TRADE REVIEW.
Volume OF Business Is Fair In Spite
of Heat and other Disturb-
ing Influences.

New York. July 20-Bradstreet's says:
Heat, drought and strikes have furnished
their quota of disturbing influences this
week, but despite these fair volume of
business goes forward, and nearly all mar
kets have taken the developments of the
week Gall of which, by the way, have not
been unfavorable) calmly and even cheer
fully. While only scattered rains are re-
ported In the worst afflicted sections OF
the corn belt and much more rain is needed
II damage Is to be repaired, the rest of the
country reports a fair amount of moisture,
and the south Atlantic, the central western
and the northwestern states return more
favorable advices than week ago. both s
regards the crop outlook and the business
doing The great steel strike, closely fol-
lowed by the tie-up of hard coal miners by
few mine fremen, has resulted in the
greatest suspension of labor reported for
some years past, but 1t is to be borne in
mind that this season is the natural one
for vacations, and nothing like the maxi
mum number of men reported on strike is
thought to be out. Fair estimates place the
number of men actually striking in the
steel trade at less than $4,000, and the num-
Der of idle coal miners will not equal this
amount On the other hand, the machn-
lists strike has shown signs of disintegra-
ton, and Is generally conceded to have been
a failure.
Iron and steel as a whole are unsettled
by the strike, which Is, however, confined
to one locality, the central west, and again
directly affects only the tin plate. the sheet
and the hoop mills within that territory
The usual summer shutdown, which in
creases the number of those idle from other
causes, has led to some apparent over
estimates Of the number on strike. The
outlook Is, with continuance of the
strike, for some weakness In the cruder
forms of iron which will, Of course, tend to
accumulate and, on the other hand. induce
some advance in the finished products af-
fected directly by the strike"

A Tale of The Northwest.


W. A. Fraser, author of Mooswa
and Others, has just written for early
publication in The Saturday Evening
Post a short, stirring serial, entitled
The Outcasts. !
The Outcasts are an old buffalo
and a,wolf-dog, and the greater part
OF the the story is about the strange
comradesnip and striking adventures
of these companions, and their pill
.grimage, in company, to the distant
plains of deep grass, OF which the
wolf-aog knew.
There arc action, and strength of
word and phrase In the story, and the
touch Of the soil and the music and
charm and sombreness of the forest.
The rush of the frenzied buffalo herd
to death is told with splendid drama
tic power. The plan of the book IS a
unique conception, and it is worked
out on novel and entertaining lines.

Go Slow on Cotton.

Farmers in this parish are not
rushing into cotton planting as Wild
ly as bne would imagine. Why
should they? The bear operators
are now claiming that a $4,000, 900
bale crop will be raised this year and
December cotton is selling for y
cents, while spots to say are worth
only q sixteeth more or nearly &c
less, than at this time last year. So
the outlook is any thing but assur-
ing.
But what about the man who is
holding his cotton for q rise? We
believe in the very nature of things
it is bound to come, but it will be
delayed as long as it is possible to
hold down prices. 1t may be late in
May or W. June before the ad-
vance occurs but it will be sharp
when it does come.
