Gourook, Scotland, July q. The
Shamrock III, accompanied by the Erin,
sailed at 10. 20 O'Clock this morning for
New York. Great enthusiasm was dis
played as the challenger departed.
Capt. Sycamore desired to go,out un-

light east wind sufficient to keep the
flags streaming in the direction the
yachts had to sail. The challenger cut
q strange figure, with her stunted spars
and scanty canvas, as she lay ready to
start.
At 10 O'Clock, Sir Thomas Upton
and Mr.. Watson, the yachts designer,
boarded her; and In few minutes, the
challenger's moorings were slipped and
her headsails broken out. and the
Shamrock III started on her voyage
across the A tlantic. Thousands of
persons gathered along the shore and
on the pier at Gourook, and greeted
the yachts departure with great out
burst of cheering, again and again re-
newed. Hats and handKerchiefs were
waved, guns saluted and steam whistles
and sirens shrieked. The Shamrock n
crew were all mustered on deck, and,
led by Sir Thomas Upton. gave hearty
| response to the greetings. For miles,
along the shore, crowds occupied every
| vantage point, and the cheers passed

Sir Thomas Upton remained aboard
the challenger until she was off Cum

! fore leaving, he addressed the chal-
lengers crew, thanking them for what
they had done already, nnd wishing
! them God-speed on the voyage and q
successful finish to their task.

Bradstreet's notes improved crop CON
ditions, due to needed rains. ACTIVITY
in textiles this week centres in the
wooden goods trade. Spring weights
opened this week by the largest pro
ducing interest ara at decline of to
1915 cents per yard from prices OF

has attracted considerable business, as
the fseling is that, despite the lower
cost Of wool now as compared with u
year ago, the outlook is favorable one.
Wool is in stesdy demand to cover
orders received by manufacturers for
winter and spring weights, fine terri
tory woods holding the lead in business.
dShoe and leather trade conditions
continue quite satisfactory, while
leather has shown an Improvement In

When the Pennsylvania Legislature had
passed the Focht and Emery traction bills
the men who were behind the trolley iegisla-
ton employed several confidential agents to
sound the owners of suburban lines which
extended to phila 1elphia and discover
whether II was cheaper to buy control or to
make arrangements to divert the traffic
derived from these lines from the Union
Traction Co. to the proposed companies.
The roads which were investigated in-
cluded the Darby, Chester and Wilmington
line. IL is said that no effort is now being
made to secure these suburban lines.
