Industries Remain at Low
Ebb Because of Generally
Quiet Distributive Demand
SECURITIES IRREGULAR
Situation Affected by Re
ports Concerning Winter
Wheat and the Corn Crop

NEW YORK, July S.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Trade and industry have been at a
low ebb this week. rejecting vacation
influences, summer shutdowns and gen
orally quiet distributive demand. Chief
interest, of course, centers in the cotton
situation, and the irregular movements
of securities are tTaceable TO uncertain
ty generated by reports of excessive
moisture in the winter wheat belt and
too cool weather for corn.
Reports from cotton and oats, how
ever, are favorable. Railway earnings
confirm earlier reports of good June re-
ports in the probable increase of 3 per
cent in the gross earnings. Wool con-
tinues the strongest of the textiles,
with shifting from the old to the new
clip, accompanied by an advance of
from l to cents per pound and con-
siderable buying by manufacturers here
and at the West. Primary receipts are
strong and two-thirds of the Montana
clip is already reported sold. The lum-
Der trade is rather quiet as a whole.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S review of trade to-
morrow will say:
Midsummer quiet prevails in mercan-
tile trade, and the past week has wit
messed much idle machinery at manu-
featuring plants, yet the tenor of re-
ports from leading cities indicates in
creased confidence in the future. The
combination of reduced output and
good weather for seasonable merchan-
disc has improved the situation by con-
tracing stocks of goods in the hands
of jobbers and retailers. Collections at
the end of the fiscal year were also a
little better than anticipated. Trans
porting lines are more active, as shown
by the increase OF AZ per cent In rail-
way earnings compared with June,
1903.
Quotations of iron and steel products
average slightly lower, although the
markets are almost nominal. Woolen
mills are confronted with a rising mar
ket for raw material, ranchmen at the
West holding the new clipped for bet

sustained by the London auction sales.

Insulting and offensive" are the cpl
thets applied by Admiral D. d. Porter
Post No. 169, Grand Army of the Re
public, to a fiaring brewery advertise
ment that pictures President Roosevelt
holding aloft a glass of foaming lager
beer. while in large lettering the merits
of the particular brew are eXtrava-
gantly set forth on a big signboard
stretching across a building at Four
teenth and Webster streets.
The old soldiers have by formal reso-
lutions made protest against the use
of the Presidents portrait for advertis-
ing purposes. They sent their objec-
tions to-day in writing to Mayor Olney,
with a request that action be taken to
remove what they declare is an insult
ing display.
The advertisement pictures the Presi-
dent in full Rough Rider uniform and
gazing in painted admiration at the
cooling beverage, as if enjoying the
treat soon to follow.
All of this appealed so strongly to
the patriotic members OF Porter Post
cupied by the President of the United

the post at it's last meeting, and the
following resolutions were adopted
unanimously:

Mayor Olney be called to this matter with a

At this afternoons meeting of the
Board of Public Works, Mayor Olney
referred the communication to City
Attorney McElroy. who said:
There is unfortunately no munich
pal ordinance which will apply to this
matter. The signboard is inside the
property line and cannot be legally
reached. But l suggest that the pro-
prietors of that advertisement be in

Porter Post, which 1 have no doubt
is felt by many citizens"
Secretary w. B. Fawcett of the
Board of Works was instructed to send

DECLARES HER UNCLE WAS
INCOMPETENT TO MAKE WILL
Contest Is Started Over the Estate of
Henry Heyland. Pioneer Resi-
dent of East Oakland


OAKLAND, July S.-A contest has
been started over the probating of the
viii of the late Henry Heyland by his
niece. Mrs. Mary Wright. to whom he
left but $3.50 out of an estate valued at
1000. The deceased was 80 years of
age ar the time of his death, and it is
claimed was not competent to make a
viii. He left his property to twenty
five different friends and relatives in
this country and Ireland. Mrs. Wright
is his nearest relative, and If successful
i'm her suit will be entitled to about a
third Of the entire estate.
The deceased was a well-known resi-
dent of East Oakland and owned an
extensive rock quarry at the end of
Thirteenth avenue, from which nc
gained a comfortable income. Two
years ago he was taken before the court
on a charge of incompetence. He had
become possessed with the idea that
fairies were dancing over his bed at
night and would insist upon sprinkling
water on the floor of his room under
the belief that this would keep them
away. His health improved afterward
and the visions left him. 1t is upon his
actions at that time that Mrs. Wright
bases her reasons for bringing the
present action.

The capture Of General Kuropatkin

would probably end Russia's chances
in the war. Certainly it would as
found the whole world. 1t is nos very
long since the Russian general made a
southerly movement, with a view to

another such general, he has gone to
disaster through yielding to such pres
sure. The capture of his army would
seem likely to drive the Russians out Of
the whole disputed territory and make
it a matter of the gravest difficulty for
them to begin new campaign against

1t is interesting to know the Russian
views on the unpreparedness for the
war. 1t is quite apparent that hosti-
lities broke out two years too soon for
Russia. A writer say in the st.
Petersburg Gazette: I'VE are un-
reody, not because we neglected to
make preparations, thanks to our Rus
sian carelessness, as foreigners main
tain, not because we did not perceive
the real intentions of the japanese, but
simply because it was manifestly i'm
possible for us to be ready, Our un-
preparedness was unavoidable. In fact
it is just the same as South Africa or
Somaliland for Great Britain, the Her
zero rebellion for Germany and the
Philippines for the Americans. Such
is this adversary-in no way on a level
with the general combined strength
and resource of our Empire, but locally
strong, strong in its preparedness,
knowing the condition of the country,
concentrating all it's strength on res
trcted area. And for a struggle a
gainst such an adversary under such
conditions we require, above all things,
time. Time gives us the possibility of
mastering in strength and infiicting on
the enemy that heavy blow which is
necessary to secure for us freedom from
danger in the Far East"
