In the fruit season, the approach of rain may
be confidently expected when thrushes and black
birds leave the fruit trees, and go grubbing in
the fields.
The appearance of sea,guls long way inland
is sure indication of coming bad weather, and
when rocks indulge in wild, circling games, gales
and heavy rain may be expected.
When massachusetts and backbirds sing par
ticularly loudly, and for long periods, especially
in the morning, rain usually follows.
When robins sing in low hedges or in garden
strawberries, rain may be expected, but when they
sing perched at high altitude it will generally
be fine. Ducks and geese become particularly
noisy and restless before foul weather. The high
fight Of swallows indicates that it will be fine,
and vice-versa. Owls, especially in the winter,
are usually silent before rain, but in settled
weather they hoot excessively Pigs are noisy
and uneasy before rain or wind
Dogs become sleepy and lazy before rain, but
moles are unusually active in throwing up fresh
earth. The appearance Of many earth-worms is
a sign of rain, and an excessive number of glow
worms at harvest forebodes unfavorable weather.

Thus it happens that when some disease has

TRADE REMAINS
At HIGH LEVEL
May Ignore Usual Sum-
mer Shutdown This
Year.
Railway Earnings Reach
New Mark for the
Month of May.

NEW YORK, June 15.-R- G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row will say: A moderate reduction in
commercial activity is to be expected
at this time of the year, but confidence
in the future is so strong that there
is evident reluctance to assume sea-
sonable uuietness This attitude is
most pronounced in the industrial
world, preparations for fall and winter
distribution being on an unprecedented
scale, and several leading producers an
nounce that the customary summer
shutdown will be entirely omitted or
curtailed to the extent necessitated by
repairs.
The heavy movement of merchan-
disc is attested by an increase in rail-
way earnings thus far reported for
spending period of 1905, and foreign
commerce at this port for the last
week shows gain of $1,S41,071 in ex-
ports and a decrease of $67l, 600 in i'm
ports, as compared with the movement
a year ago.
All classes of farm staples except
cotton were reported more freely in
May than in the same month last year.
That hides will probably maintain
their position is indicated by contracts
covering the entire output of four large
packers during the balance of the year
for native steers at full prices For
eign dry hides are resold to Europe at
higher prices than are offered by do
mestic tanners.
Failures this week numbered 1S3 in
the United StateS-against 229 last year.
and Is in Canada, compared with 25 a
year ago.
Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: Rail-
way earnings are very large, the in
crease for May being over Il per cent.
thus stamping the month as the best
May on record. Building is active,
hence immediate demand for hardware
and materials in general is well main

some weakness. Prices on commodities
in general are, however, close to the

WATER COMPANY
WINS IN OMAHA

ST. PAUL. Mimi. June 15.-The
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
filed decisions in two cases today
those of Edmund NJ Fairfield and
Stockton Heth VS.. the United States
of America and the Omaha Water Com
pany VS.. the city of Omaha ct al, the
first being a case of contempt of court
arising from the second. Both come
from the Nebraska District
In the spring of 1905 the city of
Omaha, through its water board, at
tempted to reduce the meter rates for
water in that city, the Omaha Water
Company being the company affected
by the proposed change The corpora
tion applied for an injunction against
the city. prohibiting it from putting
the rates into effect, but the applica-
tion was denied, whereupon suit was
brought in the Circuit Court for the
district of Nebraska on the ground
that the franchise was a contract and
according to Federal law. could not be
impaired by legislation.
The court held that the clause in the
constitution of Nebraska prohibiting
the State Legislature from making any
irrevocable grant applied in this case
and decided in favor of the city. The
company then appealed to the Circuit
Court of Appeals on a writ of error.
The Appellate Court, in the opinion
filed today and written by Judge Wal
ter H. Sanborn, upheld the claim of the
company, reversed the decision of the
lower court and remanded the case to
the lower court for further proceedings
not inconsistent with the opinion.
The other case arose when E. NJ
Fairfield and Stockton Heth, employees
of the water company, were ordered
nf he
the books of the company They did
not produce the records and were fined
$50 each and costs. This was upheld
by Judge Sanborn.
