ceipts were little larger than usual
and the outlet not SO good. This was a
bad combination anG. resulted in a de-
cid'ed dullness in the market. Local.
traders had expected a good inquiry
from the country, for a short time ago
indications were strongly along that
line. Lack of outside demand made a
very dull, slow market after Monday,
and dealers found they had more cattle
on hand than they could we'll get rid OF.
On this account they bought sparingly
during the latter half of the week and
this made the market very disappoint-
Ing to those who had the fresh crop to
get rid of. The week is closing wrth
prices 15M25c lower than at the best
time last week and this reduction about
wipes out all of the gain established
two weeks ago. Most of the inquiry
came this week from the east and these
buyers decidedly favored the good to
choice feeders Some sold at 404.25,
but the proportions at that range was
less than last week. Pretty good feed
ers sold at $3y50G375, and quite decent
light stockers were bought late In the
week at $3m3.40, with the tail stuff
largely at $2.75@3.

pun,s Review.

New York, Aug. 25.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade today
says:
Wall street provided the only i'm
portant development in the business
situation the past week, prices of Sc
curities rising within an average of So
per share of the high record establish
ed last January, while the general pub
In became interested to an extent that
lifted money rates for all periods to
the legal maximum. Trade reports In
dictate wholesome activity, with no ev-
idence of reaction. AS the vacation
season draws to an end there Is a
gradual resumption of idle machin-
cry, and, with the opening of many
new furnaces, all records Of iron pro-
duction will be surpassed in the fall.
Yet steel mills will require all the ma
terial that can be furnished. This Is
typical of the situation in all leading
branches of industry. Jobbing fail
trade is opening briskly, 1862 buyers
registering in the New York markets
alone in single day. Owing to a
few exceptionally large undertakings
last year in this city, the total value OF
all building permits issued in July was
slightly smaller than year ago, but
outside Of New York there was a
heavy increase. Crops are now almost
beyond danger, and their movement is
becoming a difficult traffic problem.
Railway earnings in August show an
average gain of 1876 per cent over last
years figures while foreign comemrce
at this port for the last week provided
gains of $2,275,692 in imports and ST.
446, 521 in exports, as compared with
1905.

FLAWS OIL TRUST.
Grand Jury Holds Rebates from New
York Central Unfair,

jamestown, N. Y, Aug. 25-The fed
eral grand jury ivestigation alleged
violations of the Elkins rebate law by
the Standard Oil Company, the Penn
sylvania Railroad company, and the
New York Central railroad company In
the state met here yesterday and re-
turned tow indictments, one against
the Standard Oil Company, the other
against the New York Central.
The charges against the Central are
covered in single count, altho ac-
cording to the theory of the prosecu-
ton, the company equally is guilty
whit the Pennsylvania company IN
granting rebates. The charge OF fail
ure to file with the interstate com
merce commission, as required py
law, a schedule of rates, which evil
dence taaken by the grand jury indl-
Gates, was maintained.
The indictment charges the railroad
with carrying oil from Clean, n. Y, to
Burlington, VT, at rate much loWer
than that given to the general public
without filing with the interstate COM
MERGE commission anw schedule snow
ing the rates charged in these cases LOT
interstate commerce business.
There are 1875 counts in the indict-
ment against the Standard Oil Com
pany. Briefly stated, the indictment
charges unlawful discrimination in its
favor by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, the New York Central, and
the Central Vermont Railroad COM
pany. The indictment charges the
company received and accepted freight
rates on oil shipped from Clean, N. ",
to Burlington, VT, during the year
1904, at rate of about 15 cents per
hundred weight, while the rate on sim-
liar shipments from Bradford, Warren,
Struthers, Clarendon, Oil City, Titus
vile, Pa, to Burlington, was 33 cents
1t is charged also that shipments
from Pennsylvania points to Vermont
under substantially the same condi-
tons as shipments from Clean to Bur-
iington discrimination was given and
accepted out of all proportion to rea-
con and fairness.

New York, Aug. 25.-Bradstreets
today says
Fall trade has still further ex-
banded; buyers are in all leading mar
ating freely despite temporary checks
caused by hot or rainy weather. The
same is largely true of industrial OPP
eratiops, which go forward with q
steadily increasing volume of output,
and with available capacity in lead
ing lines booked far ahead. This lat
ter condition Is perhaps best illustrated
by reports from the iron and steel and
cotton goods industries which are in
a very strong position with prices
tending upward and mills pushed to
meet demands. In the iron and steel
Industry all records for August have
been eclipsed and, in fact, some lines
report the month to have been the
best ever Witnessed Retail trade is
quiet, the time for shifting to fall dis
plays having arrived, altho some job
bers report recorders for summer goods
in excess of supply. Crop reports are
sill favorable, record yield of corn,
heavy spring wheat outturn and a
cotton crop next to the lagest being in
sight. Railway tonnage is of enorrp-
Gus volume, the record for August be-
ing the best ever attained. Gross earn
ings for the first half of the month
exceed those of year ago by 16 per
cent. Despite marked additions to

Tho scandinavians in America.


In Munsey's Magazine for August
Herbert N. Casson writes on the above
quoted topic. Each of the three nation
alities grouped under the common
phrase "Scandinavians" is treated sep
arately: first the Danes, then the Nor
wegians, and lastly the Swedes; but
the trio is given the larger space. Jacob
Riis is made the leading Dane. 1t was
his good fortune to make himself, "the
most useful citizen in New York." for
he was "the Christopher Columbus of
the sums" In numbers the Norweg
ians are about twice as many as the
Danes; but only two-thirds the Swed-
es; hence the proportions they bear are
one Dane two Norwegians and three
Swedes. This author says, and we
think he is accurate, in saying of the
Norwegians, mo race makes nobler
type of Americans than these proud,
free natured people," In politics they
have shone thru Knute Nelson, once
governor of Minnesota, and now a
United States senator from that state.
This writer ranks him as the foremost
of our eight hundred thousand Nor
wegians-a man Of high character and
unusual ability" summary of char
aeteristics of the Scandinavians brings
out the following deserved tribute:
Such are the Scandinavians the ar
tistic Danes, the practical Swedes, the
independent Norwegians. They have
won respect from all other Americans,
by deserving it. They are honest, in
dustrious, wholesome people. They
make no trouble. There is not Scam
dinavian slum in any American city.
In morality and intelligence they rank
with the best of u.s. They are all read
ers, not only of their own newspapers.
