TELL OF TRADE CONDITIONS.
REPORTS OF THE READING COM
MERcIAL AGENCIES.
The Weeks DevelopmentsgTend {,
Strengthen Confidence-Retail
Business Improves.

New York, June 81. r. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says
aside from the strike Of garment
workers, developments of the past
week have tended to strengthen conf
dence. One political convention has
ended, and, although its action was al
most a foregone conclusion, the indus
trial atmosphere is slightly clearer.
The fiscal year is drawing to a close
with national finance in sound condi-
ton, the small shrinkage in federal
customs receipts being no cause for
uneasiness. The most important trade
influence just now is the progress OF
the crops, and the past week has
brought no setback. Seasonable
merchandise, retail business improving
very noticeably at many cities, al
though it is not customary to find sales
increasing at this time. Railway
earnings thus far for June r sur
prisingly satisfactory. an increase over
last year Of AZ per cent. being reported.
Failures this week numbered 227 in
the United States against 223 last year,
and 80 in Canada compared with 19 a
year ago.
Bradstreet's says: There has been
some enlargement in demand at the
west this week, but the betterment as
yet is largely one of tone and is predi-
Gated upon the unquestionably better
crop advices received from nearly all
sections. Reports from the leading in
dustries are not significant Of any
particular reaction from the dizziness
noted heretofore. The iron trade APP
pears to be grounding upon the bot
tom as regards prices, and curtailment
is becoming widespread. No par
ticular improvement in collections is
yet to be seen, and a long spell of
warm weather is still regarded as
necessary if retail trade in seasonable
goods is to be stimulated"

learned to brace himself up with elec-

word as moderation In the dictionary.
He takes 9 dose or his fayorite tonic

treatment is SO beneficial for many sys-
TENS that even excessive applications
cannot prove really harmful. Still, as

Many of the electric fluid fends thus be-
come their own doctors and treat them-

The News In Russia.
st. Petersburg, June 27.-The admir-
atty has no direct news of the naval bat
tie fought off Port Arthur June %, but
the announcement of the engagement,
evidently created no surprise, here, the
authorities having been aware that the
squadron of Rear Admiral Without was
ready to put to sea at a moments mo-
tice. On Thursday the correspondent
OF the press was informed, as announced
In these dispatches, that important
naval developments were anticipated.
If an actual engagement occurred the
admiralty cannot believe that Admiral
Togo got off practically scot free. Par
ticular solicitude. therefore, is expressed
to knoW'whetheT the Russian battleship
P~eresviet was sunk by a mine as she
was emerging from the harbor, or by a
projectile, as it was known that the
Japanese had repeatedly tried to mine
the harbor.
