Moderate Improvement in
Commercial Conditions,
Cotton Market Good Both in|
Supply and Demand.
Shoe Industry Continues Active. ks
Failures Less Than Last Year.

New York, June 16-R. G. Dun &.
Cos. Weekly Review of Trade. tomor-
row. will say:
Moderate improvement Is noted in
commercial conditions although pro-
gress is along conservative lines and
there is no evidence of speculative ex-
cesses. Seasonable weather has stimu-
lated retail sales of lightweight wear
ing apparel, and more disposition
among dealers to place orders for fall
and winter goods is reported. Mercan-
tile payments are also prompt. The
brighter crop outlook having a salutary
effect on commercial operations.
Relations of supply and demand in
textile manufacturing grow more fav-
OIable for producers, many cotton spin
ners having contracted so far ahead
that there is no urgency to make new
sales. On practically on all lines Of
staple cotton orders can not be filled
as rapidly as desired. frequent COM
plants being heard of tardy deliveries.
Despite the feeling among buyers that
present prices for raw cotton cannot be
maintained they are compelled to pay
as much for future shipments Of cotton
as for spot goods which is extremely
scare. China is practically out of the
market but export orders for distant
shipments continue to provide a sup
porting influence, as they will take the
entire capacity of many mills. Wooden
goods producers are preparing for the
new spring season. which has already
opened in the low grades, and the out
look for worsteds is especially favor
able Manufacturers are slow to follow
the advance in wool, and sales are
smaller at Eastern markets, but quota
lions show no evidence of weakness.
Irregularity continues in the hide
market, heavy steers ard branded rul-
ing easy, while COW hides are in good
demand. some contracts covering re-
ceipts up to July Is at full quotations.
Many divisions are nominal and
foreign dry hides have declined another
fraction, making a loss of full cent
from the recent top point. Butter re-
ports are received regarding the leath-
err situation. particularly hemlock sole.
Of which further large sales have been
effected. Foreign buyers are very ac-
tive, taking $4,000 hides for export in
6: single week. Upper leather is also
firm but calf skins remain weak and
inactive. Conditions in the footwear
industry are without material aitera-
ton, statesmen forwarding liberal con-
tracts from the West for fall goods. and
there is a steady influx of sample or
doris for spring. The higher level OF
prices has not restricted operations. al
though a further advance may cheek
trade.
Failures this week numbered 229 In
the United States against 257 last year

cursing the thieves.
He became more and more melan-
choly and angry, and five days later
his jaw locked. Thus far the doctors
have failed in their efforts to relieve
him. and he is being kept alive with

may be as the third plenipotentiary. II
the entire mission is selected from To-
hio the Japanese minister at Washing
ton undoubtedly will be designated the
ranking adviser of the mission. The Sc
lection of Mr.. Takahira as one of her
Observation-Disclosures would be distinctly ac-
ceptable to the official circles usually
reserved for an ambassador and per-
haps no diplomat has been oftener
receiv ed than he at Sec. Hays home.
Should Mr. Takahira be placed on the
mission, the chances are that NJ. Neli-
doff would be accompanied by a second
plenipotentiary from Russia, and would
be joined in Washington by Baron Ro-
sen, the new Russian ambassador, who
will sail for this country. June 2S. and
who, through his two tours of duty at
Toxic, is thoroughly familiar with
Asiatic politics.
1t is said, however. that with the ex-
ception of Gen. Kuropatkin. few Rus
slams possess the confidence Of the Jap
anese to a greater degree than Baron
Rosen.
Another important detail which has
been the subject of informal conversa-
lions at the White House is the Ian
guage to be used at the conference.
Russia will ask that the French lam
guage be used. Japan will express
preference for English and in recogni-
ton of the courtesies to be extended
the plenipotentiaries by the Washing
ton government diplomats believe that
the English language, IL not accepted
as the official language of the confer
ence. will be used jointly with French,
the proceedings of the conference be-
ing recorded in both tongues. Had the
conference been held in Europe. French
undoubtedly would have been used. on
the grounds that 1t is there recognized
as the diplomatic tongue. The United
States. however, has never so recog-
niZed it.
No date has yet been fixed for the
conference There are many official pa
pers. copies of which must be furnished
to the plenipotentiaries. The copying IT.
self would occupy several weeks.

Washington, June 16-Alone on the

for the Washington conference, If the

Exchanges on this point are now in

thought preliminary protocol might

temporary cessation of hostilities, but
in view of the fact that this concerns
directly the armies in the field, it is
believed that the belligerents will agree
that arrangement for the armistice may
best be entrusted to Linevitch and

chief. who in such event would be tele-
graphed special powers to sign. The
