WILL DRESS THE IooRRorEs.
Nudity of the Wild Tribe at St. LeuIs
 VIII Re Covered.

Washington, June 24-The Igorrotes and the Negritos representatives of the wild tribes of the Philippine islands on exhibition at the St. Louis exposition are to be clothed so that their nudity can not be subject of criticism, Directions to this effect have been given to the re- sponsible officials at St Louis by Colonel Edwards, chief of the Insuiar bureau Of the war department. who has been on a visit to the exposition, and is now on his way home.
 Some representations on the subject of the dress of these peopie, or the lack of dress and the suggestion that 1t might be very properly matter of criticism, have been made to the war department by inc fiuentia1 persons.
 Officials of the war department also are anxious that the representatives of these wild tribes who they say form only a small proportion of the population of the Philippines, shall not be unduly exploited to the disadvantage of the scouts and constabulary Filipinos who are at the exposition. The officials at St. Louis, &C., cordingly, will make plain by intelligently posted notices the exact condition of af- fairs so that visitors to the fair will not get the impression that the wild tribes are an important element of the Filipino population.

eRApsr7EET,s REVIEW. :

New York, June 24-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 There has been some enlargement In demand at the west this week, but the betterment as yet is largely one of tone and Is predicted upon the unquestionably better crop advices received from nearly all sections Reports from the leading industries are not significant of any par ticular reaction from the dullnes noted heretofore. The iron trade appears to be grounding upon the bottom as regards prices and curtailment is becoming wide spread For the leading textile indus tries the story is one of almost midsum- mer dullness. Prices generally, except cotton and textiles, show few important changes and really evince considerable steadiness. Railway earnings for the elapsed portion of June promise to make rather more favorable comparisons than the early spring months, while bank clearings betray irregularity coincident with varying influences affecting bank op- erations at different centers and are be- low last week and last year. 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 reasonable goods Is to be stimulated. Some good sized sales of
 
 central valley at close to lowest prices on the present movement. In finished pro- ducts, dullness prevails at eastern mar lSets, but there is claimed to be more in- quiry at Chicago on A lot being bought by the Japanese government. Chicago re- ports steel hoops higher, billets easier and bar iron lower, while old material is declining at all markets. Western reports show manufacturing as quiet, and the season Is not yet actively begun.
 Wool has fispned up mainly because old supplies are scarce. The key of the sit- uation of course Is the demand for wool en goods which will be closely watched from now on. Reports from the coth- ing trade the country over are on the whole optimistic.
 Wheat including flour exports for the week ending June 23 aggregate 1,21,437 bushels against 2044251 last week. From July l. 1903, to date they aggregate 132, ,727,- 439 bushels against 220,199691 last season. Corn exports for the week aggregate 3s7 062 bushels against 29s,99S last week. From July l. 1903, to date. they aggregate 1,01s,9T bushels against 65,5S5,6l4 last sea- son.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending June 23 number 2l5 against 1s1 last week. III In the like week in 1903 In Canada failures for the week number 23 as against IS last week.

CROPS CAUSING CONCERN
Dun Says There Have Been Few Changes In the Situation at Iron Furnaces and Steel Mills
 Average Some Lower.

New York, June 24.-R. c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of trade tomorrow will say;
 Aside from the strike of the. iron work CTS, developments of the past week have tended to strengthen confidence. One poll tieal convention has ended. and although It's action was almost foregone con- clusion, the industrial atmosphere is slightly clearer. The fiscal year Is draw Ing to a close with national finance In sound condition, the small .shrinkage In general customs receipts being no cause for uneasness. The most important trade | influences just now is the progress of the crops and the past week has brought no set back. Reasonable weather has stimu- lated distribution of merchandise retail business improving very noticeably at many centers. Railway earnings thus far for June are surprisingly satisfactory, an increase over last year of 47 per cent be- ing reported.
 Few changes are noted in the situation at iron furnaces and steel mills. Nominal ly the list of prices remains the same, although small concessions. are reported cn some orders. The average of all pro- | cause of the declines which were prac- tically confined to pig iron. Many authorities anticipate revival of the iron industry in the fall, and others believe that there will be no material | change until spring. Bituminous coal and coke feel the stagntaion keenly. and are not moving freely.
 Western hide markets have remained dull.
 Footwear salesmen returning from western trip report a good sample busi- ness in spring shoes, but wholesalers are conservative regarding supplementary fall orders.
 In the primary market for cotton goods further reductions in prices have occur red, chiefly in staple lines of printed cali- cos. Thus far the response to lower prices has been most discouraging.
 New lines of light woolens have been opened without changing conditions, but the closing of the heavy weight goods has proved much better than anticipated. The raw wool market is very strong de- spite small buying by the mills.
 Failures this week numbered 227 in the United States against z2S last year and In Canada 32 copared with 19 year ago.

RAILROAD TUNNEL CAVES IN.
VIII Be Two or Three Days Before
 Southern Train Can Proceed.

Columbus. Ga. June A.-With a crash forty feet of the Southern railroad tun- mel at Pine Mountain, near Warm Springs, caved in early today. blocking the track. The cause of the cave-in is mystery as no train was passing to jar the earth.
 Several weeks ago the woodwork in the tunnel burned, and in replacing it only the stoutest tinbers were used and the top of the tunnel was thoroughly crib bed. It will be Two or three days before trains can go through the mountain again. It is reported that an explosive was heard near the mountain about the time of the cave-in and this has given rise to theory that the tunnel was wrecked by some one maliciously disposed. Trains were notified of the accident before they reached the mountain.
