TRADE CONDITIONS.
z. G. Dun q Co.'s Report of the
Weeks Trade.

z. G. Dun & Co.'s Report of the
Weeks Trade.
NEW YORK, June 6.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
The elements provided the only un-
favorable developments of the week,
and, while they may not prove far
reaching in their effect, the first result
Is seen in greater conservatism. Floods
damaged property and delayed traffic
in the southwest, a tornado wrecked a
southern manufacturing center, excess
i've rains retarded planting and other
wise injured crops at many western
points, while, on the other hand, seri-
GUS misfortune has come to hay, vege-
tables and fruit at the east through
drought, and great timber tracts have
been devastated by fire. While all of
these disasters will exert only a local
influence, the combined reduction in
purchasing power must to an apprecia-
BILE extent diminish the distribution of
merchandise. 1t is somewhat doubtful
whether any material loss of the great
staple crops will follow, as it has be-
come almost an axiom that excessive
moisture never produces a great fam
Inc.
The week opened with a further
large addition to the army of the un-
employed, but many plants have since
resumed, and settlements of other dis
putes will take effect on Monday. Dis
patches regarding trade conditions at
the leading cities are generally encour-
aging.
Railway earnings in May were 12.7
per cent larger than last year and 25.4
per cent greater than in 1901. Bank
exchanges for the week at New York
were 1914 per cent larger than last
year, and at other leading cities the
increase averaged per cent. Com
parison with 1901 is not instructive,
owing to the difference in number of
business days.
There is still an inclination to defer
the placing of contracts for iron and
steel. The United States Steel corpora
ton has bought 100000 tons of pig
iron, chiefly for delivery during the
third quarter, but the recent readjust-
ment of quotations has not stimulated
general activity in the industry.
Textile industries show no material
Improvement. Lowell mills resumed,
but were only able to secure about
third of their employees the first week,
while a considerable part of the Phila-
delphia mill capacity is idle.

GONE TO HER REWARD.
Death at the Center Monday Of Mrs Laura II
Merrill at the Age of 81.

Merrill at the Age of 81.
The death at her home at Benning-
ton Center Monday evening of Mrs
Laura Henrietta Merrill, wife of the
late James Seymour Merrill, took
out of the village one who, during her
long life, had been interested in every
thing brought up for its best interests,
and one of whom it may we'll be said:
''She rests from her labors, and her
works do follow her. ="
Mrs Merrill survived her husband
about % years. She was "a years of
age, and was born in Bennington
Center in the house next to the one In
which she died her entire life having
been spent in the two. She was the
only daughter of John Van Der Speigle
who located in town in 1910 and who
became a leading citizen and magis-
trate of the town. Her mother, Laura
Hubbell, was a daughter of Lieut.
Aaron Hubbell who fought at the bat
tie of Bennington. Her ancestors
were among the early settlers of the
town.
When young, Mrs Merrill united
with the old First church and has al
ways been among its working members
until her health began to give out.
She has not been we'll for some time
but her death came unexpectedly as
she was feeling in fair health in the
morning Heart failure set in during
the day and her sons were sent for.
She was conscious almost to the end
which was peaceful and calm.
Mrs Merrill is survived by four
sons, John V. D. S., Robert fl, and
Charles F., who reside at the Center,
Edward, who is in New York and one
daughter, Mrs r. w. Roberts of Ben
nington Center. All except Edward
were with her when she died. Her
funeral will be held this afternoon
from the house. Rev Warren Morse
will officiate. The interment will be
made in the old cemetery at the Cen
ter, the four sons acting as bearers,
