Retail Merchants Organize.

A representative gathering OF the
retail merchants Of Delaware county
met at the Court House here last
Friday afternoon, and perfected an
organization. The object of the or
ganization, to quote from the pre-
amble of the constitution and by
laws adopted, is ito obliterate dis
trust and inspire confidence among
the members of the trade; to correct
excessive and unmercantile COMPETE
ton; to remove by concert Of action,
such evils and customs as are against
good policy and sound business
principles, whetheri. be selling by
the wholesale houses at retail; the
distribution and consumption of
adulterated and unwholesome goods;
the use of fictitious labels, or what
soever the evil may be; to secure
protection by cooperation from un-
necessary losses from poor pay or
dead beats, to recuperate and build
up home trade for the home merchant
as against nonresident competition;
to attain the results which experience
has proved are not attainable by in
dividual or divided effort"
Mr.. r. "A. Greene of Peru, Iowa,
who has been instrumental in urging
the necessity of such an organization
in this county was present and brief
" outlined its scope and purposes.
He said that the principal object
was to enable the retail merchants to
help each other avoid dead beat ac-
counts. And further that as an or
ganization it should make its weight
felt in politics in urging the legisla-
ture to enact pure food laws, and
laws benefiting the retail merchant.
Mr.. Greene gave some good advise,
based on his experience as a bust
ness man and his connection with
the different retail associationsof the
state, in saying that one Of the most
essential things to insure the retail
merchants success, is liberal news
paper advertising He called at
tention to the social feature of the
regular meetings Of the association
and at the conclusion of his remarks
was roundly applauded.
The organization was then formed
and constitution and bylaws adopt
ed. The following officers were
elected:

JAPAN PLANNING
PEACE FESTIVAL

A remarkable pageant will be seen
at Portland, on the waters OF the lake
inside the Lewis and Clark Exposition
grounds, on the night Of August 81.
The Emperor of Japan has instructed
his commissioners to prepare grand
peace Jubilee carnival in anticipation
of a speedy declaration of peace be-
tween his country and Russia. The
birthday of the Grown Prince or
Japan, August 81, has been selected
as the day for the celebration. Consul
Alba, the Mikado's diplomatic repre-
sentative at Portland, is cooperating
with Japanese Commissioners Ito and
Kushibiki, and the affair promises to
be the most highly interesting of any
that has been held at the exposition.
Its international significance adds to
it's Importance.
The celebration will take the form
of huge and brilliant water carnival,
beginning at 9 o'clock at night.
Eight immense floats are being built,
each float typifying some Japanese
idea of historical or sentimental
interest. There will be Japanese
songs, japanese Juggling, fencing and
acrobatic exercises. Japanese fire
works will be one of the grand
features, preceded or intersperseo
with pyrotechnics of the American
fashion.

CATTLE OF WEST
MUST GET WEIGHT

"Western range cattlemen contrib
uted 10000 cattle this week, or about
one-fourth of the total supply, $4,000.
Receipts constituted offerings frem
Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas,
the bulk being from Montana and
North Dakota" say Sinclair, Gillett
& Co., live stock commission merch-
ants of Chicago in a special letter to
the Herald under date of August Is.
Comparison of receipts for this and
last week show an increase OF 5000
rangers, while comparison OF values
shows a decline of about a dime.
Good beeves were fair sale at steady
values, but the bulk were forced to
accept 5(01Oc. lower market. Thurs
dav came to the rescue with
a lO(015c. higher market, re-
ceipts being approximately 1900.
Representative sales made Thursday
do not show this gain, the highest
point reached being $40, but when
the quality of receipts are considered,
which were exceptionally inferior, the
advance is evident. Fridays native
cattle trade was active and strong,
the number of westerners arriving
being the smallest for any day during
the week. Sales were readily con-
cluded at prices fully steady with
Thursdays advance.
Whether the west is short on
butcher stock this season or whether
western cattle owners are holding
this class back in anticipation OF
better values, is source of specula-
ton, but it is very noticeable fact
that the number of COWS and bulls
marketed has been very limited.
Good beeves range from $4,000. 60,
bulk at s3.9O(04.25, tailings down to
1885. Feeders have been in increas-
ing demand.
1t would most probably be the best
policy for western cattle owners to
hold back their feeder supply until
threshing is completed and give corn
belt feeders more leisure to buy their
seasons supply.
Weight this fall is not only going
to count as weight, but will suit the
requirements of the trade much
better.
