Dun's Review.


r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says:
Commercial tendencies are still in
the direction of Improvement, although
progress is hampered by some imitation
of prices for the raw materials of
textile and footwear industries. Con-
hdence expands as the crops are Sc
cured, each day putting a, large guam
uty of grain beyond danger and max
ing sensational rumOrS of loss less ef-
fective. Weather conditions have been
favorable for retail distribution, re-
duced stocks in the hands of dealers
being reflected in enlarged wholesale
and jobbing demands. Evidences of
faith in the future are increasing,
more disposition being shown to pro-
vide for requirements beyond imme-
date consumption.
1.-THE Industrial situation is in strik-
ing contrast to conditions prevailing a
year ago, when there was much idle
ness both on account of quiet trade
and labor controversies Complete re-
turns now available for the leading de-
partments indicate that the first half
OF 1905 made better comparison with
the corresponding six months of last
year than even the most sanguine esti-
mates, which naturally increase optim-
ism regarding business during the sec
ond half. Foreign commerce at this
port for the last week was almost
identical with the results in 1904.
Traffic interests begin to feel the pres
sure of crops, but facilities have proved
ample thus far, and railway earnings
in July were per cent. larger than in
the same time last year. Resumption
of work at several steel plants testifies
to the brevity of the midsummer
period of dulless. Confidence in the
future is so general in this industry
that 1t would be most surprising if
expected activity failed to nlaterialize.
Prices are readily maintained.
Hides have advanced still further,
and conservative buyers are beginning
to hesitate before placing orders, al
though the scarcity is admitted. There
is surprisingly little disposition among
visiting buyers in the Boston market
to resist the upward tendency of prices
for boots and shoes, although pur-
chases of spring lines are not made
with normal freedom.
Failures this week numbered PA
in the United States, against zee last
year, and 81 in Canada, compared
with IS a year ago.

Crop Reports and Fall Trade
Advices More Favorable
Than at ANY Previous Period
This Season.
THE VOLUME OF TRADE
Is in Excess of That of Year
Ago.
Most Optimistic Predictions
Are Being Confirmed.

New York, July 2s.-Bradstreet's
says;
"Crop reports and fall trade advices
are more unanimously favorable than
at any preceding time this season.
Coincidence in the crop situation is
reflected by good mail orders and a
volume of wholesale and retail trade
certainly in excess of year ago and
fully equal to the average at this sea-
son. Special activity is noted in cot
ton goods, which are in eager demand
at high prices, with scarcity of desira-
Bile makes widely reported. Trade in
wooden fabrics is good, confirmation of
this being found in freer buying by
manufacturers of raw material at ruiz
ing high prices.
Reports from the shoe and clothing
lines and from the lumber, hardware
and other building material lines are
generally satisfactory. A heavy move
ment of winter wheat has helped col
lections and developed a little more
activity in flour milling in the south
west The iron trade shows some
Quietness. Exceptional activity in pig
iron noted last week. Other indus
tries show considerable activity. The
summer shutdown of glass factories
viii be the shortest reported in many
years. Building is more active through
out the country, confirming the most
optimistic prediction made earlier in
the season."

ton in this locality, the experience of
Mr.. Nye may be of advantage to some
as regards one particular branch, that
of milking. He relates his experience
as follows:
when l was young and used to
roam around over the country, gath
ering watermelons in the light of the
moon, l used to think I could milk
anybody's COW, but don't think SO
now. l do not milk the cow unless
the sign is right, and it hasn't been
right for good many years. The
last COW l tried to milk was a COM
mon COW, born in obscurity, kind of
self-made COW. remember her brow
was low. but she wore her tail high
and she was haughty-oh, SO naughty.
II made a comfortable remark to
her. One that is used in the very
best society, one that need not give
offense. I said 'So'-and she 'Soed.
Then I told her 'Hist'-and she Hist.
ed But l thought she overdfd it.
She put too much expression in it.
THE neighbors came to see what
it was that caused the noise. They
found that I had done it getting
through the window.
Il asked the neighbors if the barn
was still standing. They said it was.
Then l asked if the COW was injured
much. They said she seemed quite
robust. Then l requested them to go
in and calm the cow little. and see
If they could get my plug hat of her
horns"

BIG SEA BATTLE.

The world Is anxiOuSly awaiting the
result of naval engagement between
the Baltic feet, under Admiral Rojest.
vensky and the Japanese squadron
under the command of Admiral Togo.
The strength of the opposing fleets
is given as follows: Russian, battle.
ships. 6; cruisers, 9; minor craft, 80;
total, AZ. Japanese, battleships, 4;
cruisers, -; minor craft, Is; total, Al.
While it will be seen that the Rus.
SLAMS have little the best of it in
numbers, some of the fighting ma.
chimes are not of high class, being
far from up-tO-date in modern i'm.
provements. What the Japanese lack
in numbers of craft they more than
make up in good ships and in the ex-
perience and fighting qualities of the
men manning them, having met and
destroyed the greater portion of Rus
sia's far eastern squadron during the
past year. Experts, particularly
Americans, believe the Japanese will
win a substantial victory, if they do
not annihilate the Russian fleet.
On the other hand, Russia is stalk
ing all on great sea victory. Ro-
jestvensky, realizing the responsible
ity resting upon him, will fight his
fleet with desperation, in an attempt
to turn the tide of Russia's fortunes
in the war. The annihiliation of Ad-
miral Togo's fleet would relieve Vlad-
ivostok, endanger Port Arthur and
place Russia in command of the sea.
It is possible a drawn battle may
be fought, or isolated engagements
take place between detached crafts of
both fleets and by such methods moth
ing definite determined for weeks to
come. However, the feeling is that
big naval battle will soon take place
in which a majority of the ships on
both sides will be engaged. If
so, the result will be of momentous
interest to the world and the forces
engaged.

The new battleship Minnesota was
launched at Newport News, Virginia
on the Sth inst. OF course the new
ship is heralded as the pride Of the

navy by all Minnesotans. No doubt
it will be high-class fighting ma
chine when completed, which will be
some months yet. The sponsor on
this occasion was Miss Rose Marie
Schaller, the fair daughter of State
Senator Schaller, of Minnesota The
young lady is a student of the Min.

not only smashed to smithereens the
bottle of American champagne on
the Prov of the Minnesota, but at a
launching luncheon following that
event, she responded to a toast in her
own behalf, when others declined to
speak for her. The young lady rose
to the occasion and made a very pref
ty little speech which was received
with hearty applause. She closed
with these words, which show the
true western and American spirit:
Il shall always take a personal in
terest in the battleship Minnesota and
feel as if l were part owner. AS l
stood on that platform today, almost
in sight and in hearing distance of
the scene of battle between the first
ironclads known in history, hoped
that the new Minnesota would behave
as CALAMITY as her predecessor did;
that her guns will never speak ex-
cept in the right; that her flag will
always represent justice and truth,
and that, best of all, she will be her.

TIMELY ACTION.

At the annual meeting of the Lew.
lstown's Business Mems association,
held Monday night, steps were taken
to advertise the agricultural resources
of Fergus county and the inducements
offered to settlers now seeking homes
in the west, and to secure special tour
lists rates over the Montana railroad
into this, the greatest farming region
in the state.
In other parts of the state the peo-
pie are awake to the Importance of
securing some of this immigration
and already have their agents and lit
erature in the field for that purpose.
No other part of Montana offers
the inducements that Fergus county
does. But not being on the line of
either of the great transcontinental
railroads, this region is placed at con-
siderable disadvantage in getting in
touch with very desirable class of
people seeking lands and homes in the
west.
Naturally both of the great railroad
lines prefer to sell tickets through to
the western coast than to intermediate
points, and one line having lands of
its own to sell will first consider it's
own immediate interests before that
of others, although generally concern
ed in the DEVELOPMENT and growth of
all tributary regions.
Fergus county has always been at
disadvantage owing to it's isolation,
yet nowhere between the two oceans
are there greater advantages offered
to a thrifty and Industrious class of
settlers. While there is yet some gov
eminent land to be taken up, there
are thousands of acres of most desir-
able farming lands that can be bought
for one-half or one-third the price ask

The Billings creamery, which has
been established only short time, is
producing four hundred pounds of but
ter each day and finding a ready mar
ket. The plant will soon handle $3.50
worth of milk daily. The success of
the enterprise at Billings will be re.
peated at other places in the state
when an earnest effort is made in that
direction, although the Yellowstone
metropolis offered exceptionally good
inducements for a creamery. When
the local demand is fully met the
creamery will have easy access to
other cities of the state But the home
market will be a good and growing
one.

1t is claimed that sea water con
tains a certain percentage of gold
about grain to each ton of water, anu
that the yellow metal is soon to be
extracted from the briny deep. 1t is
said that an English syndicate own
ing secret process for extracting
gold from seawater, has been quietly
picking up sites for factories and
pumping stations along the English
and Irish coasts, and is soon to begin
operations. This may all happen. but
there are good many who will have
to be shown. For some time to come
the present sources of the worlds gold
supply will have to be relied upon to
meet the demand. Gold extraction
from the ocean in paying quantities
would certainly be one of the great
discoveries and enterprises of the
goth century.

10 Gen. Horace Porter. American
ambassador to France, is credit due
for the discovery of the remains OF
John Paul Jones. General Porter in
stltuted the search at his own ex

be crowned with success. There
seems to be no doubt as to the iden.

burial, over hundred years ago, his
name or some positive mark of iden,

the body and in due time congress
will reimburse General Porter for the
expense incurred in the long search

cd for inferior land in the Dakotas or
states to the west.
many OF the large ranches in Fer
gus county will be divided and sold In
tracts to suit purchasers and at rea.
sonable figures. In fact it is being
done now. As fine wheat lands as lie
out OF doors, as yet untouched by
the plow or harrow, await the home
seeker.
FERGUS county will prove second to
no county in the state in the poduc.
ton OF wheat, both as to quantity and
quality. It is estimated that there
are fully 100000 acres in Fergus
county that will grow wheat. At an
average of Is bushels to the acre.
which is low. this land, under cult.
walton, would mean great wealth to
the producer and the county. Even
though this estimate be large, who
can foretell the possibilities of this
region in wheat growing, which is
now only In the experimental stage?
Settlers are going into South and
North Dakota and paying from SIS to
$50 an acre for land that will not
produce One-half of the amount OF
grain per acre that Fergus county
lands will.
These are some facts that home
seekers should know and once having
the knowledge, Fergus county and the
Great Judith basin will get a goodly
number of those looking for good farm
ing lands and homes in the west.
The Montana railroad is vitality in
terested in the settlement and devel
opment Of Fergus county and there is
no question but the management will
do everything within reason in the way
of rates to enable homeseekers tc
