WORK OF CHARITY.
Supt. Stephenson's Monthly Report to
Board of Associated Charities.

The superintendent of the Asso.
ciated Charities. in his monthly report
to the board of charities. shows q
great work done during the month OF
January for the poor and needy of the
city. 1t is worth the attention of all
people as it has to do with those about
us who go to make, up part of our
community. 1t follows:
To the Ladies of the General Commit
tee of Associated Charities:
Your superintendent begS leave to
report for the month of January APP
plicants for aid during month 402.
help extended to $50, turned down p.
This month as you know we have
had some very severe weather and
your superintendent was 50 glad that
we had the wood on hand to meet all
demands. This month we have found
work for four men and have found
washing to do for colored women.
We have sent home two, boys who
were in this city without money and
no where to stay We have had two
sewing machines given to the associa-
ton this month. Your superintendent
has lent one of these machines to a
woman in Raleigh who is now doing
plain sewing and supporting her
mother and herself. Your superin-
tendent would suggest that you APP
point committee to see the county
commissioners about getting some old
persons into the county home as they
have no means of support they are
compelled to beg aud are a dead
weight on this association Your SUI
perintendent would be glad to furnish
You with names. ] do not think it
right for us to use this trust money
to keep up these people.
Our citizens pay taxes TO maintain
the county home for the use of such
persons and / do hope the ladies will
take action on the matter. Through
the influence of our president, Mr..
A. A. Thompson. the railroads have
agreed to haul our wood free or
charge. This is Il great saving TO the
association, as we have bought two
car loads of wood at $3.50 a cord and
your superintendent secured the city
wagons to deliver it in our yard.
We have succeeded in getting some
crippled women to make some very
nice quilts out of material we had in
the office. During the severe weather
we have kept the office open all day
though the regular hours are from D
to l IN. We have had to deal with
many pitiful eases this month. but the
charitable people of Raleigh have
stood nobly by us in this God-given
work.
Respectfully submitted.

CONDITION OF BUSINESS
Building Is Active and Commercial In.
terests In Good Shape

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: Crop reports and fall
trade adviceS are more unanimously fav-
orable than at any preceding time this
season. Confidence in the crop situation
is reflected by good fall orders and a
volume of wholesale and retail trade GER
tainly in excess of a year ago and fully
equal to the average at this season.
Trade in wooen fabrics is good, con-
firmaton of this being found in freer
buying by manufacturers of raw mater
ial at ruling high prices.
A heavy movement of winter wheat
has helped collections.
Building is more active throughout the
country, confirming the most optimistic
predictions made earlier in the season.
Wheat, including flour, exports for the
week ending July 27 are S64,146 bushels
against 7O5 329 bushels last week and
265 bushels this week last year. From
July / to date the exports are 3,472,779
bushels against 5,1S61H last year
The business failures in the United
States for the week ending July q num-
bered 1876 against 165 last week and 173
in the like week of 1904.
In Canada failures for the week mum,
ber 2S against % last week.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-Dun's Weekly
Review of Trade will say: Commercial
tendencies are still in the direction of
Improvement. Confidence expands as the
crops are secured, each day putting a
large quantity of grain beyond danger
and making sensational rumors of loss
less effective.
Weather conditions have been favor.
able for retail distribution, reduced
stocks in the hands of dealers being re-
fiected in enlarged wholesale and jobbing
demands. Evidences of faith in the flu
turs are also increasing, more disposl.
ton being shown to provide for require
ments beyond immediate consumption.
The industrial situation Is In striking
contrast to conditions prevailing a year
ago when there was much idleness both
on account of the quiet trade and labor
controversies. Complete returns now
available for the leading departments In
dicate that the first half of 1905 made a
better comparison with the corresponds
ing six months of last year than even the
most sanguine estimates, which natur-
ally Increase optimism regarding busi>
ness during the second half.
Foreign commerce at this port for last
week was almost identical with the re-
suits 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.
Hides have advanced still further and
conservative buyers are beginning to
hesitate before placing orders, although
the scarcity Is admitted.
Failures this week numbered 2l4 In the
United States against 220 last year and
81 In Canada compared with is year
ago.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The creeping up

II HASH 81 spTt toeay up pnd dtf
stock market was broader and more ami
mated than for a considerable time.
The sales effected in the two hours to
noon equaled the maximum for a whole
day recently. Thereafter there was de-
cided falling off in activity and some hesi-
@ tation IN pursuing OF the h. holdings ,se ac- :
upward movement was not explained by
any immediate event and seemed to arise
rather from a capitalization of confidence
which has been gathering from day to
day.
The movement continued largely profess
sional and there was evidence of ma
nipulation here and there in the volatile
rise of closely held stocks of which little
increase Of supply in the market results
from a bidding up of the price. Commits
crease in orders from miscellaneous
sources Of less highly speculative origin.
The tone of the bond market was also
senSibly improved and the broadening Of
the demand for investment in that de-
partment Is considered of good augury.
There were some notable laggards in the
spicuous stocks in the market but most
OF these responded later to the prevailing
upward tendency.
movement show the current running still
in favor of New York and the money
rates are easy. The advance in London
money rates Is attributed to the month
end requirements and foreign exchange
was weak here.
Attention was attracted to the effort Of
the secretary of the treasury to stimu-
late bank notes issued by receiving Philip
pine bonds as security for government
time deposits, provided the government
bonds released are taken out of circula-
ton. This is reminder of the crop
movement and demand for currency and
of the. meager resources of the treasury
for helping to supply the demand In ac-
years.
The market closed rather quiet but firm.
Bonds were strong. Total sales par
value $3,454,0O0.
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.
