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

New York, June 13.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade saws.
Current trade conditions are without
change and collections continue slow
as a rule, but there is growing conf
dence in the future, dealers exhibiting
an inclination to prepare for fall and
WINTER on a larger scale. There is still
muc complaint that the weather is un-
~seasonable for retail distribution, and
payments are not, prompt. Reports re-
gardlng the building trades are almost
uniformly favorable, structural work
increasing as the season advances. and
transporting prospects are brighter on
the axes. Railway earnings, now prac-
tlcaily complete for April, show a 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-
tlnued without interruption since
March :. 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
2l5 the corresponding week last year.
Failures in Canada number 20 against
~ last week, II the preceding week
and ID last year"
Bradstreet's says: TRADE and in.
dustry are 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. The 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 b 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 our
cereals shows no improvement"

Bows Club Debate.

The members Of the Working Boys
Literary and Debating Club at its Tues
day night meeting discussed the topic
The Russo-Japanese War and It's
Causes"
There was a good attendance of mem
bers and visitors when the meeting was
called to order by the president, Mrs. J.
D. Tyson. As on former occasions the
club was entertained with recitations by
several of the members.
When the subject Of debate and the
list of speakers had been announced by
Secretary Randall Gardner. debate was
opened The subject, Resolved. that
Japan Is more deserving OF sympathy
than Russia. gave occasion for thought
ana ete,ds- The sympathizers Of Japan.
Stephen Latchford, Dallas Bolick, and
Brian Loman. presented IN a glowing
manner the wonderful progress of the
japanese empire the justice of Japan 5
cause. and the indomitable courage OF
Japanese fighters on land and sea. and
denounced Russia for her despOtic gov
eminent. and a lack of good faith in
dealings with other powers. The mega
tives. Tasmer PeaIow, wallace Gardner,
Albert AIsworth. and James Langly
championed the cause OF Russia in a
determined manner, contending that
Russia being a Christian nation and
Japan a heather country. the sympathy
of the civilized world should be with
the nation that processes the doctrines
of Christianity; that IN the present war
between the Caucasians and Mongo-
nans the white race should triumph
over an inferior race. as progress and
civilization depend upon the continued
supremacy of the white race.
The speakers of the negative also as
serted that as Russia was a true friend
of America when we were sorely in
need OF friends at a critical period IN
our history. the sympathy Of Americans
should be with Russia at the present
time
The judges. Mrs. Gardner. Mrs, Foster,
and Mr.. Link. were. however. convinced
that the champions of japan had offer
ed better arguments, and so rendered
their decision.

admits generally also that the vegeta-
