burg bicyclist. who was killed on May
10. 1894, in Asiatlc Turkey, while
making n tour of the world on his
wheel. Other claims are mainly for
the destruction of American mission
ary and educational Institutions at
Morach and Harpoot, Armenia. Secre-
tary Hay had been told by diplomats
skilled in the ways of Turkish diplo-
macy, that he never would get the
money. principally because he had TO
contend with the jealousy of the great
European powers, most of whom had
claims against Turkey vastly larger
than ours and whose total was be-
yond the ability of the Turkish gov
ernment to meet For more than a
decade the American claims have been
pending. Minister Terrell lnitla ted
them. DIR. Angel went over to collect
them. expecting to be so engaged only
n short time, but he returned unsuc-
cessful after several years In Con-
stantinople. Then Minister Straus took
them up. and when he resigned he
passed them along to young Mr.. Girls
com. The latter only recently COM
mltted his heavy charge to Mr.. Lelsh-
man, and while to the latter minister
belongs the credit of actually collect
Ing the money. 1t is said at the state
department that each of the officers
named has contributed valuable serv-
Ices toward the final settlement.

WANT MINE TELEPHONES.
Coal Operators Think They Would Save Lives.
Useful to tocats Accidents.

Among the big mine companies in
the anthracite region plan is being
formulated for putting telephones in
the coal mines. In the days of doubt
which followed the disaster at the
Twin shaft. near Pittston, few years
ago, when 60 lives were lost by the ex-
tensive cavlng in of the mine, the tel
ephone might have been used to ad-
vantage in letting the rescuers know
the exact location and condition of the
imprisoned miners. Engineers are of
the opinion that with reasonable in
genulty and care 1t Is possible to in
troduce and operate mine telephone
that would not be affected by the cav
ing In of the surface.

A BRILLIANT OPENING
st Mary's School Began its
Sixtieth Year Yesterday.
A Large Enrolment Of Pupils Who Have Gene
From NORTH Carolina and Other
CtoAe

Yesterday St. Mary's school entered
upon it's sixticth year of noble work and
influence, with opening exercises that
we're short and impressive.
Z The procession of students and faculty,
followed by DR.. Bratton and the Bishop
entered the chapel singing THE Church,
One Foundation" They then chanted the
fifteenth Psalm, that model of the pure
and perfect life.
DR.. Bratton spoke few words or
greeting to those of the students and
Marys home, and extended welcome to
those just beginning the school life and
duties. He spoke of the Importance OF
earnest effort, and said that education
is not a mere imparting and receiving of
knowledge, but in it's highest sense, 1T is
working together-"a mutual help.
The Bishop then welcomed the school;
first, in behalf of tho trustees, and then
in his own capacity as Bishop. He told
of the great work of the two men who
had devoted their lives to st. Marys,
and of the wide spread influence of the
present Rector upon whom their mantle
has fallen. He chose for the lesson, the
twenty second chapter of Revelations, as
peculiarly appropriate to the opening of
the school year, setting forth as it does
the perfect light of knowledge attained
through obedience"
He closed with a tribute to the char
acter of Mr.. Mckinley, whose tragic
death the nation mourns. The recess
sional was then sung-"Holy, Holy, Holy,
Lord God Almighty"
The number Of pupils enrolled is 175-
most of the Southern and several of the
Northern and Western States are repre-
scented, and everything promises pros
porous year for the school, which has so
brilliantly opened it's session for the
coming year.
