Denvers Population POP ,ooo.

Denver. Col. June s.--Aceordlng to the new city directory Denver today has population of 202,0o0. This estimate is made doubling the number of names, 1O1, 900, which the new directory contains. It Is claimed that this estimate is very conservative, when 1t is considered that in many cities the population is esti- mated on the basis of three or four to one for every name in the directory The directory of 1907 also contains moro than 5000 names more than 1t did last year, thus showing an increase in Den cer's population of more than 12,o0o for the year.

INCREASE STEEL BUSINESS

New York, June s.-Bradstreet's yester- day said:
 Cross currents in trade and crop condi- tions prevent generalization. There has been a further slight improvement in crop conditions due to slightly higher temper ature and a cessation of rain in the south and cotton belt This has made for a more optimistic footing as to ultimate yields and future trade in the section en- toying even small share of seasonable weather, but the great majority of cities and particularly those in the east com plain of continued slow trade and col- lections. These unfavorable conditions are in turn reflected in more general com plaints of the absence of the expected volume of reorder business from jobhers and manufacturers who are also begin ming to re-echo the reports of accnmulat- ing stocks of light spring and summer fabrics. Reductions are more in evil dence in retail lines and the feeling Is that some of the trade lost in the past two months will not be regained, On the other hand, the reports as to fall trade are satisfactory. a reflection possibly of the fact that retail stocks of heavy goods were well cleaned up last winter. Crop uncertainties and the fact that recorder business this spring has been practically absent in many lines, however induce conservat tism as to future ordering
 Pig rom markets are quiet, but fur naces are sold so far ahead that pro- ducers are not uneasy. New business in steel rails is of moderate proportions De- mand for structural material is only fair, though some large orders aer said to be pending.
 An impression prevails that orders for cast iron pipe will be reduced owing to the high level of prices. Sheet, as well as plate producers are in a position to make better edEveries. Demand for tin plate is not quite so active but the mills are very well fixed with orders. In the west. demand for steel bars is still heavy Coke continues weak, production being above demand. Elecrolytic and casting and copper are easier in price and domestic business is light

Dun's Review.

New York, June SIR. c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade says;
 Adverse weather has made the season another week late, both as to distribution of spring merchandise and progress of the crops. Transactions during the few days of seasonable weather thus far in- dicate that settled warm weather will bring out much business, but so much time has been lost that few merchants anticipate a normal volume and large stocks will be carried over sacrificed at bargains. Wholesale trade in fall and winter goods is brisk, large duplicate pur- chases being made because of the cold spring having depleted retail stocks. Man ufacturtng plants operate at full capacity in most industries. cotton mills making remarkable favorable returns in view of the weather and cost of new material. Dispatches from leading cities indicate that the business situation is much more

FOOTBALL RULES
ARE SUBJECTED
TO CHANGES

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Some impor-
tant changes In the rules governing
football were decided upon today at a
meeting Of the new joint rules COM
mitttee. The changes will come before
the joint committee for final disposition
probably in March. Among the rules
is the lengthening of the halves from
new rules In reference to the pass pro-
vide. instead of a penalty of loss of
ball on an unsuccessful pass. 15-yard
penalty on the first and second downs
When foul is committed 1t counts as a
down. The proposed substitute for the
present forward pass rule is as follows:
If a forward pass before reaching
the ground, or a kicked ball either be-
fore or after reaching the ground goes
out of bounds, the ball shall belong to
the opponents at the point where 1t
crosses the side line.
Another important change is the Gre
alton of new off1cias, the field umpire.
The new game, it was stated today.
often made 1t difficult for the referee
and the umpire to settle contested
plays, so the new official was created
to be on the field in the defending ter
ritory and close to the scene of the
play.
Rule 10 of last year was changed, so
that on a lzickout after a touchback or
a safety. opponents may not come with
in ten yards of the side having free
kick.
In the present onside rule a provision
was inserted that a lineplayer is per-
mitted to carry the ball, provided he
.oes not leave his position in the line
until the ball is put into play. 1t was
also decided that a player may at all
times pass the ball to another of his
own side who is behind him.
new section to rule 5 states that
the player shall be considered as hav-
ing opportunity to make fair catch
if he is in such position that it would
be possible for him to reach the ball
before it touches the ground. To the
same rule was added:
I'm case a signal for fair catch Is
made by any player who has an op-
portunity for a fair catch, and another
player of his side who has not signaled
for a fair catch catches the ball, no
run shall be made and a fair catch
shall not be allowed. but the ball shall
be given TO the catcher's side for a
down at the point where the catch was
made"

George writes a very intelligent let
ter and appears to be boy who means
business. AS there is no other con-
testant from Sonoma County, he ought
to be able TO get the support of the
people of the famous Sonoma Valley
pretty generally.
Twenty-six contestants have gained
a place in the score list to date in the
contest for the second series of prizes,
and as there are but twenty-five purses
to be awarded, one of these twenty six
contestants is sure to be left out in

has only fifty votes in yet, but since
she proved her efficiency and popularity
in the first period by winning six

tie over one weeks time, she is not
likely to remain at the tail end of the
procession very long. Somebody else
will become No. &c when Mrs. Amadol
moves up, and she will not be the only
one likely to displace some of those
now within the limit of prize winners
MANY YET TO HEAR FROM
There are more than a score of other
contestants enrolled who have not ye'
registered a single vote for this serie:

from in a very emphatic manner be-
fore the remaining FIVE weeks of the
period are up. Some who have not ye
reported for the second period are sea

eight different occasions. Stanford has
won but six times. Last year the
