a citizen and a friend, as well as in his
capacity OF chief officer OF this compny.

age, his ability and his generosity. We

couragements as have surrounded these
enterprises almost from their inception.

exists among all oficers and employees
throughout the service.

probation, Admiration and affection for our

RUSSIAN LAW ON TRUSTS
Circular which Has Caused So Much
Talk Throughout Europe Re-
ceIved at Washington.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Through the
United States charge OF embassy at st.
Petersburg, Mr.. Riddle, the State depart
ment has Just received a copy Of the Rus
sian law touching upon trusts, which has
excited so much comment In Europe. This
note, which takes the form of a circular,
was identical and was handed in st. Pc
tersburg to the representative Of all OF
the powers that participated In the Brus-
sells sugar conference, and. In addition, to
Mr.. Riddle for transmission to his govern
ment at Washington.
Just why this was done in view Of the
fact that the United States government was
not represented at the Brussels conference
can only be conjectured, and II is supposed
that 1t was supplied as a matter Of infor-
nation and as a courtesy. Certain (. is
that in the present view the United States
executive cannot participate in such a con-
ference as 1t described, because OF consti-
~tutional limitations that cannot be escaped,
even II there were no other objections.
From a perussl Of the note. which is in
ofhcial print. It appears that its references
to trusts, which are rather incidental and
alternative. IN character, have attracted the
principal share of public attention. al
though the whole note appears to be

Russian system of regulating sugar pro-
duetion and export.
The reference to an international trust
conference Is actually the question pre-
scented In the shape of an alternative pro-
posal, or rather suggestion. only in case
the soundness Of the Russian contention
in support OF its present system is sue
cessfully challenged.
The State department cannot do more
at this stage than 1t has done. namely,
return a polite acknowledgment through
Mr.. Riddle Of the note and watch develop
ments in Europe. II is not supposed that
there Will be at once any action toward
calling any congress, but rather the dis
cussion as TO the character Of the Russian
sgstem OF regulation OF sugar production
will proceed. certainly up to the date set
for the application OF the sugar agreement
reached at Brussels for the stoppage OF
sugar bounties and the exclusion from i'm
portation OF bounty-atded sugar. That ae-
tion will, It is expected, precipitate some
decision upon the Russian proposals.

Confidence in Trade Strengthens with
DiminutiOn Of Possible Losses to Crops.
MERCHANDISE DISTRIBUTION IS HEAVY
Made Apparent by Large Increase in
Railway EarninEs-Lack of Fuel
Seriously Retards Iron and
Steel Industry.

NEW YORK, July pr. G. Dunn &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Each day brings the agricultural products
OF the nation nearer maturity and as the
possibility OF any serious injury becomes
smaller the feeling Of confidence in fully
sustained trade grows stronger. Railway
stocks rose to new high record quotations
and gold was exported, yet money ruled
easy. July oats succeeded corn as the lead
ing speculative cereal. but all distant grain
options tended lower as the outlook Jim
proved. The heavy distribution of mer-
chandise is shown by railway earnings thus
far reported for July being % per cent
larger than last year and 20 per cent in
excess of the corresponding period OF 1900.

Guilty in the iron and steel industry, inter-
ruptions and delays from this cause becom-
ing more noticeable each day. Supplies of
coal are curtailed by the strike, although
coke ovens are making new records OF pro-
duction. Shipments are retarded by the
car and motive power shortage. In a
market where there is comparative dullness
because deliveries ann be made promptly
the outlook for long continued activity
seems favorable, especially as the scarcity
of fuel cannot continue a factor indefinitely.
All forms of pig iron have sold ahead and
there is no evidence OF over production In
the near future at least. Billets are still
somewhat unsettled by heavy importations,
yet domestic prices are steady and further
foreign arrivals are expected. The week
