OUTLOOK FOR TRADE.

The trade reviews for last week show
that business is excellent. Dun says that
conditions are as favorable as last year.
and that In many lines the volume OF
transactions has increased.
Jobbers report fall business opening
with excellent prospects, and manufac-
turing plants are we'll occupied with the
exception Of cotton mills. Distribution Of
merchandise Is so heavy that railway
equipment already proves inadequate. al
though crops are not the factor that they
will be in few weeks.
Earnings for July exceeded last year
by 1871 per cent, and those Of 1901 by 2O.2
per cent.
The news from tho cotton fields OF the
South and the grain fields Of the West Is
also favorable, and in most cities bank
clearings for the week show an increase.
This was notably the case with Richmond,
where the increase was twenty per cent.
But for all that Wall Street is still hav-
ing spasms, and In the brief session Of tho
Stock Exchange yesterday prices crum-
bled away and several new low records
were mace III SUCH SlOChS DIS ~. dul,
Atchison and Union Pacific. 1t will not do
to say that this slump in prices Is a
purely Wall Street affair" The slump
has impaired credit and shaken conf
dence 1t has lesscned the capacity OF
individual and railroad corporations to
procure money for. needful improvements,
and If the situation does not improve
such corporations will have to live more
economically. which means that their
demands for supplies will be curtailed.
That would mean less work for the work
men. and probably a cut In wages.
We do not mean to take gloomy view,
for when great nation like ours Is ac-
lively at work 1t can run for long time
by it's own momentum. But 1t is always

look a situation, however ugly 1t may be,

been discounting q new situation In the
business world, and while we think the

carried too far, at least for the present,

have to be scaled immensely, unless these

Objection has been made, too, that one
dollar per day is al unreasonaelS large
sum of money to be paid to any private
soldier In support of this view 1t is
urged that the enlisted men OF tho United
states army are paid only thirteen dol
lars per month; but it seems to us that
that is not necessarily good argument,
for United States soldiers are fed, clothed
and armed by the government, whereas
the Cuban volunteer usually was en-
pected to "and" himself. However, the
treaty Of this country with Cuba pro-
hbits the latter from mourning debts,
the interest upon which cannot be paid
out of the ordinary revenues Of the re-
public. At this very time Cuba Is spend
