NEW YORK, July 2.-Passengers on
the French. line steamer La Lorraine,
which arrived from Havre, declare
that they saw a gigantic sea serpent
on Sunday, June 20, at 11:20 a. m, in
latitude 1850, longitude 1706, when
about $40 miles from Havre. The
morning was fine, they say, and most
of tile crew and passengers were ON
deck when the sea serpent appeared
on the port quarter about 400 yards
away, having just come TO the surface,
accompanied by what looked like a
small waterspout, the water in reality
being cast into the air by what they
took to be the monsters fins. The ser
pent they say, remained some time at
the surface, then dived and reappeai
ed at frequent intervals, and Mt one
time fully fifteen yards of water show
ed between what was evidently the
creatures head and an enormous fold
of its body, which rose fully three
yards above the water.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
II. G. Dun a co. Report That Halt
Yearly Returns Are EncOurnginE,

II. G. Dun a co. Report That Halt
Yearly Returns Are Encouraging.
NEW YORK July pr G. Dun K
CO.'S weekly review of trade says:
Although the new fiscal year opens
with an extended holiday, many manu-
featuring plants having closed for all OF
next week. While the exchanges have nd
journcI from Friday TO Tuesday. there
is much encouragement in the evil
dences of returning confidence. and sta
tlsticS for the past six months indicate
that there is 80 little reason for an
ticipating better things in the last half
of the year. Half yearly returns of in.
sovencieS show that Liabilities have
steadily decreased, each month record
Ing smaller losses than the one pre-
ceding, an evidence that most of the
weak spots are eliminated and the evils
of imitation largely corrected.
Railway earnings. that in earlier
months showed losses of , per cent or
more in comparison with last year. eX-
hibit an increase Of 2.G per cent for
of trade for the last week testify to
quiet condition, but scarcely more so
than is customary at this time OF the
year. while inquiries in several manu-
featuring lines promise a better distri-
button in the near future.
Prospects are still favorable for large
returns on the farms despite some loss
from storms during the past week.
Foreign commerce at this port for the
last week shows decreases of S1,213.-
G32 in exports and sos. 225 in imports
as compared with the same week last
year.
The local money market conditions
continue easy aud associated bank re-
serves large, but the demand for ac-
cOmmodation in the security market is
light. This loss in volume of specula.
tion partly accounts for the decrease
Of 2S.6 per cent in bank exchanges at
this city during the past week as com
pared with last year.
Confidence grows in the iron and
steel industry, although as yet there is
little support in the shape of incre" az,
orders. Bright prospects for I'll
yield of cotton had a no',,noi ineranaa

IT,
ne crop year closed with primary
receipts about 100000 bushels less
than 1903, while the loss in exports
was double that quantity Little of an
Instructive nature is heard regarding
the progress of the corn crop. but the
majority of reports are favorable and
cotton trading shows no evidence of
confidence in higher prices. Receipts
of 3,174069 bushels compare with
4,3SS,67S bushels last year, and Allan
tic coast shipments of 436,729 bushels
fall far short of the 965.Sl bushels ex-

SELLS & DOWNS CIRCUS.
The Attraction in Fargo Today Was
the Elephant and Big CircuS-The
Parade was The Best Seen Here
This SeaSOn-The Small
Boy and His Big
Brothers in
Evidence.

The great circus of Sells & Downs
arrived in Fargo yesterday morning.
The immense tents were pitched and
everything put in readiness for the
big performances this afternoon and
evening. The small boys Toasted their
eyes on all that there was to see on
the grounds yesterday and it was a
late hour before they could be per-
suaded to go home.
The pageant of beautifully gilded
chariots and animal wagons, gaily
caparisoned horses which formed the
parade left the grounds promptly at
10 O'Clock and made a tour of the
principal streets of this city and
Moorehead. Large crowds of people
lined every street through which the
parade passed.
In every particular it was the great
est and most elaborate circus parade
which has been seen in Fargo this
season and if it is the barometer for
the performances under the tent they
will be great.
First the sightseers were inspired by
the beauty of the band wagon drawn
by eight spirited chestnut steeds---
speaking of the horses, the hundreds
uSeu III IllO Cav dlCClhC NCiC ~ olIC" III
themselves, all fat and sleek and
splendidly groomed, and their har-
ness and trappings harmonized with
the whole. There was nothing cheap
and makeshift.
Eight young ladies, costumed in
white silk habits with silk hats to
match--riding white horses astride,
made a pretty picture. Then there
were the animals in open cages ,camels
and elephants.
The attendance in the tents this
afternoon was very large.- fhe pro-
gram carried OUT abounded with
wonderful feats of horsemaDship, by
ladies and gentlemen, tumbling and
the most astounding feats in the air
ever seen in the city. The Martell
family of bicycle riders was one ofthe
star features. What they can not do
ON bicycles is not worth mentioning.
By far not the least feature were the
clowns who plunged the vast audience
into roars of laughter whenever they
appeared in the rings. Every per-
former was a top notcher and If aLy-
thing, Manager Robson says, the per-
formance will be better this evening
