Trade Report.

Evidence multiplies that the past
week saw the turning point for the
bettering of crop, trade and labor mat
ters. improvement in these lines con-
tinued and, accelerated by the wet
weather of the last week, has begun to
be reflected in actual demand at the
west and south. Although cool, rainy
weather is still drawback at the east,
many signs of progress in the right d.
rection are noticed. Northwest advices
are Of course largely favorable and
the same is true on the Pacific coast.
Cereal prices favor holders, not, as
heretofore, because Of fears Of domes-
tic crop damage, but because of ex-
pected increase in foreign necessities.
Some drawbacks are of course to be
noted.
Wool is steady at the east, while
selling readily enough at the leading
western primary markets.
Lumber is feeling the effects Of ex-
listing strikes and the discouragement
caused by labor troubles generally. but
is still well held at primary points.
Wheat, including -four, exports for
the week ending June IS, aggregate
3,617,415 bushels. Wheat exports since
July 1 aggregate 21s.0s9,537 bushels.
Business failures numbered 165.

ton, ten miles south of Holbrook, in
which Harry Barrett was killed and

his recovery.

Council at Lowell, Mass, Admits Can
Not Win.
Lowell, Mass, June 23.-The textile
council has declared the strike in the
Lowell mills at an end. Every union
affiliated with the council was repre-
sented and the vote was unanimous.
Male spinners and loom fixers we're in
cluded in this vote, despite statements
that they would oppose return to
work. President Conroy later said:
1--WE now worship at the altar Of de-
feat, but later we shall rise again and
conquer"
William H. Southworth, Of the
agents, said it would be impossible to
start the remainder of the machinery
so as to employ at once all who will
come back. and added:
1T is for the selling agents and the
treasurers to decide In view Of the mar
ket whether we shall attempt to run
in full"
The strike began on March 30 and
involved about 100 operatives. The
mills we're closed until June 1, when
the agents opened the gates and the
majority of the operatives went back
to work. The strike has cost in wages
about $1,300,000. The high price Of
cotton precluded any hope of success
of the strikers for a ten per cent in
crease.
