Young Corbett as he never did for any

''If 1 lose to Corbett I will have no
excuse to offer, for I win train as I
never trained before" said McGovern
today. IT am good all over, and feel
confident that if the fight was to take
place in a week 1 would regain my
laurels- I will be as fit to fight when

of his punches to keep me off

OUTLOOK THE BEST,
Bradstreet Regards the Business Flu
ture - Particularly Bright.

New York, Aug. 2.-Bradstreet's says:
Trade is quiet, while attention is con-
centrated on crop and industrial devel-
opments. Generally lower prices for
farm products point to the former be-
ing largely favorable. Though weather
conditions of late have been more ac-
tive and favorable accounts Of back
ward weather have not been effaced or
repaired. As for fall and winter out
look, however the best is predicted. In
industrial affairs the outlook is certain
ly satisfactory. The iron and steel sit
uation is still largely a strong one. but
isolated examples OF weakness are In
sight.
''The railway situation Is one of the
best In years, and the outlook as to tom
mage is a nattering one, married only on
the prospect OF car shortages later on
reducing or curtailing Industrial opera
lions. Fiscal year earnings are excep-
tionally good; and It is probable that Ia
ken as a whole the railway earnings
for the half year will exceed 1901 de-
spite reduced anthracite coal car earn
ings.
Cotton has weakened quite steadily
on good growing crop conditions. though
rain and flood damage reports from
Texas helped to stay prices on some
days. Dry goods trade report&are quiet
Some improvement is noted at eastern
markets. but the fall jobbing trade
proves to be later than usual In arriv--
ing. Some weakness in sheetings and
other cottons il noted In wholesale cir
cles. Spring styles in woolens opened
this week are as predicted, shown at
advances on last season. Wool, though
quiet, is steady and higher grades are
held several cents per pound higher
than last year. New business In shoes
at Boston il confined largely to sample
lots. Shipments, after q temporary
squirt, are again shrinking. Leather 10
In better demand. Eastern shoe manu-
facturers being reported freely in the
west but tanners complain OF high coat
Of hides. while shoe manufacturers note
high cost OF leather and low cost OF their
finished product.
New business in pig iron for 1903 il
still of good volume. but not 80 active
as earlier. Current deliveries are still
delayed or insufficient, though helped
out by freer fmportations Of foreign
iron. The production Of the fiscal year
ending June 80. was In excessof H.
O00, 600 tons, the output in the hrst half
Of 1902 exceeding all records. If the
reduction in stocks and the increased
in ports are considered consumption
of 100000 tons in excess of this IL shown
to have occnnxr6d and the estimated out

A GRAND RABBI BURIAL.

times fallen out OF its place the police
took charge of the funeral and In strong
force escorted the car to the cemetery.
Here further trouble arose, as q lot OF
people wanted to throw earth into the pill

The 1901 record Of building viii be sur
passed this year. Lumber is stronger
and higher at the west and Is recov-
ering from summer dizziness at the
east. Receipts and shipments are far
ahead of last year at all points,"

says:
aside from heavy rains in Texas, the
weeks crop news is encouraging Man
ufacturing plants are well supplied as a
rule, iron and steel leading, followed
by textiles and footwear. Fuel scarcity
is still causing delay, although coke
ures of output and bituminous mines
are vigorously operated. At most points
retail trade is active and preparations
continue for heavy fall sales, while
spring lines are opened with good re-
suits. Railway earnings thus far avail
able for July show a gain of 33 per
cent over 1904 and EOS per cent over
1900.
with business in sight for at least a
year, the leading departments OF the
iron and steel industry may properly
be considered prosperous.
Notwithstanding the rapid increase in
producing capacity consumptive de-
mand has grown still faster, and the
record of pig. iron production at $685.
STA tons for the first half of 1902 is ac-
companied by the statement that unsold
stocks at the end of that period were

of the second half Of 1902 has brought
no diminutfon In inquiries, but some de-
crease in output, owing to scarcity of
fuel. In ports are very large in order
to keep the steel mills provided with
