DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Initiating Contest Over Railroad
Rates Checks Trade.
CONSTRUCTION WORK RUSHED
Cotton Goods Affected Adversely By
Break in Raw COttOn-FOot-
wear Conditions Continue
Satisfactory.

NEW YORK, June Ar. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade today says:
The gradually improving temper of large
business during the last two weeks has
been checked by the irritating contest over
railroad rates. The effect of this upon the
trade situation cannot yet be measured
Sharp competition in the pig iron markets
has resulted in further price concessions
This weakness Is general In practically all
directions and some producers who had
been unwilling to lower quotations are now
meeting the Views of consumers.
In the Chicago district basic and mall
leable iron are most active, sales of about
$1,000 tons being reported, while q liberal
tonnage has been taken at Buffalo at de-
furnaces, however, refuse to accept orders
at the current level and in the PittsburB
market dizziness is again apparent. The
larger demand for finished steel Is fairly

Judging by the amount of new business
that has come forward in structural lines
construction work is being pushed with
vigor, especially at the west. Negotiations
for rolling stock comprise locomotives
chiefly, yet few contracts have been &C

wire trade, where demand formerly was
below expectations.
Cotton goods were affected adversely by
the break in raw cotton, buyers hesltatlne

ing Of Primary Law.

County Attorney Hess, during the last
few days has received several inquiries
from different sections of the county as to
the method to be followed at the primary

democrat wishing to change his party sffili7
alton and vote the opposite ticket can do
so. In order that a clear understanding
may be had In the matter Mr. Hess yes
terday prepared circular letter as fol-
lows, which he is sending out:
There are two methods by which a voter
whose party affiliations has been recorded
as provided by the provisions of the pri-
mary law may change his affiliation and
vate at the primary election.
the code provides as follows: 1AnV elector
who having declared his party affiliation
and desires to change the same may. not
less than ten days prior to the date of
any primary election, for written declar-
alton with the county auditor stating his
change on the poll books of the last pre-
ceding primary election in the proper col
umn opposite to his name and on the
voting list"
2. Section 1OS7-A9 oflthe supplement to the
code provides: ANY elector whose party
utilization has been recorded as provided

day shall be subject to challenge. If the
person challenged insists that he is entitled
to vote the ticket of the political party In

filiRtion, and the challenge is notwith-
drawn one of the judges shall tender to
him the following oath, You do solemnly
swear Cor affirm that you have in good
faith changed your party affiliation to

party and II he takes such oath, he shall
thereupon be given a ticket of such politi-
cal party and the clerks Of the primary

Frequently people will get spectacles
which suit them, and then go on wear
ing them for years without having their
sight tested to discover whether any
change has taken place. This is wrong.
All who wear glasses should have their
eyes tested at intervals, even IL the neces-
sity for such be not apparent to them.
As a general rule spectacles for old sight
require changing about every three years,
but it is desirable that the sight should be
carefully tested every two years, Lefferts.
