OPTIMISM STILL PREVAILS
Though Somewhat Irregular, the Volume of Trade for the Season
 is Full One.

New York. July 1.-Bradstreet's weekly review says:
 Though reaeeting some irregularity, due to mid-year influences or. in some sections, to less cheerful crop reports. the volume of distributive trade is a full one for the season. and industry and manufacture show less than or dnarily the effects of the approach of the vacation period Optimism as to the fall outlook is the main subject of notice. but fl is to be noted that good reorders for summer fabrics are still active a; some leading markets. Rela- lively the best reports come from the central west and southwest: the south seems quite generally to hold the inn provement reported last week, confi- dence has increased in the Pacific coast reports, and the only important sub ject of complaint is that the weather has been too wet or too cool in portions of the corn and wheat belts 10 allow of the best crop development and harvest ins

TORNADO KILLS MANY
Storm Which Struck Montague County,
 Texas. Leaves Devastation in Track.

Storm Which Struck Montague County, Texas. Leaves Devastation in Track.
 Fort Worth. Tex. July GA tornado which struck Texas in the upper edge of Montague county, coming from the northeast and swinging away to the southeast yesterday afternoon. cost over 40 lives, injured number of peo- pie and did untold damage to growing crops and cattle
 Fortunately the tornado missed the small towns in the section through which it swept but it seemed to take fiendish delight in zigsagging in such . way as to take in the homes of many farmers and stock raisers in the section.
 At Jaeksboro the force of the wind was terrific. The Baptist church and 20 other buildings were blown off their foundations and number of buildings totally destroyed A num- Der of people were seriously injured.
 At Montague no lives were lost in the town, but in the country there was great loss of life reported.
 Owing to the fact that wires are down in all directions, 1t is difficult to get particulars. Nine are known to be dead in that neighborhood and un- confirmed reports are to the effect that the list of dead will go as high as forty. Most of those killed lived along the Salt creek, along which the tornado swept with special force. At Noeano the tornado passed few miles to the south and latest lists give the dead at fourteen and the in- iured at twenty-one
 Many farm houses were swept en- tirely away Long Branch school house was destroyed and the Baptist and Methodist churches at Belcher were practically destroyed
 A reliable man at Nocona. who has been over the scene, says that reports were being received of the dead when he left there, and he places the loss of life at sixty. Owing to the widely sep arated homes. and the fact that in many instances whole families were | wiped out, details and names are hard | to get.
 The country through which the tor nado passed is one of the richest farm Ing sections of Texas. lying along the northern border of the state.
 Late reports from Montague places the number of killed at ten. The tor nado lasted for perhaps thirty min utes. Its cyelonic velocity was terrific. but it moved rather slowly.
