New York, Sept. 6.-R. G. Dun
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade today
says:
Steady progress is reported in trade
and industry. Distribution OF merchan-
disc is heavy and a healthy tone is evil
dent. Prices are we'll maintained by
liberal consumption, which more than
neutralizes the effect of enlarged facll-
tiles for production. Domestic condl-
lions continue much better than those
existing abroad and home trade re-
ceived more attention than foreign
commerce. Farm products have APP
preciated in value owing to less favor
BILE weather and producers will be fully
compensated for any decrease in guam
tity by the higher quotations. Earn
ings OF railroads during August We're
SO per cent larger than year ago and
1879 per cent in excess of 1900.
Better deliveries of coke and LIBERAL
receipts of foreign material have les
sened the pressure in the iron and steel
industry and the situation is little less
congested, while quotations in a few
lines have weakened. Domestic de-
mands are not decreasing. much new
business having been placed and home
consumption will continue to call for
imports on q larger scale. Each week
brings out new records of coke output,
the upper and lower Connellsvilla re-
gions together having surpassed 800,
600 tons and the holidays gave the rail-
ways an opportunity to relieve the con-
ges,ion. Unless rapid progress is made
before the close of lake navigation. less
than two months hence, the situation
will become serious. New plants are
being added to the productive capacity
as rapidly as possible, but In railway
equipment, especially steel rail. orders
are already placed for much of next
year.
Quotations of footwear are fully
maintained at the recent advance.
Leather sells freely at the recent adj
vance in quotations. but hides are quiet.
Agricultural conditions are less sat
isfactory, and if the official estimate as
to cotton is not exaggerated the yield
will not be enough to sustain consumpt-
ion at the present rate. Wheat is COM
ing forward freely, tho receipts do not
equal the abnormally heavy movement
a year ago. Corn developed strength
because of fears that injury would be
done by frost, and the movement is
very slow compared with last years

His Old Life of Prosperous and In
dustrious African Burehers.

Now that the war in South Africa is
practically at an end the Boer refugees
who are living in Butte, are turning their
eyes toward the land for which they fought
and were exied.
On the morning of November s,, 1000
10 stauneh supporters of the cause of the
Beers, landed in Butte after a weary Jour
ney of many weeks from the shores OF
Africa. They offered their lives in de-
fense of the Transvaal and had fouph,
without wavering from October 6, 1900.
the date OF their enlistment. to September
a3, 1900, the day on which they were
mustered out of the Boer service.
Following is a list Of those who came
10 Butte, subsequently obtained work in
the mines and who are still here: Daniel
O'IIare, S. p. !. Matthews, Thomas Haw-
ney, B. Smith, A. Mckay, J. II. Laird. W.
Wilson +. Herman. j. o. Keefe. Dennis
Kidd, i. Anderson, II. Wilson, James Do
ran, J. NJ. McGuisanx and C. ]. Mallon
Two Are Americans.
Ot these men Kidd and Anderson are
Americans and the others are Of Irish de-
scent. Most of them would prefer to live
III South Africa. and as soon as they are
assured that the war with England is
thing OF the past they will probably drift
back to the land once roamed by the Zulu
and the kaffir
Some OF the refugees have interests in
South Africa which they would like to
look after once more. When the war with
Enland was declared they shouldered their
muskets with the same enthusiasm as the
dyed-in-the-wool Beers, and they Saw
service on many hard fought battlehelds
Said one of the best known of the
refugees this afternoon: I'VE arc pretty
well scattered just now, but as soon as we
know that the war is really at an end we
will not tarry much longer in Montana.
Want to Be Shown.
dispatches have it that peace has been
declared and that the Beers will have self
government. but of this our people have
got TO have evidence before they will re-
turn.
The average Roer and Boer sympa-
thizer is disrustful of British promises
They believe that the British want the
Beers to lay down their arms and that
after this is done the British will usurp all
authority.
IF the English can assure the Beers
that they intend TO mete out justice and
act honestly in the matter. then thousands
OF those who are now exiles on account Of
the Boer war and are wanderers over the
face of the earth. will return to a little
country down in South Africa that 10 them
is far dearer than all else.

United States and next TO the Transvaal
