IRON AND STEEL
 MAKE NEW RECORDS
Dun's Weekly Report Says Both
 Industries Are Prosperous
CONSUMPTION INCREASES
Cotton Goods Favor Purchasers On Account of the Big Crop Prospects. General Conditions Improved
 Throughout Country.

New York, August 1.-R G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Aside from the heavy rains in Texas the weeks crop news is encouraging Manufacturing plants are we'll occupied as rule with steel leading followed by textile end footwear
 Fuel scarcity is again causing delay and bitumnons mines are vigorously op- erated At most ponts retail trade is ac- tive and preparations cause for heavy fall sales, while spring lines are opened with good results. Railway earnings thus far for July show gain of S.S per cent over 1901 ana POS per cent over 1900
 With business in sight for at least a year, the leading departments of the iron and steel industry may be considered prosperous. Notwithstanding the rapid increase in producing capacity. consump- tive demand has grown still faster and the recent official report of a new high record of pig iron production at s,s0S, 57i tons for the first half of 1902 is accom- panied by the statement that unsold stocks at the end of that period were Otiy zVoOl lOHSs compared Nltn ofo,Oou lOilS a year previously. The first month of the second half of 1902 has brought no dimin- ution in inquiries, but some decrease in output owing to scarcity of fuel Im- ports are very large in order to keep the steel mills provided with material. The Offerings of foreign billets have checked the upward tendency of prices. Of en- zines. machinery and heavy hardware, there Is a serious shortage, orders for de- livery in 1902 being out of the question. Steel rails and structural material con tracts have been booked far ahead.
 In textile manufacturing the feature was the opening of mems wear worsted fabrics for next year with a general advance of 21h to 10 per cent Cotton goods tend in favor of the pur- chasers owing to the prospects of a large crop and the light export movements Shoe shops are active in spring samples and buyers are numerous In the Boston market A very striking advance in leath- CT this week has followed the upward movement of hides, stimulated by heavy purchases, single sale of 100000 sides Of hemloek sole being reported. Hides have made further sensational advances Colo rado steers reaching new high record prices. Grain prices declined sharply as the month of speculative manipulation drew to close and legitimate trading resumed a more normal volume.
 Cotton held fairly steady, more be- cause of the large short interest than the floods in Texas. Thus far it is probable that rains have dene more good than harm. Demands for consumption continue liberal. Meats have also shown tendency to seek slightly lower quotations but light ise any extensive relief in the immediate future

ENSLEY.
Democrats of steel City Form Strong
 Organization.

Ensley, August 1.-(Speciall-A large and enthusiastic audience was in attend ance at the auditorium of the city hall last night, and participated In the or ganization of the Ensley Democratic club, which now numbers about 800 cleo tors of Ensley, comprising almost the en- tire registered vote of the city. This club was pledged in the beginning to William D. Jelks for governor; Russell M Gun ningham of Ensley for lieutenant gov ernor.
 The organization was headed by Dr. J. E. Robbins, president; C. w. Mills, sec retary, with o. Mackey, C. H. Mandy A W. Muckinfuss, Henry Broda and John A. Bell, vice presidents. After the organ ization had been completed, City Attorney w. J. Martin was introduced by the pres ident and delivered a speech teeming with plain facts and sound political ad- vice.
 In word the history of important state events was rehearsed with clear ness and suggestions were made to the voter. Mr. Martin declared that he ap- peared not as a representative of any man or faction, except In so far as those men were the the living exponent of the doctrines and rights most sacred to the people His speech was applauded, and he closed with a plea for honesty of purpose in all matters, political as well as otherwise.
 His closing words were as follows "Two ways lie out before you-either Is accessible. The one leads into a valley whose dampness is the dampness of de- cay, whose poisonous odors have at tackled and slain all those who have gone hither. They are equally poisonous now, and will, if the mistakes of mankind per init it, destroy thousands of others. The other way Is hedged In by flowers, which bloom in eternal profusion. Their frag- rance is the fragrance of peace and hap piness, and fills the air with the beauty of it's presence. Choose ye, this day, be- tween these ways"
 Dr. R. M Cunningham delivered one of his characteristically appropriat, speeches, outlining clearly the issue oi the campaign and pointing out the dan. gers of political demagogery. He was roundly applauded from the start; his speech was brimful of facts and figures He told of the political history of Ala bama since 1874. In it's efforts to establish new constitution, he recited politically the efforts of the people to relieve them selves from the horrors of reconstruction and negro domination he outlined mi nutely the efforts of the people against the politician to rid the state of these evils, and he showed wherein and how they were defeated, until finally triumph had come and white supremacy was guaranteed. He showed that the main is sue in this campaign is yet to be tha constitution.

Governor Johnston Speaks for Two
 Hours, Denouncing Constitution.

Marion. August -(SpeciaD-Ex-Gov Joseph F. Johnston addressed a small audience in the court house here yester- day afternoon. He spoke for one and three-quarter hours. His speech was in- terspersed throughout with appeals to the 'hillbillies' and 'copperas-britches boys. :" In his speech Johnston again attacked the constitution. saying that in Jefferson county alone 10000 white men were dis franchised, and that the instrument was not legally ratified. He poked fun at the newspapers and said that Governor Jelks could have the 190 newspapers of Alabama and he would take the 190, 900 democrats.

 of the Hudson Bay company sold at record price; it was from the Esqimau bay section, and was remarkably dark and superb in silvery touches. It sold for S23OO, and was purchased by Mir. Jaeckel of New York. The Ketchikan Journal says: Talk about nothing growing in this wonder land of Alaska. By the Fourth of July O.W. Grant will have ripe strawber- ries. grown in his garden. A number of persons have all manner of vegeta- bles, grown in their own gardens. Any thing can be raised here from radishes to bananas. The beautiful yacht Lucero, built by Charles Fair for his pleasure yacht, ar rived in Seattle the other day. She was purchased by the Alaska Packing com pany and is to be used as tender for the combined salmon canneries. She is a gasoline yacht and is fitted up with electric lights, electric stoves and ev- erything to make her comfortable and handsome.
 A Kotsina correspondent of the Val dez News says: Mount Wrangel is in plain sight of here and great clouds of black can be seen rolling up from her. There is great abundance of lava ln the creek beds here. Gelineau und Bell, in exploring the summit of one Of the highest peaks in this vicinity, made some interesting discoveries. They found large number of petritied fish and what appeared to be walrus tusk. The tusk is 20 inches long but in talk inc it out it was broken in three pieces. They will bring these curios out with them this fall"
 The Star of the 11th inst. says that the steamer Koyukuk, just completed at the White Horse ship yards, was launched yesterday and will leave to- night on her long trip to the Koyukuk gold fields. Messrs. Butterfeld and Ott, U. S. postal clerks who have been here several days waiting for this boat, will be passengers on her as far as Dawson. where they will transfer on board two of the St. Michael boats be- longing to the N. c. Co.,, which has the U. s. mail contract for that section of Alaska. The Koyukuk was built by Capt. Jas. T. Gray, and is the lightest draught boat ever launched on the river.
 Displayed in the window of barber shop on Third Ave, near the postofhce, says the Dawson Nugget of the 7th inst, is gold pan containing some partially pulverized quartz which seen through the magnifying glass placed ln position so the contents can be view ed from the outside. is sufficient to make one gasp for breath and pause for a second rubber. The little parti- cles are fairly alive with gold varying in size from the point of a needle to a pinhead, some being as large as bird shot. If the sight is startling, the le- gend inscribed on a placard.. close at hand is even more so. It informs the credulous public that the quartz is one-third gold and outN of 5000 pounds of ore 123315 pounds of pure, virgin gold may be obtained. The assay val ue of the rock is given at the modest figure of s26S,SOO per ton, as shown by the certificate of John Nicholson, min eralogist. The extent of the vein, the location of the ledge, which would make King Solomon's famous produc- CTS pale into insignifcance, is mys' tery.
