Predicts aGreat War

Gen. Nelson A. Miles recently said at
Philadelphia that he expected TO come
shortly after the opening OF the Panama
canal
when II does come" he said. "it will
be the United States against the world.
Commercial rivalry Will be at the bottom
OF the struggle. which will be the most
terrible the world has ever seen.
In such an event the army and navy
would not avail the country much" he
continued Tho United States has about
per cent. OF the commerce OF the world
and other nations have the rest. Strug-
gle would have TO be made single handed
against them all. 1t will have its incep-
tion In commerce. and the United States
and other nations will be like a lot Of
dogs lighting over a bone. The United
States. as ! say. has per cent. only Of
all commerce. II will seem 10 others.
therefore that they have a 81 per cent.
right TO the canal against this country's
3 per cent Struggle Is inevitable"
That the struggle he foresees Is not
likely 10 come for some time is Gen.
Miles opinion. but sooner or later. he
says class commercial interests I'm South
America and about the isthmus is GER
tain. Then will begin the great war.

Dun G. Co.'s Report
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 20.-R. G. Dun &s
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
The best news of the past week comes
from agricultural sections. where prog
ress is fully maintained, harvesting of
winter wheat showing larger yield than
expected and of good quality, while corn
and oats exceed anticipations. As results
on the farms became assured there is a
growth of confidence that brings out large
orders for fall and winter delivery of all
staples.
Sawmills in the northwest are running
night crews, new coke ovens are in course
of construction and there is a general
disposition to extend facilities in order
to keep pace with expanding needs. Of
fetal returns show that foreign commerce
in the fiscal year ending June 90 1906, far
eclipsed all records. both as to exports
and imports, while the new year promises
still better returns because of the sur
plus on the farms available for consumers
abroad.
For the last week at this port alone eX-
ports were S1352,245 larger than in 1905
and imports gained 1914. .253.
Railway earnings thus far reported for
July show an average increase of 7.2 per
cent over last year.
Restoration of foundry pig at S14 is
probably the best development of the
week in the iron and steel industry.
Failures this week numbered 1872 in the
United States against 1893 last year, and
% in Canada compared with % year ago.

COMMERCIAL CLUB IS
ON FINANCIAL ROCKS
FATE OF ORGANIZATION TO BE
KNOWN TODAY

Within the next twenty-four hours
developments are expected which will
decide the fate of the Commercial club
of Los Angeles
For several months the club, which
organized originally under the name of
the Occidental club and acquired the
lease of the former home of the Jona-
than club on Spring street, between
First and Second, has been buffeted by
financial storm, due to various
causes.
Several times during the past two or
three months the club was expected TO
so to pieces, but on each occasion half
a hundred of the more loyal members
came to its rescue with financial aid.
but the burden, 1t is said, has become
too great for a few to bear and II is
expected that unless some definite. per-
manent plan Is devised ii will become
necessary for the club TO announce it's
discontinuanee.
Officials Of the club, accompanied by
counsel, today viii hold a conference
with the directors of the board Of trade,
I'm whose hands practically the fate OF
the club rests. If some plan OF finance
is evolved II is said the club viii con-
tinue, otherwise II viii disband.

NEW YORK, July 20.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Trade, industrial and crop reports gen.
orally continue highly optimistic.
Building continues very active-espe-
cially so, in fact-and reports as to iron
and steel are almost unanimous in show
ing larger current sales and takings than
was looked for, reports having dispelled
some uncertainty visible a little while
ago.
Bank clearings returns are very heavy
for a midsummer period with gain in the
country at large outstripping increases at
the metropolis.
Agreeably to expectations the country g
foreign trades broke all records in the
past fiscal year, the grand aggregate be-
ing just short of $4,000. 100000.
Prices of staples feel the influence OF
favorable crop reports. but in grain bad
crop reports and disorders in Russia
rather help wheat prices here.
