AT A Low EBB.
Trade and Industry Has Been
Depressed This Week.
Business Is Affected by Summer
Vacations and Weather.

New York, July 9.-Bradstreet says:
Trade and industry have been at a
low ebb this week, rejecting vaca-
lions, summer shutdowns and gener-
ally quiet distributive demand. Chief
interest of course, centers in the crop
situation and the irregular movement
of securities and of prices of staples
are traceable to uncertainty generated
by reports of excessive moisture in the
winter wheat belt and too cool wealth
er for corn. Reports from cotton and
oats, however. are favorable.
Railway earnings confirm earlier
reports Of good June reports in the
probable increase of per cent. in
gross earnings. Wool continues the
strongest of the textiles, shifting from
the old to the new clip accompanied
by an advance of from 1 to cents
per pound, inducing considerable buy
ing by manufacturers here and at the
west. Primary receipts are strong
and two-thirds of the Montana crop
is reported already sold.
The lumber trade is rather quiet as
a whole. Business failures in the
United States for week ending July
number 179 against 204 last week, 1874
in the like week in 1903, 1875 in 1902,
1919 in 1901 and 221 in 1900.
Wheat, including -four, exports for
the week ending July Z aggregate
S7S,9l0 bushels against 1,127,SS5 last
week, 2,3SO,41 this week last year.
4,404,115 in 1902, and 5.016.149 in
1901.
Corn exports for the week aggre-
gate 613,124 bushels against 536,eS
last week; 1.525,OS4 a year ago. 1885,
OBJ in 1902 and 2,SO0,73S in 1901.
Dun & Co.'S Review of Trade says:
Midsummer quiet prevails in mercantile
lines and the past week has witnessed
much idle machinery at manufacturing
plants, yet the tenro of reports from
leading cities indicates increasing con-
fdence in the future. The combination
of goods in the hands of jobbers and re-
seaSonable merchandise has improved
the situation by the contracting stocks
of goods in the handsof jobbers and re-
tailers- Collections at the end of the
fiscal year were also little better
than anticipated. Transporting lines
are more active as shown by the in
crease of AZ per cent in railway earn
ings compared with June, 1908. Quota
lions of iron and steel products average
slightly lower, although the markets
are almost nominal. Wooden mills are
confronted with a rising market for
raw material, ranchnen at the west

hope and pride. We appeal to the
south, whose unclouded vision and
iron courage saw and fought the way
for half century; whose Jefferson
awoke the dumb defiance of develop
ment into a voice that cried out to
the world a curse upon the rule OF
kings and a blessing upon a new born
republic; whose Madison translated
the logic of events and the law OF
progress into the constitution of the
country, whose Jackson reclaimed the
lost places of the far south and DEM
ocraticized the politics of the nation;
and whose soldiers showed the Won
dering world the finest fruits of brain
and nerve and hearts that ripen in
her temperate sun and who through
all the sons she lost and all the sons
she saved and tears shed amid the hor-
rorful ruins of war-and through all
the patient labor of after years SO
wrought for human happiness that
all the world exclaims: Her great
ness in peace is greater than her valor
in war;
We appeal to you of the old south
and the new to join with US in this
contest for the supremacy of our par
ty. We appeal to the west, whose
frontier struggles carried our civili-
zation to the Pacific slope, whose
courage conquered the plain and for
est whose faithful labor has built
beautiful cities, clear through to the
Rockies; we appeal to you as he did
who followed your leadership through
eight long years of controversy that
you turn and follow him now and
when victory awaits us in November.
We appeal to New England's faithful
sentiment among her historic hills, in
the name of all her unfaltering and
brilliant Democrats, living and dead,
to join US in our labor for success. We
appeal to every Democrat from every
where to forget the bitter warfare of
the past, forget the strife and anger
of the old other days; abandon all
the grudge and rdncor of party dis
content, and recalling with ever in
creasing pride the triumphs of our so
years of a constitutional government
of liberty and peace-here and now
resolve to make the future record that
respondent reach of time in which lib
erty and peace went up and down the
nations of the earth, building their
kingdom in the hearts of men and
gathering the harvest of genius and
toll; in which reason struck from the
hand of force the sword of hate and
plucked from the heart of war the
germ of greed; in which the people
of all lands and tongues, awakened
to hope by the inspiration of our
example followed with the march of
years the luminous pathway leading
to a destiny beyond the reach of vision
and within the province of God. In
this spirit New York dominates for
president of the United States Alton
B. Parker.
