PROSPECTS FOR
CROPS BRIGHTER
Chief Encouraging Factor in the
World of Trade and
Industry.

New York, July 23.-R. G. Dun in
his weekly Review of Trade today
says: Encouraging factors predomi-
nate. Little definite increase is seen
in the distribution of merchandise. but
developments of the week promise bet
ter things in the near future. The
most important influence is brighter
crop prospects.
For the present the best news is
coming from the large cities where
warm weather has stimulated the re-
tail trade in light weight fabrics and
jobbers report orders from agricul-
turA communities better than from
manufacturing centers.
Reports of railway earnings for July
so far show only small loss of l per
cent in comparison with the same
period of last year.
In the textile markets the most i'm
portant event is the decision of op-
eratives at Fall River to strike next
Monday against a reduction of wages.
Considering the fact that there is lit
tie demand and stocks of goods are
ample for current needs, it is prob
able that the trade will not be serious
ly affected. In the wOolen goods di-
vision the feature of new lines, means
wear at moderate advances.
Failures of the week numbered 213

The eldest daughter of the car is
Olga, born Nov. ID, 1895. His second
child was Tatiana, born June IL,

Point Still at Issue.
St. Petersburg, July 23.-RuSSia has
agreed to the release of the British
steamer Malacca, but the question of
the status of the vessels of the Russian
volunteer fleet remains unsettled. The
natural inference from the British
note is that Great Britain takes a firm
stand upon the question of the irregu-
lar position of these vessels, and will
resist by force if necessary, not only
further seizures by them, but even the
examination of British ships.

France Active.
London, July 2.3-It is learned that
France used her utmost influence, both
at St. Petersburg and London, to bring
about a settlement of the crisis.
France definitely urged Russia to give
way to Great Britain on all points.
This action may be taken as a warming
to Russia that she need expect no help
from France if a rupture with Great
Britain were due to Russian aggress-
ion. If this is true, then to France
must be given the credit for averting
a great war. which could hardly fail
to have involved all Europe.
