REPORTS UNIFORM IN
FAVORABLE COMPARISONS

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-R. G. Dun
e Company's weekly review of trade
tomorrow will say:
Trade reports from the leading
cities are singularly uniform in max
ing favorable comparisons with the
corresponding week in any previous
year. At most western and southern
points the improvement in weather
and crop prospects have brought
good results, and many of the farm
productions which made bad start
are improving. Jobbing houses are
preparing for a wider scale of trade.
According to regular reports of the
American Iron and Steel association
all previous figures were surpassed
during the first six months, with an
aggregate of 13,47S,044 tons, an in
crease of 1896 tons over the pre-
vious maximum.
The demand for leather is limited
to immediate requirements and tam
ners curtail production which adds to
the accumulation of hides and de.
presses quotations still further
Country hides are especially weak be-
cause of the large stock and poor
qualities.

HOT GAME SCHEDULED
FOR NEXT SUNDAY
Local Team Has Big Battle ON Their
Hands, and Fans Predict Close
Game-Much Money Up.

There is to be ball game Sunday
and if it is not the best on the card,
then nothing doing.
Ely is to meet the picked team of
Welshon's and if there is not nice
ball game, then we will take off our
hat and say we don't know the dope.
there are a few "unloaded" ones
who will mix up Welshon's team,
and if they don't deliver the goods,
then TASK me.
Thursday night, at the Southern,
was placed a bet of $500, Welshon
on one side and Fesler on the other.
The bet was bona fide, and that fact
will attract more interest to the
game, which is to be pulled off Sun
day.
The dope is this, Welshons has
gathered a bunch of ball players who
will give the Elyites a run for their
money. Hulmston, who will do the
twirling for the team, has. a varied
assortment of curves, and that they
are of puzzling nature may be
CLEANED from the fact that Hulmston
was given a berth in the Western
league this year. He threw up his
contract, and quit professional base
ball because he was not satisfied
with the treatment he was receiving.
Freeman, who will be behind the
bat, has officiated in similar posi-
ton for the team at the University
of Nevada, and played on the Over
land team, when 1t was champion of
the state Wilson, the captain of
the Smelters, will be in the field.
The rest of the nine are capable of
holding down their jobs.
There will be practically no change
in the personnel of the Ely cham
pions, and the men who have played
consistent ball during the summer
will perform in their usual positions
next Sunday. Jensen, the southpaw,
who was largely responsible for two
victories over Ogden during the visit
here, will again be on the firing line.
The Ely team will line up this
way: Luchesi, catcher; Jensen,
pitcher; Millard, second; Fesler,
first; Connors, third; Dickinson,
shortstop; McNulty, right field;
Upton, left field; McGill, center
field; substitute, Fulmer.
The select team will be as follows:
Hulmston, pitcher; Freeman, catch,
er; Hoffer, first; Mitchell. second
Adams, third; Schmittroth, short
stop; Wilson left field; Johnson
right field; La Trell, center field.
A special train will be run to the
baseball grounds at 2 O'Clock in the
afternoon.

ABSENCE Of INTEREST
CAUSES STAGNAT|0N

NEW YORR, Aug. 1.-The dis
couragement of the professional trad
ers over the absence of outside inter-
est in stocks resulted today in con-
dition bordering on stagnation. The
trading was practically idle at times
and the professionals, finding no sat
isfaction in scalping profits from each
other, desisted from operations.
There were no other noticeable ope-
rations outside of this class.
The forecast of the weeks cur
rency movement gave warning OF the
unfavorable factors at work in the
money situation. Yesterdays heavy
credit balance of the subtreasury at
the clearing house on account OF the
Central Pacific note payment to the
government extended the two weeks
loss of the banks to the government
to $1,S21,00O. This includes the
gold shipment to France on Tuesday,
for which payment was made at the
sub-treasury, but not the outgo 10
Canada, which amounted to nearly
million dollars. The resources oil the
United States treasury for relieving
a possible money stringency this faii
was brought to the attention OF the
money circulators from the National
City banks. Foreign exchange here
continued to decnne today, however,
in spite of a rather easier tone in the
call loan market, and firmness in
London and Berlin discounts. me
feature in the time loan market is
the special urgency of the demand
for the six months period, which now
carries over the first month into the
new year. The quoted rate was b
to 1-2 per cent on this maturity.
The government report OF moneys
was again discouraging, the improve
ment during July having proved
much less than was anticipated in the
trade. The fact that some of the
cotton carriers advanced on the re-
port was attributed to the likelihood
that short sellers in anticipation OF
the poor report were buying to cover.
Reports of grain crop conditions were
also rather unfavorable, low tempe
natures in the northwest calling at
tention to the Importance of delayed
frosts for a crop that is late.
The probable dimensions of the
fines to be imposed on the Standard
Oil company by Judge Lands tomor-
row formed subject for discussion,
as it was feared that the making of
the penalties very severe would have
an unfavorable effect on values.
Copper was again lower in both
London and New York. Not much
was accomplished by the days ope-
rations in stocks. The rise of the
early part of the day was about all
lost at one time and then recovered
in the last half hour on scanty deal
ings.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value, $638,000.
U. S. bonds were unchanged on
call

SOME AUTO DOPE HERE
FOR THE ENTHUSIASTS

The fourth annual tour of the AM
erican Automobile association came
to an end with parade through the
streets of New York, after check-in
of the cars in Jersey City. The fin
ish was at the Park circle, where the
cars were backed up to the curb,
pictures were taken and the tired,
dusty, oil-begrimed drivers and pas
sengers were cheered by thousands
of New Workers.. The trip had been
more taxing one than any previous
tour, both by reason of the fact that
poor roads and bad running condi-
tions had been experienced and also
because the running was more con-
tinuous than during previous years.
For six days the tourists averaged
1913 miles a day, or no miles for the
weef The total distance of the tour
was 1889 miles, or an average of
1914 miles day for the twelve run
ming days. 1t was started July 10
from Cleveland, and ran through To-
ledo and South Bend to Chicago, to
South Bend, to Indianapolis, to Co.
lumbus, to Canton, to Pittsburg, to
Bedford Springs, to Baltimore, to
Philadelphia, to New York.
A very noticeable drift toward the
automobile has been evident for the
past few years in the carriage indus
try. The firm of J. B. Brewster &
Co., of New York, is the latest house
to join the auto circle. This COM
pany was established in 1910, and
has always been famous for the high
quality, perfect style and superior
workmanship on the carriages which
it turned out. For some time past
the firm has been seeking to secure
the New York agency for some au-
tomobile which would correspond
with the high standard maintained
by their own output, and finally de-
cided on the Acme. An agreement
has been signed with the Acme Mo-
.ocrMimonthsbmain IN Il s?
tor Car company of Reading, Pa, by
which J. B. Brewster & Co., become
the New York agents.
A number of changes have taken
place recently in the Dragon Automo-
bile company. John Kane Mills, on
account of poor health, has resigned
from the presidency, his place be-
ing taken by A. l.. Kull H. B. Rawle
is now vice president and manager
Nicholas Roosevelt has resigned as
treasurer, as has T. F. Randolph as
superintendent and designer. Chas
l.. Kenen has been appointed de-
signer for the Dragon company, and
is now in charge of tn eplant at Phil
adelphia. A number of other changes
have been made. Satisfactory prog
ress on the 1908 product is reported.
The remarkable record made by
the Peerless cars driven by Charles
Burman and w. G. Straub in the
Glidden tour has been commented on
throughout the trade as wonderful
exhibition of endurance and RELIABLE
ity. The two cars, each fresh from
the factory, made a clean score with
out the slightest trouble, being de-
layed by nothing except the replace
ment of tires. They travelled over
good and bad roads alike, and at the
finish in New York were as fresh and
strong as when they left Cleveland.
h. II. Parkhurst, the vice president
of the Peerless Motor Car company,
was in New York at the time of the
finish, and he had the cars examined
by several well-known engineers, who
were amazed at the excellent condi-
ton in which the cars were found
after their 1600-mile journey.
