Midsummer dullness is less pro.

departments of trade and as the lead

some of the difficulties with which
they have been beset-crop uncertain.
There is still much idle cotton ma
chinery in New England and a two
weeks shutdown is scheduled for Au-
gust, but curtaiment is forcing a re-
covery from the low prices and there
is less pressure to liQuidate stocks.
Some substantial business is report.

markets for wool continue quiet, pri.
mary markets in the West are active

their disturbing elements-a broader
demand develops.
Footwear factories, East and West,
are resuming and trade Is much i'm.
proved in leather while hides have re-
covered from the low point, large ac-
cumulations having been moved
Further reyisions in some branches
of iron and steel induce some trade.
Production is well maintained at
high level and labor is well employed
throughout the industry.
Flour production in the Northwest
continues greatly reduced. Cancella.
tions in spring wheat territory are
less numerous and some orders are
being reinstated, as stocks are gen.
orally very low.
Dry weather again prevails in most
parts of the spring wheat belt, yet the
unfavorable conditions have been
largely discounted, and as an offset
the movement of new wheat is in.
creasing, while the cash demand re.
mains dull.
Commercial failures in the United

WESTERN CROPS DAMAGED
President Brown Reports Pastures
Badly Burned-Corn Normal.

The great uncertainty as to tho
action of the federal interstate com
merce commission in regard to in
creased freight rates and unfavorablC
crop reports have combined to exert
q retarding effect on general business
conditions, according to w. G. Brown
president of the New York Central
lines who was at the Blackstone ho
tel, Chicago, on his return East after
a Western trip.
Mr.. Brown had compiled a report
OH crop conditions in the West, (which
was even more unfavorable than the
recent government report, except for
the Northwestern states.
Il have just returned from a trip
Into Southwest Iowa and Northwest
Missouri, lie said, "and have re.
ceived reports from good judges OF
crop conditions who have made very
thorough inspection of the conditions
In Minnesota and the Dakotas. They
report 60 per cent crop of small
grain and 80 per cent crop of hay.
"ln Iowa, north of line drawn
cast and west through Dubuque,
Waterloo and Fort Dodge to Sioux
City, the weather has been hot, the
pastures burned badly and the small
grain and hay crop cut fully 25 per
cent. Corn, with fairly favorable
weather, promises normal yield.
"The Southwest quarter of Iowa
and northwest of the Missouri river
has harvested a small crop of grain
and hay, except in quantity and
quality.
Personally | am not at all appre.
hensive of the results of increasing
the interstate commerce commissions
power" Mr.. Brown said, but rail
roads generally are not inclined to
use their capital in extending and i'm.
proving the railroads until they can
tell better what the roads revenues
are likely to be.
Uncertainty as to freight rates is
bound to have a checking effect on
general business because men cannot
make long time contracts ahead with.
out being able to figure on the trans.
portation cost

JEFFR|ES TO
FIGHT ACAIN? f?
Said TO Be After Another Battle
With Johnson.

San Francisco, July 26.-Some cur.
ious stories are coming out of Los
Angeles, showing that Jeffrles in re.
covering his nerve after his defeat at
Reno is actually considering return
match with Johnson. Promoter Rick
ard has been with Jeffries for about
three weeks and the two have Just re-
turned from fortnight's hunting and
fishing expedition on Catalina island.
Jeifries caught many fish, and com
ing back he laughed and chatted for
the first time since his crushing de-
feat.
When asked to explain his poor
showing in the recent battle he said:
There was something the matter
with me. They sure did something
to me, and it will all come out in
time"
Jeftries would not say any more
and he would not talk about a return
match but the boatmen and others
who have heard him talk say he is
very sore over his defeat and eager
to show that If in shape the negros
blows would not have bothered him.
Mrs. Jeffries is said to be opposed
to Jeffries returning to the ring but
her influence will not count against
the big coin inducements that Tex
Rickard can offer. Rickard wants to
pull off another fight in Reno and he
estimates he could duplicate the re-
cent crowd if Jeffries was shown to
be In shane
