The first contest came at the af
1 ternoon session. A. M. Walling oi

against the manner in which mem

VISITOR FROM WINDY CITY
 |SOPT|M|ST|C
R. ". McKinnon, Member of Leading Chicago Brokerage Firm Encouraged by Ex- tended Tour Over West.

R. w. McKinnol, of the firm of Lo gan & Bryan, was in the city yester. day, having stopped here on his return to Chicago, after trip across the continent to San Francisco, in which he visited the correspondents of his house, one of the leading brokerage firms in the United States.
 During his torr McKinnon has made study of the conditions from a finan- cial standpoint, and as a member of the firm with which he is connected feels much encouraged over the out look.
 With reference to the copper re gions, both in Montana and in Arizona, he finds that there is a general senti- ment that before conditions improve materially in this line there must be an advance in the price of the metal
 Otherwise he finds that there is every reason for encouragement, es. recially in view of the fact that all farm products are selling for top prices. and that Europe Is already booking orders for farm products, to be delivered in October The pros poets for a bumper wheat crop, he states, were never better than al present.
 McKinnon says that in all the sec lions he has visited the merchants have no goods upon their shelves, and that the same is true of the manufac turers in the east. He maintains therefore, that there is no reason Tor a prolongation of the present depres' sion, as there must, in the nature oi things, be a demand for goods.
 The visitor was of the opinion however, that all improvement, up to the time of the presidential nomina tions, would be slow. After that he expects improvement to be more rapid
 McKinnon left Bisbee yesterday af ternccn for Chicago. While here hf made his headquarters with L. J Overlook, his correspondent in this city.
