NEW YORK.

Weather conditions still favor season
able trade and crops. and there is no more
than ordinary quiet noted in wholesale
lines as a result Of midsummer conditions
and the reign OF the vacation season. Re
tail trade especially is turning out rather
better than anticipated. One favorable
development certainly calling for notice
is the continuance of good reports as to
collections. Fair activity, with firm
prices, is noted in wool. Large sales are
few. Conservative buying of shoes and
leather is noted in leading markets.
In the leading industries there are some
cross-currents. Iron and steel are quieter
as whole, with prices tending to ease,
while copper is lower and stocks reported
accommodating. In the shoe trade business
is moderate. In the cotton goods industry
production is of record proportions, but
still insufficient to meet demand.

CHICAGO.

Considering the hot weather which pre-
vailed business has maintained steady
course. Commercial defaults seem to be
yet in excess of those at this time last
year and are due mainly to the pressure
of July settlements upon weak traders,
but the list includes none of special sig
nificance in the effect upon credits. Money
is in wider request for mercantile pur-
poses and the banks are adequately able
to supply legitimate needs besides prepar-
ing for the approaching drain of curren-
cy to move crops, but the discount rate
may soon turn firmer.
Despite the high temperature and vaca-
tion season there is very little apparent
interruption to production in the leading
industries and distribution is remarkably
extended for this period, retail lines scor-
ing a gratifying reduction of stocks.
Visiting buyers attend the markets for
staple wares in rapidly increasing num-
bers and their selections for early deliv.
cry rise TO substantial totals. Activity
expands in dry goods, boots and shoes,
clothing, furniture and food products, not
withstanding the advanced average in
price lists, as compared with year ago.
Conditions in the manufacturing
branches lose none of their remarkable
strength. Hides and leather move more
freely, hard woods are in better request
and shipments are larger of hardware,
plumbing goods, merchant iron and wag-
onS.
The total movement of grain at this
port, 6,934,24S bushels, compares with
7,S1S,947 bushels last week and 6,62S, 120
bushels a year ago. Receipts are 36.5
per cent under those in 1906, while the
shipments gained 117.1 per cent. Receipts
of live stock were 29S,329 head, against
23G,09S head last week and 291 ,935 head
last year.
Bank clearings, $237, ,746,63O, exceed
those of corresponding week in 1906 by 8
per cent.

OF Ridiculous Error.

It's statute Book, just Issued, . Mass
of Ridiculous Error.
The laws passed by the last LegislA-
lure of Montana have been issued in book
.orm by Secretary of State Yoder, and IL
IS the opinion of lawyers and others that
never before did Legislature in any
Stlte have so many careless authors and
incompetent enrolling and engrossing
clerks. The result is that Montana has
some of tho most ludicrous laws that ever
Eraced a statute book. In fact, SO Au-
nerous are the errors that the Secretary
Of State was impelled to put this notice
in the fly leaf: The within are exact
.opies Of the enrolled laws as the same
reached this Office, and neither this office
nor the printers employed in the work are
responsible for spelling or punctuation"
The effect, it is thought, will not be seri>
pus, as the Supreme Court, in passing
apon laws, tries to determine the intent
If the Legislature.
One law was passed to prevent the sale
Of diseased meat, while the enrolled and
engrossed copies thereof read deceased
meat" Thus, literally speaking, it II
against the law for butchers to sell meats
except upon the hoof, and If they o5eyed
it they would be compelled to drive cattle
around to purchasers and dispose of them
while alive.
A bill was passed relative to the meas
urement of hay. 1t provides certain rules
for determining the amount when it has
been in the stack six months, provided it
has been in the stack three months" The
intention of the Legislature was to make
allowance for shrinkage after the hay had
stood three and six months.
Still another law requires boarding
houses restaurants and hotels using adul-
terated foods mot to post notices in
plain sight of patrons and customers,
when it's intention was just the opposite.
Another law, dealing with the land
question, refers to "parented" instead OF
patented lands.

The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis.

chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been

ture of the disease. The cnly trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried to

BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO

TOO LIFELlKE.
Curious Reason For Rejecting the
portrait Of a Doctor"

Curious Reason For Rejecting the
Portrait of Doctor"
Concerning the prize, Portrait
Of Doctor" by Seymour Thomas,
there is very amusing story.
Several artists had made paint
tngs Of the gentleman who is rep
resented in this celebrated picture,
but the family decided that none Of
them was 'lifelike enough" After
visiting the Thomas studio the gen.
tleman's relatives commissioned this
artist to essay the task.
The work went on well, and the
picture was completed. Every one
was delighted. Alldeclared-friends,
family and enemies-that it was a
'9iving likeness"
One day, before the picture had
been sent home, the wife of the doc.
tor called with her sister-in-law.
This woman had been suffering
from nervous prostration and had
come to spend several months with
her brother for a rest.
Instantly on entering the studio
she threw up her hands and ex.
claimed in q hysterical, Mortified
tone:
ooh, my dear, my dearl How
much like Robert that is! Oh, it is
horrible! / couldn't stand it in the
house a moment. Why, it looks just
exactly like him, and I'd almost
think him about to speak. Don't
take tits uncannyw
Abashed into silence, embarrass-
ed beyond description, the wife and
sister-in.law later left the studio.
"And what do you think" said
Mr.. Thomas, with a gentle smile,
"a few days later / had a note from
the wife asking me if | could not
make the picture little less like
the doctor--a little less lifelike !?
Did ! do it? Well, | guess not
That was one of my best pieces ol
