New York. June PR. q. Dun & Com.
poay'o Weekly Review OF Trade tomorrow
viii say:
81 definitely unfayorable element i ap-
parent IN the business situation. but there
are several uncertainties that engendel
conservatism. In regard to distribution 81
merchandise. the long period OF low tenn
p~erature has curtailed trade III dry goods
c~Ictil!ng and other Seasonable lines. Stocks
have accumulated and prospects for semi.
annual inventories are not altogether en-
couraging.
Railway earnings thus far available for
June sulpass last years by 1912 per cent.
and exceed those or 1901 by ia per cent.
After further moderate concessions in
prices of IRON and steel. especially in pig
IRON ard partly finished shapes the market
has steadled, and there are indications
that no additional reductions of consc-
quence are probable for the present. Buy
ers are still uncertain as to whether the
bottom has been reached. and there is no
eagerness to place contracts. Concessions
are no longer readily obtained, however.
and the tone is improving.
Manufacturers of cotton goods have
again advanced quotations in several
lines, notably sheetings, although there Is
no attempt to secure prices in proportion
to the present position Of the raw ma
terlal. Production is being steadily cur
tailed and supplies Of goods will soon be
abnormally light. No Improvement is re
ported IN the character OF reports from
jobbers or retailers at chief points of dis
tlibution, except that moderate success
has attended the semi-annual clearance
sales by local jobbers.
Failures this week were 223 in the
United States, against 200 last year.

old la ly, between eighty and ninety
years eff age, TO the county aims house
to spend as best she may these few
remaining days of her life. Her name,
we learned, Is Mrs. Kate Davis. She
has lived for 10 years in Kentucky,
coming to Tazewell several years ago
To live with relatives here, several of
whom, it is said, are worth consider
able money.
1t looks hard, and it is hard to be
cast aside in old age-to be carried off
To the poor house to die when one rs
no longer able to serve-poor and
feeble and tottering. Hazardous, if
not unfortunate, to grow old-to be
'in the way" to become a burden
to our friends and relatives. 1t is
difficult to believe that well-to-do
people will endeayor to put on the
public duty which they themselves
should feel bound to discharge. But
it is said that this is not the first of
the kind which has occurred here.
Poor old woman: Fortunate it is
that in her dire need there is an asy-
luna poor house where this aged
lady can find that care and pro-
lection which seems to have been
denied her outside. There may be
some explanation of this sad case
which has not been reported. If SD
the facts should be Stated
