COMMERCIAL REPORT.


New York, June Brndstreet's
says: Trade, crop and industrial de-
velopments this week have been large
ly favorable, temporarily firmer
money, due to July interest disburse-
ment preparations, and slight fnan-
cial troubles due to improper bust
ness methods, not detracting from the
generally satisfactory and confident
feeling with which the half year In
business closes.
Iron and steel show few notably
new features. The price Of Bessemer
pig has been definitely fixed for the
third quarter Of the year and no
doubt exists that al heavy business
has recently been done. Foundry pig
in rather quiet and on the whole Is
not strong. The machinists' strike
has mquestionably hurt this line OF
business, but this trouble appears to
he subsiding and the settlement Of
the tin plate scale, an advance being
conceded the workingmen, leads to
the expectation that other branches
OF the trade will reach like amicable
settlement with their employees.
Seasonable weather has come to the
aid of the corn plant and that great
staple has made good progress, al
though still undeniably backward
Winter wheat harvesting has pro
crossed under exceptionally favorable
circumstances and reports as to guam
tity and quality confirm earlier san
guine advices. Cotton crop prospects
have also improved, particularly In
the South Atlantic states, but show
ers in Texas have not yet put Their
plant in that section out of danger
from dry weather.
For the week prices, except for the
Heading cereals and cotton, show III
tie change. Early liquidation, due tt
continued favorable crop reports, gave
way to firmcr feeling in wheat ant
corn, because Of renewed ndvices Of
widespread crop impairment II
Europe, particularly in Russia ant
France, but weakness ON liquidation
succeeding, lost all Of the gain. Corr

with net advance on the week, how

of Russia in Manchuria has given rise
to considerable apprehension here. AS
indicated in recent news dispatches, n
series of regulations has been promul-
gated by the Russian government for
the administration of affairs in Man

Gals here to warrant an apprehen-
sion that Il permanent occupation of
that territory. with its population of
20.000,000, is in contemplation. 1t is
believed that some representations
either have been or will be made on
the subject to the powers.
When the Russian government an
nounced its intention to withdraw its
troops from Picking it also sOlemnly
declared that ''as soon as lasting or
der shall have been established in
Manchuria, and indispensable meas
urse taken for the protection of rail
way construction, which, according to
formal agreement. China assured.
Russia will not fail to withdraw her
troops from these territories of the
neighboring empire, provided the ac-
ton of the powers does not place any
obstacle in the way of such meas
ure''
The contention of the Russian repre-
sentatives here is that the conditions
laid down in this pledge have not yet
been realized. and they insist that
there is nothing in the published reg
ulations which would warrant the as
sumption that Russia is not acting in
perfect good faith in this matter. To
clear up any doubt that may remain
on this point. however, it is probable
that an explicit official declaration
from Russia will be invited on this

SHORT STAGE STORIES


An engagement of unusual interest
to theatre goers is that of Robert
Downing and company, who will APP
pear at Harper's theatre next Monday
night in his late success, Richard,
the Lion Hearted" a new romantic
drama in four acts. The play deals
with the stirring events in the life of
King Richard /. of England. and his
crusade into the Holy land, for the
purpose of rescuing the holy sepul
chre from the infidels. Mr.. Downing
has with him this season the strong
est company he has ever had in his
entire starring career of Is years, and
includes such well known people as
Alberta Converse, Charlie d. Herman.
William Kingsbury, William Somers,
Minnie Lindley and fifteen others.
The scenery and costumes are all
new and bright and the historical ira
ditions have been strictly adhered to
in every detail.
The New York Lyceum theatre sue
cess, s.Miss Hobbs" is underlined for
Wednesday evening next at the Bur-
tbs. For nearly six months it played
to the capacity of that theatre, and
later on when miss Hobbsn was pro-
duced in London at the Duke of York's
theatre it at once duplicated its New
York success and ran there the entire
season. The story of the play briefly
told is that of a young and progresses
ing woman who has abnormal ideas
on the subject of marriage, and be-
lieves it to be her duty not only to re-
main single herself, but to warn all
the members of her sex against enter
ing the matrimonial state. In her eff
forts to carry out this self-imposed
mission she meets a young man who
convinces her of her error. ''Miss
Hobbs'' is a moral play. By this it
is not meant that it is a goody-goody,
or anything like that, but it is whole
some and honest. Its people do not
live in hot house of pleasure that
has vice for its atmosphere, but they
breathe the fresh, pure air of decency,
and respect Que another as pure
women and manly men do.
