Trade Report.

released

Bradstreet's report on trade says:
Good progress by most crops
strengthens belief in favor of an adj
vance of trade following the compare
tive quiet and inactivity. Among the
industries quietness and even dullness
is still the feature, but rather more is
doing in the leather trade, foreshadow-
ing later developments in the shoe
business, and the productions of iron
and steel is being steadily curtailed,
with a resulting firmer tone to pig
iron prices.
Several basic industries still show
little tendency to relieve. Notable
among these is soft coal mining, which
is very much depressed, and it is to
be noted that the demand for anthra-
cite coal is not so active as hereto
fore. Railways earnings finished the
fiscal year much better than earlier
expected, and it is probable this will
show the heaviest volume of gross and
net earnings reported. War weather
helped trade as a whole and has facil-
itated bargain sales, which has been
feature at number of cities.

the queen of the American navy. Work
on this magnificent armored cruiser is
progressing rapidly, and the vessel is

Cramp ship yards near Philadelphia,

ers that she will be launched about
August, 1905, and will cost the govern
ment $4,659 900.
More attention has been given to the
general features and designs of the
which is a sister ship, and similar
cruiser Washington than any battle
ship or cruiser in the American navy,
with the exception of the Tennessee,
which is a sister ship, and similar in
all respects to the Washington.
The Washington, when launched,
will plough through the ocean at a
rate of % knots per hour, a rate of
speed equaled by only one cruiser thus
far constructed in the American navy.
This is the contract speed required
and her builders predict that she will
exceed this rate by clear extra knot

WESTERN BANKS BETTER.
Records of Failures Compared With
the East

Washington, d. C.-The report of
the comptroller of the currency, re-
Gently issued, showing the conditions
of the national banks of the country
on June 9, does not disclose as healthy
a condition of affairs in the national
banking business in many of the states
as has prevailed during the last four
or five years. In the west and north
west this is not as perceptible as in
the east, yet the number of banks in
solvent and the number in liquidation
is greater in the western states today
than they were one year ago.

Stockades for Protection.

Preparations for the struggle which
is expected to reach a climax Monday
morning were being made at the diff
ferent packing plants all during the
day and far into the night. Dozens
of representatives of the packing
houses were scattered all over the
country today in search of men to flll
the places of the strikers. Four train
loads of new employees were taken into
the yards before darkness set in, to
join the nonunion men already estab-
lished inside the plants. Clerks were
being initiated into new duties and
employees who had been promoted from
trades were returned to their former
work to take the places of the regular
workers who are expected to quit
work
Stockades have been erected at all
the different plants to protect men
whose work exposes them to danger
from mob violence. All through the
stock yards there were not only evil
dences of preparations for a long and
bitter struggle, but superintendent of
the packing establishments, police Of
ficers and union leaders gave express
sion to anticipated troubles.

Chicago, July Undetermined on a
fight to finish to enforce the demands
of the striking butchers, a sympathetic
strike of all the union workmen en-
ployed in the meat packing industry
throughout the country, with the ex-
ception of the teamsters, begun Mon
day morning at o'clock.
No conferences were held Sunday,
either by the packers or the labor lead
ers, or jointly, in an effort to reach
an adjustment of the controversy.
Both sides rested, apparently waiting
for Mondays developments. Whether
or not the packers would make any
concessions to the demands of the la
Dor leaders in order to prevent a gen.
eral walkout of the trades at the STOCK
yards would not be discussed by any
of the packing house representatives,
but from the preparations going on at
the different plants during the day it
was plainly evident that the packers
intended to fight for their independ-
ence. All the labor leaders declared
that they would await Mondays de-
velopments before carrying on further
negotiations and the packers would
have to make the request for a resump-
ton of peace negotiations, as the
unions had no intention at the present
time of doing so.
