TRADE CONDITIONS.

Q A. SEXTON, Special Agent

Improvement.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Confidence in continued Improvement
of trade has been somewhat unsettled
by sensational events in the wheat
market and the lack of harmony be-
tween labor and capital. 1t is becom-
ing evident that estimates of the wheat
crop must be reduced, although other
agricultural news is much better than
usual.
Otherwise news of the week his con
tanned much of an encouraging nature.
In several manufacturing lines there Is
less idle machinery, and visiting retail
buyers have stimulated jobbing trade.
especially in dry goods and kindred
lines. Railway earnings thus fur re-
ported for the first week of August
show q small gain of IA per cent as
compared with last years figures,
whereas recent preceding weeks showed
more or less loss in comparison with
1903.
Liabilities Of commercial failures

to S3.S9G,090, of which ~, SG0,550 were
in manufacturing. $1.7S4.4S2 in trad

RAISE CRY OF DISTRESS.
Negroes in National Convention
View with Alarm the Rapid
Spread of Race Hatred.

st. Louis. Sept. 9.-The National
Afro-American council, in session
here, representing over 100000 OF
colcred people Of the United States.
has issued an address to the country
protesting against the "inhuman and
indiscriminate system Of depriving
citizens of our country Of life and lib
erty without due process Of law"
The address further states: I'VE view
with alarm the rapid spread Of race
prejudice in this country. AS a race
we have striven earnestly and patient
ly to impress this nation with our sim
cere desire to be identified with its
prosperity and to even share its fall
ures, II failures must come. It should
not, therefore, be matter Of surprise
when we raise our voices against such
treatment that is so unwarranted.
We wish to declare that the cry OF
social equality made by those who seek
our humiliation Is without the least
foundation and those who make this
argument know that 1t is mere sub
terfuge."

BIG STRIKE DECLARED OFF.
Union Employees of Packing Houses
Made n Failure of Effort to
Gain Concessions.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-The strike Of the
butcher workmen which has demoral-
lied the meat packing industry
throughout the country for the last
two months. was officially declared of
last night by President Michael J. Dom
nelly, of the Amalgamated Meat Cut
tiers and Butcher Workmen Of Amer
lea.
The strike of the members OF the
affiliated unions at the stock yards
who quit work in sympathy with the
butchers has also been called of. The
general body was at first in favor OF
continuing the strike, but. Mr.. Don
nelly, who was present, announced
that the men were defeated and that
In order to save his union from being
entirely disrupted he would order his
men to return to work, no matter what
course might be taken by other unions.
During the strike approximately 3d.
900 persons have been involved in the
struggle, which is estimated to have
cost the men about 100000 in wages
as against an estimated loss of 81 $780,
900 to the packers in loss of business
and in increased expenses. The great
est number of men idle in Chicago dur
ing the strike was $4,000 and the total
in the country outside Of this city In
estimated to be about the same.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 9.-Beside the
formation of two fresh army corps as
the first answer to the Japanese sue

chief. Gen. Kaulbars will go out with
the two army corps now organizing In
the governments OF Kazan, Odessa,

been ordered by telegraph from Vladi-
vostok to Mukden. This decision is

slant achievements.
