COMMERCIAL REPORT.
The Manufacturing situation Active-Iroa
ana Steel Rushed to Keep Up with De-
mand-FO0d Products Strung.

New York, May 1O.-Bradstreet's
commercial report says: Improved
weather conditions furnish the key
note for the more cheerful tone in
distributive trade. Copious rains,
while not repairing all the damage
to winter wheat done by the recent
drought in Kansas, seem to have put
the rest of the crop out of anything
like immediate danger. The situa-
ton in manufacturing generally may
be summed up in one word, "activ-
ity," the only important exception to
this being noted in the wooden in
dustry, which is interferred with by
strikes. The unsettled anthracite
coal situation also .overhangs the
eastern trade situation. Iron and
steel trades are still pushed to the
utmost tension to keep up with cur
rent demand. Prices, particularly Of
food production, show practically UNI
diminished strength, four-ffths of all
staples being as high, if not higher,
than week ago, while only one
fifth are lower, while as compared
with year ago four-Afths Of all
prices have advanced.
Wheat, including -four, exports for
the week aggregate 3,302,24O bushels,
against 5,30S,155 last week and L.
17S,S72 last year. Wheat exports,
July /, 1901, to date AS weeks),
aggregate 2l9, 167,o62 bushels, against
179,S95,699 last season. Corn exports
aggregate 196,755 bushels, against
12S,679 last week and 1,5S3,S31 last
year. July /, 1901, to date, corn ex-
ports are 25,655,619 bushels, against
l51017,542 last season.
Business failures for the week in
the United States number 179,
against ia last week, 1893 in this
week last year, ia in 1900, 1869 in 1899
and $50 in 1898.

CAMERON AS A DELEGATE
Considerable local interest has been
aroused here over the announcement
that ex-senator Cameron viii be a
delegate to the next Republican state
convention. Mr.. Cameron has retained
his residence at Harrisburg, and this
city would be delighted to have him
serve as one Of its delegates. II
would be a reminder OF the palmy days
when Cameron was a name to conjure
with, not only here but all over the
state. Mr. Cameron, although not ac-
! lively participating in public affairs
for some time, takes a lively interest
in Pennsylvania politics, and I have It
on pretty good authority that he Is
seriously concerned over the outcome
Of a possible factional clash in this
years campaign. He is anxious for a
reunited and harmonious party, and
should he appear ia the coming state
convention as a delegate it viii be to
advocate and advance the cause Of
party harmony and allay the spirit Of
faction
There has been some speculation as
to the possible candidacy Of Senator
Cameron himself for governor, but It
is entirely unauthorized and without
foundation. He has settled the matter
| by declaring TO his intimate friends in
the most emphatic terms that he was
not and would not be a candidate This
declaration was made short time ago
when Hon. T. V. Cooper, Of Delaware
county, was industriously advocating
Mr. Cameron's nomination. and it can
be accepted as definite. This does
not however, lessen his interest in the
fortunes of the party, with which his
name has been so closely identified for
many years. No Pennsylvania Repub-
lican is more anxious than Mr. Gamer
on for the elimination Of factionism
from this years canvass, the restora-
tion Of harmony and the success Of the
party His friends in Harrisburg say
he will do all he can to bring about
/
he will be an important factor in the
next state convention whether he ap-
pears there as a delegate or not.
