as the possibility CT any serious injury
becomes smaller the feeling of confidence
in fully sustained trade grows stronger.
Storms destroyed much property in some
sections, and the prompt restoration of
structures has added to the activity of
building trades. Railway stocks rose TO
new high record quotations and gold was
exported, yet money ruled easy. July
oats succeeded corn as the leading speeu-
latiye cereal, but all distant grain options
tended lower as the outlook improved.
The heavy distribution OF merchandise is
shown by railway earnings thus far re-
ported for July % per cent larger than
last year and 20 per cent in excess of the
corresponding period of 1900.
X. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review thus
sums up the trade outlook and continu-
ing, says:
Insufficient fuel Is the one serious diff
fculty in the iron and steel industry. in
terruptions and delays from this cause
becoming more noticeable each day. Sup
plies of coal are eurtailed by the strike,

paratiye dulln SIS because deliveries can
not be made promptly, the outlook for
long continued activity seems favorable,
especially as scarcity of fuel cannot con-
tinue 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 some
what unsettled by heavy impoTtations,
yet domestic prices are steady and fur
Their foreign arrivals are expected.
There was less activity in the specu-
lative markets for the leading cereals,
yet prices were fairly well maintained.
Meats were somewhat weaker on large
receipts and smaller export buying.
Among the other staples coffee continues
active and firm, despite the statistical
situation, while cotton was irregular. be-
cause improved crop prospects acted in
opposition to the brisk demand for con-
sumption. Finally the former influence

MONEY SECURED TO BUILD
THE NEW MOFFAT LINE

The fact that the total issue OF $50.
100000 worth of bonds of the new road
has been disposed of In such short
time is evidence of the confidence In
vestors have In Colorado enterprises.
While part of the money for the road
was subscribed In Colorado. most OF 1t
came from the East. Mr.. Moffat an
nounced shortly after the sale of bonds
was opened last month that he had sold
$5.000.000 worth of the bonds to Provi-
dence and New England capitalists.
who are interested with him in the
Denver Tramway Company. The net
sold In the East during the last three
weeks amounts to about sl3.000.000.
There has been no authoritative
statement to that effect. but II Is un-
derstood that large block of the
bonds has been underwritten by G. NJ.
Boissevain. the Holland banker who
was In Denver last month. MIR. Bolsse-
vain and Mr.. Moffat have been asso-
clated in the financing OF railroads in
the past.
President Sylvester T. Smith of the
which is to build the railroad. yester-
day said that the exact route OF the
new road would not be made public for
several days. MIR. Smith announced
early last week that he would make the
route public Friday. but owing TO some
minor changes yet to be made. II will

MIR. Moffat left last Sunday evening
