Some OF the most elaborate displays in

From the colonial contingents angry

that the war Office arranged that all
troops sent to the coronation shall, with
the exception OF the cavalry, be utilized
to line the route OF the procession, in
stead of actually partaking in it, As the
major part of the visiting contingents
consist of infantry, the arrangement has
created bitter disappointment. The gov.

Lord Strdthcona, and Lord Pelldtier, in

TRADE REPORT.

II. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade last week says:
Trade at the East is more quiet. ow-
ing to the advancing season, and the
bad effect of prolonged labor contro-
yersies 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 process.
The best indication of continued
prosperity Is the fact that quotations
do not recede, even in the lines where
ut present there is only moderate
degree of activity. Railway earnings
thus far reported for June increased
80 over 1900.
Quiet conditions prevail in footwear
markets. A strong silver market has
revived purchases for export to China.
Supplemental buying of woolens is
also limited. Shoe shops in New Eng
land nave more orders, yet most fac
tories operate only part of the 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
encouraging reports are received from
most points. Domestic grain makes
good progress, but bad news has been
received from abroad and the outlook
is favorable for large exports.
Failures for the week number 1874
In the United States, against 1873 last
year. and 10 in Canada, against IA

Lester a Threatened Point.
A special from Hot Springs, Wash,

Lester is now the threatened point.
The forests on each side Of the vii

the situation during most of the day
that the relief train kept steam up

notice with the Tacoma fire engine.
Vt that time the danger was thought
ot have passed and the train returned
