MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET.

MANCHESTER. England, June 1o-The
cloth market had a holiday appearance
this week. Though there was a moderate
demand in most departments the transact
tions Were few and mainly confined to
closing up small requirements for immedi-
ate delivery The general tone was firm
with prices hardening and checking a fair
inquiry. from the Lerant for delivery in
1906 The China operations were small
purchasers relying their extensive en-
gagements. Moderate lines were executed
for India in some quarters. !.
Yarns were In quiet demand throughout
without active trading. Users of American

BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.
Six Printing Presses Required to Turn
Them Out.

From the Chicago Banker.
All Bank Of England notes are printed in
the bank itself. Six printing presses are
In constant operation. the same machines
printing first the particulars Of value, sig
nature, ETC., and then the number of the
note in consecutive order. The paper used
is of very peculiar texture, being at once
thin. tough and crisp; and the combination
OF these qualities. together with the pecu-
Harities of the water mark, which Is dis
tributed over the whole surface Of the
paper, forms one Of the principal guaran-
tees against imitation. The paper. which
is manufactured exclusively at one partic-
ular mill. Is made In obloug slips; allowing
just enough space for the printing of two
notes. side by side.
No note is ever issued the second time.
When once It finds its way back to the
bank to be exchanged for. coin it is imne-
dately Cancelled. and the reader will prob
ably be surprised to hear that the average
life Of a banknote. or the time during which
It is In actual circulation, is not more than
brought into what is known as the ac-
countant's sorting office. Here they are ex-
amined by inspectors, who reject any which
may be found to be counterfeit. In such a
case the paying-in bank is debited with the
amount. The notes come in from various
banks In parcels. each parcel accompanied
by memorandum stating the number and
amount of the notes contained in II. This
memorandum is marked with a certain
number. and then each note in the parcel
Is stamped to correspond, the stamping
machine automatically registering how
many are stamped, and, consequently,
drawing attention to any deficiency in the
number of notes as compared with that
stated in the memorandum. This DONE the
notes are sorted according to number and
date, and. after being defaced by punch
ing out the letters indicating the value and
tearing off the corner bearing the sigma
ture. are passed to the banknote library,
where they are packed in boxes and pre-
served for possible future reference during
a period Of five years.

TRADE AT BALTIMORE.
Dun's Weekly Review Of Conditions

BALTIMORE, Md June 1O.-R G. Dun
& Co.'S weekly review of trade for BaIti-
more issued today Is as follows:
Conditions in the south generally are
improving, and while indications point to
smaller crop of cotton In many sections,
this, 1t is believed, will be more than offset
by the prices realized when the crop Is
marketed The wholesale dry goods market
Is quiet. fall trade not yet having opened,
f1iilns IN orders are Of good volume and
corrections are generally good. Business in
ready made clothing continues unusually
good, manufacturers being we'll SUBMITTED

among the retailers appears bright. There
Is out little change in the boot and shoe
situation. current business being about mn
10 the normal. though there is considerable
complaint as to collections and prices are
unsatisfactory, jobbers not being able tn
move goods at advances sufficient to cover
the increase demanded by the manufac-
turers.
The season In straw hats Is at its height
and the volume of sales has been. If any
thing, even larger than last year. while
prices are very firm. Wholesale dealers in
drugs ana chemicals report a falling off
in local trade. though fair orders are being,
received from out of town, and colIec
lions are up to the average. The expected
improvement IN machinery lines has NOT

tons. against 507.970 in the corresponding
period OF 1904 and 422.Ss0 In 1903.
The decrease In consumption compared
with last year Is at the rate of 81 900 tons
per month: and according to some estf-
mates the decrease on the continent alone
Is not less than that. The result Is ap-
parent in the visible supply figures given
in Mr.. C. Cxarnikow's circular OF May 4. as
this year. ISIS. 621 tons, and last year, at
the corresponding time, S.So6.0e tons--a de-
crease OF only 10000 tons. as against a de-
crease In the worlds production on the
same comparison estimated at between $780,
600 and 100000 tons.
To the weight OF the foregoing eonsidera-
tons in regard to declining consumption
has been added the burden upon spectators
OF carrying an enormous amount OF accu-
nnnlated purchases In face of a demand for
consumption persistentiy kept down to
hand-to-mouth operations Financial ext
gencies. as well as possibly a reconsidera-
ton OF the speculative position. have
brought realizations on a wide scale. par
ticularly on the part Of continental specu-
lators
The market Is stiii in too unsettled a con-
dition to afford any indication OF the de-
cline having run its course. but 1t is not
likely that q pronounced upward move
ment will be seen again during the cur
refcy OF this crop except upon the basis OF
a marked expansion in the legitimate de-
mand for consumption. And even in the
event of such a demand showing itself
there will still have to be reckoned with
the invisible supply" which in previous
scare seasons" has worked woe to the
spectators.
In one other respect the last six or eight
months campaign in sugar has been In
structive. Up to last year the European
beet production entirely dominated the
market. the extent of cane production being
regarded as little more than an incident
Under the changed conditions the beet sit
uation will still be a powerful factor at all
times. but operators in the future will be
obliged, in arranging their accounts, to pay
more and more consideration to the ca
uaoity of caue-srrowinR counts ieS.

WILL JAPAN TAKE MORE GoLDP
Bearing Of This Weeks Currency
Transfers to San Francisco.

From the New York Evening Post.
Last Mondays telegraphic transfer
through the sub-treasury of s3.OOO,000 to
San Francisco, the details of which have
been kept secret, and arrangements under
way to transfer 81. 500.o more by the same
method next week. have aroused interest
in the various methods of settling for the
S75 900 600 Japanese loan. The subscrip
lions have all now been paid In, and bank
ers connected with the syndicate have been
quietly accommodating drafts on London to
provide for the transfer of portion OF
the amount to that center soon as
Japan's agents desire to strengthen their
balances on deposit there. In addition to
this, there has been definite information.
both here and in London, that Japan would
ask that part of the fund be shipped IN
gold direct from San Francisco. Last Mon
days hurried transfer of currency is be-
Heved to have had some bearing on the
movement, although the situation has been
complicated this week by the Pacific coast
remittances for smelters stock, which have
aggregated several millions.
This situation recalls the shipment of
So, 900, zoo in gold across the continent last
December. when a heavily guarded baggage
car, manned by detectives, was secured TO
make the trip. The affair was mysterious
at the time, but it subsequently developed
that the shipment was called for by Japan
to meet special emergency. and in the
effort to catch a certain vessel, no expense
was spared to expedite the movement. To
guarantee the safe delivery of the gold, the
bankers here took out the most novel form
of long distance insurance policy ever Sc
cured in this market, the underwriters as
Stunning all the risks of transit from 1.-The
Wall street Office to Kobe, Japan. AL
though most of the proceeds of the last
Japanese loan have been deposited with
twenty banks and trust companies of this
city, the funds subject to withdrawal
any moment and will be utilized for the
purchase of foreign drafts or to pay for
gold shipped direct, whenever necessary. AS
yet the United States agents of the Japa
nese government are in the dark concern
ing the amount of gold that will probably
be required In case the price of London
exchange continues to advance here.

MODERN BUCKBoARDS.
Rubber Tires Now on the Wheels OF
This Originally Primitive Vehicle.

From the New York Sun
IF the man who made the original buck
board could see one Of the sorts we turn
out nowadays" said a carriage manufac-
turer. The would certainly turn around in
the road to look at it.
1.-The first blackboard, consisting OF seat
placed on an elastic board whose two ends
rested on pair of axles was very
simple and very rough and ready vehicle,
designed for use on rough and rocky coun-
try and mountain roads. and there are
parts of the country in which such buck
boards are still used. turned out by local
makers; but the modern blackboard, while
il still preserves in a general way the buck
board simplicity of appearance IS a very
different proposition from that.
We put now between the aXles under
the blackboard longitudinal steel springs,
which prevent the boards sagging unduly,
and give it greater strength and power OF
resistance and elasticity. We make such
buckboards with one, with two or with
three seats, seating two, four or six per-
sons; and we make them either without
tops or with them-a buggy top on single
seated blackboard, and suitable tops on
larger buckboards If they are desired.
And on some buckDoards, to be used In
districts where the character of the roads
Is such as to make their use advantageous,
we put rubber-tired wheels. No owner
would want a rubber-tired blackboard to be
used In regions where the roads were sandy
or rocky; in such steel-tred wheels would
be best; but rubber tires are very good for
a blackboard to be used in the city, where
a few buckboards are used. or on buck
boards to be used In parts where the roads
are macadamzed. ---s-s-
The seats of these modern buckboards
are made wide and with high backs. for
comfort and they are upholstered with the
best of materials, which are. for that mat
ter. used In these vehicles throughout, for
they are made for service as well as COM
fort, and they are, in fact. most seryiceabie
as well as most comfortable. But the man
driving one of the old original ouckooaros:
and who had never seen one OF these. would
certainly turn to look at 1t If he should
chance to meet one OF these modern buck
boay Dis on the road.
