REVIEW OF TRADE.
Fresh Labor Troubles Make
Conservatism in Business.

New York. July 6.-R. G. Dun s.
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Developments Of fresh labor troubles
is a feature Of a week that has made
for conservatism in many directions,
but throughout the country jobbing
and retail lines are busy and are hand
ling goods at prices which yield fair
profits. There is a reflection of this ae-
tivity in the continued Improvement in
the textile markets in the east and the
uneas1ness over the money market
does not extend beyond the ranks Of
spectators in stocks. Crop reports
continue gratifying, much good having
been done by rains in the middle west
Harvesting of winter wheat progresses
favorably.
Manufacturing has been interrupted
by the elements and labor ag4tati ton.
Numerous prostrations from heat
caused humane employers to close the
n ills during the most distressing hours,
while the sheet and hoop workers were
ordered to stop work until certain dis
puted points were settled. No immedi-
ate settlement is anticipated because
many plants need repair and others
are busy taking stock. Until the owns
eFs wish to resume their position will
not be known. The reduction of 25
cents on No. az sheet was unexpected
and not accompanied by any general
weakening of prices. Footwear shops
In New England are active on fall lines
but local jobbers are less busy and Or
ders from statesmen on the road are
light Leather + quiet but hrmer with
2 splendid export demand for hemlock
sole Woolens and worsteds are selling
better and raw wool is taken more
freely but the average of 1e6 grades
according to Coates Bros circular was
slightly lower at 1895 cents, on July 1,
COttOnS ara in better domestic demand
but prices are held above bids of ship
pers to China and sales in the brown
goods division have decreased. Manu-
featuring as whole is unusually ac-
tive for the season.
Staple products are quiet, speculation
being restricted by depressing weather
and the lengthy holidays at most of the
exchanges prevented new commitments.
News from the west was fun of prom
1ses as TO the growing wheat yield,
causing further decline in prices, al
though foreign needs are known to be
heavy. Corn steadied somewhat be-
cause Of reported injury from heat and
dTnuth- Receipts continue light in
comparison with last year, but exports
are equally unsatisfactory. Cotton

2 cents, ana free movement into sight
OF the old crop being disresarded.
Strength is found in greater activity IN
the goods market, together with runaors
of rain in Texas and a few other states
where moisture is deficient. Sales of
No. Rio coffee have been made below
6 cents, which is not surprising since
reeeiDtS at Rio and Santos ports for
short of eleven million bags. Even this
record breaking crop will be- surpassed
# the current yield is equal to expee-
tatiQpS. Compared with the prices of
about II cents q bushel, cotton s6.25 a
bale and coffee 335 cents a pound, while
corn IS not higher than last years
price and pork products alone of these
commodities SHOW any advance,
Commercial failures during the first
half of 1901 numbered 5,759. with liza
bilfties Of $50, 804, $780, against $3.50 last
year for $74,747, 45z. IN manufacturing
lines there were 1886 defaults with $21,
e91, 048 liabilities, while 4129 traders
failed for $24, 1854. z97 The i'm provement
over the preceding year was most strik-
ing in brokerage and banking fnsoly-
554 respectively. against $22, $40 and
SIS 82z,682 last year. This is the more
noteworthy because the violent agita-
ton in Wall street during May was
calculated to cause serious disturbance,
and the last week Of June brought
other failures through injudicious spec
ulation and poor banking methods.
While half years statement is graft
flying. the second quarter makes a
much better showing. liabilities declin-
ing 81, 202,2S2, compared with the first
quarter and $f7,s23, s7g in comparison
with the second quarter of 1900. The
average liability per failure was
smaller than in the corresponding three
months of any year since the records
were first compiled. The proportion of
bad debts to solvent payments through
clearing houses was but 50 cents to
each $1,000, and only one out of the pre-
cedfng 105 quarters recorded lower
ratio, while the average amount of de-
faults to each firm in business was but
$40. $50, only seven other quarterly Pc
riods making smaller returns.

How Prairie Dogs We're Exter-
minated on a Western Ranch
The Little Nusfanees Wiped Out
by Novel Plans
POISONED WHEAT USED
Homes Filled Up With Dirt and
the Food.
Two Applications at Cost Of $50
Were Sufficient.

Gaylord, Kas.s July e--I4ast March q
number OF men were set to work with
shovels 10 level Down the mounds
thrown up by the prairie dogs and fill
up the holes on the 200 acre Haskell
ranch. This was done to ascertain
which holes We're occupied and which
were not The holes which were found
to be occupied We're NJ arked BY driving
stakes in the ground. Then wheat was
boiled la water sWee&ened with mo
lasses and strychnine added.
A ladle full of this wheat was de-
posted In the holes marked BY the
stakes and the holes again covered
with dirt. The first dose finished a
majority Of the dogs, and then a few
dayss later the ground was gone over
again and the dogs which had escaped
the first application We're given an
other dose. After the second appIica-
tion there was not left on the whole
2.700 acres to exceed a dozen prairie
dogs, and il is now almost impossible
to find one.
The work was done at a cost Of less
than $50 BY this plan the nsllochs
thrown up by the dogs were ieveied
down, the holes filled up and the dogs
exterminated, SO that now the pasture
has been restored where before the
ground was bare. An important fea-
ture of the plan is 60 place the poisoned
wheat in the ground early in the spring
before the grass starts, when the dogs
are hungry and not SO particular
about their diet as they are when the
grass comes on. As there is little pros
pect that the college scientists who are
to devise ways and means for exterIni-
mating the dogs under the new state
plan than this, ff I'm fact they agree on
any plan at all. the people who are
bothered with prairie dogs are at lib
erty to use 1T, as there is no patent
