GOOD TRADE FACTORS
Past Weeks Developments
Promise Better Things In
the Near Future
THE REGULAR TRADE REVIEW
Orders From Agricultural Commune
ties Much Better Than From Manu-
featuring Contradiction Goods In
dlstry Faces Another Disturbance.
Retail Trade Bargain Sales

New York, July PR. G. Dunn &
Co.'S weekly review of trade today
says:
Encouraging factors predominant
distribution of merchandise, but devel-
opments of the past week promise bet
ter things in the near future. The
most important influence for good j.
a brighter crop prospect. For the
present the best news comes from the
large cities, where warm weather has
stimulated RETAIL trade in light weight
fabric, and jobbers report that orders
from agricultural communities are
much better than from manufacturing
centers. Reports of railway earnings
for July so far show only a small loss
Of 1.5 per cent as compared with the
same period last year. In the textile
markets the most important event Is
the decision of operatives at Fall River
to go on strike next Monday against
the reduction of 121a per cent in
wages. considering tne idSl tildt lHSte
is little 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 WOODEN goods divis-
ion the chief feature was the opening
of new lines OF mems wear at moderate
advances, fully justified by the higher
position OF the raw material Demand
proved fairly good at the new quota
tons. and further advances are antic-
ipated.
Failures of the week numbered 213
in the United States against 19l last
year.

BELIEF is STRONG.
Prospect Of Crop Strengthens Business
for Fall.

New York, July 2a.--Bradstreets to-
day will say:
Good progress by most crops
strengthens belief in favorable fal!
trade following the present season of
comparative quiet and inactivity.
Among the Industries quietness and
even dulness is still the feature, but
rather more is doing in the leather
trade, foreshadowing later develop
ments in the shoe business, and the
production of iron and steel Is being
steadily curtailed. with resulting
firmer tone to pig iron prices. Soft
coal mining is very much depressed.
and It Is to be noted that demand for
anthracite coal is not 80 active as
heretofore The cotton goods industry
unsettled for more than year past by
erratic price movements and short
time. now faces another disturbance IN
the threatened strike Of the Fall River

finish the fiscal year much better than
earlier expected and 1t is probable
they will show the heaviest volume of
gross and net ever recorded.
Warm weather helped retail trade us
a whole and has facilitated bargain
sales. which have been feature at q
number of cities.

Now he has called on the women to aid
by stopping their games in which rich
prizes are given.
The gambler frequently complains
with Justice says the mayor, that it
is wrong for the police to arrest him
for risking nickel while the social
game for valuable stakes is allowed to
run"
AS a result of the plea formal an
nouncement was made last night by
the Philadelphia Club, the Wednesday
Club and the exclusive Distaff Club
that their card parties for the coming
week have been indefinitely postpon-
ed.
Club women do not believe that Ma
yor Williams appeal is intended as a
threat that he will enforce the law and
prevent social games. They are unan-
imous in the declaration that he is
carrying the crusade too far.

SCHURZ TO PARKER
Noted Editor Tells Democratic candi-
date He viii Support Him-Thinks
Silver Dead Issue.

Esopus, July 23.--The program Cor
the ceremonies at Rosemont, August
10. will follow the precedent laid
down for similar events. 1t is not ex-
pected Judge Parker will discuss cam
paign issues. but will leave this 10 his
letter OF acceptance. which will be
issued week or so later.
A letter giving great satisfaction at
Rosemount has been received by Judge
Parker from Carl sschurz, which says
in part:
Not as party man. but as an inde-
pendent l feel bourid to express to you
my sincere respects. The principles
and opinions you are known to hold as
to currency, Imperialism. tariff and
civil service, strongly commend them
selves to men of MY way OF thinking.
But, IT, as an Independent l ever was
doubling for what candidate my duty
commanded me to vote. your action on
the terms of your nomination com :
pletely solves that doubt. 1t has rem
dered the republic u double service Of
incalcuIable value. No man can hon
estly deny 1t has demolished the last
preteXt for still treating the gold ques-
ton as Il live issue of party controv-
ersy. and it has thus relieved the bus
mess community of an element of PEE
culiarly unhealthy agitation and dan
gerous uncertainty.

Cattle Business Was Almost at
Standstilland Prices Mostly
Nominal Today
THE EASTERN SHIPPERS BUYERS
They Were About the Only Source of
Demand and Quotations Were Lower
Than Friday-Hoss Were Steady at
About 5 Cents Below Fridays Best
Time-Sheep Unchanged.

Chicago, July 23.-Business was al
most ut standstill. and prices most
ly nominal. Based on Fridays late
sale to shippers and butchers, prices
We're largely 15@25 lower than before
the strike was resumed. There was
a fair demand from eastern shippers
who took hold rather freely.
Minnesota, Wisconsin and northern
Illinois have been flooding the market
with feeding cows and stock heifers
lately. Scarcity of hired help and h gh
price of feed have been the governing
Influences The same factors have
flooded the calf market for months
past and made veal about as worthless
as 1t has ever been. There being abb
soluteiy no demand for this kind of
stock in corn belt feed lots. it would
have been a drug on the market had
not Ohio Pennsylvania and even Fir-
GINA taken hold of 1t. Feeding COWS
and stock heifers have not sold as
cheap in ten years past and the far
sighted ones will make money by
handling them. 1t is significant fact
that rs per cent of the feeding stock
sold at Chicago is of this, low grade
stuff--from the beef standpoint
showing both dairy blood and type
ard Illinois and Iowa feeders will not
give it pleasant look.
Hogs.
Prices were steady to about five be-
low yesterdays best time.
The country should at once take no.
~, a Il
settled state in the packing houses and
it is ruinous to send in such runs of
hogs as were here Thursday and yes
terday. The deadest market seen in
the last ten days was that of Friday,
and the day did not develop life
enough to get anywhere near a clear
ance at further sharp reduction In
prices.
Fresh receipts We're estimated at 23,-
900 and, together with the holdoeers.
made close to $4,000 hogs on sale.
Only few small eastern shipping
orders were at hand and the big pack
ers made no effort whatever early in
the day. distributing reports of further
trouble in the packing houses deter
ring all buying operations on the part
of houses affected by the recent strike.
The quality of hogs was again very
good In fact, Thursday and Fridays
receipts were about the best in quality
that has been seen here this year.
Sheep.
Prices were unchanged today.
An abnormal scarcity OF choice
lambs existing since the season opened
has been relieved during the past ten
DAYS nv the advent OF range springers
and the belated appearance of the
Missouri crop. The latter We're up to
the Missouri standard of former years
and brought top prices. but the size
of the crop is decreasing annually
Results Of painstaking by Washington
and Idaho breeders are shown In the
superior quality of the spring lambs
from that source. While not
of Missouri quality they are better
than in former seasons.

Baby Brushes For Grown Ups.
New York SUM-

Many dentists recommend child's
tooth brush for grown-ups. 1t is inn
possible to keep the teeth thoroughly
clean with brush Of large size they
say. and folks who have adopted the
miniature brushes say that this is true.
The small brush is said to penetra tie
every crack and corner of the teeth and
to give the user sense of cleanliness
never before experienced.
