WHY IT CHANGED.

The Reno Journal some months
ago was lauding jim Yerington
to The skies as the only man ia
whose hands Nevada S exhibit at
the st. Louis Exposition could
be placed to do the State any
good. Since Jim accepted the
nomination for Congressman on
the Republican ticket. the Jour
nal has been publishing articles
to the effect that the exhibit is a
poor one, badly placed and not
looked after properly. And the
Carson Appeal responds to the
pull of the string aud reiterates
the statements. The advertising
this State has received from her
exhibits at the Chicago, Bufato
and St. Louis Fairs has done her
much good, and Jim Yerington
has managed them all.

THE INDUSTRIAL SITUATION.

Business conditions and pros
poets have not been so satisfac-
tory for months rs they are to-
day. The commercial failures
which showed such q decline in
both May and June, show a still
further falling off for July, the
liabilities Of July, 1904, being
only So. 1870 as compared
with SIC. 751,245 a year ago
Savings bank deposits r still
increasing in industrial centers,
there having been an increase of
deposits to the amount of $54,.
672.S92 in New York State alone
during the past year ending
June Goth.
Renewed confidence is shown
in iron and steel circles; there is
a much steadier tone in the dry
goods market, and the trading in
the wool market is unpre-
cedented.
Tt confidence felt in the snc-
cess of the Republican candi'
dates and a Republican House Of
Representatives seems to per.
wade all industrial and CONNER
cial centers. This Is seen par
ticularly in the early fall buying
and the orders for new equipment
and extension of railroads and
general construction. Railroads
are showing increased earnings
and the prospects for fall bust
ness both in moving Of crops and
general merchandise transporta.
ton is fully up to last years
record. Added to this splendid
outlook is the most satisfactory
bulletin of the Bureau OF Labor
showing that the purchasing
power of the masses is still in
creasing, wages having advanced
in greater ratio than cost of liv.
ing. Many mills will soon start
up after a few weeks Of idleness,
and in spite of labor troubles in
some centers there is an under
tone of confidence throughout
the country. This will increase
from week to week as the time
passes for harvesting the crops
and entering upon the fall bust.
,ss. In other words we seem
to be on the threshold Of another
period of Republican good times
and prosperity.
