be simply to leave host of and children to be

This Is the practical effect of our policy in the

uusiness Quiet In the East, but Bef-
 ter Tn the West.
 NEW YORK, June 21.-R. c. Dun &s Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 Trade at the east is more quiet ow- ing to the advancing season, and the bad effect of prolonged labor contro- versies is being felt in certain lines. Reports from the interior and the far west are more encouraging, bountiful harvests being expected, while the light stocks carried over from the pre- vious season assure profitable prices.
 Uncertainty regarding their ability to secure pig iron at reasonable prices Is making producers of steel cautious in accepting contracts that call for de- livery at even remote dates Raw ma terial is undoubtedly in light supply, and the anthracite coal strike has sus- pended work at number of furnaces. Coke production is attaining new rec ords each week in the endeayor to supply all requirements, and better railway facilities are making unprece- dented shipments from the Connalls- vile region.
 Quiet conditions prevail in eastern dry goods and footwear markets. Dis tribution of textiles from second hands is only of average volume, and it is ev- ideEt that jobbers' supplies require only moderate replenishing.
 It is noteworthy that prices in all textile lines are firmly held despite the slow movement, indicating confidence on the part of sellers. Shoe shops in New England have more orders, yet most factories only operate part time, and some are entirely idle. Leather is dull and foreign dry hides weaker.
 Lack of rain in the southwest is the only seriously unfavorable crop indi- cation of the week, while exceptional ly encouraging reports are received from most points.
 Failures for the week numbered 194 iH the United States against 193 last year and 19 in Canada against IA year ago.

Another run was added to the score in the next inning and then the run getting ceased.
 The rest of the game was marked by no special features of interest aside from 'Kiernans two-bagger in the fifth and Lindemann's in the eighth. It was one. two, three out in most of the innings. The game ended with Bridgeport having scored 8 runs to Waterbury's l. The score:

TALK DAY AND NIGHT
Many Speeches Tn House on
 Philippine Measure.
CANAL BILL SENT TO CONFERENCE.
Report Gains Circulation That the House Will Agree to the Senate Amendment Without n
 Long Struggle.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Debate on the Philippine civil government bill continued yesterday in the house from Il a. m. to , D. nl and at session held last night. The speakers were given close attention, each side enthusiastic ally applauding it's representative ora tors. Mr. Jones (Va.), the ranking mi nority member of the insu1ar affairs committee, concluded his speech begun Thursday. The other speakers were Messrs. Hamilton (Mich.) and Kahn (Cal) for the bill and Mir. Patterson (Tenn.) against it. MT. Kahn's speech was largely an interesting personal narrative of his experiences in the Philippines last summer The isthmian canal bill was sent to conference after the senate amendment had been non- concurred in. The house reiterated the position it had taken on the army ap- propriation bill by ignoring the action of the senate and sending the bill back to the senate after voting to adhere to its disagreement to the objectionable army post amendments.
 Soon after the house had sent the canal bill to conference reports gained circulation among members that there was not likely to be protracted strug- gle ill conference and that the senate amendment probably would be the ba- sis of the ultimate agreement. One of the house conferees, MT. Fletcher (Minn), frankly stated to his associ- ates that he thought an agreement would be reached on the Panama amendment. Chairman Hepburn was not prepared, however, to concede that the fight was over.
 No business of importance was trans acted by the senate in open session ex- cept to agree to a conference report finally disposing of the Military acad- emy appropriation bill. Soon after the disposition of routine business the sen- ate went into executive session and at 3:10 D. m. adjourned until Monday.
