TRADE REPORT

Bradstreets report on trade last
week says: Weather Developments
have been largely favorable and, cou.
pied with the great ease of money,
makes an optimistic feeling in trade
and speculation. The future seems
more and more secure, but the imme-
date present does not in all instances
present SO satisfactory an appearance,
Warmer weather has continued to help
cases made up for the disadvantages
caused by the heretofore backward sea-
sons. With few exceptions summer re
sort business has not equaled expecta-
tions. Railway earnings are really fiat.
tering, June returns on nearly 1000, 900
miles Of road showing an aggregate
gain of per cent on this year. In the
matter of actual business improvement
is noted the demand for finished pro-
ducts Of iron and steel; and lumber
seems to be recovering from the tenn
porary depression noted at the begin
ming of July.
Iron and steel trade conditions are
surprisingly good, but no more so than
the manufacturers themselves, who at
the middle of July find the output for
the last half year practically booked.
Wheat Including four exports for
the week ended July II aggregate g..
755,222 bushels, against 4,404,115 last
week, and 5,225,820 in this week last
year. Wheat exports since July l ag
gregate 9,7S4,337 bushels, against H.
1853 121 last season. Business failures
in the United States for the week end
ed July II number ia, as against 1876
last week, 20S in this week last year.
Failures in Canada number IT,
against % last week.

More About Tracy.

Harry Tracy, the Oregon bandit,
has been identified. He is Harry
Tracy Seyerens of Grand Rapids, Wis.
Harry Tracy Severens was born and
reared in Pittsfeld, Wis, but his GRIM
inal career began after he left for the
west. When in the penitentiary at
Salem, Ore, he wrote home to his
grandfather asking him to undertake
to get pardon for him. but the old
gentleman thought him too hard a
citizen to be at large and declined to
aid him.
J. L. Severens is a wealthy man,
and during the past few months has
been an invalid, and the news of the
depredations of his grandson have
been kept from him.
After Harry Tracy Severens left
Wisconsin he went to Cokato, Mimi,
where he learned to shoot the rife.
He seemed eager to become west
erner and went to Helena, Mont,
where he soon became notorious as a
crack shot, but his criminal career be-
gan when he was convicted of murder
in Oregon two years ago.

Premier BnIfour's speech.

London, July 20-At the opening of
new conservative club at Fulham. the
premier, Balfour, made his first extra par
liamentary speech as premier. He said he
believed that with the cessation of war in
South Africa a new era of friendly rela-
tons between Great Britain and the cen
trail powers had set in and would continue.
The views expressed on the continent
during the war regarding the British peo-
pie and British troops had caused surprise
and Indignation, but the controversies
were ended. He hoped they would never
be renewed, and he be ieyed that those who
accused the country in Wantonly attack
ing a free people would see in the future
what British ideas of liberty, colonial self
government and purity of administration
would do to amalgamate the races and to
make of South Africa what Great Britain
mas made of so many other portions of the
world.
Referring to Lord Salisbury. the pre-
mer said he had left the country at peace
with the whole world and he tMr Bal
four believed they could look forward TO
ever increasing good relations with CONT
mental nations and to a prolonged period
of international good will He trusted
that the great family of civilized nations
would be what it ought to be, a brother
hood with like interests and like aims.
