probation on the part OF the delegates.
The convention adjourned at 1 p. m.
and while many of the delegates left on
the afternoon train, nearly half of them
remained over to see the further opera
lions of the lawmakers.
The membership of the association is
one to be proud of and it would be hard
to find lot of men more representative
of North Dakota's best business inter
ests. That they enjoyed the convention
held here is pleasing to the people OF the
Capital City, who in parting with the
| merchants wish them a successful year
and more of them, and assure them a
hearty welcome should they ever come
to Bismarck again, singley or as dele
gates to an association or in any other
capacity
In this connection it is fitting that a
word of praise should be spoken for the
excellent work done by the entertain
ment committee of the Commercial club.
The gentlemen comprising the commit
/ tee, Messrs. Robert Orr G. w. Wolbert
and r. L. Best, left nothing undone to
| make the occasion pleasant to the visi-
tors and were ably seconded by the other
members of the Commercial club. The
| successful handling OF tnls ildlteI by
the Commercial club is an illustration OF
the effective work in behalf Of the city
which such body can do and surely
no better endorsement of the sagacity Of
the business men in maintaining such
an organization can be needed.
Mr.. Fleming, of the Commercial Bull
letin, St. Paul, spoke as follows Tues
day afternoon:

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Volume of Business Satisfactory
Outlook Bright for Fall Trade.

New York, Sept. g. r. G. Dunn and
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade tOmor-
row will say:
Aside from some conservatism in
preparing tor remote requirements,
directly due to stringency in the money
market the volume of business is sat
isfactory
Trade exceeds even the activity Of
crops are secured there is a demand
for goods at leading jobbing markets
that makes the outlook bright for fall.
Wholesale dry goods sales are nearly
concluded at the south and merchants
are now hurrying shipments forward
to meet the autumn retail demand
that is about to open.
Prices of farm staples have risen to
an unusual position for this season,
but this is caused by large foreign
needs rather than any reduction in do
nestle yield, and the increased amount
of money paid to the farmers will BEN
eft all departments of trade and in
dustry.
The weeks results are somewhat ir-
regular because of the holiday inter-
ruptiOn to telegraph communication
but complete reports for August indi~
Gates that the mid summer months
compared most favorably with 1906 in
almost every department. except the
market for securities.
Expected improvement in the volume
of new contracts for steel is beginning
to appear.
Activities continues at textile mills,
the cotton goods situation maintaining
its position of strength because of the
large amount of business already under
contract and the higher prices quoted
in dealings in the raw materials.

New York, Sept. 6.-Differences de-
veloped between three antagonistic
drivers unions at the funeral OF Mich
ael Feeley in Williamsburg today and
before the tangle could be Strengthened
out the police reserves had to be call
ed
While the services at the church were
being concluded the driver on the
hearse and the men on the boxes OF
the mourners carriages engaged in a
heated wrangle over union differences.
When the mourners left the church
they found that all the drivers had
deserted
The drivers remained obdurate and
the police were called to disperse the
gathering crowd After a long delay
it was suggested that the drivers OF
the respective unions take separate
routes TO the cemetery. This was a.
greed to and the hearse proceeded te

cause they had been reduced materially
by the commission from time to time;
third, because the cost of handling hal
! increased; fourth, that they did not
yield an unreasonable return; fifth
| because they were lower than any
other form Of land transportation
/ sixth, because they were lower than
| the general average of local rates i'll
| other states through which the South
ern railway runs, and, finally, because
the people served by the Southern rail-
way in North Carolina are generally
prosperous.
When asked by Mr.. Thorn whether
there was any basis of local combina-
| ton rates in the south as low as that
required by the recently enacted North
Carolina statute, Mr.. Green replied
that the North Carolina law required a
much greater reduction than any other
state served by the Southern, which
was the sum Of the local plus twenty
five per cent. In South Carolina the
rate was only 20 per cent, while in
other states it was Is per cent. After
going into detail concerning the
double tracking of the Southern now in
process of construction, Mr.. Thorn ask
ed the witness if there were any SUBJ
stantial difficulties in the way of get
ting capital to make those improve
ments. Mr. Green replied that there
were and that the work could not be
done from the earnings Of the
company.
''In order to obtaincapi for those
improvements" Mr.. Thorn asked the
winess, "what must the company show
as a basis to attract investors to lend
it money!"
sit must show prosperous and profit
able results and operations. In other
fai rad safe return upon it's invest
ments," replied the witness.
"Do you know whether it is possible
now to obtain money for new railway
enterprises in the south?" the itness
was asked.
"My information is that it is not
possible"
'Has 1t been necessary on that ac
count to discontinue any improve
ments and postpone others indefinitely
on the Southern railway?"
Yes" replied the witness.
After going somewhat into details
concerning the cost of freight carriage
ef various food products from New
Orleans, incinati, and Louisville to-
points on the Southern, the hearing
was adjourned until Monday.
