INTERNAL COMMERCE
SHOWS GOOD RECORD
General Increase as Compared
With Last Year.

Internal commerce conditions through
out the United States, as reflected by
the July report of the Department of
Commerce and Labor. through its bureau
of statistics, are quite satisfactory Re
ceipts of live stock at five markets this
year to the end OF July amounted to
17,7S4, SAT head. Last year, 11,2S2 ,Oo4
head were reported to the correspond
ing date. and 1888. 1888 head in 1901 In
1901 a total OF 374,976 cars OF stock ar
rived at the same five markets, 800, 4ls
cars in 1902, and 341, SOP cars in 1903.
The total receipts of stock for this year
were divided as follows: AT Chicago,
s,577,s47 head in 1895 cars; at Kansas

cars. July receipts OF cattle at Chicago
this year were the heaviest since 1892,
with the single exception of those OF
July, 1901. The increase in natives as
compared with range and Texan stocks
was characteristic of July arrivals
The state OF the provision market.
as indicated by stocks on hand at the
Ave cities on July 81, is significant of
lowering prices. On that date, in 1901.
there were 2s7, s01,s 45 pounds of cut
meats reported on hand In 1902 the
corresponding reserve was 209, 1885,. OS7
pounds, compared with 2s2. 4ss.44O pounds
in 1903.
Backwardness of the season Is re-
flected in the figures OF wheat receipts
during July, the first month of the new
crop year. At the four winter wheat
markets OF Kansas City, st. Louis, To-
ledo and Detroit, II .344. 16S bushels were
received in July. 1901. as compared with
II, 695 ,O67 bushels in July, 1903.

The rates which commercial borrow
ers are compelled to pay will probably
be the cause of a falling off in the net
results when the years earnings are
counted. High rates for aecommoda-
tions which they are compelled to pay
through the distrust of the outlook and
contraction of credit not only affects
the dividend return. but the purchasing
power of others who are similarly af-
fected by the same agencies. Upon the
great manufacturing concerns the bur-
den of the money rates lies the heaviest.
Whether it is because the large railway
systems acquired such funds as they
needed at cheaper rates than the in
dustrials, is a matter which also enters
into the consideration of the question
The rate paid was simply question of
collateral and relative credit.
Europe is buying American securities
In fair volume, chiefly railroad bonds,
while home investors are willing to alb
sorb attractive mortgage issues, show
ing, however, no disposition to buy the
bonds OF concerns that are appealing for
public help. The latter is shown in the
failure of the proposed s12.000,00o bond
issue OF the Consolidated Lake Superior
Company, subscriptions amounting to
less than $4,000 600. II Is now thought
that a thorough reorganization OF the
company will be made, and it is under
stood that a syndicate will be formed to
supply $4,000. 900 to put the concern on
it's feet. This concern started out with
great intentions and promising busi-
ness, but without ample working capital,
the result of which was collapse in its
financial condition and heavy losses to
