Rraastreet.s Review.

New York. Aug. 10. 0.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
 Conservatism rules the buying move ment which while gaining in force at some leading markets still lacks the snap shown in former years at this time. The lateness of the crop sea- son for one thing, reports of wheat and cotton crop deterioration fortified by continued wheat price advances and 'revisions of quotations. notably in iron and steel and cotton goods, breed a feeling of indecision. Reports from the great industries show little change during the week. Cotton goods buy ing at first hands is rather backward and does not readily respond to the re- auctions in bIeached goods. There is. however, more doing in jobbing cir cles. Production of cotton goods is at a low point because of the Fall River strike and also because of the curtail- ment forced upon manufacturers by the change from old high priced to new low priced materials. Wool is steady and rather firmer on a quiet buying movement. Woolen goods are in fair inquiry but the higher basis of cost is a bar to fullest development in this line. Little expansion is shown in the demand for shoes. The scarcity of hides has caused the shutdown of a number of tanneries and the strength of the market is shown in leather quo tations. half cent per pound higher than a month ago.
 Eastern shoe shipments are per cent smaller for the week and per cent smaller for the season than year ago.
 The feature of the iron trade this week has been the open recognition of conditions claimed to exist for some time past in finished products. A wholesale cut in steel prices. particu larlv in wire and nails has been an nounced and existing pools in some products. notably structural material and plates are reported shaky. Light rails are being cut in price and even some heavy sections are selling below the $2S standard. Uncertainty as to how far the cuts will go restricted buying and also affects the cruder forms. There is no particular change to note in pig iron.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending August IS num- Der 2O3 against 167 last week and 166 in the like week in 1903. In Canada failures number 25 as against 16 fast week and IA in this week year ago.

Beginning with the new year, l
feel that it is quite needful that we
have patrons meetings conducted
at each building. Some suitable
hour should be selected and these
meetings held once each month.
The children feel that the Chicka-

and are taking all the interest that
could be expected. If the schools
are to become a great power for
the upbuilding OF the young people
this interest must spread 70 tile en-

must be a closer feeling Of conf
dence and friendship between the
teachers and the public. All
should understand the manage
ment and general workings of the
school. A loyalty must be foster
ed that will make the school ire
sistible. We have been favored
with many visits from patrons,
still many Of our people have never
been inside the school building
where their children spend their
school days. We want all to feel
that a part of the responsibility for
the education of the children be-

feel inclined TO want something to

did not secure it from Contractor Fer
guson, whom he is charged with killing
by the use of dynamite.
Attorney Burke. for the defense OBJ
jeCted to the question Of the money
being brought In as evidence when
Richard Winkler of the First National
bank was put on the stand. Winkler
was also accepted as interpreter for
tn, Croatians, although Burke objected
- him because he had been subpoe-
naed as a witness. Winkler identified
Kovovick and Pattroyick as the men
fer whom he had exchanged the money
and to whom he had sold tickets to
CARLSBAD, about the middle Of last Oc-
tober. Wlnkler testified that Kovo-
wick gave his name as Michael Peperac
