Bright Outlook in Man.
ufacturing Trades.
The Textile Industries However
Are Slightly Unsettled
Owing 10 Abnormal Prices for Raw Material
failures Decrease.

New York, July 14-R. G. Dun &
Cos. weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row. will say:
Seasonable merchandise goes into
consumption more freely than usual
retail trade exceeding expectations at
many points. and preparation for fall
and winter business is on a liberal
scale, except in a few agricultural
communities where there is DISPOSE
ton to await definite assurances re-
garding the crops.
In the textile industries the most i'm
portant development is the unsettled
and unsatisfactory position Of the pri-
mary markets for cotton goods pro-
duced by the abnormal prices prevail
ing for raw material. Some products
have arisen still further, but. as SELL
ers can give no assurance that the new
figures will be maintained, the situa-
ton lacks stability. In other divisions
quotations are withheld entirely OH
forward deliveries, transactions being
restricted to the stocks on hand. AS a
rule the old attitude of buyers has re-
turned, orders being only such as are
necessary for immediate shipment. al
though there is little certainty that the
future will bring relief. Manufacturers
deplore this return to unsettled condi
tions, which had but recently disap-
peared, and there is no effort to en-
courage speculation. The presence of
buyers in the primary markets is due
to endeavors to secure prompt deliv-
cry on old orders rather than any en-
larged purchasing. New lines of mems
wear woolens are now generally opened
except the finer fancy worsteds, and
even on goods not formally announced
il is POSSIBLE to make inspections and
place orders.
Recent large transactions in hides
strengthened the tone. and further adj
vances are recorded in light weights.
Contracts are reported wholesale and
packers have sold their entire prOduc-
ton of spready native steers up to the
end of the year at Is cents. Considera-
BILE business is being done in calf skins
at Chicago and Boston.
Buyers are more numerous in the
Boston shoe market, operating on
fairly liberal scale at the recent adj
yanced quotations. Even large con-
tracts are not securing customary con-
cessions, manufacturers holding firm
ly to the position necessitated by the
rise in leather. Factories have resumed
after the usual short holiday. and it is
| expected that before the buyers have
returned home. orders will be sufficient
| to keep machinery busy during the re-
nlainder of the year.

Kaiser Not Mixing in the
Sweden Norway Brol.
Conference With king Oscar Of
Strictly Private Nature.


Berlin. July 14.-No indication of the
result of the meeting between Emperor
William and King Oscar at Gefie,
Sweden, yesterday, has reached Berlin
nor is any report of their conversation
| likely to be made public as it is ex-
planned here that this was a strictly
private visit of one sovereign to an
other. The initiative will probably
come from this side, as the Emperor
desired to have first hand knowledge
of the Norwegian-Swedish situation.
The German governments policy, as
The Associated Press is informed, is
one of complete aloofness-almost Of
indifference. 1t is expected here that
as result of the meeting, yesterday,
Emperor William and Germany will be
described in some countries as taking
undue interest in Scandinavian affairs
and as seeking for a way to influence
a settlement Such an idea is disavow-
ed in advance.
Professor koDrad Burnhak. an au-
thority on international law, discussing
the question whether King Oscar is
still King of Norway or not, says a
definite reply cannot be given. He Is
still King of Norway, according to the
constitution of Sweden, but according
to the constitution of Norway he has
ceased to be King of Norway, but there
is no doubt as to the propriety of King
Oscar styling himself King of Sweden
and Norway.
James ii, after he had been deposed
as King of England and while a guest
of Louis XIV of France. continued to
call himself King of France as we'll as
King of England, although France had
been lost to the British crown since
the time of Henry vi. Emperor Francis
Joseph, today. as the Austrian Coinage
shows. calls himself King of Lombardy
and Venine (although he is a friend
Of King Victor EmmanueD, and King
of Jerusalem without the Sultan OF
Turkey having objected. The Russian
Emperor names himself duke of Schlis
wig Holstein and duke of Oldenburg
without offending Germany. The Rus
sian Emperor also calls himself the heir
of the King of Norway
The substance of the statement made
at Stockholm, yesterday. to the effect
that a Germans Swedish alliance was
seriously contemplated was submitted
to the foreign office here, today. and
the authoritative statement was made
hat the question of an alliance between
Germany and Sweden had never come
before the foreign office, nor had It
been discussed to the slightest extent
OF course the foreign office could not
deny that Emperor William and King
Oscar had not spoken of an alliance
during their interview at Gefie. yester-
DAY, because the subjects of their con-
versation are not known here.

Wall Acquitted.

Arthur Wall, president of the Mary
land Telegraph Company, of Renilworth,
Md, was acquitted by jury in the Cir
cuit Court at Upper Marlboro yesterday
.itcf 4 liill which had lasted two days.
The indictment charged him with con-
Quoting an enterprise in violation OF the
pooroom statute of Maryland. The
case. which has finally resulted IN YER
diet of mot guilty." was set on loot oy
Allen w. Mallery and other members OF
the Kenilworth Citizens Association to
determine the legality of the sending Of
money by telegraph for the purpose OF
betting Oh horse races. The Maryland
Telegraph Company is a regularly char
tered telegraph company under the laws
of the State of Maryland, and it was con-
tended by Wall and those associated
with him that no gambling was allowed
ON the premises, and that the manner OF
sending money-order kilograms adopted
al Keniworth was in keeping with the
rights of his corporation. 1t is believed
that the State will drop the prosecution
of similar indictments against Wall. The
latter was represented by Mr.. Robert W.
Wells and James G. Rogers, of Hyatts-
willie. and Mr.. Edmund Burke, OF Alex
andria. while the interests OF the state
were looked after by States Attorney
