u, S. GAINS IN CANADA TRADE.
Reports Show That British Are
Losing Dominion Business

Merchandise from the United States
forms a steadily increasing share OF
the imports Of Canada, as shown by
figures from Canadian official publica-
tons just received by the Bureau OF
Statistics of the Department OF Com
merce and Labor in Washington. Fur
thermore, Canada's imports from Great
Britain have declined during their
period of increase from this country.
Whereas imports from the United
States to Canada increased from 34.03
per cent of the total importatiOns of
Canada in 1869 to GOA per cent of the
fiscal year ending March 81, 1909, the
imports from Great Britain have de-
creased during the same period from
56.2 per cert TO 1859 per cent. Two
thirds of Canada's imports are manu-
featured, amounting in 1907, the last
year for which statistics are available,
to $166, 900 OF this amount $780,
100000 worth, So per cent of the total,
were from the United States, and only
$54,000,000 or 33 per cent, from Great
Britain. Merchandise entering Canada
from the United Kingdom and most of
the British colonies is admitted at
rates materially below those of the
general tariff paid by merchandise
from the United States.

NEW YORK.

All in all the business situation pre-
sents many favorable features, but
there is still an underlying feeling of
conservatism, and while less is heard
of the influence of tariff changes on flu
ture trade, there is still apparent dis
position to await the outcome of pres
ent legislative action and clearer
view as to possible crop yields. Among
the leading industries the activity in
iron and steel is still subject of in

ASK ACREAGE IN DESERT LAND.

Big Rush at PhOenix-RailroadR Rep
resentative Jared by Ruling.
The rush at the Phoenix, Ariz., land
Office Thursday resulted in the filing
of seventy-three applications on to-
tai of over 10000 acres of desert land
at different points adjacent to Aqua
Fria River, twenty-five miles west of
Phoenix. The line had been formed
for twentyfour hours preceding the
opening at o'clock. Well toward the
head of the line was a representative
of the land department for the Santa
Fe Railroad with large quantity of
railroad land scrip. The registrar and
receiver promulgated ruling that no
one applicant could make more than
two filings, or 800 acres, at one time.
The railroad representative retired
without filing. Later in the day, after
the line cleared, the railroad represen-
tative made filing on 1900 acres with
forest scrip

QUAKER CITY STRIKE RIOTS.
Mobs Beat Imported Crews in Phila-
delphia-Troub Spreads.

Car-strike riots were renewed in
Philadelphia Thursday, following an
outbreak the previous night, in which
nearly 100 persons were injured. This
disturbance was in northeast Philadel
phia, the scene of the riots, when a
crowd attacked two trolley cars which
were manned by imported workmen.
The windows in the cars were broken,
the car crews were seriously beaten,
and many persons in the crowd were
hurt by flying bricks. Several arrests
were made. AS the result of the dis
turbances in Kensington Lieut.. Sykes,
commander of the police in the district,
was suspended from duty and will be
tried before police board on charge
of falling to lead his men against the
rioters. Sykes, it is said, did not leave
the station house during the rioting.
All of those injured in the serious riot
ing will recover About 100 are under
treatment in hospitals. The station
houses were filled to overlooking with
persons arrested for rioting. The ele-
waited and subway system of the Phila-
delphia Rapid Transit Company, which
has been bulwark of strength for the
company since the strike began, be-
came tied up by partial strike of its
employees Thursday. The trouble start
ed when awest bound train reached the
46th street station. Here the crew de
serted and the train was run to the
seth street terminal by men sent out
crews deserted their trains at the 69th
street terminal The company's Off
Gals would not discuss the situation,
but the ticket windows were closed and
the crowds on the platforms took to
the streets.

FLOOD LOSS IN COLORADO.

Four Lives Have Been Destroyed and
Train Service Is Interrupted.
Floods due to heavy rains, in some
instances approaching cloudbursts, and
melting snow is causing damage in
many sections of Colorado. Four lives
have been lost in swollen streams, and
much destruction of property caused.
Train service In all directions has
been interrupted. The Grand juno
ton water system is threatened by
flood in the Grand and Gunnison riv.
ers, and other enterprises there face
heavy damage. Around Greedy the
lowlands are being flooded by sudden
rise in the Cache la Poudre River. A
dam southeast of Denver burst, and
the water swept through the lower
parts of the suburban town of Engle-
wood, causing considerable damage. In
the neighborhood of Limon the juno
ton point of the Rock Island and the
Union Pacific Railroads, cloudburst
changed the Big Sandy from dry bed
to roaring river, flooding many
farms in the low sections.

One life has been lost and heavy
property damage has been caused by
floods in the North Platte River and
its tributaries. The North Platte is
at record flood stage, and continues to
rise at the rate of half an inch an
hour. Bridges have been carried away
and roads in many plaes are impas-
sable. While attempting to cross
bridge spanning a gulley near the Es-
may ranch on La Fonte creek, near
Douglas, Wyo., Ben Wiederander, his
sister and her 4-year-old child, who
were driving in a wagon, were precip-
itated into the water by the breaking
of the bridge. The child was drowned
The horses and wagon were swept
away by the torrent and the animals
drowned. Ordinarily the gulch over
which the bridge runs is dry bed.
A heavy rain fell again at Fernie, B.
c., and Elk river rose rapidly, flooding
houses, lumber mills and schools and
carrying away an immense amount OF
cut lumber. Many booms went out
last night, carrying logs down the riv-
er by thousands. All streams in Koo-
tenay are in food, breaking all rec
ords. The Canadian Pacific Railroad
track was washed away in many
places. The passengers are being han

Big Mill and Elevator of Cereal Com
pany at Decatur, Ill, Destroyed.
In fire which started shortly after
1 a. m. Tuesday from electric wiring
on the sixth floor of the mill of the De
catur Cereal Company, the entire
plant was destroyed, with loss of
$650,000. The insurance is S165 900.
In addition to $4,000 bushels of corn
in an adjacent elevator, also owned by
the Decatur Cereal Company, were
destroyed. In an effort to rescue some
of the Office effects of the firm, John
Sheehy, fireman, was struck on the
head by falling timber and was in
stantly killed. The buildings were
situated at Eldorado and Vandyke
streets, with frontage of two blocks
on the Wabash railroad. The elevator
had capacity of 100000 bushels of
corn. The entire local fire department
responded to the general alarm, but
from lack of water pressure they
could do nothing to check the progress
of the blaze. The company manufac-
tured starch, but one of its main prod
ucts was corn grits, used largely by
brewers. 1t employed large number
OF men and was one of the biggest
manufactures of Decatur.

Trade maintains sustained progress
and seasonabie activity marks the

is not yet entirely engaged. Crop re-

look. Wheat cutting has started and
nature is busy raising what promise
to be the most valuable grains ever
grown.
Heavy June settlements at the banks
were attended without any important
trading defaults. The demand for mon

from local territory and more distant

Less difficulty is met with as to dat

recent improved demands for furni-

ucts gather more force.
Manufacturing now shows more dis
tinctly the recovery in production, and
there are increasing movements of fin
