REVIEW OF TRADE
CLOSE OF HALF OF YEAR OF UN-
 PRECEDENTED BUSINESS.
Despite Many Disturbing Elements, all Available Measures of Indus
 trial Volume Tell the SaInes s-a4--@-5--Gf0ry of amccena. a-@~-asaaA@


 New York, June 29.--R. c, Dun & Cos tomorrow will say:
 4 week of comparative quiet Tn wholesale trade but of improved re- tail distribution favored by warmer weather closes half year period the like of which for activity and volume of business done has probably never before been equalled.
 Bank clearings. foreign trade returns railway earnings, statistics of iron pro duction, railway building and all avail able measures of trade and industrial volume go to confirm this view despite numerous disturbing elements such as Congressional debates on rate bills, disturbed money market conditions, in- suranee legislation. the San Francisco fire and the coal strikes which tended perhaps to modify what might other wise have been superabundant activity. Looking to the future the prospects certainly suffer little by comparison with the garnered reports of the past
 The crop situation as a whole is good and will compare favorably with any similar period in the country'S history. Easing their operations upon these underlying conditions dealers have bought literally in anticipation. Sales for next fall. winter or spring, as the case may be, are of full and in many lines record volume. Prices show remarkable strength considering the in- creased productive elements brough. Into play.
 Money IS ralfly easy, though dlner- ences of opinion exists as to whether the large needs of next season can be met without pinch in rates.
 Fall orders in very many lines are heavy, being in excess of the eorre- spending period year ago and the out look favors a burst of buying after the July holidays.
 Industry Is active, the iron and steel lines particularly so. Many plants will be forced to close for repairs the. com ing week, yet the snut downs will be shorter than usual Railway earnings are heavy. The labor situation con- tinues to improve. Building maintains a remarkable active pace.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending June 2S number I46 against 173 last week and 1S6 in the like week of 105. In Canada fail- ures for the week number 22, as against

 greater enterprises and undertakings In contemplation than on any previous July, l. Scarcely any labor struggles of Importance exist and there Is no in- flation of securities through srecala- tive operations with borrowed money Trade reports for the week Indicate seasonable disposition to curtail wholesale business, but even this sum
 mer infiuence Is less disquietiug than
 usual. More new scales have been signed by which the wages will be in- rceased and the pending dispute at tex tile .mills promises amicable settlement. Railway earnings in three weeks of
 June were 10 3 per cent. larger than in 1905.
 One of the adverse reports of the week Is the delay to rebuilding San Francisco by the high price of labor and the tardlness of some insurance settlements, Foreign commerce at this point for the last week shows gains of $3,722,441 in imports and S1.34s,l JAS Prices of iron and steel products have often been higher than now, but 1t is doubtful whether the position was ever more wholesome.
 Primary markets for textile fabrics are still held back by uncertainty re- garding the stability of prices, espe- cially in the cett5n goods division. Another oauss of indifference among the buyers is me scmi-annual Inventory which will be taken before provision is made for the July trade Exports to South America and other miscellaneous
 shipments only partially offset the ut- ter lack of contracts, from China which
 is the least satisfactory feature.

Former Secretary to Lodge Found
 Guilty of Larceny
 Boston, June 29-Robert c. Procter, former secretary to Senator Henry Ca bot Lodge, was found guilty of larceny in a sealed verdict which was re- turned last night and which was op- ened at today's session of the court.
 He was charged with the larc eny of $225 from John c. Boston of Quincy, who alleged that he paid the amount as a contribution to the Republican campaign fund in 1904 giving it to Proctor in connection with an alleged promise to secure for Bestgen an ap- pointment as consul Sentence was deferred.
 The case has attracted considerable attention because of the fact that wit nesses included almost the entire mem- bership of the Republican state com mittee of 1904.

MERRILL WINS
 IN CLEBURNE State Committee. Decides
 a Controversy. THE DEMOCRATS IN SESSION Much Heat Shown in Examination \ of Witnesses. Action of the County Convention Held At Hefiin Is Upheld by Highest Authority of the Party.

Gathered in special meeting in the Council Chamber in Montgomery, the State Executive Committee of the Dem ocratic party yesterday passed its de- cision upon the Executive Committee chairmanship of cleburne county. Af- ter a meeting lasting through the morning and afternoon, the State or- ganization approved the election Of W. B. Merrill, of HefIin, at the county convention April Is. as leader of the County Committee, as being legal and regular, while the committee headed by Judge A. A. Hurst of Edwardsville, elected by rival convention. was de- ciared illegally elected.
 The action of the State Committee was made in accordance with a senti- ment. several times expressed during the proceedings, favoring the support sf and adherance to party organization. Frequently the question was brought up as to the attitude of the warning factions of CleburRe ard toward the Democratic county organization, and the contending parties to the dispute were asked for statements as to their future conduct in the event of the State Executive Committee deciding against 2hem.
 To these questions W B. Merrill and W. @. Porter. the only witness called upon in the farmers behalf both am nounced themselves ready to stand by the action of the authoritative body. and to stick to the regular party or- ganization in Ciehurne county The same interrogatories made to Judge Hurst and his witnesses resulted in evasive answers or in outspoken in- tention of refusal to abide by an ad- verge decision

North Dakota Solves the AdulteratIon
Problem.

North Dakota Gems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds In
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make it impossible to deceive pco-
pie into buying inferior and adultcr-
atcd paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint. viz: pure
white lead and linsced oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments. or mixtures Of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan. II any one wishes
to buy n mixture of rOck -dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found In many paints and
sO-called white leads" no one can
object: for they do II with their eyes
open. But II they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil. they a
be sure of getting 1t, for none but
the genuine article can bcar a label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little sometimes no real
white lead.
II would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles. where
deception Is practiccd upon the buy
or, the question would be solved. II
would leave us free to buy What we
pleased. but would protect us from
want.

MORE puLoUe BEING DRUNK.
Mexico city Gets Away With 100000
lItres Every Day.

The consumption Of pulque In Mex.
leo city Is rapidly increasing, and
the hauling OF the drink Is becoming
one Of the principal sources OF rev.
enue On a number OF lines entering
the city.
On nearly every railroad entering
the city q special pulque train Is run
into the city daily and many OF the
regular freight trains carry large
numbers Of cars containing the popu.
lar drink.
During the month Of June three
railroads. the IIildago, the Mexican
and the I~ntcroccanic, carried into the
city 80 ,S61 barrels and 334 skins full
Of the pulque gathered within a radius
Of sixty miles OF the city. The Ma
tional. the Central and the smaller
lines brought in an amount probably
half as great.
Allowing that the population Of
Mexico city is 400. 900 men. women
and children. the quantity OF pulque
brought into the city daily Is SUI
f1cient to supply almost two liters to
every individual. do o drink your
share? During the month OF June ~
$50, 200 liters OF pulque we're brought
into the city, as In one barrel there
are $50 litcrs and in one skin 60 litcrs.
During each day of the month an av-
erage of 1929 litcrs was brought to
tho city.
The amount thus reckoned is ex-

city In wagons and on muleback from
tho nearby h%acicndas.

All Chemically Pure.

Tho mistaken idea Of a few years
ago. about Alum In Baking Powders
being Injurious, M longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. II is a well cstab.
llshed fact by chemical analysis that
Cream Of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat, is
not entirely vaporized as Is the case
with Alum, but leaves a residue In the
bread. which is injurious. Alum. on
tho contrary. Is entirely evaporated
while performing its function during
process Of baking. leaving no atom Of
injurious reslduOus substance. The
words Chemically Pure" enormously
used to designate Cream Of Tartar
from Alum baking powder Is a mis-
nomcr. Baking Powder made of pure
Alum Is as chemically pure as made
from pure cream OF tartar. These
words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals, and in no way
can they imply that one baking pow
der Is Alum and another Cream OF
Tartar. Alum has been declared to be
wholesome; an established fact. Ev-
cry large water system in the cities
along the Missouri river use Alum In
large quantities to purify the water
before pumping It into their water
mains for consumption. Cream Of Tar.
tar baking powder Is perhaps good
enough for any one; Alum baking
powder Is better. and very much
cheaper.
