Unproftably low prices have had the effect of curtalling production in the iron and steel industry
 Labor and other costs of production with the single exception of fuel, are much higher. while consumers are slow to purchase.
 Rails and other track supplies are in good demand especially for prompt ship ment' and more orders are placed for structural material for bridges and build ings brisk demand is noted for mer- chant pipe. Sheet mills and some other divisions of the industry are In an un- certain position, owing to the labor sit uation.
 More machinery will be idle next week at the cotton mills, the new crop of raw material coming forward very slow and available stocks being held at prohlbi- tive prices Buyers of cotton goods in the primary market still adhere rigidy to the policy of covering only immediate requirements, but there is a perceptl- ble increase In the volume of business
 Woolen goods are quiet and steady Wool Is firm at eastern markets. For wardings of foot wear are more prompt, yet there is apprehension in the jobbing trade regarding September deliveries.
 Failures this week in the United States are 19l against 176 last week. and 200 the corresponding week last year; and in Canada, ' against 33 last week, and 19 last year.

TONE OF BUSINESS
 IS CONSERVATIVE Tall Jobbing Trade Reports h.
 dicate Improvement LABOR SITUATION BETTER Gross Earnings of Railroads Continue Large, But Are curtailed By the
 Cost of Operation and
 Heavy Improvements.
LABOR SITUATION BETTER

New York. September 4-Bradstreets & tomorrow will say:
 Crop developments have been mostly favorable, fall jobbing trade reports in- dicate further improvements and mone- tary conditions show less tension. The tone of general business Is conservative. Manufacturing industry shows continued activity except in such lines as cotton and silk production. which note the in- fluence of special conditions and some lines of iron and steel. Evidence of an approaching slackening in the output of anthracite coal is to be seen. Some improvement Is noted in the car scarcity trouble and gross earnings of railroads continue large but increased cost of oper- ations or heavy Improvements limit net receipts Failures show only the usual midsummer volume so far as number is concerned, but August suspensions foot up larger total of liabilities, particularly of small financial institutions and manu- facturers. Collections are still rather backward though some improvement Is noted where backward crops have been realized upon.
 The tobacco crop promises well in Vir- ginia, Connecticut and Ohio.
 Dry goods are in better demand from eastern jobbers. but business at first hand is limited by uncertainty as to the out look for raw cotton prices and the small stocks of goods now being carried In woolen goods good demand for spring weights Is noted, but worsteds drag slight ly. Wool is firm on demand sufficiently to cover sales of goods. Lumber is active and firm at the west, but rather slow and draggy at the east. Solid jewery manu- facturers are busy at the east but the labor situation here is also unsettled

 Lightning yesterday afternoon
 struck the Church of the Redeemer at New Haven and knocked a hole through tWelve-inch wall at the base of the steeple, knocking score of bricks into Orange street and setting fire to the adjoining woodwork The blaze was quickly put out.
 John G. Yocher, aged 69 years, a Ger man laborer, was repairing a chimney
 at Derby yesterday afternoon when a small ladder which he had placed against the chimney slipped, hurling him over the edge of the roof fifty feet 70 the ground. The mans right tenn pie was crushed in and death was in- stantaneous.

 hold off the work for one year at least.
 An unpleasant exhibition at the ca- thedraI in Hartford yesterday forenoon previous to and during the wedding of pr Bailey and Miss Julie Smith Reilly, the dancing teacher, was the subject of no little adverse criticism. Forget
 ting, apparently, that the ceremony and the church itself are entitled to re- spect from all visitors, many of the unusually large audience stood up on the seats, although mindful of the or
 derIy people sitting behind them. Father Shanley passed around among ] the people who were standing on the seats and reminded them that they were in a church to witness a sacred ceremony and not in q theater, much 1 less a circus, and be insisted that they should take their seats.

Board Will Meet in Hartford at Il
 O'Clock Tomorrow Morning.

Board Will Meet in Hartford at Il O'Clock Tomorrow Morning. The special commission to organize the state police establishment will meet tomorrow morning at II o'clock in the office of the comptroller at the capitol The five members are Frank T. Brown of Norwich, John H. Perry of South port, Henry F. English of New Ha- ven, James Huntington of Woodbury and Marcus H. Holcomb of Southing- ton. They will choose chairman and secretary of thir own board and then proceed to elect chief and assist ant chief of the state police and will subsequently choose at the recommen- dation of the chief from five to ten po- licemen.
 It is the current opinion that the board will make no choice of chief or subordinates at the coming meeting. They have had no preliminary gather ing and there is strong feeling among them that there should be complete agreement. The effort will be to have unanimous choice.
 Various candidates have applied to one or another of the board and these names which have not yet even been grouped will all be submitted and dis cussed and then in all probability there will be an adjournment for further consideration of the matter and the men themselves.

THE LAW AND THE FOURTH.
What the Revised Statutes Allow and
 What They Prohibit.


 The revised statutes, model of 1902. nave something to say about the ob- serVance of the Fourth of July, and what they have to say is, in substance, re-enactment of previous Legislation. NOW IS a good time to put fresh paint on the public memory and recall just what the restrictions are.
 In the first place, dealers who sen nrecrackers which contain any othOp explosive than gunpowder run the risk of dumping into $1O fine. The use oe hrecrackers except on the Fourth of July or other public holiday, under such regulations as the local authori~ ties may Formulate, is a misdemeanor punishable by fine of S5. The dis charge of a cannon or other firearm loaded with ball, shot Or other hard substance, on July 4, within the cor porafe limits of any city or borough makes the offender liable to be Jerked before the police court and made to pay fine of ST, besides getting a lot Of unpleasant notoriety,
 Still another statutory regulation is designed to make the day tolerable for sick folks. The provision is that if Q person is sick or liable to be injured in
 
 tice to that effect signed by a practic- ing physician may be posted in front of the house on July 8 and 4, and any person who makes a disturbing racket on the Fourth within 400 feet of the premises is branded as a nisdemean- ant, and the offense renders him liable to fine not exceeding $5.
 But Section 1,2SS is so important and is so comprehensive in it's scope that it's worth while to reproduce the whole provision:
 Every person who, between sunset on the third of July and four o'clock in the forenoon of the following day, or between eleven o'clock in the even ing of July fourth and sunrise of the following day, shall discharge any can non, pistol, gun, firecracker, torpedo, or any explosive, causing loud re- port, or who shall by ringing bell, blowing a horn, beating drum. or in any other manner make any disturb ing noise, or make bonfire. shall be fined not more tham five do1lars.''
 That restriction is imposed Tn order that people may get some sleep the night before and the night after, It's a good regulation To sum up the sit L cept on the holiday itself; disturbing noises are forbidden within 400 feet of the house containing a sick person, if q warning notice is posted: fire crackers mustn't contain any explosive except gunpowder: and the celebra- tion of Independence day isn't permit ted to begin before 4 o'clock in the morning or to keep mp after ii o'clock at night.
 All these Limitations are wise, and all should be strictly enforced The disposition to begin the frecracker racket two or three days before the Fourth should be suppressed. for it's without excuse. Even with all the re- strictions carefully observed The op- portunities to make the day intoierable for people with nerves are abundant Hartford Post.
