Trade and Industry Conditions
Are Exceptionally Favorable.
The Best News Comes From the
Agricultural Sections.
WHEAT YIELDS BETTER
Than Expected and 1t Is Of Ex-
ceilent Quality.
Large Orders for Fall Delivery
of Goods Follow.

New York. July Pr. G. Dun &
Co. s weekly review of trade says:
Exceptionally encouraging reports
for this time of the year are received
regarding trade, industry and trans
portation, but there is no response in
the market for securities. The best
news of the past week comes from
agricultural sections where progress
is fully maintained. harvesting of
winter wheat promising a larger yield
than expected. and of good quality
While corn and oats exceed anticipa-
tons; cotton picking has begun in the
early districts and hay alone of the
leading crops threatens to be short.
As results on the farms become as
sured there is growth of confidence
that brings out large orders for fall
and winter delivery of all staples.
SaWmills at the northwest are run
ming night crews, new coke ovens are
In course of construction and there is
a general disposition to extend facili-
ties in order to keep pace with ex-
banding needs More textile mills have
voluntarily advanced wages per
cent. to take effect after this month,
and the only important labor trouble
that threatens is a local building COM
picatiOn that will be averted if con-
servative counsel prevails. Official
returns show that foreign commerce
in the fiscal year ending June 80, 1906,
far eclipsed all records, both as to ex-
ports and imports, while the new year
promises still better results because
of the surplus on the farms availa BILE
for consumers abroad. For the last
week at this port alone exports were
S1.952.245 larger than in 1905, and
imports gained $914.255. Railway
earnings thus far reported for July
show an average Increase of 7.2 per
cent. over last year
Restoration of foundry pig to s14 is
probably the best development of the
week in the iron and steel industry.
Improvement is noted in the primary
markets for cotton goods after a pro-
longed period of indifference on the
part of buyers.
Efforts to secure still further ad-
vances in the hide market encounter
some opposition, but the general level
continues about the highest on record.
Failures this week numbered 1872 IN
the United States, against 1913 last
year, and % in Canada, compared
with % year ago.

GAVE BACK TEN DOLLARS.
story Told by E. L. Phillips About Ex-
pericnce With Highwayman.

A somewhat hazy story came to the
attention of the police officers last night.
Early in the evening E. L. Phillips ap-
peared at the station and told a story
about being held up somewhere in the
vicinity of the Capital Iron Works by d
negro of huge stature, who pointing a
revolver at his head demanded that
he throw up his hands. According to
his story Phillips complied with the re-
quest and the dusky criminal after
searching his person relieved him of 4
pocketboOk containing about eleven dol
lars and a quNrter. The negro for rea-
sons known only to himself only took
one dollar of this amount and returned
the balance to Phillips. This part of
the episode is what leads the police Off
GERS TO doubt the story.
A careful search failed to reveal any
trace of the negro and it is improbable
that any further efforts will be made to
locate the offender. Chief Donovan ex-
pressed himself as thinking the story
was a pretty slim one although Phillips
furnished a pretty good description of
the footpad.

TOOK DoLLIvEK FOR ~cABBY.v
station Master Reprimanded the SEN
ator Severely Before a Crowd.

Fort Dodge. Ia. July 21.-Because
he wore a big SLOUGH hat United States
Senator J. P. Dolliver was taken for a
hack driver yesterday afternoon and
given a severe reprimand for permit
ting his team to stand in spot for
hidden by the city ordinances.
Station Master Forsyth administered
the tongue lashlng and warned the
supposed hack driver that if he did not
know more than to let his horses stand
in a flower bed he ought to have a
guardian appointed.
Senator Dolliver replied without
visible agitation that the point seemed
to be well taken ,a.sd HAT he-would be
more careful ~ the future. BY this
time a. crowd had gathered and For
syth was given a chorus of hoarse
boots. which was his first intimation
that he had made a blunder.
Forsyth is new man and did not
know Dolliver III WAS much chagrin-
ed TO learn that the senator was not
the offending hack driver and made
earnest apologies. Senator Doiliver
took the matter as joke and said the
rebuke served him right for wearing
his brother Vic's old hat.

Minneapolis Managers Actions May
Cause Association War.

Milwaukee, July 2I.=Dcvelopments
today seem to indicate that the Amer
lean Baseball association Is in for a
bitter internal war that may possibly
lead to dissolution, unless Manager h
G. Kelley of the Minneapolis team re-
cedes from the position he has TAKEN
1t is a question as to whether Kelley
will or Will not conform to the rules OF
the association. Kelley of the Mime
apolis team was today suspended by
President O'Brien until he pays fine
of 500, which was levied upon him
for his procedure in connection with
the MinneapO lis-Columb game at
Minneapolis yesterday. President
'Brien declared the game forfeited to
Columbus by a score of 9 to 0. A fine
of 500 accompanies forfeited game.
Until the fine is paid. President Man
ager Kelley can not be on the dia-
mond.
President O'Brien informed Kelley
that If the suspended players, Freeman
and Oyler, were allowed on the field in
tOday's game the same procedure
would be followed.
This latest move may mean a war
likely to cause serious trouble in the
association. InjunctionaI proceedings
at Minneapolis restraining Umpire
Owens from interfering with the sus-
pended players caused President
O'Brien's action today. What the next
move of the Minneapolis club owners
will be is conjecture. The constitution
of the American association provides
for expulsion and loss of franchise for
violation of rules. It IS probable that
additional legal action may be COM
menced against President O'Brien or
the American association.
President Kelley Of the Minneapolis
club has the right to appeal from the
decision of Mr.. OsBrien- The appeal
must be made to the board of directors
of the association. Up to this time no
such appeal has been taken.
President O'Brien stated that any
club playing an exhibition game dur
ing the championship season would be
liable to a fine of $500.

ALTMAN BARRETT DEAD.
Manager of the Banda Rosa Dies In
New York.

A dispatch from New York announces
the death of Altman Barrett. manager
of the Banda Rosa. Mr.. Barrett was
in New York to make arrangements for
the production of Lena a grand OPP
era written by Eugene Sorrentino, lead
er of the Red band. Mr.. Barrett had
many friends in Topeka. He was one
of the best known managers of musical
and theatrical attractions in the west.
He had been seriously i'll in New York
for the past six weeks. but his death
was not expected until a few days ago,
when hope was practically abandoned.
The cause of death was acute indiges-
ton which was first diagnosed as ma
larial fever by the physicians summon
ed to attend Mr.. Barrett in New York,
when he went On a business trip to ar
range his plans for the approaching
season.
Mr.. Barrett was unmarried and was
about 81 years of age He is survived
by his mother and brother, who live
in Kansas City.
Thirteen or IA years ago Mr.. Barrett
went to Kansas City from Lyndon
Kan. and entered the employ of J. w
jenkins Sons music house. He remain
ed in the employ of that firm for about
ten years. For the past three years he
had devoted himself entirely to his
managerial enterprises. though for
several years past he had engaged in
various projects of that character. He
was very popular with ali who knew
him and his death cuts short a career
that was more than promising

Bono, an italian girl II years old,
arrived here yesterday from Havre,
France, in a cataleptie state. She was
removed to a sanitarium, and despite

Havre the young woman suffered a
violent attack of sea sickness; the next
day she passed into a state of coma,

BradStreet says;
Trade, industrial and crop reports
generally continue highly optimistic.
Clearance sales enliVen retail de-
mand, wholesale trade for seasona bic
goods is naturally quiet, but excellent
grain crop reports stimulate fail orders
which are in advance of a year ago
with rather less than usual evidences
of summer Quietness. Reports as to
July trade all point to gains over a
wear ago. Building continues very ac-
unexpectedly so in fact-and re-
ports as to iron and steel are almost
unanimous in showing larger current
sales and takings than were looked
for, favorable reports apparently hav-
ing dispelled some uncertainties visible
a little while ago. There is also slight
~ more frmness noted in lumber, the
southern yellow pine situation being in
rather better shape than recently, Ow-
ing to restriction of production. Rail-
way earnings are very good, both gross
and net. For the first half of July
gains of "a per cent over a year ago
are indicated Preliminary reports for
the fiscal year indicate that final re-
turns will eclipse all records. with the
good crop outlook favOring very
large business in the current fiscal
year. Confirmation of this latter is
further found in free buying of rails.
cars and miscellaneous supplies by the
transportation companies.
Bank clearings returns are very
heavy for a midsummer period. with
gains in the country at large outstrip
ping increases at the metropolis.
AgreeabIv to expectations the coun-
try's foreign trade broke all records in
the past fiscal year, the grand aggre-
gate being just short Of $4,000, OoO,0 900.
Prices of staples feel the influence of
favorable crop reports, but in grain,
bad crop reports and disorders in Rus

Asphalt Plant Has Been Shipped from

The asphalt plant of the Parker
washington Paving company has been

is expected will arrive here on Monday

The paving operations cannot COM

the company is getting a late start the
representatives claim that they will
have ample time to complete the con-
