Report of Business Conditions.
Conditions governing present and
future trade show very sharp con-
trasts. While the immediate pres
ent situation is clouded by the rather
less favorable industrial outlook and
the prospect Of an extension of the
coal strike in the bituminous fields,
the continued favorable progress made
by all the leading crops lends assur-
ance that once the present strained
condition Of industrial affairs is re-
lieved large and prosperous fall and
| winter business is assured.
With the exception of too much
moisture in the Southwest, interfer-
ing with the harvesting. and condition
of wheat and continued dryness in
Texas spelling corn and impairing
cotton conditions, the agricultural out
look is practically without flaws.
The supply of anthracite coal Is
slowly ebbing, and the use of soft coal
is growing despite city ordinances.
Prices of farm products show the
influence of improving crop condi-
tions. Refined sugar is lower after
the heavy buying of the past month.
Country produce is lower, potatoes
particularly so on larger receipts.
The strength in manufactured mater
ials is notable. though print cloths are
said to be weak in sympathy with the
decline in raw cotton.
Business failures for the week num-
Der III as against 165 last week, 1888
in this week last year; 1877 in 1900 and
1879 in 1899 and 220 in 1898.
Cornell Won Three Races.
Cornell Saturday afternoon won the
greatest triumph of her history in
boating. The Ithacans literally swept
the Hudson. winning all three events
in the intercollegiate regatta, the
varsity, the freshmen and the four
cared races.
In each race the crews, coached by
Charles Courtney, had to fight all the
way from start to finish for victory
In only one of the three races did the
Ithacans dare at any time to LEI down
on their speed.
The Wisconsin boys won the sec.
ond honors of the day and to them be-
longs great credit for the splendid
fights they made in the varsity and
freshman races. in both of which
events they finished strong second to
the Ithacans. In all three races Col
umbia finished third. In the four
cared Pennsylvania was second. but
in the varsity race the Quakers fin
ished in the fourth place, and in the
freshman race they were fifth.
The University of Syracuse beat the
Quakers out for fourth place in the
freshmen event, and in the varsity
Syracuse fought Georgetown out in
the last few lengths, beating the boys
from Washington by less than a yard
at the finish line.
In none of the races were the rec
ords touched. but in all three events
the times we're not far above the fast
est that have been made on this
course.
Paterson In Hands Of Mob.
Paterson was in the hands OF a
mob Wednesday and as a result of the
riots a number of persons were shot
and two az least will die.
There seems to be every indication
that the riot was the result of a pre-
arranged plan to involve the would-be
peaceful element in the affair from
the start. For some time past man
named Mcqueen and another named
Galleano, the former an Englishman
of wellknown violent tendencies, and
the latter an Italian of openly eX
pressed love for the red flag, have
been in this city. Other agents OF
anarchist circles have also been quiet
ly tanning the flames.
Chairman McGrath who has held the
strikers In leash since he first oh
tanned control on the second DAY oi
so Of the strike, and who has since
stood almost alone between the city
and violence was at a meeting and pre-
sided. lie spoke; so did Mcqueen
The latter was tame. Then Galleant
spoke. McGrath could not understand
him but he worked his countrymei
, into a frenzy.
Instantly a mob formed abou
him. Into it rushed the Italians ant
then the other foreigners and mo
ment later the mob led by Gallean'
ewant down Belmont avenue.
