was very active one in retail and
wholesale trade and industry, in which
the best records of preceding years
was surpassed. Fall trade reports con-
tinue exceptionally good. Building has
been active, with natural effects on the
market for material, but lower prices
of yellow pine are construed as indicat-
ing fuller offerings from the current
and past enormous production. The
labor situation is, on the whole, quite
favorable. Finished products in iron
are reported quiet, but business in steel
rails for future delivery Is still active.
Railway returns are still in a aigh de-
gree favorable. Wheat, including flour,
exports from the United States and
Canada for the week ending May 81
are 2.526,739 blu, against 1,3o9.223 bu

WANTS BOONE SUSPENDED.
t. Dodge Asks President Peekham
70 Gust Boone From the League.

AS a result of the forfeited game
at TT. Dodge Thursday, which was
taken from Boone and awarded to TT
Dodge by Umpire Voris, by the score OF
8 to O. the FIT. Dodge association has
filed a remonstrance with President
Peckham, asking that the Boone
club be suspended from the league
President Peckham will not suspend
Boone, the principal reason being that
Boone's finances are not in the best OF
condition, and Peckham believes that
suspension might work additional ser
ious damage to the Boone association.
Were it not for this reason Manager
Johnson, Outfielder Lally and the en-
tire Boone club would be disciplined
The language Manager Johnson ana
Outfielder Lally used toward Umpire
Voris is given as the reason for the
desired suspension. FIT. Dodge claims
they questioned a decision of the UNI
pire, and used such language that Ia
dies who were in the audience got up
and left the grand stand. Umpire
Voris' report is to the same effect. The
umpire fined Lally $40 and put him
off the grounds, and fined johnson 50
and expelled him from the grounds.
This left Boone but eight men on the
field and the umpire forfeited the game
to Fit. Dodge.

pun,s Review.

New York, June 2.--R. G.. Dun &
Company's weekly review Of trade to-
day says:
Business maintains wholesome pro-
gress and mercantile collections i'm
prove The weeks aggregate transact
lions show the effect of the holiday
and seasonable quiet in certain lines,
but good gain is noted in COMPARE
son with the corresponding period of
any previous year. Uncertainty re-
garding the crops caused unusual con-
servatism at the northwest until this
week. when the outlook became suffi-
GENTLY encouraging to restore conf
dence. In many jobbing lines there Is
no prospect of vigorous activity until
fall, but wholesale distribution is now
heavy and retail business is; only re-
tarded at points where temporary
weather conditions are adverse. Little
machinery is reported at many plants
Railway earnings thus far recorded for
May exceeded last years by III per
cent and foreign commerce at this
port for the last week showed gains
of $1.706.6S1 in imports and s49l,74S in
exports. Aside from the strike OF the
founders and moulders. the iron and
steel industry is in splendid condition.
Ne decreased inactivity of textile ma
chinery has occurred, altho it is be-
lieved that some mills are overtaking
orders, and the tone Of the primary
market for cotton goods developed
little weakness but without any radical
reduction in quotations
Failures this week numbered IT'S in
the United States against 1913 last year,
and IS in Canada compared with 70
wear ago

Home Post Not Dissatisfied.

Editor Republican, IN
fornlant who outlined the situation In
regard to the election Of department
commander of the G. A. r. at Boone, IS
wrong so far as the post at the Home
is concerned. We are willing and eX-
pected to support worthy comrade in
the person of A. f. Haradon, but we
are not opposed to George A. Newman as
department assistant adjutant general,
and do not think it fair that we should
be so advertised to the state. Weare Will
ling to support comrade on his merits,
and if he is elected, let him select the
man. who, in his judgment, will best
serve the department as assistant
adiutant general. We have had official
business with the department under
four different assistant ad6utant gen
erals, and have never received more
prompt and courteous response to a
communication than from Comrade
Newman, and the official reports show
that the business of the office is run
in a careful and efficient manner.
Respectfully.
