 The comptroller of the city of New York has been taught his lesson and he realizes the futility of attempting to sell bonds or borrow money without the help of the great banking and bond houses of Wall street These gentry have estab- 1ished toll roads in the financial district and insist on levying tribute every deal that Is pulled off within their sphere of influence. Every little while some offi- cial or group of capitalists decides to get along without Wall street, but invariably there is return to reason and the rash that this man that group of men are trying to introduce new and unsafe meth ods in Wall street: this is a signal for an uprising of an icy front. Everything that the interlopers attempt to do Is against the current and bye and bye the mistake is realized. They tire of the struggle and bow to the yoke. Comp troller Metz, having failed ignominiously to sell s29000,O00 of New York City per cent bonds at par will, in the course Of time, bring out another issue at A Az per cent, and these he will sell. He has already turned down a proposition for a popular loan. Loans of this descrip- tion almost invariably fail unless the pa- triotism or local pride of the masses can be aroused. In New York there Is no such thing as either patriotism or To- cal pride. They are both minus quan- titles. The only people in New York who could make a popular loan a success are the savings bank depositors, and they could under no circumstances be induced to exchange their bank accounts for city bonds bearing the same rate of interest.
 The public utilities commission has gone to work with every evidence of a desire to do things. No commission ever had better chance to distinguish itself than this body of men.

 Japan is a land of gods and tradi- tons, but they regard their gods in diligently, much as the western world looks upon Santa Claus and even the popular notion that the Mikado can trace his lineage to the Sun Goddess Is treasured by the Japanese people largely as we cherish the cherry-tree myth in the life of George Washing ton" says Harold Bolce.
 "The Japanese point out that all the stories of Hebrew miracles, such as the action of angels in destroying the Assyrian army, the conversion of rods into serpents, the amplification of five loaves of bread and two fishes into a commissary supply sufficient to feed 5C00 people, can be equaled if not par alleled by the myths of Egypt and Greece and Rome and even Japan. The marvellous thing to the Japanese is that civilized Europeans and Americans still regard as literal the dreams and allegories that have come out of an cient centuries.
 "Fukazawa, whom Japan regards as t..e most profound modern philosopher, made the following statement in re- gard to religion:
 "1 lack a religious nature, and have never believed in any religion. I am tnus open to the charge that 1 am ad- vsing others to be religious when l am mot so. ct my conscience does not

Among other things which the commits sion may and probably will take up. will be the juggle which has been going on for years in the street car lines-ele- vated service and subway. This juggle conceals one of the spectacular hnan- cial crimes of the period. Hundreds of millions of dollars of wind and water have been injected into the capitalization and nearly $100, 100000 in revenues have been annually footed in considerable part. The people of Greater New York contribute at least $100, 1000, A every year for street car travel, and in the payment of cleo trical lighting. gas and telephone, to say nothing of the minor utilities.
 Wall street Is less interested than the general public in the pitiable exhibi- ton made by John D. Rockefeller, the richest man In the world,' in seeking to escape the summons of the United States court to appear in Chicago and tell what he knows about some of the inner work ings of Standard Oil. The performance is one which appeals rather to the gall
 
 Rockefeller and his associates are known to be dodgers and very, very Keen in the matter of star chamber practices. They may pretend at times and for purposes of expediency that they are really willing to make friends with the public and give people information but it Is all a bluff. When 1t comes dow nto the scratch they are never there, except vicariously through the attendance of paid attor- neys.

It makes little difference whether you drink one or the other. The point is to let those who have never drunk tea partake of 1t and know its taste. It is so with religion. Religionists are like tea merchants. They are busy selling their own kind of religion. As for the method of procedure in this matter, it is not good policy for one to disparage the stock of others in order to praise his own. What he ought to do is to see that his stock is well selected and his prices cheap

One or the most favorable developments of the week has been the improvement noted Ill corrections at many markets, a sure sign tnat retail stocks are moving, though the number of cities reporting reduced sales or slow trade is sufficiently large to show that trade in summer wear has not In all eases been satisfactory.
 The usual measures of business such as clearings and failures, point to irregular conditions. Desire to await a clearer view Of crop outturns limits future commit ments.

 Holiday quiet rules in the shoe trade, but recent warm weather has helped re- tailers and jobbers, and the outlook for the coming half year Is hopeful.
 Considerably more activity is reported at leading wool markets, and all staple wools have sold well at Boston, and 1t leading interior markets. All foreign fine merinos have been cleaned up, and de- mand has been diverted to staple fleeces and territories.
 Pig iron continues quiet and prices are easier at some markets. Premiums for spot iron have practically disappeared. A quiet, steady market is looked for until about September 1, when a new buying movement is expected to begin.

A southwestern road has placed an order for 25,0 ,000 tons of open hearth steel rails, the specifications being such that a special price was paid. Struc- tural material Is in moderate demand, specifications are heavy and some good business is in prospect. Trade in steel bars and steel pipe is good.
 Manufacturers of wire are unable to ac- cumulate stocks in preparation for fall trade.

R. G. Dun & Go.

New York July 6.-R. G. Dun & Co., 8 weekly review of trade today says:
 Despite the interruption of a holiday and the usual inventories and midsummer estoppage of machinery for repairs, vast amount of business was transacted during the past week. Settled weather has reduced stocks of summer fabrics at many points and in some cases supple mentary orders for repenishings depleted stocks have been received. It was feared at one time they would be carried over to 1908.
 Mdyear dry goods clearance sales were satisfactory, local jobbers selling freely to the interior, where deliveries could not be secured from the mills.
 Activity has continued at most iron furnaces and steel plants except where repairs were imperative and the tone of the leading markets are firm. Shelters are constantly in need of pig iron and bridge shipments for May and June have established a remarkable sixty-day rec ord. Inventory at steel mills show no surplus stocks, but specifications are in excess of capacity. and there are numer- ous complaints regarding the early de- livery. Some mills making railway equip ment report that orders are being over taken because the transportation com panies have not been able to raise funds. This financial problem will probably post pone new work
 Quiet conditions in the primary mar kets for cotton goods are more largely due to the indifference of manufacturers than the holiday season or stock taking. Most deliveries are tardy and mill agents will not seek new business until there is better prospects of shipments Reports of inventories are very satisfactory, dis closing no accumulation of stocks.

 Leather is quiet. but activity Is eX- pected after the middle of July. Hides have not developed the activity for June saltlngs that packers anticipated and the whole market is depressed.
