DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, July 26.-R. G. Dun & Co. s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say
 A fortnight of the steel strike has passed without materially altering the position of the contestants or adversely affecting the industry as whole. Exceptionally activi- ty is noticed at the mills not affected by the strike, and the movement of structur- al material for bridges, buildings and track elevation Is still heavy. Steel bars for agricultural implement makers are firm is price and freely purchased. Rail- ways seek freight cars. and rails are sold for delivery next January. Cotton ties, sheets and hoops are commanding a premium. Pig iron is accommodating but producers offer no concessions Orders for tin plates were not accepted for delivery before October 1 when the strike began owing to the oversold condition of mills, and distant contracts are still taken at unchanged prices, but jobbers are secur- ing high prices for goods deliverable im- mediately. Tin has fallen to the quota tions prevailing in May owing to the lack of demand here and weakness in London
 New lines of woolen goods for delivery after October 1 opened at moderate re- auctions from last years price, as gen. erally expected by the trade.
 Supplies of heavyweight goods have been reduced to a satisfactory point, and the situation in all branches of the indus try Is such as to engender confidence. Raw wool, however, thus far falls to re- fleet the improvement, quotations remain ing unchanged at the lowest average price in four years. A few of the most expensive grades are held above former figures and the bulk of the new domestic clip has gone into the hands of specula- tors who await profitable terms. Cotton

LONE WOLF ARGUMENTS.
Indian Seeks to Enjoin Government In
 Land Deal.

Elreno. O. T., July 26.-Arguments on the application of Lone Wolf and other disgruntled Indians for an order enJoin- ing the opening of the Kiowa, Conan che and Apache reservations were heard today before Judge Irwin of the territo- rial supreme court. Judge Irwin will make his decision known Monday morn- Ing at o'clock. The drawing of home steads Is set to begin at that TOUT at El Reno Government off, cials have already stated that the case would not interfere with the opening.
 J. W. Scothorn, assistant United States attorney, representing the govern ment, argued that no court had jurisdic- tion to restrain executive officers of the Federal government from proceeding un- der an act of Congress. He argued fur ther that a treaty with the Indians had no more standing than treaty with a foreign nation and that the latter could be broken at any time. Any law enac- ted after the abrogation of the treaty would, he contended, control in the Is. sues that might arise
 R. G. Hays and c. Porter Johnson Of Oklahoma City, made the arguments for the Indians. Lone Wolf as not in the Court.

OF SPECIAL INTEREST To Hay Fever Sufferers.

Sufferers from hay fever and summer catarrh will be interested to learn that there Is a new, simple, inexpensive but effective home treatment for this ob- stinate and baff1ing disease, and that a little booklet fully describing the treat ment will be mailed free to anyone by addressing the F. A. Stuart Co.,, Mar shall. Mich.
 Doubtless this statement of 8 cure and positive preventive of hay fever will be received with skepticism by the thousands who have found the only relief every year was a change of climate during the sum. mer months.
 But whether skeptical or not 1t will cost nothing to investigate this new treatment. Simply send name and address on a post al card to F. A. Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich, for the booklet which besides de- scribing the treatment contains a concise treatise on the cause and character of this peculiar disease.
