HAS DISCOURAGING EFFECT
FEATURES WHICH UNSETTLE
CONFIDENCE IN TRADE.
They Are Lack of Harmony Between
Labor and Capital and Condi-
lions in Wheat Market.

New York, Aug. 20.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Confidence in continued Improvement
of trade has been somewhat unsettled
by sensational events in the Whea-
market and the lack of harmony be-
tween capital and labor. 1t is becom-
ing evident that estimates of the wheat
crop must be reduced, although other
agricultural news is much better than
usual. In SO far as the purchasing
power of the farmer is concerned,
prices have risen so sharply that any
loss in quantity promises to be made
up, but this obvious fact rs not ap-
preciated by those dealers who are
making less preparation for future
trade. Some disappointment is also
felt by those who counted upon an ear
ly resumption of activity in building
operations and other industries ham
pered by labor controversies. Other
wise, news of the week has contained
much of an encouraging nature. In
several manufacturing lines there is
less idle machinery, and visiting retail
buyers have stimulated jobbing trade,
especially in dry goods and kindred
lines.
Failures this week numbered 226
IN the United States against 238 last
year, and "a in Canada compared with
eight a year ago"
Bradsteets' says: Conservatism
rules the buying movement, which,
while gaining in force at some leading
markets, still lacks the snap shown in
former years at this time. The late
ness of the crop season for one thing,
reports of wheat and cotton crop dete-
rioration, fortified by continued wheat
price advances, and revisions of quo
tations, notable in iron and steel and
cotton goods, breeds a feeling of indie
cision. Reports from the great indus
tries show little change during the
week"

ATTACK
Ohio MILITIAMEN
NATIONAL GUARDSMAN KILLED
AND THREE WOUNDED IN
BATTLE AT ATHENS.
THE TOWN is PLACED
UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Alleged Discrimination Against Reg
ulars by Provost Guard Is Said to
Have Been Cause of the Clash-No
Further Trouble Expected.

Athens, O., Aug. 22-Regular army
soldiers, said to be members of cav
airy troop connected with the First
brigade at Camp Armitage, near this
city, Friday night attacked members
of a provost guard of patrols made up
of members of Company D, Fifth Ohio
national guard, Cleveland, and one
man was killed and three wounded, the
latter all being national guardsmen.
The regulars escaped without casual
ties as far as is known.
The guardsman who was killed was
Corporal Charles Clark, whose home IS
at Warren, where the company is To-
Gated. He was 81 years old and ma
chinist by occupation.
The wounded are: Watson H. Oil,
struck on head by rifle; Albert Head,
private, shot in left leg; Sergt. William
Blessing, struck on left hip. Fifteen
minutes after the shooting Gen. Dick,
in command of the national guardsmen,
and the regular army officers, had de-
clared the town under martial law and
hundreds of regulars were rushed into
the city and are patrolling the streets
to prevent further trouble. e
Cause of the Trouble.
AS gathered from soldiers in camp,
it seems that nearly all the provost
guards, sent to town to gather in SOL
dicrs who had overstayed their leaves,
have been national guardsmen, and the
regulars became possessed of the idea
that the provosts were discriminating
against the regulars IN favor of the
guardsmen, arresting the former and
allowing the latter to go free, when the
miscreants were in such numbers that
a choice arose of arresting either one
or the other. Regulars assembled in
Athens Friday night in force, and the
provost from Troop D met number of
them in front of the sheriff's residence,
near the court house. The regulars
were halted and showed fight. The
provost guards dubbed their rifles,
then, they claim, the regulars COM
menced to shoot. They returned the
fire and more than 100 shots in all were
fired. The battle ended when the reg
ulars scampered for camp after the
killing.
Everything Reported Quiet.
No further trouble is anticipated. The
city and Camp Herrick were quiet Satur-
day, although there is much comment
over the clash. During the week there
was much feeling between the two
classes, especially when militiamen on
provost guard duty arrested regulars and
took them back to camp. Sergt. William
Blessing is improved, but the attending
army physicians still question his recov-
cry. The rest of the men are improving
All soldiers are ordered now to remain in
camp and passes are forbidden. The ar
rest of additional United States men has
brought out no new developments. They
are held on suspicion and charges
against individual members will be made
after an official investigation by both
military and civil authorities.
