IMPROVED TRADE CONDITIONS
SHOWN IN COMMERCIAL WORLD.
Increased Activity Is Noted in
Most All the Lines of
Manufacturing.

New York, June 1e-R. G. Dun's weekly
review Of trade tomorrow will say:
U-nseasonably low temperatures. together with
excessive precipitation at many points. have
retarded the distribution of merchandise. Taking
the country whole. however the net result
has been satisfactory. better crop prospects ac-
celebrating forward business and charging order
lists of manufacturers.
Railway earnings thus far reported for June
exceed last years by IS per cent and those Of
1901 by 1i.S per cent. . eos
Conditions in the iron and steel industry are
sufficiently confusing to prevent any definite
tendency. although factors calculated TO produce
weakness appear to preponderate. Special sales
Of imported pig iron have been made at con-
cessions but this is attributed to delay in
transportation and forced sale by owners. Yet
a few months ago similar concessions were i'm
possible. and it is apparent that the combination
OF unprecedented home production and conserva-
tive buying has taken control Of the situation
away from sellers.
Three depressing factors have existed The
labor situation. condition OF crops. and the de-
cline in prices of stocks. although all have i'm
proved and may soon cease TO exercise any bale
ful effect. Meanwhile uncertainty as TO the
has become generally acknowledged and even ex-
opinion.
Latest reports of imports show a large de-
crease except as to ore, while the export trade
In flnsheG steel tends to eNpaE1.
At the cotton mills there is fair current acttv-
ity. although spinners whose stocks Of raw ma
business for future delivery but refuse to con-
slider propositions, else place their figures at
prOhibftive position. Demands are chiefly lin
tied to immediate consumption.
Lower grades OF lightweight woollens for next
spring have been opened at advances of 2ls cents
to cents a yard.
Reports regarding the footwear industry are
satisfactory. Foreign trade Is remarkably well
maintained, considering the numerous factors
that operate.
Failures this week were 213 in the United
States, against 1874 last year and twerty-four
in Canada, compared with nineteen year ago.

UNITED STATES ACCUSED
OF MILITARY AGGRESSION.
Canadian Press Opposes Reconstruct
ton OF Old Fort Ontario. rs
Planned by Secretary Root.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Oswego, n. ". June le--The recent visit
of the Secretary of War to this city. with
the subsequent announcement of the appTo-
priation of $4,000 for rebuilding the his
toric old Fort Ontario and its conversion
into battalion post. has been the subject
of unfavorable comment by the Canadian
press.
The Ottawa Citizen. the organ of the Con-
servative party. yesterday printed stirring
editorial accusing the United states of mil
itary aggression against Canada. The Citf-
zen says:
The American Government has decided
to spend S2Jgpu on the preliminary con-
struction OF fort at Oswego.
protection of the harbor in case of war
with Canada and the providing OF a strong
hold from which vessels of war can issue
TO prey upon Canadian lake commerce and
cities.
ACTIONS speak louder than words. and the
appropriation OF a large sum of money for
a work whose object is one of military
aggression toward this country has more
weight than all the platitudes Of platform
SeEtimentalists
Moreover. it is probably the Inaugural
ton OF a scheme OF Northern forts along
the Great Lakes. AT the same time the mer-
camille and marine journals of the United
States. which more particularly in
terested in lake shipping and ship build
ing. are claTor!ng Tor the Government of
the Republic to build warships on the lakes.
The ostensible argument is the encour-
aEerlent of shipbuilding, and ii is speciously
alleged that the war vessels so constructed
are to he taken to the seaboard for use on
the ocean. Such an agitation is too trans
parent not to he seen through.
1T means nothing but military aggression
toward Canada. Why build expensive forth
agitation for a fleet Of warships on the
Great LakeS?"

Chicago. June 19.-The general opinion
among Western railroad men is that the
. Western Passenger Association. with all its
bureaus. is on the verge of collapse. Its
downfall is likely TO be accompanied by a
widespread rate war.
Indications have pointed in this direction
for some tire, but the result of yesterdays
meeting of the Executive Committee of the
association and of the Chicago-St Paul
lines and brought the expected end consid-
erably nearer, and has made dissolution
almost inevitable
No hope is entertained that the recon-
mendation of the Executive Committee to
substitute a 2.0G-nlile book good on all
trains for the credential form of inter-
changeable mileage now in use will be
adopted.
