TELL OF TRADE SITUATION
REVIEW OF GENERAL CoNDI-
TIoNS FOR THE WEEK.
Little Change Is Disclosed, But Con-
fidence in the Future
Is Growing.

New York, June 11.-R. G. Dun &
Current trade conditions are without
change and collections continue slow
as a rule. but there is growing conf
dence in the future, dealers eXhibl,ng
an inclination to prepare for fall and
winter on larger scale. There is still
much complaint that the weather is un-
seasonable for retail distribution, and
payments are not prompt. Reports re-
garding the building trades are almost
uniformly favorable, structural work
increasing as the season advances, and
transporting prospects are Fighter on
the lakes. Railway earnings, now prac-
tically complete for April, show loss
Of only 2.9 per cent, compared with
last year, and surpass the correspond
ing month of any preceding year. The
decline in the cost of living has con-
tinued without interruption since
March l. List prices for iron and steel
products are maintained in most cases,
mainly because of agreements rather
than the support Of consumption. De-
mand Is extremely limited.
Commercial failures this week in
the United States are 227 against 220
last week, 226 the preceding week and
215 the corresponding week last year.
Failures in Canada number 20 against
20 last week, II the preceding week
and II last year."
Bradstreets says: Trade and in.
dustry re quiet as a whole and inter.
est centers largely on the progress OF
the crops. This latter situation is not
clearly defined as yet, and spotted con,
| ditions are in evidence, but with the
general trend in the direction Of i'm.
provement. TIE lake strike, though
apparently weakening, is still detri
mental to many lines of business along
the northern border In portions OF
Colorado disorders growing out OF
unionistic troubles have affected bust
ness, but the situation is apparently
on the mend. With lower prices there
has come an expansion of export trade
in a number of manufactured lines
notably iron and steel, leather and
lumber, but foreign demand for oul
cereals shows no improvement"

the EFFORTS Of this worthy denomina-

There Is abundant room for more
genuine evangelization Of the popula-

Of this denomination with its long
history should be a Joy TO every man,

The Reformed church in its doc

nations of the country, and those VINO
are familiar with its history hail the
coming of this branch of protestant

its name may seem new to some PEG
pie here, it by no means indicates
that it is unknown. When 1t has .

THE REFORMED CHURCH.

Editors rald:-Attention has al
ready been called to an effort which
is being made to locate a Reformed
church in our city. The very fact
that the attention of this denomina-
ton has been called to this city as a
suitable and desirable field of oper-
alton is worthy Of consideration. 1t
shows that OSkaloosa has attained a
reputation for religious growth and
that it offers opportunities for still
greaer advancement. The more
thrifty, wideawake churches are To-
Gated here, the better will be the
moral and religious atmosphere of
this city. Therefore, this movement

--Apropos the procedure of killing
