Good YEAR AHEAD
r. G. Dun & Co. Finds the Out
look to Be Encouraging.
Railway Earnings Continue to
Show Decrease.
STILL A DRAWBACK
Weather Conditions Continue to
Retard Business.
A Slight Increase in Failures
for the Week.
STILL A DRAWBACK

New York, May 21.-R. C. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Reports of increased trade are re-
ceived from a few favored points but
the nation as a whole has not i'm
proved in commercial position during
the past week, in so far as current
distribution of merchandise or manu-
featuring is concerned. Prospects for
the future have improved somewhat,
however, owing to the progress made
in agriculture. Unless the crops suffer
an unusual setback hereafter. it
should be a good year for the farmers
and all other industries will feel the
stimulus.
The lake traffic is seriously inter
rupted by the strike but otherwise the
labor situation is not alarming. Lead
ing branches of manufactures are
extremely quiet, the recent slight gain
in iron and steel having disappeared,
and transporting interests are not
equal to last years REGARD, railway
earnings thus far available for May
showing a decrease of 6.6 per cent.
Hides, of late hating, continue in good
demand, branded steers and cows
showing the most strength. Larger
receipts Of foreign dry hides have
somewhat depressed prices.
Failures this week number 236 in
the United States against 191 last
year and II in Canada, compared with
IA a year ago.
BradstreetS says:
Weather conditions are still the APP
parent drawback in the trade and crop
situation Temperature have been too
cool to allow of free distribution of
spring and summer goods at retail and
they likewise retard growth and ger
mination of crops though permitting
good progress in seeding in various sec
tions of the country. In jobbing cir
Giles the feeling is that the spring trade
is past and gone and efforts are now
concentrated on fall business reports as
to which are fairly good, though not
equal to a year ago. Some faint evil
dences of Improvement are to be noted
particularly in the shoe and leather in
dustry and in wool at western primary
markets, but against this are to be CT
ted further weakness in iron, rather
more Quietness in lumber and talk of
further curtailment in cotton mill pro
duction. The industrial situation is
rather quieter but the most serious
strike of the year, that of masters and
pilots of lake vessels, continues with no
prospect of settlement. This has prac-
tically killed transportation on the
lakes and the coal ore, lumber and
grain trades exhibit the effects of the
almost total stOppage of the activity
of over 100000 men. Railways earnings
show recessions from last year. At
eastern markets wholesale trade in dry
goods is of moderate proportions though
symptoms of Improvement are not en-
tirely absent.
Rather more is reported doing in hides

Fraternal Society Season Is
About Over.
Nearly All Regular Conventions

ONE COMING IN JUNE

The lodge season, if the term may
be used, is practically over. The con-
ventions, chapter meetings, confer
ences and other annual gatherings
are completed and there Will be
dearth of happenings of real interest
until fall. Just such regular meetings
as the orders demand will be held
throughout the summer A great
many organizations hold their ma
tional meetings during June, July or
August, the vacation time" but the
lodges as a rule do not follow this
practice. They generally hold all
their meetings in the winter.
The only big meeting of the sum
mer in which Topeka is interested is
the annual convention of the knights
and Ladies of Security, to be held the
middle of June at St. Louis. The
Shriners gather at Atlantic City in
July. There is no shrine at Topeka,
and there are but two in the state,
one at Leavenworth and the other at
Salina. Representatives from those
places will go. The Shriners are plan
ming a trip to Honolulu, but this is
national in its scope and is purely, or
at least primarily, pleasure trip.
The big event of the summer, and it
comes in September. is the national
meeting of the Knights Templar at
San Francisco Great plans are now
being made for that gathering. A
gOOdly number of Topeka Tenn plarS
and their wives will make the trip. A
long and attractive itinerary has been
arranged.
The above named~are in reality all
the big meetings in which Topeka fra
ternal societies will be interested dur
ing the summer. There are no large
meetings to be held in Topeka until
fall, although the spring has been full
of them.
The Kansas delegates to the knights
