!
BUTTE, Mont, Oct 25.-Bourke
Cochran who was billed TO speak in
Butte Monday night, has cancelled
all his dates. The reason given by the
National Democratic committee is
that Cochran train connections in
Colorado and the itinerary had been
disarranged, but the real reason is
here said to be the fact that the diff
ferents factions tried to get him IN
volved in the local political, copper
fight between F.sA. Heinz, on one
side, and Senator w. A. Clark oftbe
: Copper Company on
the other, and when he saw the p1r-
pose, Cochran refused to come to
Montana.
1t is stated that, for the same rea-
sons w. ]. Bryan and Charles Towne,
who have been scheduled to speak,
will not be allowed to come. Senator
Patterson, of Colorado, was here a
week ago and was drawn into thelo.
cal fight, to his disadvantage, it is
claimed, and the National committee
has decided hereafter to keep it's
tands off Montana.

The November number Of Nun

The November number of Nun

concerning the New York engage
ment of Girls. Will Be Girls.
To return to the first week of the
New York season, its most pro
nounced hit was reserved for the
most unpretentious Offering Of the

Fourteenth Street Theatre Frankly
labeled Just nonsense-that,s all,s'
with American village life for back
ground, this musical comedy has re-
freshing breeziness Nm grateful con-
trast to the meaningless tinsel and
glitter of the naples countries which
have served SO long as the 1ibrettist'sE
mainstay. AL Leech is starred in the
piece, and the management declares
that in order to do so he gave up an
income of twelve hundred dollars
week on the vaudeville stage for one
sixth OF that salary in his present
post. The accuracy OF these figures
may be doubted, but glance at the
playbills of both the continuous |
houses and those devoted to the So
called legitimate would seem to bear
out the statement that in many cases
players leave variety for the stage
proper because they have been sue
cesses. and quit the drama for the
halls because they have met with
disaster. Mr.. Leech brought with
lin from vaudeville the Three Rose
buds, who are featured along with

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
GOOD WEATHER AT LAST PRE-
 WALLS.
Farmers are Encouraged and the Re- tail Trade is Stimulated-Rail- way Earning Continue
 to Fall Off.

New York. May 6.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Long expected good weather has at last meteriallzed and has helped farmers in retail trade in seasonable goods. Crop preparations and planting has made espe- ciaiiy good progress. the present outlook being that while the winter wheat crop wfli he short. the acreage in spring wheat. oats and corn will be heavily increased Retail and wholesale trade. however. has not experienced the stimulation earlier looked for. there being a disposition so far to regard results as below expecta- tions. Recorder trade with jobbers is stow and fall orders are backward. 9th CT conditions partake of irregularity. The iron trade is qtiieter, with prices dis ui,ctly weaker. On the other hand. rath- CT less than the usual number of May day strikes have occurred and this year so far makes a more favorable showing than did 1993 Railway earnings con- tinue to show a falling of. Failures are but swelied by suspensions of financial institutions and few large manufac- turers. liabilities are heavy for this sea- soT. of the year.
 The volume of fall business Is limited az yet. In dry goods business as whoi@ Is not up to expectations and higher prices are a bar to activity by manufac- turers, who are talking of curtailment. some recorders. but no great activity is noted. Leather is quiet, while hides are firm. Vexatious labor troubles curtailed activity in lumber and building materi- ais at some centres.
 The formal dissolution of the Lake Ore Association this week was an unsettling feature in the iron trade. Quotations for pig iron are easy in all markets. and sales are not very large. aside from the placing of contracts for castings for new railway construction work Finished pro ducts are dull and unsettled. Rather hght new business in rails is reported after last weeks apparent activity. Re- moval of restrictions upon coke produc tion has brought large quantities to mar ket and the price of this product is easy. Copper also tends downward on en- farged production and less eager demand. Business in hardware Is of fair propor- tons
