Trade and Financ. as Reported
at New York.

Reports from the commercial
centers throughout the United
States indicate greater activity in
general business, especially at the
Southwest where merchants are
ordering liberal supplies of new
goods.
These conditions are modified
of course, by disturbance in GER
tain centers where jobbers an
nounce falling off as compared
with last years orders.
Here, as else where, the ap-
proach of the presidential elect
ion with the feeling that general
trade had slackcned have been
effective in restricting operations
in various industries. With the
prevalence of more seasonable
weather and generally hopeful
feeling about the crops, distribut-
ion of merchandise has expedited
and sentiment materially improv-
ed. Collections are still slow,
and in the neighborhood of Bal
timore show a falling off for the
week. In Pennsylvania the same
tendency has been felt, jobbers
reporting rather unsatisfactory re-
turns, caused by the continuance
of unfavorable industrial con-
ditions. St. Louis territory shows
up we'll with drygoods trade and
heavy orders for fall deliveries.
Travelling statesmen are sending
in fully as many orders as last
year and the outlook is good for
strong fall trade. The labor situ-
alton is decidedly better, wage
earners at all centers being dis
posed to modify their demands in
accordance with known con-
ditions. Business continues dull
through New England with little
change from last year. Mills are
purchasing supplies in hand, to
mouth fashion, and while there
is littlelmprovementi in the gener-
al situation, but better trade is
looked for in July. There has
been a further decline of money
rates at New York this week.
The market is easy in all branches
aud is likely to continue so until
the crops begin to move. Mer-
chants have been borrowing a
little more freely, but the supply
of good paper falls far short OF
demand. The demand is not
at all urgent, however, but with
increased activity in some lines
of business after the presidential
campaign has been formally start
ed and inquiry NAV extend con.
siderable.

The exercises. of the day took
place in the Court House park.
A speakers platform, with seats

dent, the reader, the orator and
singer of the day.
The invocation was made by
Rev. Mark Noble and Geo. L..

dependence with characteristic
clearness and force. Miss Lulu
Spangler sang with thrilling
effect 1.-The Star Spangled Ban
ner." The orator of the day,
Hon. L. T. Harris, of Eugene,
delivered a mastery address ap-
propriate to the occasion. Mr..
Harris captivated his audience
with his clear forceful remarks.
He is one OF the rising young
men of the day. ..
The races on Main street prov

The Shooting Tournament.

The Shooting Tournament.
The shooting contest on Mon
day was one of the best ever held
in the Willamette valley. Mr..
Howe, travelling representative
of the U. M. c. Cartridge Com
pany and the Remington Arms
Co., was here and took part in
many of the events. He has
shot birds all over the United
States and says that the Corvallis
grounds were the most unfavor-
able and the birds the most diff
cult of any he has ever known.
he best marksmen in the North
west were present and participant
ed in the events. Three of these
men were up at the big shoot in
Pendleton a few days ago. The
general average of all the visitors
was below normal, while the
average of the local boys, con-
sidering the fact that they consid-
er themselves amateurs, was .ex-
ceedingly high.
The visiting sportsmeu said
that it was simply impossible to
make better averages than were
made. All the way through our
boys stood neck and neck with
the best shooters in the state.
For instance in the second event,
Benuet shot IS straight birds,
Burnett "A and Emery IS, while
the Portland boys got only IL.
Again in the second event a man
from Polk County got 10 out of
20 birds, while Portland, Salem
and Albany got only II and IS.
The success of the day is due
in large measure to the committee
on arrangements, Huston, Gala
han and Kiger, and the untiring
energy OF Captain Emery. AT
present the boys own their own
shooting house and traps, have
their lease paid and cleared $50
